Casey Anthony shares her version of events in a new docuseries. What you need to know
CNN
—
Casey Anthony is back in the national spotlight more than a decade after she was acquitted in the killing of her 2-year-old daughter.
In a new three-part docuseries streaming on Peacock titled, “Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies,” Anthony relays her version of what she says led to Caylee’s death. Anthony never testified during her trial, so this is the first time the public is hearing from her on camera, according to the series’ producers. Peacock did not respond to CNN’s request for further comment.
For three years, between the time Caylee went missing and Anthony’s acquittal, the Florida case transfixed the nation as it played out on both social media and in traditional news outlets. The prosecution sought the death penalty, saying Caylee’s death occurred during aggravated child abuse and was committed in a “cold, calculated and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification.”
After nearly six weeks of testimony, the jury rejected the prosecution’s allegation that Anthony gave her child chloroform, suffocated her with duct tape and dumped her body in the woods. They found her guilty of four lesser charges of lying to law enforcement officers.
Anthony spent about three years in jail awaiting trial, and was freed after getting credit for time spent behind bars. Outraged protesters took to the streets, calling her a “baby killer” and demanding justice for Caylee.
In the docuseries, Anthony and her defense team drop several bombshell claims in the decade-long mystery surrounding her daughter’s death. Here’s what you need to know about “Where the Truth Lies”:
Time magazine dubbed Anthony’s story the social media trial of the century in 2011. Years later, the mystery surrounding Caylee’s death is still the subject of much chatter.
In July 2008, Anthony’s mother called 911 and reported that she had not seen her granddaughter for a month. Photos of a partying, smiling Anthony, taken between when Caylee was last seen and when she was reported missing, were soon plastered across TV screens nationwide. Tabloids and social media users were fixated on the idea of a mother partying with her friends and getting a tattoo reading “Bella Vita” – Italian for “Beautiful Life” – while her daughter was missing.
In the docuseries, which has stirred up new controversy on social media, Anthony says that period was “the antithesis of what my life really was.”
She has since covered up the tattoo with flowers she described as a symbol of growth and rebirth.
“That was my whole life up to that point, acting like everything’s okay, but knowing nothing was okay,” she says.
At the beginning of the documentary, Anthony talks about why she decided to speak out after years of silence.
“I spent the last 10 years making sure that I knew who I was, that I started to cope with this loss and that I had something to say to make my daughter proud, but also to honor her properly,” she says. “And this is part of that.”
Anthony and her defense team admitted she lied many times. After Caylee went missing, she lied that she worked at Universal Studios. In another lie, she said that a nanny named Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzalez stole her child. She admits in the docuseries that the story was made up and the only other person who took care of Caylee besides her was her mother.
In the docuseries, she also discloses that she lied to an ex-boyfriend that he was Caylee’s father because she was too ashamed to admit that she was raped at a party and didn’t know who the father was. A paternity test revealed he was not.
“I’m a convicted liar,” she says. “I lied to everyone… it was years of trying to show everyone I lived a certain life because I didn’t want people to pity me,” she says. “No lie was out of bounds, no lie was out of limit.”
For months, Anthony and her parents maintained that Caylee was alive.
During the trial, the defense said the child drowned in the Anthony family pool on June 16, 2008, and that Anthony and her father covered up the death. In the docuseries, Anthony provides a conflicting theory that solely blames her father.
She also reiterates her allegations that her father sexually abused her as a child – claims he denied during the trial along with any involvement in Caylee’s death. In the docuseries, Peacock says George Anthony turned down an offer to appear in the show. CNN has reached out to the elder Anthony.
Anthony now works with one of the lead investigators in her defense team, Patrick McKenna, who runs a private investigations firm. In the documentary, McKenna says he believes she’s innocent. Anthony lived with his family for a while after the trial ended due to fears for her security, McKenna says, adding that she’s like a daughter to him.
Anthony admits she still has no answers.
“It’s hard because a thousand questions go through my head. I’m responsible for answering every one of the world’s questions about her, about what happened,” Anthony says. “I still don’t know what happened to Caylee. I know what I’m afraid of. I know what eats at me at night.”
Body Language Experts Break Down Casey Anthony’s Behavior in New Peacock Docu-Series ‘Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies’
Eleven years after the monumental Florida vs. Casey Anthony trial captivated the world, Casey Anthony, the woman accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony, speaks out for the first time after her acquittal. Casey teams up with producers Tamra Simmons and Ebony Porter-Ike, to speak out for the first time in Peacock‘s new true-crime documentary series Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies.
Casey isn’t known for being truthful, as she admitted to lying to investigators while they were trying to track down Caylee. So naturally, audiences are skeptical of her stories. Here’s what the body language experts had to say about Casey’s testimony.
