ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators said they concluded their search of the Anthony home Friday morning after serving a search warrant Thursday night and removing several items. The search came after a child's remains were found near their house Thursday morning.

Investigators pulled several boxes and bags of evidence from the Anthony family home (watch raw video). The conclusion of the search means the Anthonys could now return home, but it was unclear if or when that would happen.

Friday morning, Sheriff Kevin Beary appeared on Good Morning America to discuss Thursday's findings (watch Beary on GMA).

"I know you can't go into detail, but there was something that was found that made you want to search the grandparents' home?" GMA's Robin Roberts asked Beary.

"Absolutely," Beary said.

Beary said investigators searched the home early Friday after the medical examiner found "some clues that came out of the remains" that "linked it to the house." He would not say what clues were found.

"We took some things out of the house that the forensic people are very interested in," he said.

Beary said his investigators and the FBI would work around the clock and through the weekend to identify the child.

Asked if he believed if the remains are Caylee, Beary said: "I think it's a good possibility, but I have to wait seven to 14 days for the DNA analysis."

There are no other similar missing-child cases in the area.

"I say my prayers every day and one of them is to solve this case," said Beary, who is retiring in January. "I just hope that we solve the case on my watch."

Friday morning, deputies, the medical examiner, crime scene investigators and Tim Miller of EquuSearch, who had looked for Caylee Anthony previously, began combing through the wooded area where the remains were discovered, in search of more evidence.

Investigators, Friday morning, were cutting through brush and tree limbs near the scene of the remains discovery looking for fibers and hair. Blue tents were erected and a white sheet was laid out near the search area, likely for investigators to place potential evidence once discovered.

On Thursday night, Eyewitness News was at the Anthonys' home in Orange County as deputies spent hours inside processing the scene. Investigators removed at least two vacuum cleaners, notebooks and papers from the house on Hopespring Drive.

Neighbors said that, after Thursday's gruesome discovery of a child's remains nearby, they expected the crowds, but they don't believe there will be any protesting.

"I think it's going to be different, like showing their support for the family and everything," said neighbor Joyce Dickens.

Meanwhile, Casey's attorney, Jose Baez, filed an emergency motion (read motion) Thursday, because he wants to be present for any forensics testing on the remains. The court hearing to discuss the motion will be held at 11:30am Friday (Hearing will be shown live on WFTV.com).

SEARCH IMPACTS NEARBY SCHOOL

The continued search of the area where the remains were found is impacting a nearby elementary school. Hidden Oaks Elementary students usually enter and exit the school campus by passing by the search area, but that area has been closed off.

As a result, Orange County Public Schools has instructions for parents and guardians of walkers, biker riders and car riders arriving at and departing the school Friday.

For arrival Friday: "Students will enter campus through the back gate which exits into the Chickasaw Oaks neighborhood. School personnel will assist students and families at the gate area. Enter the neighborhood from Chickasaw to Flatwood Drive, then turn right onto Brackenwood following Brackenwood to Tomlinson Circle," the school wrote in a statement.

For dismissal Friday: "All bus riders will be dismissed as normal. Car riders, walkers and bike riders will be dismissed through the back gate that exits into the Chickasaw Oaks neighborhood. Parents should enter the neighborhood from Chickasaw to Flatwood Drive, then turn tight onto Brackenwood following Brackenwood to Tomlinson Circle. Car riders will be dismissed from the cul de sac at Brackenwood. Deputies will be assisting with traffic flow through the neighborhood," the school stated.

The school also cancelled its holiday program scheduled for Friday night.

YOUNG CHILD'S REMAINS FOUND NEAR ANTHONY'S HOME

Investigators removed the remains of a young child from a site less than half a mile from the home of Casey Anthony's parents' east Orange County home. Casey's attorney spoke to the media Wednesday night but didn't offer a lot of insight into the case (watch Baez speak).

After several hours of combing over the scene, detectives loaded the remains in a white medical examiner's van and took them away.

