Casey Anthony Case: Search Volunteer Alleges Caylee Anthony's Remains Never There

Witness Says Remains Were Not There when She Searched Wooded Area

In the case of Casey Anthony and her defense team's attempts to show reasonable doubt, her attorneys now contend that a volunteer for Texas Equusearch, a search company specializing in organized search procedures, a witnes has come forward to claim that Caylee Anthony's remains were not in the wooded area where they were found when Texas Equusearch combed the location.

Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's lawyer, and his defense team has presented a sworn statement by Laura Buchanan, a woman who claims to have worked as a volunteer with Texas Equusearch when they searched the area in question before Caylee Anthony's remains were discovered by Roy Kronk, the Orange County utility worker that notified authorities of the remains.

In fact, according to Florida Today, Casey Anthony's lawyers claim to have found two witnesses that say that they there was nothing in the wooded area where the remains were found when they searched there.

Laura Buchanan wrote in her statement: "On Sept. 3, 2008... I personally searched near the privacy fence and worked my way towards, and then the spot, where the body was found. I did not notice anything unusual. I did not notice a strange smell. I noticed no buzzards, nor unusual animal or insect activity. It is my opinion that the remains of Caylee Anthony were not there during the time of our search."

The revelation that there are witnesses to attest that they found nothing in the wooded lot just fifteen houses away from Caylee Anthony's grandparents' home came just days after the defense team went on a media blitz and pointed the finger of blame at Roy Kronk, the meter reader that found the remains. Andrea Lyon, the attorney that will lead Casey Anthony's death penalty defense, stated during an interview on "The Today Show" that there was just as much circumstantial evidence tying Roy Kronk to the death of Caylee Anthony as there was implicating her client. The witness' sworn statement appears to be support for the contention that Roy Kronk could have been involved in the death of Caylee Anthony -- or at the very least had something to do with her remains being found in the wooded lot.
