Caylee Anthony Vanished: The Disturbing Lies Her Mother Told Pt. 1
5/26/202630 min
In the summer of 2008, two-year-old Caylee Anthony vanished, and her mother Casey didn't report her missing for thirty-one days. In that time, she got a tattoo, went to nightclubs, and stayed at her boyfriend's apartment. When Casey's car turned up at a tow yard, a former police officer recognized the smell coming from the trunk. He was Caylee's grandfather. He said nothing. In the first of three episodes on the death of Caylee Anthony, Katie Ring traces the Anthony family, the tensions that had been building for years, and the elaborate web of lies that unraveled the moment investigators started pulling at the threads. This episode contains descriptions of child death and references to allegations of abuse. Please listen with care.

What followed was a cascade of lies so elaborate, so brazen, and so relentless that investigators could barely keep up. A fictional nanny, a fake job, a mother who spent the weeks her daughter was missing getting tattoos, going to nightclubs, and sleeping at her boyfriend's apartment. This case didn't just grip the nation, it forced America to ask an uncomfortable question: What kind of mother doesn't report her own child missing for 31 days?
