Authorities found nothing related to the case of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony inside a bag in an Orlando park, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Divers had found a bag with toys and what appeared to be bones Thursday and authorities worked to determine if they were connected to Caylee.

But sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said the items were not related to Caylee's disappearance.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, 22, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the case.

Caylee has not been seen since June, but wasn't reported missing until a month later. The child's grandmother first called authorities in July to say she hadn't seen Caylee for a month and her daughter's car smelled like death.

Anthony told authorities she had left her daughter with a baby sitter in June and the two were gone when she returned from work.

She said she spent the next month trying to find her daughter and didn't call authorities because she was scared. Investigators said they have poked several holes in her story.
