A decade after being acquitted of the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Casey Anthony tells her story in a new Peacock documentary, Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.

   According to Biography, on July 15, 2008, Anthony’s daughter, Caylee, was reported missing by her grandmother, Cindy. Cindy called 911 and stated that she had not seen Caylee for 31 days and that Anthony’s car smelled like a dead body had been inside it. Cindy said Anthony had given varied explanations as to Caylee’s whereabouts before she finally told her that she had not seen Caylee for weeks. Anthony lied to detectives and told them Caylee had been kidnapped by a nanny on June 9. She also claimed that she tried to find her, and was too frightened to alert the authorities. 

   Caylee was videotaped at an assisted living facility with Cindy that morning when she visited her father. Cindy swims with Caylee in the Anthonys’ pool later that day, afterwards, she removes the ladder and closes the gate. Caylee was last seen alive at the Anthony family residence. According to the defense, Caylee drowned in the family’s above-ground swimming pool sometime that day and both Casey and George Anthony panicked when they found the body and decided to cover up her death. On Youtube, in Anthony’s recorded statement she gave this timeline:

• 7:00 a.m. Cindy Anthony testified that she left for work a few minutes before 7:00 a.m. while everyone in the home was still asleep
• 7:52 a.m. Activity from Casey Anthony’s password-protected account on MySpace and research for “shot girls” costumes for Tony Lazarro’s nightclub events.
• 7:56 a.m. Casey’s AIM account was used to chat on the computer.
• 12:50 p.m. According to George Anthony, Caylee departed with Casey by car around 12:50 p.m. with backpacks on their shoulders. (Note: Although George testified that Casey and Caylee left the house at 12:50, there is further computer activity on the home computer associated with Casey’s account and her cell phone pings do not leave the area of the Anthony family home until 4:11 pm.)
• 1:39 p.m. Activity associated with Casey’s AIM, MySpace, and Facebook accounts at 1:39 p.m. on the home computer. The last browser activity during that session is at 1:42 p.m.
• 2:30 p.m. George Anthony testified that he left the home at this time to go to work.
• 2:49 p.m. Casey Anthony’s cell phone connects with a tower nearest to the home, and the Anthony family’s desktop computer is activated by someone using a password-protected account Casey Anthony used
• 2:51 p.m. A Google search is made for the term “fool-proof suffocation,” misspelling the last word as “suffocation”. The user clicks on an article criticizing pro-suicide websites that promote “foolproof” ways to die
• 2:52 p.m. Activity on MySpace
• 2:52 p.m. Casey answers a phone call from Jesse Grund. He describes this conversation as “abnormal”, where Casey stated to him that her parents were divorcing and she had to find a new place to live
• 3:04 p.m. Casey disconnected the phone call from Jesse Grund to take an incoming call from George Anthony. According to the defense, the 26-second call from her father took place as soon as he got to work to tell her “I took care of everything,” telling her he disposed of the body and warning her not to tell her mother about the child’s death.
• 3:34 p.m. Casey made a phone call to her boyfriend, Tony Lazarro. Unanswered.
• Between 4:10 and 4:14 p.m. Casey made six unanswered phone calls to her mother.
• 4:11 p.m. Casey’s cell phone pings indicate it was at or near the house until she headed toward Lazzaro’s apartment at 4:11 p.m.
• 7:54 p.m. She and Lazzaro are seen entering and walking around casually at a Blockbuster video store. Caylee is not with them.

   On July 16, police investigators discovered Casey Anthony had lied about her place of employment and where she said her nanny lives. As a result, Anthony is arrested and charged with child neglect, the creation of false official statements, and the obstruction of an investigation. According to Crime Museum, Anthony’s trial did not start until May 24, 2011. 

   Throughout the trial, the prosecution sought the death penalty and alleged Casey wished to free herself from parental responsibilities and murdered her daughter by administration of chloroform and application of duct tape to her nose and mouth. According to CNN, after a six-week trial and a ten-hour and forty-minute deliberation, Anthony was acquitted of most charges. She was found not guilty on one count of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated manslaughter of a child, and one count of child abuse. Anthony provided false information to law enforcement which resulted in four counts of misinformation.   According to the Peacock documentary, as of today, Anthony works as a legal assistant for Patrick Mckenna, the lead investigator for the defense during her trial. Anthony has stated that she will never have another child because she feared they would be bullied or teased.
