Anthony Home Searched

Cadaver Dogs Hit On Human Decomposition at the Anthony's Home

July 17, 2008

Based on tips given to police, investigators searched the home of Cindy and George Anthony after neighbors reported seeing Casey around the home when the Anthony's were away.

Investigators also confiscated a shovel from a neighbor who told police Casey had borrowed it when the parents were away. Allegedly, Casey backed into the driveway, instead of pulling forward into it as she always had, when she first arrived to her parent's home.

Cadaver Dogs Hit On Human Decomposition

Cadaver dogs, trained on finding human decomposition, were brought in to assist with the search. Investigators said the two dogs hit on human decomposition in the back yard and found the same smell in the car Casey Anthony had been driving.

Orange County sheriff's investigator Carlos Padilla told reporters, "We had two different dogs from two different counties that hit on the same exact spot."

Several other items were removed from the home and sent for further testing.
