Haleigh Cummings 5yrs old Missing

[lorettalockhorn]

Loretta, thanks for the myspace links. That did nudge my memory that there were some linked early in the case. That was where we read I think it was Misty threatening (I can't remember her name) about taking her baby from her.

So, Ronnie is looking @ things realistically? Saying, yep, he's going to prison for sure. Perhaps he would like it there, not have to worry about the press following his every move!!!! And, it would keep him out from under Misty's influence :biggrin: So, she's his ex-wife slash friend. That would be friend w/benefits? :D (The youngens I work with were AMAZED that I knew that phrase, let alone what it means, lol!!!!)

Misty's comments were to Amber Brooks. She's a sad case and you have to worry about her future and her baby boy's as well. All three of Ron's children (that we know of) have health issues; at least if he gets prison time, we won't have to worry about him having any more little ones with underage baby mamas, not taking care of them and not contributing negatively to the gene pool. Harsh. Yeah, I suppose so.

LMAO@how prison will protect him. :beer:

But too little too late for Haleigh.

[samanthajane13]

Well, I asked The Lurker to please name names, but I don't think it'll happen. If it does though, it could be funnyfunfun. :hat:

LOL-so did I!!

Haleigh Cummings’ grandmother to ‘Today’: Misty is the key to this

In an interview with NBC’s “Today” this morning, Haleigh Cummings’ paternal grandmother said she suspects former daughter-in-law Misty Croslin is the key to finding the little girl.

“I believe, whether or not she realizes it, Misty is holding something that could possibly help Haleigh’s case,” Teresa Neves told NBC’s Ann Curry. “All the law enforcement have said she is the key to this. You have to figure that there’s something that she’s not telling.”

Neves said she didn’t know if Croslin is withholding information on purpose or subconsciously.

Croslin and her ex and Haleigh’s father, Ronald Cummings, were arrested in a drug sting last week in Putnam County. They each face multiple counts of trafficking charges and remain jailed.

But the main focus on “Today” was Haleigh, who has been missing nearly a year. Grandmother Neves said she didn’t believe Croslin had done anything to hurt the 5-year-old girl.

“It has been a very hard year,” Neves said. The grandmother highlighted the challenge of keeping the child’s face in the media spotlight. Neves spoke to “Today” via satellite from Welaka.

“Haleigh has the most beautiful smile,” Neves said. “It lights up a room, and it warms your heart. And we just miss her smile.”

At least now she seems willing to be open instead of passive aggressive/backstabbing.

Is this case a sh!tmagnet or what?

Poor Haleigh. Just can't imagine what her life will be like if she's returned alive and well and when she googles herself.

Haleigh Cummings' family speaks about recent drug arrests

Members from both sides of Haleigh’s family talk about their loved ones incarceration.

Four days after Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin were arrested on drug trafficking charges, their families are talking about the experiences they are having behind bars. Both Misty and Ronald have been able to make phone calls to their loved ones, and both say they are trying to keep in good spirits despite facing lengthy prison terms for trafficking prescription pain pills.

A judge has reduced Misty Croslin’s bond from $950,000 to $500,000. Misty’s family says even though her bond has been reduced, they still can’t afford to bail her out. Members of Misty’s family say Misty has contacted them a few times by telephone for 4 or 5 minute clips. We are told Misty has done a lot of crying on the phone, and has talked about going to Bible study while being under incarceration.

Ronald Cummings, Haleigh Cummings’ father, is sitting in a Flagler County jail cell by himself. His grandmother says he does have access to a telephone. She says Ronald has contacted them a few times but mainly talks about the search for Haleigh. Ronald’s grandmother also says visitation is only allowed once a week on Wednesdays, and this Wednesday will be the first time his mother will see him since he was locked away this past Thursday.

Haleigh’s Mother, Crystal Sheffield, has been granted emergency custody over Haleigh’s little brother. She says a Putnam County Judge determined it would be best that Ronnie Jr. stay with his mother while his father was behind bars.

