George and Cindy Anthony Pass the Polygraph

Last Update on the Left - Episode 15 - Casey Anthony Revisi… · Jun 21, 2026 True Crime

George and Cindy Anthony agreed to take an FBI-administered polygraph on their A&E special to refute Casey's abuse allegations. Cindy told George beforehand she would divorce him if he failed. Both passed. Henry Zebrowski noted that passing while knowing everything was on the line actually made the result more convincing.

Where this was said

The Ashes, the Last Argument, and Cindy's Final Text

At 34:55 · chapter starts 34:10

Marcus Parks reconstructs the collapse of the Anthony family relationship. Cindy was surprisingly still in civil contact with Casey as late as 2016, when they met briefly after the death of Cindy's father. The final break came over Caylee's ashes: Casey demanded them, Cindy refused, and Casey threatened violence. In her final message to her daughter, Cindy sent a photograph of the garbage bag in which Caylee's skeletal remains were discovered, with the message 'You put her there.' Cindy has also said she plans to scatter Caylee's ashes before she dies so Casey can never claim them. The hosts briefly debate the legal technicality of whether Casey, as Caylee's mother, could actually sue for the ashes — with Zebrowski reluctantly conceding she probably could legally. George Anthony's parting words about his daughter sum it up simply: 'You blew it.'

The illegal wildlife trade and the drug trade aren't just parallel industries — they actively overlap. Smugglers force-fed cocaine to boa constrictors to evade customs, packed drugs beneath layers of live animals in crates with spitting cobras on top, and exploited the chronic under-resourcing of US Fish and Wildlife inspection teams.
