Caylee Anthony : Ground Zero : Day 2 Update 3
Volunteers_3All totaled, nearly 1,200 people showed up today to assist in the search for Caylee Anthony. That is a pretty amazing turnout, compared to the low numbers we were seeing last week.
One particular volunteer, a lady who is now answering phones in the command post, made my day when she said that this blog was the reason she came out to volunteer. I thought that was really great and I found it very touching.
In my last post, I informed you about the radio interview I was doing today with Shawn Wasson, host of "The News Junkie" on 1290 WJNO. In case you did not catch it, I'll be posting a copy of it as soon as the station uploads it to their Web site. Shawn's a great guy and I always enjoy going on his show.
Anthony_house_02After the interview, I drove out to the Anthony's house. It is maybe five miles from the EquuSearch command post, so whenever I am in route I try to swing by there to see if anything is happening. There was supposed to be a rally there at 3:00 p.m. but when I arrived there, at about 3:15 p.m., nothing was happening.
I uploaded two new videos of neighbors discussing the case in front of the Anthony house. You can watch them here.
Search21When I left the Anthony house, I went to the command center and got involved with another search effort. I went out with a group of about 30 volunteers, to a wooded area next to Lee Vista Blvd. We canvassed the area pretty good but did not turn up anything of great interest. Like the previous searches, we found more bones but they too did not appear to be human. Nonetheless, we followed protocol and they were all flagged for closer inspection by a trained professional.
As I am sure you have already heard, the item that sheriff's deputies removed from George Anthony's vehicle was a handgun. This is the information that I wanted to share with you this morning, but at that point I could not find a credible source to verify it.
As an aside, you'll have to forgive me if I am not much of a wordsmith right now. I have been averaging about two hours of sleep a night and between that and dredging through the woods everyday, I am pretty exhausted right now. Regardless, I will continue the search and do my best to assist in any way possible, while at the same time giving you all the latest details.
