ORLANDO -- Divers found a bag full of toys, and what they said were bones, in an Orange County river Thursday.
They were searching in the Little Econ River near Blanchard Park when they found a plastic bag reportedly weighed down with bricks.
Inside the bag, divers said there were bones and toys.
The bag was found in the area where divers were searching for the missing girl.
The search was organized by bounty hunter Leonard Padilla.
Padilla has said he's convinced Caylee Anthony's body was dumped in the water because of a cross that was found hanging on a nearby tree.
Padilla remembers seeing a picture of the exact same cross in Casey's room over the summer when he was in town after bailing her out of jail.
However, at least one diver said the search is not easy.
"Well it’s not seeing, it’s about feeling,” said Todd Bosinski. “One of the examples is a diver found this underwater. Underwater this feels like a bone, but up to the surface analyzed it's a piece of wood, but just to show the attention to detail these divers show with their equipment on."
Caylee has not been seen alive since mid-June.
Anthonys React To Search
Caylee's grandparents continue to believe the missing toddler is still alive.
George and Cindy Anthony were working with the Kid Finder command site in Orange County Thursday.
George said he's disappointed in Leonard Padilla's insistence on searching for a body, saying his search is in his own self-interest, not in Caylee’s interest.
“I want people always looking for my granddaughter,” said George. “I don’t want them to stop. But I think if you’re going to do something, do it in an organized way like Tim Miller did. Look how Tim was very organized. He knew exactly what he was doing day in and day out. What someone else does, they’re not very well equipped, if they don’t have the knowledge or the resources, they’re not going to be able to do a good job. The main thing, they’re not going to find my granddaughter out in the woods, in a river, in a lake, in a tree, under some kind of concrete or whatever they feel is out there. They’re not going to find her out there. My granddaughter is alive.”
Cindy said this latest incident did not phase her.
“You know, again, it didn’t phase us at all today because our gut feeling is that Caylee, from Day 1, we felt Caylee is alive and we have not faltered on that, and we will not continue to speculate on stuff that’s speculation,” said Cindy. “What we’re doing is looking for Caylee because that’s what we know in our hearts that she’s out there, and that’s the only concrete evidence that I have, and until they bring concrete evidence any other way, she’s alive and she’s out there and we’re not gonna stop looking for her.”
The family will be back out at the Kid Finders tent for a meet and greet from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
Padilla Asked To Take Lie Detector Test
Due to the events at Blanchard Park and the search by Padilla, the Orange County Sheriff's Office apparently thought something in his story needed to be verified.
So they asked him to take a lie detector test.
"There was nothing found here that was of significance,” said Capt. Angelo Nieves from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. “Mr. Padilla has been requested by the Orange County Sheriff's Office to participate in a polygraph and that will be conducted by the FBI. That information he's agreed to do so and we will continue to do that as part of this investigation."
The sheriff's office also said they continue to follow up on all viable leads and tips in their ongoing investigation.
Statement From Baez Released
Anthony's attorney Jose Baez has not commented on the latest discovery.
Baez's spokesman, Todd Black, sent this statement: "It would be irresponsible to make a comment (on what was found at Blanchard Park) without positively identifying the items that were found.”
