Case overview
On July 15, 2008, Caylee was reported missing in a 9-1-1 call made by Cindy, who said she had not seen the child for thirty-one days. According to what Cindy told police dispatchers, Casey had given varied explanations as to Caylee's whereabouts before eventually saying she had not seen her daughter for weeks. [1]
Casey was charged with first-degree murder in October 2008 and pleaded not guilty. On the day Casey was sentenced for lying to investigators in the death of her daughter, supporters and protesters gathered outside the Orange County Courthouse, with one man who displayed a sign asking Casey to marry him. Casey later called police and falsely told a dispatcher that Caylee had been kidnapped by a nanny on June 9. [2]
