Who is Casey Anthony and why is she controversial?

Narrator 0:00
So this woman just joined TikTok and she might already be the most hated TikToker in TikTok history. Let me explain. So her name's Casey and Casey is unemployed, living in Florida with her parents. And one day in 2005, life drops a bomb on her. She's pregnant. Now, why is this a problem for Casey? Well, not only is she unemployed, but she's also only 19 years old. She ain't ready for all this.

What was Casey Anthony's life like before the disappearance of her daughter?

Narrator 0:28
So she decides, oh, I'll just give the baby up for adoption. But Casey's mom, who we'll just call Casey's mom, Casey's mom says, absolutely not. So Casey has the baby and she keeps her. And the baby's name is Baby Kaylee. So now Casey and Baby Kaylee live at home with Casey's parents. But here's where we run into problems. According to Casey's friends, Casey is a little jealous that all her friends get to be normal 19 year olds and get to go out and party and stuff while Casey is stuck at home taking care of a baby. So then over the next few years, Casey starts lying to her parents about having a job. She'll tell them, oh, I got to go to work. And her mom will watch baby Kaylee while Casey leaves and goes off to party with her friends. These are actually some pictures of her partying. There's another picture of her partying. You get the idea. And to keep up the lie to her parents that she has a job, she starts stealing from people, from her friends, from her family. She's taking money from her mom's purse.

She's forging checks, all kinds of stuff. Plus, she keeps making up lies to get other people to babysit for her. I mean, she clearly no longer wants to be a parent. And eventually, she unfortunately gets her wish. Because it's now 2008. And one day, Casey tells her parents she's going on some work trip and that she's going to leave baby Kaylee with a nanny.

How did Casey Anthony's parents react to her behavior?

Narrator 1:55
And this all seems pretty normal behavior from her at the time. But then, Casey suddenly just... disappears like she doesn't come home and her parents haven't seen her in a while and they start to get a really bad feeling that something terrible happened then a month goes by and Casey's parents get a letter saying the car Casey had been driving was impounded So Casey's dad, who we'll just call Casey's dad, her dad goes to pick it up. And when he gets to the impound lot, something immediately is very wrong. Because there's a really strong odor coming from the trunk of the car. And there's nothing of importance in the trunk right now, but it smells like there had been a body in there. Now, at some point during all this, Casey finally comes home, and baby Kaylee is not with her. And that is when Casey's mom freaks out and calls the police.
My daughter was missing for a month. I just found her today, but I can't find my granddaughter. She just admitted to me that she's been trying to find her herself. There's something wrong. I found my daughter's car today, and it smells like there's been a dead body in the damn car.

What led to Casey Anthony's arrest?

Narrator 3:04
And so police bring Casey in and they question her and she tells them, oh, I left Kaylee with a babysitter and the babysitter must have taken her. Her name is Zanny the Nanny. And police are like, your daughter's been missing for 31 days? Why didn't you call us? And she tells them, oh, I've been doing my own research. And so they ask her where Zanny the Nanny lives. And Casey takes them to an apartment building and points at an apartment and is like, she lives there in that apartment. But when police look in the windows, the apartment is completely empty. And not only is it currently empty, but no one had lived there for five months. And no one by the name of Zanny the Nanny had ever lived there. Because Casey never even had a nanny. She lied.
Narrator 3:52
And so, bam, police arrest her. Here's her mugshot. But the story's not over because we got to get to why TikTok hates her so much. So anyway, this story immediately blows the up like it's dominating the news, not just in Florida, but nationwide. Every news outlet is talking about it. People want to know what happened to baby Kaylee.
