I ask that same question. In that same article, I just don't understand GMSykes.
I have not heard about them looking anywhere for Haleigh but yet they think she's still alive? How could that be?
Snipped from article above:
The kindergartner's body has not been found, but the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said earlier this year it believes she was killed and considers the ongoing case a homicide investigation.
Haleigh's family was in court hoping something would be mentioned about the missing girl's case. While her name was mentioned, not many details were divulged.
Annette Sykes said she was in attendance wishing to hear something about her great-granddaughter.
"Our only concern is Haleigh. We just keep hoping that something will come out about her," Sykes said. "I hope. I really do. That's how we've done it. Our faith and our hope and our prayers."
"We want everybody to realize that that child is still alive, and we want them to help us keep looking for her," Sykes said. "Nothing would make us happier than to have our baby with us, any happier than for somebody to bring our baby home. That's all we want."

Ok, first of all, Annette says that their ONLY concern is Haleigh. But where oh where have they been looking for her? We just keep hearing about vigils in rememberance of Haleigh. If they think that she's still alive, they need to look for her! IMO, they have known Haleigh was "gone" a long time ago. There is no need to look for her, KWIM? Which also says that they already know where she is.....
Annette says that they want everyone to realize that Haleigh's still alive. I am confused...why does LE thinks its a homocide? Did they not share that info and/or evidence with the Cummings? Wouldn't LE keep the Cummings updated in this case, if they were all innocent of any wrongdoing? I'm not sure how that works exactly but if it was one of my own I would want to see some type of evidence that would declare them dead in the eyes of LE. So why are the Cummings and LE on two different pages, KWIM?
I didn't find it odd that GMSykes and Annette were in the courtroom today. I think Tommy knows a little something about what happened to Haleigh and Annette and GMSykes were wondering if Tommy had talked. They were planning their next move, IMO. They may just be petty enough to have attended the hearing today because Lisa C. and Hank Sr. showed up at Ron's hearing...who knows.:furious:
JMO of course
