A 5-year-old girl is missing in Florida, and police say she was most likely abducted from her trailer home in rural Florida, CNN reports. Her father's girlfriend reported Haleigh Cummings missing at 3 am yesterday, seven hours after reportedly putting her to bed. Police are treating everyone they interview—including the separated parents and 44 nearby sex offenders—as suspects, and plan to use infrared technology to continue the search tonight.
