Grandmother of missing girl: 'Just bring her back'
Helen Eckinger and Gary Taylor |Sentinel Staff Writers4:01 PM EST, February 11, 2009
SATSUMA - Five-year-old Haleigh Cummings is afraid of the dark and would not have wandered off into the night, her family told the Orlando entinel today as investigators stepped up a massive search for the Putnam County girl.
The girl's disappearance was classified as an abduction today.
Haleigh, who is nicknamed Doodlebug, lives with her father and his girlfriend in this rural county about 80 miles north of Orlando.
Her father, Ronald Cummings, 25, put Haleigh to bed about 10 p.m. Monday before he left for work. His 17-year-old girlfriend, Misty Croslin, noticed Haleigh was missing about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday.
"Haleigh is a very indoor-type child," Haleigh's maternal grandmother, Marie Griffis, said today. "If she goes outside, she wants you to be with her -- she would never go outside by herself in the dark."
Griffis said Haleigh is bright and loves drawing, makeup and playing with gadgets. She said that if someone has abducted Haleigh, she hopes the person will release the girl.
"Just bring her back," Griffis said. "There are plenty of places you can drop off a kid, no questions asked."
Detective John Merchant of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said that a screen door on the side of the couple's Satsuma home had been propped open with a block, but authorities found no obvious signs of forced entry.
"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.
Merchant 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."
In addition to Putnam County deputies, officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Volusia, Marion and Flagler Sheriff's Offices are searching for Haleigh.
Search dogs are combing through woods in the area, and divers are searching the nearby St. Johns River.
Officials said Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, 23, was in Baker County near the Florida-Georgia state line at the time of her daughter's disappearance. Sheffield was talking with investigators today in Putnam County.
In the 911 call originally placed by Croslin, Haleigh's father told officials he needed their help immediately.
"I just got home from work, and my 5-year-old daughter is gone," he said, seeming to become more agitated as the call progressed. "I need somebody to be here now, I'm telling you. "If I find whoever has my daughter before you do, I'm killing them," he said. "I don't care if I have to spend the rest of my life in prison."
He apparently hung up on the dispatcher, who then called back, trying to get additional information from Croslin, while constantly assuring her that deputies were on the way.
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.
Meanwhile, a volunteer group from Houston that helped look for Caylee Marie Anthony in Orlando last year, said it is gearing up to help in the search for Haleigh. Caylee's remains were found in December, and her public memorial was Tuesday.
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.
"It's pretty ironic. We have another child disappear seven hours before Caylee's memorial," he said.
Bounty hunter Leonard Padilla is joining the ranks headed for Putnam County. He and his crew -- including bounty hunter Rob Dick -- plan to drive 80 miles north, where a command center has been set up to search for the missing girl.
Padilla said he's going to see what's happening up there and will help if needed.
Anyone with information about Haleigh's whereabouts is asked to call the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 386-329-0808.

SATSUMA, Fla. - The same group of people who helped in the search for missing toddler Caylee Anthony are now lending a hand to help find 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings.
Joshua Duckett, father of missing toddler Trenton Duckett, has already arrived in Satsuma to help the Cummings family.
A team from Kindfinders Network is also on their way. The team plans to send out mailers to help put Haleigh?s face in the public view. There are already flyers up on houses and cars, giving information about the missing girl.
Detectives from the Putnam County Sheriffs Office said there were child custody issues between the girls mother and father, but there was no indication those issues have anything to do with the girls disappearance.
K-9 units have been on the ground helping scour nearby areas for Haleigh, but so far they have turned up nothing.
Detectives said the screen door at the girls home was propped open and may not have been locked. They questioned an air conditioning repairman earlier that day and he has checked out.
FOX 35 recently learned that the girls father, Ronald, was arrested in 2006 for trespassing after warning. He bonded out on a $504 bail.
A Florida Amber Alert was issued for Haleigh on Tuesday. Authorities believe she was abducted. Haleigh?s family plans to hold their second candelight vigil tonight at 8:30 p.m.
Lets hope Tim tells Kid Finders, "NO THANKS"

I truly think Caylees case has caused America to look at missing children in a different light. I think people will continue to come together and help look for our missing kids. I did see an article that said some people were flying to FL to help look. I had never heard of that before Caylee. Also, LP would not me in the area to offer a reward had it not been for Caylee. What a wonderful child she was and the things she is still doing....

