ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The dive team searching the Little Econ River around Blanchard Park say they located a
plastic bag with fingers and toes weighted down by bricks. 

A second bag with stuffed animals in it was also found.  The area has been roped off.
 
The divers were hired by  Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla and have been  combing the waters of Little Econ River to find the remains of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.

Padilla says the 30 to 40 divers were hired from Black Water Divers. There are approximately five divers in the water at the time, searching for any signs of the toddler. The dive team is specialized searching areas that are extremely dark, and they said they are going to search until they find Caylee.

Padilla says this is no longer a search, but a recovery mission.

Earlier this week, Padilla said he was no longer going to look for Caylee. He said that his work was done and he had no plans to return to Central Florida.

On Tuesday, Padilla said he gave the FBI evidence that proves Caylee was dumped into the river. He refused to detail what evidence he says he found.

Orange County authorities say a dive team's discovery in an Orlando river is not related to the Caylee Anthony case.ORLANDO, Fla. -- Divers searching for the remains of Caylee Anthony on Thursday said they discovered a garbage bag containing bones and toys in a river at an Orlando park, but Orange County authorities said the findings are not related to the missing girl case.

A team from Blackwater Divers led by celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla conducted the search in the Little Econ River at Blanchard Park in Orlando.

But Orange County sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said the finding was not related to the missing girl and the sheriff's office was not sending out its dive team.
 

It is not known if the bones were human.


"There's a couple of small toys in the bag. One of them is a clover-type shaped item -- green -- and we know that Casey was big on clover-shaped items. So I told them to shut it down and get the sheriff's office out here," Padilla said.

FBI agents inspected the items, Local 6 News reported.

"We came out here to find Caylee, but you don't want to find her," Padilla said while crying. "But that's the truth of the matter. We think we have."

Detectives Say Bones Insignificant To Caylee Case

Detectives Say Bones Insignificant To Caylee Case
Thursday, November 13, 2008 – updated: 4:08 pm EST November 13, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orange County Sheriff's Office investigators say bones found Thursday by dive teams searching for the body of Caylee Anthony have nothing to do with the case of the missing girl.

"There is nothing here at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Capt. Angelo Nieves of the Orange County Sheriff's Office (watch full statement).

Early Thursday afternoon, the dive team confirmed to Eyewitness News it had located several children's toys inside a plastic bag in the Little Econ River, including a plastic shamrock toy. The divers also claimed to have found three or four bones, but didn't identify whether or not they were human bones.

FBI agents and sheriff's office detectives arrived on the scene Thursday afternoon and sifted through the remains (images | video). Earlier, an FBI spokesperson had said the agency was "very skeptical" that the find would be related to the Caylee Anthony case.

Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who organized the dive search, said the bag appeared to have been weighted down by bricks. After the FBI and sheriff's detectives looked over the find, their attention turned to Padilla.

"Mr. Padilla has been requested to take part in a polygraph that will be conducted by the FBI. We believe it is an important thing to do," Nieves said.

Nieves then commented on Padilla's decision to inform media of the discovery before deputies.

"Law enforcement should have been the first call regarding this find, not the media," he said.

Cindy and George Anthony, Caylee's grandparents, remain steadfast in their belief that Caylee is alive.

"Stuff could've been planted," said George Anthony.

Cindy added that she thought all of Caylee’s toys had been accounted for.

"I've got a tip from Coral Springs, Florida that Caylee's alive," said Cindy Anthony. "I haven't hard anything from the authorities and when they come tell us something we'll deal with that."

Coral Springs police said they did not believe that tip was valid.

Padilla organized the new search in the Little Econ River (see map) because of a cross that was discovered on a nearby tree. Searchers have said they do not expect to find the child alive.

The group of highly-trained divers headed into the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park just after 9:00am Thursday (see images).

"Here's a dive team, they've got plenty, they're all experienced, ex-law enforcement, military," Padilla said.

The divers are part of Orlando-based Blackwater Divers. Everyone is volunteering their time. The group expects to have more than 30 divers search a 1-mile stretch of the river.

"This is an example of what they can find, down to little pieces of teeth, bone fragments, things like that," said Todd Bosinski, of Blackwater Divers.

The group used underwater communications and dragging large nets to scrape the river's bottom. But searching dark waters was just one challenge. The divers also dealt with several alligators.

"I've been certified for 26 years and it's the worst conditions I've ever dived in," diver Spyder Dalton said.

The divers planned on searching all day Thursday and, if they didn't get every part of their search area cleared, they planned on being back out Friday morning..

Police have examined the bags and found no human bones, fingers or toes as Padilla claimed, Allen said. Investigators quickly left the area.

Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Carlos Padilla (no relation to the bounty hunter) said police want Leonard Padilla to take a lie detector test, and he has agreed.

Carlos Padilla told FOXNews.com that the bounty hunter had informed police of his crew's alleged discovery.

