first, from fox at 3:00 the queens lawyers interrogating the meter reader. he is on the stand now. he the one who reported finding caylee s remains in the wood. casey anthony s lawyer suggested this man had the little girl s body for months and put it there himself hoping to get a reward. he called authorities three times in as many days back in august of 2008 to say he had seen something suspicious in the woods. and police found nothing. sevenners by the throughs found nothing. and video was taken there and it showed nothing. but, four months later in december, that same man says he returned to the area and says that when he actually scoffed little caylee s remains. the defense asking him of the first time he noticed something in the woods. did you see a skull, a human
employing that he would cash in on the reward, also, implying that, in fact, back in august he really did find kay let s caylee s remains but the deputies did not come, he takes them, hides them, and replants them, all hoping to cash in on the quarter million dollar reward but he never got the money because it was only if she was found alive. shepard: they grilled a volunteer searcher about the statement he thought the bones were moved. phil: most of that wooded area, 5- to 10-minute walk was searched by texas equusearch in the weeks after she was recorded missing. when the remains were discovered, december 11, one of the team leaders for ex-search told ex-search, i think they must have been moved there because i am sure our team searched that exact same spot

this was an accident that snowballed out-of-control? assumes fact not in evidence. the witness answer was nonresponsive and i want a clear answer. judge: answer yes-or-no, mr. anthony. witness: would you ask that one more time? you never told her this was an accident that snowballed out-of-control? witness: no. shepard: the defense insists caylee accidentally drowned in the pool and the grandfather covered it up but he denies that. but today, the meter reader used to spend time at her home and admitted meeting george anthony, and george anthony says he spent
