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.

Like OJ, I hope she gets her ass sent to jail eventually.

So since she's been acquitted of murder, she can't be convicted of murder again because of double jeopardy or something, right?

If I remember that Ashley Judd movie correctly, then yes.

That's correct.

From my understanding, unless the new evidence can be linked to a different crime, then no. I don't think this evidence proves any other crime besides the one she was already acquitted of, unfortunately.

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

Isn't there an exception with new or previously suppressed evidence?

Oh yeah, we were all over this at Websleuths.

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.

IA. Her web searches are, at best, circumstantial evidence. This wouldn't have changed the outcome at all.

thats so sad to think about :(

What would have changed your mind? Casey's actions in lying to police and throwing the body in a swamp that would increase the decomposition time and hide the evidence of Caylee's murder subverted the best possible evidence.

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?

That's a good question, none of the articles seem to mention it...

There's a longer article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/25/police-caylee-anthony-google-search It has a bit more info than this one. Maybe someone from the office leaked it to the station?

BREAKING NEWS: CASEY ANTHONY STILL GUILTY!! Shocker. Whole "investigation" was slop from beginning to end. About as much of a sham as the OJ trial. While the possible reality is glaringly obvious to everyone, they're off on a technicality. And yet a dime bag will most certainly put you away for years. Yes, Gawd bless Amercia

Seriously, it's ridiculous.
ook 26th-Nov-2012 11:51 pm (UTC)
This, so much.

Like the OJ trial, the prosecution fucked up. Deal with it.
ladylothwen 26th-Nov-2012 06:12 pm (UTC)
This isn't surprising. The whole thing was a farce. Casey Anthony was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion but acquitted because the persecution when full tilt with murder charges they couldn't prove behind a reasonable doubt.
bestdaywelived 26th-Nov-2012 10:02 pm (UTC)
The reason that they couldn't prove murder was because of Casey purposely hiding evidence from the police and throwing the body in a place that would speed decomposition time.

Who the hell googles "how to murder someone" before committing murder?
hammersxstrings 26th-Nov-2012 07:11 pm (UTC)

hammersxstrings 26th-Nov-2012 07:10 pm (UTC)

Child murderer on the loose.

Not the first, won't be the last. A sad fact of life.
