MISSING: Haleigh Cummings 02/12/09
Haleigh Cummings Investigation
Satsuma, Florida
The search is on for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings from Satsuma, Florida.
An amber alert was issued, Tuesday, after her frantic father, Ronald Cummings, reported his daughter was missing when he came home from work at 3:00am Tuesday morning.
"I just got home from work and my 5-year-old daughter is gone," Ronald Cummings told a dispatcher on a 911 call. "If I find whoever has my daughter before you all do, I'm killing them. I don't care if I spend the rest of my life in prison."
His girlfriend, Misty Croslin, said she had been sleeping next to Haleigh but when she awoke, the girl was gone.
"She was sleeping right next to me," Croslin told the Palatka Daily News. "I can't believe I didn't hear anything."
"I just woke up and my back door is open, and I can't find my daughter," Croslin told a 911 dispatcher. She told the dispatcher she had been sleeping and the door was not open when she went to sleep.
"She's afraid of the dark," said Ronald Cummings. "She didn't leave my house. Somebody came in my back door and stole my child while I was at work."
There were signs of a forced entry. The back door of Cummings rented house had been propped open with a cinder block.
Haleigh's disappearance is now being treated as an abduction, according to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office during a Wednesday news conference.
"We are absolutely treating this like an abduction," said Major Gary Bowling of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. "There is no longer any reason to believe that the child simply wandered off outside."
Ronald Cummings has taken a polygraph test and passed it, according to the Nancy Grace show. He has been fully co-operating.
Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh's mother, pleaded for the person who took her daughter to bring her home.
"I just want my baby home. She doesn't deserve this," Sheffield said. "She's a wonderful kid. I just wan t her home. Whoever has her, just please bring her back. Please."
Sheffield, 23, lives about 100 miles away from Satsuma. She and her family came to Satsuma to be close to the search site and wait for any word about Haleigh.
Haleigh's father has custody of the little girl.
Crystal Sheffield said she last saw Haleigh two weeks ago and was scheduled to see her this Friday. She said Haleigh would visit her at her home in Baker County.
Detective John Merchant of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said 44 sex offenders live in a 5-mile radius of Cummings' home, but all have been contacted by law enforcement since Haleigh disappeared.
"Right now, we don't have a lot of clues indicating where she's at," Merchant said. "I'm always positive, though. We want to find her alive."
Authorities are using boats to comb the St. Johns River and all the waterways connected to it. Bloodhounds are being walked through the woods and fields around Haleigh's home.
There are more than 25 different law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, assisting with the search.
Joshua Duckett, father of missing Lake County toddler Trenton Duckett, said he was acting as a family spokesman and would try to find additional photos of Haleigh to help with the search.
Tim Miller, the founder of Texas EquuSearch, said his organization has been in contact with Putnam County officials. Some volunteers may drive and others may fly to Florida today or tomorrow, he said.

Misty Cummings Fails New Lie Detector Tests
Six months ago when Haleigh went missing, a group called Equusearch, which searches for missing people on horseback, came to town from Texas to help search for her.
They looked for Haleigh for days but never found her.
The director of that group, Tim Miller, said Misty called him just last week asking for their help and asking them to continue their search for the girl.
Miller said Misty asked them to help her clear her name.
According to Miller, the call came just two days after the Putnam County Sheriff's Office put out information about the case in a letter, in which the Sheriff's office called Misty's story about what happened the night Haleigh disappeared "sketchy." They also said Misty continues to hold important answers in the case.
During an interview just one day after Haleigh's disappearance, Misty said, "I want everyone to know I did nothing with that little girl. If I knew, we would have her. I don't know where she is."
In that same interview, Misty said she took a lie detector test and thought she did OK.
But now, Miller said Misty wanted to take another one.
So, Equusearch arranged for her to take a lie detector test in Orlando last week.
Miller said Misty failed "miserably."
In fact, he said she failed more than once.
There were three parts to the test, a written portion and a voice analysis. She failed both.
There was also a hypnotism session, but Miller said it didn't produce any results because Misty was fighting being put under.
Misty's attorney in Putnam County said he told her not to take the tests but she felt pressured to because she wanted Equusearch's help in the search for her stepdaughter.
Miller said Equusearch did not pressure Misty into taking any lie detector test.
Channel 4 was told when investigators with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office heard about the new polygraphs, they subpoenaed the results and now have them.
The Sheriff's Department only said it is not surprised at reports of the results of the new tests.

