Anthony lives in the South Florida home of Patrick McKenna, a private detective who was the lead investigator on her defense team. She also works for him, doing online social media searches and other investigative work. McKenna was also the lead investigator for OJ Simpson, when he was accused of killing his wife and acquitted; Anthony said she's become fascinated with the case, and there are "a lot of parallels" to her own circumstances. She still dreads the supermarket checkout line for fear she'll see photos of her daughter on the cover of tabloid papers.
Her bedroom walls are decorated with photos of Caylee and she weeps when she shows off her daughter's colorful, finger-painted artwork. Still, she asserts she is happy. For her 31st birthday she plans to go skydiving. She enjoys taking photos, mostly of squirrels and other wildlife. And she loves her investigative work. IE 11 is not supported.

These statements have been edited for length and clarity. The Judge: 'What really happened? I thought the state had proved its case. I thought, while they may have had some flaws in their case, that there was a high probability that Casey would be found guilty of some form of homicide, and that did not occur.
A number of jurors said the reason that they came back with "not guilty" was because the state could not prove how Caylee died. The defense threw out a lot of theories. They threw out that she drowned. They tried to build on the inference that the gate was open, and that the ladder was down and that she was known to go out of the door and go up to the pool because she liked water.
I mean, there was no evidence that that happened. Those were inferences. But they were logical inferences that they were permitted based upon those slim factors to argue Justice is always served in a case where the facts are litigated before a jury, the jury looks at the law through their lens and they render a decision.
People may not agree with that decision, but when a case goes through the process that we have all agreed to live by, then justice is served.
Here we are, 10 years away from her death, and people still think about it. And there's one question that is on everyone's mind: What really happened? Until that question is answered, there will always be someone searching and someone wondering what that answer is. The Medical Examiner: 'Science took a backseat on the truth'. Jan Garavaglia, retired chief medical officer for Orange and Osceola counties. Looking back 10 years, what I was most appalled with was this lack of the truth and the lack of substantiated information.
You could just say lies and not back it up by any kind of evidence and it was allowed. That was a turning point for me. This has been happening more and more in the past 10 years, but for me that was the first time that I had to deal with it in society, that sometimes the truth doesn't matter and if you say it loud enough and often enough, people get confused and start believing you.
As a medical examiner, we're expected to do a few things: identify the body We don't look at just what the autopsy or just what the body shows we look at the scene, we look at the circumstances, we look at what's going on preceding the death.
And in this case, we have a child that is not reported missing. When the child is reported missing by the grandmother, there is no explanation that's credible of what happened to that child.
The body has clearly, clearly been hidden. It has been put in two plastic bags, then put in a canvas bag and then thrown behind a rotting log a couple of blocks from her house. And then we have the duct tape that's still present on the face. Those three things together clearly made this a homicide. It's not changed in my mind. It's not changed in the police's mind. It's not changed in the prosecutor's mind.
There is absolutely no proof this is an accidental death. Sometimes I think science took a backseat on the truth with the Caylee Anthony case. The Detective: 'She never seemed to have any remorse'. I supervised the investigation into the death of Caylee Anthony. Detective Yuri Melich's initial beliefs were that, because there was a lot of consternation between Cindy and Casey, that Caylee was probably being hidden somewhere from her grandparents.
But we only believed that for a real short period of time. Once we towed Casey's car to the forensics bay -- it clearly smelled of a dead body -- and we listened to the tape, at that point, it seemed very unlikely that we were looking for a live child. Having dealt with parents who have lost children, or parents with missing children, Casey Anthony was clearly different.
When Detective Melich was doing the arrest paper, I sat with her while he was filling out the paperwork. We promised to follow the law. Perhaps the juror who has been the most critical of the prosecution was the foreman, Juror Seven years later, the jurors — whose names were released six months after the trial — are still trying to distance themselves from the case.

Petersburg College, praised the jurors, but said when deliberations began there were "a lot of conflicting ideas. It was a horrible decision to have to make. The jury's jaw-dropping not guilty verdict shocked court observers, but it was also a difficult moment for the panel, Ford said in her exclusive interviews with ABC News. No one from the jury was willing to come out and talk to the media in the hours after the verdict.
We were crying, and not just the women. It was emotional and we weren't ready. We wanted to do it with integrity and not contribute to the sensationalism of the trial. Ford told Moran she thought Casey Anthony's claim that her 2-year-old daughter accidentally drowned and she lied for three years was more believable than the evidence the prosecution presented.
But it's easier for me logically to get from point A to point B" via the defense argument. Ford said that she couldn't make out "logically" the prosecution's argument because there were too many unanswered questions about how Caylee died, including how Casey Anthony would have used chloroform to smother her 2-year-old daughter, then put her in the trunk of her car without anyone seeing her.
No idea, still no idea. Those are important questions. They were not answered.
