Yesterday, I outed myself on another thread here by explaining my connection to TES and Tim Miller, and also my personal commitment to the effort to find little Caylee. Here is the significant part of that post:
I am a member of TES's Board; I'm TES's largest financial contributor; and Tim Miller is a dear friend. I am so committed to finding Caylee that this year I contributed enough to finance more than half the total cost of all our (TES's) searches for Caylee prior to November.
However, my contributions were nothing compared to the WSleuths who donated money they could scarcely afford or who were waiting for their Social Security checks to arrive so they could donate again. God, I was totally humbled by this kind of generosity and willingness to sacrifice. I used to call Tim at night and read him some of those posts. He would get choked up (which I'd never heard happen prior to the Blanchard Park fiasco.)
If you can believe that, then you'll be able to understand how horrible I felt when these same people felt they'd been swindled by TES and only Leonard had come through for them.
I didnt tell you in that message that Tim has kept up with many of the threads and posts here, including some that were understandably painful for him to read . You would be surprised at how impressed hes always been with you herewith your dedication to separating fact from fiction, your willingness to commit your time and your considerable talents and to one united goal: Getting at the truth of what happened to Caylee. FWIW, I was with him in October at our Orlando hotel when another TES member handed him a printout of your map and cell phone pings. He wasnt just impressed, he was also delighted. He showed it to LE and we used it!
Early this morning, shortly before the media got wind of the possible discovery of Caylees body, Tim phoned me to tell me the news, along with the fact that (officials name withheld by me) said theyre sure its Caylee. I replied that everyone at WS was going to be beyond excited when they finally heard all that. Tim replied, Go ahead and tell them. They deserve to be the first to know.
Unfortunately, I couldnt get on our darned website in time to break the news to you, or to confirm that no matter what LE says publicly, Tim said to tell you, dont fretit is Caylee.
I just spoke to him again this afternoon, and explained I couldnt get on WS site in time to give you this mornings news. Hes going to continue keeping me informed about anything he learns in Orlando so that I can post it hereexclusively for you.
In the meantime, he said to tell you this: Months ago, TES did attempt to search the area where Caylees remains were found even though the area was mostly under water. In fact, he borrowed a special four wheel ATV offered to us by a helpful citizen, which was then driven through what appeared to be shallow water. And sank out of sight!
As you know, the one risk that trained searchers cannot take is that of damaging or destroying the very evidence theyre trying to recover. Tim said that if the plastic bag found today had been trampled by one of our horses, or run over by the ATV, the bag would have ruptured and the contents exposed and scattered, possibly/probably never to be found. Hes relieved that he called of the search of that area when he did or todays discovery might never have happened.
He also said to remind you (half-jokingly) that he was right about at least one other thing: Caylees remains were not in the river at Blanchard Park. 
Oh, and in case youre wondering about the ATV that was ruined when it sank, we naturally had to pay the owner for it--$10,000.
Thats all for now. Hopefully I will have other information to give you as the hours pass, and that Ill be able to access our site when I do.
Tim sends his gratitude along with this message, and a request that you take just a moment to say a prayer for George and Cindy.
Hey, if he can forgive them, we certainly should be able to as well. (This comment is mine, not Tims.) Im working on it, but my heart isnt as open as his, I fear.
but fortunately had the livestream from Ch. 9 (another thanks!)
