Of course they wouldn't. According to all sources, the area was underwater up until a week and a half before the body was found. The article makes no sense at all. Can anyone make sense of these quotes, supposedly by Carlos Padilla?
"We will definitely look into that, absolutely," said Carlos Padilla, Orange County Sheriff's Office.
"They know the existence of the tape and want to look at all evidence that's available," Padilla said.
Who is 'they' if it's not 'we'?
I am constantly amazed at the way media choose to write things. The "they" in question refers to Baez's request to sit in with the PI's interview with LE. For whatever reason, the writer of this article split Padilla's comment. It makes for confusing reading and I wonder where the editor with the red pen was that let this go through in this way. It is just cruddy reporting.
But if you read these few paragraphs/sentences and put the first comment down with the rest of Padilla's comments, it makes sense.

Investigators also want to talk to the Anthonys' private investigator who works with Hoover, Dominic Casey. The defense wants to intervene, because Dominic Casey used to work for the defense and attorney Jose Baez doesn't want him to divulge privileged information.Baez said investigators won't let him sit in on the questioning, so he's asking the judge to appoint a special master to protect defense secrets if the private eye agrees to talk.
"Investigators have tried to make arrangements with Mr. Casey to speak to him and he's not responded," Padilla said.

I agree with you in part that WFTV shouldn't be the primary source of information if this is the way they're gonna go about it, but it isn't necessarily a conspiracy on their part to frame everyone, and more than likely due to their desire to have the jump on everyone else reporting on this case and allowing shoddy work through before thoroughly editing it for content.
