An Edgar Award finalist presents the first full-length, in-depth account of the case of Casey Anthony, a 22-year-old mother in Orange County, Florida, charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. photos. Original.

Mommy's Little Girl

When news broke of three-year-old Caylee Anthony’s disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was one huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl’s mother. As the investigation continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey—her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition—a grand jury indicted the young single mother. Then, two months later, police found Caylee’s remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence. Did she or didn’t she kill Caylee? This is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing, and horrific crimes in modern American history.

Casey Anthony and her Daughter Caylee's Tragic Fate

Wow. I've followed this case from the beginning and was still shocked at the volume and depth of Casey's lies to family, friends and authorities. It was heartbreaking yet infuriating to see her parents in such obvious denial, to the point of looking like utter fools. Even though the trial is over and the not guilty verdict was handed down, this book followed a well documented timeline of the early stages of the investigation as well as what Casey was exactly doing during those first 31 days that Caylee was apparently "kidnapped" by the babysitter. How the jury ever found Casey Anthony not guilty is way beyond me........
