Caylee Anthony: Meter Reader Tried Three Times In August To Report Bag In Woods - Page 3
According to the sheriff's department, four months go by. No one's ever found Caylee Anthony's remains. The guy happens to be reading meters in the Anthony neighborhood. According to the investigators, last Thursday, gets to the corner, sees the woods down the street and decides, You know what? I'm going to go ahead and take a little break and take a walk through those woods and just whatever became of my tip, was there anything actually back there. And then in what has got to be the most shocking coincidence of the year, he actually discovers the remains he suggested police may find or deputies may find.
Of course, everything here is pertinent, whether or not these remains have been here five or six months and whether they ultimately will be identified as Caylee's. If both of those come true, then there's going to be serious questions raised (INAUDIBLE) Orange County sheriff's department as to why it wasn't until August 13...
VAN SUSTEREN: But that...
KEATING: ... Following the third tip from this guy, that they finally went thoroughly into those woods and not so thoroughly at all.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Well, that's a whole different issue. That's whether the police have done their job effectively, the way they're supposed to according to procedure. The more bizarre thing to me is why this guy in August is the one who gives the tip, and he's the one who actually finds it in December. And quite reasonably, I'm curious about that because the whole idea of the defense is whether or not somebody's moved it, move it, if, indeed, that is Caylee, and whether or not somebody else did something. So I mean, it's, like — it's more than just whether the police have followed up on a tip. There's a lot more to this.
The site was flooded in September when Texas EquuSearch was there, and when they came back in November the site had a fence around it. A volunteer said that searchers had attempted to canvass the area, a secluded place where Casey and her friends used to party, but the terrain was steep and full of snakes. The meter reader initially said that he found the bag when he went into the woods to relieve himself, but now it seems that he was possibly following up on what the police didn't seem to be able to. This time, instead of calling a tipline, he went straight to 911.
