TRUE CRIMECasey Anthony's Dad 'Struggles' to Answer Question About Granddaughter Caylee's Remains During Lie Detector Test
Did George Anthony pass his lie detector test? We haven't found out just yet, but by the looks of it — things didn't seem to go as planned.
In an upcoming two-hour special titled, Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test, airing simultaneously on A&E and Lifetime on Thursday, January 4, Casey Anthony father's videotaped polygraph test will attempt to unveil answers about the infamous, unsolved death of 2-year-old Caylee Anthony more than 15 years ago.
George Anthony got emotional while taking a lie detector test about his granddaughter's mysterious death.
A recently released teaser for the highly-anticipated true crime special showcased George — who was accused by his daughter of molesting both her and his granddaughter — "struggling" to provide a clear response when asked if he hid information about the little girl's whereabouts after she disappeared on June 16, 2008.
Caylee was missing for five months before her remains were discovered by a meter reader, who found a garbage bag with a skull inside of it while trying to relieve himself in the woods near Casey and he daughter's home.
The skull had duct tape stretched over the jaw area, and was found alongside linens and clothing from the toddler's bedroom.
During the preview, FBI Special Agent George Olivo — the chosen administrator of the lie detector test — asked: "Did you knowingly conceal Caylee’s whereabouts?"
Caylee Anthony blames her father, George, for the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008.
At first, George simply responded, "No," however, he immediately started to stutter, adding, "I mean, I-I didn’t know where she was at."
"Correct. That’s all I’m asking," Olivo responded, attempting to clarify the question while repeating, "so the question again — did you knowingly conceal Caylee’s whereabouts?"
"No," George said again, though he still seemed to have a hard time giving a clear cut answer.
"OK so you’re struggling with that one a little bit. Tell me why," the FBI special agent continued, to which George admitted, "maybe because it was so close to her house where she was found."
Caylee Anthony was just 2 years old went she went missing in June 2008. Her remains were found five months later.
