TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A bankruptcy hearing is scheduled in Tampa for Casey Anthony, the central Florida woman who was acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter.

 

      Wednesday's hearing comes a day after the trustee overseeing Anthony's bankruptcy withdrew a motion asking that she be allowed to sell the rights to her story.  Anthony filed for bankruptcy in January, claiming just $1,000 in assets and $792,000 in liabilities.

 

      Meanwhile, a Texas search and rescue organization involved in the search for 2-year-old Caylee Anthony says Casey Anthony owes it more than $100,000 in expenses.

 

      Attorneys for Texas Equusearch Mounted Search and Recovery say in federal bankruptcy court documents that Anthony knew her daughter was already dead when the search began in 2008.

 

      Equusearch says Anthony should not be discharged from the $100,000 debt.
