ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – Someone performed Internet searches for “neck breaking” and “household weapons” on the home computer of a Florida mother charged with killing her missing 3-year-old daughter, according to court documents. The Orange County State Attorney’s office released almost 800 pages of discovery documents in the case of 22-year-old Casey Anthony, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges in the June disappearance of her daughter Caylee.
In mid-March, someone used the Anthonys’ home laptop to search Google and Wikipedia for peroxide, shovels, acetone, alcohol and chloroform. Traces of chloroform, which is used to induce unconsciousness and also a component of human decomposition, were found in the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car during forensic testing, the documents say. Caylee has not been seen since June, but she wasn’t reported missing until a month later. The child’s grandmother first called authorities in July to say she hadn’t seen Caylee for a month and her daughter’s car smelled like death. Anthony told authorities she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in June and the two were gone when she returned from work. Documents traced the unsuccessful efforts of investigators to find the woman.
Anthony says she spent the next month trying to find her daughter and didn’t call authorities because she was scared. Investigators say they have poked several holes in her story.

Could even make one think all babies should have locater chips placed inside them at birth along with all criminals working up to anyone wanting a drivers license, retirement benefits, and so forth.
Then google can track everyone’s movements 24/7 and match that data to google maps and google searches.
Practically a fool-proof crime fighting system just waiting for further convergence.
#1 – Google can run the precog unit for Precrime. 😉
She’s a whore, and no longer the story. When are her parents going to be investigated for obstruction of justice? They did as much to further the bullshit cover story as their whore daughter did.
This is the gal whose toddler disappeared and she didn’t contact the police?
Put her in the chair.
#1 & #2 I am with you…the real story here has nothing to do with the mother and kid…how in the hell does anyone know what was searched for on Google or Wiki back in March? Maybe she was logged into her gmail account. But why would she be logged into Wikipedia? The fact that the story links her LAPTOP, (not her IP address or her account) is what is disturbing/fishy here.
Does she have a keylogger on it? Something does not add up fully here.
The texts and emails are of course easily logged…the searches are what I wonder about.
#5–roger==they have her computer. I assume by “searches” they mean the history log of sites she visited. My own history is kept for 90 days as I like to think “I have nothing to hide.”
That’ll change if I ever start doing something I perceive as “questionable.”

Naw. The highly skilled police forensic IT scientist probably just hit “{cntl} H”, and voilà, up comes her browsing history, complete back through the last time she deleted her browsing history. Which was probably never, so the history probably went back as long as she had the computer. And if (as is likely) she was using Internet Explorer, the history is conveniently listed by date (today, yesterday, last week, etc.) and by topic (wiki-whatever, google, etc.) within date ranges.
Just goes to show. Always delete your browser history when you’re going to commit a cold-blooded murder.
#6 I know they have her computer, duh. Even if the police took her computer this summer, it seems very odd that the cache would still contain searches from March.
The problem isn’t what you think is “questionable” it what the government thinks is “questionable”.
In North Carolina, a married couple was arrested for filming themselves for having sex in their own bedroom.
In Texas a woman was arrested for selling a vibrator…at an adult bookstore.
#6 and #7…
Have you every looked into Google Analytics? It is not your browser’s history, or cache, or Windows. It is so much more, scary even.
If she had an Google account, such as Gmail, then Google Analytics has her search history going back for a long, long time.
Try it out… you will see for yourself. It leaves a long trail about your journey in the Google universe.

Why’s that?
My Chrome cache has my browsing history back to the time I installed it. If you don’t delete it (or set an automatic time limit), it just keeps growing and growing. My Firefox and IE caches are automatically deleted twice a day (that’s what I use for planning murders, etc.), but as far as I know, they’d go back to Day 1 also, unless they were somehow instructed to do otherwise.

To my understanding, Google Analytics just shows where web site hits were referred from, etc. for “marketing” purposes.
I’m not aware of any feature that lets nosey parkers go in and find “everywhere Casey what’s-her-name has been in the month preceding the murder”, or anything like that.
#10…just because you are not aware of something does not mean it does not exist. I think that’s the whole point of my post.
Have you ever heard of Phorm? I bet there are a lot of things you are not aware of…places along the internet where your data is sitting.
I guess I give people too much credit. For me its hard to imagine using the internet to plan a crime and doing it from your own computer. But then again, the world is full of morons. Maybe they did just look at her web browser history…then again, maybe not. I am not so trusting in the internet.

I’m pretty sure that law enforcement can get access to this file.
I sort of think it might be good idea if people who don’t want their kids could just drop them off at human services or sell custody to someone that does.
It might prevent a few murders.

Huh. I didn’t know about that.
However, I have to “first download Toolbar and enable PageRank” before it will work, and I remember most of the Google searches I have done, so I’m not going to do it.
That’s kind of creepy.
I still think the cops could get everything they need with ctl H, unless the girl is smarter than she seems.

I was wondering the same, too. I assume the police had possession of her laptop?
If you are signed-in to Google, does Google keep a record of your searches?

YIKES! I checked mine and all my searched in the past month were there.
How far does it go back in Google’s records, do you know?

I believe between 6-12 months.

Good news! You must install the Google Toolbar crapware to get this to work. Thus I am safe from the authorities being privy to my many searches for the string “I love John C Dvorak”. Lord, that would be so embarassing.

Well, if you’re aware of it and I’m not, why don’t you just tell me about it, instead of being a cock-tease?
Or are you not aware of it either, and you were just looking for an excuse to make a snide remark?
800 pages of documents relating to the computer and other evidence? Either the computer was seldom used or the State Attorneys Office is being selective in what they are releasing.
Because the Judge authorized the release of the documents, along with all the other leaks by the police and prosecutors, I believe the case could end up being tossed as the jury pool will be too contaminated by now.
FYI
Your computer stores all activities on it’s hard drive. It’s not like the cache, or temp files like you all are talking about, it’s the actual activity log of everything on your computer online and offline.
All of this information is accessible to someone that has your computer (that’s why the police took the computer)
You can delete everything on your computer, even your operating system, then do a clean install as if the computer were straight out of the factory. Doesn’t matter the information and activity from day one of your computer is still on it’s hard drive.
That’s were the police are getting the information.
Also,
The state Attorney’s office is definately being selective on what they are releasing. The judge didn’t need to authorize them the ability to release anything. They can release what they want when they want, and keep stuff and say it’s “part of the investigation”. As discovery starts to go to the defense, the defense can also release stuff they feel fit. It’s all apart of the process.
The case would never be tossed due to suspected contamination of a jury pool, they could do a change of venue, but they would never just say “too much info, let her go”, The defense might later appeal a courts decision should they not feel it accurate on those grounds, but charges dont just get dropped.
#21–yourturn==an infinite amount of storage that can’t be erased/shredded/or overwritten huh?
Good to know.
