Caylee Marie Anthony
August 9, 2005 - June or July 2008
Caylee Marie Anthony was born on August 9, 2005. Her mother was Casey
Anthony, and it is unknown who her father was. Caylee's grandparents
were George and Cindy Anthony. When Casey became pregnant with Caylee,
she wanted to give Caylee up for adoption. One of Casey's highschool
friends even said that she wanted to adopt Caylee. However, Casey's
mother, Cindy Anthony 'wouldn't let' her give her future daughter up for
adoption. Casey and Caylee lived with George and Cindy Anthony. Caylee
was very loved by her grandparents. At one point, Cindy Anthony called
Casey an 'unfit mother' and wanted to try and get custody of Caylee, but
she never did.
In March of 2008 someone used the Anthony computer to search 'neck
breaking' on Google. They also searched 'how to make chloroform',
'household weapons, 'shovel', and 'death'. Someone in the home was also
looking at websites made for missing children. Casey got into a fight
with her mother (Casey allegedly stole money from her grandmother).
After this fight, Casey moved out of her parents' home and lived with
some of her friends.
One June 15, 2008, Cindy Anthony took Caylee to a nursing home to visit
her great grandfather. Later on that day, Cindy took Caylee back to
their house to swim in her swimming pool. After the two are done
swimming, Cindy made sure she took the ladder out of the pool and away
from it so Caylee couldn't get in it and drown. This was the last time
anyone except for Casey would see Caylee alive. The next day, Casey
called her parents multiple times, but her parents didn't answer the
phone. A day after this, Cindy noticed that the ladder was back in their
pool and the gate to the pool was open.
On June 18, 2012, Casey borrowed a shovel from a neighbor, she also
backed her car up to the garage. Cindy and George Anthony asked to speak
with their granddaughter, but Casey wouldn't let them. She told them
that Caylee was with a nanny named Zenaida Gonzalez, often called 'Zanny
the Nanny' by the public. Cindy and George had never heard of this
nanny.
Casey moved out of her parents' house again and got a tattoo that said
'Bella Vita' which means 'Good Life' in Italian. She had a great time
partying with her friends and getting drunk. This all happened while
Caylee was no where to be seen. About a month after Casey moved out,
George and Cindy Anthony got a call that said her car was abandoned at a
check cashing store. When Cindy went to pick up the car, she opened is
trunk and smelled a horrible smell. Later, she called 9-1-1 and stated
"I found my daughter's car today and it smells like there's been a dead
body in the damn car!"
Cindy found out that Casey was living with her boyfriend. She found
Casey and asked her about the smell of the car. Casey told her that two
squirrels had crawled into the car and died, which was why it smelled so
bad. When Cindy asked Casey where Caylee was, Casey said that Caylee
was sleeping at the nanny's house and she didn't want to go get her
while she was asleep. Cindy called 9-1-1 twice that day. One time she
called to report that Casey had stolen money from her friend, and the
second time, it was for stealing the car. Later that night, Casey said
that 'Zanny the Nanny' had kidnapped Caylee and that she had been
missing for a whole month. Cindy Anthony had to call 9-1-1 a third time
that day, this time, to report two year old Caylee missing.
When cops came to the scene, they were immediately suspicious about the
fact that Casey had waited so long to report Caylee missing. Casey told
them that she was trying to find Caylee by herself. The police then
searched for the nanny who allegedly kidnapped Caylee. Casey gave them
three addresses that Zeneida lived at. One of the addresses led them to a
place that had been vacant for five months. Another address turned out
to be a Senior Center. Casey then told them she'd take them to Zeneida's
mother's house. When she got near where she said the house was, she
told them that she forgot where the house was located. Casey told the
police that she had told two of her co-workers about Caylee's
kidnapping. She said that the co-workers had both moved out of the state
soon afterward. She also told them that she lost her cellphone that
their phone numbers were stored in. She gave police the names of these
people, but it turned out that one of them was fired in 2002 and the
other never worked there at all.
Police suggested that maybe Caylee would be at Casey's workplace. They
take her there, and Casey confesses that she was fired two years ago.
Casey was arrested for child neglect and lying to investigators. She was
bailed out for $500,000 by a bounty hunter. After this, Casey is
re-arrested for economic fraud charges because she stole her friend's
checks. She is bailed out again by an anonymous person. A massive search
begins for Caylee. Meanwhile, tests were done on the trunk of the car
and it is found that there is evidence of human decomposition in the
trunk. Strands of hair that belonged to Caylee were found in the trunk.
They had death bands, which means they came from a dead body. The trunk
was also tested positive for chloroform and a stain that is in the shape
of a child laying in the fetal position was in the trunk of the car. At
this point, Casey is indicated for murder.
In August of 2008, a man named Roy Kronk discovered mysterious bags in a
wooded area. He calls in a tip line, but no one investigated it. On
December 11, 2008, a Roy Kronk, meter reader went into the woods to
relieve himself. He returned to the place where he saw the bags earlier
that year. He saw a laundry bag with trash bags inside of it. Out of
curiosity, he kicked the bag. He heard rattling inside, and then a tiny
skeleton skull rolled out. There was duct tape wrapped all the way
around the skull and a heart shaped sticker was placed over the mouth.
Bones were found all over the area because animals had found the remains
first. There was also a Gatorade bottle filled with chloroform found
near the bag, along with it, there was a syringe. Also inside the bag
was a knife, a roll of duct tape, a Pooh Bear blanket, and some
children's clothing. The skeleton was confirmed to be the remains of
Caylee Marie Anthony.
Soon after Caylee's body was discovered, George Anthony sent text
messages to his family members telling them that he didn't want to live
anymore without Caylee and that he was going to take his life so he
could be with her. He was found in a hotel with medication and a suicide
note. He was taken to the hospital. Despite all of the evidence. Casey
Anthony was found 'not-guilty' for murdering two year old Caylee. It was
said that Caylee drowned in the family's swimming pool, and George
Anthony was even accused of sexually abusing Casey. Many people believe
that Casey killed Caylee and then made up lie after lie to cover it up.
