Lee Anthony, the brother of accused child-killer Casey Anthony, took the stand this morning for the first time in his sister's murder trial and testified about looking for his sister and Caylee, as well as the foul smell coming from his sister's car.

Casey Anthony, 25, is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Marie in the summer of 2008.

He said that he and girlfriend Mallory Parker went to several downtown Orlando clubs looking for his sister after she failed to answer his phone calls and text messages that year.

He and his family had not seen Casey Anthony or Caylee for several days and were concerned about both of them.

. . .

Lee Anthony said he walked in through the garage and smelled the foul odor coming from his sister's car.

It was "very potent, very strong," he told state prosecutor Frank George.
