Caylee Anthony (Florida State Attorney's Office)

In evidence released Friday in the Casey Anthony case, the FBI reports it found traces of chloroform inside a sports drink and a plastic syringe—both found near the area where Caylee Anthony’s body was found.

The report indicates the drink, Cool Blue-flavored Gatorade, contained an unidentified liquid. Also inside the bottle was a plastic bag labeled “Disposable Syringe Kit” with a plastic syringe inside, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Dr. Michael Rickenbach with the FBI determined in June that the syringe contained testosterone, ethanol, chloroform, and water.

The reports also state that a doll found in Casey’s white 1998 Pontiac Sunfire GT had “faint yellowish stains” on the front and back of the white clothing it was dressed in. In addition, slight traces of chloroform residue were found on the doll.

Nonetheless, the Sentinel reports that when the doll was tested again in July, no chloroform was found—thus, the yellow stains may have been urine.

Casey is charged with the first-degree murder of Caylee, 2. Her trial is scheduled to begin in June 2010.
