Missing tot's grandfather: Caylee's mom "crying inside"

The results of DNA testing are expected to be released this week in the Casey Anthony case.

The tests may show if hair and fluid found in Casey's trunk came from her daughter, two-year-old Caylee. But Casey's father, George Anthony, says he still believes the girl will be found alive.

George visited Casey in the Orange County Jail over the weekend and says he asked her some hard questions.

"One of the tough questions I asked her, I says 'Where's she at? Dad, I wish I could tell you more. I'm telling you everything I can.'"

He also says he knows Casey will have to answer to the charges she's facing.

"She has to pay for some of the stuff that's she's putting herself through and what she's put her daughter through at the moment," said George. "It's not going to be a clean slate. I know that."

Casey is charged with child neglect, obstruction and lying to investigators.

George says Sunday's visit with Casey was emotionally draining for him and his daughter. He says they're both thinking about Caylee, who will turn three on Saturday.

"She's crying inside," said George. "She's brokenhearted. She wants to be there for that. She says 'Dad, I want to be home for her birthday. I don't want to come home two or three days later.' She wants to be home for that."

Casey's mom, Cindy Anthony, and her brother, Lee Anthony, are set to visit her later on this week. Her attorney, Jose Baez, still says he plans to file an appeal with the state Supreme Court to get her $500,000 bond reduced.
