Haleigh's Mom's family says "thanks" with cookout for helpers

* Interesting article & maybe similarities with Madeleine's case?

SATSUMA — For nearly six weeks, the people of southern Putnam County and elsewhere have turned out to support the search for missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings. On Sunday her mother’s family wanted to give back thanks.

Hamburgers and hot dogs sizzled on a grill and side dishes stood ready for any who heeded the signs offering free food and thanks in equal portions.

The cookout also was a chance to showcase a place where those interested in the case can come to talk. Painted one of the still missing kindergartner’s favorite colors, the low purple building will serve as a center to collect information anyone may wish to share.

“Sometimes people don’t want to talk to the cops if they have skeletons in their closet,” said Connie Sheffield, Haleigh’s stepgrandmother. In the small rural community, people may know things they are reluctant to discuss.

Anyone with information about the case can come forward at the center, she said.

“We have to be cautious,” she acknowledged, “but not afraid.”

Many at the cookout early Sunday afternoon were veterans of the search for Haleigh, who vanished Feb. 10 from a mobile home where she was asleep in a room with her father’s then-girlfriend, Misty Croslin. Ronald Cummings has since married the 17-year-old.

Hundreds of law enforcement searchers and volunteers have combed woods and the nearby St. Johns River.

“We figured it would be a nice way to thank the community,” said Marie Griffis, whose daughter, Crystal Sheffield, is Haleigh’s mother.

Crystal Sheffield, who lives in Baker County, has been estranged from Ronald Cummings for several years.

Griffis said the center gives her daughter a way to focus on the investigation.

“It’s therapeutic,” she said.

Inside, there are a pair of couches, a refrigerator and tables piled high with stuffed animals. There are posters of Haleigh, including those that look out onto U.S. 17, where motorists slowed to honk and wave if they didn’t stop.

“It keeps Haleigh’s face alive,” in the minds of passers-by, Griffis said of the center.

“We’re able to keep our minds focused on finding Haleigh.”

Audio: Bounty hunter ‘Cobra’ says Misty not at home when Haleigh Cummings disappeared

Haleigh Cummings: Bounty hunter William ‘Cobra’ Staubs says he believes Misty Croslin Cummings was not at home when Haleigh Cummings disappeared.

According to Misty, 17, she was at home with Haleigh and her younger brother while Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, 25, was at work.

Misty claims she went to sleep and later got up to use the bathroom. At that time, she saw the kitchen light on, the back door propped open by a brick, and discovered Haleigh was gone.

Cobra is being paid by an anonymous donor in Satsuma, Fla. to search for the missing 5-year-old.

In an interview, Cobra told WSKY News he asked Ronald and Misty to reenact the night of Haleigh’s disappearance to try to shed some light on the incident. Ronald agreed, but Misty refused.

The bounty hunter also claims that Ronald confessed Misty was having an affair and that he married Misty to keep her close because he believes she has some information about his missing daughter.

Cobra says he is going to attempt to have Misty charged with obstruction of justice and child endangerment.
