The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office fielded rumors Tuesday about a possible arrest in the Haleigh Cummings case.
The agency received calls from Florida media outlets asking about reports there had been a break in the case of the missing girl, last seen at her Satsuma home in February.
Capt. Dick Schauland said investigators continue to work on leads and reports of an arrest in the case were false. He didn’t know how the rumors started.
The sheriff’s office did verify another report that the child’s mother Crystal Sheffield had a seizure, which her attorney has The woman was taken to the Putnam Community Medical Center Monday after she fell, reportedly after a seizure, and hit her head on a crate.
The incident occurred at Haleigh Bug Headquarters off of U.S. 17 that serves as a command post for some waiting for news about Haleigh.
Last month Sheffield was involved in a minor vehicle accident that apparently also involved a seizure.
The seizures reportedly are linked to stress, according to comments from relatives and others who know Sheffield.
There have been no reports from the sheriff’s office of any progress in locating the child who vanished more than two months ago. Officers have called the case a possible abduction but have not named any suspects.
People just want Haleigh returned one of the pair of freaks that are her parents, or they want whoever took her punished. That is probably how the rumor started. The sad thing is that Haleigh will probably never make it home, and it looks like someone will be getting away with a terrible crime.
