1300 People Respond In The Search For Missing Child Caylee Anthony
As we reported earlier, today began the extensive search for missing toddler Caylee Anthony, orchestrated by Tim Miller of EquuSearch. Orlando's WESH is reporting that at least 1300 people showed up from all over the country to assist in searching areas in and around Orlando for the 3-year old Caylee, who's big brown eyes have both haunted and captured a nation. This number is significantly higher than the initial estimates of 500, but still lower than Mr. Miller had hoped for set at 5000. Maybe tomorrow will bring even great numbers.
Caylee, who was first reported missing in July, actually was missing sometime in June. Her mother, Casey Anthony, waited 31 days to report her daughter missing, and only did so after her parents became involved with the case. Casey Anthony has since been charged with several felonies in the case, number one being first degree murder.
Here's more on today's search from WESH.
A total of about 1,300 volunteers came out to help today in the search for Caylee Anthony and Jennifer Kesse.There have been some discoveries of what appear to be animal bones at Blanchard Park and a few other locations.
An Equusearch representative said as far as she knew, sheriff's investigators had not been called in to look at any evidence. The volunteers have come from as far away as Canada and plan to search until dusk tonight.
They will resume searching tomorrow morning and Equusearch says, on Monday, it will reassess its plan.
In addition to the volunteers, dozens of bounty hunters have come in from all over the country at the request of bounty hunter Leonard Padilla.
Glosslip commenter Jeff was there, and has posted some pictures of today's search on his MySpace page. Thank you Jeff for taking the time and effort to be a part of this important search. We are all praying for some news and closure to this heartbreaking story.
