According to the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, Haleigh Ann Marie Cummings was last seen at 10 p.m. Monday in her bed at the Buffalo Bluff, Satsuma area home where she lived with her father and his girlfriend.

Haleigh is approximately 3 feet tall, with dirty blond hair and pierced ears and was last seen wearing pink shorts and a tan shirt. Sheriff's Capt. Steve Rose said there were no signs that the house had been broken into but he did not know whether the doors and windows were locked.
"We have an extensive search underway involving 50 people and that number is growing," Rose said Tuesday morning. Rose also said his agency was workign to get a current photograph of Haleigh posted on the Internet.
The Amber Alert was issued nationwide before 9:30 a.m. The alerts are distributed in multiple ways to the public and law enforcement agencies to heighten awareness about the missing child.