NeJame and EquuSearch Join Search
Does the name Mark NeJame sound familiar? He was Cindy and George Anthony's attorney until he quit because of lack of co-operation. He also gave Roy Kronk, the man who found Caylee Anthony's remains, $5,000 when the reward for finding her wasn't paid out. Mark NeJame is now getting involved in the Haleigh Cummings case after a request from the family, and so is Tim Miller from EquuSearch.
As Haleigh's family planned to release balloons with flyers on her sixth Birthday, NeJame called a press conference to announce that EquuSearch will help search for Haleigh once more. They won't search immediately though, because the vegetation is too thick.
Miller said it may be another six weeks to two months before his volunteers will scour the area once more for Haleigh.
"My heart's breaking for them," said Miller. "This is one day that they did not want to go through without Haleigh here, and that's her birthday."
Neves teared up during Miller's comments.
Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, said little during the press conference. He said the past few months have been "extremely hard."
NeJame said not a lot of public attention has been paid to Haleigh's disappearance. When Neves reached out to the lawyer to help garner publicity for the case, NeJame said, "My heart went out to her."
"Her grief was apparent," he said.
NeJame said all leads are being explored, and some areas need to be searched better.
Miller said the search may also be expanded.
"We want to do everything we can do to make sure that they do not go through the next birthday without having Haleigh back home safely, or without having the remains and having that funeral," he said.
Putnam County investigators say Ron Cummings and Crystal Sheffield were not suspects in Haleigh's disappearance, but don't feel Misty Croslin-Cummings has been straight with them.
They also said they don't think Haleigh was abducted by a stranger. They said, Misty Croslin, who was baby-sitting the girl when she vanished from her father's mobile home in February, "continues to hold important answers in the case."
"She has failed to provide any sort of detailed accounting of the hours during the late evening and early morning of Haleigh's disappearance. Furthermore, physical evidence at the scene contracts Misty's sketchy account of her evening activities."

Cummings Arrested
The father of missing Satsuma girl Haleigh Cummings was arrested at his grandmother's home early Thursday after a fight with his in-laws, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.
Ronald Cummings, 25, was arrested after his wife's brother, Hank Croslin Jr., told a Putnam County deputy that Cummings was acting crazy and started "swinging on him," when Croslin and his father arrived at the home in Welaka late Wednesday. He was charged with burglary with assault or battery.
Croslin said he was hit in the head and neck several times during the altercation. When he attempted to drive away, Croslin said Cummings entered his vehicle from the passenger side and hit him again, according to a deputy's report.
Croslin said his sister Misty Cummings called him, crying, and said she no longer wanted to be at the home with her husband, the report says.
Hank Croslin Sr. also was at the scene and told the deputy that "Ronald went crazy on his son," the deputy noted in the report.
But Ronald Cummings said the Croslins showed up at his grandmother's home after Misty Cummings told them not to come, the report says. He said the Croslins approached him in an "aggressive" way. Cummings said he ended up pushing Hank Croslin Jr. when he came too close and then fought with both men. Cummings said the father held him while the son hit him, according to the report.
Misty Cummings said she had told her brother not to come over because it was late. When he did arrive, she said her brother "began a verbal altercation with Ronald." She said her brother came at her husband and then they started fighting, according to the report.
Cummings was booked into the Putnam County jail shortly after 1 a.m. Thursday. Bail was set at $12,504, but he later posted bail and left, according to the Sheriff's Office's Web site.
Charging affidavits for the two Croslin men were submitted to prosecutors for review.
The story of Haleigh Cummings, 5, made national news after she was last seen late Feb. 9. She was being watched by Misty Cummings, then Ronald Cumming's girlfriend.
Law-enforcement officers think the girl was abducted, but no suspects have emerged. About $35,000 in reward money has been offered for those who help authorities find the child.

