For the fourth time, a CSI team has searched the home of Cindy and George Anthony, grandparents to Caylee Anthony, the toddler who has been missing since mid-June. Caylee and her mother, Casey, had been living with the Anthonys when Caylee went missing.

Officials haven’t released details about the latest search to find 2 year old Caylee, although the Orange County Sheriff's Office referred to Wednesday's visit as "routine." There has been no information released regarding the purpose of the latest search, which according to reports, was unexpected by the Anthonys.

Casey Anthony, Caylee’s mother, has issued a warning that her daughter may be in danger.

"Casey is telling us Caylee's life is in danger," Cindy Anthony said to reporters outside her Orlando home.

In the meantime, detectives have confirmed that they are checking the possibility that Casey Anthony impersonated the babysitter who allegedly took Caylee. The sitter’s name had been signed to an apartment complex visitor’s log around the time of the toddler’s disappearance.

Casey Anthony’s parents, Cindy and George Anthony, continue to proclaim their daughter’s innocence even though she had stolen gas cans from their shed and has been caught in a number of lies.

The Anthonys appeared on the FOXNews show "On the Record" with Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday.

Caylee’s grandparents say they believe Casey when she says she knows who took Caylee but isn't sure of the little girl’s whereabouts. Cindy Anthony reiterated that Casey has told her the details of Caylee’s disappearance "in her way," but refused to disclose further information.

"I can't reveal that," she said.

Van Susteren asked Cindy Anthony if Casey is a compulsive liar. Mrs. Anthony nodded and said that "lying isn't a criminal offense. Lying doesn't mean that you're a murderer."

This was the first time anyone in the family has suggested that Caylee may have been murdered. Some wonder if the comment was a slip up on Anthony’s behalf.

The Florida State Attorney's Office filed formal criminal charges against Casey Anthony on Tuesday. The charges include one felony and one misdemeanor offense which has been added to the child neglect charge already on the books. An arraignment has been scheduled for August 21 although Casey Anthony doesn’t appear to have an attorney.

Casey Anthony, who remains in jail on a $500,000 bond, has told the press that Caylee will be returned home by Saturday, Aug. 9, the child’s third birthday.
