Missing Girl's Family Forced To Cancel Vigil

Casey Anthony Fears For Her Safety

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― The family of a missing Orlando girl has been forced to cancel a prayer vigil over safety concerns.

Twenty two year old Casey Anthony's 3-year old daughter Caylee was reported missing in July, about a month after the girl was last seen. Since then the national spotlight on the case has intensified and police have said the girl's mother was their only "person of interest" in the case. Their suspicion was increased after lab tests showed that a body had been decomposing in Anthony's car.

Anthony has repeatedly said she doesn't know what happened to her daughter. In recent weeks, Anthony has been arrested three times for grand theft, check cashing fraud and fraudulent use of personal identification. She's also been charged with child neglect and filing false information with law enforcement.

Protesters camping out in the Anthony's neighborhood believe the woman killed her daughter and that her parents, Cindy and George Anthony, are covering up for her. In the last week, there have been several angry confrontations between the Anthonys and the demonstrators.

A spokesman for the family said they've been forced to cancel their Sunday night vigil for Caylee to ensure their own safety.
