The skeletal remains of a small child were found Thursday in woods less than a half-mile from the Orlando home of a missing 3-year-old girl, but officials could not immediately say whether they belonged to the toddler.

A utility worker found the body in the outlying middle-class suburb about 9:30 a.m., Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said. There was nothing that immediately indicated the remains belonged to Caylee Anthony, he said.

Caylee's mother, 22-year-old Casey Anthony, insists that she left the girl with a baby sitter in June, but she didn't report her missing until July. Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with her daughter's death.

Todd Black, the spokesman for Casey Anthony's defense attorney, told the Orlando Sentinel he hoped the discovery was not related to their case.

"If it is, it is a sad day," he said. Earlier Thursday, a judge had delayed the mother's trial from January to March.

Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Angelo Nieves said officials told Caylee's grandparents about the find, but refused to discuss whether the remains were Caylee's.

"It would be premature to speculate," Nieves said. "We're not going to release any more information at this time. We don't want to compromise the investigation."

The FBI and forensic investigators were working at the scene, which sits on the edge of the Anthonys' neighborhood about 10 miles southeast of downtown Orlando.

"We have been advised to do a recovery, but until our investigator comes back with the information we have no comment," said Sheri Blanton, senior program manager for the Orange County Medical Examiner's office.

For the past several months, Anthony's family, police and volunteers from around the country have searched for the little girl.

The child's grandmother first called authorities in July to say she hadn't seen Caylee for a month and her daughter's car smelled like death.

Police immediately interviewed Anthony and said that everything she told them about her daughter's whereabouts was false. The baby sitter was nonexistent and the apartment where Anthony said she had last seen Caylee had been empty for months. Anthony also lied about where she worked.

As the case unfolded, troubling details emerged. Photos of Anthony partying after her daughter went missing surfaced. Friends said she was a habitual liar, but they also said that she was a good mother.

Earlier this month, the Orange County State Attorney turned over almost 800 pages of documents, which showed someone at the Anthony home had done Internet searches for terms like "neck breaking" and "household weapons."

In mid-March, someone used the Anthonys' home laptop to search Google and Wikipedia for peroxide, shovels, acetone, alcohol and chloroform. Traces of chloroform, which is used to induce unconsciousness and also a component of human decomposition, were found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car during forensic testing, the documents say.

Orange County jail officials also released several hours of videotapes of visits between Casey Anthony and her family from July and August, when she was arrested on neglect and other counts but before she was charged with first-degree murder.

During the taped visits, Anthony's parents tell her they're trying hard to find the little girl. Anthony does not appear to add information to aid that search beyond her account that a baby sitter took the girl.

Last week, prosecutors announced they would not pursue the death penalty for Anthony.

The Orange County State Attorney's Office said in a news release last week that "it is not in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida" to pursue the death penalty against Anthony.

Messages left with Caylee Anthony's grandparents and with Casey Anthony's lawyer were not immediately returned.

Mandy Albritton, a member of EquuSearch ? one of the groups that searched for the missing toddler ? said their volunteers did not check the location in early September because it was submerged in water. When they returned in November, the site had been fenced off.

One of EquuSearch's volunteers, Deborah Smith, searched the area three times and said "she had a bad feeling" because Anthony had said her daughter was nearby. She said, "it's really wet and steep and there's lots of snakes back there."

"I do believe it's (Caylee Marie)," Smith said.

It is more difficult to identify a child's body than an adult's, experts say.

Dr. Lee Jantz, coordinator of the forensic anthropology center at the University of Tennessee, said the first thing medical examiners will do is compare photos of the child with the skull, in hopes of making a bone structure comparison. In high-profile cases the DNA of the bones will also be tested.

no way ;((((

so sad. glad they finally found her though

I hope the give Casey Anthony the Death penalty

I cannot imagine the horror of losing either of my children. How could a mother do that to her flesh and blood. I guarentee they discover she is a sociapath.

Does not look like it - :disgust

"Last week, prosecutors announced they would not pursue the death penalty for Anthony."

"The Orange County State Attorney's Office said in a news release last week that "it is not in the best interest of the people of the state of Florida" to pursue the death penalty against Anthony."

I'm actually glad to hear that. Death would let her off easy. I would rather she live the rest of her miserable existence rotting in jail. Hopefully bad things will happen to her every day.

Rest in Peace.

I hope they fry that little girl's mother.

Even if she didn't do it, I'm pretty sure based on how she's acted they've already called her a sociopath.

That damn mother needs to die

they need to make little boxes instead of big jails for certain criminals, if you take a life in a brutal way you deserve to have your life taken away, but death is too easy of a way to do it.....make little boxes that fit a person just barely and stack them 20 deep and 100 across...just shove all the violent murders in them and feed them bread and water once a day...hopefully they will all die slow and painful deaths

I am utterly disgusted with that whole family...

That poor grandfather - seems to me he went through that shitty charade just for his wife. That Cunt needs to pull her head out of her ass and realize her daughter is a murderer.

I cant believe the media and judicial system have humored that cunt for as long as they have...

I agree with putting her to death...If you read alot of underground news, this girl was a full blown whore who left the kid with her parents and fucked people in cars outside her house. I have been following this story big time and as im glad there is prolly closure, fuck that skank for doing what she did to her...How dare the baby interfere with her getting assfucked in a car by a dude she knew 45 minutes.

Poor little girl,such a shame

what fucking difference does that make?

I don't get all the pro-death people. Sorry I'd choose death over life in prison knowing you may live 40, 50, 60 more years. Either way you're only getting out in wooden box. Death row means private cells. Saftey from other inmates that may want to kill you or rape you. VS life where your sharing a cell with a person who may rape or kill you others may rape or kill you. When you die on death row you are gently put to sleep like one would do for a beloved family pet that had cancer. If you die while serving life you likey are going to die form a stab wound or some other very painful method. Yeah LIFE is better. whatever.

Just remember if Jeffry Dahmer had gotten death penalty he'd still be alive. And his method of execution wouldn't have been a metal bar whacked up side his face 50 times. If he had to choose over again I'm 100% sure Dahmer would choose the death penalty instead of a life sentence.

That is very true...Point taken.

That is a Super Negro idea :winkwink:
