  52. 3:01child
  53. 3:02[Music]
  54. 3:06in June of 2008 according to Cindy Casey
  55. 3:11tells her that she needs to go to

  63. 3:33daughter's car was abandoned at a strip
  64. 3:35mall parking lot and has been towed to
  65. 3:37an impound lot in Orlando but what is

  68. 3:47reach his daughter
  69. 3:48KC's father George claims the car from
  70. 3:50the impound lot it's a trip that brings
  71. 3:53an unsettling discovery when he got to
  72. 3:56the Pontiac at the Recker yard it
  73. 3:58wreaked he was a former law enforcement
  74. 4:00officer George knows when a dead body
  75. 4:03smells like and he really thought to
  76. 4:05himself I really hope paleo or KC I'm
  77. 4:09not gonna find them in this trunk
  78. 4:11George opens the trunk and finds a bag
  79. 4:14of trash for the moment he's relieved
  80. 4:17but they still haven't heard from KC
  81. 4:20Cindy Anthony was able to track down KC
  82. 4:23at her boyfriend's house that's when
  83. 4:26Casey told her that Caylee was missing
  84. 4:28she had been gone for 30 days she was
  85. 4:35supposedly kidnapped by a nanny
  86. 4:40that's when Cindy calls 9-1-1 Cindy goes
  87. 4:51on to give the 9-1-1 operator some
  88. 4:54disturbing information meanwhile Casey
  89. 5:05did get on the line and seemed rather
  90. 5:08calm can you tell me a little bit what's
  91. 5:11going on my daughter's been missing for
  92. 5:13the last 31 days why are you calling now
  93. 5:16why didn't she call 31 days ago I've
  94. 5:17been looking for her and have gone
  95. 5:20through other resources to try to find
  96. 5:22her which was stupid if my kids were
  97. 5:27gone for 31 seconds it would I freaked
  98. 5:32out
  99. 5:32I can't imagine 31 days I really don't
  100. 5:37remember when I first heard that there
  101. 5:39was a toddler missing in Orlando but you
  102. 5:42couldn't help but knowing about it
  103. 5:44it became a huge news story in this
  104. 5:47community detective URI Mellish is
  105. 5:53assigned to the case when he arrives at
  106. 5:56the Anthony's home his first priority is
  107. 5:58to get information about the nanny who
  108. 6:00Casey claims has abducted her daughter
  109. 6:03you took Casey to babysit ourselves yes
  110. 6:07is there anything about this store that
  111. 6:09you're telling me that is untrue or is
  112. 6:11there anything that you want to change
  113. 6:12or divert from what you've already told
  114. 6:13me missing after hours of interviewing
  115. 6:16Casey police launched a full-scale
  116. 6:18investigation led by detective MELAS
  117. 6:22it begins with a visit to the home of
  118. 6:24the nanny but when police arrive
  119. 6:28the apartment is vacant the babysitter
  120. 6:32so far as anyone can determine never
  121. 6:35actually existed though she was
  122. 6:38described in great detail by Casey on
  123. 6:41more than one occasion and that's not
  124. 6:44the only thing about Casey's story that
  125. 6:46doesn't add up Casey was claiming that
  126. 6:49she worked at Universal Studios had a
  127. 6:50job as an event planner the police went
  128. 6:53to Universal and determined that in fact
  129. 6:55she didn't work there she hadn't worked
  130. 6:56there in over a year
  131. 6:58investigators proved through cellphone
  132. 7:00records that Casey never left Orlando
  133. 7:02the entire month on July 16th nearly 24
  134. 7:06hours after the 911 Casey Anthony is
  135. 7:10arrested and charged with aggravated
  136. 7:12child neglect and lying to investigators
  137. 7:16Casey denies the charge and immediately
  138. 7:19hires a lawyer Jose Baez Baez was a
  139. 7:24relatively unknown attorney Baez
  140. 7:27declares that Casey is innocent Casey
  141. 7:29doesn't know where Caylee is she was
  142. 7:36family and we're here to move forward at
  143. 7:39finding Caylee meanwhile pictures
  144. 7:43surfaced on the internet showing Casey
  145. 7:45out partying even entering a hot body
  146. 7:48contest during the time she claimed to
  147. 7:50be looking for Caylee in one photo she's
  148. 7:53showing off a new tattoo and the tattoo
  149. 7:56artist who etched bellavita or beautiful
  150. 7:58life on Casey's back two weeks after

  153. 8:05the story of a missing little girl and
  154. 8:08the sexy photos of her mother plastered
  155. 8:10on the Internet
  156. 8:11cause an instant media frenzy when these
  157. 8:14pictures were taken on to 20th at fusion
  158. 8:16Ultra Lounge in Orlando Casey's daughter
  159. 8:19had been missing for five days we have a
  160. 8:25mother whose actions and activities are
  161. 8:28inconsistent with a mother whose child
  162. 8:31has gone missing and that she does not
  163. 8:34know where her child is or what happened
  164. 8:36to her child while Casey sits in jail
  165. 8:43authorities launch a massive hunt for
  166. 8:45her daughter George and Cindy Anthony
  167. 8:48are at the forefront of the search Cindy
  168. 8:51and George wholeheartedly believe their
  169. 8:53granddaughter is still alive and their
  170. 8:54daughter is innocent she is not dead
  171. 8:58hundreds of people came out to search
  172. 9:00for her coming up as the hunt for Caylee
  173. 9:05continues police uncover shocking new
  174. 9:09evidence that will turn the case upside
  175. 9:12down
  176. 9:17and it was really a horrendous piece of
  177. 9:20information by October of 2008
  178. 9:31two-year-old kami Anthony has been
  179. 9:33missing for four months as the search
  180. 9:36for her continues law enforcement
  181. 9:39officials conduct a forensic exam of her
  182. 9:41mother's car the vehicle had been in
  183. 9:44Casey's possession from the last time
  184. 9:46Caylee was seen until it was towed and
  185. 9:49then eventually reclaimed by the
  186. 9:51Anthony's and the police received it the
  187. 9:53police first test the air inside the
  188. 9:56trunk and detect high levels of
  189. 9:58chloroform a chemical that could be used
  190. 10:00to render someone unconscious it's an
  191. 10:03unexpected finding and it isn't long
  192. 10:05before investigators uncover even more
  193. 10:07startling evidence in the trunk a
  194. 10:09Caucasian head hair found exhibits
  195. 10:12characteristics of apparent
  196. 10:14decomposition at the root a
  197. 10:16mitochondrial DNA test goes on to say
  198. 10:18that the hair could belong to Kaylee if
  199. 10:20the report is accurate that hair would
  200. 10:22have fallen off Kaylee's dead body
  201. 10:28investigators now believe that Kaylee is
  202. 10:31dead and that at some point her dead
  203. 10:34body was in the trunk of her mother's
  204. 10:36car
  205. 10:37it's always hard to prove a murder
  206. 10:40without a body but we felt that between
  207. 10:43the odor evidence in the car and the
  208. 10:45hair and the chloroform which was found
  209. 10:48in the trunk we just felt was sufficient
  210. 10:50to give it to the grand jury
  211. 10:53[Music]
  212. 10:57with this evidence 22 year old Casey
  213. 11:00Anthony is charged with her daughter's
  214. 11:02murder an Orange County grand jury has
  215. 11:05issued an indictment on the following
  216. 11:07charges first-degree murder aggravated
  217. 11:10child abuse aggravated manslaughter of a
  218. 11:14child and four counts providing false
  219. 11:17information to a law enforcement on
  220. 11:21December 11th 2008 two months after
  221. 11:24Casey Anthony is charged with murder a
  222. 11:26meter reader from the City of Orlando
  223. 11:28named Roy crock takes a break and walks
  224. 11:32into an overgrown field some 20 feet off
  225. 11:34the road in a residential area where
  226. 11:37something catches his eye and then he
  227. 11:40must have unnoticed you know this
  228. 11:42probably is a sculpt he notifies his
  229. 11:45boss who immediately calls 911
  230. 11:48[Music]
  231. 11:52occasionally found a human skull unlike
  232. 11:55a Hodge lead detective yuri Mellish in
  233. 12:00turn calls Steve Hansen dr. G's chief
  234. 12:03investigator and Ouray said Steve we
  235. 12:06found a skeleton and I'm going okay he
  236. 12:10said we think it could be Caylee Anthony
  237. 12:13and I'm going and they're kidding me
  238. 12:16right
  239. 12:16and I turned to Steve and I said unless
  240. 12:19it's really important don't bother me
  241. 12:21with it
  242. 12:22and he goes it is they found a skeleton
  243. 12:25near the home of where Casey Anthony
  244. 12:27lived and I my heart sank
  245. 12:33once the body was discovered it was a
  246. 12:36real game-changer because there's going
  247. 12:38to be forensic evidence either
  248. 12:41associated with the body or the area
  249. 12:44where the body was found all they found
  250. 12:46is a skull of a small child they believe
  251. 12:49is a little girl Caylee Anthony who's
