Casey Anthony Detectives Overlooked 'Fool-Proof Suffocation Methods' Google Search
10:52 pm - 11/25/2012
The Florida sheriff's office that investigated Caylee Anthony's death says it overlooked a computer search for suffocation made from the little girl's home on the day she was last seen alive.
Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office's computer investigator missed a June 16, 2008, Google search for fool-proof suffocation methods. The oversight was first reported by Orlando television station WKMG. It's not known who performed the search. The station reported it was done on a browser primarily used by the 2-year-old's mother, Casey Anthony.
The girl's body was found six months after she disappeared.
Casey Anthony was acquitted of her daughter's murder in 2011. Her attorneys argued that the toddler accidentally drowned in the family pool and that Casey Anthony's father helped her cover it up.

eta: proves is a poor word choice, but you get what I'm saying.

Was it ever proven that George was at work the day Caylee went missing? I still don't think this new information proves murder. It's still circumstantial evidence. I do believe Casey killed Caylee, but I don't think the state proved it's case and I don't think this new information would change my mind.
Caylee would be 7 now, it's been so long.
The traces of a dead body in the trunk and the chloroform, along with the web searches, are enough for me, personally, especially knowing that she was a crafty liar who purposely threw police off course in the investigation.
Does the source say how the tv station came to find out about this? Did they cite a source? Or get a hold of the computer? I'm just curious how they got ahold of this evidence when the detectives missed it?

Like the OJ trial, the prosecution fucked up. Deal with it.
