Casey Anthony Makes Rare Outing in New Hampshire

by

Casey Anthony was out and about in New England.

Four months into using social media, a 39-year-old woman (who was found not guilty in 2011 regarding the murder, manslaughter, and child abuse of her 2-year-old daughter named Caylee Anthony) infrequently emerged when spotted dining out in New Hampshire.

In images published by TMZ from an outing on July 9th, Casey could be seen wearing a sleeveless, almost backless black shirt and jeans, along with a short bob haircut. This was quite different from the long hairstyle she had in March. At the Seasons Tickets bar in Manchester, N.H., Casey was accompanied by a man with a beard who wore a black, short-sleeved top decorated with colorful flamingos.

During a recent dinner date, it was noticeable that Casey, who was convicted in 2011 for lying to investigators on four counts, made an appearance. However, this wasn’t her only recent exposure. In March, she caught people’s attention when she decided to join TikTok, stating that she intended to utilize her legal experience and notoriety to guide others through the complexities of the legal system.

As a seasoned professional with roots in the legal world since 2011, I find it crucial for my continued growth as an advocate to champion not just my clients’ rights, but also my own and my daughter’s. In this capacity, I wear two hats: that of a researcher and a legal advocate.

A well-known personality, who claimed during court proceedings that her daughter tragically drowned in the family swimming pool, has additionally started a Substack blog, frequently sharing resources and information on it.

She went on to explain, ‘The purpose here is to start getting reacquainted, if you will. On a personal level, as well as professionally. I aim to keep assisting individuals in finding their voice, providing them with useful tools and resources so they can identify the right places to seek help when needed.’

Reflecting on my purposeful journey, I find myself firmly rooted in a place of serenity, embodying tranquility.

In essence, I am like a beacon, shining brightly in the heart of harmony.

To revisit the events of Casey’s trial, as well as the explosive revelations presented in the 2022 documentary titled “Casey Anthony: Unmasking the Truth“, continue below…

Casey, the mother of Caylee, has always kept silent about the identity of her daughter’s biological father. In the series, she reveals that she got pregnant at the age of 18, following an instance where she was drugged and sexually assaulted at a house party.

Initially, Casey consented with her parents to conceal her pregnancy from acquaintances and work colleagues. As time went on, she admitted, it grew increasingly difficult to keep the secret even as it became apparent that she was pregnant. Later on, she mentioned that her ex-boyfriend Jesse Grund was Caylee’s father, but a paternity test eventually showed this wasn’t true.

Casey acknowledged that he had been dishonest with everyone. He went on to express his regret, stating it was a terrible thing to do. Essentially, he felt compelled to maintain a particular image or lifestyle for fear of being pitied and did not want his child to grow up thinking she was the result of something negative, which he wished to avoid.

During her 2011 trial, a claim made by Casey alleged that her father, George Anthony, engaged in sexual misconduct with her. This began when she was eight years old and continued until she turned twelve.

Casey shared that she had recollections of being mistreated, but it wasn’t until after her imprisonment following her arrest that more specific details resurfaced. She added that later on, she experienced vivid images and flashbacks, nightmares, and even seizures – all stemming from the traumatic events involving her father.

In the course of the series, Casey mentioned that since Caylee’s birth, she had always ensured her daughter wasn’t left alone with her grandfather.

In my expert opinion as a lifestyle advisor, it becomes evident that George, my dear friend Cindy Anthony, and their son Lee Anthony have chosen to decline interview invitations and remain silent on Casey’s numerous assertions. George has consistently denied his daughter’s accusations, both in legal proceedings and media discussions. Regrettably, he did not respond to TopMob News when they sought his comments about the allegations of abuse presented in the series.

On June 16, 2008, as I recollect, I prepared breakfast for Caylee but wasn’t feeling great, so I decided to rest. I took Caylee into the bedroom with me, turned on the TV, and we both lay down there. At that time, we were residing at Casey’s old family home, alongside George and Cindy.

