METER READER 911 CALLS RELEASED
Three 911 calls released by the Orange County Sheriffs Office on Tuesday show that Roy Kronk, the meter reader who found Caylees remains, was very suspicious of the swampy area not far from the Anthony home months before the official discovery was made.
Kronk first called 911 about something in the area on August 11, 2008.

KRONK 911 CALLS: Aug. 11 | Aug. 12 | Aug. 13 | Dec. 11
MESSAGE BOARD: Caylee Anthony's Remains Found
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I noticed something that looked white and there was... I don't know what it is. I'm not telling you it's Caylee or anything of that nature," Kronk told a dispatcher.
Before hanging up that first day he explained why he thought someone should check it out.
"Once again, I have no idea what it was, so and I don't want to waste any more of the county's money, but I'm just telling you I saw something," Kronk said.
Deputies did go to the scene, but didn't find anything. The next day, Kronk called again to describe the area.
"There is a fallen tree that looks like someone tried to cut on it at one point," said Kronk.
Before hanging up with the dispatcher the second time, Kronk was asked to call Crimeline. Kronk said he didn't want to because he's a county employee.
"You can still do it regardless if you're a county employee. You can remain anonymous," the dispatcher said
"Not if they find a freaking body," he replied.
On the third day, August 13, 2008, Kronk called again and waited for deputies to arrive. Together, they didn't find anything.
Caylee wasn't found until December 11, 2008, when a final call was made to 911 by Kronk's boss after Kronk discovered a skull.
