Bounty Hunter, Bondsman Work On Getting Casey Anthony Out Of Jail
Mom Of Missing Girl Held On $500,000 Bond
Leonard Padilla and his nephew, Tony Padilla, have said they will post the $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony. Leonard Padilla will put up his own money to bail her out in an effort to find out what happened to Caylee Anthony, Local 6 News reported.Leonard Padilla, who hosts a TV show called "Bounty Hunters" on National Geographic, is working with Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, who met with Casey Anthony late Monday night for about two hours at the Orange County Jail, Local 6 News reported.Leonard Padilla told Local 6 News that a special phone line has been added the the home of Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, which is needed for an ankle monitoring bracelet.Leonard Padilla and his team are working to clear up all of the bond conditions, some of which are undisclosed, currently preventing Casey Anthony's release from jail.Local 6 News has crews at the Orange County Jail and will report immediately if Casey Anthony is released.Leonard Padilla said last week that he is bailing Casey Anthony out to find out the truth about Caylee."We eat in the same room, sleep in the same room. After a while, these people feel better than sitting in a cell looking at the walls, and they will discuss things that they won't discuss with parents or anybody else," Leonard Padilla said.Earlier, threats against the family if Casey Anthony leaves jail prompted Cindy Anthony to consider the use of a safe house."Right here, I don't think is the ideal place for her not because we don't want her in the house and everything, but we may have to hole her up somewhere in a safe house," Cindy Anthony said.Over the weekend, Casey Anthony canceled a visit to see her brother, Lee, at the jail.
Bloggers Search Woods
Meanwhile, a group of Internet bloggers following the case have united and searched wooded areas of Central Florida for the child in a mystery that continues to grab the nation's attention.The group of bloggers scoured several wooded areas of Blanchard Park over the weekend for clues into the disappearance of missing Caylee.The group found what they believe may be items of interest; two colorful book bags and some clothing hidden in the woods about a mile from a location where a car belonging to the Casey Anthony (Caylee's mother) was abandoned."Everyone's heart dropped," searcher Wyatt Locke said. "This is the first time in our search that everyone unanimously was like, 'Oh my gosh, this might be something.'"A yellow sandal, a size-five pair of pants and a small tank top were also found in the woods.Sheriff's deputies took possession of the found items and were trying to determine if they could be linked to the case.The group plans to continue investigating the case."It is heart-wrenching," Locke said. "This is a little girl who has disappeared and been gone for two months. We want to help and want to find closure for this case. We are looking for anything. Anything and all that might give any type of information as to the whereabouts or what happened to her."Family Appoints Spokesman
