SATSUMA, FL -- After well over two weeks, including two very busy days this week, the police tape is down from Ronald Cummings' house.
Satisfied that they have found all they can in the house, police packed up what they had and opened the house back up to Ronald Cummings.
Cummings, however, says he doesn't want to go back into the house where his daughter was last seen.
Capt. Dick Schauland says the dogs will be used in the search again today.
There will be seven dogs searching through the woods behind the Cummings' house, and because the woods are thick, the search is expected to take all day.
Capt. Schauland adds that the flurry of activity recently is not the result of any new information, but routine procedure to re-check areas.

SATSUMA -- The Putnam County Sheriff's Office and the cadaver search dogs will continue searching the area near the home of Haleigh Cummings, 5.
On Thursday, the sheriff's office searched a Dumpster approximately a quarter-mile from where Haleigh disappeared on Feb. 10.
Investigators said they are going through more than 1,600 leads in the case.

K-9s Continue Search For Haleigh
Investigators Say Trash Bin Search Yielded No Clues

Officials said because the dogs can hit on almost any kind of blood, it doesn't have to mean it's from Haleigh.
Earlier on Thursday, Misty Croslin, the 17-year-old girlfriend of Haleigh's father, was spotted speaking with a detective. She had walked across the street with fresh clothes.
Croslin will eventually be interviewed again by Putnam County investigators. Haleigh's grandmother, Teresa Neves, said all the questioning has taken its toll on Croslin.
"It's hard when you've got all that scrutiny on Misty because she was the last person to see the child," Neves said.
Putnam County officials have brought in a new trash bin. They're taking trash bags and bringing them there to empty and use a pitchfork to go through the garbage in hopes of finding any clues that may lead them to Haleigh.

Cadaver dogs used in search for Haleigh

The use of cadaver dogs is a step that the missing Satsuma girl's family was aware of as a standard part of the search, but a step that family members had hoped would be unnecessary.
"I am not surprised, but I will not lose faith," said Haleigh's paternal grandmother, Teresa Neves. "We are still praying that someone will bring her home, but we want them (investigators) to eliminate all those possibilities."
Neves said the search for Haleigh is an unending nightmare.
"You see things like this on television, and you have compassion for the families involved, but you never realize how unbelievable it is to live through," Neves said.

Haleigh's Home No Longer A Crime Scene

Haleigh Cummings' Green Lane home where she was abducted from in the middle of the night is no longer a crime scene. However, Ronald Cummings said he won't live in his home after knowing his little girl was taken out of her bed.
Cadaver dogs continue to search areas around the home of Haleigh Cummings Friday. Thursday one dog alerted on a nearby dumpster, but a thorough search found nothing.
The wooded areas are new to the cadaver dogs. The sheriff's office wants to make sure nothing was missed in the search.
Bryan Selzer and his dog Eli came from Jacksonville to aid in the search for Haleigh Cummings Friday afternoon.
"We're just doing a different area today. We're hitting mostly the wooded area that we are searching and again we are searching that for the second time to make sure that everything's covered," said Selzer.

Haleigh Cummings will be one of four children featured Saturday night during the weekly Fox television show "America's Most Wanted."
The 5-year-old girl missing from her father&#8217;s Satsuma home for more than two weeks has been the focus of an intense search that has generated more than 2,000 tips and leads for investigators to track down. The FBI, Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Putnam County Sheriff&#8217;s Office have been working around the clock since Haleigh was reported missing from a bedroom at 3 a.m. on Feb. 11.

&#8220;America&#8217;s Most Wanted&#8221; airs locally at 9 p.m. on Fox.
The other children being featured are a small boy from Florida and two older girls from Southern California.

Haleigh Cummings' grandmother: She's still alive
Detectives find nothing after searching through dumpster yesterday.

SATSUMA -- Family members today expressed relief that Haleigh Cummings was not found this week by cadaver dogs and pleaded again for her abductor to release the 5-year-old Putnam County girl.
Crime-scene tape was taken down from the double-wide trailer in Satsuma where Haleigh was last seen earlier this month.
Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, quickly retrieved some clothes today then left because he doesn't plan to stay in the home, his mother, Teresa Neves, said today.
"If he has enough money, he'll have the movers come and move the thing so he doesn't have to go in there at all," Neves said. "It's where Haleigh lived ... Haleigh filled that home with laughter."
Thursday's search was unsettling but Neves remains optimistic that Haleigh is alive.
"There's always that little thing that scares you to death. To know that she's not there is a relief," she said. "Somebody has her and I pray to God they release her."

Cadaver Dogs Continue Searching Near Home Of Missing Girl
Haleigh Cummings Disappeared On Feb. 10
POSTED: Friday, February 27, 2009
UPDATED: 7:03 pm EST February 27, 2009
<snipped>
SATSUMA, Fla. -- Another day of searching for Putnam County 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings began early Friday morning, when teams of dogs specially trained to find human remains arrived to again search the area around the mobile home park where the girl disappeared on Feb. 10.
In comparison to the anxiety created by Thursday's Dumpster search, Friday -- day 18 in the search for Haleigh -- was calm.
Although detectives said they have searched the woods near Haleigh's home in the past they wanted cadaver dogs to search the area again.
Haleigh's family said it doesn't believe the dogs are necessary because they are confident the girl is alive.
"I believe that my Haleigh is alive and if you're looking out there in the woods and in the water and things, you're not looking for a live child. I trust the detectives to find my baby. I believe that they're doing what they are supposed to do -- what is required for them to do. I don't think she is out there. I think that my baby girl is alive out there somewhere. Somebody has her, and I pray to God that they will release her -- just let her come home," said Haleigh's grandmother, Teresa Neves.
