Mother Of Missing Toddler Freed On Bond Save Email Print

A | A | A

(August 21, 2008)--The mother of a missing Florida girl was free Thursday after posting a $500,000 bond.

Casey Anthony said nothing as she left the Orange County jail Thursday.

She faces charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation.

Police say she lied to them and didn't report 3-year-old Caylee missing for more than a month.

Caylee hasn't been seen since June.

Her grandmother reported her missing in July.

Casey Anthony told investigators she left her daughter with a babysitter but they don't believe her.

Anthony's attorney, Jose Diaz, escorted her out of the jail under a black umbrella.

Diaz got into a scuffle with a journalist, pushing him out of the way.

WHY????? This story needs closure. The mother clearly knows what happened to that child....obviously the police are not doing their job correctly, this mystery should have already been solved. As much as we all want a happy ending.....time is ticking....GOD BLESS THIS CHILD!

yes there is much more to this story. I have been watching this since it began. This woman killed her little girl in my opinion. There are many detials she lied about where she worked, she took police to universal studios where she claimed to work and actually was walking them to an office when she turned and told them that no she didn't work there??? where she left the little girl no one has lived in the aprtment for 5 months. there was a shovel and missing gas cans there are pics of her partying while her little girl was "missing" I think there was an accident or the child was getting in the mother's way and she killed her burned the body and buried what was left very sad i hope she cracks soon and tells what really happened. I think if she gets the chance she will commit suicide.