Misty Croslin, Misty’s brother Hank “Tommy” Croslin Jr. , Ronald Cummings, Ronald’s cousin Hope Sykes, and a woman named Donna Brock all face drug trafficking charges for the illegal sale and possession of oxycodone and hydrocodone. If convicted, Ronald, Misty and Donna could face mandatory minimum sentences of 25 years in prison.

Those are pretty deadly when misused, and get very high prices on the illegal drug market. Internationally. I have a friend who takes them for her cancer pain :( and she keeps her spirits up by joking :biggrin:, and a lot of her jokes are about that.

Ask a certain American politician, known for his hard attitude on joint smokers, about addiction to those drugs...

I thought the difference was in what (if any) binder is used with the oxycodone. Any analgesic or any drug for that manner is dangerous if abused.

There's a story running now on TMZ titled Nancy Grace - Not Camera Ready for Deposition (http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/26/nancy-grace-cnn-deposition-melinda-duckett/)

It's classic. Nancy Grace does not want her deposition taken because she's afraid someone will manipulate the videotape and take her out of context.

Grace is being sued by the parents of Melinda Duckett, who killed herself -- allegedly after Grace went on the air and suggested the woman might be responsible for the disappearance of her child. Grace's deposition is scheduled to be taken this Thursday in Atlanta. Grace and CNN have objected to the videotaping of the depo.

In her legal papers, Grace's lawyer says, "The risks associated with releasing deposition videotapes prior to trial are high due to video's unique ability to be abused as they can be cut and splice and used as 'sound bites' and taken wholly out of context."

The papers go on to say there have been threats against Grace and a videotaped deposition "would serve no purpose but to further harass, embarrass and intimidate Ms. Grace and corrupt the jury pool."

[lorettalockhorn]

Doesn't it seem like the best way to prevent the videotape from being edited or misunderstood would be for it to be officially released? The Anthony depositions are published and discussed ad nauseum, what makes this harridan so special?

New Drug Arrest in Palatka

PALATKA, Fla. -- One week after five people were arrested on separate drug charges, the sheriff's office has announced yet another drug arrest in the county.

Robert Stevens, 31, faces charges of trafficking in a controlled substance 14 to 28 grams and issuing fraudulent prescriptions.


The drug/vice unit of the sheriff's office had been investigating Stevens for fraudulent prescriptions.

When police learned he would be picking up Oxycodone from Palatka Drugs Tuesday afternoon, detectives waited for him. As he left the drug store with the pills, Stevens was arrested.

He had 120 Oxycodone pills with him, and detectives said his vehicle had many fraudulently printed prescriptions in it.


The arrest comes one week after five people, three of whom have been in the news for nearly a year, were arrested in Putnam County.

Late last Wednesday, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office arrested Ronald Cummings, his ex-wife Misty and three others. Cummings is the father of Haleigh Cummings, who disappeared from her home in Satsuma last February and hasn't been seen since.

Tuesday's arrest was part of a different investigation.

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=151257&catid=3

[lorettalockhorn]

Has anyone thought about Ron's comment about what LE told him when he was arrested? That the arrests were to get information about Haleigh? Okay, we know that's delusional to a degree, but are we supposed to think they whispered that in his ear or something that this was all some elaborate set up to freak Misty out? He doesn't claim anywhere to be innocent of the charges. And he later says that he thinks he's going to the big house. So am I just trying to make too much of a stoner's blatherings?

[samanthajane13]

I think with the sheer amount of drugs they've ALL used, there probably aren't two viable brain cells to rub together in the WHOLE GROUP!!

NOTHING in this case surprises me anymore.

Poor Haleigh...and baby brother, too!!!

