Pour a drink and settle in. In Part 1 of our three-part series, we dive into the beginning of one of the most controversial true crime cases in modern history: Casey Anthony. We walk through the early timeline, the lies that raised red flags, and the details that first captured national attention—while sipping our beers and unpacking what actually happened before the case exploded in the media. This is where the story starts, and nothing is as simple as it seems.

Grab a brew and follow the clues.
