CLAWSON, Mich. -- As a court battle continues in Florida for Casey Anthony, the mother behind bars accused of killing her daughter, a local woman has sent money to Anthony's personal jail fund.
According to jail records obtained by Local 4, Clawson resident Mandie Ryan sent Anthony a $20 money order. The documents show Anthony received it Dec. 13 when it was put into her personal jail fund, used to buy toiletries, cigarettes or snacks.
According to the log, the only regular contributor to the fund is George Anthony, her father.
Local 4 went to the address that Ryan listed on her money order and found out that Ryan doesn't live there. The woman who does told Local 4 she's given Ryan permission to use her address occasionally and that Ryan doesn't currently live in Clawson.
Ryan returned a phone call from Local 4 and said she doesn't know who Anthony is but has a friend in Orlando to whom she owed money. Ryan said her friend told her to not pay her back but instead send money to her friend who was in jail -- Anthony.
Ryan said she followed directions without knowing the Anthony is accused of killing her daughter.
Anthony's attorneys were back in court Tuesday fighting for evidence in the case to be turned over to them for review.
The evidence relates to bones of a toddler that were found last week in an area not far from Anthony's parents' home. There is speculation that they could be the remains of the missing toddler, Caylee, but DNA tests have not confirmed any identification.