Casey Anthony’s bombshell allegations
In the new Peacock docuseries, Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies, Casey finally reveals her version of the last time she saw her daughter, Caylee. She claims that after going to lie down with Caylee one morning, she woke to her father, George Anthony, shaking her and asking her where she went. After searching the house, Casey alleges that her father found her 2-year-old daughter “soaking wet” and lifeless in his arms.
Casey then alleges that her father held Caylee hostage for the 31 days she was supposedly missing and told her that her daughter was alive. She claims that her father told her what to do, how to act, and what to say, and he would keep Caylee safe.
Casey’s story doesn’t match her defense team’s winning story about Caylee falling in the pool and drowning. How truthful is Casey in this documentary? Three body language experts reveal why so many viewers don’t believe Casey’s story.
Casey Anthony’s facial expressions show she’s being ‘deceptive’
Jury consultant on the trial and human behavior expert Susan Constantine breaks down Casey’s facial expressions during her testimony.
“There is an enormous amount of anger, scorn, contempt. Disgust was the big one,” Constantine says to CourtTV. “When you see the nose crunching up like that. That triad of emotion is often linked to deception.” Check out the full video below:
Statement analysis expert Lutenent Robert Schaffer analyses the words Casey chose for her statement on the Peacock series. He explains that how a person puts together a story tells a lot about whether they’re being truthful or deceptive.
Schaffer noticed that in the story Casey gives, she’s focusing on her emotions rather than providing a factual account of the events.
Voice stress analysis expert Jerry Karate ran Casey’s testimony through the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer program (also used in the U.S. military) picks up on voice stress caused by “conflict in the brain,” which happens when people are lying.
According to the Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) of Casey’s story, there was conflict “through most of her testimony she gave during her documentary.”
In conclusion, based on the expert’s analysis of Casey’s facial expressions, word choice, and voice stress, she was being deceptive in her documentary. They believed around 70% to 80% of what she said was a lie.
It seems the Peacock true crime documentary only brought more questions than answers.

RELATED: 3 Bombshell Allegations From Casey Anthony During New Peacock Docu-Series ‘Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies’
Casey Anthony makes bombshell claims about daughter’s death in new Peacock docuseries
It’s been more than a decade since Casey Anthony’s name dominated headlines around the country. Now, she is finally speaking out in her first on-camera interview since she was famously acquitted in 2011 of charges of murder, manslaughter and child abuse following the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
“Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies,” a three-part limited docuseries, premiered Nov. 29 on Peacock. Peacock is owned by NBCUniversal, the parent company of NBC News.
In the series, Anthony maintains some of the same claims her legal team made in her defense all those years ago — including that she was sexually abused by her father, George Anthony, and that he lied to cover up Caylee’s death. George Anthony previously denied both of those claims in court.
Caylee was last seen on June 16, 2008, investigators have said. Cindy Anthony, Caylee’s grandmother, reported the child missing on July 15, 2008 — 31 days later. The next day, police arrested Casey Anthony on child neglect charges. At the time, she told investigators the toddler had been taken by a babysitter.
Six months later, Caylee’s skeletal remains were found less than a mile away from her grandparents’ Orlando home.
In her bombshell interview with Alexandra Dean, showrunner and director, Casey Anthony makes several other revelations.
She lied to investigators
Anthony was eventually convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators who were looking into her child’s 2008 disappearance.
She incorrectly told investigators her daughter had disappeared with a babysitter, whom she later said did not exist, and said that she worked at Universal Studios in Orlando when she did not.
“It was the right guilty verdict. I did lie to law enforcement, I admitted that I lied to law enforcement, so I am a convicted liar. It’s the truth,” she said in the new series.
In an attempt to explain why she had lied, Anthony said it stemmed from being abused as a child and still following her father’s instructions — even after seeing her daughter’s limp body.
“I lied to everyone because that was my whole life up until that point,” she said in the series. “Acting like everything’s OK but knowing nothing was OK. I’ve had years of therapy and I’m trying to analyze my own behavior and explain my own behavior, all of this is a reaction of trauma.”
“I made myself look crazy. And gave law enforcement absolutely no reason to believe or trust anything that I said,” she continued.
“I get why from an outside perspective all of this seems so …” she trailed off. “Because even for me, it still feels that way. As far as I am concerned, there’s no justifying my actions or behavior, except to say that I was doing what I was conditioned to do.”
She alleges she was abused by her father
In the documentary, Anthony reiterated her previous allegations that her father abused her between the ages of 8 and 12, which her father denied.
“When I was 8 years old, my father started to come into my room at night,” she said. “I was physically hurt, scared because I was physically hurt and I ‘can’t tell mommy what happened (or) she’ll get mad at me.’ That’s what I was told.”
