Human Decomposition in Casey Anthony's Trunk: Tests Confirm Casey Had a Dead Body in Her Vehicle

The University of Tennessee conducted tests of air samples taken from the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car. The results indicate a presence of human decomposition, prompting Florida investigators to request further tests on Casey’s car. The tests did not confirm that the human decomposition was that of Caylee, only that there had been a dead body decomposing in Casey’s trunk.

Caylee Anthony remains a missing person and this finding only increases suspicion that foul play was involved in her disappearance. Several weeks ago, authorities publicly stated they had Caylee’s DNA, yet would not comment on where it was obtained leaving many to speculate about the DNA test results. Casey’s car had been abandoned by her and when found, Caylee’s grandmother, Cindy Anthony stated she believed the car had smelled like a dead body when she called 911.

The driver who towed Casey’s car from where it had been abandoned also commented on the terrible smell coming from the vehicle. The foul odor reminded him of a car he had towed in which the owner had committed suicide. This information was released on Monday in documents that Casey’s attorney, Jose Baez, had attempted to keep out of the public eye.

Early in the investigation, cadaver dogs had picked up the scent of death, however, the Anthony family insisted the dogs confused the smell of a cadaver with a pizza Casey had left in the trunk for almost 2 weeks.

Immunity Deal for Casey

Fox News is reporting that authorities have offered Casey some sort of immunity deal if she provides them with information that leads to finding Caylee alive or her remains if she is deceased. According to the report, Casey has only 24 hours to accept the immunity deal.

Bounty Hunter Now Regrets Decision to Bail Casey Out of Jail

Just last week, Casey left her jail cell for her parents’ home due to the assistance of television bounty hunter, Leonard Padilla and his nephew, Tony Padilla, who posted her $500,000 bail.

Leonard Padilla claimed he only wanted Casey released from jail because he believed she had given Caylee to someone, that Caylee was alive, and that Casey would talk about what happened once she felt comfortable in her parent’s home. After the release of 400-pages of damning information regarding Casey and her behavior, today’s test results regarding Casey’s trunk, and the fact Casey will not speak to him, the bounty hunter has expressed regret for his actions.

Padilla stated to reporters, “Had I known that she would not talk to me, coupled with that (discovery) report—no, I would not have come (to Orlando).”

Sheriff Deputy Fired for Lying about Relationship with Casey

Another revelation recently released indicates that Anthony Rusciano, a sheriff’s deputy, was fired for lying about his relationship with Casey. Rusciano had told investigators he had met Casey at a party, however, evidence was found on Casey’s computer that indicated Rusciano and Casey had a relationship that was more than casual. Nevertheless, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department has stated they do not believe Rusciano had anything to do with Caylee’s disappearance.

I just have to say that this whole situation sickens me. Casey is a spoiled brat who obviously has never had to pay for the bad choices she has made and it looks like she is going to get away with it again. She doesn't seem to care about anyone especially her daughter Caylee. If she were so scared about her daughters safety if the police got involved, then she still should have told friends or family. From what I gathered from reports she never showed any emotion to them. If your daughter is missing how would you even be able to function let alone pretend everything is peachy keen. That is because she killed her daughter and didn't have any remorse whatsoever about it. I do also believe that she burned her remains. She "borrowed" gas cans so this would give her the opportunity to get rid of the body. I am sure she never in a million years thought that they would be able to do testing on the air. This girl doesn't deserve any sort of immunity at all. She has lied so many times that how does anyone know what she is saying is true. I don't think that this girl should get away with murder. I honestly think she planned it. It seems too coincedental that she came up with the name Zenaida Gonzolas and knew the address exactly of the same complex that this person looked at a few months earlier. I mean if she did over hear her that was a couple of months prior to this so how would she remember her whole name. A lot of things aren't adding up. We probably will never know but I do think she needs to be accountable for her actions for once in her life. I personally would think the justice system failed that little girl if she gets to walk away with nothing.

I dont think they will never find caylee . Reason mother did cause this child to die . In some kind of way of being a unfitt mother and puting her self first instead of her child. And she knows that. And if she tells she is going to go to jail either way . But if they dont get enough evidence against her to explaine why they think she did killed her child .And they dont have a body ,she is going to get the least amount for what ever they can get her for at the time of not haveing a body. But if she confesses she might get life in prison without parole or worse . So I think she is going to stick to the imagineary storys of lies she keeps telling everyone till the end . But with out caylees body they are not going to be able to give her what she truely deserves for what she has done .
