WELAKA, Fla. - Inside the home of Haleigh Cummings' grandmother, there is a massive Christmas tree. Underneath the tree is filled with dozens of presents for many different members of Haleighs family.

Some of the presents under the tree are meant to not be opened. They are for Haleigh, and they wont be unwrapped until she can do it herself.

There was no decision to be made. We just honestly thought she'd be here. So when we bought for the other kids, we got for her, said Teresa Neves, Haleighs Grandmother.

The presents under the trees are all wrapped to hide whats inside. Haleighs family is hiding something too. Theyre trying to be cheerful for Haleighs 4-year-old brother.

It's all for Junior. Junior still has to have the same Christmas he's ever had. We can't change things for Junior just because Haleigh isn't here, said Neves.

Haleighs father may have it the hardest. He has to play the role of happy dad for his son, and a father torn apart over his missing daughter.

Ronald will be there for dinner and to open the gifts. But he's asked that he have the rest of the night to go off....and talk to Haleigh...He wants to be alone to talk to Haleigh, said Neves.

Haleighs grandmother says shed give anything in the world to get the present she wants for the holidays. All she wants is granddaughter back home.

I would give everything in my life. Everything I've ever had. Except my grand children or children, to have it back you can have it all, said Neves

@Cakelin41 No, as close as we have come is Tommy Croslin gave a statement with his attorney to FDLE that he was with cousin Joe and that Joe disposed of her in the St. Johns river by tying a cinder block to her and throwing her in.
