George Anthony got emotional while taking a lie detector test about his granddaughter's mysterious death.

A recently released teaser for the highly-anticipated true crime special showcased George — who was accused by his daughter of molesting both her and his granddaughter — "struggling" to provide a clear response when asked if he hid information about the little girl's whereabouts after she disappeared on June 16, 2008.

At first, George simply responded, "No," however, he immediately started to stutter, adding, "I mean, I-I didn’t know where she was at."

"Correct. That’s all I’m asking," Olivo responded, attempting to clarify the question while repeating, "so the question again — did you knowingly conceal Caylee’s whereabouts?"

"No," George said again, though he still seemed to have a hard time giving a clear cut answer.

"OK so you’re struggling with that one a little bit. Tell me why," the FBI special agent continued, to which George admitted, "maybe because it was so close to her house where she was found."

"You’re going to have to compartmentalize as you sit here right now," Olivo declared while asking the question once more.