"This is of no evidentiary value," the spokesman said after investigators examined the items.

Leonard Padilla initially claimed that divers combing the river around Blanchard Park discovered a plastic bag containing fingers and toes and weighted down with bricks, and another with stuffed animals inside on Thursday, according to WOFL's Web site, MyFOXOrlando.com. The area was roped off.

A diving course director involved in the search, David Badali, told FOX News Channel's Miami bureau that the bags found had bones, bricks, a green shamrock toy and another toy inside. He said they were discovered in 10 feet of water at about 1:30 p.m., the area has been declared a crime scene and the FBI was retrieving the items.

But Allen said no crime scene has been identified in the vicinity of the bounty hunter's search.

Leonard Padilla said that the 30 to 40 divers conducting the search (which requires only five in the water at a time) are from a company called Blackwater Divers and specialize in scouring extremely dark areas. He characterized it as a recovery mission to find Caylee's remains.

The bounty hunter called off his search earlier this week, but had a change of heart Wednesday night and said he'd continue looking for the toddler, who is presumed dead. He said he has evidence that she was dumped in the river, but declined to elaborate.

Orange County Officials Ask Bounty Hunter To Take Lie-Detector Test
Girl Last Seen In Mid-June

POSTED: 8:14 am EST November 13, 2008
UPDATED: 4:40 pm EST November 13, 2008


ORLANDO, Fla. -- Divers searching for the remains of Caylee Anthony on Thursday said they discovered a garbage bag containing bones and toys in a river at an Orlando park, but Orange County authorities said the findings were not credible, causing them to request the bounty hunter who led the search to take a polygraph test.

A team from Blackwater Divers led by celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla conducted the search in the Little Econ River at Blanchard Park in Orlando.

But Orange County sheriff's officials said the findings were not bones and the discovery was not connected to the case.

"Early on the afternoon of Nov. 13, 2008, divers associated with an independent search for Caylee Anthony reported the recovery of what they believed were bone fragments and other items related to the missing toddler from the Little Econ River on Jay Blanchard Park in east Orange County. Investigators assigned to the investigation into the disappearance of Caylee responded to the park and determined that the recovered items are not associated with the case.

"The sheriff's office remains focused on the primary mission at hand, which is to locate Caylee Anthony and continues to follow up on all viable leads and tips that are deemed to be creditable in their ongoing investigation," the statement said.

Sheriff's officials said they have asked Padilla to take a polygraph test, to which the bounty hunter agreed. The FBI will conduct a polygraph test with Padilla at a later date, Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said.

"There's a couple of small toys in the bag. One of them is a clover-type shaped item -- green -- and we know that Casey was big on clover-shaped items. So I told them to shut it down and get the sheriff's office out here," Padilla said.

FBI agents inspected the items, Local 6 News reported.

"We came out here to find Caylee, but you don't want to find her," Padilla said while crying. "But that's the truth of the matter. We think we have."

Padilla said he has believed for a while that Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, left the girl's body at Blanchard Park.

"When the detectives talked to her, while she was trying to convince them (baby sitter) Zenaida (Gonzalez) took (Caylee) away at the Sawgrass Apartments, she also mentioned that she had also come out here to see -- that afternoon at 5 or 6 -- if possibly Zenaida was out here at the park because Zenaida used to bring the girl to the swings," Padilla said. "When we got into town and bailed her out, the day after she was out, she told me that Zenaida had taken (Caylee) away from her right here in front of the swings at Jay Blanchard Park."

Padilla said Casey Anthony mentioned the name Zenaida together with the park about eight times.

Caylee's grandmother, Cindy Anthony, said she was ignoring Padilla's efforts. She said if, and until, law enforcement officials comment on any finding, she was concentrating on finding Caylee alive.

Cindy Anthony said she received a tip earlier on Thursday of another possible Caylee sighting. She said a caller reported a sighting at a McDonald's in Coral Springs.

The search of the river was the second in four days. A two-man dive team organized by Padilla searched the same river on Monday but did not find anything. Padilla, who held a prayer vigil for Caylee at the park on Tuesday, had said that he would be leaving Orlando after the service.

"Nobody else is doing it. Everybody left town," said Padilla when asked why he decided to lead another search. "We're bringing up the remains. We feel confident that the remains are there."

"The water smells, there's alligators, there's snakes, there's zero visibility," a diver said.

Caylee, 3, was last seen in mid-June but was not reported missing until mid-July. Casey Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in her daughter's disappearance.

Detectives Say Dive Team Did Not Find Caylee's Bones

Thursday, November 13, 2008 – updated: 5:57 pm EST November 13, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- For a few hours Thursday afternoon, searchers thought they'd found bones that could have been part of the remains of Caylee Anthony. But detectives quickly determined the evidence found by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla's dive team was nothing but sticks and mud.

