Caylee Anthony : Ground Zero : Cyber Search

September 07, 2008

I am still on the scene in Orlando, Florida, helping look for Casey Anthony's missing daughter, three-year-old Caylee Anthony.

I have been receiving hundreds of emails from readers who are unable to get involved in the search, but who would like me to look at specific areas (Jay Blanchard Park) and to photograph specific places (location of the dumpster).

Given the fact that so many people are out looking again today, I have decided to devote the entire day to YOU.

I am going to start with Jay Blanchard Park, but from there I will go to wherever you send me. If you have a specific area where you want me to go, leave a comment at the bottom of this blog entery, along with the physical address for that location. While I have many of the addresses on my computer it will take me time to look them up. If you send a note saying "check such and such dumpster" that will not help me, as I am not from this area and have to rely on GPS. That being said, please take a moment to look up the address and include it in your post. Also, I obviously cannot explore large wooded areas by myself, so please keep your suggestions to areas which are feasible for me to look at or photograph.

I need the physical address for whichever location you send me to so that I can spend my time traveling there, rather than going through the time consuming task of looking it up myself.

Please note that comments here are moderated, so don't become concerned if yours does not go up the instant you post it. Whenever I leave a specific location, I will check back here to see where you want me to go next.

Texas EquuSearch has my cell phone number and they have promised to keep me informed of any breaks in the case.

Now is your chance to get involved!

I wish you the best of luck today. I hope Caylee is found soon, so that other parents who truly want their missing children back home safely will have attention put onto their situations.
God Bless You and all the others who are giving of their time and effort!!

[Kathy]

I have been following this case and would love to get some detailed pictures of the trash dumpster at Amscot and the trash area at Tone's apartment. LP said that a trash dump near Tone's apartment was going to come into play soon (don't know whether or not to actually believe him). But LE did hand over pictures of a dumpster to Baez, so there may be "some" truth to it.

Bless you for all you have been doing to find Caylee!!!

[jennifer]

the garbage place where the dumpster was emptied? the dumpster where they found caseys car? i hope i got the story right../

[Vickie]

I am very upset with the grandparents right now. I have grandchildren ages 2 to 8 years of age. I do not understand why Cindy and George are not out and searching for Caylee,instead their bashing the people that are searching for little Caylee.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF THE DONATED MONIES TO THE FAMILY TO HELP FIND CAYLEE WAS USED TO HELP BOND CAYSEE OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME?

Our prayers are with this very disturbed family.

DAVID
I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT JAMES VAN PRAAGH. HE IS A WORLDWIDE KNOWN PSYCHI/MEDIAN. HE HAS A WEBSITE BUT I CANNOT GET A HOLD OF HIM PERSONALLY. MAYBE YOU COULD.
I THINK HE COULD HELP FIND CAYLEE. IT CAN'T HURT ...
HAVE THE SEARCHERS CHECKED THE DUMPSTER BY HER CAR OR THE DUMPING YARDS????
THANK YOU

[Barbara Chira]

I, too, wonder about the dumpster, as mentioned by Leonard Padilla on Nancy Grace last week as being of interest and located about 1 1/4 miles from Casey Anthony's former boyfriend's residence. Another area that is beyond your access is the concrete patio pad in the Anthony's back yeard, which much earlier on was reported as having just been laid down. What is underneath it???

[Ed]

David,

Your column is fair and objective on this case, which is what keeps bringing me back- just the facts.

It may not be feasible, but I think local dumps (specifically the dumps where trash from the Amscot building, Jay Blanchard Park, and Casey's boyfriend's apartment is carried to) may yield results. Thank you for your dedication to life.

[stephanie inge]

do you know whether or not the orange county sheriff's office searched in the local dump with cadaver dogs? also, is george, cindy & lee anthony helping in the search for caylee? wouldn't this all be so much easier if casey would just tell you where she disposed of the poor little girl? i am mortified that george and cindy even allow her back in their home. they should demand that she tell them the truth!

[Don]

Daivd,
I would suggest that you spend time at the command center and talk to people ~ find out why they are there and where they have come from
who knows if something is need you may be able to provide a contact # to help things out.

