Bounty Hunter Arrives In Orlando, Tries To Bail Casey Out

Friday, August 15, 2008 – updated: 10:03 am EDT August 18, 2008

It's been 33 days since Caylee Anthony was reported missing and 32 days since her mother Casey was put in jail. Monday, she could bond out of jail because of one man.

California Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla said he's convinced he can get Casey to tell him where she left Caylee. He met the Anthonys for the first time Sunday night at their weekly prayer vigil and Padilla said that he believes Caylee is still alive and said his team will work to find her in one week.

“I just have to feel there is some humanity in that woman that would not allow her to kill that cute little girl,” said Padilla.

If he succeeds in freeing Casey, she'll be required to wear an ankle monitoring device. Padilla's team will also monitor her 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to make sure they are not stuck paying the $50,000 bail.

If Anthony does bond out, she may not go back to her parents' home in order to avoid the media. Casey Anthony declined a scheduled visit from her parents, Monday.

"We'll have people with her 24/7. It has a lot to do with a lot of things," Leonard Padilla told Eyewitness News by phone on Friday (raw interview). "One is investment. Another is the fact that the more you know someone, the more you trust them."

Casey Anthony is charged with child endangerment and lying to authorities in the disappearnce of her 3-year-old daughter, Caylee. Casey reported Caylee missing nearly a month ago but has frustrated investigators by providing little information on her whereabouts.