  252. 12:51been missing since June we knew at this
  253. 12:55point the eyes of at least Orlando were
  254. 12:58on us we didn't realize that the eyes of
  255. 13:01the country even the world were on us
  256. 13:03[Music]
  257. 13:06when I drove up to the scene it was a
  258. 13:09zoo there are media trucks there are
  259. 13:14crowds of people there are police cars
  260. 13:19dancing meets detective Mellish at the
  261. 13:21scene who leads him to a densely wooded
  262. 13:23swampy area scattered among the leaves
  263. 13:29are some small bones the skull two
  264. 13:32garbage bags and a laundry bag there are
  265. 13:35also remnants of a toddler size t-shirt
  266. 13:38and shorts along with a baby blanket it
  267. 13:42clearly had the pattern of we need to
  268. 13:45poo with piglet on its back this is
  269. 13:48clearly a baby blanket it just makes it
  270. 13:52a little sadder my first thought was
  271. 14:00let's get the right team dr. G
  272. 14:03immediately calls John Schultz a
  273. 14:05forensic anthropologist from the
  274. 14:07University of Central Florida and an
  275. 14:09expert in the recovery and
  276. 14:11identification of skeletal remains I am
  277. 14:14often called whenever there is a
  278. 14:16skeletal dispersal to work with the
  279. 14:19law-enforcement agency that's involved
  280. 14:22dr. G also calls in dr. Michael Warren a
  281. 14:25University of Florida professor and
  282. 14:27forensic anthropologist who specializes
  283. 14:30in analyzing children skeletons everyone
  284. 14:33has a specific research interest and um
  285. 14:35have some experience with juveniles with
  286. 14:39the help of the Orange County crime
  287. 14:41scene personnel dr. G and her team
  288. 14:43carefully document and recover the
  289. 14:45evidence and bones that are scattered in
  290. 14:48a radius over 30 feet there was evidence
  291. 14:53on the bones where animals had to choose
  292. 14:56remains taking parts of the skeleton
  293. 14:58away they found bones that were smaller
  294. 15:03than the nail on your little finger in
  295. 15:06dense underbrush unbelievable the job
  296. 15:12and the documentation they did when they
  297. 15:15study the location and pattern of the
  298. 15:17bones dr. G and her team make a key
  299. 15:20discovery the body of the child had to
  300. 15:23have been placed out there prior to
  301. 15:25really any significant decomposition
  302. 15:28these bones had to have been there for
  303. 15:32months and there was nothing
  304. 15:34inconsistent with them being placed
  305. 15:36there about the time she went missing
  306. 15:41and that's very important this is a
  307. 15:43child that was just dumped in the woods
  308. 15:46like a piece of trash
  309. 15:48[Music]
  310. 15:51it was my job to not only identify the
  311. 15:55body but to determine the cause of
  312. 15:58manner of death or to collect any
  313. 16:00information from that body that could
  314. 16:03help us piece together what happened dr.
  315. 16:07G sends the tibia or shin bone the most
  316. 16:10intact bone recovered to the FBI lab for
  317. 16:13identification to find out if the
  318. 16:15remains are indeed Kaylee's but the
  319. 16:18results won't come back for seven days
  320. 16:21in the meantime dr. G continues her
  321. 16:25examination whenever you do a forensic
  322. 16:28exam you have to listen to what their
  323. 16:30body's telling it coming on it would be
  324. 16:34an autopsy for the history books
  325. 16:36and one with secrets that would never
  326. 16:38make it into the newspapers toward the
  327. 16:41courtroom sometimes the body scream out
  328. 16:44what happened and sometimes they whisper
  329. 16:52[Music]
  330. 16:56in the district nine morgue in Orlando
  331. 16:59Florida
  332. 16:59and chief medical examiner dr. G turns
  333. 17:02to the evidence photos of the skeleton
  334. 17:04believed to be the missing two-year-old
  335. 17:06Caylee Anthony but one picture in
  336. 17:10particular concerns her the most it's a
  337. 17:12pretty horrendous picture this childhood
  338. 17:15duct tape over its lower face even
  339. 17:20though the glue on this duct tape has
  340. 17:22disintegrated and only the mesh remains
  341. 17:25incredibly it is still attached to the
  342. 17:28hair
  343. 17:28the air is kinda all intertwined in that
  344. 17:31mesh and it was attached to it then dr.
