ORLANDO - The mother of a missing Florida toddler has been released from jail.
Casey Anthony walked out of Orange County Jail on Friday, donning an ankle monitoring bracelet and a T-shirt featuring her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee. She is charged with child abuse and making false statements to investigators.
The girl hadn't been seen for a month before Anthony told authorities in mid-July that Caylee was missing.
Detectives have said Anthony's trunk contained a decomposing body, likely her daughter's, but no other charges have been filed
Prosecutors asked for high bail, hoping Anthony would not be able to get out of jail. Two bail agencies posted the $500,000 bond for her Thursday.
