Bounty Hunter To Bond Out Casey Anthony


Saturday, August 16, 2008

ORLANDO -- A California bounty hunter and a bail bondsman are expected to come to Central Florida to bail Casey Anthony out of jail.

News 13 spoke with bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, and his nephew, Tony Padilla, who is a bail bondsman.

They said they'll be flying into Orlando International Airport around 4 p.m. Sunday, and will try to schedule a meeting with Casey's lawyer, Jose Baez.

They said they are hoping to post the $500,000 bond on Monday. The Padillas said they're doing this to "find the baby."

"We do not believe that the baby, that the 3-year-old is dead,” said Leonard Padilla. “We believe that she misplaced her, did something wrong, but we don't believe that she's dead. However, if it turns up that something happened, nothing is lost. Means she's gonna be under 24-hour surveillance."

Leonard has been in the business for over 30 years and said he is confident he can help solve this case. Casey has been in jail since last month on a charge of child neglect.

Anthonys Hire Spokesperson

According to the Associated Press, the Anthonys have hired Larry Garrison to be their spokesperson, and answer any media-related questions. The appointments come days after several outbursts from George Anthony against the media frenzy surrounding the case.

Garrison said he took on the case because he believes Caylee is alive, and said the media circus has to stop. “I've seen a lot of crazy things, but the spin here, I've never seen anything this crazy and blown out of proportion, and most definitely we all know that the truth comes out in the end,” said Garrison.

Garrison has worked on several high profile cases, co-authored a book on the disappearance of Natalie Holloway, and was a spokesman for the family of John Mark Karr, the man who gained notoriety for falsely confessing to the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
