October 2008, Casey Anthony has been arrested and charged with first degree murder of her two year old daughter, Caylee Anthony.
The entire world was watching, in disgust, as a mother was soooo dismissive and her lack of emotion was disturbing, did not go unnoticed.
Let's continue where we left off... her arrest!!! (What we know so far...)
Casey Anthony left her parents' home in June 2008, with her daughter, Caylee. Casey didn't return for 31 days. Cindy Anthony called the police, reporting that her granddaughter, Caylee was missing. She was terrified, telling officers that Caylee has been missing for a month, and they only found out now from their daughter, who had finally admitted it. She was adamant that something was wrong, claiming that her daughter's car smells terrible.. "smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car".
She continued, repeating what Casey had told her, that she hasn't seen Caylee nor her babysitter, Zenaida "Zanny" Fernandez-Gonzalez. Casey claimed that Zanny had kidnapped Caylee a month ago. (This call was made on July 15, 2008).
Casey Anthony was released but mere days later she was declared a "person of interest" on the disappearance of Caylee. (This was July 22, 2008).
The judicial system was NOT toying with this case, at all. On October 14, 2008, despite not finding Caylee, nor her bodily remains, a Florida grand jury indicted Casey Anthony on first degree murder charges. These charges carry the potential of resulting in with a death penalty.
Five months after Caylee Anthony was reported missing, her remains were uncovered in a wooded area, less than a mile away from the Anthonys' home in Florida. The person who found the remains, testified later that he saw a white object in the same area in August 2008, believing it was a human skull. Police came out, looked one way and the other, only to berate him for wasting the officer's time.