George Anthony declined to be interviewed for the Peacock series. He did not respond to multiple requests for comment by TODAY.com.
She alleges Caylee was a product of rape when she was 18
In the documentary, Anthony said her family also asked her to hide that she was pregnant at the age of 18.
She said she was raped at a house party after being drugged.
“(I) had a couple beers, completely lost my memory because I was drugged,” she said. “I woke up with my top on, my jeans on the floor with my underwear, and my bra still inside of my shirt but up over my breasts.”
She added she was “lethargic” and “extremely disoriented” from the drugs and “could feel like (she’d) had forcible sex.”
She said she initially claimed the baby was her ex-boyfriend’s but he eventually got a paternity test and discovered he wasn’t the father.
“I lied to everyone,” she said. “That’s what i’m saying, it’s so f—-d up, it’s just years of feeling like I needed to live a certain life or show people I lived a certain life, because I didn’t want people to pity me and I didn’t want my kid to grow up thinking she was the product of something so bad and that I didn’t want her.”
What she remembers about that fateful morning: ‘It’s not much’
Anthony recounted the morning her daughter likely died for the cameras. She said that morning she woke up to make her daughter breakfast but “wasn’t feeling that great.” She went back to bed, turned on the TV and Caylee laid in bed with her.
“I’ve been a light sleeper my entire life,” she said in the documentary. “Because I’m used to someone opening the door while I’m asleep. I am used to being on alert, especially with my child next to me. It’s part of the reason she slept in bed with me so much.”
She said she knew her dad was home but she fell asleep and “was asleep for a while.”
The next thing she remembers, she said, is her father shaking her, asking where Caylee was. She said it “didn’t make sense” to her because she thought her toddler had been next to her in the bed.
Anthony added that her daughter “would never even leave my room without telling me, even if she had to go to the bathroom.”
“She knew she wasn’t allowed to just be in the house by herself,” she said.
Anthony said she started searching around the house and then in the yard for her daughter. By the time she came back from searching outside around the house, she said, her dad was “standing there with her.”
“She’s soaking wet,” she said, tearfully. “I can see him standing there with her in his arms and handing her to me and telling me that it’s my fault. That I did that. That I caused that.”
She said she “collapsed” with Caylee’s body in her arms, which felt “heavy” and “cold.”
Instead of calling 911 or trying to revive Caylee, Anthony said her father took Caylee and told her it was “going to be OK.”
“I don’t know how long I sat outside, I don’t know where he went, he took her from me and he went away,” she said. “I don’t know where he went and I don’t know what he did.”
Why she didn’t call 911
Anthony said she understands people will question why she didn’t call 911 or waited to tell her mom.
“I know people are going to question why didn’t I make a phone call, why didn’t I call 911, why did even I wait to tell my mom anything, but I didn’t tell her anything, why lie?” she said. “Knowing that I failed to protect my child and I kept failing her even after that. I failed her again and again and again. Because I still protected the person who hurt me.
“It was like I was brainwashed. And it wasn’t until much later that I started to really realize why,” she said. “It’s like I had Stockholm syndrome.”
Anthony believed her daughter was OK until her body was found
“During the 31 days, I genuinely believed that Caylee was still alive. My father kept telling me that Caylee was still OK,” she recounted in the new docuseries. “There were no threats, I just knew that I had to do what he wanted me to, the same reason I knew that since the time I was 8 years old. Just do what he wants, it worked before, do it now. I did what I needed to do to survive.”
She added that her father would tell her Caylee was “fine” and to just “keep doing what I’m telling you to do … You guys will be reunited soon. That’s what sticks with me — he told me at one point we would be reunited soon.”
Anthony said that she was “conditioned” by her father and wanted to believe her daughter was alive.
“I really wanted to believe him, and maybe that’s the disassociation. Maybe that’s trying to protect myself from the pain of having known deep down, all along, that something happened and I didn’t want to confront it,” she said. “I wish it were a simple answer and a simple explanation but nothing about trauma or abuse is ever simple because you’re just trying to survive.
“That whole time he told me she was going to be OK. It’s what I chose to accept, because there was that little girl inside of me that wanted to believe he wouldn’t hurt her the way he hurt me.”
Anthony says she still doesn’t know ‘what the truth is’
Anthony never outright said in the new Peacock series what she thinks happened that morning and directly says that she doesn’t “know what the truth is.”
“It’s why all of this is so hard. I live with that guilt of feeling like I failed her and didn’t keep her safe and protect her. I’ve always wanted the truth because I’ve lived so long without it,” she said. “But I don’t know if I can handle all of it. I don’t know if it would be better to know or just keep not knowing. Because I don’t know what the truth is. All I know is that something happened.”
What’s next?
In the years since her trial, Anthony has been working for her defense lawyer, Pat McKenna. She also said in the docuseries that she lived at his home with his family following her trial as she got back on her feet.
