EXCLUSIVE: Leonard Padilla Says George Anthony on Steroids

Last night at 10 PM EST / 9 CST I interviewed Diane Fanning a true crime author who recently wrote a book on the Caylee Anthony case titled "Mommy's Little Girl" and world famous Bounty Hunter Leonard Padilla.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding the new evidence that has been released. As many of you know there were syringes and a bottle found at the scene where Caylee's skeletal body was discovered. The syringes contained trace evidence of chloroform but also traces of testosterone, experts say that overconsumption of chloroform would have killed the child, which left many wondering why would she inject her child with testosterone? Leonard Padilla gave his theory and as usual Padilla is no stranger to controversy. Leonard speculated that the testosterone came from the Anthony home and that George Anthony is a steroid user.

Now what was Padilla's reasoning? Leonard stated that George is in very good shape for his age (George is 58-years-old) and he also stated that when he spent time with the family, that he never seen George exercise or work out.

I don't know for a fact that George is on steroids, and it may seem that Padilla is making an outrageous claim, but when you think about it, he actually makes sense and could possibly be right.

Be sure to read Diane's new book "Mommy's Little Girl."

Bill O'Reilly Right on Ft. Hood Shooter

Sometimes Bill O'Reilly makes absolutely no sense at all and I usually disagree with him but when O'Reilly discussed the media's coverage of the Ft. Hood Shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, I found myself nodding in agreement with what he had to say. For those of you living under a rock, Hasan a 39-year-old military psychologist gunned down 13 people and wounded 38.

Here is O'Reilly's take on the media coverage:

Many people wanted to blame the military for this man's psychological problems, blame public policy and throw around their psychobabble. Bill O'Reilly said it best: "And you know why people came in here, because they knew they were going to get an honest story. They weren't going to get spin that Hasan is some kind of post-traumatic syndrome victim. Some kind of victim of a terrible public policy gone awry. They're not going to get that..... I almost said a bad word. They're not going to get that garbage here."

.

As O'Reilly pointed out Dr. Phil was one of the biggest psycho-babblers out there discussing this, he wanted to blame the war for Hasan's actions.

Soshana Johnson, a screechy former prisoner of war also tried to paint Hasan as a poor victim who has "feelings." Screechy Soshana also went on to blame the military and suggest Hasan had PTSD, despite the fact that he had never been to war. Why would he have PTSD if he had never been deployed? And If this evil man had any "feelings" he wouldn't murder 13 people in cold blood, he would have simply killed himself.

Why is it when someone from the military murders innocent people, there are some who always want to look for an excuse? Take Corey Mitchell, a coward true crime author who wrote in the Daily Kos (using a pseudonym) in 2007 that the military is to blame for the actions of serial killers. Mitchell wrote in a post titled "Killitary" that the mlitary is to blame for the actions of several high profile murderers. What ever happened to personal responsibility? Why is society, the military or public policy always to blame when someone does something evil and self centered? I think it comes from the lame idea that "it takes a village" to raise children that everyone is responsible for everyone else and there is no parental responsibility or personal responsibility. After many blogs slammed him, the Daily Kos deleted the entry, but Mitchell still keeps the post up on his true crime blog.

Hasan was evil, you don't murder 13 people if you are simply depressed. You would only kill yourself. Only a freak with no regard for the lives of others would take the life of someone else. I'm really tired of these psychobabblers and armchair psychologists who make excuses and blame everyone under the sun for the actions of evil people, and as O'Reilly pointed out, so are the American people.

BREAKING NEWS IN THE CAYLEE ANTHONY CASE

There is explosive breaking news coming out of Orlando Florida in the case of Casey Anthony accused of murdering her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony. The new twist in this bizarre case is the fact that a bottle and syringes were found at the site where Caylee's dead body was disposed off. Both the bottle and the syringe had traces of Chloroform inside of them.

This evidence is another nail in the coffin of Casey Anthony, but will it seal her fate in court? Casey Anthony's computer contained web searches for chloroform, missing children, neck breaking and the death penalty. These searches took place before Caylee died, which would show premeditation. Also, it is being reported that a bag found inside of Casey Anthony's car had "coffin flies" in it, those are flies that are attracted to decomposing flesh.

A a friend of mine named Amy on Facebook told me, "the gun is smoking! How's the Bella Vita now, bi***???" I couldn't have said it better. She was referring to the tattoo Casey got on her back while her child's body rotted away and decomposed. While the body deteriorated Casey was lying through her teeth about a babysitter that kidnapped Caylee. I hope that Casey Anthony got comfortable with syringes because if the prosecution has it their way, she will be getting one right in the arm!

