The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is asking for help in identifying a woman who dropped off a letter earlier this week with a tip about the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings.


The woman took the letter to the St. Augustine Record Wednesday afternoon. Addressed to the newspaper's associate editor, the typed letter had information about the child, who disappeared from her father's Satsuma home in February.


The newspaper provided the letter to officers who have been following up the information. "Unfortunately the detectives need further clarification of the information and are hoping that someone will recognize the woman that delivered it," according to a statement from the Sheriff's Office.

The newspaper describes the woman as a "blonde woman, wearing blue scrubs," who dropped the envelope off at 3 p.m., "then quickly left the building."

The Sheriff's Office would not release the letter's contents. But, it reported, "if the information is true, it could be very helpful in solving the Haleigh Cummings case."

Anyone with information about the woman is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 888-277-8477 or the Sheriff's Office at 386-329-0808.
