It now appears that the remains of Caylee Anthony have been found, pending DNA testing.
I'm glad for two reasons. While there has been sufficient evidence that Caylee has been deceased since she went missing, and that her little body had once been carried in the back of her mother's car and then disposed of, her grandparents have been unable or unwilling to accept it. When the body was found yesterday they were on a plane flying back from California where they had gone to chase yet another "Caylee sighting." They have been living in such denial that they would have continued to chase ghosts for the rest of their days if her remains had not been found. Now they can go through the proper process of grieving that has been delayed so long.
I'm also glad because this makes the case for the prosecution much stronger. Without the remains there may have been just that one juror who could have been persuaded that there was a possibility Caylee was still alive.
So rest in peace, little Caylee. What a tragedy that your life turned out to be so short. But at least now your family has the certainty of knowing your fate, and your killer can be brought to justice.
