SATSUMA, Fla. -- The Putnam County sheriff believes witnesses in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings are concealing information critical to finding her.

The second anniversary of the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings is tomorrow. Authorities believe the girl, who vanished at the age of 5, is dead.

Misty Croslin, the girlfriend of Haleigh's father at the time, told authorities she put Haleigh to bed on the night of February 9. Early the next morning, Croslin called 911 to report Haleigh missing.

Both Misty Croslin and Ronald Cummings, Haleigh's father, are in prison on drug charges. Ronald Cummings received 15 years after pleading guilty to three counts of drug trafficking in Putnam County. Last October, a judge sentenced Misty Croslin to 25 years in prison for trafficking oxycodone. Misty Croslin is the last one known to have seen Haleigh alive.

Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy says detectives are aggressively pursuing the case as a homicide investigation. Hardy says the case isn't cold, but adds certain people have the keys to solve it.

"At this point, the evidence and investigatory effort has minimized the likelihood that Haleigh's disappearance is the work of a stranger," said Sheriff Hardy in a news release. "The individuals with direct knowledge of Haleigh's whereabouts the night she went missing have still failed to provide the necessary information to bring this case to a logical conclusion. Contradictory statements provided by these witnesses indicate that they are concealing information from the investigators."

Tomorrow marks two years of investigative efforts into the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings. During the early morning hours of February 10, 2009, Haleigh Cummings was reported missing from her residence in Satsuma. Sheriff [Jeff] Hardy's interest in the public's desire to bring Haleigh home, have led him to release the following update on the investigation.

As been reported in numerous media releases in the past, investigators from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and investigators from agencies throughout Florida have invested thousands of man-hours into the investigation thus far.

At this point, the evidence and investigatory effort has minimized the likelihood that Haleigh's disappearance is the work of a stranger. The individuals with direct knowledge of Haleigh's whereabouts the night she went missing have still failed to provide the necessary information to bring this case to a logical conclusion. Contradictory statements provided by these witnesses indicate that they are concealing information from the investigators.

Sheriff Hardy realizes the importance of keeping the public involved in this case, and appreciates all of the leads that have been provided thus far. Every lead that has been provided has been acted on by investigators. He also wants to assure the public, but mainly Haleigh's family, that investigators will continue to aggressively pursue this case to the end. By no means is this case being considered "cold." There are still individuals who hold important information, which if provided to investigators, could solve this case.

There have been numerous requests for interviews with detectives and other agency members concerning the investigation. Due to the sensitive nature of this case, the agency members are still not participating in formal interviews. There is also not any additional information that investigators could provide that hasn't been given in media releases numerous times in the past.
