The Search For 2-Year-Old Caylee Anthony

Casey Anthony failed to report her daughter missing for five weeks

ORLANDO (CBS4) ― Casey Anthony, 22, left the Orange County jail earlier this week after making $500,000 bond. She's staying at her parent's home, where authorities will monitor her with an electronic ankle device.

A family spokesman said on Saturday that she's trying to help find her daughter.

She faces charges of child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, who has been missing since June.

Police say Casey Anthony lied to them and didn't report Caylee missing for more than a month. Caylee's grandmother reported her disappearance in July.

Anthony told investigators she left Caylee in an apartment with a babysitter June 9. But investigators say the apartment had been empty for several months.

She told detectives she didn't immediately call authorities to report Caylee missing because she was conducting her own investigation, according to an affidavit.

But authorities say Anthony, a single mother, has shown no remorse or concern for Caylee under questioning. Cadaver-sniffing dogs detected a scent in her car, and hair, dirt and a strange stain were found in the trunk. Investigators are still awaiting FBI tests on that evidence.

A neighbor told detectives Anthony had asked to borrow a shovel sometime in June. Her father said she had stolen two gas cans from the garage and refused to let him get something from the trunk of her car. A boyfriend said she never told him in June that Caylee was missing.