  345. 17:35G looks at what's under the tape lo and
  346. 17:38behold all the teeth we're still present
  347. 17:41in the man was
  348. 17:43incredible particularly with a child ja
  349. 17:48a little tiny baby teeth they don't have
  350. 17:50any roots they come right out not only
  351. 17:54are the teeth still in place but the jaw
  352. 17:57is still attached to the skull normally
  353. 18:01there's nothing holding the jaw or
  354. 18:04mandible to the skull there's nothing
  355. 18:08that keeps it together when you
  356. 18:09decompose it and for dr. G this finding
  357. 18:12is both disturbing and telling the doc
  358. 18:16gave told off then it was put there
  359. 18:19before she started decompose the
  360. 18:25question is was it over her nose was it
  361. 18:28over her mouth it was certainly in that
  362. 18:31area could I have gone out on the limb
  363. 18:34and say she suffocated with that tape I
  364. 18:37can't say for certain but that duct tape
  365. 18:41was put there for a reason
  366. 18:43[Music]
  367. 18:48dr. G and her team also inspect the
  368. 18:51skull for any signs of trauma that could
  369. 18:54give her a definitive cause of death we
  370. 18:56examined it on the outside we examine it
  371. 18:58on the inside we x-rayed it there is no
  372. 19:02reason to open it we were able to look
  373. 19:04inside that skull with a light with a
  374. 19:06mirror
  375. 19:07we do a very thorough examination and
  376. 19:13that child had no traumatic injury to
  377. 19:15the skull doctor G and her team turned
  378. 19:21their attention from the skull to the
  379. 19:23rest of the body what was really telling
  380. 19:26and this is really important is that
  381. 19:28there are reutlitz little roots growing
  382. 19:31into the bone when the roots are growing
  383. 19:34into a bone the bone has to be totally
  384. 19:37decomposed first roots don't grow into
  385. 19:40rotting flesh roots also don't go into
  386. 19:43moving objects
  387. 19:45this finding reinforces what dr. G and
  388. 19:48her team found at the scene where the
  389. 19:50remains were recovered namely that the
  390. 19:53body had been lying there for a long
  391. 19:55time about the same time Cayley went
  392. 19:58missing those bones were there for
  393. 20:01months she was stopped at the very early
  394. 20:05stages of her decomposing those are
  395. 20:08things we know by the science next the
  396. 20:13doctors take a closer look at each bone
  397. 20:15individually searching for clues about
  398. 20:18how this child died we're looking at the
  399. 20:21bones under the dissecting microscope
  400. 20:23and that was mostly the work of dr.
  401. 20:25Warren and dr. Schultz they're looking
  402. 20:27for any kind of subtle fractures old or
  403. 20:30new blows to the chest area which may be
  404. 20:36caused some hairline fractures or a
  405. 20:39knife that may be nicked the rib of
  406. 20:43anything that might help us indicate
  407. 20:46trauma hit by a car rolled over any
  408. 20:54but their detailed exam yields no
  409. 20:57definitive cause of death there was just
  410. 21:00absolutely no signs of traumatic injury
  411. 21:01to that child
  412. 21:06if we didn't find anything it didn't
  413. 21:08really mean that didn't happen still
  414. 21:12searching for a cause of death
  415. 21:13dr. G has one last place to look
  416. 21:17toxicology at least needed to be
  417. 21:20attempted and it wasn't going to be
  418. 21:22conventional toxicology conventional
  419. 21:25toxicology is we take blood or tissue
  420. 21:27samples and analyze it
  421. 21:29these were dry bones and when I mean dry
  422. 21:33bones
  423. 21:33there is no soft tissue on those bones
  424. 21:37and there is no marrow inside those
  425. 21:40cavities it's dry right as a bone we
  426. 21:45knew it was a long shot to find any kind
  427. 21:46of drugs in the bone we're trying to
  428. 21:53leave no stone unturned if there was
  429. 21:55something that could be answered from
  430. 21:58this body we want her to find it I
  431. 22:01called dr. Goldberger up at the
  432. 22:04University of Florida with a prominent
  433. 22:07toxicologist and asked if he could help
  434. 22:12we looked for illicit drugs prescription
  435. 22:15drugs over-the-counter drugs a whole
  436. 22:17wide range of features of different
  437. 22:19types of drugs we wanted to check for
  438. 22:22chloroform because we clearly knew from
