ORLANDO, Fla. -- Three sources close to the investigation into the case of missing toddler Caylee Anthony told WESH 2 that preliminary lab results show there was chloroform in mother Casey Anthony's car.
Chloroform is a chemical that was used years ago to sedate patients before surgery. A chemist told WESH 2 it is a fairly-hazardous material not readily available to consumers.
Sources told WESH 2 the level of chloroform in her car was "suspiciously high." They also told WESH 2 that her computer confiscated within hours of her July arrest, show visits to Web sites with information on chloroform.
WESH 2 asked a spokeswoman for Casey Anthony's lawyer about their reaction to the chloroform finding. She referred us to the state attorney's office.