No New Searches Planned
Searches have tapered to a stop in the Haleigh Cummings case.
Lieutenant Johnny Greenwood with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office says they've been following up on tips and conducting interviews. "Right now as far as an actual physical search there are none scheduled. None of the tips we've received have indicated that there are areas that need to be searched any further," says Greenwood.
In addition, the Putnam sheriff?s office launched an intense criminal investigation staffed by five detectives and other personnel.
As of Wednesday night, no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made.
Meanwhile the accusations fly from both sides concerning the care that Haleigh received while in her father's custody.
Ronald Cummings attorney fought back against the allegations that injuries on Haleigh, seen in a photo, were not caused by her father, but caused by a fall at school.
He said a photo taken of the girl on Nov. 5, the day before the accident at school, shows Haleigh without any injuries. Cummings' attorney said a photo showing the girl with bruises was taken an hour and a half after Haleigh's accident on Nov. 6.
That same day, Haleigh's grandmother, Teresa Neves, took the child to Flagler Hospital's emergency room for care.
Another picture taken by Neves on Nov. 7 show Haleigh's facial injuries get worse, the attorney claimed. Yet another photo, taken on Nov. 9, according to Cummings' attorney, shows "natural progression and continuation of her response to the injury."
Three days later, the attorney said Haleigh's grandmother took her back to the hospital because of stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Haleigh was treated and released, and Cummings' attorney said no one at the hospital made any mention of possible child abuse.

Donation Refusal
Daniel Snodgrass made a donation that was refused by Haleigh Charity organizers. Why??? Because he is a man who has been arrested for sexual acts on children.
According to First Coast News, Jeremiah Regan had been renovating a small building when a man came up to him and said, "I don't want any recognition. I don't want anyone to know my name. I heard you need office supplies for the foundation for Haleigh."
Regan said the man told him he had furniture at his house he would donate.
Then Regan said he heard the man mention his name to a reporter from Orlando, and he knew the name, Daniel Snodgrass.
Snodgrass was arrested in 2007 on two charges. One was sexual battery on a child as well as a lewd and lascivious charge involving a child.

It's Official- Mr. and Mrs. Ron Cummings
Jeremy Leonard Accused of Haleigh Cummings Donation Theft
Back Door Removed From Cummings Home
Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin are now husband and wife.
The 25-year-old father of missing Haleigh Cummings, and his 17-year-old girlfriend, tied the knot Thursday in a top secret ceremony at a relative's house in Welaka.
How low can you go? Let's ask Jeremy Leonard (left) who is accused of stealing hundreds of dollars in donations to help find little Haleigh Cummings. Leonard is now charged with Grand Theft!
According to firstcoastnews.com the people at the Baker County bus garage, where Haleigh's maternal grandmother works as a bus driver, have been collecting money for the reward fund.
Authorities say sometime last Tuesday night, an envelope with $670 in cash disappeared from where it had been locked up.
The Sheriff's office says Leonard was the only one who had access to the building at that hour.
When questioned by investigators, Leonard confessed to having the money. Authorities recovered all of the money and the selfish man was hauled off to jail.
Meanwhile, a donation of $767 has been put up for Haleigh's return, increasing the reward to $35,767. Of the total amount, $5,000 will be awarded for the return of the child and $30,767 will be awarded for the arrest and the conviction of the person or persons involved in the crime.
A new search was conducted, Thursday, in an area that had been searched before to make sure that nothing was overlooked.
Also, a Putnam County sheriff's deputy on Wednesday removed the back door of the Cummings home -- the same door that was found propped open the night the girl disappeared. Officials would not comment on why the door was taken.

