The DNA samples taken yesterday may have not been from new leads, looks like some DNA samples they collected earlier where no good?

The samples, sought by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, were taken to ensure investigators had good DNA materials from relatives and others who were around Haleigh Cummings, a sheriff's spokesman said.

Among those giving samples was Misty Croslin, the girlfriend of Haleigh's father who was babysitting the little girl when she vanished.

Samples had been taken earlier, said Capt. Dick Shauland, spokesman for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.
"Evidently they weren't good so they resulted in having to retake them," Shauland said.

Shauland compared to samples to other forms of identification.

The woman said the back door to the home was not locked at the time. Police found the door to the trailer unlocked when they arrived, but no sign of forced entry, according to Donaway

Local and state authorities and the FBI searched Tuesday for Haleigh in neighbors' homes and vehicles leaving her neighborhood on the St. Johns River

Investigators are following up a lead provided by the brother of a missing 5-year-old Putnam County girl that a man came into the room where she was sleeping and took her.

Putnam County sheriff’s Capt. Dick Schauland confirmed that officers had received the lead but didn’t provide any details except that the boy gave the report to members of a child protection team. Ronald Cummings Jr., was 3 when he was interviewed the week Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings was reported missing from her Satsuma home.

“Everything they were able to find out from him they are following up on,” Schauland said.

Here are some startling facts regarding filicide that can not be ignored in these discussions:

Daly and Wilson (1988) investigated the risk of filicide by stepparents and by genetic
parents. They found that, in an American sample, children less than 2 years of age living
with one stepparent and one genetic parent are 100 times more likely to be killed than are children living with two genetic parents

Children less than 5 years old (the focus of the current research, following Daly & Wilson, 1994) accounted for 42% of the 8,691 filicide victims.

About 93% (93.3%) of 30 filicides perpetrated by stepmothers and 56.1% of 1,845 filicides perpetrated by genetic mothers were committed by beating

16,32] More specifically, stepfathers were roughly eight times more likely than biological fathers to kill their children, and stepmothers were almost three times more likely than biological mothers to kill their children.[32] In addition, stepparents were found to be more likely to beat or bludgeon their stepchildren, whereas biological parents often shot or asphyxiated their children. The more violent actions of the stepparents may be explained as a manifestation of the hostility, resentment, and rage that they may feel toward their stepchildren.[16,32]


hree quarters of the time, the acts were committed in the home. The perpetrator was alone during the commission of the crime 86 percent of the time.


a stepchild must rarely have been as valuable to a stepparent’s expected fitness
as a child of one’s own would be, and we may therefore anticipate that stepparents will not, in general,feel such whole-hearted, self-sacrificial love for their wards as genetic parents so often do.

Fatal batterings of small children This most severe category of child maltreatment exhibits Cinderella effects of the greatest magnitude: in several countries, stepparents beat very young children to death at per capita rates that are more than
100 times higher than the corresponding rates for genetic parents.

1).1 family members (including nonparental offenders) accounted for
21.4 percent of offenders who committed crimes against all juveniles and 53.5 percent
of those who committed crimes against young children

Results Half the homicides occurred by the fourth month of life. The most important risk factors were a second or subsequent infant born to a mother less than 17 years old (relative risk, 10.9) or 17 to 19 years old (relative risk, 9.3), as compared with a first infant born to a mother 25 years old or older; a maternal age of less than 15 years, as compared with an age of at least 25 years (relative risk, 6.8); no prenatal care as compared with early prenatal care (relative risk, 10.4); and less than 12 years of education among mothers who were at least 17 years old (relative risk, 8.0), as compared with 16 or more years of education.

The Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics reveals more than one third of America's children are being raised by one biological parent who very often has a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend, or eventual step-parent. Statistically speaking, children raised in these settings have a forty percent greater chance of being abused than children living with both biological parents

Kidsearch Network believes that Immediate Response by an experienced search team is necessary. because, 1) there is typically over a two hour delay in making the initial missing child report (60%), and 2) the vast majority (74%) of the abducted children who are murdered are dead within three hours of the abduction.

Haleigh Cummings body was not recovered during the Shell Harbor search.

snip~The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous inquiries regarding the recovery of the skeletal remains of missing 5 year-old Haleigh Cummings. A rumor has spread throughout our community that her body has been located. This rumor is false, and this information has been vastly misreported and sensationalized by the media.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office did recover animal remains such as alligator claws and teeth, and a multiple animal bones. The agency had an anthropologist at the scene that identified all "biological" items that were recovered as being non-human. Additionally, Misty Croslin could have easily seen these items while she was at the dock while the dive operation was in progress.~ end snip

From the news release
 
Nice list of facts from a PCSO news release marking the one year anniversary of Haleigh's disappearance.

snip~Here are some of the facts:

* We have received 5,768 leads, all of which have been followed up on by investigators.
* Approximately 600 of the leads received have come from psychics or individuals claiming to have special abilities. All of these leads have been reviewed by investigators, and leads containing specific information that can be verified have been followed up on.
* The majority of the leads received are suggestions or opinions from citizens stating who they believe is responsible for Haleigh’s disappearance, and/or how the investigation should be conducted. These types of leads are reviewed by the investigative team, but many of these require little or no follow up investigation.
* We have conducted formal interviews with 76 different individuals who were identified as having possible information in the Haleigh investigation. DNA samples were collected from many of those interviewed and compared to evidence collected in the case.
* 218 separate interviews have been either audio or video recorded by investigators.
* When situations have dictated, investigators have traveled out of state to conduct these interviews.
* We have received 644 reported Haleigh sightings from various cities and locations throughout the United States. Investigators have either personally determined that these were false sightings, or asked for assistance from local law enforcement agencies where the alleged sightings took place to follow up on the information. To date, none of the reported sightings have been determined to be credible.
* FDLE processed the crime scene. Many items of potential evidentiary value were collected and sent to FDLE’s crime lab for analysis (i.e. for fingerprints and DNA). All of evidence has been examined and/or processed, but none of it has identified any suspect or additional leads as to who the suspect(s) may be.
* We have searched thousands of acres, including all property south of Highway 17 near the Cummings residence.
* We have had numerous underwater recovery and search teams search all of the water near the area of the disappearance.
* Aviation assets have conducted several airborne searches.
* K9 assets have searched the area on several occasions.
* Volunteer civilian searchers on foot and horseback searched the wooded areas near the residence. end snip

FACT: Lt. Johnny Greedwood stated after RC's and MC's drug arrest that the drug probe was separate from the investigation into Haleigh's disapearance. However...

"Even though these are totally separate, they are parallel cases, and there's no doubt in my mind these cases will cross some day," Greenwood said. "I hope that somewhere through this, the investigators in the Haleigh case will find the information they need."​
