How does the prosecution open the case against Casey Anthony?
It is 8.30 p.m. on July 19, 2008, a sweltering night in Orlando. The sun has just gone down, and the nearly full moon is about to rise. Kaylee Anthony has been missing for 33 days, and no one has the slightest idea where she is. A woman named Kiyomari Torres calls the detective leading the search for Kaylee, Detective Yuri Melek, and tells him, An hour later, Kiyomari meets Melek behind Hidden Oaks Elementary School. The last of twilight is gone, and dark is settling in. The moon is still down as they leave the school parking lot and walk down a hill into the woods. Once under the trees, it is very dark. Malik switches on his flashlight, but Kiyomari knows the way. She says she and Casey used to ride their bikes down here after school, carrying blankets, toys, and food.
They would hang out for hours. After a while, Kiyomari stops. This is the place, she tells him, the woods where she and Casey used to disappear as girls, where they went when they wanted to be out of sight from their mothers. It was their favorite hiding spot. It is only a six-minute walk from Casey Anthony's house, about a quarter mile away. kiyomari says this area floods when it rains and turns the ground into a swamp but no danger of that tonight no rain just humid and mostly still an occasional light breeze detective melek and kiyomari decide to search the spot and see what they can find perhaps a trace of kaylee but they don't find anything kiyomari is the first person to point police toward this swampy ground toward the woods but she is not the last
In August, a local meter reader named Roy Kronk calls the Orange County Sheriff's Office three times about that same stretch of swamp in the woods. That same month, a man from the neighborhood, Keith Williams, goes into those woods after talking to a psychic who tells him Kaylee will be found in the woods near the road. Keith finds a deflated balloon, stuffed animals and several pieces of children's clothing. He takes them to the Anthony house and Cindy says they are not Kaylee's. Keith calls the Orange County Sheriff's Office. None of those items will be officially tied to Kaylee, but they do bring police back to the woods again. Months pass. Then, on December 11, 2008, Roy Kronk is back in the neighborhood reading meters.
He returns to the woods to relieve himself. This time, he sees something white in the woods. He walks closer and finds a child's skull.
I looked down at my feet, and that's when I discovered the skulls that were basically at my feet.

Then comes May 2011, and prosecutors have to stand up in a court of law and prove it. The jury does not come from Orlando. Three years of nonstop TV and other coverage has made that impossible. So the court goes west to Clearwater on the Gulf Coast and selects 12 jurors and five alternates from Pinellas County. Then it buses them across the state to Orlando and sequesters them in a hotel where they will live together for the next six weeks.
