Story here. Excerpt:

'ORLANDO, Fla. — The Florida sheriff's office that investigated the disappearance of Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter overlooked evidence that someone in their home did a Google search for "fool-proof" suffocation methods on the day the girl was last seen alive.

Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office's computer investigator missed the June 16, 2008, search. The agency's admission was first reported by Orlando television station WKMG. It's not known who performed the search. The station reported it was done on a browser primarily used by the 2-year-old's mother, Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of the girl's murder in 2011.

Anthony's attorneys argued during trial that Casey Anthony helped her father, George Anthony, cover up the girl's drowning in the family pool.

WKMG reports that sheriff's investigators pulled 17 vague entries only from the computer's Internet Explorer browser, not the Mozilla Firefox browser commonly used by Casey Anthony. More than 1,200 Firefox entries, including the suffocation search, were overlooked.'

You're kidding, right? Two major browsers on the computer and only one's history was examined?! What, they were stoned when they did the forensic search on the computer?! *I* could have done a much better job of it and I'm not even a CSI dude!

Like stupid, incompetent is as incompetent does (or does not, in this case). If I were running that joint, I'd have two words for the idiot who dropped this ball: "You're fired!"
