Shirley Mason, wife of Casey Anthony attorney Cheney Mason, told authorities that their family has received numerous harassing phone calls and that their home number was posted on Facebook.

Shirley Mason told the emergency operator "I'm just getting a lot of threatening phone calls at my home...I'm trying to get the telephone company to cooperate and put a drop trace on my line...They don't want to do that..I hate to call you...I would just like an officer to respond so I can get something done tonight," according to RadarOnline.

The callers have left voice mails stating that Anthony "can run but she can't hide" and warner that Mason and attorney Jose Baez "better sleep with one eye open," Mason says.

On July 5, 25-year-old Anthony was found not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. She left the Orange County Jail early Sunday with Baez and has not been seen in public since.
