PUTNAM COUNTY, FL -- It was another difficult day for the family of Haleigh Cummings. There's still no sign of the missing 5-year old girl.
No one has stayed in the Satsuma home where Haleigh lived her disappearance in the middle of the night 24 days ago.
Thursday, Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings along with his mother and his grandmother went back into the home to try and collect some things and clean things up.
The grandmother says it was too hard for Ronald Cummings. He had to leave.
"There's Haleigh all over the house. In her room was the hardest part because all of her favorite toys were exactly where she had left them," said Annette Sykes.
The family plans to move from the home, but in the meantime they are still camped out near the place where Haleigh was last seen.

Family straightens up in Cummings home while others prepare to move vigil site
Published: Friday, March 6, 2009 1:29 AM EST

"I'm just picking up the mess that was made, I guess, when everybody was going through everything," said Annette Sykes, Haleigh's paternal great-grandmother.
"They even tore out the wall where the hot water heater was."
She said when the media is allowed to tour the house, it will look as close as possible to when Ronald Cummings, his daughter Haleigh and son Ronald Jr., lived there.
"The toughest part was working in her room," she said. "It's when I come out, when I'm done, when I leave."
Tips called in to law enforcement for the missing Satsuma girl are up to 2,400, said Capt. Dick Shauland, spokesman for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
"Some are valid and some aren't, but we have to check them all," he said. "We still have five detectives working on the case, running down leads."
On Thursday afternoon, Neves said Ronald was passing out flyers for his missing daughter. "He found some places that didn't have flyers and that's what he's doing today, passing out flyers."
Neves said family members missed a certain item while cleaning inside the Cummings home. "There is something missing from the trailer that should be there," she said. "I don't know if it was taken for evidence or whoever took Haleigh took it."
The missing item belongs to Haleigh, she said. "It's something that should always be there for her," she said.
Neves said she could not explain what the item was because of the ongoing investigation. Shauland said he had no idea what Neves was talking about, when authorities removed items as evidence a receipt for each item was issued to the family.

Haleigh case puts new Putnam sheriff to the test
Jeff Hardy leads his department's transition while coordinating efforts to find the missing 5-year-old
Story updated at 10:32 AM on Friday, Mar. 6, 2009
<snipped>
The attention has contributed to the more than 2,400 leads detectives have been picking apart for clues.
"We're trying not to miss anything," Hardy said. "Some of this stuff, we're going back three, four, five, six, seven times and we'll continue."
Twists and turns
Family members of the missing girl said investigators are keeping them in the loop.
"I think they are doing everything that they can," said Marie Griffis, Haleigh's grandmother. So far, it appears that little evidence has been unearthed. She wishes the detective assigned to keep her daughter, Crystal Sheffield, informed could say if any leads have been productive.
"I've got a zillion questions I would like to ask him," she said. "But I know he can't answer."
Sometimes the hard truths have been evasive.
One seemingly undisputed fact - that Haleigh was wearing a pink top when she disappeared - crumbled. Nearly a week after it was included in a statewide Amber Alert, Croslin found the top in a laundry pile when detectives allowed her back to the mobile home for the first time.
Croslin's own recollection of events surrounding the disappearance shifted, from a description of sleeping in the same bed with Haleigh to an explanation that she was really across the room.
New developments, tips and lie detector tests have sometimes turned into nothing more than sidetracks.
When cadaver dogs hit on a construction trash bin about a tenth of a mile from Cummings' double-wide, investigators rebuffed questions about the intensity of earlier searches at the site. The arrest of a nearby sex predator on a curfew violation got a lot of attention, but tracking devices indicate he wasn't near the Cummings home when Haleigh disappeared.
A visiting cousin who left Putnam that day for Tennessee also generated suspicions. But the Sheriff's Office said he was questioned and not a suspect, though, like family members and others, he's subject to be interviewed again.
As the case draws toward its one-month mark, investigators say only that they continue to follow its twists and turns and intend to see it through to the end.

Family Returns To Haleigh's Home
Father Of Missing Girl Says He Couldn't Enter Her Room
POSTED: Friday, March 6, 2009
<snipped>
Signs of Haleigh could be seen outside the home -- her pink and blue bike and other little toys, WJXT-TV reported. Inside, Sykes said the rooms once filled with the girl's laughter are now filled with sorrow.
Though a painful task, she said she wants the home to look like the last time she saw Haleigh, at 7 p.m. before the night the child disappeared.
"They put their plates down and came and gave me a hug and a kiss. I gave Misty the clean clothes and she carried them in the house. Then, I left. I kissed her goodbye, and I left," Sykes said.
Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, and his girlfriend, Misty Croslin, also entered the home to get some of their belongings. Family members said stepping into the once happy home was more pain than Cummings could bear.
"He tried to go back to the room from where his little girl was stolen. He couldn't do it. He said he couldn't do it, and we had to get him out of there," Sykes said.
The family has been staying in tents near the home as they've waited for any news about Haleigh; however, on Thursday, they received a letter from the county stating it is against county ordinance to camp out in a residential area. The family is looking for a new place to stay.

Inside Haleigh's Home
Last Update: 2:08 am
<snipped>
Thursday, her family went back inside to clean. It was intensely emotional for them, seeing all of Haleigh's toys still sitting where she left them.
Now, they tell us, for the very first time, they will allow our cameras to go inside the home on Friday. The trailer has been sitting empty since Haleigh disappeared. Her father says he will never live there again.

Family Allows Look Inside Bedroom Where Haleigh Disappeared
POSTED: Friday, March 6, 2009
UPDATED: 6:59 pm EST March 6, 2009
<snipped>
SATSUMA, Fla. -- Haleigh Cummings' great-grandmother made a short but emotional journey Friday, taking Channel 4 and other media inside the mobile home where the 5-year-old was sleeping 25 days ago before she disappeared.Haleigh's shoes are still lined up by the bedroom door inside the double-wide mobile home, right next to her brother's and her dad's shoes.
Annette Sykes, Haleigh's great-grandmother, said the bedroom door was kept open at night and the television was always on.
"I can't see how they can get her in and out with the TV on," Sykes said.
Sykes pointed out the adjoining bathroom where Croslin went when she said she realized that Haleigh was gone.
Each room brought Sykes more painful memories of Haleigh and happier times. She hesitated the longest before entering Haleigh's bedroom.
"This is Haleigh's room, with all of her things. Her favorite things are over on her dresser -- makeup and fingernail polish were her favorite things," Sykes said.
She said Haleigh played in the room, but never slept there.
"Neither one of them slept in a room," Sykes said. "They wouldn't sleep in the room by themselves."
Sykes took the media inside the home hoping that whoever took Haleigh would realize it was once a happy home and would have a change of heart.
"Bring her home," Sykes said.

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A young woman living on the Southside says she had a vision about the missing little girl while sleeping.
She dreamed about Haleigh Cummings being in Missouri.
Melanie says she dreamed about an open field in a city called "Adison." She woke up to look at the map. There is no town in Missouri named Adison, but there is one called Madison.
Melanie felt a little weird. The last time she had a vision like this it involved a boat that caught fire. She says soon after that dream, there was a boat fire.
