PALATKA, FL -- Putnam County officials held a news conference at 9:30 Tuesday morning to update the media and the public on the search for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings.
Capt. Steve Rose with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said the searchers spent time yesterday establishing checkpoints and conducting what he called a "secondary neighborhood canvas."
In that process, officials stopped and searched every vehicle, and questioned the people inside.
Rose said the checkpoint idea was something they had learned while undergoing child abduction response training.

It's designed to go over the same area again, and hopefully be able to talk to someone or see something that may not have been there earlier in the search.
Capt. Rose said their teams gained several important leads in the secondary canvas, but wouldn't disclose what any of them were.
He did say that leads were still coming in locally, statewide, and out of state, and that they were following up on each one.
Asked if officials had come up with a suspect or suspects yet, Rose said, "We are still looking at everybody as a suspect at this time."...