The detectives also cast suspicion on the find by asking Padilla to take a lie detector test.

Early Thursday afternoon, the dive team confirmed to Eyewitness News it had located several children's toys inside a plastic bag in the Little Econ River (see map), including a plastic shamrock toy. The divers also claimed to have found three or four bones.

But Orange County Sheriff's Office investigators said, in fact, there were no bones and the bag had nothing to do with the Caylee Anthony case. Additionally, the shamrock toy turned out to be a Gumby toy.

"There is nothing ... at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Capt. Angelo Nieves of the Sheriff's Office (watch full statement). "Nothing that was discovered has been retained by the Orange County Sheriff's Office."

FBI agents and sheriff's office detectives arrived on the scene Thursday afternoon and sifted through the remains (images | video).


PADILLA UNDER SCRUTINY

Padilla, who organized the dive search, said the bag appeared to have been weighted down by bricks. After the FBI and sheriff's detectives looked over the find, their attention turned to Padilla.

"Mr. Padilla has been requested to take part in a polygraph that will be conducted by the FBI. We believe it is an important thing to do," Nieves said.

Nieves said Padilla had agreed to take the test and then commented on Padilla's decision to inform media of the discovery before deputies.

"Law enforcement should have been the first call regarding this find, not the media," Nieves said.

Padilla indicated he hadn't even seen what his divers had found.

"I don't know, I haven't seen any of it because they're over there and I'm over here," Padilla said.

When asked why detectives wanted him to take a lie detector test, he said, "They don't believe anybody about anything."

Tim Miller, the founder of EquuSearch, a group that organized a massive weekend search for Caylee's remains, was very critical of Padilla.

"What a disgrace to society this man is for doing this kind of stuff," Miller said.

Miller said during the weekend search, Padilla had begged Miller to use his own divers to search the river. Miller recounted the conversation, saying Padilla said to him, "Tim Miller's divers out here, news cameras out here ... think how much money we could make, Tim."

Padilla organized Thursday's search in the Little Econ River because of a cross that was discovered on a nearby tree. Searchers have said they do not expect to find the child alive.

The group of highly-trained divers headed into the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park just after 9:00am Thursday (see images).

The divers are part of Orlando-based Blackwater Divers. The group expected to have more than 30 divers search a 1-mile stretch of the river.

The group used underwater communications and dragged large nets to scrape the river's bottom. But searching dark waters was just one challenge. The divers also dealt with several alligators.

"I've been certified for 26 years and it's the worst conditions I've ever dived in," diver Spyder Dalton said.

The divers searched all day Thursday and it was believed they would be back to search again Friday.


ANTHONYS HOLD OUT HOPE

Cindy and George Anthony, Caylee's grandparents, remain steadfast in their belief that Caylee is alive.

"Stuff could've been planted," George Anthony said Thursday (watch full interview).

"He's crossed the line a few times, it's just Leonard," Cindy said. "From the time he stepped into Orlando off that plane, he said he's a media whore."

Cindy added that she thought all of Caylee's toys had been accounted for.

"I've got a tip from Coral Springs, Florida that Caylee's alive," said Cindy. "I haven't hard anything from the authorities and when they come tell us something we'll deal with that."

Coral Springs police said they did not believe that tip was valid.


CASEY'S ATTORNEY MAKES NEW DEMANDS

Casey Anthony's defense attorney made more demands Thursday in the case against Casey. Jose Baez says the jail is unfairly forbidding him from bringing his laptop computer into the jail to work on the case. He wants a judge to order the jail to allow him to do it, but the jail says that is against its policy.

Baez also wants all the paperwork associated with the forensic testing that the FBI did in the case and to personally inspect the hairs that the FBI tested.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The dive team searching the Little Econ River around Blanchard Park say they have found a bag that was tied down with two bricks with what appears to be bones fragments in it.

A second bag with stuffed animals in it was also found.  The area has been roped off.

Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's office and agents from the FBI responded to the scene.  The FBI went through the items that the divers found. The Orange County Sheriff's Office says the items found are not significant to the case and no divers from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office dive team will be sent to the area..

According to Todd Bosinski, the lead diver, who is leading, what they are calling a recovery mission for Caylee Anthony’s remains, says they have found a bag that was tied down with two bricks. He says that in that bag they have found, what appears to be bone fragments.  Although Bosinski is not saying weather it is human or animal.

Bosinski also said in an impromptu news conference that there was a Shamrock inside the bag where the bone fragments were in.   According to Bosinski, they also found a bag with little toys inside.

The divers were hired by  Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla and have been  combing the waters of Little Econ River to find the remains of missing 3-year-old Caylee Anthony.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office has requested that Padilla take a polygraph test. 

"I have no idea why," said Padilla.  "He (Investigator) simply came up and asked me and I said sure."

No date has been set for the polygraph test.

