In her first interview since being acquitted in 2011 over the death of her young daughter, Caylee, Casey Anthony met with the Associated Press as she protested against President Donald Trump at a Palm Beach rally. During the interview, Anthony said she still has her own questions regarding the death of her child.
In the interview, Anthony, now 30, failed to solve the second biggest mystery of the case, who was Caylee’s real father? She did reveal she’s been living with Patrick J. McKenna, the private investigator who worked for the defense in her murder case.

67-year-old McKenna, a West Palm Beach private detective, has a resume chalk full of famous clients. His most famous perhaps representing the defense as its lead investigator in the O.J. Simpson trial. Like Simpson, the Anthony case also ended with her acquittal.
An Associated Press reporter met Anthony as she protested against President Donald Trump at a Palm Beach rally. It’s unclear why Anthony agreed to speak to the AP. She later texted the reporter, asking that the AP not run the story. Among other things, she cited the bankruptcy case in which she has been embroiled since 2013: “During the course of my bankruptcy, the rights to my story were purchased by a third party company for $25k to protect my interests. Without written authorization from the controlling members of this company, I am prohibited from speaking publicly about my case at any time.” In addition, she said she had violated a confidentiality agreement with her employer, and remains under subpoena and subject to deposition in her bankruptcy case. Yet she had participated in five on-the-record interviews over a one-week period, many of them audiotaped. h/t ap
“Based off what was in the media…I understand the reasons people feel about me. I understand why people have the opinions that they do,” Anthony told the Associated Press. Still, she says she sleeps well at night. “I’m still not even certain as I stand here today about what happened.”
Caylee was last reported being seen on June 16, 2008. A month later, Anthony reported her missing. Caylee’s remains were found on December 11, 2008. Anthony was on trial from May to July 2011.
