ORLANDO -- More than 500 pages of forensic reports were released Wednesday in the case against Casey Anthony.
The reports from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office document evidence collected at the crime scene and at the Anthony home.
Among some of the biggest finds; investigators said the duct tape found wrapped around the skull of Caylee Anthony matched Henkel brand duct tape stuck on a gas canister at the Anthony’s home.
In the report, investigators said they believe Caylee died between June 16 and June 27. Detectives think the body was stored in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s Pontiac for a period of time, but was removed before June 27.
"Evidence on the body suggests that the child's death was not accidental but an intentional act," Detective Yuri Melich of the sheriff's office wrote on a Feb. 5 report. "As of this writing, there is nothing to suggest that anyone but Casey Anthony is responsible for the death and disposal of Caylee Anthony."
The legal and forensic documents also show that Anthony considered herself a bad mother. Interviews with friends of Casey also hinted that Casey’s parents, Cindy and George Anthony, were attempting to take custody of their granddaughter away from Casey. Friends also spoke of Casey as a constant liar, who lied about where she worked, being pregnant again and who she was dating.
Hundreds of photos were also released Wednesday. Most showed the wooded area where Caylee’s remains were found off Suburban Drive.
The extensive reports also include the evidence they discovered at the crime scene.
Authorities found a World of Disney bag near Caylee Anthony's remains. Inside the bag investigators discovered a Gatorade Cool Blue bottle with unknown liquid and white sediment. A syringe in a wrapper was found inside a toilet paper roll that was in the bottle.
Caylee's remains were found inside of two black plastic bags and a canvas laundry bag. A laundry bag with the same brand was found at the Anthony home.
Detectives at the scene also found a stained Winnie the Pooh blanket, a pink size 3T shirt with the words "BIG TROUBLE comes small" written on the front and pieces of a child's pull up.
Investigators said they found duct tape at the crime scene off Suburban Drive. "The duct tape over the mouth area of the skull appears to have caught up the hair along the side of the skull,” said the report. “On the tape within a black oval was written the word "HENKEL". Also written on the tape was "Consumer Adhesives Inc. max temp 200°F Avon Ohio 44011."
Investigators went to the home, where the report goes onto say, "During a search of the southernmost outside shed, crime scene investigators located a red metal gas can with a piece of duct tape on it. On the tape within a black oval was written the work "HENKEL". This tape appears to be of the same make and brand as the tape found on the body. This gas can was photographed and collected.”
According to the FBI lab, “Based on examinations, the pieces of duct tape found on the body and on the gas can are "comparable to one another in all physical attributes and in the chemical composition of their backing and adhesive components. Therefore, they originated from the same source roll of tape or from rolls of tape manufactured in the same manner.”
The sheriff's office asked the FBI to compare the black plastic bag found with Caylee's remains to the garbage bags collected from the Anthonys' house; to compare the duct tape found on the remains to the duct tape on the gas can from the Anthonys' residence; and to examine vacuums and cleaners for possible decomposition materials or other related items.
Also included in the documents is a letter asking the FBI to compare items taken from the Anthony house in December, when a search warrant was executed. Among the items taken from the house are multiple garbage bags, a Bissel steam cleaner, Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner, a Bissel spot cleaner and one red gas can with duct tape.
Casey Anthony, 22, faces charges of first-degree murder in the slaying of her 2-year-old daughter. Anthony remains at the Orange County Jail without bond.
Defense Reacts
Meanwhile, lawyers for Casey Anthony released this statement Wednesday. “The State’s forensic report on duct tape, plastic bags and other items is a one-sided law enforcement-generated report and is biased and speculative. It uses ‘junk science,’ the kind of flawed comparative analysis that the two-year study by National Academy of Sciences released today.”
