caseymanthony.JPGProsecutors in Orange County, FL have made public the results of forensic tests performed in the investigation into the disappearance of Orlando-area toddler Caylee Anthony. The tests were performed by the FBI and the National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN.

Items from the Pontiac Casey Anthony abandoned after her daughter's disappearance were tested. They included hair and a trunk liner. Some of this has already been made public, but here ya go:

-- It was apparent from the root of the hair found in the Pontiac's trunk that the owner of that hair was in a state of decomposition when the hair was shed. Which is a long way of saying the hair came from a corpse. DNA from both Casey and Caylee didn't exclude either one as the source of the DNA. Casey's alive and in jail, charged with first-degree murder, so...

-- There was chloroform residue found in the trunk. Chloroform, which can put you into a deep sleep, or kill you, depending on the amount used. The tests indicated that there was "an unusually large concentration" of the substance in the trunk.

-- Air from the trunk of the Pontiac was tested at Oak Ridge. From the Orlando Sentinel: "A portion of the total odor signature from the trunk 'is consistent with a decompositional event that could be a human origin.'"

Casey and her family still insist little Caylee was taken by a babysitter named Zenaida Gonzalez. Casey's family still appear regularly on national TV to vocally defend her. Most folks familiar with the story still don't buy it all. [OrlandoSentinel.com. And while you're at it, check out my friend Willoughby Mariano's "Orlando Homicide Report."]
