ORLANDO -- Casey Anthony remained in jail Wednesday despite being granted a $500,000 bond.
In addition to the bond, if she is released Anthony would have to have a GPS device attached to her.
Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez said after the bond hearing that a $500,000 bond is tantamount to no bond because her family doesn't have that kind of money.
The hearing lasted for about three hours Tuesday afternoon, as Casey Anthony's parents and brother took the stand, along with investigators from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
Casey Anthony's attorneys were calling for bond to be set at $10,000 on the felony and two misdemeanor charges.
Judge Stan Strickland said he could not set bond at such a low price, because of the circumstances surrounding the case.
Anthony, 22, told police she dropped off her daughter at a babysitter on June 9, and when she went back to get her, Caylee and the babysitter -- a woman she called Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez -- were gone.
Anthony did not report her daughter was missing until five weeks later, when her parents questioned her about the girl's wherabouts.
Casey's Family Testifies
Cindy Anthony, Casey's mother, was the first person to take the stand. She was in tears as she saw her daughter for the fist time since her arrest.
When asked the date of the last time she saw Caylee, Cindy Anthony said for a long time she was sure it was June 8, but after seeing video of Caylee reading a story book over and over again, it came to her that the video was shot on June 15.
Cindy Anthony testified that a woman named "Zani" had been babysitting Caylee for more than a year, but she had never met or talked with the woman because she never came to the house.
She also said thinks she knows why her daughter is not telling the whole truth about Caylee's disappearance.
"I know Casey as a person. I know what she is as a mother," Cindy Anthony said. "I know there is only one or two reasons why Casey would be withholding something about Caylee, and I believe that it's something someone is holding over her, and threatening her in some way."
When Casey's brother, Lee Alexander Anthony, took the stand, he said that on the night that his mother called police, he had pleaded with her not to make the call until he had the chance to talk with Casey and get her to confide in him.
Lee Anthony said that before authorities were called on July 15, Casey told him and their mother she knew where Caylee was, and would take them to her the next morning. He said he was able to get Casey alone for a short time, and she admitted to him, "I have not seen my daughter in 31 days."
During the hearing, deputies on the stand released new information, saying Casey Anthony's car was found abandoned in late June at an Amscot store on Goldenrod Road and Colonial Drive.
Investigators Reveal New Information
Detective Corp. Yuri Melich, with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, said that when they recovered the vehicle at the Anthony's residence, "there was a very bad smell in the car."
Search teams said they found what appeared to be Caylee's hair and some dirt in the back seat, along with a foul odor, but they have not been able to confirm what the smell was.
"Briefly, just before I came into the Child Abuse Division, I was a homicide detective for two years with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and in my experience, the smell that I smelled in that car was the smell of decomposition," Melich said.
Crime scene investigators are continuing to look for the source of the smell, according to Melich.
"One of the areas that they focused on now is the trunk of the car, because they found hair samples in the trunk of the car that are similar in length and color to that of Caylee," Melich said. "They also found a stain in the trunk of the car that came under blacklight that's questionable."
Melich said the Sheriff's Office received a tip from a hairdresser who said Caylee had bruises and marks on her, as well as a photo from another witness that showed a cut under Caylee's eye.
Melich also said a witness came forward who said he had heard Caylee in the background of an extensive phone call he had with Casey Anthony on June 24 or 25. The witness said at one point during the conversation, Casey told Caylee to get down from the table.
Casey Anthony has been charged with child endangerment, making false official statements and obstructing a criminal investigation -- a third-degree felony, third-degree misdemeanor and second degree misdemeanor.
Conflicting Statements
Police said Casey Anthony has been lying to them about what happened, including where she worked, and even where she dropped off her daughter.
Baez, says she has been cooperating fully with police.
However, Casey's mother has said that she thinks Casey is sending subliminal clues to Caylee's location through the statements she originally made to police.
Casey, herself, has appeared to shut down and isn't saying much to anyone except her lawyer.
Questions Left Unanswered
A number of vital questions still don't appear to have any answers.
- Why isn't Casey Anthony helping investigators find her daughter now, instead of waiting to get out of jail, especially if someone is threatening her daughter, as the grandmother is saying?
- Why did Casey Anthony wait five weeks before telling someone her daughter was missing?
- Is there really a babysitter named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez? Investigators have not found anyone with that name who knows Anthony. Police say there is no proof the person exists.
Baez said the alleged babysitter has ties to several cities outside the area, including Miami, Gainesville and Bradenton, Fla., Charlotte, N.C., and Brooklyn, N.Y.
The defense attorney would not say why those cities are pertinent to the investigation.