No New Evidence
Investigators from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office searched a nearby construction dumpster, Thursday, after three cadaver dogs picked up a scent there, After hours of searching through tons of trash, they found no new evidence.
Rumors spread quickly as Head Line News (HLN) spread the word that Crystal Sheffield went missing and speculated on why she would mysteriously leave (paraphrase), after it was requested she give a DNA sample.
Sheffield was angry, after she showed up, and said that she wasn't going anywhere as long as her daughter is missing.
She said she wasn't hiding from anyone.
"It's very frustrating...I'm very mad right now," she concluded.
Police took down the yellow tape surrounding the Cummings' home. Satisfied that they have found all they can in the house, police packed up what they had and opened the house back up to Ronald Cummings.
Cummings, however, says he doesn't want to go back into the house where his daughter was last seen.
More dogs were brought in, Friday, to continue the search effort.

"Man In Black" Took Her
Ronald Cummings Jr.,age 3, may have witnessed his sister, Haleigh, being abducted, according to his mother, Crystal Sheffield.
"When I saw him on my visitation all he said was, 'I wanna find my sissy' and he said, 'Some man in black came in and took her.' and that he was all dressed in black, but I didn't question him. I'm not going to question him," said Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield.
The 4-year-old boy gave the description to his mother nearly two weeks after his sister disappeared from her father's Putnam County home in Satsuma on February 9.
Crystal Sheffield appeared on CNN's Nancy Grace show Monday night and briefly talked about "the man in black." Sheffield also confirmed that she took and passed a lie detector test.

Geraldo Kicked Out
Geraldo Rivera came out of the wood work spewing hear-say allegations against the father of missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummins. He was soon kicked off the property.
Geraldo asked Ron Cummings about allegations of child abuse, spousal abuse, and cocaine and Marijuana use.
Cummings got even more upset when Rivera said he’d been told by members of Haleigh’s mother’s family that Cummings hit the child and has said he is 75 percent sure he knows who has her. Shortly thereafter, family members ran Rivera and his crew off the property.
Putnam County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene later, and issued Rivera the trespass warning at the request of the two property owners on whose land the Cummings family is camping while their trailer remains closed off as a crime scene.
A trespass warning means Rivera would be arrested if he came back onto the property. Rivera told deputies he understood and stated he would not come back to the address, but declined to sign the trespass warning, according to a sheriff’s office report.
Crystal Sheffeld, Haleigh's biological mother, lost parental control of her two children, and only saw Haleigh twice a month.
Sheffeld was interviewed later by Rivera where she confirmed many of the hear-say allegations made against Cummings.

Sex Offender Arrested
It was announced during a news conference, on the Haleigh Cummings case, that a sex offender was arrested on Wednesday night. Although 50-year-old Timothy Randolph Loucakis has not been connected to the case, so far, Sheriff Jeff Hardy said, "I'm not going to excluded anybody from being not involved.
When asked, he said the press conference was called because inquiries were being made about the arrest and, while they don't believe Loucakis to be connected to the disappearance, they wanted to get the information out.
"We did go back on the evening that Haleigh disappeared and looked at the monitoring and he was within his home zone," Hardy said.
Hardy said Loucakis was arrested Wednesday night after violating the restrictions of his "home zone." Loucakis is under GPS monitoring and law enforcement was informed that he was not at his own home during the 10:00pm-6:00am curfew window as required. Hardy said they do know where he was, due to the GPS monitor, and they plan to do a precautionary search of that area.
Hardy also said Loucakis was the first sex offender in the area interviewed immediately after Haleigh's disappearance and said his home was searched.
Eyewitness News also learned Thursday, detectives say Misty Croslin's cousin was in town the night Haleigh disappeared. There are questions about what role he may have played in the disappearance. After the little girl vanished, he took off to Tennessee.
"I can tell you that we aren't going to confirm whether or not he is a sex offender or predator. But have we been in contact? Yes," Hardy said.

