Ms Anthony got pregnant at 19 years old and gave birth to Caylee Anthony on 9th August 2005. The identity of her child's father remains a mystery to this day. She alleged that her then-boyfriend Jesse Grund was the dad, but a paternity test came out negative.
The convict had thought of giving up the child for adoption, but her mother disagreed. She stayed with her parents until mid-June 2008, when she decided to leave with her daughter after a huge disagreement.
Caylee's disappearance
After leaving her parents' home, Cindy contacted her daughter to know how Caylee was doing, but Casey told her she was with a nanny each time. She later revealed that her daughter had been kidnapped by a nanny called Zenaida on 16th June in Orlando. Cindy reported Caylee's disappearance to the Orange County Sheriff Office on 15th July 2008. Investigations revealed that there was no nanny called Zenaida, and Caylee's mother was arrested.
Ms Anthony was released on 21st August on bail to help find her daughter, but she failed to provide helpful clues. The public questioned her don't care behaviour and occasional partying following Caylee's disappearance. She was re-arrested a week later.

Caylee Anthony's body was found in a plastic bag near her grandparents' home in December 2008. Casey's trial started in June 2011, and the prosecutors pushed to have a death penalty.
Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez, had a contrasting account as he revealed that the child accidentally drowned on 16th June 2008 in the family swimming pool, and George tried to cover it up. The convict kept quiet about Caylee's disappearance because she never disappeared.
Baez also said that the accused had been sexually abused by her dad since she was eight years old. Saying nothing about her daughter's death was one of her ways of covering up painful secrets from an early age. George denied all the accusations.
On July 5 2011, the jury found Caylee's mother not guilty of her daughter's death. The court found her guilty of providing false information to law enforcers, and she was sentenced to four years in prison but only stayed in jail for 12 days due to the time already served.
