U.S. Rep. Seeks Money In Caylee's Name

Casey Anthony Charged With Murder In Daughter's Death

A U.S. representative is seeking funds in the memory of Caylee Anthony that would go toward a missing-child program.

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson has asked for $500,000 from Congress that would go to the Fort Lauderdale-based organization "A Child Is Missing," which helps people nationwide.

The only requirement for Grayson's request is that the money would be spend in the 8th District, which includes Orange, Lake and Marion counties. The money could be used to open a branch named after Caylee in Central Florida.

Grayson has not spoken to Caylee's family about the federal funding request.

Caylee's remains were discovered in December in a wooded lot near the Anthony family home in east Orange County. Caylee was 2 years old when she was reported missing in July, about a month after she was last seen alive.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, 23, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in her daughter's death.
