Gainesville police are investigating a report that missing Central Florida toddler Caylee Marie Anthony was seen at a local grocery store over the weekend.
The Police Department confirmed Monday that officers were investigating the report that the child was seen at the Winn-Dixie store off South Main Street on Saturday.
"Right now we are treating it as an open investigation," said police spokeswoman Officer Summer Hallett.
The girl's relatives had been contacted about the possible sighting, according to police.
Officers were following up on the report, Hallett said. She did not release any other information on the ongoing investigation.
The 3-year-old Orange County girl has been the subject of an intense search and investigation, which has garnered national attention, since she was last seen in June. Her mother has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter, according to the Associated Press.
A lot of little girls probably look like Caylee , so there will be sightings. Heck, there are days when I can't identify my own children in a crowd.
And Jose Padilla held a prayer service for Caylee, saying that she is dead. While it is a nice sentiment, it wasn't his place to organize the prayer service. Hopefully the gag order will cover his big mouth too.
