Casey Anthonys parents take lie detector test about granddaughters death

July 2024 · 3 minute read

Casey Anthony’s damning portrayal of her parents is being put to the test.

The notorious Floridian once dubbed the “most hated mom in America” suggested in a 2022 documentary her mother and father were involved in the 2008 death of her daughter Caylee, whom she was put on trial but acquitted of murdering.

Hoping to clear the thick cloud of suspicion around them, George and Cindy Anthony have now took a lie detector test for a new A&E program set to air on Thursday.

The show tapped a retired FBI agent to pose a series of sensitive questions around the mystifying case.

“Did you ever have sexual contact with Casey?” George is asked at one point.

“Did you knowingly conceal Caylee’s whereabouts?” he’s quizzed later.

A trailer for the program shows the grim-faced father enveloped with wires as he fields the queries.

Casey accused her father of repeatedly molesting her as a child in the 2022 documentary and at her trial.

“It all comes back to my dad,” she told Peacock.

“I know what he did to me — and that was my fear. I had one job — to keep her safe,” she said of her daughter. “I failed her again and again and again, because I still protected the person who hurt me.”

Tracked down to an Orlando mall soon after the documentary aired ex-cop George ducked questions from a pursuing reporter, but has previously denied all of his daughter’s allegations.

A&E did not hint at the polygraph results ahead of the airing.

Casey Anthony vaulted to global infamy in 2008 after being suspected of harming Caylee after she went missing.

Anthony told disbelieving investigators she hadn’t seen her child for a month and laid blame on a fictional nanny for Caylee’s disappearance.

The tot’s body was finally found in a wooded area not far from her home and Anthony was charged with murder.

Prosecutors argued at trial Casey had killed Caylee by incapacitating her with chloroform and then duct-taping her mouth and nose to suffocate her.

Her high-powered attorney, Jose Baez, asserted Casey had found Caylee accidentally drowned in the family pool and disposed of her body out of panic.

In a shock verdict that outraged many observers, Anthony was acquitted after a 2011 trial that drew 40 million viewers from around the world.

Anthony has been approached to take a televised lie detector test by several networks, but has refused to do so, according to The Messenger.

Casey “doesn’t give a s–t” about her parents’ willingness to take the polygraph.

“She says she knows the truth, and so do her parents,” the source told the outlet. “A polygraph won’t change the truth.”

Anthony was released from prison in 2011 and lives in South Florida.
