28. Casey Anthony

When we heard the news that Peacock would be releasing a 3 part series, "Where the Truth Lies", where Casey Anthony would be telling her “truth”, we knew it would be important to provide context that most likely wouldn’t be included in her retelling. Caylee Anthony was last seen on the morning of June 16, 2008. Casey told her parents (who she was living with) that she’d be leaving Caylee with her nanny, Zanny, while she worked. But 30 days would pass and Casey refused to bring Caylee home. She provided excuse after excuse as to why she couldn’t come home with Caylee. Work travel, a wedding, car trouble, etc. When Casey’s parents George and Cindy are notified that their daughter’s car was impounded, they rush to the tow yard to pick it up only to discover that it smells like a dead body had been in the trunk. Cindy (Casey’s mother) had reached her limit. She tracked Casey down and demanded answers. Casey spins a tale that Caylee had been kidnapped by Zanny the nanny 30 days prior. Police get involved and discover there is no nanny. They are taken down a rabbit hole of lies, but soon discover the truth. Casey had been out partying for the last month. Casey Anthony was accused of murdering her child but a jury would acquit her of all charges - shocking the nation. What happened to Caylee? The answers lie with Casey, but with her track record, we’ll forever be left wondering.
