ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- There was a surprising change of plans late Friday morning when Casey Anthony's attorney announced, with bounty hunter Leonard Padilla at his side, that Padilla will not be taking Casey Anthony back to jail, something he'd been insisting as recently as 30 minutes earlier.

The surprising change in plans comes on the same day Padilla insisted Casey Anthony would be returned to jail Saturday.

"She's going back to jail on Saturday and she can sit there and decide what she is going to," bounty hunter Leonard Padilla told Eyewitness News on Friday morning.

Those plans changed in a matter of minutes though and, shortly before noon, Casey's attorney explained.

"I guess the breaking news is that Casey will not be surrendered by Mr. Padilla," attorney Jose Baez announced late Friday morning. "It was really about the two of us [Baez and Padilla] just sitting down and discussing it and going down to the root of the problem."

Padilla told Eyewitness News the main reason he initially decided to revoke Casey's bond was for safety concerns after receiving threats directed at her. That appears to have been the focus of the discussion Baez had with Padilla before the announcement, an announcement that was made public before Casey had even been told.

"We determined that they are legitimate security concerns and that's why he wanted to have her taken back. After discussing what we could do to address those, Mr. Padilla has agreed to not surrender the bond. I'm not going to address [what we're doing], because that would, of course, affect security," Baez explained.

CINDY ANTHONY LASHES OUT AT THE MEDIA

An angry and frustrated Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness News that her missing granddaughter Caylee isn't dead, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

"Cindy [Anthony] said her granddaughter is not dead. Is she in denial?" WFTV reporter Daralene Jones asked Leonard Padilla on Friday morning.

"Yes, totally. Yes, absolutely. And I would be too if I kept saying the same thing I said when I came out here and I'm not delusional to that extent," Padilla said.

Cindy Anthony said she doesn't believe her daughter Casey was responsible for Caylee's death. In fact, she said she doesn't even believe Caylee is dead. She posted no trespassing signs in front of her home to keep the media away Thursday evening, but then continued to talk to reporters (Images | Raw Video).

Cindy said she's sick of the media hanging around her home and reporting on the investigation into what happened to her granddaughter Caylee.

"All you guys want to (explicit) do is out my daughter in jail. Not one of you is doing a damn thing to find my granddaughter!" Cindy screamed.

She hammered no trespassing signs in her front yard to make it clear that she doesn't want anyone at her home except Tim Miller of Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery (read about EquuSearch).

"We are not asking Casey one question about anything, you know that's the detective's job. She does have an attorney and our job is to be searchers," Miller said.

His organization has found hundreds of missing people and most of them were alive.

"I want him to do a search around here to satisfy all of you leaches, parasites and all of you maggots," Cindy Anthony said Thursday evening.

Cindy's rant came the day after sources informed Eyewitness News that new DNA evidence shows hair and a stain found inside of Casey Anthony's car belongs to her daughter Caylee. The results showed signs of decomposition, which proves Caylee is dead. Cindy Anthony, though, remains optimistic.

"Maybe someone put a body in the car afterwards, check with the security," she said.

DNA TEST RESULTS SUGGEST CAYLEE IS DEAD

Orange County detectives were expected to meet with the State Attorney's Office to discuss new evidence in the Caylee Anthony case. A source close to the investigation confirmed for Eyewitness News that FBI DNA test results show hair and a stain in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car belong to her daughter, Caylee Anthony. Eyewitness News was also told the evidence found proves that she is dead.

The State Attorney's Office also confirmed on Wednesday that Casey Anthony was invited to their office to shed light on the disappearance of Caylee. The State Attorney's Office is not revealing details about an offer of limited immunity. Eyewitness News has learned there is a time limit on that offer that has been extended until Tuesday.

Eyewitness News spoke to a forensic expert to find out how investigators are able to use DNA to determine that a dead body was in Casey's trunk.

"Just putting the hair under the microscope one can tell the difference between a normal hair root and one that's been infected with bacteria after death," stated forensic expert Michael Baden.

Baden is a forensic pathologist who worked extensively on the OJ Simpson case. He also said the inside linings of the mouth and nose release fluid when they begin to decompose and that fluid can also be identified by DNA.

Investigators from the sheriff's office and the FBI met with Casey Anthony on Wednesday afternoon at her attorney's office. Cindy Anthony was also there. Casey only met with investigators for about 10 minutes and said nothing when she departed. Cindy Anthony left later in the afternoon, followed by the investigators. An investigator went to the Anthony's home but only stayed for a few minutes.

The sheriff's office, though, is not commenting on the forensic developments and issued the following statement late Wednesday afternoon: "Preserving the integrity of the investigative details of a case of this magnitude is paramount to its successful conclusion. We are unable to comment any further on information that has recently surfaced regarding the Caylee Anthony investigation. Any future returns in regards to evidence or submissions pertaining to this case will remain privileged or exempt unless the release of such information will be beneficial to the investigation or if it becomes a matter of public record in a legal proceeding."

It was Caylee's grandmother Cindy who first expressed concern about the disgusting stench that came from the trunk of Casey's car. It came during a 911 call when she reported Caylee was missing.

"It smells like there was a dead body in the damn car," Cindy told the dispatcher.

Cindy Anthony went on to change her story and say rotting pizza was behind the smell.
