Speaking in a new, three-part series called Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies, Anthony said of the day her daughter was last seen: ...I was awoken by 'my father ' shaking me and asking me where Caylee was. ...That didn't make sense. She would never even leave my room without telling me. I immediately started looking around the house. I go outside and I'm looking to see where she could be.... In the clip, seen by People, Anthony then said she then saw her dad holding Caylee. She said: ...He was standing there with her. She was soaking wet. He handed her to me. Said it was my fault. That I caused it. ...But he didn't rush to call 911 and he wasn't trying to resuscitate her. I collapsed with her in my arms. She was heavy, and she was cold.... She added: ...He takes her from me and he immediately softens his tone and says: ...It's going to be OK.' ...I wanted to believe him. He took her from me and he went away.... Anthony says she went to stay with her then-boyfriend, Tony Lazzaro — but didn't tell anyone what had happened. And she said for the next month she ...genuinely believed... her daughter was still alive. ...My father kept telling me she was OK,... she claimed. ...I had to keep following his instructions. He told me what to do. I tried to act as normal as I could.... When asked if she believes that Caylee drowned in the above-ground pool, Anthony said no. And she said there was no ladder or way for her to climb up, adding: ...There's no way to explain that, unless 'George ' put her in the pool to cover up what he did.... People reports that during the interview, Anthony elaborates on allegations that she had been sexually abused by her father, George, and her brother, Lee.
