Haleigh_Cummings

Flashforward 3 months and 5 year old Haleigh Cummings is still missing. According to all reports,  no new information has been released by investigators in the past weeks. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said it was not clear if Haleigh was abducted as the trailer had no signs of forced entry and a door was ajar. What happened to Haleigh Cummings?

DCF still investigating Cummings case

The state Department of Children and Families continues to review abuse allegations made by the mother of Haleigh Cummings regarding the status of Haleigh’s younger brother, Ronald Cummings Jr., who lives with his father.

“The investigation is still going on,” John Harrell, spokesman for the DCF in Jacksonville, said. “We have been given information and we are continuing to investigate.”

Where’s Haleigh? Leads Dwindle Nearly 3 Months Later

The Haleigh Cummings command center is no longer located at the Putnam County emergency operations center. Tips and leads have dwindled from several thousand to just a few.

“They dropped off from several hundred a day to just several a day now,” Shauland said.

Haleigh’s house is quiet. The landlord says no one has been around for days. Only pictures, prayers and words of hope are left behind.

The fact of the matter is, whether the Haleigh Cummings’ story is on every night on cable news or not, Haleigh, like all missing children, needs to be found.
