Caylee memorial taken down

The hundreds of stuffed animals, toys, heartfelt cards, and homemade crosses that were piled into a makeshift memorial at the site where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found have been removed.

Nothing is left but dirt. Sources tell FOX 35 it was removed between 10:00 p.m. Monday and 1:00 a.m. Tuesday.

George Anthony shared his thoughts on the memorial being removed. “I want to be as sensitive as I can to everyone that's placed things down there for my granddaughter. It was a very nice courteous thing for them to do that.”

The makeshift memorial marks where a meter reader found Caylee's remains in December. People from across the country have left trinkets there for her. But to this day her grandfather has not been down there. He just can't do it. He says it’s just too hard. “I'm glad it’s cleared up. I know I'm going to catch some flack for that. The items down there were rotting...there was some kind of odor down there. It smelled.”

George Anthony asks whoever still wants to memorialize Caylee donate to a children’s charity or to Caylee's foundation.
