Haleigh Cummings Missing (Hover)
Unfortunately, reading the amount of cases of missing kids under these circumstances, a father...a girlfriend in the middle. Hmmmm sounds like foul play to me. I really hope to be wrong on this one.

Investigators in northeast Florida questioned the father of a missing 5-year-old girl who his girlfriend says wasn't in her bed when they checked on her, police told FOXNews.com. Putnam County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Jason Nettles said he didn't have information on whether or not Haleigh Cummings' father, Ronald Cummings, and girlfriend are suspects in her Tuesday disappearance. "I don't know that for sure," he told FOXNews.com. Both were interviewed Tuesday by authorities. The child lives with the couple in Putnam County, Fla. "The girlfriend and the father are cooperating with police," Special Agent Steve Donaway of the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement told an afternoon news conference. Investigators also were interviewing others in the case, according to Nettles - including sex offenders in the area. Local and state authorities and the FBI searched Tuesday for Haleigh in neighbors' homes and vehicles leaving her neighborhood on the St. Johns River. An Amber Alert was issued Tuesday for Haleigh, and authorities with dogs and ground search crews were hunting in the nearby river and woods for signs of the girl, who apparently disappeared before dawn. "It could be an abduction. We're looking at it from all angles," Donaway said. Leads have been minimal, he said, and investigators are asking for the public's help. Haleigh was reported missing after her father's girlfriend told police she discovered the child wasn't in her bed about 3 a.m. Cummings said his girlfriend was awake and frantic that Haleigh was missing from her bed. The woman said the back door to the home was not locked at the time. Police found the door to the trailer unlocked when they arrived, but no sign of forced entry, according to Donaway. Several registered sex offenders reportedly live in the vicinity of the missing girl's home in Satsuma, Fla. Donaway said they've all been identified, and either have been or will be interviewed by police. Nettles said he couldn't confirm whether authorities were worried a sex offender might have abducted Haleigh.... |

I really hope they find this little girl... But most times if somebody has been that determined and that outright to enter a home a take a sleeping child, things don't tend to turn out well.
I hope I'm proved wrong in this theory, and that she will be found safe and well.

Something smells fishy here. The girlfriend of the father of this child is only 17 years old! What is a 25 years old man doing in a relationship with someone so young? I fear the worst.

I know it doesn't seem right at all, I was just trying not to make assumptions.
It seems to be too meticulously planned to be anything other than 'an inside job'.
Too many things seem to have been already sorted before the police arrived.
I'm just hoping that they find her.
Every child should have the right to sleep safely at night in their own bed.

Girlfriend is changing her story. It seems like she was not home when Haleigh went missing. So she was home alone? Even more scary.
