ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- A woman who dropped off a letter at a newspaper's office regarding a tip in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings voluntarily visited the Putnam County Sheriff's Office after learning detectives wanted to talk to her.

The woman, whose name has not been released, dropped off a letter at the St. Augustin Record on Wednesday, but told deputies on Friday that she delivered the information on the behalf of someone else, the sheriff's office said.

Detectives said they are continuing to follow up on the information, hoping that the clarification will make the tip useful.

According to the sheriff's office, the woman appeared at the newspaper's office in St. Augustine and dropped off an envelope addressed to the Associate Editor, Richard Prior. The typed letter contained information about Haleigh, who was 5 years old when she vanished from a Satsuma home in February.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is not releasing the contents of the letter but said if the information is true, it could be very helpful in solving the case.
