Hello DAWN TREADER {{big wave}}
So nice to read you, again. It's been a long time.
Another fact to take issue with is the assurance Leonard Padilla gave when he stated he would be make sure she didn't go on the run and in fact he would hunt her down. Here's the problem:
EXCERPT
Florida does not allow bounty hunters.
* Apprehension of bail fugitives is only allowed as set forth in FS 648.30(2)&(3):
* (2) No person shall represent himself or herself to be a bail enforcement agent, bounty hunter, or other similar title in [Florida].
* (3) No person, other than a certified law enforcement officer, shall be authorized to apprehend, detain, or arrest a principal on a bond, wherever issued, unless that person is qualified, licensed, and appointed as provided in this chapter or licensed as a bail bond agent by the state where the bond was written.
* Violation of this is a 3rd class felony. [FS 648.30(4)].

States eliminating free lance bounty hunters, but allowing full time "runners" who work for 1 bond agent at a time.
1. Florida
All bail runners must be licensed, and work only for one bond agent (i.e., eliminating free lance bounty hunters), be over 18, a resident of the state, have no criminal record, and pass a certification course, Fla. Stat. § 648.37. One cannot make an arrest on an out of state bond unless the person is licensed in the state or the state where the bond was written. Fla. Stat. § 648.30.

This, along with the information provided by The Dog, leads me to believe the case has not been investigated in any way by the Padillas.
And it is puzzling how Leonard Padilla believes he can obtain information from Casey Anthony, not turn that information or discovery over to the LE and not face the Judge for interfering, with holding evidence, and perhaps, obstructing justice. I can't image a licensed Florida Attorney would advice him to do so.
I did do a little research and discover that Leonard Padilla is listed in the Yellowpages as sharing the same address and suite as a PI agency. Perhaps he is planning on their involvement in a (license) reciprocal situation in Florida so that he could attempt to circumvent the laws by relying on the fact a PI work in progress is not subject to subpoena. I really don't know.
As The Dog so apply pointed out, how can Casey help to find Caylee when she is confined to house arrest?
All this and more raises my suspicions as to why they are eager to be involved in what seems a pointless activity.
