The State Attorney's Office this morning released more than a thousand pages of documents in the state's case against Casey Anthony. No photos or videos are expected in today's release. Here are some points of interest:
- The Orlando Police Department released the personnel file of Casey Anthony's former boyfriend Jesse Grund. Records show Grund was enrolled in the police training program in 2007 and 2008. He resigned for "personal reasons" in June 2008, according to a resignation letter he sent to Chief Val Demings. Records show he garnered mostly positive reviews, but was reassigned to remedial training at one point. The documents show he came in late and also failed to pay for a vehicle registration.
- A report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office shows that Texas EquuSearch volunteers found a dress depicting either Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse in the area of Lake Glory, near Orange and Nela avenues. Also included in the documents are e-mails between volunteers regarding that dress as well as tips from a pyschic who found clothing belonging to a young girl behind Hidden Oaks Elementary School off Suburban Drive -- near the area where Caylee Marie's body was discoveed in Dec. 2008.
- Other reports show unconfirmed Caylee Marie sightings in different parts of Georgia, Titusville and Volusia County. EquuSearch volunteers also reported to Orange County sheriff's deputies they had found a black plastic bag containing four machetes and animal bones near McCullough Road and Native Dancer Lane. Psychics also called in tips to investigators.
- Members of an Ohio search group call Body Hunters in Sept. 2008 told sheriff's deputies their cadaver dogs had picked up a scent in the area of Boggy Creek and Wetherbee roads. It turned out to be a dead dog. The sheriff's K-9 dogs responded to the same area and did not find the scent of a decaying human body. The site was cleared.
- Another person told sheriff's deputies they had discovered bones off Econlockhatchee Trail, between Curry Ford Road and Lee Vista Boulevard in Sept. 2008. Sgt. John Allen of the sheriff's office confirmed they were animal bones.
- Sheriff's deputies received a call from a person names Luke Phillips in Aug. 2008 reporting that two armed men were holding Caylee Marie. George Anthony was alerted of the report and he told investigators the family had hired a private investigator.
- Orange County Jail inmate Travis Nichols told deputies in July 2008 that Casey said Zenaida Gonzalez was "made up" and that she believed her boyfriend had Caylee Marie. Jail records show Travis had been arrested in the past on drug charges, as well as larceny and burglary.
- Hundreds of pages included in the batch are transcribed interviews with Cindy and George Anthony. These interviews were done last summer after Caylee was reported missing but before her remains had been found. These are interviews are not new. Cindy Anthony talked about how she was tried to get more information from Casey Anthony about where the toddler was and George Anthony spoke about the horrible smell in Casey's car.
