Missing Toddler's Mother Arrested For Third Time

ORLANDO (AP) ― The mother of a missing Central Florida toddler was taken into custody for the third time Monday.

Casey Anthony was visiting her home confinement officer at the Orange County jail when sheriff's deputies re-arrested her on new check fraud charges. A hearing on the new charges is scheduled for Tuesday.

Casey reported her three-year-old daughter Caylee missing in mid-July, though police say Caylee had been missing since mid-June. Casey was first arrested shortly after reporting her daughter missing. A bail bondsman from California provided bail, but Casey was re-arrested on theft and fraud charges unrelated to Caylee's disappearance.

Investigators say there's evidence that Caylee is dead and was once in Casey's truck. However, no criminal charges for the case have been filed. Instead, Anthony's been charged with child neglect, making false statements, and various counts related to alleged check theft.

The 22-year-old mother gained national attention as protestors have gathered outside her family's Orlando home. The protestors have grown aggressive lately, pushing the neighborhood home owner's association to file a lawsuit against the crowds. The HOA wants to set up a protest zone down the street from Casey Anthony's home.
