Caylee's Grandparents To Speak Out

The grandparents of Caylee Anthony, the Florida tot whose mother is accused of her murder, will appear Wednesday and Thursday in an exclusive two-part interview on The Early Show. It is their first interview since their granddaughter's body was found.

George and Cindy Anthony will talk with co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez on April 22 and 23, about the investigation into their granddaughter's death, and the timeline of events leading up to the arrest of their daughter, Casey, for the crime. The Anthonys also will talk about how their daughter is handling the prosecution's recent decision to seek the death penalty in her case.

Casey Anthony, 23, faces charges of first-degree murder in Florida.

Anthony has claimed that she left her 2-year-old daughter with a baby sitter last June and that she was kidnapped, though she didn't report Caylee missing for another month.

Cindy Anthony initially made the report to authorities that she hadn't seen Caylee for a month and that her daughter's car smelled like death.

Casey Anthony was arrested in October, as hundreds of volunteers searched for some trace of little Caylee.

A utility worker finally found Caylee's body in December in the woods near where she lived with her mother and grandparents.

Casey Anthony's trial is tentatively set for October.
