I'm watching a repeat of a tv doc that aired earlier this past week on Oxygen, called "Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies". Produced by Prime, episode 1 is called "Why Lie" and 2 is called "Remembering."
Said to be Casey's first ever public interview, there are some revelations and accusations. Casey was the mother of toddler Caylee, who had disappeared a month before her grandmother called the police. Casey's intital answers to the authorities were proven as lies, a cadavar dog alerted on her car, which did smell badly in the trunk. Other circumstancial evidence, such as photos of her partying in the previous month,
Casey admits to having lied to the cops, but says her dad told her to do so. She accuses her family of being focused on a facade of a perfect family, when they were not so. Her mother was dominating, her father raped her from age 8 to 12, even smothering her with a pillow. She said her brother fondled her from age 12 to 15, but never raped her. (The father and brother didn't participate in the documentary, but have previously denied allegations of abuse, have not been charged or are under suspicion.)
Casey said she was napping with Caylee in the bed with her. She said her father awakened her and said the child was missing. She began searching the house and yard, but her dad found the child, apparently drowned, in their above-ground pool. Casey said he told her it was her fault, and gave her Cayee's body. She went hysterical and was unable to act, so her father gently took the child away, telling her it would be all right. She never saw the girl again, and didn't know where he took her. She went on with her life, following her dad's instructions and accepting his replies that Caylee was "fine" and "safe." She even tried to reassure her mother with lies that they'd find Cayee soon.
The child's skull and bones were eventually found 15 houses away in their neighborhood, breaking Casey's hope for recovering her alive.
The documrntary gives Casey screen time, but it is mentioned she does not have any control. They talk to cops, relatives, friends, therapists, prison acquaintances, even her lawyers. Differing viewpoints on her guilt or innocence are expressed. There is evidence in letters written to a fellow inmate that the childhood sexual abuse had occurred.
