Fathers *girlfriend* is only 17 herself. If this story has the details
right, 'the kid got up to go to the bathroom at 3:00 a..m. when daddy got
home from work, and then simply disappeared with both girlfriend and daddy
up and right there? whole different thing from 'waking up and she was
gone'. Either this story is confused or something doesn't add up here.

SATSUMA, Fla. - Putnam County Sheriff's deputies are now calling the case of
a missing 5-year-old girl an abduction.
On Wednesday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the FBI and the
Putnam County Sheriff's Office resumed the search for Haleigh Ann-Marie
Cummings. Deputies say Haleigh was last seen Monday night at 10 p.m. in her
mobile home on Green Lane.
According to investigators, Haleigh, her 2-year-old brother and her father's
17-year-old girlfriend, Mistie Croslin, went to bed in the same room.
Deputies say Croslin told them that the little girl got up to go to the
bathroom around 3:30 a.m.
It was around the same time Haleigh's father, Ronald, got home from work.
When they went back into the bedroom they discovered Haleigh was gone.
Investigators say the back door was wide open, but won't say if there was
any forced entry.
Last night Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield cried in front of the news
cameras. "I just want to say bring her back home. Please," she said.
Haleigh's father Ronald Cummings says his daughter was afraid of the dark
and wouldn't wander off by herself. "Somebody stole my child, trust me when
I tell you that I know my child," he said.
Family members spent the night at a candlelight vigil. They say they will
continue the vigil until Haleigh returns home.
Today, Haleigh's grandfather Johnny Sheffield told FOX 35 that he was
distraught over the disappearance of his granddaughter. He says he does not
know much about Ronald's girlfriend, Mistie Croslin, but thinks she is
suspicious.
Investigators say Croslin is now with her family. They are not calling her a
suspect at this time. Haleigh's grandmother Marie Griffis is also pleading
to the public for help. She told FOX 35 that Trenton Duckett's father is
assisting in the search, as well as other search teams.
However, Gary Bowling, a spokesperson for the Putnam County Sheriff's
Office, says right now, they are not asking for volunteers to help. Twenty
five law enforcement agencies have assisted so far, including crews from
Marion, Flagler and Volusia counties. Deputies say they have questioned 44
sex offenders who live within five miles of Haleigh's home. "This child
didn't voluntarily walk out of her home. If she did someone took her,"
Bowling said.
Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings is 5-years-old. She is 3 feet tall, weighs 39
lbs, has blonde hair and brown eyes. She was last seen on Green Lane in the
Hermit's Cove area of Satsuma. She was wearing a pink shirt and underwear.
Anyone with information should call the Putnam County Sheriffs Office at
386-329-0808.
