Florida (ChattahBox) The family of missing five-year-old Haleigh Cummings have said that they are terrified that she may have been taken by the cousin of her fathers girlfriend, a convicted pedophile.
The man, whose name has not been released, is currently being questioned about the incident. Family says that he was visiting at the time of the disappearance.
What weve been told is that hes a sexual pedophile, Teresa Neves, who is the missing girls grandmother, said. I couldnt tell you anything about him.
The man was arrested by police and held for questioning, after an anonymous tip came in from a line in Tennessee, where the cousin is from. It said that a man was in a diner, with a child who looked like Haleigh, and that as they left he was trying to shield her from view.
Police admit that a sexual predator is in custody, and that a car was apprehended in the arrest, but they have given no further details.
The family have publicly pleaded for the safe return of the young girl.
I want to say to my baby, we love you sweetheart, and we will find you, Neves said at an emotional press conference.
Haleigh had been asleep in her room when she vanished without a trace.
