E-mail address setup for tips in missing girl case

SATSUMA, Fla. (AP) — A new e-mail address has been created for people to communicate tips and leads directly with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office about missing Florida girl Haleigh Cummings.

The address — haleigh@putnamsheriff.org — is in addition to the Crime Stopper tip line.

Authorities said on Wednesday that this address will help ensure that all of the e-mails coming into the sheriff’s office are routed to the appropriate person.

Haleigh, then 5 years old, disappeared in February from her father’s trailer home, in a heavily wooded area near the central Florida town of Satsuma.
