Caylee_anthonyAccording to a spokesperson from the Orange County Sheriff's Office, investigators have found Caylee Anthony's DNA; however they will not confirm if it was discovered in the trunk of the car that was used by the missing toddler's mom, Casey Anthony.

"When it is appropriate, we will do what is necessary to further this case. We will not discuss results individually regarding any item that is returned to us," Orange County Sheriff's Office Capt. Angelo Nieves said.

Despite this breaking news, Nieves does not believe Caylee will be found without assistance from her mother.

"What we need to do is receive information from Casey that is nothing but the truth," Nieves said.

Yesterday, WFTV.com reported that prosecutors had offered Casey Anthony immunity, in exchange for information about her daughter; however State Attorney's Office spokesman Randy Means has since said that no such deal is in the works.

"We are not entertaining immunity for anyone involved with this case," Means told WESH.com.

Baez also said that the only DNA evidence that investigators have recovered was taken from the car that Casey Anthony was driving.

Investigators spent several house questioning George and Cindy Anthony yesterday, but it remains unclear if they provided any new information.

Meanwhile, investigators are trying to determine who the biological father of Caylee is. It was recently revealed that a University of Central Florida student who died on May 8, 2007, is a potential candidate; however both his family and Anthony's are denying the rumors. Yesterday, the medical examiner's office revealed that they still have a sample of the young man's blood, which could be used for a paternity test.

Caylee Anthony's third birthday is Saturday.