Casey stated she dozed off for a bit before being awakened by her father asking about Caylee’s whereabouts. She explained that she panicked and searched for her outside, eventually moving to the side of the house where she found George holding a wet Caylee. “I could see him there with her in his arms,” Casey said, “and he gave her to me while blaming me, saying I was responsible, that I had caused this. Overwhelmed, I simply fell down with Caylee in my arms.

Casey stated that Caylee seemed heavy and chilly, while she herself was very upset. When George took Caylee from her, he quickly changed his tone and assured me, “Everything will be alright.” According to Casey, this is what he said to me. I desperately wanted to believe him because I wanted her to be fine.

In a brief pause, with tears streaming down her face during the interview, she went on to say, “I’m unsure how long I remained outside, I’m not sure where he went. He took her away from me and then disappeared. I believe he re-entered through the screen doors and returned into the house. I don’t know where she ended up. I have no idea what he did. All I want is for her to come back.

At Casey’s trial, George stated that he had no awareness regarding the circumstances surrounding Caylee’s death or participating in the disposal of her body. He asserted, “If what was alleged actually occurred, I would have taken every possible action to save my granddaughter.” Furthermore, he emphasized that he “was unaware of anything concerning Caylee’s fate” until she was officially declared deceased.

Casey expressed her feelings about people questioning her actions, saying something like, “They’ll ask, ‘Why didn’t you call for help? Why didn’t you tell anyone sooner?’ And I didn’t. ‘Why not be honest? Why not act differently a hundred times over?'” She acknowledged the burden of knowing she couldn’t save her child and continued to fail her after that event. “I kept failing her, again and again, because even though I was hurt, I still protected the one who harmed me.

Cut to footage of Casey talking animatedly to her father when she was in jail.

She remarked, “It felt as though I had undergone some form of psychological manipulation,” she admitted, “and it wasn’t until a considerable amount of time had passed that I truly understood the reasons behind it.

Subsequently, Casey stated that George instructed her to behave naturally, which is why numerous photographs were shared showing the 22-year-old seeming to enjoy herself during the month following this reported incident. “It wasn’t partying,” Casey clarified, revealing that she was assisting her then-boyfriend Tony Lazzaro (who declined the series’ interview request) with club promotion. Notably, none of the photographs depicted her holding a drink.

She communicated daily with her father, as she stated, and he consistently reassured her that Caylee was fine. In truth, for the entire 31-day period, she held onto the hope that Caylee was still living.

Despite being arrested on July 16, 2008, under suspicion of lying to law enforcement, potential child abuse, and obstructing a criminal investigation, Casey persisted in believing that Caylee, who she hadn’t seen for a month before her mother dialed 911 on July 15, was safe.

On December 11, 2008, the location of Caylee was discovered in a forested area, which was approximately one mile from the Anthony household.

If given an option to admit guilt in Caylee’s death and serve 20 years in prison while avoiding the death penalty, Casey, who is facing first-degree murder charges, declined this offer as stated by herself and her defense team members in the interview for Where the Truth Lies.

“She was not having it,” recalled attorney and now longtime friend Lisabeth Fryer.

In simpler terms, Casey said that he’d prefer to be wrongfully convicted and serve life in prison, proving his innocence all the while, rather than admit guilt for something he didn’t do. He confessed to lying to the police, writing those checks, and pleading guilty on each occasion. However, this was never an option he ever considered.

In 2010, she admitted her guilt for forging checks totaling nearly $650 by using her friend’s checkbook. As a result, she received a sentence equivalent to the time she had already spent in detention.

Casey indicated that she wasn’t aware that Jose Baez, her main lawyer, would disclose her accusations of sexual abuse against her father during his opening statement on May 24, 2011, in court.

She stated, “He never shared any information with me prior to our court appearance. In fact, he deliberately chose not to communicate with me, so that my emotions and reactions would be genuine and unscripted during the proceedings.

Reflecting on video clips of herself weeping during the televised hearing, she went on to say, “The emotions I experienced then, as Jose Baez revealed the abuse I had endured, were profound shame. It feels as if it occurred just yesterday. There will always be a piece of me that believes I’m not worthy because of what transpired. I feel inadequate, unworthy due to everything that has happened to me… as if I’ve been spoiled or contaminated. That moment is incredibly difficult for me.

