SATSUMA - The father of a missing North Florida girl says he doesn't want the media to focus on his personal life.

Ronald Cummings, 25, and his new bride, 17-year-old Misty Croslin, appeared on NBC's "Today" show this morning. They got married Thursday in Putnam County then flew to New York.

Cummings said he didn't know what his personal life had to do with national television and stressed that the media needs to get his daughter's face out there.

Haleigh vanished Feb. 9 from her father's mobile home, just outside the community of Satsuma. The 5-year-old was being watched by Croslin.

When asked whether she thought police considered her a possible suspect, Croslin said no. Cummings immediately agreed, saying a detective told him she wasn't.
