ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 21 (UPI) -- The mother of missing Florida toddler Caylee Anthony was released from jail Thursday under electronic monitoring as the hunt for her daughter continued.

Casey Anthony, 22, was visibly shaken and had a blank look on her face as dozens of media crews swarmed around her, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

She faces a felony charge of child neglect and a misdemeanor charge of filing a false report. She had been at the Orange County Jail for more than a month before her $500,200 bail was posted.

Three-year-old Caylee was reported missing July 15, more than a month after she had actually disappeared, Casey Anthony told police. Investigators have accused her of misleading them and being uncooperative.

"She is going to help find Caylee," said Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez. "There are certain things that the police haven't pursued. We're going to pursue that."