Padilla says the 30 to 40 divers were hired from Black Water Divers. There are approximately five divers in the water at the time, searching for any signs of the toddler. The dive team is specialized searching areas that are extremely dark, and they said they are going to search until they find Caylee.

Padilla says this is no longer a search, but a recovery mission.

Earlier this week, Padilla said he was no longer going to look for Caylee. He said that his work was done and he had no plans to return to Central Florida.

On Tuesday, Padilla said he gave the FBI evidence that proves Caylee was dumped into the river. He refused to detail what evidence he says he found.

Casey watching TV at time of diver’s discovery

Allen Moore, Public Information Officer for the Orange County Corrections Department, says that Casey Anthony was watching off air TV at the time diver’s discovered items in the Little Econ River. The station she was watching broke into programming to report what the divers had found.  Moore says when the correctional staff noticed the nature of the news coverage, they asked Anthony to return to her cell which she did without saying anything.

Caylee sighting being investigated

Investigators are looking into a lead in Coral Springs.  Michelle Bart, the new spokesperson for Kid Finder's Network , tells FOX 35 an anonymous tip came in saying a little girl that looked like Caylee was spotted at a McDonald's there.

Meet and Greet Saturday

Bart says she and the Anthony's will be on both CNN and Nancy Grace Friday night.  Saturday morning at the Anthony "Help Find Caylee" command center on Goldenrod Road between Colonial and the 408 at the Old National Guard Armory, Kid Finder's will hold its first ever "Meet and Greet" from 9am to 12.  They invite people to come out and meet the Anthony's, and get familiar with all the other missing children.   And then on Monday, Bart says they will hold a press conference where they will share with the public some information they have not yet shared about why they believe Caylee is still alive.  According to Bart, Lee Anthony will be there.  They have no time slated yet.

Cell Phone 'Dead Zones' May Hinder Investigation In Casey Anthony Case
Woman's Daughter, Caylee, Last Seen In June

POSTED: 8:27 am EST November 14, 2008
UPDATED: 9:32 am EST November 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Local 6 News report about Casey Anthony, the woman who has been charged with murdering her missing daughter, Caylee, shows that "dead zones" on her cell phone may hurt the investigation into the case.
PHOTOS: Dive Search, Confrontation
PHOTOS: Prayer Vigil For Caylee
PHOTOS: Casey Baby Photos
Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, who was last seen on June 16 but was not reported missing until a month later.

Local 6 News investigative reporter Tony Pipitone analyzed hundreds of text messages and phone calls placed and received by Anthony in the two weeks after Caylee disappeared and used a database program to determine how much time passed between each ping.

There were 24 times when three or more hours passed with 

Anthony's phone remaining silent, Pipitone reported.


"And when you account for sleep and periods where she appeared to stay in the same place, we are left with three gaps -- or dead zones -- that raise some questions," Pipitone said.

The first "dead zone" was June 17 from 5:23 p.m. to 8:23 p.m. Anthony's phone pinged a tower close to her boyfriend's apartment near the University of Central Florida and then twice pinged a tower near Blanchard Park before going silent. The park was searched but nothing was found. In the time it took Anthony's phone to ping another tower -- three hours later -- she could have traveled as far away as Palm Bay or Ormond Beach and returned to Orange County.

June 17 was a day after Caylee was seen alive by her grandfather, George Anthony, who said his daughter and Caylee left his home at about 12:50 p.m. the day before.

Scientific evidence suggests that human remains that decomposed in the trunk of Anthony's car was there for up to 2½ days after death, Pipitone said. That would mean if Caylee died on June 16, investigators may want to focus more on June 18 into June 19, which contained two dead zones on her cell phone, he reported.

On June 18, Anthony's phone went silent at 6:57 p.m. and did not ping another tower until 8:32 a.m. June 19. In both cases, her phone pinged a tower near her boyfriend's apartment. Her whereabouts during that time is not known.

On June 19, Anthony's phone pinged near her boyfriend's apartment at 4:54 p.m., then her movements head south and east, according to cell phone pings, Pipitone said. "Heading east and hitting (a) cell tower on Lake Underhill Road ... but from here, her cell phone goes dead for three hours and 17 minutes. Where could she have gone in that time?" Pipitone said.

The last ping from the Lake Underhill tower was at 5:45 p.m., and the phone then went silent until a ping near her boyfriend's apartment. She then called her parents' home at 9:13 p.m., and there's no indication where Anthony was during the time frame.

"If this is the time Casey may have disposed of the body in her car trunk, there's no indication where Caylee may be either," Pipitone said.

Bounty Hunter To Take Polygraph Test

Meanwhile, divers searching for the remains of Caylee on Thursday said they discovered a garbage bag containing bones and toys in a river at an Orlando park, but Orange County authorities said the findings were not credible, causing them to request the bounty hunter who led the search to take a polygraph test.

