Scientists say hair samples from the car trunk of a Florida mother accused of killing her 3-year-old contain evidence of body decomposition.
Casey Anthony's daughter Caylee disappeared in June but has not been found.
Authorities on Friday released a report from a Tennessee lab that found five compounds consistent with body decomposition. Tests found evidence of decomposition on a hair strand found in the trunk, described as "microscopically similar" to one found on Caylee's hair brush.
Caysey Anthony has pleaded not guilty in the death of her daughter.
