George Anthony, grandfather of slain 2-year-old Caylee Anthony offered moral support to the father of a missing Satsuma girl by meeting with him on Thursday.  "We've become members of a unique club, and the club is there to help," said Anthony.  "I want them to take care of themselves.  They need to eat, they need to sleep, they need the community's help." 

A Florida Amber Alert was issued for 5-year-ol Haleigh Cummings who went missing from her Satsuma home on Monday night.

Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, was at work while his 17-year-old girlfriend Misty Croslin was at home with the girl.

According to Fox News, Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy declined to disclose if Croslin had passed the lie detector test she took.  CNN reports Haleigh's father claims both he and Croslin took polygraph tests and both passed.

"I locked doors before I left for work.  My child cannot unlock the deadbolt, you have to force the door shut all the way... and she doesn't open the door to strangers," said Cummings.

Cummings returned home from his job as a crane operator at about 3 a.m.  He and Croslin called 911 after discovering Haleigh was missing.

Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield believes her daughter was kidnapped.  "I just want my baby here.  I just want them to bring back my baby," Sheffield said while crying.

Haleigh has blond hair and brown eyes and is 3 feet tall.  She was last seen wearing underwear and a pink shirt.

Andrew Sheffield, Haleigh's uncle believes she is alive and said, "It's fishy.  Somebody knows something."

Anyone with information regarding Haleigh Cummings should contact the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 386-329-0800.
