Additional Information

ORLANDO -- About 200 volunteers spent their Labor Day holiday searching for Caylee.

However, the group Texas EquuSearch, which is conducting the search, said it’s not enough.

Missing child searches usually bring out anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 volunteers. They said it's possible that people who have been following this case closely may be hesitant to turn out to help.

"I think the community is soured on the family, but one thing I'd like to remind them this is a search effort. This is not an investigation," said Mandy Albritton, the deputy director of Texas EquuSearch.

The group said they plan to stay with this case until Caylee is found.

Family Protests On Doorstep Of Caylee's Grandparents

A family of protesters made its way to the home of the grandparents of Caylee Anthony Monday morning.

Ericka Courtney, her husband and their three children showed up at the Anthonys' home with signs to protest what they called a lack of support for the missing 3-year-old.

Courtney and her family even started banging on the front door, demanding to speak with George or Cindy Anthony.

Orange County Sheriff's deputies eventually arrived and cited Courtney for trespassing.

"Why I'm here today is to say what happened to Caylee is wrong, and there should be more people standing in support to figure out where the child is," a tearful Courtney told News 13. "Don't support this family; don't support George and Cindy. Support Caylee, and find out where she is."

Courtney told News 13 the case of Caylee Anthony hit home with her family, because she lost a daughter years ago.

As for the search for Caylee, deputies confirmed Sunday that hair found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car belonged to Caylee. See previous story.

Lawyer Comments On Test Results

Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, spoke out Monday about the test results from the trunk of his client's car.

"You have to wonder about the reliability and accuracy of any test, when law enforcement feels the need to leak it to the media," Baez said in a statement released Monday. "I won't comment on the specifics of any report I have not had the opportunity to review or have challenged by independent experts."
