Caylee Marie Anthony was first reported missing on July 15, over 30 days after she first disappeared.

Casey Anthony, mother of the missing 3-year-old toddler, says she left Caylee in the care of a babysitter, Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez. However, investigators in the case say they haven't been able to determine that this person exists.

Casey was taken into custody on July 16, charged with child neglect, making false statements and obstructing an investigation. Her bond was set at $500,200. She was bonded out by a California bounty hunter on August 21.

On Friday, August 28, she was re-arrested for uttering a forged instrument, fraudulent use of personal information and petit theft. The bounty hunter that first posted her bond rescinded his offer, making it virtually impossible for her to be released on a $503,200 bond with her additional $3,000 bond on new charges.

Orange County officers filed additional check fraud and theft charges, and say they plan to charge Casey with more economic crimes in the future.

Casey was released for a second time Friday, September 5 after an anonymous person or group fronted her bond. She was escorted out of the jail by her attorney, Jose Baez, and two bodyguards.

She was arrested for a third time Monday, September 15 on new check fraud and theft charges. Casey was released shortly after on a $1,250 bond and was again escorted out of jail by her attorney and two bodyguards.
Anthony was arrested Tuesday October 14, 2008 on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter and four counts of lying to investigators about the disappearance of her daughter.

On Wednesday October 15, 2008 Casey Anthony made her initial court appearance on charges that she murdered her missing 3-year-old daughter, Caylee. Anthony went before Judge John Jordan, who read the charges against her. Dressed in a blue jail jumpsuit, Anthony made no comment during Wednesday's 90-second hearing.

The remains of a small child were found less than half a mile away from Casey's home in Orlando on December 11, 2008. On December 19, 2009 a medical examiner determined the remains were those of missing Caylee Anthony.

On Tuesday February 10, 2009 a public memorial service was held for Caylee.

Casey Anthony’s murder trial is scheduled to begin with a pretrial hearing on January 21, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., with plans for a trial date sometime next summer.
