After chasing leads all day Sunday, Padilla says he thinks he has something. He says in August, EquuSearch found a cross made from arts and crafts in Blanchard Park. One of his team members recognizes those materials. She says she saw the same arts and crafts materials in Casey Anthony’s room after they bailed her out of jail.

Sunday morning, Padilla took a photograph of the cross and found the place where searchers discovered it. Padilla says the tree where searchers found the cross hanging is near water.

Now, Padilla has assembled a team of divers to search a nearby part of the Little Econ River.

“We feel confident enough, we have to, we have to check it out” said Padilla.

Padilla’s planned search comes just as EquuSearch’s massive search efforts near their end. . Sunday, about 800 volunteers scoured parts of East Orange County, but after Monday, EquuSearch founder Tim Miller is suspending the search.

Miller says he doesn’t think Caylee’s body will ever be found. He told Channel 9 his donors and the families of other missing people have been pressuring him to end his massive search in Orlando and start helping with other cases in North Carolina.

“We are literally, because of this case, neglecting other families that really want our help” said Miller.

Miller also says EquuSearch is in debt. After the group's two searches in Orlando, EquuSearch has spent more than $75,000 on equipment and staff.

The entire weekend turned out to be a disappointment. Not only were searchers unable to find Caylee, the turnout was much smaller than expected. Organizers had predicted up to 5,000 volunteers would show up for the weekend search, but only 1,500 showed up Saturday, and even less on Sunday.

Those that did show up Sunday had high hopes of finding Caylee's body. Many hugged each other after a morning prayer led by Richard Grund, whose son at one time was engaged to the missing girl's mother, the now jailed Casey Anthony. Grund said that he considered Caylee family.

"I'm an old New York Italian. When I make you part of my family, you stay part of my family, so Caylee's still part of my family."

Throughout the weekend, the volunteers who came from all over the country continued to show a determination to help in the search for Caylee.

"I just think it's time for closure for her family,” said searcher Lynda Parsons on Saturday. “I think it's really time to find her."

Searchers scoured several areas on the east side of Orlando. They walked through dense brush, fields, even water. But aside from clothing and some apparent animal bones, they found nothing to indicate they child's remains were there.

"If you really want to delve into the mind of Casey (Anthony), delve deep into some shrink's ugly book, because she's an ugly minded person," said bounty hunter Leonard Padilla. He returned to Orlando for the search and attacked Casey for never helping.

The mother has caused pain for people across the country like Cathy Peters who came from Georgia to help find the beautiful brown-eyed little girl.

“She's in heaven and she just needs to be brought home to be buried,” said Peters. “Let her have her funeral…let the tears stop.”

Meanwhile, George Anthony showed up at the Kid Finders Command & Volunteer Center Saturday afternoon. He said he holds no ill will toward EquuSearch and its theory that Caylee is dead. The grandfather is holding out hope that Caylee would be found alive. He also said his wife, Cindy, was not taking the search too well. She was not at the Kid Finders location.

The Texas-based EquuSearch group, which is leading the search effort, is asking for more volunteers, donations, food and water.

The command post is near the corner of Judge Road and Shadowridge Drive (see map), almost directly north of Orlando International Airport.

AUDIO RELEASED OF GEORGE ANTHONY INTERVIEW

Late Friday afternoon, Eyewitness News obtained new audio tapes of interviews with George Anthony. They indicate he feared the worst when Caylee disappeared.

"My, my heart is killing me right now to say it's going into my granddaughter is not, no longer alive," he said (listen to full interview).

He also said, if he lost his granddaughter, he'd probably lose Casey, too.

Those tapes and documents show that George Anthony told investigators he felt something was wrong from the very beginning. The documents focus a lot on interviews George and Cindy Anthony did with sheriff's deputies.

When sheriff's investigators questioned George nine days after Caylee was reported missing, George told them he had "bad vibes" the very first day he got his car back and smelled a rancid smell in the trunk, a smell, he said as a former law enforcement officer, he knows and would never forget. The smell was that of a dead body.

Casey's father George told investigators, "I don't want to believe that I have, have raised someone and brought someone in this world that could do something to another person. I don't want to believe that."

George also told them, "I, I, I believe that there's someone dead back there and I hate to say the word human. Um, I hate to say that."

George told them, when he opened the trunk of the car, he said to himself, "Please don't let this be my Caylee."

But Thursday, Cindy Anthony told Eyewitness News she's holding on to hope.

"No one's brought me a body. No one's proven that she's dead. I'm not gonna give up on someone that I love that easy. And if I did, then what kind of person would I be? I'm not that person," she said (full interview).

But George also told sheriff's investigators that the very first night they found out Caylee was missing, Cindy told him, "We lost her. We lost her." When he asked who, she said "Caylee."

George also told investigators his daughter Casey lives on the edge, that she takes things as far as she can take them and then she piles on more. He said they caught her in lies about work and money and said she's really good with computers.

Casey spent the Tuesday through Saturday around the 4th of July with Amy Huizenga, her former best friend. She told Amy that Caylee was at the beach with the nanny and with Cindy, but no one's met the nanny.

George says Casey has lied to her attorney, Jose Baez. She told him she had $5,000, even though she didn't and then she told him that he'd get the rest after she gets out of the situation.
