Missing girl’s mother silent
A bounty hunter who helped free the mother of a missing Orlando toddler wants his associates to withdraw her bond.
That could force Casey Anthony, 22, to return to jail unless she can find another way to cover the $500,000 bail.
Anthony was freed Aug. 21. Her family said that would help find 3-year-old Caylee Anthony, who has been missing since June. But bounty hunter Leonard Padilla says she hasn’t cooperated since her release.
Caylee wasn’t reported missing until a month after she vanished. Prosecutors say Casey Anthony is a person of interest in her disappearance. At the moment, she faces charges of child neglect, obstruction and making false statements.
