Mother at centre of daughter's death

 Casey Anthony case

Kenya: It is a story that gripped America for three years. Toddler Caylee Anthony disappeared only for her skeleton to be discovered six months later a short distance from her home. The bony remains were found stuffed in plastic bags with the mouth area sealed with duct tape.

The first person to be accused of her death was her mother, Casey Anthony. On June 15, 2008, according to CNN archives, Casey’s mother, Cindy Anthony, called police to arrest her daughter on suspicion of stealing the family car and money. She had noted that her granddaughter was missing. A while later, she found the car and told the police: “I found my daughter’s car today, and it smelled like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.”
