threats. we are learning how investigators might be able to miss something so crucially important. phil keating with the news in our newsroom tonight. how are officials in orange county saying they admit they screwed up. they are saying they simply did not search all of the search engines on that home computer. however, since this is now a closed case, the sheriff s department will not speculate on what all this could have meant in the trial. keep in mind, this is the same sheriff s department that never thoroughly searched those woods where caylee anthony s bones were eventually found without much evidence left on them at the time. the parents of casey anthony today released this short statement, quote: this search was never brought out in the trial and was never discussed or disclosed to the anthonys. however, while it is clearly more than an oversight, the trial is over and the anthonys are continuing to move forward with their lives. the sheriff s department now says that in the
shepard: fool proof suffocation. somebody searched for that when casey anthony died and he they found evidence that that happened on casey anthony s computer. in which the jury in the murder case never got to see. investigators in central florida now say somebody in anthony s house searched the web for how to suffocate somebody on the very day that 2-year-old caylee anthony vanished. there is no way to be sure exactly who searched google for suffocation. but investigators say this: right after whoever it was searched for suffocation, somebody logged on to casey anthony s myspace page. the discovery comes too late for prosecutors. a jury acquitted casey anthony last year of killing her2-year-old daughter caylee. of course, the sensational case became media sensation. the verdict making some folks so mad that anthony has been in hiding ever since. she says there have been death