A team from Blackwater Divers, led by celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, conducted the search in the Little Econ River at Blanchard Park in Orlando.

But Orange County sheriff's officials said the findings were not bones and the discovery was not connected to the case.

"Early on the afternoon of Nov. 13, 2008, divers associated with an independent search for Caylee Anthony reported the recovery of what they believed were bone fragments and other items related to the missing toddler from the Little Econ River on Jay Blanchard Park in east Orange County. Investigators assigned to the investigation into the disappearance of Caylee responded to the park and determined that the recovered items are not associated with the case.

"The sheriff's office remains focused on the primary mission at hand, which is to locate Caylee Anthony and continues to follow up on all viable leads and tips that are deemed to be creditable in their ongoing investigation," the statement said.

Sheriff's officials said they have asked Padilla to take a polygraph test, to which the bounty hunter agreed. The FBI will conduct a polygraph test with Padilla at a later date, Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said.

"There's a couple of small toys in the bag. One of them is a clover-type shaped item -- green -- and we know that Casey was big on clover-shaped items. So I told them to shut it down and get the sheriff's office out here," Padilla said.

FBI agents inspected the items, Local 6 News reported.

"We came out here to find Caylee, but you don't want to find her," Padilla said while crying. "But that's the truth of the matter. We think we have."

Padilla said he has believed for a while that Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, left the girl's body at Blanchard Park.

Padilla Agrees To Polygraph Test As Search Resumes

Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 10:17 am EST November 14, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- The search for Caylee Anthony's remains got underway once again at Blanchard Park in East Orange County on Friday morning. Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is heading the search with a team of volunteer divers even though he's facing an FBI lie detector test.

Padilla had everyone up in arms Thursday over claims that divers found bones in a bag in the Little Econ River (see map), but detectives quickly determined the evidence found by the bounty hunter's dive team was nothing but sticks and mud. Despite the chaos, Padilla says he's not giving up on his search for Caylee's remains.

As long as these fellas are willing to go down there and look, I'm going to stand here, not go back to Sacramento and leave them out here in the middle of the water. As long as they are willing to go down there I'm going to stick around," he said.

Early Thursday afternoon, the dive team confirmed to Eyewitness News it had located several children's toys inside a plastic bag in the Little Econ River, including a plastic shamrock toy. The divers also claimed to have found three or four bones. Padilla said the bag appeared to have been weighted down by bricks (images | video).

But Orange County Sheriff's Office investigators said, in fact, there were no bones and the bag had nothing to do with the Caylee Anthony case. Padilla indicated he hadn't even seen what his divers had found.

"I don't know, I haven't seen any of it because they're over there and I'm over here," Padilla said.

Additionally, the shamrock toy turned out to be a Gumby toy.

"There is nothing at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Captain Angelo Nieves of the Sheriff's Office (watch full statement). "Nothing that was discovered has been retained by the Orange County Sheriff's Office."

When word got out of a possible discovery in the case, people rushed to Blanchard Park to see for themselves what divers had found.

"It's affected everybody. It's like a rollercoaster. It's got to stop somewhere, it's got to stop," said spectator Lois Peter.

Over 150 onlookers surrounded the scene and most said they were frustrated to learn the discovery was not connected to Caylee after all.

It is the third time that Padilla has organized a water search in the Little Econ River. Todd Bosinski is the owner of Blackwater Divers and organizing the dive team.

"We are going down, doing grid patterns and searching the bottom again to see if we can find anything else," said Bosinski.

The divers began Friday's search at 9:00am.


FOCUS TURNS TO PADILLA

After the FBI and sheriff's detectives looked over the find, their attention turned to Padilla.

"Mr. Padilla has been requested to take part in a polygraph that will be conducted by the FBI. We believe it is an important thing to do," Nieves said.

"It's meaningless, I have no problem with a lie detector test," Padilla told Eyewiness News (watch full interview).

Nieves also commented on Padilla's decision to inform media of the discovery before informing deputies.

"Law enforcement should have been the first call regarding this find, not the media," Nieves said.

Eyewitness News also talked with the attorney for Cindy and George Anthony, Mark Nejame, who has been critic of Padilla's role in the search.

"I would speculate that they have some questions about the integrity of the items that were found," Nejame said.

Nejame added that he is not surprised that Padilla has been asked to take a polygraph test. He said that is reason enough to doubt his motives.


ANTHONYS REACT TO PADILLA SEARCH RESULTS

A furious Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness news that Leonard Padilla knew right away that the items pulled from the water weren't related to her granddaughter's case, despite the display he put on for the cameras (watch full interview).

Cindy is adamant that Padilla put on a show for the media because someone in his crew sent her a text message right away to tell her it wasn't Caylee's remains that were found.

"He's said it's been about Caylee, but obviously his true colors are truly shown," Cindy said.