New Approach For Haleigh Search
There will no longer be daily full-scale searches for missing Haleigh Cummings.The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) plans a more "tactical approach", now.
Authorities say that they are nowhere near ready to stop the search, but they are changing the way they will proceed.
The FDLE calls it more of a "tactical approach" now.
"Instead of just a full out search of the entire area, now we want to say, 'okay, we've been there, is there a reason to be there?," said Dominic Pate with the FDLE.
"We will continue searching until she is recovered," Pape said. "We will search any place in this county and outside this country if we get a valid lead that says we need to be there."
Late Monday, Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy urged everyone involved not to give up hope that the girl will be found alive.
"We're asking the family: Do not give up hope. We have hope that we're going to find Haleigh, and we hope to bring her home alive," Hardy said, his voice cracking. "As I explained it to them with my staff -- we've not abandoned the search. Depending on the urgency of the tip, we have resources ready to deploy."
It was reported that a large number of federal agents and local police at the Cummings' mobile home late Monday afternoon, but no one would discuss what information prompted the response.

A Productive Day
Putnam County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Rose said, "We had a very productive day. We were successful in securing what would be described as items of interest," during a news conference on Friday about missing Haleigh Cummings.
Rose wouldn't say what the items were but did say that the items of value would be sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in Jacksonville for examination.
He also said that authorities remain hopeful that Haleigh will be found and returned to her home.
Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy said, earlier Friday, that law officers were expanding their search territory to include some difficult-to-navigate places that are thick with brush.
Since Haleigh was discovered missing early Tuesday, investigators have received more than 350 leads, Hardy said.
Hardy declined to address the issue of whether Misty Croslin — the girlfriend of Haleigh's father — has changed her story in any substantial way. First reports indicated that Croslin, who is 17, had been sleeping in the same bed as Haleigh. Later, the girlfriend said they were in the same room but different beds.
The children and Croslin were asleep in the master bedroom, Haleigh on one bed close to the television set and she and Ronald Cummings Jr., 3, in another bed, according to Croslin.
Misty Croslin has been the girlfriend of Haleigh Cummings’ father, Ronald Cummings, for five months, lives in his house and has been the primary caretaker of Haleigh and her younger brother, Croslin told The Sun on Friday.
The 17-year-old said that she loves the children as if they were her own and that they love her as well.
“I always stay with the kids,” she said. “I had them 24/7, except for the four days out of the month when they would go to their mom’s.”
In all, more than 200 volunteers were on the ground Friday and at least 50 law officers.

George Anthony Helps In Missing Haleigh Cummings Case
Haleigh Cummings Considered Abducted
George Anthony just said good-bye to his murdered 2-year-old. Now, another child is missing and he is there to help. Five-year-old, Haleigh Cummings disappeared from their Satsum, Florida, home on the very day that the memorial for Caylee Anthony was held.
George had lunch with Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings and spoke to the media afterward.
"We've become members of a unique club, and the club is there to help," said Anthony. "I want them to take care of themselves. They need to eat, they need to sleep, they need the community's help."
In a jailhouse phone conversation with his daughter, Casey, last summer, George said he was going to be helping find other missing children and he has kept true to his word this week.
Maj. Gary Bowling of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said investigators now suspect the child likely was abducted rather than simply having wandered away from home this week, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel said Thursday.
There's no reason to believe the child wandered off. It's a five year old child. Common sense tells us all , as parents, that we know that five year olds are afraid to walk down the hall in the dark so it's very unlikely that they'll walk outside."

Bounty Hunter, Leonard Padilla, has involved himself in this case and is offering a $25,000 for Haleigh's safe return. At a staging area near Cummings' house, he said that curiosity had drawn him to the scene.
"It was either this or Universal [Studios]" he said.
