The article is from the Baker County Press and it indicated a "local" family member (the one I posted earlier). This tells me it was someone related to Crystal's side and it was not one of the 4,000 tips that came in, but someone they finally interviewed with some inside knowledge.
This could be a very solid lead in finding Haleigh.
Search teams have finished a thorough search of Haleigh Cummings' grandmother's property, and are now searching another relative's property nearby.
Being the goof that I am, I actually thought it was a county in Fl.
Thanks....
"We searched just about everything and came up empty," Piscitello said.
A forensic archaeologist said all the bones excavated by backhoes and manpower were animal in origin. Piscitello said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement did a preliminary search of Sheffield's home the day Haleigh went missing, but this was the first full-scale investigation at the property.
Authorities from Putnam, Baker and Duval counties and the FDLE, clad in wide-brimmed hats and protective clothing, braved the 90-degree heat and tall grass for about four hours. Members of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office dive team and cadaver-sniffing dogs were also called in to assist.
Guys I just want to say, I know this wants to seem promising for many of us, but I think it is important not to make assumptions or get carried away. Please remember the dumpster search done in Satsuma.
Although it might make sense to many posters that LE is out searching and digging in Baker County, if you go to the link on the first article you will read that they are searching there because of family statements that they buried their dead animals on the property and they are searching to be sure that is all that is there.
I remember when the dog trainor appeared on NG and confirmed that cadavear dogs are trained to hit on human remains only; so why would the searchers dig be interested in digging anywhere else on the property? I am glad the search is on again and the property belonging to CS's family is being searched again because someone could have killed and buried Haleigh there to frame the Sheffields.
Donjeta I might be a southern girl but I find myself wondering what might be off kilter for an animal to be buried on the property. Does anyone reading here have a farm or...have insight as to what happens with large farm animals when they die? Do you bury them on the farm or does someone come and take them away? Don't laugh I am having a airhead moment.
In another article I read, it was they were searching because of a tip. They are also checking out another property.

"Kim Picazio, a South Florida attorney who is representing Sheffield for free, said her client's family requested the search a few weeks ago to dispel any lingering accusations against Haleigh's mother."
This is from the Jacksonville article...I just copied and pasted this sentence.
Of course, KP is going to try to spin the searches. Do I believe her? No way!"Kim Picazio, a South Florida attorney who is representing Sheffield for free, said her client's family requested the search a few weeks ago to dispel any lingering accusations against Haleigh's mother."

:waitasec: Yes. I am sure that if LE finds Haleigh there...the first thought would be someone framed them.I remember when the dog trainor appeared on NG and confirmed that cadavear dogs are trained to hit on human remains only; so why would the searchers dig be interested in digging anywhere else on the property?
