Pathological: The Casey Anthony Story — The Science of the Swamp — Ep. 3 | MK Confidential

About this episode

"MK Confidential" follows the case to trial. In her opening statement, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick doesn't start with chloroform or duct tape. She begins with the story of a little girl, walking the jury through every day of Caylee's short life before landing on the thirty-one days no one reported her missing. Defense attorney Jose Baez fires back with a name the prosecution never said out loud: Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylee's skull. Megyn sifts through the physical evidence piece by piece. A trunk that smelled like nothing to Casey's boyfriend— but smells like “death” to a tow-yard owner three weeks later, a hair traced back to someone from Caylee's maternal line inside that trunk, and an online search about how to make chloroform. Meanwhile, three medical examiners looking at the same skull, are unable to agree on whether that tape held Caylee's jaw in place or was never holding anything at all. By the time the state rests, it has built a case on a mother's lies stacked one on top of another — leaving the defense one afternoon to explain them away.
