New York, NY - December 7, 2023 - The tragic death of two-year-old Caylee Anthony in 2008 shocked the nation and tore the Anthony family apart. In response to Casey Anthony's recent accusations against her father, George and Cindy Anthony agree to undergo polygraph tests on-camera to answer lingering questions about George's involvement in Caylee's death in the new special, "Casey Anthony's Parents: The Lie Detector Test," which will simulcast on A&E and Lifetime on Thursday, January 4th at 9pm ET/PT. The two-hour film is produced by York & Wilder and features new interviews with George and Cindy by journalist Tony Harris.

Casey Anthony's explosive accusations that her father molested Casey and Caylee and that he is responsible for Caylee's death, prompted George and Cindy's decision to undergo lie detector tests. Their real-time responses to the polygraph questions are laid bare in the documentary along with each spouse's reaction to the other's answers and the lie detector results.

"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. 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?