About 9:30am, an Orange County water meter reader, who had gone into the woods to relieve himself, discovered a bag about 20 to 30 feet off the sidewalk in the area of Chickasaw Trail and Suburban Drive (see map), around three-tenths of a mile from the Anthonys' home (map from location to Anthonys' home).

According to information obtained by Eyewitness News, when the meter reader kicked or picked up the bag, a skull fell out. The Orange County Sheriff's Office has confirmed the remains are from a young child. Investigative sources told Eyewitness News there may have been more in the bag than just a skull but they wouldn't elaborate.

"We are assuming they are the remains of a victim," said Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Solomons.

It is not known whether the remains are those of Caylee Anthony.

Deputies set up a perimeter near a small retention pond. Heavy rain pounded the scene, making the investigation more difficult. FBI agents and agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement were also on the scene.

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary said the area had been underwater during previous searches, so it was not surprising the remains hadn't been found before (watch Beary press conference). Equusearch founder Tim Miller, who heads up a group that searches for bodies, said his volunteers had searched the area before but that it was full of water and an ATV had stirred up mud and muck and made visibility poor.

When asked if the remains could be those of any other child, Beary responded, "Not that we know of."

Eyewitness News reporter Kathi Belich said sources told her they were taking this very seriously and would expedite DNA tests to determine if the remains were indeed Caylee's. Investigators told her they were "very optimistic" they had found the missing girl. Beary said the FBI had told him experts at its lab in Quantico, Va. would work through the weekend on the case if necessary.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, has been charged with murder in connection with the case. She is currently in the Orange County jail.

"She met with a corrections officer psychologist, and was reviewed and placed on psychological observation. However, that is not suicide watch," said jail spokesman Allen Moore.

Casey has been visited by her attorney, Jose Baez.. (Baez At Jail: Raw Video | See Images). Thursday night he spoke to reporters.

"I realize the circumstances as they are would lead most people to believe these are Caylee’s remains. But people have been wrong before," said Baez. He said Casey was upset at the news of the discovery and had asked for a sedatve. But he wouldn't go any further. "I’m not ready to disclose any kind of communications I had with my client," he said.

ANTHONYS RETURN TO ORLANDO

George and Cindy Anthony, Casey's parents and Caylee's grandparents, flew back to Orlando from California after appearing on Larry King Live, Wednesday night. On the program they continued to defend their daughter.

Passengers who were on the flight said the Anthonys were calm and wore their "Find Caylee" t-shirts. They were met by deputies at the gate and whisked away.

The couple did not immediately return to their home. Sheriff's office sources said they were taken to a hotel while a search warrant was served on their home. The home was considered a crime scene until investigators finished looking for evidence. The scoured the home late into Thursday night, looking for evidence.

Orange County deputies moved to secure the Anthony home after the discovery, Thursday. The home had been the site of many protests and on-looker gatherings throughout the course of investigation into Caylee's disappearance.

Neighbors and others began showing up at the house around 11:00am.

"It's unbelievable," said neighbor Nephtali Rivera. "I'm just looking at the distance from the house and the distance where they found the remains. So close."

EXPERTS REACT

Dr. Michael Baden, a forensics expert, said DNA tests would likely confirm what other evidence at the scene would tell investigators (watch Baden interview). For example, detectives said there was duct tape on the bag and the skull that were found. Baden said detectives would be able to match that tape and bag to other tape and bags they had previously gathered from the trunk of Casey Anthony's car.

"They can tell the age and height of the child. They'll have a good sense of if it's Caylee. The DNA will just confirm the evidence," Baden said.

Tim Miller, founder of the Texas-based search group Equusearch, said he had been called by law enforcement officials and told they believed they had found Caylee Anthony (watch Miller interview).

"The words were, 'Tim, it looks like we got her,'" said Miller. "I'm surprised. It was one of them cases I thought would have never been found ... I thought the best thing that would ever happen is that one day we could go to a funeral and say good-bye to this little girl ... and it looks like that will happen."

"I'm just overcome with emotion and grief right now," bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who has been a major part of search efforts to find Caylee's remains, told Eyewitness News shortly after the discovery was made (watch Padilla interview).