She said she will always wonder what could have been if she handled her daughter’s death differently.
“It’s a hard thing to live with everyday, because nothing’s going to bring her back,” she said, emotional. “Even if I someday get the answers that I need, it’s never going to be enough. It’s never going to be enough.”

Bachelor in Paradise’s Casey Says He Hasn’t Walked in 4 Months
When paradise becomes a nightmare.
Four months after Bachelor in Paradise star Casey Woods left the show’s eighth season due to a medical injury, the 37-year-old delivered a disappointing follow-up. In an Instagram Story posted Oct 17. episode, Casey described himself as “one sad guy” and revealed that he still has three broken bones and had three operations.
In a separate post, he added, “Just to be clear, this is my foot in a cast right now. Tonight. I haven’t walked in over 4 months.”
While Casey—who first appeared on Michelle Young‘s season of The Bachelorette—continues to recover from his injury, he’s keeping up a good attitude.
“Went into Paradise at my physical, mental, and spiritual best… left with 3 broken bones… haven’t walked in over 4 months, but trying to remain positive,” he wrote on Instagram Oct. 19. “Thank you to everyone sending sweet messages… it means the world.”
Casey Affleck misses Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s wedding
Casey Affleck did not attend older brother Ben Affleck’s star-studded wedding to Jennifer Lopez this past weekend in Riceboro, Georgia.
The brother of the groom, 47, was spotted in LA on several occasions just hours before Ben’s big day.
In video obtained by Page Six, Affleck was spotted in Los Angeles Saturday morning and was asked why he wasn’t already at the three-day extravaganza.
Through a mumble, the Academy Award-winner said, “I have other things.”
However, a source close to Affleck says that “unfortunately because of family, parental obligations at home,” he will be absent from the big bash, according to People.
Affleck has two sons, Indiana, 18 and Atticus, 14 with ex-wife Summer Phoenix.
While Affleck was not in attendance, Ben did have familial support at his wedding to Lopez.
The matriarch of the family, Christopher Anne Boldt, was at the festivities, but not before dealing with an alleged health scare.
The Daily Mail reports that Boldt suffered cuts and was taken to the hospital after falling off a deck.
Ben’s three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner were also in attendance.
Fox News Digital has requested a comment from Affleck’s representative.
Casey Affleck likely not attending Ben, Jennifer Lopez wedding
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s southern wedding will likely be missing one important guest — the groom’s brother.
Casey Affleck was spotted on a Starbucks run in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, just hours before big brother Ben was set to wed Jennifer Lopez in Georgia.
Paparazzi seemed surprised to see the younger Affleck on a java jaunt and one even queried, “Why aren’t you in Georgia right now, man??”
A clearly uncomfortable Casey, 47, mumbled an unintelligible response that sounded like he said, “I have other things,” before driving away.
It’s the second time the “Ocean’s Eleven” actor has been snapped going on an LA coffee run this week. He and girlfriend Caylee Cowan were photographed picking up coffee and doughnuts’ on Thursday, one day before the wedding festivities began.
The famous brothers have always had a supportive relationship, both personally and professionally.
In 2007, Casey starred in the film “Gone Baby Gone,” which was directed by Ben, now 50. More than a decade later, he praised a “brave” Ben for checking himself into rehab.
While it is not immediately clear if Casey will manage to fly across the country in time for the pair’s second set of vows, many other family members and friends arrived in Savannah in plenty of time.
Ben’s longtime pal and “Good Will Hunting” collaborator, Matt Damon, and his wife, Luciana Barroso, landed in Georgia on Friday. In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, paparazzi caught the couple getting off a private jet at an airfield near Ben’s luxurious estate.
Earlier that day, Casey and Ben’s mother, Christopher Anne Boldt, was rushed to the hospital following a fall from a dock on the property.
The “Gone Girl” star’s children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, as well as Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, were also spotted in the Peach State earlier this week.
Preparations for the three-day event have been underway since Thursday, and Ben is doing his best to keep things under wraps.
Bennifer fans also love…
The “Batman” star secured a permit that deemed his property a no-fly zone for low-flying aircrafts such as drones and helicopters during the big bash. The permit covers all areas within a three-mile radius of the property, which sits on 87 acres of land.
A police car is stationed outside of the estate’s entrance, and security boats are guarding the surrounding water. All guests must also show IDs and obtain a wristband before entering.
Saturday’s nuptials will be the second wedding for Ben and Lopez, 53, who tied the knot in a quickie Las Vegas ceremony last month.
They had previously been engaged in 2002, but split two years later before making it down the aisle.
Ben and Lopez were last linked to actress Ana de Armas and Alex Rodriguez, respectively, before they got back together in April 2021.
