Casey Anthony prepares for the start of court in her murder trial at the Orange County Courthouse, Tuesday, in Orlando, Fla. Anthony, 25, is charged with killing her daughter Caylee in the summer of 2008.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The meter reader who found Caylee Anthony's remains is being questioned at the murder trial of the toddler's mother.

Roy Kronk discovered Caylee's remains in December 2008 in a wooded area near the Anthony family's Orlando home.

Casey Anthony's attorneys began questioning Kronk on Tuesday about an August 2008 visit to the same area when he thought he saw something suspicious in the woods. Kronk had called authorities three times over the next three days but they found nothing at the time.

Kronk returned to the area in December 2008 and discovered the bag containing Caylee's remains.

Anthony has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and could face the death penalty if convicted of that charge.
