Also, late Tuesday afternoon, Eyewitness News obtained copies of hundreds of the tip calls in the case from people who claimed they know what happened to Caylee.

Casey Anthony's family has criticized investigators for not following up on all the leads on Caylee's whereabouts that have been called in. But what Eyewitness News found in pouring through hundreds of them is that most have come from psychics who believe Caylee is dead and that her mother or other relatives are involved.

Tipsters have sent drawings, photos and even maps. One said Casey's tattoo is a clue that could lead to Caylee's body. Others said she "is where a lot of exotic birds are and they are in cages." One tipster saw "a hula dancer and a grass skirt". Another said "a drug dealer was involved who looks like Snoop Dog. One woman blamed her ex-boyfriend for Caylee's murder. God, Caylee's spirit and even Caylee's energy were said to be the psychics' sources.

After going through almost half of the 1,800 pages of tips that were released late Tuesday afternoon, Eyewitness News found only two that have not come from psychics. One of them told investigators that Casey killed Caylee's father, whoever he is, and the other believes to have seen Caylee in June in Wyoming.

Tipsters reported having dreams or visions that Caylee's body is in a swamp, underground, in the woods, or burned. Some suggest Casey did it alone, while others suggest that she had help.

A few tipsters said they believe Caylee is alive.

One psychic told investigators that "Casey has demons in her and will never give information."

JUDGE AGREES TO MOVE TRIAL TO EARLIER DATE

Neither Casey Anthony nor her attorney was at Tuesday morning's arraignment on murder charges Casey is facing in the death of her daughter, Caylee. Casey had already entered a written plea of not guilty, so she was not required to show up.

Judge Stan Strickland accepted the written plea and that means the state now has 15 days to hand over evidence to Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, that the state plans to use in the trial against her. Any new evidence the state plans to make use of also must be handed over to Baez as they get it.

The state also asked the judge to move the trial period back from a previously set date in early February, possibly to put more pressure of the defense,. The judge agreed and Casey's pre-trial conference is now set for December 11 and the trial is set for January 5.

Investigators say there is evidence Caylee's body was in her mother's car trunk, that there were unusually high levels of chloroform in the trunk and that someone had researched how to make chloroform online using Casey's computer.

CASEY'S TRIAL DATE SET, COULD COST TAXPAYERS

Eyewitness News was the first to find out a trial date has been set in the case against Casey. She'll be tried for first-degree murder on January 5 and the case is going to be expensive, especially if it's moved out of town.

Most likely, the trial won't happen at the Orange County courthouse. No one can say how many 10s of thousands of dollars the investigation has already cost. Moving the trial could put taxpayers on the hook for tens of thousands more, maybe even for Casey Anthony's defense.

Even if accused killer Casey Anthony does not have to fight against a death sentence, her trial for the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee could last two weeks. That would mean two weeks' worth of hotel room bills for the judge, court deputies, prosecutors and at least a few investigators.

"A change of venue adds expense across the board," said WFTV legal analyst William Sheaffer.

Hotel rooms at between $100 and $125 a night. Any travelling witnesses will add to the cost, plus $36 a day for meals and 45 cents a mile for transportation.

Casey has hired private Kissimmee attorney Jose Baez, but William Sheaffer said she still could ask taxpayers to pay her defense costs, even if one of them has received money for national news coverage.

"There are a number of transactions that you can engage in in order to make sure that the money doesn't go directly to Casey Anthony," he explained.

Sheaffer said the defense will probably have to hire highly-credible and most likely expensive experts to refute the FBI lab evidence against Casey. It could cost at least $50,000. He said the judge would press her for proof she couldn't afford it.

"It's signed under oath, for what that means in this case," Sheaffer said.