Padilla claims a cross found in the park could've been made with materials seen in Casey's room, but the Anthonys said he knew the sheriff's office had already ruled that out because they learned it was part of a memorial left for Nicole Ganguzza, the jogger murdered this summer.

"Someone's exploiting our family, exploiting our granddaughter, and that's wrong," George Anthony said.


EQUUSEARCH FOUNDER CLAIMS PADILLA TALKED ABOUT PROFIT

EquuSearch founder Tim Miller claims that Leonard Padilla talked about how they both could make money if they found Caylee's body. However, when the two men appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace show Thursday night, Padilla remembered the conversation very differently.

"I begged Tim to send his divers down because we only had one. I asked him on Sunday and I even went back by his headquarters and asked him, 'Please Tim, we can't pass up this opportunity if you've got the divers,'" Padilla told Nancy Grace.

Padilla went on to say the conversation ended with both men agreeing to send divers into the lake, but he said Miller's dive team never showed up last Monday.

Tim Miller, the founder of EquuSearch, a group that organized a massive weekend search for Caylee's remains, was very critical of Padilla.

"What a disgrace to society this man is for doing this kind of stuff," Miller said.

Miller said during the weekend search, Padilla had begged Miller to use his own divers to search the river. Miller recounted the conversation, saying Padilla said to him, "Tim Miller's divers out here, news cameras out here ... think how much money we could make, Tim."

Casey Anthony's defense team will be examining her car, which investigators said once held a decomposing body, for the first time this morning.

Attorney Jose Baez and a forensic expert are expected to arrive at the Orange County Sheriff's Office shortly.

Deputies believe Anthony's Pontiac Sunfire once held a decomposing body. Investigators found a suspicious stain in the trunk and a smell associated with rotting flesh. Tests also showed traces of chloroform.

Baez was given permission to examine the car after Orange County Circuit Judge Stan Strickland granted a motion to allow him to have access to the vehicle and conduct his own tests.



Anthony's car has been stored in a garage at the sheriff's office since July when she was first arrested. Her mother, Cindy Anthony, told deputies the car smelled like there had been a dead body in the car.

Caylee Marie has been missing since June. Investigators think the toddler is no longer alive.

Anthony is facing a slew of charges, including first-degree murder.

Divers Resume Search For Caylee Anthony
Plastic Bag Found Thursday Won't Help Investigators

POSTED: 6:22 am EST November 14, 2008
UPDATED: 9:29 am EST November 14, 2008


ORLANDO, Fla. -- A search for clues in the Caylee Anthony disappearance resumed at Blanchard Park after a major false alarm on Thursday.

Dive teams hired by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla (Padilla says the volunteered) announced they had found a plastic bag that was weighed down in the Little Econlockhatchee River.

The bag was said to have contained children's toys, bone fragments and a shamrock. Casey Anthony, who is Caylee's mother, is known to love shamrocks.

But investigators said the bag only contained rocks and a plastic Gumby doll. Detectives dismissed the findings and publicly scolded Padilla.

Authorities then asked Padilla to stop the search and take a lie-detector test. Padilla said he has nothing to hide.

"When law enforcement asks you to take a polygraph, it's to panic you. Lee and Cindy and George (Anthony) obviously can't take a polygraph because they won't pass it. I've got no problem. I'll pass it," Padilla said.

"We believe our granddaughter is alive and still out there. All this other stuff going on is a distraction. That's all it is," George Anthony said.

Padilla said the dive team would continue to scour the river on Friday at Blanchard Park.

Officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Office said their divers haven't searched the Little Econlockhatchee River, but searchers with EquuSearch did spend time searching the waters by sonar and didn't find anything.

Divers resume Econ River search for Casey Anthony's body

UPDATES:





Divers return to river
2:43 p.m.

Divers working with California bounty hunter Leonard Padilla returned to the Little Econlockhatchee River to continue their search for the remains of Caylee Marie Anthony.



It was calm today in the river and nearby Jay Blanchard Park, a contrast to Thursday's flurry sparked by a false alarm.

The frenzy ended after investigators determined divers had found nothing of significance, including no bones.

On Friday, six volunteer divers from a security service took turns searching the same area Padilla's divers have scoured twice before, with plans on moving slowly downriver for the rest of the afternoon, said California bounty hunter Lorian "Spyder" Dalton.

About a dozen of Padilla's local supporters looked on from picnic tables and folding chairs on the river's bank. Charlotte Brass, 64, of Orlando, donated what she had -- paper plates, paper towels and $5 -- to the search team for lunch.

"They've donated so much time and I feel that little bit made us contribute to helping," Brass said. Padilla said he had planned to leave after the shuttle launch tonight, but the security service contacted him on Wednesday he decided to continue to search the Little Econlockhatchee River indefinitely.

"I never buy a return ticket when I go anywhere," he said.

Famed forensic expert inspecting evidence
12:59 p.m.