  439. 22:27both the media at this point and from
  440. 22:30the police that there was some
  441. 22:32connection with chloroform
  442. 22:34if chloroform was given to Kelly it
  443. 22:38would have knocked her out traces of
  444. 22:43chloroform can linger in the air for
  445. 22:45over a month and confined spaces like
  446. 22:48the trunk of a car but it's a very
  447. 22:50different story in a body or skeleton
  448. 22:52chloroform doesn't have a half-life even
  449. 22:55of a few days so when the results come
  450. 23:01back from the lab as dr. G anticipated
  451. 23:04there's no evidence of any drugs in the
  452. 23:08end we found no chloroform no evidence
  453. 23:11of intoxicants at all in any of the
  454. 23:15samples that we evaluated could someone
  455. 23:18have given a drug or substance to Kelly
  456. 23:21and have killed her the answer is yes
  457. 23:26although I strongly suspect that it was
  458. 23:30an asphyxia type of death possibly mixed
  459. 23:33with drugs wasn't enough to give the
  460. 23:37cause of death then on December 19th the
  461. 23:43results of the DNA testing come back
  462. 23:46from the FBI they told us this is Caylee
  463. 23:49Marie Anthony the chance of someone else
  464. 23:54having that same DNA was one in two
  465. 23:57point nine trillion trillion that was
  466. 24:01good enough for me after a thorough
  467. 24:06examination in the field and in the
  468. 24:09morgue dr. G also knows the matter of
  469. 24:11Caylee's death the manner of death
  470. 24:15though is an opinion based on available
  471. 24:19information including examination of the
  472. 24:22body information from the scene as well
  473. 24:25as circumstantial evidence based on all
  474. 24:28of this the manner of death in this case
  475. 24:31is homicide
  476. 24:34I truly felt by the circumstances by the
  477. 24:38duct tape by the way she was thrown into
  478. 24:41those plastic bags and hidden and left
  479. 24:43to rot that this was a homicide I don't
  480. 24:45speak for the state I don't speak for
  481. 24:49the police I don't speak for any lawyers
  482. 24:51I don't speak for any defendants I speak
  483. 24:54to try to find the truth now with dr.
  484. 25:02G's official ruling of homicide lawyers
  485. 25:05on both sides get ready for the trial of
  486. 25:08the century coming up
  487. 25:13the prosecution reveals their disturbing
  488. 25:16theory of how Caylee was murdered why
  489. 25:18would you put duct tape over the face of
  490. 25:20a child is that still a possibility of
  491. 25:28how she died you bet
  492. 25:32[Music]
  493. 25:34on May 24th 2011 almost three years
  494. 25:39after two-year-old Caylee Anthony went
  495. 25:41missing her mother Casey is about to
  496. 25:45stand trial for murder
  497. 25:50Casey was indicted on first-degree
  498. 25:52murder charges based largely on forensic
  499. 25:54evidence some more to this story than
  500. 25:57you guys have ever have our men in South
  501. 26:00America
  502. 26:05people lined up in the middle of the
  503. 26:07night to try to get tickets for for that
  504. 26:10trial everyone wanted to try to get a
  505. 26:15glimpse of history it was clearly a
  506. 26:17media circus you see the huge crowd is
  507. 26:20the biggest crowd that has been here
  508. 26:21their deputies here sort of trying to
  509. 26:23control the chaos going into the trial
  510. 26:32many who have been following the case
  511. 26:34believe a guilty verdict is likely
  512. 26:41as difficult as it may be for anyone to
  513. 26:44accept that his mother would
  514. 26:47attentionally kill her own child from
  515. 26:51the evidence that you will hear in this
  516. 26:53case there is no other conclusion that
  517. 26:58could be drawn one of the prosecution's
  518. 27:04most compelling arguments is the fact
  519. 27:06that Casey did not report her daughter
  520. 27:08missing for 31 days no mom is not gonna
  521. 27:12know where their kid is for 31 days and
  522. 27:15not do something about it
  523. 27:17another cornerstone of the prosecution's
  524. 27:20case is Casey statement about a
  525. 27:22non-existent babysitter kidnapping
  526. 27:24Caylee
  527. 27:25she comes up with stories that had no
  528. 27:28basis in fact that were lies that it's
  529. 27:31so classic with a child death of a
  530. 27:34homicide but some of the most damning
  531. 27:37evidence the prosecution points to is
  532. 27:39from Casey's own car the dead body smell
