There was no immediate word on whether the bones, reportedly discovered wrapped in a plastic bag and bound with duct tape, were those of a boy or a girl. "All we know is that remains of a child have been found," a police spokeswoman told FOXNews.com. Orange County sheriffs and forensics teams went to the scene at the intersection of South Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive in Orlando. Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Solomons told The Associated Press that a utility worker found the body at 9:32 a.m. EST Thursday. Police said the Anthony family has been notified of the discovery.

Her mother, Casey Anthony, 22, has been charged with first-degree murder of her daughter, child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about Caylee's disappearance. Anthony faces life in prison if convicted. Prosecutors said last week they won't seek the death penalty in the case. Orange County Capt. Angelo Nieves wouldn't say whether the body seemed to be that of the missing toddler. "At this point, it would be reckless to conclude that," Nieves told FOX News. "We do have skeletal remains consistent with a small child. We will work with the medical examiner to make a proper identification." Earlier Thursday, Ninth Circuit Judge Stan Strickland complied with a request by defense lawyer Jose Baez to put off the start date of her trial from Jan. 5 until March. He set another hearing for Jan. 15. Baez also asked for a change of venue. Also this week, Baez said he was seeking a court order for surveillance video from a local mall taken the day of a reported sighting of Caylee. He is asking the Florida Mall be ordered to turn over the footage captured in November in a play area of the Orlando shopping center, where an employee says she snapped a photo of a Caylee look-alike on Nov. 16. "I took my last cell phone picture as the woman (accompanying the little girl) tried to cover her head with her arm to hide from me taking her picture," mall employee Halima Solomita told MyFOXOrlando.com. Caylee's mother and grandparents did not report the girl missing until July, about a month after she was last seen. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Source: FOX NEWS