God Bless

[Karen]

I don't know if you can, but take some photos of the back yard of the Anthony's home. I wish the LE would conduct a thorough search of that backyard and do some serious digging up. Yeah they recently had a deck poured but that is just the point. Who pours a new deck in their backyard on July 4 weekend anyway, and why, why disrupt the back yard on a big holiday weekend like July 4 when it is supposed to be filled with family and friends BBQing and having fun.

Search and find out more about the Tool Shed in the backyard and the other areas where the 2 other sheds are located, and how long they have been there.

[Johnette]

If I understood correctly the Anthony's recently poured some concrete on their property. Anyone jack-hammered that up? Obviously the grandparents have some involvement.
Has Cindy Anthony actually ever seen this "nanny". If she has been her granddaughters "nanny" for more than a year the grandparenta would have had some type of contact with her?????
Just a couple of thoughts

Curious about Hidden Oaks Elementary School at 9051 Suburban Drive. According to a google map that was posted by someone (sorry, I don't know exactly who should be credited), Casey's childhood friend(s) claim that she had a secret place in the wooded area behind the school. Looking at the map, it may be a large wooded area. It is relatively close to Z's supposed address and the landfill.
If you're interested or curious (and don't have it), this is the link:

A blogger on GretaWire.com (FOX's Greta Van Susteren's blog) shared your site with me, and I wanted to thank you for sharing your experiences with us in this search.

The SOS Team, lead by psychic Gale St. John, is spending their FINAL day today on the search. It would be neat if you could hook up with them to get pics, etc. about where they've been looking.

Their search coordinators name/number (as posted on BriansDreams.com) is:

Thanks. JULIE

Have any searches been done at graveyards? It might be worth looking into burials that were performed recently, in that maybe the dirt could have been dug into after the burial and could have gone unnoticed.

[007]

You REALLY impress me. I wish YOU were running for President..
Best of luck today....

[Rose]

Can you look in the landfill? I know it has been a few months and all but we personally think she is in the landfill.

[Monken]

Since you have contact with the searchers & Tim miller have there been any cellphone pings or other areas to be searched that are not in the airport area? Could there be a possible link to sand lake condos located at 8927 Latrec, used to be called Bella vita,? The cell phone calls for June 17th ?I think, have not been released by LE, If you have inside info that this area is a possibility by cellphone pings, etc. I believe it is worth checking. It is 20 miles down the beeline express from the current searching. Casey worked at universal that is located minutes away from this location, she had to know about it. I'm just saying, i don't know if this area is a part of future searches, but if it is, there are plenty of reasons why. I just don't want resources wasted on areas of no concern. I don't have inside info, so I don't know. Please find out if this area is a possibility, Caylee hasn't been found yet & it's worth investigating,Monken

[Joyce]

I am wondering if there is a automobile parts store near the area... Someone said cloroform can be bought from automotive shops.

[ellainecarr]

I thank you for your involvement in the search. It means alot to us, who because of distance cannot help in the search. You all have our prayers. God bless you.

[Elaine]

I know that you cannot do this immediately but soon can you please get a one on one interview with Leonard Padilla,
possibly by phone as he is back in California. He has had some very interesting theories that I have only heard snippets of through various television shows and I think that someone really needs to give him the opportunity to share his theory on this case. At the beginning he was certainly up for a lot of derision by the public for inserting himself in this case, but I believe as he has had so much experience hunting down felons who have skipped bond that he can bring some insight into what might have happened to Caylee. He has a theory of why Casey made that flurry of phone calls that was reported she made and he mentioned it
on Geraldo but it was not discussed further. Also on Nancy
Grace he said that Casey has told Lee the truth and Lee has told Cindy and that Cindy's insistence that Caylee is alive
is simply to protect Casey and help confuse the case. Possibly you can get an interview with Padilla and get him to lay out his theory on this confusing case.

[Barb]

Casey told someone that she was going to pick her daughter up in Sanford, FL. (Tattoo artist or friend in early July) Is is possible for you to check any new construction by Lake Monroe near the Central Florida Zoo? The only construction I can see by looking at the maps is an overpass of Route 4 over US 17-92(Seminole Rd) There seems to be access to the Lake there. I am sure there is more construction, but these maps on google etc are outdated. Thanks for what you are doing! I am 1000 miles away and can't go there myself.

[Joyce]

Another area I would check would be Sawgrass apartments areas around there

[Maria B]

Lakes in the vicinity of Madison Avenue....