  533. 27:43the strand of Kaylee's decomposing hair
  534. 27:45and the levels of chloroform even more
  535. 27:50alarming is the discovery that somebody
  536. 27:52in the Anthony's home looked up how to
  537. 27:54make chloroform on the computer three
  538. 27:57months before Caylee disappeared
  539. 28:02on Friday March 21st 2008 who will
  540. 28:06search conducted for how to make
  541. 28:09chloroform next their prosecution moves
  542. 28:16on to the most horrific finding the
  543. 28:19pieces of duct tape recovered from
  544. 28:21Caylee skull there are three overlapping
  545. 28:23of pieces of duct tape not one piece of
  546. 28:26duct tape but three pieces of duct tape
  547. 28:30this child was found in a field
  548. 28:34decomposed the duct tape somewhere
  549. 28:38located on the lower half of this face
  550. 28:42why would someone put duct tape over the
  551. 28:45nose and mouth of a child the only
  552. 28:48reason you come up with is because you
  553. 28:50don't want them to breathe anymore
  554. 28:51it was the prosecution theory that
  555. 28:54either the child died as a result of
  556. 28:57chloroform or core form which enabled
  557. 28:59the perpetrator to place duct tape over
  558. 29:03the child's mouth and nose and suffocate
  559. 29:06her you put the various elements
  560. 29:10together the chloroform in the trunk the
  561. 29:14odor in the trunk from a dead body and
  562. 29:16the hair and the only scenario that
  563. 29:18explained all of it was that Casey had
  564. 29:22used chloroform to render Caylee
  565. 29:26unconscious and basically killed her
  566. 29:29[Music]
  567. 29:31but then the defense gives their
  568. 29:34shocking version of what happened to
  569. 29:36Katlin
  570. 29:37this is not a murder case this is not a
  571. 29:40manslaughter case her death was covered
  572. 29:43up coming up for the very first time dr.
  573. 29:47G responds to the defense's explosive
  574. 29:50accusations he has the nerve to call my
  575. 29:54work shot in May 2011 the murder trial
  576. 30:05of Casey Anthony is heating on as the
  577. 30:08defense is about to present their
  578. 30:10shocking theory as to how her
  579. 30:12two-year-old daughter Caylee died
  580. 30:17[Music]
  581. 30:20Haley Anthony died on June 16 2008 when
  582. 30:24she drowned in her family's swimming
  583. 30:26pool the defense claims that George
  584. 30:31Anthony found Caylee dead drowned in the
  585. 30:34family pool when Casey wasn't watching
  586. 30:37her then they imply George disposed of
  587. 30:41Caylee's body in the swamp where she was
  588. 30:44eventually found her death was covered
  589. 30:47up this is not a murder case this is not
  590. 30:52a manslaughter case this is a sad tragic
  591. 30:57accident that snowball out of control
  592. 31:02when dr. G is called to the stand she
  593. 31:05testifies this scenario is completely
  594. 31:07out of line with how parents react
  595. 31:09during an accidental drowning I have
  596. 31:12over 20 years of experience dealing with
  597. 31:14mothers whose children have died
  598. 31:17accidentally this is not how they react
  599. 31:20when the person finds the child they
  600. 31:26call 911 because there is a chance that
  601. 31:28that child might live and what if the
  602. 31:32person finds and obviously drowned body
  603. 31:35so obviously deceased what this no
  604. 31:40matter how stiff that body is they
  605. 31:44always call 911
  606. 31:46[Music]
  607. 31:48in the past ten years we've had over 120
  608. 31:52cases of kids under six drown in pools
  609. 31:55they're all transported they're all
  610. 31:57calling 911 I've had mothers on crack
  611. 32:02cocaine that kids die and they're still
  612. 32:05devastated they're screaming because you
  613. 32:07don't know how long that kid was in the
  614. 32:09water and you want to try to save it
  615. 32:13nothing fits a drowning there's not one
  616. 32:17shred of evidence that that occurred
  617. 32:20then the defense rips apart the
  618. 32:23prosecution's theory that Casey looked
  619. 32:25up how to make chloroform on the
  620. 32:27computer they assert that the search was
  621. 32:30actually done by her mother Cindy was
  622. 32:34looking up chlorophyll a green pigment
  623. 32:36found in plants
  624. 32:38I started looking at Quora fill and then
  625. 32:40that prompted me to look up Cora form
  626. 32:44the defense points to the fact that dr.
