ORLANDO -- Crews suspended their search in the backyard of Caylee Anthony's grandparents' house late Thursday night until at least 8 a.m. Friday.
On Thursday night, search dogs and digging equipment were brought in. For now investigators said they're just trying to rule things out.
“This is part of the investigation,” said Carlos Padilla from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. “Right now we're trying to rule out any possibilities. You know again during an investigation you try to confirm or rule things out, so right now, according to the detectives handling this, they're trying to figure out if the child had ever been back there after she went missing."
Detectives also removed items from the home earlier in the day, and took a shovel from a neighbor's home.
Missing Girl's Mother Denied Bond
Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, 22, remains locked up without bond.
She appeared before a judge Thursday who ordered her to remain in jail because she showed a "woeful disregard for the welfare of her child" and has told authorities a string of lies.
She was also ordered to undergo a mental evaluation.
Casey was arrested Wednesday on child neglect charges and for lying to investigators.
Meanwhile, deputies continue to plead with the public to come forward with information as to the little girl's whereabouts.
They said their investigation has been slowed down because it took so long for them to learn there was trouble.
Authorities said they haven't issued an Amber Alert in this case because her disappearance doesn't meet the specified criteria.
Girl Spotted On June 12
Some friends told the Anthonys that they had spotted Caylee on June 12 in a shopping area somewhere along the Orange-Seminole County line. It was not known who the child was with at the time. When she was last seen, Caylee was wearing a blue and pink outfit and white-rimmed sunglasses.
Friends Call Casey Anthony A "Habitual Liar"
Many of the people police talked to about Casey said she was a "habitual liar."
Casey had told investigators that she worked at Universal Orlando, but the theme park said she had been fired two years ago.
Anthony did not give authorities the name of Caylee's father, but told them that he is dead. However, police said they are taking that information with a grain of salt because of the many lies they had already heard.