[lorettalockhorn]

Nancy Grace (whose deposition in the Duckett case will be videotaped with stipulations http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5hz0irCE8a-P7VJGxL9v9iXsSQtBw) still has a soft spot for Ronald Cummings even after his arrest. :rolleyes:

Why? Because he is still talking about Haleigh, just Haleigh. But he's not really. He still threatens to murder the perp, and says that he doesn't need to discuss Haleigh's case because LE will know what he knows when they get word that he's committed homicide. Sheesh This really bodes well for Junior doesn't it?

Well, hell. He'd rather sell drugs than look for Haleigh, so I guess her abductor(s) are safe.

Cummings: Focus Turns To Haleigh

Father Of Missing 6-Year-Old Says Investigators Ask About Girl After His Arrest

Ronald Cummings said detectives wasted no time asking him about his missing 6-year-old daughter after police arrested him on drug charges last week, according to a phone conversation with a Florida Times-Union reporter.

Cummings said questions from investigators immediately turned to Haleigh following his arrest.

"They just told me that their main focus is not on putting me in jail but finding Haleigh," Cummings said in the recorded conversation from his Flagler County jail cell. "They already know that I don't know nothing about Haleigh's disappearance, or otherwise I would've already been in DOC."

Cummings also talked about what he'd do if he ever finds the person responsible for the girl's disappearance last February.

Uncut Audio:
Ronald's Jailhouse Interview

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investigators Ask About Girl

"Kill him. Same thing I said on the 911 call. I'm telling you, I haven't changed my mind not a bit," Cummings said. "I don't care if they get me with unjustifiable homicide. I don't care. If I find out what happened to my youngin it doesn't matter to me. It will be worth life without parole or the death penalty."

Cummings' conversation with the reporter turned from Haleigh to his ex-wife, Misty Cummings, the last person to see his daughter, and whether Ronald thinks Misty knows more than she's telling.

"It's hard to believe she doesn't know more, but it's also hard to believe that if she did know more she ain't already talked," Cummings said. "Especially if they got her locked up like they got me."

"I want my family to know I love them, my girlfriend to know I love them, my kids to know I love them, Haleigh to know I'll never give up on her," Cummings added. "This is a setback in my life that when I come out will remind me what I should be doing and not what I was doing, what I'm being accused of doing."

>>"They already know that I don't know nothing about Haleigh's disappearance, or otherwise I would've already been in DOC."

But NO one is in DOC. This guy is whistling in the wind if he thinks that LE is clueless about what was going on with Haleigh's family and what may have happened to her, IMO.

Cops detail drug deals by Croslin, Cummings

Authorities have released detailed reports of the narcotics investigation involving the father and former stepmother of Haleigh Cummings.

According to the report, the investigation began on Dec. 22, with the sheriff's office looking into illegal drug distribution activities of Misty Croslin and her brother, Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr.

By the completion of the month-long undercover operation, both the siblings were arrested, along with Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, his cousin, Hope Sykes and former EquuSearch volunteer Donna Brock.

Misty Croslin was babysitting then 5-year-old Haleigh the night she disappeared from her Satsuma home. She later married Cummings before they divorced eight months later.

Investigators said seven drug transactions took place, involving the exchange of Oxycodone and Hydrocodone pain pills.

In the first drug transaction, Misty and Hank Croslin met with an undercover officer at railroad tracks off Buffalo Bluff Road in Satsuma, and made their way to the Oasis Bar, a St. Johns Avenue pool hall and a McDonald's restaurant before completing the exchange of 45 pills.

In the second incident, which involved Croslin and Brock, Croslin had stated that "she was freaked out because this was a lot of money and a lot of pills" and "that she did not want to get in trouble".

Other reports detailed Croslin and Cummings distributing the narcotics at predetermined locations, such as the Dunns Creek Bridge and San Mateo area gas stations.

The final transaction took place last Wednesday, when the report says Croslin and Cummings purchased trafficking amounts of narcotics from undercover investigators. All five were subsequently arrested.

Street value of the drugs was estimated to be $3,900.

If convicted, Croslin could face up to 74 years in prison and Cummings could face up to 43 years, with 25-year minimum terms.