  627. 32:47G and the toxicologist dr. Goldberger
  628. 32:49found no trace of chloroform or any
  629. 32:52drugs and Kaylie's remains we found
  630. 32:55nothing we found no volatile but dr. G
  631. 32:59is not given the chance to make it clear
  632. 33:02to the jury that traces of chloroform in
  633. 33:04the body dissipate in less than a few
  634. 33:06days so it would be impossible to find
  635. 33:10after six months we couldn't find drugs
  636. 33:13and couldn't find even products of
  637. 33:16decomposition it was just nothing there
  638. 33:19does that mean that there was never drug
  639. 33:22in her no it can't be found any more
  640. 33:24things break down I'm not saying it was
  641. 33:29never there I'm saying it couldn't be
  642. 33:30found is that still a possibility of how
  643. 33:33she died you got mixed bias suggest the
  644. 33:38duct tape could just as well have been
  645. 33:39used to bind the bags Haley was wooded
  646. 33:42and never used to cover her mouth or
  647. 33:44nose yeah as to whether this tape was
  648. 33:49used to wrapped Keeley's remains
  649. 33:53although the defense tries to contradict
  650. 33:56dr. G's scientific findings she knows
  651. 34:00that the duct tape was put on Callie's
  652. 34:02face before or during the early stages
  653. 34:05of decomposition during decomposition at
  654. 34:08your bow falls off because it's heavy
  655. 34:11but this one was together and the only
  656. 34:14explanation is that tape protecting it
  657. 34:20this is a horrendous piece of
  658. 34:23information when you think of already
  659. 34:25this child have been put in a bag put in
  660. 34:28another bag thrown into a canvas bag
  661. 34:31toss behind a riding log and also had
  662. 34:35duct tape attached to the face there is
  663. 34:39no child that should have duct tape on
  664. 34:42its face when it dies there is no reason
  665. 34:46to put duct tape on the face after they
  666. 34:50done next there's a fence set on proving
  667. 34:55that Caylee was not a victim of homicide
  668. 34:57begins to chip away at dr. G's autopsy
  669. 35:00by calling in their own medical examiner
  670. 35:03dr. Werner Spitz dr. Spitz who did his
  671. 35:08own autopsy of Kaylee's remains states
  672. 35:10that one of his sharpest criticisms of
  673. 35:13dr. G is that she did not open Kaylee
  674. 35:16skull
  675. 35:17[Music]
  676. 35:19to not open the head I think if a
  677. 35:22failure where the head is not opened
  678. 35:26that tells me about a shoddy autopsy he
  679. 35:30dwelled on this failure to open the
  680. 35:33skull which was nothing more than smoke
  681. 35:36in mirrors dr. G is not called to the
  682. 35:41witness stand after dr. Spitz so she
  683. 35:44never gets the chance to explain to the
  684. 35:46jury that in her opinion his logic is
  685. 35:49not only flawed but also irrelevant
  686. 35:52considering it was a completely dry
  687. 35:54skeleton there was no reason to open
  688. 35:57that skull we could clearly see in the
  689. 36:00sky we looked inside there was nothing
  690. 36:02there but dirt at the base of the skull
  691. 36:05if we had cut the skull the skull would
  692. 36:08have fallen apart in our hands which is
  693. 36:11exactly what happened when dr. Spitz got
  694. 36:14open Kayle skull during his exam I
  695. 36:19didn't know that broken he broke it he
  696. 36:24caused a fracture and it fell apart and
  697. 36:26then he has a nerve to call my work
  698. 36:29shoddy
  699. 36:32but the defense doesn't let up on its
  700. 36:34contention that Kaylee died by accident
  701. 36:36and in order to convince the jury they
  702. 36:39attacked the very foundation of dr. G's
  703. 36:42findings dr. Jan Gaurav agnya you would
  704. 36:46think that you can get a medical
  705. 36:48examiner to come and talk to you about
  706. 36:50medicine about science a person on the
  707. 36:56street riding a bicycle could give you
  708. 36:58these same facts and say the same thing
  709. 37:01this is not science I don't know what
  710. 37:05they're talking about with the
  711. 37:06examination of the body the conclusions
  712. 37:10were scientifically defensible that is
  713. 37:14not a principle that I make up it's not
  714. 37:18because this was a high-profile case
  715. 37:20that I wanted to do a thorough job this
  716. 37:23is a two-year home a little girl it was
  717. 37:26found in the woods coming up dr. G
  718. 37:31reveals how she knows Caylee was
  719. 37:33murdered the circumstances tell a
  720. 37:37tremendous amount
  721. 37:46the defense in the Casey Anthony murder
  722. 37:49trial is doing everything they can to
