Caylee Anthony Update 19 December

ORLANDO -- Orange County Sheriff's deputies said they have found "significant" skeletal remains in the same area where a child's skull was found Dec. 11.

Capt. Angelo Nieves said the bones also appeared to be those of a small child. The remains have not been identified.

The skull and earlier finds are undergoing DNA and other testing.

Deputies were reportedly called to this very scene back in August after a tip from the same utility worker that first found the remains.

"The tipster meets with a deputy that responds to the scene on that afternoon,” Nieves said. “They go into the area of the woods. The area is pointed out to the deputy. Deputy goes ahead and conducts a follow-up regarding going into the wooded area. And once he returns to the caller, he advises that there's nothing there. The call is cleared. Just says that it was trash in the area."

The crime scene won't be released until Friday evening or Saturday.

Once they have released the scene, the sheriff's office will give a courtesy call to Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's attorney.

So far, he and his team have not been granted access to the crime scene.
We have also received a statement from Todd Black, the spokesman for Baez, that said:

"This is a perfect example of why the public and the media should not be pre-judging this case. And Casey Anthony should be given the presumption of innocence until all the facts and all the information is revealed. There's absolutely no doubt that law enforcement is continuing to withhold vital information, and it would probably be a good idea for the meter reader to retain an attorney."

As sheriff's deputies continue to sift through the site where a child's skeletal remains were found, News 13 is learning more about the person who owns the property.

News 13 has learned that the owner of the property being searched is Thomas Hendricks, who has a post office box in Winter Park, but may not live in Florida.

He is listed as the owner of 25 pieces of land in Orange County, Florda alone. Records show he owns land in a number of states. So far, he has remained silent about the search on his land.

Like I said yesterday the defense would try somehow to blame it on the utility worker. If the police are withholding information it probably points to Casey. Casey's lawyers are just trying to plant a seed of doubt in the jury pool that will decide her fate.
