Where is Casey Anthony now? What does she do for a living?
In December 2020, Casey filed papers to start her own private investigation business in South Florida. Some people wondered whether her intention was to reopen the investigation surrounding Caylee’s death, but a source told People in 2021 that that was not the case. “That’s a closed chapter in her life,” the source said. “She’s not starting a company to get answers about Caylee.”
According to People, her business, Case Research & Consulting Services, LLC, is registered to a home in West Palm Beach owned by Patrick McKenna, Casey’s lead investigator on her defense team. Although Casey will be unable to obtain a private investigator’s license as a convicted felon in Florida, sources say she “wants to help other wrongfully accused people.”
At different points, Casey Anthony claimed she was making a movie and writing a book about her life.
In 2019, Casey explained to The Daily Mail that she was making a movie, which would be titled As I Was Told, in reference to an unidentified man’s alleged instructions to continue her life as normal after he reportedly found Caylee’s body in the trash.
She initially planned to release the movie by 2020. “It will make it clear that I had no part in Caylee’s death as far as how she died,” she said at the time. However, the film was eventually scrapped.
Then in March 2020, InTouch reported that Casey was writing “a detailed and definitive” book about her life and Caylee’s disappearance and death.
“She knows the book will be controversial and that no matter what she does she will face criticism, but she also feels she has a story that has never been told,” the source said. “Nobody else has lived it, so no one else can tell it.”
There have been no details of a potential publication date since, and it’s unclear if the project will come to fruition.
How long was Casey Anthony in prison?
Though Casey was found not guilty of her daughter’s murder, she wasn’t released from prison right away. The jury found her guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement and she was sentenced to four years in prison.
