Series Of Missing Girl Sightings Reported In Georgia; Investigators Urge Caution
Grandfather: Casey Close To Leaving Jail
The new tips in the search for Caylee Anthony are focusing around Corneila, Ga., Local 6 has learned.A woman claims she spotted a girl who looks like Caylee being handed off to someone at a gas station in the city.And two days ago, another tipster spotted a child resembling Caylee eating at a restaurant within an hour's drive of the gas station sighting.Also, investigators spoke to a woman Wednesday who claims she spoke to Caylee at Orlando International Airport as she boarded a flight for Atlanta earlier this month.A composite sketch was apparently drawn of a traveling companion the woman said was with the girl, but sheriff's deputies said they would not release the composite unless the tip was deemed credible.Deputies also urged caution with the latest possible sightings because they said with increased national attention, there will be a number of false leads.Local 6 has learned that detectives have checked at least one of the new possible sightings. A worker at a restaurant where the girl may have been seen said an officer visited and asked questions about Caylee's whereabouts.The child's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she was encouraged by the new sightings."I'm real close to getting in the car and going there myself," Anthony said. "That is why I've been more emotional today than ever because I feel so close to finding her. And I feel if I could just drive there and talk to people, that we are going to find her very shortly."The FBI is assisting in the investigation and with tips from outside of the state, Local 6 reported.
