Investigators from Volusia and Flagler counties continued a massive search for a missing 5-year-old Putnam County girl. An Amber Alert was issued for Haleigh Cummings.

Her father believes someone snatched Haleigh from her bedroom in Satsuma early Tuesday morning.

Haleigh
was home with her father's girlfriend who noticed the child was missing. Her father made an emotional plea for Haleigh's safe return.

"I would give up everything I own. All I want is my child. Please. All I want is my child," said Ronald Cummings.

Investigators said there's no sign that someone forced their way into the home, but they did find a door open.

Authorities searched the neighborhood by ground and air and questioned nearby sex offenders and the girl's relatives.
