ORLANDO, FL -- Court documents show "neck breaking" and "household weapons" were some of the Google searches performed on a computer accessible to Casey Anthony, the mother of a missing Caylee Anthony.

The Orlando Sentinel reports that documents were part of more than 700 pages of documents released Wednesday. Casey has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges in the disappearance of her daughter.

Someone used the Anthonys' home computer to make the searches. On March 17, someone used Google to search for peroxide, acetone, alcohol, which can be used to make chloroform.

Traces of chloroform were found Casey’s car, along with DNA evidence suggesting Caylee's body had been in the trunk.

The documents also show the computer was used to search for shovels and "lost numbers."

Casey claims she left her daughter with a babysitter.  3-year-old Caylee Anthony has been missing since June.

Investigators say Casey lied to them and hindered their investigation.  She's now charged with first degree murder.  Her trial is set for January.

JUDGE DENIES GAG ORDER

Also on Wednesday, an Orange County judge denied a request by the state to place a gag order on key players in the Casey Anthony case, including Casey's attorney, her family, and prosecutors. 

Judge Stan Strickland said the legal standard to issue such an order had not been met.

"The State Attorney's office argued that the defense team, as well as the Anthony family's lust for the 'limelight' may well sabotage the potential jury pool when the case is ultimately tried. While this argument has some appeal it does not rise to the level of being a serious and imminent threat to the administration of justice," Strickland wrote.
