Haleigh's Mother Hires Attorney
Crystal Sheffield, the mother of Haleigh and her younger brother Ronald Jr., has hired an attorney from South Florida who planed to travel to Satsuma on Friday.Kim Picazio told CNN's Nancy Grace that she was initially hired to handle the media, but she is also looking into the well-being of both children living in their father's home."We may have two emergencies on our hands," Picazio said "Not only do we have Haleigh, who needs to be found, but we also have an emergency. We've talked to dozens of people, we received credible evidence that we definitely believe Junior is at risk."Picazio would not elaborate on that alleged evidence.Largest Search In Weeks
In the month since an Amber Alert was issued, more than 2,000 tips have poured in to detectives and investigators said they have checked out hundreds of leads and tips in the case, including multiple false sightings of the missing girl.On Thursday, about 100 police cadets, deputies from Putnam, Clay, St. Johns and Marion counties and people from other agencies searched a wooded area along U.S. Highway 17 and neighboring railroad tracks in the largest organized search in weeks.The search area stretched almost 13 miles from Satsuma -- where Haleigh disappeared from her father's home before dawn on Feb. 10 -- south to Crescent City."The search is not a result of information received, but is being conducted to be sure that all areas are covered," Putnam County Sheriff's Office Capt. Dick Schauland said.The families of the missing girl have lived in separate camp sites near the home where Haleigh disappeared, held nightly prayer vigils and done what they can to keep the public thinking about and looking for the missing girl. Due to property rights and county rules, both families are in the process of moving their compounds.Earlier this week, the Justice Coalition added $8,490 to the reward for Haleigh, bringing the total reward amount to $35,000.Anyone who has any information that could help find Haleigh is asked to call Crimestoppers at 888-277-TIPS.- March 12, 2009: 100 Deputies, Officers Search New Area For Haleigh