Crimes Against Children

Crimes against children have been dominating the news lately. Here is a quick wrap up of the latest headlines where children have gone missing or fell victim of a violent crime.

Somer Thompson:

7-year-old Florida girl Somer Thompson was murdered and her body was disposed of like garbage in a Georgia landfill. It is believed that Somer was abducted while walking home from school. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Welner told Good Morning America that the freak who most likely murdered Somer falls into two categories of child predators: Visible pedophiles, which are pedophiles that are known to associate and be around children on a daily basis. Examples he gave are coaches or people who do volunteer work with children. The second example he gave are pedophiles that have normal relationships and behave normally infront of the public.

Investigators working the case have urged the public to alert them of anyone suspicious. He wanted people to be especially on the lookout for people who have developed a strange interest in the case of Somer Thompson and are watching the coverage of the investigation. He also stated that if anyone exhibiting these behaviors has gave away their vehicle or is hiding it need to be reported.

Clay County police asked tipsters to call 877-227-6911 if they have any information of the brutal murder of this child.

Elizabeth Olten:

9-year-old Elizabeth Olten was murdered allegedly by a 15-year-old girl! This is a case out of Missouri, the victim Elizabeth Olten was coming home from a friends house when she vanished. A tip led them to their suspect and it wasn't a pedophile, it was a 15-year-old girl who had played with Elizabeth. The 15-year-old girl led police to the body of Elizabeth. Reports indicate that physical and handwritten evidence led to the arrest of this 15-year-old girl whose name is not being made public because of her age. This unnamed 15-year-old is being charged with 1st degree murder and a judge is set to determine whether she will be tried as an adult or if the juvenile justice system will handle the case.

I think if this 15-year-old girl is cold blooded enough to murder a 9-year-old girl, then she is certainly old enough to be tried as an adult. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Haleigh Cummings:

Tim Miller with the search and recovery group Texas Equusearch recently stated that he believes the missing Satsuma Florida child Haliegh Cummings is dead. Tim Miller recently announced that despite believing Haleigh is dead, his group will continue to search for the missing child and he has plans to go back to Satsuma to continue his search. Tim Miller will be speaking out in an Exclusive interview, on the Levi Page Show tomorrow night at 10 PM EST / 9 CST.

Michelle McKee, Murt Murtaugh & John Mark Karr

Sometimes in the online true crime community people get so personal and nasty and instead of focusing on the specific cases at hand they engage in personal attacks and end up in battles with people who own, participate or run different true crime forums, chats or blogs. I try my best to keep the focus on the cases and not get involved with the losers and freaks who are constantly attacking each other.

But this afternoon I discovered a loser on twitter who felt the need to regurgitate a false rumor concerning my radio show on blog talk radio. This loser on twitter wrote this: "rumor has it that @Levi_Page & Murt have teamed up & Levi will "be taking care of" me on his show. How utterly hysterical." The low down freak who twittered that lie was obviously seeking attention.

I want to specifically address this liar. Her name is Michelle McKee. I wouldn't waste any time on my show to even address a freak like you. I wouldn't give you the time of day. I normally do not respond to your pack of lies, but since you stated I would be teaming up with Murt Murtaugh who is also a freak, I have to address that. I've heard rumors about how Murt, a loser who most likely is living off government support, is an attention seeker and had used the cases of Trenton Duckett and Caylee Anthony to get attention. I really do not care and never felt the need to research his online activities. I think he is a distraction, but after seeing my name associated with this character on twitter, I looked up some information about him and I found it to be quite disturbing.

He inserted himself in the Trenton Duckett case, a toddler from central Florida who vanished in 2006. His mother Melinda Duckett appeared on "Nancy Grace" and killed herself after the interview. Nancy Grace is currently being sued for wrongful death and because of that the case has got a lot of attention. I've read where Murt stated he killed Trenton Duckett and apparently this freak has disturbing thoughts regarding children. Can you say John Mark Karr? We all know he didn't kill Trenton, all of the evidence points to the childs mother Melinda, but normal people do not lie about killing children, normal people do not even joke about it. It takes a real demented scum bag to do that.

The online true crime community certainly does have it's fair share of freaks and losers. John Mark Karr the nutcase who said he killed JonBenet Ramsey is one of them. I bet most of these freaks are people who collect monthly food stamps and welfare checks from the government (tax payers) and then insert themselves into cases and spread lies over the internet to get attention. Two of them happen to be Michelle McKee and Murt Murtaugh, both of them, in my opinion need to be in a straight jacket.

The good news is, most people who chat, blog, and participate in discussions on true crime cases have the victims best interest at heart and really want to see justice served, but there are always a bunch of rotten losers like McKee, Murtaugh and John Mark Karr who have to muck it up with their BS.
