Satsuma Girl Verified As Abducted

Satsuma Girl Verified As Abducted and the police are still searching for missing Harleigh Cummings, 5 years old. The authorities are investigating whether the woman who reported her missing, was at home during the time the girl vanished.

“It’s a tip we’re following up on,” Capt. Dick Schauland of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said that they were following up on a tip that they received that Misty Croslin was not home after Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings was last seen on the night of February 9, 2009.

Misty Croslin, 17, is the girlfriend of Ronald Cummings, 24. Why his girl friend is underage and taking care of his two children is not a question I would want to be explaining to the police.

Police are pretty tight lipped about whether Croslin had changed her story about where she was when the girl disappeared, though he called the tip “a very important one.” “I don’t know that you can say her story is changing,” Schauland said. “I don’t know if it’s a true tip or not. It may not be valid.”

Haleigh’s father’s alibi, that he was at work, had been confirmed. So, other then dating a minor he is out in the clear.

Authorities believe girl was abducted. Even though there have been more than 1,200 tips in the Satsuma

Since opening the case a week ago, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has received more than 1,200 tips about the Satsuma Girl Verified As Abducted case, they are not any closer in solving the case.

Misty Croslin told police she was watching Haleigh when she went missing sometime before dawn last Tuesday. Cummings shares his double-wide mobile home with Misty, his daughter Haleigh and his 4 year old son in the town of Satsuma, east of Gainesville, Florida.

When the father returned home around 3 a.m. he was surprised to see his girlfriend awake and asked her why she was up. It was then that she told him she awoke to find the trailer door open and discovered that Haleigh was missing.

Misty waited until Cummings came home to phone 911 about the girl’s disappearance, though it’s unclear how long that time period was, since she has already lied about the whole abduction.

Police said last week that Misty had tucked the girl and her brother into bed at 8 p.m. before going to sleep at 10 p.m. It is the norm that Harleigh,the boy and Misty usually sleep in the same bed.

Officials originally thought Haleigh may have wandered outside on her own, but they are now certain that she was abducted. Her father told the authorities from the jump start that Harleigh was afraid of the dark and would not have gone outside by her self.

Authorities are looking into various angles of the case, including finding out the location of 44 registered sexual offenders who live within a five mile radius of the Cummings home, said Lt. Johnny Greenwood of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

Late Tuesday police announced that they have changed the Amber Alert they originally put out for the girl. They originally said she was wearing a pink shirt, but the shirt has since been found, Schauland said Wednesday.

“Now what we need people to focus on is the face because we do not know at this time what the clothing was at this point,” said Dominick Pape, with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
