Hi all. I do not think we should jump to any conclusions about the meter reader or about LE as we are not completely informed of all the evidence that is available.
It has been suggested that he had called Crime Stoppers tips line and NOT 911 on those August 11, 12 and 13 dates, so it is possible that he WAS interested in the reward money or in my opinion he would have dialed 911 direct. That does not mean that there is anything "bad" about him, just that as an ordinary citizen he was lured by the large reward to call the "tips" line associated with that reward.
I do not feel that LE dropped the ball here. You keep hearing everyone say that Fay did not rear her ugly head until late August, but the fact of the matter, June and July were unseasonably wet in that area and the woods in question were already inundated with water by the time ANY searches began.
Tim Miller has clearly stated publicly that they were IN this area searching and it was waist high water and that is exactly why he called off the search-to avoid destroying Caylee's remains if they WERE there, unseen beneath the murky waters.
Obviously as the pattern of the bones is indicative of, these remains rose with the waters and then as the waters receded the remains were dispersed in a pattern that basically made a trail of bones.
This area had just begun to become dried out about a week before this meter reader made his gruesome discovery, so he was obviously biding his time and waiting for just that event to occur so he could go and get a closer look than he could previously...and what he found there was what he feared initially that led him to call that tip line on 3 different ocassions in August...little remains of a small child.
Thank goodness he was devoted for whatever reason, whether it was for the reward or for his own cusriosity. His devotion has brought this angel home where she can be afforded the sanctity of a proper and respectful burial and will not be left to rot by the side of the road in a garbage bag like so much refuse.
I tip my hat to the meter reader and thank him for finding this sweet girl and have complete faith that LE did not err whatsoever and that this is just more "spin" by the media spin-doctors to keep the interest of the public high.
