Earlier in the evening, Cindy Anthony came outside to talk to a woman who was chanting, "Casey Anthony is a murderer!" She invited the woman, who identified herself as Kittie Gonzalez, to come inside to talk, but Gonzalez refused.
Gonzalez asked Cindy Anthony if she had asked her daughter where Caylee is.
For The Record

Missing Florida girl: An article in Saturday's Section A about Caylee Anthony, a 3-year-old who has been missing since mid-June, said it was from the South Florida Sentinel. The article, reported by Sarah Lundy and Amy L. Edwards, was from the Orlando Sentinel.
"Yes, and she doesn't know," Cindy Anthony replied.
The allegations of stealing checks were first mentioned when Anthony was arrested July 16 on charges of child neglect and filing a false statement to authorities.
Her friend, Amy Huizenga, 24, filed the complaint with Orlando police after she found checks missing from her car, which she had lent to Anthony.
Detectives say Anthony stole checks and cashed five of them -- three for purchases at Target, one for groceries and one for $250 in cash.
She was being held Friday night on charges of uttering a forged instrument, fraudulent use of personal information and petty theft. Bail was set at $3,000.
Orange County Sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said there was no significance to the timing of the fraud charges. Detectives simply finished investigating the case, he said.
The toddler was last seen in mid-June and was reported missing to authorities July 15. This week, air-sample tests from Casey Anthony's car showed that the trunk once held a decomposing human body. DNA samples were taken and sent to FBI forensic labs. The results have not been made public.
Nieves would not say Friday night whether the evidence in the trunk had been linked to Caylee.
This capped a day that started out with Casey Anthony receiving good news. A bounty hunter who had helped secure her release decided he would not withdraw her bond, a move he had been considering the day before.
