ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The mother of a missing Florida toddler has
been released from jail - again.
Casey Anthony posted bond Tuesday on charges of petty theft,
check forgery and using a false identity.
Investigators call the 22-year-old mother a person of interest
in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, reported missing in
mid-July. They say evidence indicates the girl's decomposing body
was in her mother's car, but Anthony says she doesn't know what
happened.
This was Anthony's second arrest on accusations of check theft.
She also faces charges of child neglect and making false
statements.
Her attorney, Jose Baez, says investigators only arrested
Anthony on theft charges to bring attention to the case.
A judge also has denied Anthony's neighbors' request to keep
protesters and reporters away.