Croslin's bail was set the highest, at $950,000, for six counts of trafficking in prescription medications.

Cummings' bond was set at $500,000 for three counts of drug trafficking.

Investigators have said Croslin is "the key to the investigation" into the child's disappearance.

They also said they will take every opportunity to question the five while they are in custody about Haleigh's whereabouts.

Ronald Cummings jailhouse interview

The father of Haleigh Cummings spoke with Florida Times-Union reporter Dana Treen this week about his incarceration in the Flagler County Jail and the disappearance of his daughter.

LISTEN TO THE JAILHOUSE INTERVIEW TO THE RIGHT>>>

Cummings, his ex-wife Misty Croslin and others were arrested in an undercover drug operation last week. Croslin faces six counts of trafficking in prescription medication and Cummings is charged with three counts.

The interview was conducted on Sunday, January 24, three days after his arrest.

"I'm going to DOC (Department Of Corrections). I'm going to prison, no 'ifs, ands, or buts,'" said Cummings.

Ronald spoke about the night he was arrested. He said at the time of the arrest that he wasn't doing anything illegal.

"I was in the store buying some cigarettes, and I came out of the store, and the dude called me to the car, and I got in a car with him," said Cummings. "When I got out of the car, there was like 6 carloads of FBI, FDLE, whatever…SWAT. They laid me on the ground, and that was the end of that. I've been here in solitary confinement since then," he added.

Ronald talked at length about his jail cell and his isolation. He said his cell only has a toilet, a sink, a cot, and a mirror inside. He said it's no bigger than eight feet by ten feet.

"Nobody on either side, nobody nowhere around, nothing but a hallway. They got a telephone that pushes up to the door. I'm actually kneeled down talking. It's got like 2 maybe 3 inches of cord inside my cell in my room. And its through my food door," said Cummings.

Ronald said the isolation sometimes gets under his skin. "You know what's bad? I don't look forward to breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I look forward to after breakfast lunch and dinner, 'cause after breakfast lunch and dinner, the one trustee has to come through here and pick up the trash. Well, they bring the trash right through the back door right past where I'm at, so he has to come right by me, so I get to see him for 3 minutes in the morning, 3 minutes in the afternoon, 3 minutes at night," said Cummings.

Ronald said detectives have only questioned him once about his daughters disappearance. "They just told me their main focus is not on putting on me in jail but finding Haleigh. They didn't really question me. They already know I don't know nothing about Haleigh's disappearance or nothing else, or otherwise I'd already be in the Department Of Corrections," said Cummings.

Ronald's voice was very calm during the entire phone conversation. At one point, he did get slightly enraged when he talked about what he would do to the person who abducted his daughter.

"It'll be justifiable homicide. I don't care if they get me with unjustifiable homicide. I don't care, if I find out what happened to my youngin' it doesn't matter to me. It'll be worth life without parole or the death penalty or whatever," said Cummings.

Ronald also spoke about his relationship with his former wife Misty Cummings. Misty is the last person thought to have seen Haleigh Cummings before she disappeared in February of 2009.

"There really isn't a relationship I guess, just ex-wife, slash friend," said Cummings.

"Of course, I want to know if she knows anything. It's hard to believe that she don't know more, but it's also hard to believe that if she did know more she didn't already talk," said Cummings.

Each phone call only lasted for a little more than 17 minutes. Just prior to being disconnected, Ronald had a message he wanted his family to know.

"I want my family to know I love them. I want my girlfriend to know I love her, my kids to know I love them, Haleigh to know I love her, and this is a setback in my life," said Cummings. "When I come out, it will remind me what I should be doing, not what I was doing, or accused of doing," said Cummings.

Convictions on all charges levied against Cummings could result in a sentence of as many as 43 years in prison. Cummings told Treen that the charges are 'a setback in my life.'