  723. 37:51tear apart the prosecution's contention
  724. 37:52that two year old Caylee Anthony was
  725. 37:55murdered by her mother now they are
  726. 37:59attacking dr. G's ruling do you have an
  727. 38:01opinion as to the manner of death
  728. 38:04homicide
  729. 38:08the defense relentlessly hammers home
  730. 38:11the fact that dr. G can't come to a
  731. 38:13conclusion as to how he was killed
  732. 38:16despite the investigations the
  733. 38:18toxicology the anthropologist all of
  734. 38:22these things there is no scientific or
  735. 38:26medical evidence to establish all of
  736. 38:28this child's death I believe we can
  737. 38:31reliably say it's a homicide but I don't
  738. 38:36know the means for which that homicide
  739. 38:39occurred so the bottom line is when you
  740. 38:43say and you place a label homicide the
  741. 38:46indeterminate means you're saying that
  742. 38:50circumstantial evidence to you says that
  743. 38:52it probably was a homicide the
  744. 38:57circumstances of death did not fit
  745. 39:00anything but a homicide circumstances
  746. 39:04yes
  747. 39:06it is modern practice of forensic
  748. 39:09pathology to look at all the situations
  749. 39:13you cannot make an anatomic diagnosis as
  750. 39:16far as the manner of death it's always
  751. 39:19based on everything the body the scene
  752. 39:22history in this case the circumstances
  753. 39:27tell a tremendous amount first of all
  754. 39:31not reporting her missing for 31 days
  755. 39:34then coming up with a story that she's
  756. 39:36kidnapped and none of that
  757. 39:38fit on why this child was found down the
  758. 39:44street from her house in a plastic bag
  759. 39:46hid with duct tape over its face there
  760. 39:48is no reason for a two-year-old child to
  761. 39:52decompose in a field in a plastic bag
  762. 39:56with duct tape over its face
  763. 39:59it's clearly a homicide
  764. 40:03the defense was unable to shake her on
  765. 40:06that point we just felt that the
  766. 40:11evidence was so overwhelming that the
  767. 40:15jury would find her guilty
  768. 40:20the trial draws to a close as the nation
  769. 40:23anxiously awaits a verdict
  770. 40:27[Music]
  771. 40:30people drove to downtown Orlando just to
  772. 40:33be outside the courthouse to hear the
  773. 40:36verdict being rendered it was chaotic
  774. 40:38people were screaming they don't have to
  775. 40:43wait long on July 5th 2011 after
  776. 40:48deliberating just 11 hours the jury
  777. 40:50reaches a verdict as to the charge of
  778. 40:59first-degree murder we the jury find the
  779. 41:01defendant not guilty
  780. 41:04Casey Anthony is convicted of only 4
  781. 41:08misdemeanor counts of lying to law
  782. 41:10enforcement
  783. 41:12it was just unimaginable to me that 12
  784. 41:15people could look at that evidence and
  785. 41:19not find her guilty
  786. 41:23I don't understand people who think
  787. 41:26Elvis is still alive I don't understand
  788. 41:29people who think that we never landed on
  789. 41:32the moon I don't get those people so I
  790. 41:35don't get these people either
  791. 41:37I think this jury was waiting for that
  792. 41:40CSI moment I don't think they had a
  793. 41:43clear understanding that a
  794. 41:45circumstantial evidence case can be more
  795. 41:49compelling than a case where there is
  796. 41:51eyewitness testimony and that
  797. 41:54misconception I believe in no small part
  798. 41:58led to the not guilty verdict in this
  799. 42:01case the fact that dr. she couldn't say
  800. 42:05the duct tape killed her the chloroform
  801. 42:07killed her that was all they heard that
  802. 42:09was all they that was all that mattered
  803. 42:11you know if we couldn't say that then
  804. 42:14that was the end for them how the trial
  805. 42:15ended up is not something I have control
  806. 42:18over and it's not my job and I don't
  807. 42:21deal with guilt or innocence I deal with
  808. 42:23the fact that we can find many people
  809. 42:27react to the verdict with disbelief and
  810. 42:31outrage I think they felt that justice
  811. 42:34wasn't served at least not for Kaylie
  812. 42:37because in all of this it seems that
  813. 42:39Kaylie got lost everything was about KC
  814. 42:42and nothing was about the toddler
  815. 42:45[Music]
  816. 43:04yeah the sad part is that people would
  817. 43:06like closure on this case I wish I could
  818. 43:09have given it tone I wish some day we
  819. 43:13knew what happened
  820. 43:16the little Kaylie Marie but I can tell
  821. 43:19you it was a
  822. 43:23[Music]
  823. 43:30you
  824. 43:30[Music]
