ORLANDO -- Forensic test results released by the state Friday in the case against Casey Anthony confirm a decomposing body was in the trunk of her car.
The results came close to five months since Casey Anthony's daughter, Caylee, disappeared in June.
According to the report, nearly all of the compounds present in early human decomposition were detected in air samples from the trunk.
The report specified the chemical compounds detected are specifically human, and do not belong to a dead animal -- or rotting pizza, as the Anthony family had suggested.
Test results from the FBI showed a decomposing hair found in the trunk is "microscopically similar" to hair recovered from a hairbrush belonging to 3-year-old Caylee.
The reports also confirmed traces of the the potentially deadly chemical chloroform were also found in the car trunk.
A second hair fragment was found on a shovel Casey Anthony borrowed from her neighbor days after investigators believe Caylee was murdered, but that hair did not match either Casey or Caylee.
"From what I've heard, it can only be one of three people: The neighbor who the shovel belonged to, who we don't know whether or not he's been tested; Casey Anthony's boyfriend; or Casey Anthony's father," said defense attorney Richard Hornsby.
The samples showing decomposition, however, could be the weakest link in the case, because it is new scientific research that only started in 2002.
Hornsby said he most surprised about how clean the trunk was, and believes a second suspect will surface.
"If the hypothesis that Caylee was in the trunk is true, whoever helped Miss Anthony was very intelligent, and I would have to think they had some law enforcement background," Hornsby said.
"Today's released information proves absolutely that there has never been and still isn't any connection with Casey Anthony having committed any crime," said a spokesperson for Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney. "Ms. Anthony, her mother and father, and Jose Baez continue to believe Caylee is still alive." See previous story.
