Cindy Anthony\u2019s 911 call in the summer of 2008 was as upsetting as it was chilling. She said her granddaughter, three-year-old Caylee Anthony had been missing for 31 days. Her daughter Casey Anthony had also been missing, but now she was back \u2014 and her car smelled like it\u2019d held a dead body. Police rushed to the scene to interview 22-year-old Casey. But Casey\u2019s story was odd. She claimed her daughter had been kidnapped, and that she\u2019d been trying to find Caylee on her own. Police quickly caught Casey in a string of lies. She was eventually charged in her daughter\u2019s death.

She even created a sanitarium called Wilderness Heights, where her wealthy patients endured lengthy fasts, enemas, and violent massages.

\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
