On July 15, 2008, Cindy Anthony was pulling weeds in front of her Orlando home when the Florida sun caught a piece of paper taped to her front door. It was a certified mail notice that had been sitting there for four days. The letter said a company called Johnson's had something waiting for her at the post office. Cindy didn't know anyone named Johnson. She handed the notice to her husband George, who said he'd pick it up on his way to work Monday. He didn't make it there until Tuesday, just before noon.
The letter informed them that their white 1998 Pontiac Sunfire—the car their 22-year-old daughter Casey drove every day—had been sitting in an impound lot since June 30th. This was a problem because Casey had told her parents she and her three-year-old daughter Caylee were in Jacksonville. George drove to Johnson's towing yard to find out what happened.

Show Notes
"MK Confidential" examines the story of Casey Anthony. It all starts with a certified-mail notice that sits unnoticed on a pink front door for days— eventually leading to an impounded Pontiac Sunfire with a stench oh-so-familiar to Casey’s former deputy sheriff father. George Anthony’s granddaughter Caylee hasn't been seen in over a month.
Megyn reconstructs the night Casey’s mother, Cindy, makes three separate 911 calls in ninety minutes — the first about a stolen car, the last about a smell she can't explain — all while her daughter Casey sits in the next room insisting Caylee is just fine. Casey takes detectives to an empty apartment, a job she hasn’t worked at in two years, and lies about having a nanny named Zenaida whom she says has Caylee.
Behind it all is a woman fluent in lies, a pregnancy nobody quite believed, and a mother who keeps choosing not to look too closely. This is Episode 1 of the Casey Anthony story.
