Deputies are going door-to-door and divers are checking nearby water for signs of a missing girl. 

Haleigh Cummings has not been seen since Monday night in her Satsuma home.

Wednesday, investigators said they are treating this as an abduction.

"There's no reason to believe the child wandered off. It's a five year old child.

Common sense tells us all , as parents, that we know that five year olds are afraid to walk down the hall in the dark so it's very unlikely that they'll walk outside."

Major Gary Bowling of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said there was no sign of forced entry, but a back door to the home was open.

"Somebody stole my child from me," said a distaught father, Ronald Cummings.

The girl was left in the care of his teenage girlfriend while he was at work.

  • Child Abductions
    I am soooo utterly sick of reading news reports that yet another child has gone missing. It makes me so frustrated and angry and sad that I would just like to have 5 minutes alone with just one abductor and I am truely not a violent person, but when it comes to someone's child, someone's love and memories, heart, its just so horrible. ERRRRR WHY Oh WHY can't people leave children alone? Let them grow up and be happy and let them have a chance to live their lives as normal as possible, whatever that is. We need to come up with someway to stop this sort of thing. If this happened to one of my children, I don't think I could bear it.
  • I heard that the father asked to be given a lie detector and passed with flying colors,also the girlfriend passed a lie detector test - the tests were given today. But the 17 year old girlfriend does add an extra element of weirdness to this horrible tragedy. Please God let them find this little girl alive.

    I hate hearing about stories like this. But come on, "teenage girlfriend"?
