Casey Anthony, who was ranked the most hated American after she was acquitted of the disappearance and death of her little girl, will be freed on Friday after completing her probation for check fraud.
But according to the Miami Herald, details of where she will released are being kept secret due to security concerns.
The 26-year-old Anthony has received several death threats, it said.
The one-year probation was ordered after Anthony admitted in 2010 to making purchases using her friend's checks, a crime uncovered during the investigation into Caylee's death.
"As of Friday, Aug. 24 at 12 a.m., nobody will be able to tell her where to be," Anthony's attorney Charles Greene told ABCNews.com.
"She's complied with all the terms of her probation and she's looking forward to having her freedom to move forward because, even though she's been out of jail for the last year, she's essentially still been in prison by the requirement that she remains in one location," Greene said.
Reuters reported the Florida mother caused outrage last summer when she was acquitted of killing her daughter Caylee Anthony.
The two-year-old's body was found five months after she went missing in woods near the Anthony family's Orlando-area home.
At her trial, Anthony's lawyers claimed Caylee accidentally drowned in the family's backyard pool