Florida detectives say they believe a 5-year-old girl who vanished from her bed Tuesday morning was abducted — and they aren't overlooking anyone, including family members, as suspects.
Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings reportedly vanished from her bed before dawn on Tuesday.
The child was reported missing by her father Ronald Cummings and his 17-year-old girlfriend Misty Croslin.
Click here for photos.
"It is never safe to say that a family member is not a suspect," Putnam County Sheriff's spokesman Gary Bowling told reporters at a Wednesday press conference. "However, all the world is a suspect right now."
Bowling said Croslin, Cummings and the child's mother, Crystal Sheffield, as well as several others have been questioned in the case. Police have given them all the chance to take lie detector tests.
"Every person that we’re interviewing we’ve offered a polygraph to," Bowling said. "I can’t say who has and hasn’t taken a polygraph. ... It's to give them a chance to eliminate themselves as a suspect."
Investigators conducted a second day of ground and air searches Wednesday for Haleigh.
"This child didn't voluntarily walk out of her home. If she did, someone took her," Bowling said earlier.
There were still no firm leads in the case, despite police interviews with Cummings, Croslin and sex offenders in the area.
Haleigh, her 2-year-old brother and Croslin went to bed in the same room in the family's mobile home at about 10 p.m. Monday night, investigators said. Croslin told deputies the little girl got up between 3 and 3:30 a.m. to go to the bathroom.
About the same time, Cummings arrived home from work. When they went into the bedroom, he and Croslin say they discovered that Haleigh had vanished.
The back door was open, but investigators didn't find any sign of forced entry.
Cummings said his daughter is afraid of the dark and wouldn't wander away by herself.

"Somebody stole my child," he said. "Trust me when I tell you that I know my child."
Investigators say Croslin is now with her family, but they're not calling her a suspect nor are they revealing whether the child's father is a focus of the investigation.
"I don't know that for sure," Putnam County Sheriff's Sgt. Jason Nettles told FOXNews.com on Tuesday.
Haleigh's grandfather, Johnny Sheffield, said he was distraught about the girl's disappearance and characterized Croslin as suspicious, though he admitted he didn't know much about her, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.
Cummings said his girlfriend was awake and frantic after she found Haleigh was gone.
But in the police report, obtained by FOX News, Cummings reportedly told officers that his "dumb bitch girlfriend" told him Haleigh was gone when he got home from work.
"Ronald said that he did not know what Haleigh was wearing, and that all he knew was that the back door was standing open. Ronald repeatedly said that someone had taken his child and also said 'When I find him I'll kill him,'" police wrote in the report.
He referred to a 9mm Beretta handgun he owns and said if authorities found his daughter's kidnapper, "he would shoot them through the back window of the patrol car," the police report said.
Croslin and Cummings called 911 after discovering the girl was missing, according to the report. The tapes were released Wednesday.
Detectives wrote that they followed a path that led behind the home and found what appeared to be a child's footprint in the dirt, though Cummings said his daughter's shoes were in the house.
Police had never been called to the home in the past — but there have been prior problems with Cummings, Croslin and the children, said Putnam County Capt. Steve Rose.
"There have been some investigations done through the department of children and family," Rose told FOX News on Wednesday. He didn't elaborate.
The child lives with the couple and her little brother in Putnam County, Fla. Nettles said he didn't know whether further interviews with them were planned.
Nettles told FOXNews.com that the hunt for Haleigh got under way Wednesday morning, with more helicopter searches as well as more on the ground using K-9 units.
Deputies say they have questioned 44 registered sex offenders who live within five miles of Haleigh's home, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.
Nettles said he couldn't confirm whether authorities were worried a sex offender might have abducted Haleigh.
"I don't think they've ruled anything out," he told FOXNews.com on Tuesday.
An air conditioner repair man who was at the home on Monday was questioned after police found out about his house call but cleared him of any wrongdoing.
Local and state authorities and the FBI searched for Haleigh in neighbors' homes and vehicles leaving her neighborhood on the St. Johns River, as well as in the nearby river and woods for signs of the girl. The effort lasted through the night Tuesday.
Investigators are asking for the public's help. Leads have been minimal, according to authorities.
Crystal Sheffield made a tearful plea about her little girl on TV news Tuesday night.
"I just want to say, 'Bring her back home. Please,'" Sheffield said.
Rose said Sheffield doesn't live in the area but traveled to Putnam County after she learned of her daughter's disappearance and has been interviewed.
"She is cooperating," Rose told FOX News.
The family held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night and said they plan to continue with the vigils until the child comes home.
Haleigh is 3 feet tall with blond hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt and underwear.
Anyone with information about the girl is urged to contact the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at (386) 329-0800 or 911

