ORLANDO, FL --  The Orange County Sheriff's Office released the 9-1-1 call the meter reader made back in August claiming he saw something suspicious near the Anthony neighborhood.
 
" I had the route today that includes the Anthony's home, " meter reader Roy Kronk told the 9-1-1 dispatcher August 11.  Kronk told the operator again by saying: "I'm telling you I saw something".

He lets a day go by and decides to try again but doesn't want to call the 9-1-1 center but instead the tipline to remain anonymous. 

Dispatcher: " You can do it regardless if you're a county employee. You can remain anonymous."

Kronk responds: " Not if they find a freaking body".

On the third day in August, Kronk insists on seeing a deputy so he can show the officer the exact location where he found something that could be related to the Caylee Anthony case.

The meter reader says "There is a swamp area where I saw something". 

As officals now know, what the meter reader saw in August turned out to be the remains of Caylee (photos). 

Legal experts believe that the defense will use the information to cast doubt with potential jurors.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, is behind bars.  Casey (photos) is charged with killing her daughter.  She says she's innocent.