High-profile forensic expert Henry Lee is inspecting evidence from Casey Anthony's car right now. Lee, an expert for the defense, is in a forensic lab inside the garage near Anthony's car. He is inspecting carpet from the trunk and the tire cover, said Capt. Angelo Nieves, who said the horrible smell from the trunk is still present, Nieves said.

Jose Baez, Anthony's attorney, is standing nearby during the examination but is not participating.

The car will be moved into another garage bay by an Orange County Sheriff's crime scene technician.

Check back for updates.

Padilla: Casey Told Him Caylee Was Handed Off At Park

Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 5:04 pm EST November 14, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- Leonard Padilla had his paid scuba divers back in the water searching for Caylee Anthony's body Friday. A day earlier, Padilla's team set off a huge false alarm when they claimed they found bones in the Little Econ River (see map). It was so bad, the Orange County Sheriff's Office still wants Padilla to take a lie detector test.

Eyewitness News spoke at length with Padilla on Friday (watch full interview) and said, despite Thursday's drama and the fact that they found nothing Friday, he is more convinced than ever that Casey dumped Caylee's body in the river at Blanchard Park.

As gators circled below and vultures soared above, volunteering Blackwater Divers spent another day in water bounty hunter Leonard Padilla insists is Caylee's current resting place

"The day after we got [Casey] out, she sits down and she's talking to me and says, 'I went to Blanchard Park and Zenaida and her sister Samantha were there and they took the baby away from me,'" Padilla told Eyewitness News on Friday. "In the reports, she mentions Blanchard Park eight times."

Plenty of the curious were camping out at Blanchard Park, which has turned into the new Hopespring Drive, where the Anthony family lives.

A hodgepodge of postal packing tape, leftover crime scene tape and ski rope marked the makeshift staging area Friday where Thursday divers handed detectives a dud of a lead. Now they want Padilla to take a polygraph.

"What do they want to ask you? Did you set up some evidence in the middle of the water so you could go out there and have all the cameras in America focused on you? Do you think they think you did that?" WFTV reporter Steve Barrett asked Padilla.

"That's what I think, yeah," he replied.

FBI agent are supposed to contact Padilla to schedule the test and Friday wondered out loud about why others in the case declined lie detectors.

"It would have been great if Casey, Lee, Cindy and George would have taken a lie detector test," he said (watch full interview).

Also Friday, Padilla dropped a whole new theory involving the Anthony family pool. He believes, after Caylee die from a chloroform overdose, Casey put her body in the swimming pool to test the buoyancy of her body and then used the neighbors shovel to fish Caylee out of the pool before putting her inside a garbage bag.

Casey's Attorney Files Counter-Claims Against Zenaida Gonzalez

Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 5:00 pm EST November 14, 2008
ORLANDO, Fla. -- It's proof that anybody can sue anybody, even Casey Anthony. Eyewitness News uncovered a lawsuit filed by Casey Anthony against a woman she's never met.

The woman's name is Zenaida Gonzalez. She got caught up in the whole saga simply because she has the same name as the so-called babysitter who Casey claimed took her daughter Caylee.

Casey Anthony's attorneys have filed a counter-claim (read document) seeking money from Zenaida Gonzalez, calling Zenaida's lawsuit an attempt to cash in on a high profile case.

Zenaida Fernandez-Gonzales is the name of the mystery baby sitter Casey Anthony says took her daughter Caylee. In September, Eyewitness News broke the story that a Zenaida Fernandez- Gonzalez from Osceola County and her high-profile attorney, John Morgan, were suing Casey Anthony for defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

"Zenaida's world has been turned upside down. She is in hiding. The mention of her name is red-flagged everywhere," Morgan said.

Eyewitness News found out Friday that Casey Anthony's lawyer has filed a counter claim calling Zenaida's "a frivolous lawsuit which was filed for no other reason but to harass and embarrass" Casey Anthony.

It also calls it an "attempt to cash in on a high-profile media case" and contends John Morgan's firm did it to "generate publicity for their law firm."

The counter complaint goes on to claim Casey Anthony made truthful statements to investigators about a separate Zenaida Gonzalez and the woman suing her is not the mystery babysitter.

Now, Casey Anthony is seeking damages in excess of $15,000 and to recoup court fees and attorney fees.

Police: Divers' find not credible

A private dive company looking for missing toddler Caylee Anthony, under the direction of bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, found a plastic garbage bag with bricks, children's toys and what the divers said were bones in the bottom of the Little Econ River in Jay Blanchard Park on Thursday.

The FBI and the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to the area.

After looking at the materials found in the bottom of the river, a spokeman said the area was not a crime scene and the evidence was not credible to the investigation.

"At this point, we have responded, the lead investigator has responded, the FBI has also responded to this location, and there is nothing here at the scene that is credible or of a significant find," said Angelo Nieves, a public information officer with OCSO.

Nieves also said it was in poor form for Padilla to call the media before calling the police.

