Friday morning, searchers with Texas-based Equusearch will begin a massive search for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings in Satsuma.
"We're holding on to some kind of miracle she just wandered away," said Tim Miller of EquuSearch.
Deputies chopped through the wooded area surrounding Hayleigh's neighborhood Thursday. They had to use machetes because of the thick brush.
Putnam County sheriff's investigators said someone snatched the little girl right out of her bed Monday night while her father's 17-year-old live-in girlfriend slept nearby.
Officials interviewed 44 sex offenders living with 5-miles of the Cummings' home. Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, begged for her safe return.
"I want my daughter back, that's all I want. I want my daughter back," he pleaded.
Tim Miller said getting his searchers to work as soon as possible was the goal.
'It's very critical to get out there as quick as we can get out there. I wish we would have been here the first hour but unfortunately there's never a warning when there's a possible abduction," he said.
Miller is looking for volunteers to help out in the search Friday morning and into the weekend. The group is expected to gather at 8:00am.
The mother of Hayleigh Cummings, Crystal Sheffield, was surrounded by her family and friends during a prayer vigil Thursday night for her daughter. She couldn't hold back the tears.
Haleigh's grandfather, Johnny Sheffield was there for support and to help in the search.
"We don't want another tragic ending, like her to end up like Caylee Anthony,' said Johnny.

editor's note: In my opinion, it seems as if George Anthony is doing more harm than good with his efforts at this search. Law enforcement in this county and city have pulled out all the stops, as in the Caylee Anthony search. Is Mr. Sheffield implying that law enforcement is not doing enough to search for his granddaughter? Or, is he expressing his concerns that foul play may somehow be involved, concerning members of his extended family, or others?
Updates will be posted as they are released.