On the very same day that Baez testified, George firmly stated he had never sexually abused his daughter.

In his initial remarks, Baez proposed the idea that Caylee might have accidentally drowned in the swimming pool and George concealed this, but Casey expressed doubts about this scenario in “Where the Truth Lies”. She stated that her mother had suggested this theory to Baez, who chose to pursue it.

In her own recollection, Caylee being extremely wet remained a puzzle that Casey couldn’t fully explain, she stated.

Concerning her father, Casey pointed out, “I’m not saying he committed murder, but what happened in the pool wasn’t an accidental drowning.

Authorities never viewed George as a suspect regarding Caylee’s demise. Throughout the trial and subsequent media interviews, he has consistently maintained his innocence, denying that his granddaughter drowned under his supervision or that he played any role in disposing of her body or concealing the truth about what occurred. He did not respond to TopMob News’ requests for comment on the accusations presented in the series.

In June 2011, as his client refuted the defense’s allegations during court proceedings, attorney Mark Lippman stated on behalf of George Anthony: “My client, George, has and will persist in asserting that he played no role in the demise of Caylee Marie Anthony or any subsequent actions taken by the defendant Casey Anthony, as depicted by the State of Florida in their case presentation.

After Casey was found not guilty, her lawyers felt elated, yet almost instantly began to worry about her future, both in the moments exiting the courtroom and throughout the years ahead.

Lawyer Dorothy Clay Sims, their forensics expert, expressed deep concern for her life, remarking, “We were genuinely worried.” As they glanced at one another, the shared thought was, “What are our next steps now?

As a die-hard enthusiast, I can’t help but share this chilling tale. Dorothy confided that they all faced ominous threats, and poor Casey was trapped within her borders. Her felony conviction barred her from obtaining a passport, leaving her no option to escape and lay low abroad.

Casey mentioned that her legal team provided both financial and emotional assistance during her efforts to rebuild her life. For a significant period, she resided with private investigator Pat McKenna’s family, and she remains employed by him up until now—primarily, according to her, focusing on conducting research for criminal defense cases.

In the show, Pat mentioned that for the past ten years, he hasn’t once found Casey telling an untruth, and over time, she’s grown very close to him, almost like a daughter.

Casey expressed, “If I were ever foolish enough to get married, he’s the one who’d accompany me on that journey. He’s been more like a father to me than anyone else ever has.

On January 14, 2019, I tuned in to an episode of Dr. Oz, where my parents were guests, following George’s severe car accident in November 2018. When Dr. Mehmet Oz inquired if our daughter had reached out, my father responded affirmatively, stating that she did make contact to check on my well-being, yet I couldn’t help but express skepticism at the time.

Casey scoffed, “No, I didn’t.”

Additionally, she viewed video recordings of Cayley’s funeral (apparently a first, as she was incarcerated during the event), and winced upon listening to her father’s eulogy.

The producer inquired if Casey had done everything possible to safeguard her daughter, to which Casey, with tears in her eyes, responded, “I believed I did. I made an effort. I shouldn’t have stayed [at her parents’ house] when I should have, the instant I discovered I was pregnant, I should’ve simply left.

Ultimately, the big question remains unanswered.

As a devoted follower, I acknowledged, “I won’t ever find complete resolution in this situation, but it seems that’s precisely what keeps others intrigued. Perhaps it’s the quest for closure that fuels their ongoing fascination with it.

She expressed her frustration with not getting the desired outcome – in this case, the return of her child – by likening it to an unsatisfying movie or reality TV ending. She stated, “I didn’t receive the ending I desired because I didn’t get my kid back. That’s the only ending I wanted. It’s something I will never have as a result of everything that happened.” To cope, she said, it hasn’t become easier but rather more difficult. Every day, she wakes up hoping that one day she would open her eyes and find her child right beside her.

Casey summarized his feelings as follows: “It’s tough to handle and even harder to endure day by day because no one can bring her back – ever. Not even when I find the answers I seek will it make up for the loss.
