ORLANDO, Fla. -- A $500,000 bond posted Wednesday night for the mother of a missing 3-year-old girl will likely allow the woman to leave jail Thursday as a national search continues for her daughter.

"(Casey Anthony) will be out (Thursday) unless the county adds more charges," well-known bounty hunter Leonard Padilla said. "She's going to her home with her parents, and hopefully somewhere down the road she’ll decide, 'Hey this is the truth of the matter, this is what happened.'"

Padilla and his nephew, Tony Padilla, traveled to Florida last week to post the $500,000 bond for Casey Anthony.

Padilla said he'd put up his own money to bail her out in an effort to find out what happened to Caylee Anthony.

"There were bondsmen from other companies that didn't want this to happen and they kept injecting themselves into the situation," Padilla said.

Wednesday night, bondsmen posted the bond for Anthony, Local 6's Louis Bolden reported.

"(I want to) get her name and face out there, and hopefully someone between here and Puerto Rico and New York sees the little girl, seizes the reward and they drop her off at the drugstore,” Padilla said. “They can have the reward.”

The process has taken many days because Padilla had to work in conjunction with a licensed agent in Florida.

Even though the bond is being posted Wednesday, Anthony will not be getting out of jail until Thursday.

The conditions of her home confinement are that she can only be released between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. in order to make sure she is fit for a bracelet and make sure the monitoring device is in place.

Padilla, who hosts a TV show called "Bounty Hunters" on National Geographic, has been working with Casey Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez.

Padilla told Local 6 News that a special phone line has been added to the home of Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, which is needed for an ankle monitoring bracelet.

"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.