"It is never safe to say that a family member is not a suspect," Putnam County Sheriff's spokesman Gary Bowling told reporters at a Wednesday press conference. "However, all the world is a suspect right now."
Bowling said Croslin, Cummings and the child's mother, Crystal Sheffield, as well as several others have been questioned in the case. Police have given them all the chance to take lie detector tests.
"Every person that we’re interviewing we’ve offered a polygraph to," Bowling said. "I can’t say who has and hasn’t taken a polygraph. ... It's to give them a chance to eliminate themselves as a suspect."
Investigators conducted a second day of ground and air searches Wednesday for Haleigh.
"This child didn't voluntarily walk out of her home. If she did, someone took her," Bowling said earlier.
There were still no firm leads in the case, despite police interviews with Cummings, Croslin and sex offenders in the area.
Haleigh, her 2-year-old brother and Croslin went to bed in the same room in the family's mobile home at about 10 p.m. Monday night, investigators said. Croslin told deputies the little girl got up between 3 and 3:30 a.m. to go to the bathroom.
About the same time, Cummings arrived home from work. When they went into the bedroom, he and Croslin say they discovered that Haleigh had vanished.
The back door was open, but investigators didn't find any sign of forced entry.
Cummings said his daughter is afraid of the dark and wouldn't wander away by herself.

"Somebody stole my child," he said. "Trust me when I tell you that I know my child."
Investigators say Croslin is now with her family, but they're not calling her a suspect nor are they revealing whether the child's father is a focus of the investigation.
"I don't know that for sure," Putnam County Sheriff's Sgt. Jason Nettles told FOXNews.com on Tuesday.
Haleigh's grandfather, Johnny Sheffield, said he was distraught about the girl's disappearance and characterized Croslin as suspicious, though he admitted he didn't know much about her, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.
Cummings said his girlfriend was awake and frantic after she found Haleigh was gone.
But in the police report, obtained by FOX News, Cummings reportedly told officers that his "dumb bitch girlfriend" told him Haleigh was gone when he got home from work.
"Ronald said that he did not know what Haleigh was wearing, and that all he knew was that the back door was standing open. Ronald repeatedly said that someone had taken his child and also said 'When I find him I'll kill him,'" police wrote in the report.
He referred to a 9mm Beretta handgun he owns and said if authorities found his daughter's kidnapper, "he would shoot them through the back window of the patrol car," the police report said.
Croslin and Cummings called 911 after discovering the girl was missing, according to the report. The tapes were released Wednesday.
Detectives wrote that they followed a path that led behind the home and found what appeared to be a child's footprint in the dirt, though Cummings said his daughter's shoes were in the house.
Police had never been called to the home in the past — but there have been prior problems with Cummings, Croslin and the children, said Putnam County Capt. Steve Rose.
"There have been some investigations done through the department of children and family," Rose told FOX News on Wednesday. He didn't elaborate.
The child lives with the couple and her little brother in Putnam County, Fla. Nettles said he didn't know whether further interviews with them were planned.
Nettles told FOXNews.com that the hunt for Haleigh got under way Wednesday morning, with more helicopter searches as well as more on the ground using K-9 units.
Deputies say they have questioned 44 registered sex offenders who live within five miles of Haleigh's home, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.
Nettles said he couldn't confirm whether authorities were worried a sex offender might have abducted Haleigh.
"I don't think they've ruled anything out," he told FOXNews.com on Tuesday.
An air conditioner repair man who was at the home on Monday was questioned after police found out about his house call but cleared him of any wrongdoing.
Local and state authorities and the FBI searched for Haleigh in neighbors' homes and vehicles leaving her neighborhood on the St. Johns River, as well as in the nearby river and woods for signs of the girl. The effort lasted through the night Tuesday.
Investigators are asking for the public's help. Leads have been minimal, according to authorities.
Crystal Sheffield made a tearful plea about her little girl on TV news Tuesday night.
"I just want to say, 'Bring her back home. Please,'" Sheffield said.
Rose said Sheffield doesn't live in the area but traveled to Putnam County after she learned of her daughter's disappearance and has been interviewed.
"She is cooperating," Rose told FOX News.
The family held a candlelight vigil Tuesday night and said they plan to continue with the vigils until the child comes home.
Haleigh is 3 feet tall with blond hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink shirt and underwear.
Anyone with information about the girl is urged to contact the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at (386) 329-0800 or 911

Also, LP would not me in the area to offer a reward had it not been for Caylee. What a wonderful child she was and the things she is still doing....
Agreed. I hope someone didn't do this horrible thing because they have seen how much money and stuff the Anthonys have gotten over the past months.

I wondered that too. So far, I can't find the dad's myspace, he may not have one. He may not have a facebook, either. I'm going to look for the mom's in a second...

I pray that is not the case...we just have way too much of this....I wonder if some times people don't try to overdo it because of what they have heard from previous stories of parents not acting sincere or upset enough...I hope that is the case here.

i'm just catching up with this story and it seems as if the father is 25 y/o with a 17 y/o g/f....hmmmm...
I'm watching him on NG....maybe KC's case has made me extremely critical...but something seems out of sorts...he's either highly medicated, in shock or something...
