A&E’s new clip from Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test features Casey’s dad, George, hooked up to a polygraph machine. George appears a bit confused and fidgety as he’s asked about Caylee Anthony’s body.
George and his wife, Cindy, agreed to participate in polygraph examinations in order to clear their names following renewed accusations by their daughter, Casey. The two-hour special featuring the lie detector tests will air on A&E and Lifetime on Thursday, January 4, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Casey Anthony’s Parents: The Lie Detector Test dives into the new accusations against George, the latest twist in a story that started with Caylee’s disappearance in June 2008 and triggered a nationwide media frenzy,” reads A&E’s synopsis.
“Caylee’s death was ruled a homicide when her remains were discovered in a wooded area near the Anthony’s home the following December. Casey was charged in connection with Caylee’s murder and, following a fiery trial, was acquitted of murder charges in July 2011, though the court of public opinion holds strong views that justice was not done for Caylee. Cindy and George Anthony have had a tempestuous relationship with their daughter with stunning accusations leveled by both sides over the years. As old wounds are ripped open again, will the polygraph tests finally bring closure?”
Retired FBI Agent George Olivo administered the lie detector tests. Olivo was a Senior Polygraph Examiner for the LA division of the FBI and has administered thousands of tests over the course of his lengthy career.
The true crime special was executive produced by Matt Sprouse, Erica Hanson, Sam Dean, and Lauren Ranzino for York & Wilder. Elaine Frontain Bryant, Shelly Tatro, and Brad Abramson served as executive producers for A&E.
