Haleigh Marie Cummings #16 6/03/09 - 6/26/09

Sorry no rose if that came off a little harsh, it wasn't meant that way, please forgive me

No problem, I'm just confused by all of this. That is very costly to do what LE is doing, just trying to make sense of this 

Detective Dominic Piscitello says they were called by Crystal Sheffield's family to let them know they had recently buried a horse on their Baker County farmland.

Piscitello says they informed Putnam County officials just in case anyone speculated about their missing child, Haleigh Cummings. But investigators came to the Glen St. Mary property just to make sure.

Island, you beat me too it, I was just going to post the same article. I have no idea how they searched that area properly. Now I wonder whose property they are off to next? And shouldn't this have been done sooner?

I agree toooo much time has lapsed and no excuse for it.  THEY ARE SEARCHING ON A TIP that came in earlier.

Anything is possible could have been a set up by somone and took Haleigh to the Griffis property.  Time will tell, I guess...when they find Haleigh.

Is it just me or is this one of the most craziest reasons to go searching and diving and digging, and spending all that money to do so, and then go over to another relatives property? I'm not buying this at all.

[Heart]

I called Crystal Sheffield’s attorney Kim Picazio for a statement. Picazio would only say that search was conducted at the request of Crystal’s family members.
So Crystal's family members wanted the search of their own property 

No reflection on you NRCG, but I am simply amazed at how Kim Picazio has so much free time to converse with every Tom, Dick, or Harry that wants to give her a ring-a-ding, exchange e-mails with strangers, and post on forums.

I wonder if Kim is currently handling others cases besides Crystals.

Especially when the some of the counties are cutting back like this one:

The search for Haleigh Cummings was reinvigorated Friday morning.

About 40 officers from multiple law-enforcement agencies converged on the Baker County home of Crystal Sheffield, the mother of the 5-year-old Satsuma girl who went missing in February.

Capt. Dominic Piscitello of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said authorities scoured about 40 acres and searched two bodies of water in and around Sheffield's family farm in Glen St. Mary. The search wrapped about 2 p.m. with no major developments.

He said family members told authorities they'd buried horses, cows and goats on the property, and investigators wanted to ensure the only remains were of the four-legged variety.

"We searched just about everything and came up empty," Piscitello said.

A forensic archaeologist said all the bones excavated by backhoes and manpower were animal in origin. Piscitello said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement did a preliminary search of Sheffield's home the day Haleigh went missing, but this was the first full-scale investigation at the property.

Authorities from Putnam, Baker and Duval counties and the FDLE, clad in wide-brimmed hats and protective clothing, braved the 90-degree heat and tall grass for about four hours.  Members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office dive team and cadaver-sniffing dogs were also called in to assist.

Kim Picazio, a South Florida attorney who is representing Sheffield for free, said her client's family requested the search a few weeks ago to dispel any lingering accusations against Haleigh's mother.

"It was a way to protect the family from any allegations of wrongdoing," Picazio said. "They wanted a proper search on their property to make it clear to the world that Haleigh isn't there," she said.

Piscitello declined to comment if Sheffield and her family had advance notice of the search, but he said they signed a consent form allowing officers to come onto the property without a search warrant.

But William "Cobra" Staubs, a South Florida bounty hunter and former associate of Picazio's who helped in the hunt for Haleigh, said Sheffield was told last Friday about the upcoming search.

"They definitely knew about it ahead of time," he said.

This is the first large-scale operation in almost two months, authorities said. Investigators have been slogging through thousands of tips regarding the Satsuma girl's disappearance, and Piscitello said they haven't stopped  for the kindergartner with the sandy brown hair.

"We'll leave no stone unturned," he said. "We haven't given up. Not for one second."

"We are going back over our notes and conducting secondary searches. There has not been any new information leading us that way. We are pretty much going to dig up the horse," Greenwood said. "There is no information that she is buried there at all. We just want to cover our bases to make sure we don't leave any stone unturned."

Several agencies were assisting in the search, including Baker and Duval county sheriff's offices.

Greenwood said it was likely the search of Griffis' property would wrap up on Friday.

"We are checking every place more than one time," he said. "Just because we checked it before doesn't mean we didn't miss something."
