Sheriff's Office To Hold News Conference In Haleigh Cummings Case
6-Year-Old Girl Went Missing From Satsuma Home In February 2009

SATSUMA, Fla. -- The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is set to hold a news conference in the Haleigh Cummings investigation Tuesday afternoon.

Deputies from four counties and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement were searching the St. Johns River south of Satsuma Tuesday, and authorities confirmed the search is connected to the Haleigh Cummings investigation.

Putnam County Sheriff's Office Lt. Johnny Greenwood said the search was prompted by one of over 5,000 leads received by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office since the then-5-year-old girl disappeared from her bed in her father's mobile home 14 months ago.

The sheriff's office was not releasing the exact location of the search effort in an attempt to prevent congestion from onlookers. Channel 4's Tarik Minor said the search of an area less than 5 miles south of where Haleigh disappeared in February 2008 was prompted by a "credible tip."

"Although various resources are being utilized to conduct this search, it is just one of many operations conducted during this investigation," Greenwood said in a media release Tuesday morning. "Due to the sensitivity of this investigation, the name of the person providing the tip and the physical evidence alleged to be in this area, will not be released."

Minor called the search effort "massive," and included deputies from Putnam, Clay and Marion counties, as well as the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. He said cadaver dogs were also brought to the scene.

I'm holding my breath, this is big. They said both grandmothers were called to the SO and left appearing distraught.....

No press conference now per investigator....... stay tuned! kh

Ok.... so now a sherrif is talkin......... he says he just wanted to say that he brought the family together to have a private conversation with them and for the time being it will remain private. He does confirm that Misty has been moved. He said more will be disclosed at the appropriate time. kh

Sherrif: "We have not found Haleigh, yet" (yet?) kh

When she asked if this has changed from a missing persons case to a homicide, he said that would be decided later.

One of the reporters ran into Misty's parents at a gas station. He said Misty's father didn't want to talk. He said if the sheriff wouldn't tell them, he couldn't either and they wanted to be left alone.

Ron was brought into the sheriff's office from his jail cell while the family was in the conference.

The water search is 3 to 5 feet deep at the end of the boat ramp....Misty is being brought in to be interviewed, but they won't say where she is right now.

And the reporter stated how forthcoming all of the family was with the media in the past. She said they were always willing to talk, but Teresa Neves isn't even returning her calls. The silence is definitely a sign, that and the family meeting with the sheriff.

I think it was Ron's aunt that was asked "Were you surprised by what you were told?" And she answered "No". And that's all she would say.

This is something BIG. I just know it. kh

I had a feeling they wouldn't say much at the press conference. I hope we get some news soon. I'm very curious to find out who the tipster was and what was found.
