The newspaper said
Timothy Croslin and his wife were questioned about Haleigh Cummings after a possible sighting of the girl at an area Wal-Mart.
Timothy Croslin lives in the area.The report said the couple was interviewed. The police chief said the couple
was cooperating with Florida investigators but did not comment on why the couple was questioned.
On Monday, a reporter for the Cape Cod Times said her newspaper received a tip to ask state police about the questioning of Croslin and his wife.
"The sergeant there said, 'Yes, in fact, the Florida county sheriff's department is here interviewing a local family, and that's really all I can say,'" reporter K.C. Myers said. "And he referred all other questions to the district attorney's office."
The DA refused to elaborate, saying his office was assisting the Florida detectives.
Annette Sykes, spoke to WJXT-TV in Jacksonville on Monday after hearing about the report. "There's always hope." They have enough cameras in them Wal-Mart stores and maybe they got one that got a picture of her. And if they did, if they actually have a picture of her, then we can get happy. We may all have to go up there and tear that town apart."
"After this length of time, you tend not to get your hopes up real high because it hurts too much if it's not true, which so often, you know, they've had sightings before, but there's never anything come of it," Sykes said.
The PCSO said it believes Haleigh was taken. Investigators have followed thousands of leads in the case -- several from out of state -- but
have not identified anyone who may have taken Haleigh. http://www.clickorlando.com/news/20...orlpn_8pm&tmi=orlpn_8pm_1_07000209072009&ts=H
