Caylee Anthony Remembered At One Year Vigil In Orlando Florida

Caylee Anthony Remembered At One Year Vigil In Orlando Florida, as a small group of people gathered Tuesday, June 16th, 2009, to remember little Caylee Anthony, whose remains were found in December 11th, 2008.

It is the one year anniversary of the 2 year old disappearance and perhaps her death.

The group gathered Tuesday to remember her “joy and laughter.”

Her Mother, Casey Anthony was not there, as she is still jailed for little Caylee Anthony’s death. Under a first degree murder charge.

At a park in Orlando, Florida, members of a Facebook group formed in Caylee Anthony’s memory. They asked Richard Grund to lead the gathering. He is the father of Jessie Grund, who was engaged at one time to Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, who has been charged with Caylee’s murder. The Grunds at one time took care of Caylee when Casey Anthony was engaged and dating Jessie Grund.

It is important to hold a memorial to remember Caylee to mark this day to remember her as a little girl, to remember her joy and laughter.”

George Anthony, Caylee’s grandfather, was the last person to see his granddaughter leave his house with her mother, Casey Anthony on June 15, 2008. Officials confer that Caylee was killed by Casey Anthony a short time later.

Since her arrest in November of 2008, for murder, Casey Anthony, 23, has remained behind bars in Orlando. The state attorney’s office first said that it would not seek the death penalty but has changed their opinion as the facts started to roll in and will now seek the death penalty against Casey Anthony.

So, where was little Caylee all that time? Little Caylee’s whereabouts were a mystery until December 11, 2008, when a meter reader for the city of Orlando, found a bag containing a skull from a wooded area. It was on the same street as the Anthony’s home, where Casey and Caylee were living at the time…and less than a mile and a half away.

The meter reader, Roy Kronk stated that he contacted the authorities three times in August to say he had seen a suspicious bag in the area. A deputy was ultimately fired for not properly searching the area, when called to view the bag.

Those remains were confirmed through DNA testing to be little Caylee Anthony.

The small group sang “You Are My Sunshine” and at the end of the vigil, butterflies were released in memory of murdered and missing children. One butterfly flew and landed on a flower arrangement that was in memory of little Caylee Anthony.
