Very little is known about Casey Anthony's brother Lee following her headline-making trial in 2011.

Six years ago, Lee took the stand against his sister, and claimed she was keeping daughter Caylee from the family because she was a "spiteful b---h." He also described the smell of Casey's car as "offensive" on the witness stand, seemingly pointing the finger at his little sister.

Today, the Anthony family is back in the news thanks to Investigation Discovery's docuseries, Casey Anthony: An American Murder Mystery.

As expected, following Casey's acquittal, the siblings have remained estranged, but some important details about Lee have surfaced during and since the highly publicized trial came to an end.

Here are five things to know about Lee:

1. He was not invited to Caylee's birth

Lee was not at the hospital when his niece was born, after having discovered Casey was hiding her pregnancy from him.

"I was angry,” he said at the time. “I didn’t want to be there... They didn’t want to include me.”

2. Lee originally owned the car where Caylee's body was allegedly placed

Casey's older brother initially drove the infamous white Pontiac Sunfire that had stains in the trunk where prosecutors believed Caylee's body was transported. However, he denied the allegations, claiming the stains were there when the car was purchased in 2000.

3. Lee was accused of sexually abusing Casey

In attorney Jose Baez's opening statements, he accused Lee and Casey's father, George Anthony, of molesting the defendant.

Casey's former fiancé, Jesse Grund, also claimed that she was "groped" by her brother, saying, "She told me that at one point in recent years that she woke up one night with Lee standing up over her."

DNA results proved neither Lee nor George fathered Caylee.

4. The siblings do not keep in touch anymore, and Casey did not attend Lee's wedding to wife Mallory Parker in 2012. In her latest interview with The Associated Press, Casey also revealed she doesn't talk to her parents either.

5. Lee Anthony is a dad.

The Florida native welcomed son Parker Lee Anthony in 2013. It is not known if Casey has met her nephew.

George Anthony Killed Caylee, Convinced Casey That She Was Responsible, Disposed of Caylee's Body, and Framed Casey for Her Death In depositions taken in April 2011, Dr. Jeffrey Danziger, a psychiatrist, and Dr. William Weitz, a psychologist, revealed Casey Anthony's recollection of events. Casey told Danziger she was repeatedly sexually molested by her father, George Anthony. She told Weitz her father did everything from touching her inappropriately to sexual intercourse between the ages of 8 to 12. She also told Danziger she was inappropriately touched by her brother, Lee Anthony, when she was around ages 12 to 15. Casey told Danziger she slept with Caylee in her bed and locked the bedroom door. Casey said it was "in effort to protect her the way I didn't protect myself. I feared he'd touch her," referring to her father. "She believes George took Caylee out of the bed, had a sexual experience with her daughter, and in order to cover it ...

Pat McKenna: "It Was an Accident That Spun Out of Control and George Disposed of the Body" By CaseyAnthonyIsInnocent.com Do you remember Pat McKenna? Maybe not. This particular brief interview was never really widely covered by the media, as it didn’t “fit in” with their ongoing witch-hunt style coverage of the case. Pat was the lead investigator (defense side) in the OJ Simpson trial – and he got a phone call from Casey’s defense team on the day Caylee Anthony’s remains were found, December 11 th 2008. Having not followed the press reports and knowing very little about the case, Pat’s first move was a visit to the Anthony house where he met George and Cindy, and spent time in the bedroom Casey and Caylee shared. Here’s what he had to say: “The room was a shrine of pictures to Caylee, hundreds of loving photographs. I was stunned by the neatness and organization of the room and all the photos. It was this lovely room, like a young kid that has a ba...

Casey Anthony Tells the Associated Press: 'I Didn't Do What I Was Accused Of' By Josh Replogle March 7, 2017 Casey Anthony knows that much of the world believes she killed her 2-year-old daughter, despite her acquittal. But nearly nine years later, she insists she doesn't know how the last hours of Caylee's life unfolded. "Caylee would be 12 right now. And would be a total badass," she told The Associated Press in one of a series of exclusive interviews. "I'd like to think she'd be listening to classic rock, playing sports" and putting up with no nonsense. But discussing Caylee's last moments, the 30-year-old Anthony spoke in halting, sober tones: "I'm still not even certain as I stand here today about what happened," she said. "Based off what was in the media" — the story of a woman who could not account for a month in which her child was missing, whose defense involved an accidental dr...

George Anthony: Loving Grandfather, or Lying, Cheating, Child Molester? By Lee Loftand June 30, 2011 Defense Attorney Jose Baez went for the gold yesterday, asking George Anthony if he’d ever molested his daughter Casey. Of course, Mr. Anthony denied the allegation. Then Baez asked if he’d admit to the horrible act if he did indeed commit it, and he added the fact that life in prison would be motivation for not admitting to the unspeakable act. Again, Anthony denied the allegation. During this line of questioning, Casey Anthony’s image was also displayed onscreen. When Baez asked Casey’s father the question regarding molesting her, and he denied it, Casey shook her head slowly from side to side and tears filled her eyes. Now, it’s unusual to see Casey Anthony display her emotions. So this, to me as a former police investigator who relied heavily on reading body language, was important. George Anthony’s denial clearly struck a nerve with his daughter. Obviously, I...

George Anthony Explains His Suicide Attempt By Eryn Sun June 29, 2011 Casey Anthony’s father took the stand Wednesday morning seemingly admitting his belief that his daughter murdered 2-year-old Caylee. Casey is on trial for allegedly suffocating her daughter with duct tape, throwing her body in her trunk, and dumping her in the nearby woods. Caylee’s remains were found in December 2008. Defense attorney Jose Baez tried to provide reasonable doubt this morning by calling back George Anthony to testify. Baez hoped to show the jury the suspicious nature of George’s past statements. When asked to recall what he told investigators concerning how he knew Caylee’s body would be found in the woods, Casey’s father became defensive and accused Baez of taking his statements out of context. George Anthony previously worked as an officer in Ohio, and clarified on the stand that during his prior experience in law enforcement he smelled decomposition on occasion in the woods, house, a...
