ORLANDO -- A reward of $225,000 is now being offered for information leading to the safe return of Caylee Anthony, 2, who has been missing for over a month.
Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she believes her daughter, Casey, when she told her the missing 2-year-old might be with her babysitter, even though investigators do not believe the woman exists.
"No one can imagine why you wouldn't go to the police. Well, I can imagine a reason," Cindy Anthony said.
According to Cindy Anthony, her daughter's behavior, including her lack of emotion and conflicting stories, all support the idea she is holding back information to either protect Caylee or the family.
News 13 asked Cindy Anthony if she and the family planned to attend Cindy's hearing Tuesday afternoon. Cindy said she did not think so.
The family plans to do more media appearances to focus on finding Caylee, and not on the 2-year-old's mother.
"I trust her attorney to do what's right for her," Cindy Anthony said. "He knows her intention is to get her home, but I don't want to lose hours not spreading the word."
Friends of the Anthony family continue to pass out fliers. Their base of operations is the Publix at Lake Underhill Road and Chickasaw Trail in Orlando.
The group has fliers in both English and Spanish, and is hoping businesses will take media CDs to help them print fliers, because the family is in desperate need of supplies like paper, ink buttons -- anything to spread the image of Caylee, who has been missing for over a month.
"We want her home as soon as possible, as safe as possible, and I plead to whoever may have her: Drop her off here. Send her to the tent. I won't ask questions; I just want her home safe," said Becca Hoeschen, a friend of Caylee's family.
Lawyer: Casey Anthony Fully Cooperating
Jose Baez, Casey Anthony's lawyer, said the perception that his client is not cooperating with police in the search for her missing daughter is just wrong.
Baez said Casey, 22, has never refused to speak with police, and she wants to get out of jail so she can help search for Caylee.
The lawyer said he is carefully monitoring what Anthony is saying in an effort to protect his client.
Baez also said a hearing has been set for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday for the judge to rehear arguments for bail.
According to Baez, Casey Anthony is being charged with a third-degree felony and misdemeanor, and a second-degree misdemeanor.
Baez said it is unusual for someone facing such charges to be denied bond.
