If that happens, it will then be up to the grand jury to determine if there is enough evidence to charge Anthony in the murder of her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
Meanwhile, investigators release check fraud documents and footage from surveillance cameras, which show Casey Anthony using stolen checks at several Orlando area stores, where she purchased groceries, clothing and lingerie. The footage also shows Anthony cashing a check at a Bank of America.

Oct. 08 – According to a source close to the investigation, prosecutors now have enough forensic evidence to ask a grand jury to indict Anthony for her daughter's murder. That evidence allegedly proves that Caylee's body was in the trunk of the car Casey Anthony was driving and at one point in the backyard of the Anthony family home.
ID has learned that Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, voluntarily provided investigators with DNA samples, which are currently being compared to hairs found in the trunk of the car. Anthony's brother, Lee Anthony, initially refused to provide investigators with a sample; however he later submitted to that request when investigators served him with a search warrant.
Investigators are convinced that Caylee was murdered on or about June 17. Cell phone records show that from June 16 to June 18, Anthony mostly went about her normal routine - traveling to and from her parents and boyfriend's house - however, pings have also placed her near Blanchard Park and the Econ Trail, an isolated area south of Lake Underhill. Both those areas were searched by David Lohr and Texas EquuSearch; however given the high waters and thick underbrush it is possible that evidence could have gone overlooked.
The grand jury is expected to issue a ruling in the case on Oct. 14.
