Bounty Hunter in Casey Anthony Case to Take Polygraph

Celebrity bounty hunter Leonard Padilla says he's back in California where he will undergo a lie detector test. Padilla told Orlando station WFTV he believes the FBI wants to ask him about last week's big false alarm that sent reporters and law enforcement officials scrambling to a search site on the Little Econ River in Blanchard Park.

Divers organized by Padilla to search for the remains of Caylee Anthony found a plastic bag containing what they said were bones and toys. The bag reportedly had been weighted down with two bricks.

Law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene a short time later said there were no bones in the bag. They added that they found nothing of evidentiary value at the scene to aid them in their search for the missing toddler.

When asked by a WFTV reporter if the FBI wants him to take the lie detector test to find out if he planted the bag in the river, Padilla answered, "That's what I think, yeah."

Padilla's dive team was ordered out of Blanchard Park over the weekend. He said he hopes to return there later this week. Padilla says he remains convinced that Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, dumped her daughter's body in the Little Econ River.

Meanwhile, Casey's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, have hired a new family spokesperson. They fired Larry Garrison last week after learning he had profited from their appearances and family photographs.

Casey Anthony is jailed on first degree murder charges and is scheduled to stand trial in January.
