In 2008, the disappearance and death of two-year-old Caylee Anthony captured the nation's attention. Her mother, Casey Anthony, was tried for Caylee's murder in one of the most publicized trials in recent history. Casey was acquitted of the charges in 2011, but questions still remain about what really happened to Caylee.
The three-part Peacock docuseries Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies aims to take a deeper look into the Casey Anthony case over a decade later. Directed by Alexandra Dean, the series features Casey's first on-camera interview since her trial to share her side of the story.
The docuseries interviews members of Casey's defense team and prosecutors involved in the trial to get their perspectives looking back. It also features interviews with Casey's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, who have differing views on Casey's involvement in Caylee's death. Family members like Casey's brother Lee Anthony offer more intimate insights into Casey's life and personality.
Journalists, legal experts, and others connected to the case also weigh in with analysis on the evidence and trial. Archive footage and recordings take viewers back to the key moments of the case as they unfolded. The series gives a well-rounded view of the different angles surrounding the tragic death of Caylee Anthony.
One of the main questions the series tackles is Casey's alleged involvement and knowledge of her daughter's death. Casey discusses her account of what happened to Caylee during the 31 days she was missing before Casey notified authorities. The series examines Casey's controversial behavior during this time period when she was out partying and getting a tattoo that read "Bella Vita."
The docuseries also takes another look at the forensic evidence that was so critical in the trial. The prosecution argued that Casey chloroformed Caylee and put duct tape over her nose and mouth, while the defense disputed the evidence. New information and perspectives on the science behind the evidence are presented.
Casey also opens up about her tumultuous relationship with her parents. The series delves into her claims of childhood sexual abuse by her father George, who denied the allegations. Interviews with both parents sheds light on the dysfunctional dynamics within the Anthony family.
