Additional Information

ORLANDO -- Hundreds gathered in the rain Sunday to pray for the safe return of missing Caylee Anthony, 2. 

More than 200 people packed the Anthony family's home on Hopespring Drive. Some came from as far away as Starke to show their support.

The toddler hasn't been seen in more than a month.

Despite all the controversy surrounding the little girl’s mother, Casey, who is in jail, supporters said their focus remains on finding the little girl and bringing her home safe.

"We just want to be here to support the family and help them any way we can,” said Shane Stutzman from the East Side Baptist Church. “We want to pray with them and encourage them and wrap our arms around them and tell them we love them, and whatever we can do to help, that's what we're here for."

"You guys are all our family,” said Cindy Anthony, Caylee’s grandmother. “Our lives will never be the same, and I want you guys to hold on to your precious children. Keep them close, and when you pass a child, you look at them and you look at every child and make sure they belong with the people they're with, because there's a lot of missing children out there, not just my Caylee."

The family said it will hold a vigil every week until Caylee is home.

Baez: No Meeting Scheduled With Investigators

Meanwhile, Casey Anthony's attorney said despite reports from the family, they don't have a meeting set in stone Monday with investigators.

Jose Baez did meet with investigators on Friday, but without Casey. Details on exactly what was discussed were not released.

Baez's office said a meeting is possible, but at this point, one has not been set up.

Casey remains locked up on a $500,000 bond. Her family hasn't been able to come up with the money to free her. However, another hearing is planned for Wednesday to try and get that reduced.

On Sunday, deputies said they had nothing new on the case to release.

Casey has reportedly said she wants to talk to the FBI because she doesn't trust the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

Caylee Featured On I-4 Billboard

A new billboard displaying information relating to the Caylee Anthony case was posted along Interstate 4 near Kirkman Road.

The billboard shows the missing girl's picture and contact information the public can use if they have any helpful tips in the case.

A reward of $225,000 is being offered for Caylee's safe return. It's an increase of $100,000 since the reward was first offered.

Deputies continue to ask anyone with information about the case to contact them or CrimeLine.
