CASEY Anthony shocked the world when she was accused of murdering her daughter.
Her parents Cindy and George Anthony have had to cope with the accusations against their daughter, as well as the death of their granddaughter.
Cindy and George Anthony still live in the family home they raised Casey in near Orlando, Florida.
Casey and her daughter, Caylee, also lived in the home.
Cindy reported Caylee missing on July 15, 2008, after Casey had left the family home with her for about a month.
During this time, the grandparents tried to speak with Caylee but Casey allegedly would not let them.
According to A&E, Caylee’s remains were found in a wooded area about a mile away from the family home.
Cindy and George initially stood by their daughter, hoping to get to the bottom of their granddaughter’s disappearance.
The grandparents were not considered suspects or to be covering up for their daughter during the trial.
However, Casey claimed George was with Caylee when she died.
George has denied this allegation.
Throughout Casey’s trial, her legal team alleged she was a victim of sexual assault at the hands of George.
They also alleged Caylee had accidentally drowned and George disposed of her body.
Neither of these accusations led to charges, but the stress and overwhelming emotions caused George to attempt suicide.
After the attempt, he said, “I guess I didn’t drink enough alcohol, I didn’t take enough pills.”
In a new interview, Cindy revealed she and Casey didn’t speak for years but recently started communicating sporadically.
Cindy says she’s never been the same since the trial.
In 2019, George said he wrote his daughter a letter hoping to open the lines of communication.
He had just been in a near-fatal car crash and said Casey reached out to him after.
In the letter, George told his daughter he was still her father and he loved her no matter what.
He hoped to see Casey in person and be able to move past what the family had been through.