Jailhouse interview: Haleigh Cummings' father talks about his arrest
Ronald Cummings calls drug charges 'a setback in my life'

From his one-man cell at the Flagler County jail Sunday, Ronald Cummings said he hasn’t been questioned yet about the disappearance of his daughter, Haleigh, but said her still open case made him a target.

“They told me their main focus is not putting me in jail, it was finding Haleigh,” Cummings said in a phone call to a Times-Union reporter.

Cummings, 26, said the assertion was made after he was grabbed Wednesday evening after he stopped at a convenience store on U.S. 17 south of Palatka in San Mateo. When Cummings came out of the store after buying a pack of cigarettes he said he was called over to a car by a man he knew.

When he climbed in, his ex-wife, Misty Croslin, 18, was also inside.

When Cummings got out of the car, officers from state agencies and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office swarmed in and arrested him and Croslin on charges of trafficking in prescription pills. Cummings said he was thrown on the ground, handcuffed and told there was a warrant for his arrest.

Cummings wouldn’t discuss the drug charges other than to say he thinks he will go to prison.

Meanwhile, authorities have made no secret that Cummings, Croslin and others arrested in the undercover drug operation will be asked about Haleigh. She was 5 when she disappeared from the double-wide mobile home where she was living with her father, Croslin and brother Ronald Cummings Jr.

Cummings said he didn’t recognize the person who told him about the focus on Haleigh, but said he was fingerprinted in Putnam County and taken directly to the Flagler County jail, where he is in what he described as a solitary cell with a toilet-sink combination unit, bunk and mirror.

Investigators have said the two cases are not connected. Detectives working on the disappearance were kept in the dark about the drug case that evolved from a tip, authorities said after the arrests.

Croslin was taken to the St. Johns County jail, where she remained Sunday. Her brother, Hank Croslin Jr. was also arrested in the operation and is jailed in St. Johns. Two others, Cummings’ cousin Hope A. Sykes and a friend of Misty Croslin, Donna M. Brock, are also charged. Sykes is being held in Putnam County and Brock in St. Johns.

Misty Croslin faces six counts of trafficking in prescription medication, Cummings is charged with three counts. Hank Croslin Jr., Sykes and Brock face one count each.

There were 330 pills of oxycodone and hydrocodone involved, authorities said.

Separating suspects involved in the same case is not uncommon, but for the duration of the case, detectives have been especially intent on questioning Misty Croslin, who was the last person to see Haleigh. She called 911 early on the morning of Feb. 10 last year to report the kindergartner missing.

Cummings said Croslin has not told him any more about what happened that night. The two married in March and divorced in October and Cummings said their relationship now is “ex-wife, slash, friend.”

The night Haleigh disappeared, Cummings had been at work and was arriving home as Croslin was making the 911 call.

He said he doesn’t know if she knows more about what happened that night.

“That’s a hard question to answer,” he said. It is hard to think she does not know more, he said, but equally hard to think she could have kept it secret from detectives for nearly a year.

He said he had nothing to do with a tattoo with his name on it that Croslin got this month. Croslin and Sykes each paid for tattoos they got at the same time, he said.

Cummings said he is housed in a cell alone and that there are no other inmates nearby.

The door to the cell is solid with a narrow pass-through for food. When he uses the phone, it is handed through the slot, he said.

Cummings blames the isolation on being involved in a “high profile case,” he said. His treatment at the jail has been mixed, he said, with some corrections officers easier to get along with than others.

He said he has been allowed only one shower so far, though three a week is the routine, and has not been allowed recreation time.

“I’m going to prison,” he said. He said he had no idea how long any sentence might be. When Cummings was arrested, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman said convictions on all the charges could mean 43 years in prison.

“This is a setback in my life,” Cummings said.

>>calls drug charges 'a setback in my life'

Oh really. What about Junior's life? Moron.

>>but said her still open case made him a target.

