Kronk Receives $5,000 Reward for Finding Caylee's Remains

Roy Kronk, the Orange County meter reader who found Caylee Marie Anthony's remains last month, has been given $5,000 from a local lawyer.

Kronk, who found the remains Dec. 11, received a check from Mark NeJame, who formerly represented Caylee's grandparents.

NeJame has said he received $5,000 for his involvement in the case, and he felt it was right to give the money to Kronk.

"He had done something good. It was only appropriate to do something good back," NeJame said this afternoon.

Kronk's attorney, David Evans, just released a statement confirming the reward and said, "Roy is very thankful that Mark NeJame has recognized his singular efforts in finding Caylee and hopes that this sends a message to others that kindness does exist for people who do the right thing in life."


Those that do the right things in life, such as finding a missing 2 year old's skeletal remains and turn them over to the authorities should not desire monetary rewards. Nor do those that "do the right thing in life" solicit to, then sell their story, or, as in Kronk's case, a picture of a rattlesnake in swamp land, to national networks for the highest bid. Wonder who twisted Kronk's arm to accept the reward?...my two cents
