Only reinforces my opinion. I cannot believe anyone actually thinks the meter reader had anything to do with this. How many of us have considered contacting LE (some of us have gone through with it) b/c we found a link to a myspace page or had a brainstorm that we thought just couldn't go unreported? How many people had psychic visions, dreams or "feelings" that were so strong that they felt the need to call the tip line? Sure, some of them are crazy and I'm sure LE is overwhelmed trying to follow them all up, but how awful would you feel if it turned out to be right and you never called?
Here's a guy just doing his job, within earshot of the Anthony home, who sees a garbage bag at a known hangout and dumping ground of the local kids. He might have even heard the rumor about Kio telling LE to check it out. How could he NOT call? And then, after months of Caylee still not being found, the water finally goes back down in that area and he is reassigned to that route, who among us could resist walking back there to see if the bag were still there?
How many WSers and others travelled to help TES search? How many times did TES go back over the same area to make sure it had been cleared 100%? Are they involved somehow? Are they bad people or heroes? IMHO, this man falls into that category. I'll bet he was lying awake at night wondering if he had failed Caylee by not looking in that bag or letting a snake keep him and the deputy away. He probably wrestled with himself and talked himself out of going back a hundred times, until last Thursday he was too close for logic to win over his heart. Thank God he did, or Caylee might still be back there, unfound like so many others.
He probably wishes he had never heard of Casey Anthony. Just goes to show you what doing the right thing will get you in our screwed up society - Casey has Jayne W on TV kissing her butt and Geraldo bending over backwards to come up with excuses for her, while this poor guy is probably paying his lawyer and defending himself for being a citizen.