[ginger]

I dont claim to be a physicic. i just know i have something sence a child. every time i see lil kaylee i smell eathyor.and when they found the chlorform i liked to fell over. some one check a cemetary white gates, check burial dates of funerals. i keep seeing head stones. im not a quack.

[DEBBIE OWENS]

THERE WAS A CEMENT SLAB POURED PRIOR TO JULY 4TH, IN THE ANTHONY'S BACK YARD. ALSO CAN'T THE JUDGE ORDER A SEARCH WARRANT TO GET SOME OF CAYLEE'S CLOTHING, TO HELP THE SEARCH DOGS. I FEEL THAT THE GRANDPARENTS ARE NOT COOPERATING WITH THIS SEARCH.

[Joyce]

I noticed there is a lake at the sawgrass apartments in orlando

[Greg Dimmick]

How about checking under a concrete patio that was pored in the back yard of the grandparents home?

[Kathi]

I really feel that Moss Park is the location that needs to be searched. It's a very large area unfortunately, but it is close to the airport/417. There are several roads off of Narcossee that are rural and lead into a part of Moss Park. In particular a road CYRIL (sp?) which has a Koa Campground acess. I will forward a map of this to you.

[d waybright]

I think this location should be looked at. From her home on Hope Spring to Yates Dr. is 8.0 miles 17 Minuets,from Yates Rd. to where she left the cars is 2.14 miles only a six minute walk.
Yates Rd. is a dead end Rd. near a soccer field , also close to Chapel Hill Cemetery. She said Caylee was close to home and where she put her needs to be a walkable distancehttp://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=28.527896~-81.27538&style=r&lvl=12&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=5216026&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&rtp=pos.28.484002_-81.261092_4937%20Hopespring%20Dr%2C%20Orlando%2C%20FL%2032829-8646__~pos.28.5720831944905_-81.2780011985336_Yates%20Rd%2C%20Orlando%2C%20FL%2032807__&rtop=0~0~0&encType=1 to where she had Tony pick her up.
I hope the map comes through i really noy sure how to send it. I pray for you all today to be safe and to bring her home to rest. Deb

THERE WAS A CEMENT SLAB POURED IN THE ANTHONY'S BACK YARD, PRIOR TO JULY 4TH. COULD THE JUDGE ISSUE A SEARCH WARRANT TO LOOK THERE, AND TO TAKE SOME OF CAYLEE'S CLOTHING, TO HELP THE SEARCH DOGS. I FEEL THAT THE GRANDPARENTS ARE NOT HELPING WITH THIS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.

[Linda]

I was wondering why they are not looking in the dump where the dumpster that was near the car dumps their trash. I remember when that young woman was shot by her husband and he put her in the dumpster. The police knew where the remains were, because he told them. They stayed at the dump and did not leave until her body was found. I am at a lost as to why the police did not search and ask for volunteers when they first had an idea where she might be, such as the grounds near the airport. I think I remember them searching a little somewhere near the house, but it did not seem to me that they put a lot of effort into finding this child. The police need to get more involved and not wait for Casey to tell them where she put her. I do pray she is found.

I would drive to where Anthony Lazarro and Casey were living in June/July. I would then drive around and look for the first few places you see that one could dig a hole without being seen from a driver, homeowner, shopowner, etc. For example, a spot behind a vacant store or other spot that one could access from the road yet not be seen by people during the day or night (or at least, at night). Put yourself in the mind of someone looking to bury a body quickly and without being noticed. If you find spots near large trees, look on the ground for futile attempts to dig a hole. Often, wooded areas look good to dig near but then the digger finds the tree roots impenetrable at some point. The digger will then try to find a spot that doesn't have large trees around it, so you would try to look for same. Good luck.

[Julie]

I have read the case files presented thus far. I believe the shovel she borrowed from a neighbor bears a great significance to this case; as I do not see Casey Anthony portrayed as a type that would lift a finger to do anything pysically strenuous unless she had to. Does their house have a crawl space beneath it; and if so, have detectives checked it for soil disturbances?

Another place Casey visited with Caylee assumedly prior to the disappearance (which could not have been 6-9-08) was Lake Underhill Park with friend Kristina Chester (occuring on 6-12-08). Was this area searched?

[grace pryor]

Did nothing turn up from the bleach and girls bookbag you found? Are they still searching that area? Also, what about the dumpster and landfill, has that been searched?

