Caylee Anthony (Florida State Attorney's Office)
The man who began searching for Caylee Anthony prior to Texas Equusearch talked to News 13 about his observations and opinions regarding the case.
“...we lifted up everything in our area and there’s no doubt we would have found it if it was right where we were,” said Drew Tate. He said he became curious after hearing about the toddler’s disappearance and began searching the wooded area around the Anthony family home.
Despite not finding Caylee’s remains in the area he and a group of people searched, he believes Casey Anthony is guilty of killing her daughter, Caylee, and that the Anthony family is involved in a cover-up of sorts.
Casey is charged with the first-degree murder of Caylee and her trial is scheduled to begin June 2010.

Good interview ! He & I are on the same page with everything ...
100 lbs? a 2 yr old does not weigh a 100. maybe 35?
I think he was talking about Casey weighing one-hundred pounds not Caylee.
Drew Tate is a liar. That clean cut guy only came in way late in the search when we were on Naracosse Rd. He was not on those weekend searches. He is lying about it. Everyone was concentrating on the areas behind the school and closer to the school. That area where here body was found was not extensively searched. Drew cared nothing about Caylee. He showed up well dressed as if he was an undercover reporter or something. No one trusted him when we showed up.
Joseph Jordan has is own agenda. He is a "CAT" he was such a "CAT" in going into the woods. He acted worse than a girl. He would have never found her body because he was too afraid to look. He was too busy looking up in the air and chating and promoting "Justice for Kaylee" the other organization he is with. His is a liar. He was too busy cheating on his wife with another searcher. The guy does is angry at TES for some reason. When Caylee's body was found there was alot of anger and frustration from those of us who were out there EVERY single weekend even after TES left. We were going given permission to search and we would go so many places. We went places that were ridiculous because we were going by technology and were phones were pinging. We were not using common sense and logic. We did not search that specific area throughougly. THAT SPECIFIC AREA WAS NOT SEARCHED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. There was water in that area. No one searched that area in detail.
