ORLANDO, Fla. – Celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla has inquired about purchasing the Orange County wooded lot where the remains of Caylee Anthony were discovered.
Padilla, who once helped Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, bond out of jail, left a message with the property owner and offered $50,000 to buy the land, he told Local 6 News. The property owner is currently seeking $89,000 for the lot.

Casey Anthony, 23, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in Caylee's death. The girl's remains were found in the woods, located near the Anthony family's east Orange County home, in December. Caylee was 2 years old when she was reported missing in mid-July, about a month after she was last seen alive.
Padilla does not have specific plans for the land but said he wants it to remain a memorial to Caylee.
Meanwhile, Padilla said his deposition next week in Casey Anthony's civil case has been postponed until May. Gonzalez's attorney, John Morgan, wants to depose Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, prior to deposing the bounty hunter, according to Padilla.
Gonzalez, who shares the same name as the woman Casey Anthony said she left Caylee with before they vanished, filed a defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony, saying she lost her job and her reputation was ruined because she was linked to the case.
Gonzalez is seeking $15,000 in damages.
