A claim by a former inmate that the mother of a missing Orlando girl told him her daughter is with an ex-boyfriend can't be verified and is possibly not credible.

Travis Nichols, 20, came forward with the information Wednesday in the latest in a series of bizarre events surrounding the case of missing Caylee Anthony.

Nichols said he was near Casey Anthony, 22, in a jail holding cell Tuesday when she talked with him about Caylee's whereabouts.

"I asked her through a holding cell, 'What'd you do with your baby?'" Nichols said. "She said, 'I didn't do nothing. My ex-boyfriend has her.'"

After an investigation, Nichol's story could not be verified and the sheriff's office is discounting the story.

Nichols was in jail on burglary and grand theft charges.

Club Photos Surface

Meanwhile, photos have surfaced showing Casey Anthony smiling with friends at an Orlando lounge apparently five days after the child was last seen by her grandmother.

A photographer snapped the photos showing Casey Anthony at the Fusian Lounge in Orlando on June 20 -- which is five days after missing Caylee Anthony was last seen by her grandmother.

"She was not partying any harder or less than anybody else would but she was at the medium," John Azzilona said. "She didn't seem belligerently drunk or anything like that, she was just out."

Also, about four days after the photos were taken, one of Anthony's friends said he heard Caylee in the background of a phone call.

A national search continues for the missing girl.

Court To Rule On Bond

Also, the Anthony family has not been able to raise a $500,000 bond for Casey's release so attorney Jose Baez has asked the court to reduce the dollar figure.

The state is stressing that Anthony is a person of interest in a homicide investigation and she should remain behind bars.

The attorney general's response was entered into records Wednesday morning, saying Anthony should remain incarcerated because she holds the key to finding her daughter.

In a motion, they reiterate that the case is bizarre and Anthony's mental state is difficult to describe, Local 6's Tarik Minor said.

Anthony's mental health evaluation was delivered to the Fifth District Court of Appeals Wednesday.

A judge could rule Wednesday night.

Attorney: 'If She's Guilty, Prove it'

Meanwhile, Baez and his new co-councel Mike Walsh spent almost two hours inside the jail Tuesday, after they lost a court battle to stop the flow of jail correspondence to the media.

However, an appeals court is expected to consider lowering Anthony's bail Wednesday.

"We're actually pinning our hopes on this and hoping to get her out," Baez said. "She's doing her best to get through this extremely stressful time."

Baez and Walsh gave interviews on the national media circuit Tuesday night.

"The worry and angst is clearly visible on her face and her body language," Walsh said. "She does her best to put on a poker face kind of smile and act like things are not bothering her. But that is just a nervous smile."
