Casey Anthony Wants To Have Another Child Eight Years After Acquittal For Murdering Toddler Daughter

Casey Anthony, the Florida woman who was acquitted in 2011 for murdering her 2-year-old  daughter Caylee Anthony in 2008, is reportedly wanting more children, a “very close” source told People.

“She knows she’s getting older,” the source said. “She feels like her biological clock is ticking…she’s not the young girl who everyone saw on trial. She’s in her 30s, wondering what to do next, and hoping that she can find some meaning in her life.”

Anthony, who currently lives in West Palm Beach, began dating a man last year, but the relationship ended according to the source. “Marriage, family, the white picket fence,” said the source. “In some ways, that’s very appealing to Casey. She’d want things to be less dysfunctional than the family she had growing up, but she likes the idea of stability.”

During the 2011 trial, prosecutors said that Anthony, then 25, killed her daughter Caylee in June 2008 by covering her mouth with duct tape and dumping her body in a wooded area. They said Caylee kept Anthony from a life of dating and partying and that was part of the motive behind the murder. The child’s skeletal remains were found a quarter of a mile from the family home, six months after she disappeared.

In 2017, Anthony told The Associated Press “If I am blessed enough to have another child — if I’d be dumb enough to bring another kid into this world knowing that there’d be a potential that some little snot-nosed kid would then say something mean to my kid — I don’t think I could live with that.”
