JMO, but I don't think LE will reveal anything. They are playing their cards very close to their chest. ME thinks LE may be very close to solving this case but they are playing it cool for now. Why risk leaking info that could cause the perp to run before they can make an arrest, KWIM?

They are saying that they did not find a body. They are saying they have found evidence, which may be a few bones at this point. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
 
LE said it was L shaped and about 5 acres plus in a remote location. I think it is the pond off Peru Avenue.
 
Sheriff: Search Connected To Haleigh
Dive Teams Find Evidence In Pond Off U.S. 19 South Of Palatka

PALATKA, Fla. -- Dive crews continue searching a Putnam County pond and crews brought in to drain the water worked overnight Friday in a flurry of activity the sheriff's office confirmed is connected to the case of missing 6-year-old Haleigh Cummings.
Saturday morning, the sheriff's office issued a statement saying Haleigh had not been found, but the search of the pond and surrounding woods off U.S. 19 south of Palatka has turned up evidence in the case.

Hi SS , I do not know how to post a map but I'm wondering if this area is located between E. St. Johns st and Mondetes Rd off of 19, you can also get there from Stokes Landing rd. What do you think ? It looks large enough to me...
 
The pond on Peru Ave. is closer to Highway 19. It sits between Mondetes and Pinellas with Peru Ave. being the street between the larger pond and the smaller ones.

It is easier if you go to Bing maps, find the area, and click Share. The code pops right up for you. However, I posted it last night.

"Reasons deputies gave for the search Saturday ranged from training to looking for drugs, to recovering stolen property taken from another nearby home.

Finally, Sheriff Jeff Hardy released a statement before noon Saturday that the search was, indeed, for new clues in the Haleigh Cummings case."


LE now confirming the search is related to Haleigh...but then we knew that didn't we:doh:
 
Forgive me if I am being too graphic, but if indeed Haleigh's body was discarded in this pond- would there be in fact " a body"? I am not well informed with matters such as these, so I am wondering if placing a deceased person in a body of water would accelerate decomp or preserve it perhaps longer. Does anyone know?

Thanks SS I should have read back a bit. I just saw the headline first thing this morning. Now I realize this has been going on since yeaterday.
 
I wonder if the blanket or the clothes she was wearing turned up in the lake.

If it was in a cold climate, it could help preserve the body for a short time. However, it is Florida and the weather has been very hot. It would enhance the process. After almost 8 months, they will only recover remains and the possibility of finding the COD will be very small unless there are marks on the skeleton or skull.

I highly doubt they have found any remains at this point. Look at the men walking the pond. I don't see how they could find small pieces of anything in that manner. (I bet Tim is cringing to see them conduct the search this way.)
 
Hello WS :)

I follow the Casey Anthony case. This case has always bothered me too but I can't claim to have followed in any WS sense. I am interested in how things turn out for Haleigh, bless her soul. I figure some are drawn in because we have soul connections, that's just my inner heart imaginings not a religious statement or anything to stay politically correct about it all. But I do believe that.

I just wanted to say that before I pop in a Haleigh thread and start posting. If this has been posted before, I am sorry. I just saw this on my twitter, and I have it on my twitter because I followed a link here at WS. Thank you.

Deputies from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office have been searching an area of Palatka since Friday night and are finally confirming that the search is related to the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings.

In a statement released by the Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Jeff Hardy wants to quell the rumor that Haleigh's body has been recovered. He says that is not true.

The tip is that there may be physical evidence in a body of water. But police stopped short of saying what that evidence is.

Divers from the Putnam, St. Johns and Clay County Sheriff's Offices are conducting underwater searches. And they've lowered the water level to make the search easier.

The Sheriff's Office says it's coincidental that the search comes a day after they interviewed Hank Crosslin Jr, Haleigh's uncle.

Police say the interview did not provide the information which led to the search.
