Officials Don't Know What Haleigh Was Wearing
Investigators Have Pink Shirt They Thought She Wore

PALATKA, Fla. -- Authorities updated the Amber Alert for Haleigh Cummings on Tuesday, because they no longer know what clothes she was wearing when she disappeared a week ago.

Earlier, investigators said the 5-year-old girl was wearing a pink shirt, but that shirt has been located. Now, officials do not know what clothing the girl was wearing when she was reported missing from her Putnam County home on Feb. 19.



The ground search for Haleigh Cummings comes to an end.
 

At a 4 p.m. news conference, investigators would make no comment about the pink shirt.

At the county's emergency operations center in Palatka, officials have fielded hundreds of calls from people who believe they may have a clue to Haleigh's whereabouts.

At a news briefing on Tuesday, Putnam County Sheriff's Office Capt. Steve Rose said authorities are following several good leads they received while canvassing the neighborhood where Haleigh vanished one week ago.

I have lost a friend I have known on IRC for 14 years today and am a bit scattered. He was ill for a long time, but we all thought he was improving. He passed away suddenly.

I am on page 21 of this document (54 pages total!)

I am unsure of the date of the hearing I am reading about. It was filed on Jan. 4 2007, apparently, but it has  Dec. 27, 2005 as the date on the paper.

Anyone can help me out? When was the hearing (questioning) happening?

Thanks.

I'm so sorry Brandi about your friend. It's hard to know what to say, but hugs for you.

I don't know what document you're looking at, but I may follow the link and see what's up. I haven't followed Haleigh's case too closely. Not that she doesn't matter, because she DOES; the whole situation has just been making me so crabby that I had to step away.

[no rose colored glasses]

Very sorry for your loss Brandi.

So could SHE have propped the door open?  Could Haleigh have wandered out?

I heard that also, also rumor has it that Misty was on a three day bender, Ronald found her that Monday and brought her home. If this is true and then Ronald went to work and left those kids with Misty, he in my opinion is as much to blame as Misty.

I again have to ask, how long do we think it will be before bio mom stomps Misty's arse to get the truth out of her... Me?? I would have done it within the first 24 hours personally.. but,that is just me.

I think its coming, age is the only thing keeping her from it IMO, but eventually I think she will get her,  and I wanna see it myself.

One week later: Where's Haleigh?

SATSUMA - Haleigh Cummings vanished a week ago.

Authorities marked that depressing anniversary about 5 p.m. Monday by imposing roadblocks and going door-to-door in the 5-year-old's South Putnam County neighborhood.

The show of force was exactly one week after Haleigh was last seen in public by neighbors in Hermits Cove.

*
More than 100 local, state and federal officers combined for the sweep.

"We're checking people coming in and out of the area in hopes that they might have seen something," Rick Ryan, chief deputy of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, said as officers worked in the twilight nearby.

The sweep was designed to include any residents who may have been away from home when Haleigh disappeared, Ryan said.

"There's a possibility someone who might have seen something was on vacation," he said. "There is nothing that prompted this. We didn't get any tips or anything like that today."

The sweep is part of the state Child Abduction Response Team plan the sheriff's office implemented within hours of Haleigh's disappearance, Ryan said.

Questions asked of residents and motorists included names, vehicle descriptions, how often they travel the area and what and who did they see a week ago.

"If they didn't see any of that, we're asking them if there is anything else they want to tell us about the situation," Ryan said.

At the roadblock on Buffalo Bluff Road, deputy sheriff Nicole Quintieri asked motorist Reginald Robinson the list of questions.

"If you hear anything that would help us, please call us at the sheriff's office," she said.

Robinson said deputies were "doing the right thing."

"I have two daughters of my own and I live 10 miles down the road," he said. "This is real scary, especially when you have two daughters of your own."

Meanwhile, at a press conference Monday afternoon in Palatka, Sheriff Jeff Hardy urged residents to remain positive.

"Don't lose hope. In fact right now, hope is probably the best thing that we have," Hardy said. "We have hope that we're gong to find Haleigh and bring her home alive."

He said investigators were re-interviewing people they have already questioned including Haleigh's family members "and their associates."

The reason is simple, Hardy said.

"We don't have all of our questions answered and we don't have Haleigh," he said.

Hardy, however, declined to specify where leads have taken investigators.

"This search is not limited to Putnam County, I can tell you that," he said.

Haleigh was last seen Monday night asleep at home, Misty Croslin has told authorities. Croslin, 17, is the girlfriend of Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, and was babysitting Haleigh.

Haleigh was reported missing ay 3:27 a.m. Feb. 10.

As a full week has passed since with no sign of Haleigh, the response of authorities has gone from widespread to more focused, with officers engaging in what Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent Dominick Pape called "a tactical search" following leads.

For instance, about 60 lawmen checked an area south of Satsuma during the day Monday.

Pape described this as "the next mode" in the case.

"We don't stop searching," Pape said. "We will continue searching until she is found."

Gigantic sweeps of woods and swamp by volunteers on horses, four-wheelers and on foot have been scaled back or even stopped.

EquuSearch, the Texas-based organization of specially trained horse-borne searchers, packed up and left on Monday after several days in Putnam County

"With all the ground we covered, it's getting frustrating," Tim Miller, the group's founder, said Sunday.

Miller, who took Haleigh's father on horseback during Sunday's search, said the group had done its best.

"I guarantee you that everything is covered," Miller said. "We won't hear of a deer hunter next year finding her. We just haven't been lucky enough to find her."

Items found on the ground by searchers are being examined by crime lab specialists, but nothing related to Haleigh's disappearance has been recovered by volunteers, Hardy said.

Meanwhile, the criminal investigation launched shortly after Haleigh disappeared continued in earnest Monday.

Investigators questioned several people, including relatives of Haleigh, on Monday, Hardy said.

The investigation into Haleigh's disappearance, which Hardy has labeled an abduction, is a cooperative effort of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, FBI and FDLE.

More than 500 tips have been phoned in to the sheriff's office.

"We're continuing to receive numerous tips and we're continuing to diligently follow up on each and every one of them," Hardy said.

There have been a couple of false sightings reported to authorities, Hardy said.

"People are on edge and a bit nervous," he said.

Authorities are still asking for the public's help in finding Haleigh and identifying who took her. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (888) 277-8477.

Staff writer Chris DeVitto contributed to this report.

But again, how far could Misty have carried her ?
As for him, do we know who else last saw the kids ? And when ?
He went to work for 6. Has that been confirmed ? 
Seems that Haleigh's last known presense has to be verified by other people.
Heck, even the Bio Mom wasn't sure if the kid went to school.

I could be wrong but I expect this by the end of the week

Murt Admits Killing Trenton Duckett & Others

Murt had a private conversation that was later published for the public to see. These are the links that he admits to being responsible for the death of Trenton Duckett, which I am sure he is lying, but he also discusses killing other children and his "age of attraction". You make your own decision about the links.

They contain graphic language, and if you are offended easily you are advised not to read them.