[Patricia]

Hi Dave, I wanted to know if they searched around Cindy's Mother's house? that would be Casey's Grandmother - Nanny. Casey wrote in her statement that she was unable to find out from Zenaida why she is no longer in Orlando and if she was ever going to bring Caylee back..(Casey has stated that her grandparent's lived north of apopka) The grandfather is in an assisted living facility so the Grandmother lives ? the Family was so sure that June 9 was the last time they saw Caylee.. but police found out through a Father's day video taken at Mount Dora that it was June 15.. Cindy stated that Caylee had called the Great Grandmother (Cindy's Mom) and Cindy has said this when she learned the phone records were talked about in the media..

[Julie]

David,
Thank you for your continued efforts. I think by interviewing Casey's "friends" she latched on to may give you some insight as to what a true narcissistic psychopath she is. Find out about the stories she has told about her family, what kind of music she likes, what motivates or fascinates her, what movies or books she enjoys, etc...Additionally, one of the "fictional" cooworkers she claimed to know is Juliette Lewis, who happens to be the costar in the movie "Natural Born Killers". Police need to get inside her head and figure out what makes her tick, she will not succumb to guilty feeling... as she is incapable of feeling guilt.

[WhyNot?]

As farfetched as it may sound, maybe by visiting an early point, the ending point might be clearer to reach. I'm referring to Sawgrass Apts and its' perimeters.

I truly hope Caylee is found. This has rattled too many people's souls. Prayers for Angel Caylee, as well as prayers for the success in the tremendous search-job necessary for a closure to this heartbreaking situation.

[Jennifer Monteiro]

Would you be able to look at the local dump? The place where the car was found had a dumpster next to it. I think the body was disposed of there and taken to the dump.

[Donna]

A few weeks ago, some independent searchers claim to have found children's clothing and book bags in a wooded area of Blanchard Park. I haven't heard anything more about the "discovery" since the first report, with photographs showing the police coming to the area to collect the items. Have you heard any updates about the "find", or if there are any EquuSearch teams looking in that area?

[Stephen Ferreira]

Just a thought, wonder if anybody had checked this out. Casee says she borrowed the neighbors shovel to dig up bamboo shoots in the back yard. Did anyone investigate to see if there was actually any digging of bamboo shoots, and if she did dig them up, were they in the trash or out of the ground to be seen? If that is her story, and no evidence of digging or removed bamboo shoots exists, that would punch another big hole in her story

[Melissa Allin]

There is a small park and parking area with a pier that goes out into Lake Underhill. It is on the east side of the lake. I do not know if the area around that park and pier have been searched yet. If not, and you are able to...would you please?

4355 Lake Underhill Road, Orlando, FL

Thank you for helping with the search!

[Marya]

I would love to know if the Amscot location appears to have any security cameras that may show the location the car was parked in.

[T lawler]

David it is a long shot: but I would go check the cemeteries that had a fresh grave the time Caylee went missing to see if she buried Caylee under fresh dirt also look on the head stones or a tree for fresh markings or scratches of Caylees name such as CA

[pma]

There are some apartments on Lake Avenue. The wooded area behind the apartments next to the railroad tracks needs to be searched.

[Lisa]

I am from Salt Lake and all I can keep thinking about is Lori Hacking. Once they knew she had been placed in the dumpster they were out at the landfill and eventually found her body.

Being that LE has mentioned dumpsters I sure do hope they have been conducting searches wherever this landfill might be.

[Julie]

Why are BOTH Casey and her mother confused about the date they last saw Caylee? According to case files they both claim to have seen Caylee last on June 8th and 9th, when in fact evidence supports it was the 15th she was last seen. Did they attempt to get their story straight before speaking with police? Who was ACTUALLY babysitting Caylee while Casey spent the night at Tony's house between the 9th and the 16th? Was Caylee being forced to sleep in the car?

How did Casey's boyfriend and roomates feel about having Caylee spend the night there? Caylee spent the nights at prior boyfriends of Casey...why not Tony's house?

[glenda crenshaw]

May God bless you and Tim Miller. What a wonderful gentleman he is. I feel so sad for this precious child. Whatever the situation, the family needs our prayers, too. Casey is such a pretty young lady and what a waste it is to see her in her present circumstances and with such an "attitude." Only God can help her get her act together and I pray she can realize that somehow or other. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who are searching.
