CRYSTAL SHEFFIELD MISSING AFTER AUTHORITIES ISSUE REQUEST FOR DNA

Haleigh Cummings' biological mother, Crystal Sheffield has been missing since this afternoon after learning that law enforcement was on their way to obtain a DNA sample.

Before Crystal drove away, Crystal told family members, "Tell them I have a doctor's appointment.", referring to investigators that were on their way to obtain the DNA sample.

Cadaver dogs were also brought in today and were taken to the home of Haleigh Cummings, where she was last seen. Handlers also took the dogs to other nearby locations. News reports state that Crystal Sheffield and Ronald Cummings were also at the locations where the cadaver dogs were taken.
Seven cadaver dogs and nine officers were sent to search an area surrounding the home of Haleigh Cummings. Deputies said the search was being conducted to make sure that nothing is overlooked.
The cadaver dogs and officers searched for human remains. The cadaver dogs were seen sniffing along the panels underneath mobile homes -- in the event a body was placed underneath.
Investigators believe Haleigh Cummings was taken from her home on Green Lane in Satsuma on February 9. Sheriff Jeff Hardy, as well as everyone involved in the investigation said they continue to hope that Haleigh is found alive and in good health.
Investigators said Thursday's search was not in response to leads received from the family or the public, but as a routine procedure that has proven itself in other missing child cases.
The canine teams are a part of Canine South, a non-law enforcement organization out of South Georgia that specializes in canine searches. The teams consist of cadaver dogs that specifically seek out human remains.
Investigators said more dogs will search the area again Friday.

The family also has released home video of Haleigh from Christmas 20008.
