12-12-2008 Body Found Likely Caylee Anthony’s
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) — A dive team hired by Leonard Padilla, the bounty hunter who helped post Casey Anthony’s $500,200 initial bond, searched the waters of the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park Monday convinced they would find a trace of the missing girl. Then in the afternoon George and Cindy Anthony arrived and they were not happy.
In the midst of a dive search that bounty hunter Padilla’s crew was doing Cindy and George Anthony came out to confront Leonard Padilla.
The point of contention: a memorial service Padilla has planned for Caylee Tuesday morning.
Cindy Anthony did most of the talking. From a distance our camera caught what Cindy Anthony said. “It’s not 100 percent conclusive. You guys aren’t doing any good for Caylee…If you want to put divers in there fine… but you’re not holding a memorial service for my granddaughter.
The Anthony’s didn’t say much after their talk with Padilla except that they’re at upset Padilla’s planned memorial service. “To me it’s defamatory against us as a family…there is a little girl out there alive,” said George Anthony.
Padilla made it clear their talk didn’t change his plans. “Why’s she worried about this memorial service tomorrow? Would she rather think of her as not knowing where her granddaughter ended up…she ended up right here….her daughter put her here.”
Padilla decided to search the area after he received some information over the weekend that he contacted the FBI about.
A woman from Texas Equusearch found a cross on a tree in August hanging by the jungle gym at the park.
She took a picture of it. A woman who works for Padilla and lived in the Anthony home during Casey’s first ten days out of jail saw the picture and recognized the beads as similar to ones from an arts and crafts kit at the Anthony’s house.
When a search team looked in the area again recently, they found more beading on the ground under where the cross was hung.
Padilla says Casey mentioned J. Blanchard Park on three different occasions, and he says she may have dumped Caylee’s body into the water nearby.
Search teams find dead animal
On Monday, Equusearch crews entered a wooded area off 417 on a street called Sounderson and found several garbage bags filled with rotted food. The garbage bags were covering what appeared to be a hole created by a few trees.
When the bags were removed, an awful smell came out. Equusearch officials began shaking their heads. “You know how many times we search for one person and find another,” Mandy Albriton said who works with Equusearch.
Forensic detectives with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office were called and they ruled the remains to be from an animal.
Texas Equusearch not pulling out of search
It was supposed to be one of the biggest searches ever conducted by Texas Equusearch, but the turnout of volunteers was much lower than expected and there is still no sign of missing toddler Caylee Anthony.
Still, the search group says they are not giving up.
FOX 35’s Heidi Hatch asked Gary Peterson, the Deputy Director of Texas Equusearch, questions about this weekend’s search. She asked if the low turnout of volunteers were in any way related to the Anthony family’s lack of support.
“It would certainly be nice to have the help or the assistance of anyone that could possibly lend some information, or give some direction to help finding Caylee,” Peterson said. “Just because there is a lack of cooperation in any area doesn’t preclude our searching,” he added.
Peterson said the group still heads into each search with an object in mind whatever the outside influences are and attempt to find it.
A small group will continue a search today and Peterson said there are still a few areas they want to double check and others they want to search that they simply did not get to over the weekend.
“Texas Equusearch is going to be here, were not pulling out,” Peterson said. The main units are expected to leave within the week and head up to North Carolina.
Still, several volunteers in the Orlando area have been trained and will head up their own searches on the weekends and on their time off. “We’re going to stay in contact with them and hopefully can find something,” Peterson said.

Orlando Police completely incompetent
I see four clear violations of the law in this video
Trespassing – on their clearly posted property
Terroristic Threats – obvious
Assault – when you touch anyone in anger.
Yet the police leave every time “No charges were filed.”
