ORLANDO -- The family of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony held a vigil Sunday night, but for the first time it didn't happen outside the family's Orange County home.
Family and friends have gathered almost every week since the toddler vanished, but last week they agreed to move the vigil, after neighbors appeared before the Orange County commission looking for help.
Neighbors said all the publicity and protests surrounding the case has turned their Hopespring Drive community into a circus, but protesters said they'll remain in the neighborhood, vigil or not.
"I’m glad they moved the vigil to a more appropriate place because protesters won’t be here. Vigils don’t bother us, on the contrary, but protesters can go away. They can go to their own churches and pray,” said Shelia Graziani.
“We’re out here protesting the fact that this mother is not cooperating with the police and she is allowed to be in the luxury of her own home rather than jail where she belongs. So whether the vigil is here or not it’s irrelevant to us,” said Cathy Harris.
The family agreed to move the vigil to an undisclosed location.
Meanwhile, Casey Anthony, Caylee's mother, has been named a suspect in the toddler's disappearance.
She remains on home confinement on child neglect and check fraud charges.
