Search for Haleigh Moved South

SATSUMA, FL -- The search for Haleigh Cummings has moved to a grassy area less than ten miles from the home from where she vanished one week ago.

More than sixty law enforcement officers from a number of different agencies swarmed a field off Highway 17 near Lake Como, which is south of Haleigh's home.

Locals tell First Coast News the investigators have been in that area for the past two days. But the sheriff Monday said nothing of significance to the investigation turned up.

Haleigh Cummings, 5, disappeared sometime after her father's girlfriend put her to bed on the night of February 9.

Over the weekend, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office moved its mobile command center out of Haleigh's neighborhood as it shifted toward an investigation rather than a search.

And Haleigh's family, who have been camping out at separate locations near her home, came together for a vigil Saturday night.
