PALATKA, Fla. - Authorities updated the Amber Alert for Haleigh Cummings on Tuesday, because they no longer know what clothes she was wearing when she disappeared a week ago.
Earlier, investigators said the 5-year-old girl was wearing a pink shirt, but that shirt has been located. Now, officials do not know what clothing the girl was wearing when she was reported missing from her Putnam County home on Feb. 19.
At a 4 p.m. news conference, investigators would make no comment about the pink shirt.
At the county's emergency operations center in Palatka, officials have fielded hundreds of calls from people who believe they may have a clue to Haleigh's whereabouts.
At a news briefing on Tuesday, Putnam County Sheriff's Office Capt. Steve Rose said authorities are following several good leads they received while canvassing the neighborhood where Haleigh vanished one week ago.
Rose said authorities also talked to drivers in the neighborhood while conducting a road block near Haleigh's home. He would not release further details about the leads.
With the ground search wrapped up around Haleigh's home, investigators moved to the Lake Como area on Tuesday.
But more tactical searches may be in the future for law enforcement officers as they follow up on tips and other leads.
"We may come back and search some of those areas again based on that new information," Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy said.
Authorities continued to conduct interviews with Haleigh's family and friends on Monday.
