<p>Cindy Anthony, whose daughter Casey was acquitted in 2011 of murdering 2-year-old Caylee Anthony, says she has “never been the same” since the trial that tore her family apart and made them household names.</p>
<p>Cindy appeared on “Crime Scene Confidential” Tuesday night and was reunited with a crime scene investigator who helped find Caylee Anthony’s body, People <a href="https://people.com/crime/casey-anthonys-mother-cindy-has-never-been-same-since-daughters-murder-trial/?utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=news_tab">reported</a>. Cindy, getting emotional, told the host that she knew the crime scene investigators “didn&#8217;t want to leave until you found every single [bone].”</p>
<p>&#8220;It means a lot,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Cindy was interviewed by Alina Burroughs, who was one of the crime scene investigators on the case.</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t know how Cindy was going to react to me,&#8221; Burroughs told People. &#8220;I mean, I was a prosecution witness, so she could&#8217;ve seen me as someone who wanted to lock her daughter up. But she was very gracious. And I think in some ways, the interview gave her some closure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cindy said the interview that she and her daughter Casey didn’t speak for many years after the trial, but have recently started speaking again sporadically.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s hard for her to speak out about this case,&#8221; Burroughs told People. &#8220;She really went through hell and back, and she&#8217;s never been the same.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was Cindy Anthony who called the police to report her granddaughter Caylee missing, after the 2-year-old hadn’t been seen for 31 days and her mother, Casey, kept giving different reasons for the whereabouts of her daughter. When Cindy called 9-1-1, she said her daughter’s car smelled “like someone died,” but later said at trial she meant it as a “figure of speech.”</p>
<p>Caylee’s remains were eventually located in the woods behind the Anthony home, and Casey was charged with first-degree murder and lesser charges, including allegations she lied to police about a non-existent nanny and the whereabouts of Caylee. Casey was ultimately acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges, but found guilty on four counts of lying to police.</p>
<p>Though Casey was found not guilty of killing her daughter, last year, a juror in the trial said the case “haunts me to this day,” People <a href="https://people.com/crime/casey-anthony-juror-speaks-out-10-years-later-my-decision-haunts-me/">reported</a> in May 2021.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think of the case at least once, every single day,&#8221; the juror told the outlet. &#8220;It was such a strange summer. I knew that there was public interest in the case, but it wasn&#8217;t until after I was sequestered that I realized that the whole world was watching.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, however, the juror told People that he focuses more on Caylee Anthony.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every time I see her face or hear her name, I get a pit in my stomach,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;It all comes flooding back. I think about those pictures of the baby&#8217;s remains that they showed us in court. I remember Casey. I even remember the smell of the courtroom.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ten years earlier, after the trial, this same juror had told People that &#8220;Generally, none of us liked Casey Anthony at all.”</p>
<p>&#8220;She seems like a horrible person,” he added, “But the prosecutors did not give us enough evidence to convict. They gave us a lot of stuff that makes us think that she probably did something wrong, but not beyond a reasonable doubt.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also told the outlet that the acquittal bothered jurors at the time.</p>
<p>&#8220;And then we sat there for a few minutes and were like, &#8216;Holy crap, we are letting her go free,'&#8221; he said in 2011. &#8220;Everyone was just stunned at what we were about to do. [One of the women jurors] asked me, &#8216;Are you okay with this?&#8217; and I said, &#8216;Hell, no. But what else can we do? We promised to follow the law.'&#8221;</p>
