Something nasty in the woodshed

The title is from a British comedy, but the reality is Caylee Anthony, according to CNN:

A corpse has been tentatively identified as missing toddler Caylee Anthony's, attorneys for her mother told a Florida judge on Friday. The attorney added that investigators said they "were proceeding as if this were little Caylee Anthony." Strands of hair found with the remains, found Thursday a half mile from the home of Caylee's grandparents, are the same color as 3-year-old's, the lawyer said. The age and measurements also were a match for Caylee, the lawyer added. Attorneys were in court seeking access to the remains and other forensic evidence. Casey Anthony, 22, is charged with killing her daughter, but her lawyers insist she is innocent.
Prosecutors said the request was premature, given that the remains have not been positively identified, but defense attorneys countered that a tentative identification had been made. Overnight, investigators searched the home of Caylee's grandparents and took several bags of potential evidence, Orange County, Florida, Sheriff Kevin Beary said Friday morning. The girl often lived in the house with her grandparents and her mother, who was arrested in October and charged with murder. Investigators "concluded there were certain things they wanted to be looking for" and searched the home, Beary said in an interview.
A utility worker discovered the remains in a plastic bag around 9:30 a.m. Thursday and alerted authorities, sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. Caylee has been missing since June in a case that has received national attention. The remains were taken to the county medical examiner's office and will be sent to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, Beary said Thursday. Meanwhile, investigators Friday continued searching the area where the remains were found.
Casey Anthony's lawyers filed an emergency motion asking that their experts be present for any forensic testing done on the remains. CNN affiliate WFTV-TV reported that the utility worker, a meter reader, picked up a bag at the site Thursday morning and a skull fell out. The region had previously been searched as part of the investigation into Caylee's disappearance, he said, but the spot where the remains were found, some "45, 50, 60 feet back", was flooded and underwater at the time. No clothes were found with the remains, he said.
Casey Anthony remains in protective custody and has no contact with other inmates, corrections officials said. "She has been seen by a Corrections Health Services psychologist and her status was reviewed," officials said in a statement, adding she was on psychological observation, which is not the same as suicide watch. Casey Anthony's trial, originally set for early January, has been postponed until at least March. Prosecutors said earlier this month they would not seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony. She could face a sentence of life in prison if convicted. Authorities have said Casey Anthony waited about a month before telling her family that Caylee was gone. Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother and Casey Anthony's mother, called the Orange County sheriff's office on 15 July, saying her daughter would not tell her where Caylee was. When questioned by police, Casey Anthony gave conflicting statements, including some that were later disproved, according to hundreds of documents and investigative reports released in the case. She claimed she dropped Caylee off with a babysitter, but when police checked out her story, they learned that the address Casey Anthony supplied belonged to an apartment that had been vacant for weeks. The woman Casey Anthony named as her babysitter told police she did not know her.
Investigators previously have said that cadaver dogs picked up the scent of death in Anthony's car, as well as in her parents' back yard. They also said air quality tests conducted by the FBI found evidence consistent with human decomposition and chloroform in the car's trunk. A neighbor told police Anthony had asked to borrow a shovel.
Analysis of Anthony's computer found she had visited Web sites discussing chloroform and had done Internet searches of missing children, according to information released in the case. Cindy and George Anthony, the child's grandparents, along with Casey's parents, have said they believe the girl is still alive and that someone has her.

Rico says this has already ended badly for poor little Caylee, but it's going to end up badly for her stupid mother, as well...
