Orange County sheriff's investigators would not say what they removed Friday morning from the home of Cindy and George Anthony, grandparents of missing 2-year-old Caylee Anthony. The couple spent about three hours at the Sheriff's Office in a scheduled interview. George Anthony went with crime-scene technicians to the house and led them into the garage. Moments later, investigators carried two large, brown-paper evidence bags out to a van. Deputies say the couple continue to cooperate in the investigation. However, Deputy Carlos Padilla, Sheriff's Office spokesman, said Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is not helping. "Casey has the key to this," Padilla said. "We still believe that Casey knows more than what she is telling us." Investigators are proceeding without the mother, who remains in the Orange County Jail on charges related to the investigation. "If we sat there waiting for her to open up, we would not be gaining any ground in this," Padilla said. "She is obviously an important part of this, but she is not in the game."
ADMIN ABF:
Friday morning George Anthony arrived at his residence in an unmarked sheriff's vehicle followed by a CSI Van from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Mr. Anthony and investigators entered the residence through the garage door. A Fox News reporter on the scene stated that he observed, by looking over a fence at the rear of the residence, the group in the back yard. By the time cameras were set up to video the activity, whatever evidence they were seeking had been bagged and all departed as quickly as they arrived.
George and Cindy Anthony had been at the OCSO in a meeting for several hours prior to the retrieval of the evidence and it appears that they are cooperating with investigators.
