The Putnam County Sheriff's Department questioned a man in Tennessee about the disappearance of missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings.
Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy said the man questioned is a relative of Misty Croslin. Croslin is Haleigh's father's 17-year-old girlfriend. She was supposed to be watching Haleigh at the time of the girl's disappearance.
The Sheriff's department would not reveal what kind of relative the man is to Croslin.
Haleigh's paternal grandmother, Teresa Neves, said Croslin's cousin visited Putnam County days before Haleigh's disappearance. Neves said the cousin and Haleigh's dad, Ronald Cummings, got into a fight about a gun during that visit. She also said the cousin left town the same day Haleigh disappeared.
Ronald Cummings denies that fight ever happened.
"There was no fight with no cousin over a gun," said Ronald Cummings.
Someone spotted a girl they thought was Haleigh in Croslin's cousin's home state- Tennessee. The spotting was in a Knoxville Carrabba's Restaurant parking lot Sunday at 2 p.m. The Knoxville Police department said that person called them and said they spotted Haleigh in a red, Toyota RAV4. The caller said she was with a white man and white woman and they looked like they were trying to shield the girl's face.
Knoxville police responded, but never found anyone matching the description.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement seized a vehicle as evidence in this case, but they will not describe it.
Haleigh Cummings disappeared from her bedroom February 9. She has blond hair, brown eyes and a birthmark near her left ear.
Did the police not think to question the cousin when he disappeared the day Haleigh disappeared. Anybody with common sense would have made sure that he was one of the first people they questioned.
