Thousands of people are expected to volunteer with Texas EquuSearch today as the search for Caylee Marie Anthony, the Orange County girl whose disappearance has captured hearts and made national news.

Caylee’s mother, Casey Anthony, 22, was charged with first-degree murder last month in her 2-year-old daughter’s disappearance. She also faces charges of aggravated child abuse, aggravated manslaughter of a child and four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
