SATSUMA, Fla. -- The mother of a missing north Florida girl has closed the small building she hoped would be a headquarters for clues in the case.
According to an attorney helping her, Crystal Sheffield closed the "Haleighbug Center" in Satsuma because of a medical issue. Kim Picazio said most of the informing coming to Sheffield recently were rumors and gossip.
Sheffield's 5-year-old daughter Haleigh Cummings disappeared in February from her father's mobile home, where she was being watched by the man's girlfriend. Authorities are treating the case as an abduction and say they're still sifting through more than 4,000 leads. No one has been named as a suspect.
Picazio says Sheffield will establish a new headquarters on her family's property in Baker County.
