(Newser) – After searching the home of Caylee Anthony’s grandparents last night, investigators say they “absolutely” found something of interest, CNN reports. The medical examiner linked the remains of a young child found yesterday in the area to the house where the 3-year-old lived with her grandparents and her mom, prompting authorities to search the home, AP reports.

The remains, found in a plastic bag on a wooded lot less than a half-mile from the house, have not been confirmed to be Caylee's. But asked if he believed the missing tot had been found, the sheriff said, “My gut says yes.” DNA analysis could take 7 to 14 days, but if the body is confirmed to be that of the missing child, legal experts say prosecutors should be able to convict mother Casey Anthony.

My gut says yes, but I have to wait seven to 14 days for the DNA analysis to absolutely make sure. - Sheriff Kevin Beary, on whether the remains found are those of Caylee Anthony

They told us they thought it was an accident and she's scared and tried to cover it up. They don't feel there's a motive. - Cindy Anthony, Caylee's grandmother

Anthony, who waited a month to report her daughter missing??Didn't I read that she lived with her parents. The childs grandparents had to be in on something if they didn't report the child missing. My daughter and my grandchildren live with me and I always know where they are.

Casey, though not proven guilty in a court of law; is still one sick, twisted murdering bitch; in the public eye(as well as mine!).No mother in 'her right mind', would let her daughter go off(so she says'), with a woman she barely knows to be babysat. Casey has shown that she has no 'soul',she will have plenty of time to think about her actions, the rest of her life!

To the person who insulted our BIBLE and our Beliefs (STORMY 7) I have something to tell you:First: you need to know WHO GOD really is in order to even think about passing JUDGEMENT on our LORD and SAVIOR.God allowed this horrible thing to happen in order to rescue this little Angel from the CRAZY FAMILY she had, and from the Horrible world in which we live and have to put up with People like you...May God have mercy on your Soul also..The way you speak-you could be the NEXT CASEY ANTHONY-(another CHILD of the DEVIL)