"This is unfortunately an incident that was not notified to law enforcement initially," Nieves said. "Law enforcement should have been the first call to be made by Mr. Padilla regarding this incident, not to the media."




Padilla said he called the FBI first when he started the diving operations.

"No, the first person I called was the FBI agent that is on the case when I came here originally," Padilla said.

Orange County Sheriff's Sgt. John Allen said the dive search going on in the river had nothing to do with either the FBI or the OCSO's official investigation, and was being conducted by Padilla.

"The Orange County Sheriff's Office and the FBI are working together, along with other police agencies, to find Caylee's remains," Allen said. "If you want to know what Leonard is doing here, I suggest you ask Leonard."

Nieves said that OCSO asked Padilla to take a polygraph test about the findings. Padilla agreed and said he is not worried or intimidated by the test.

Padilla said he chose this area due to a cross memorial that was found in a wooded area in the park that appeared to be made out of a material he had seen in the home of Casey Anthony, Caylee's mother. He said the importance of what the divers found is still unknown.

"I don't know the significance of it, because, like I said, the divers are the ones in control of the situation," Padilla said.

David Badali, a diver with Blackwater Divers who helped discover the items, said their placement is what brings up suspicion.

"I can tell you that these particular bricks belong in someone's house, not in these waters," Badali said. "They shouldn't have been in that bag to weight the bag down."

An official with the forensics department of the OCSO took two of the samples to examine and determine if they are bone.

It was originally reported that one of the toys found was a shamrock, connecting to the shamrock tattoo that Casey Anthony has, along with various shamrocks that are allegedly in her house. However, the divers later said the toy was a small Gumby figure, not a shamrock.

Detectives: Casey's Car Still Reeks Of Death; Defense Inspects Vehicle
Woman's Daughter Last Seen In Mid-June

POSTED: 12:40 pm EST November 14, 2008
UPDATED: 10:02 pm EST November 14, 2008


ORLANDO, Fla. -- Casey Anthony's defense team brought in a well-known forensics expert to examine her car, which still reeks of death, according to detectives.

Anthony, 22, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the disappearance of 3-year-old Caylee, who was last seen on June 16 but was not reported missing until a month later.

A judge recently granted Anthony's attorney, Jose Baez, to have access to the vehicle, which was found abandoned months ago at an Orange County Amscot. Scientists have concluded that the trunk contained signs of possible human decomposition and unusually high levels of chloroform.

Baez said he wanted an independent examination of the white Pontiac Sunfire and brought in Dr. Henry Lee, who has worked in several high-profile cases, including the O.J. Simpson murder trial, to assist in the inspection.

In 2003, a judge ruled that Lee either hid or accidentally destroyed key evidence in a murder trial.

Anthony's car has been stored at the Orange County Sheriff's Office since being recovered after Anthony's arrest in July. Anthony's mother, Cindy Anthony, said on a 911 call reporting Caylee missing that the car smelled like there had been a dead body in it.

Divers Resume Search

Meanwhile, celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla returned on Friday to Blanchard Park, a day after a dive team he organized said it found what it thought was bone fragments and children's toys in a bag in the Little Econ River.

The finding did not contain bones and Orange County sheriff's officials said there was no credible evidence connecting the discovery to Caylee.

Padilla said he remains convinced that Casey Anthony dumped Caylee's body in the river, but added that if the divers make any other suspicious discoveries, he will contact authorities first before making an announcement.

"We had one team that called last night (and said), 'We don't want to get involved with that mess down there. Law enforcement has got us scared. What if they start arresting people and all that?' Hey, I understand that. Especially when you're volunteering," Padilla said.

The FBI will conduct a lie-detector test on Padilla, who agreed to the idea. Padilla speculated that authorities want to verify that he didn't plant the bag found by divers on Thursday.

Anthonys Greet Volunteers, Ask For Funds At Kid Finders Event

Friday, November 14, 2008 – updated: 11:56 am EST November 15, 2008
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- George and Cindy Anthony were the main attractions Saturday morning as they met volunteers wanting to search for their missing granddaughter, Caylee.

The Anthonys attended an event for Kid Finders, the organization that is trying to find Caylee Anthony, who has been missing since early in the summer and whose mother is jailed on first degree murder charges in connection with the disappearance.

At Saturday's function, the Anthonys were helping Kid Finders gather a list of volunteers they can contact at a later date and determine how those volunteers can help in the search for Caylee, who the Anthonys maintain is still alive.

In an interview, Cindy stressed that the effort requires more donations so that Kid Finders can keep up the search.


BOUNTY HUNTER KICKED OUT OF PARK

Meanwhile bounty hunter Leonard Padilla has been ordered out of Blanchard Park for the weekend, where he had organized a team of divers this week to search the Little Econ River for Caylee's remains. There were no divers in the park Saturday.
