A heart-shaped sticker was placed on the duct tape covering 2-year-old Caylee Anthony's mouth, revealed Florida prosecutors in hundreds of legal pages released today. A Winnie the Pooh blanket accompanied the child's clothing inside the cloth laundry bag that held  the toddler's remains, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Investigators at an FBI lab noticed a heart-shaped residue on the tape that matched the shape of a sticker found at the wooded crime scene. "It appears that the sticker was put on the duct tape intentionally," a sheriff wrote in the documents. The discovery prompted a fresh search of the Anthony household, in which officials seized stickers, other craft materials, and Caylee's shoes and toys.