Oh really. It wasn't you selling drugs? At the McDonald's where children play? Gee, if you'll sell drugs at Micky Dee's presumably while other children are around and not think twice about it, does that mean that you'll sell drugs when your own children are around? http://www.emofaces.com/en/emoticons/d/dunce-emoticon.gif

Maybe you shoulda been home reading a bedtime story to Junior instead of being around drugs for the umpteenth time. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u238/Stroogz/LoserSmiley.png

I can't believe how no one has snapped and 'fessed up yet.

Maybe its like hypnotism, you know, how its hard to hypnotize someone who's stupid? Maybe people can be too dumb to know they should talk. Maybe the police could make a helpful picture book for future cases.

So frustrating.

Haleigh Cummings – The Donna Brock Connection

Donna Brock was a huge media target for a couple of weeks after her adventure with Misty Croslin. What only recently became public was that late in October 2009 she received her ‘walking papers’ from Texas Equusearch’. The letter is well crafted, it does not state her position with TES, we are left to guess if she was a volunteer or on the payroll.

TES sent the letter distancing themselves from Donna Brock quickly after her arrest. The interesting part is the date, October 30.

Could it be pure chance that Donna Brock was at the funeral for Somer Thompson on October 27? There is an interesting picture that has surfaced...

>>"I'm going to DOC (Department Of Corrections). I'm going to prison, no 'ifs, ands, or buts,'" said Cummings.

>>Buh bye:seeya:

What I want to know is, why would he be so confident that he is going to prison if he says he wasn't doing anything illegal when he was arrested? Why no outraged yelling about being set up, or he's innocent, or whatever?

And, wonder who his gf is these days? I haven't seen or heard any mention about him being seen w/a new girl--you'd think the press would have a heyday w/that. Of course, they were concentrating on anytime he was w/his ex-wife slash friend Misty Croslin. Maybe they missed something there. The only other woman I have seen his name connected to (non family) is w/this arrest--Donna Brock. ;)

Interesting that Ron's the one who's going stir crazy and talking, eh? And his voice is as alien sounding as NG's is. Nothing like that false prosody and keening and temper tantrums that we heard on the 911 tape and in front of the media.

Watching Miss Nancy and she is still championing for Ronald. Just don't get it. :confused:

[beemer]

These folks talk in a word salad :shrug: Only thing i read about Ron and a new g/f was that she was a stripper. Guess she moved on? He claims this is a setback in life? If he gets the max it's pretty much gonna be his whole life :confused: Where is Haleigh :rose:

Haleigh Cummings Update – More On The Donna Brock Connection

Tim Miller has been fighting tooth and nail to prevent the Caylee Anthony defense from obtaining any of Texas Equusearch’s records. That battle is still raging. It seems likely that nothing will be resolved anytime soon. I have my own theories about Jose Baez, Andrea (I have never lost a capital case) Lyons, and the rest of the defense dwarfs involved. I’d love to know how come we don’t hear any of the babbling from Lawrence Kobelinsky anymore. Of course it would be easy to tag Koby (Nancy Grace’s name for him) as just another ‘Hired Gun’.

Tim Miller is no newcomer to the world of the media. His intentions may well be upstanding, in fact to say anything detrimental about Tim Miller opens up a huge quagmire of trouble.

Within the press we have a private joke, if you are going to do (interview) Tim Miller, it is best to schedule it early in the morning.

Donna Brock most likely started off as just another keen volunteer for the organization. She viewed it as a way to ‘make a difference’. Hey, doesn’t everyone want to do that?

Donna Brock made it to be noticed by the upper levels of Tim Miller’s organization. She was selected as the Texas Equusearch tool to unravel the mystery of where Haleigh Cummings is.

Tim Miller has always said that his organization prides itself on being careful and vetting perspective volunteers. In fact it was this argument that was put up in the Caylee Anthony case when the defense tried to obtain personal data about the Texas Equusearch volunteers involved in the search for Caylee Anthony. For the record I have absolutely no respect for Jose Baez or his dwarfs and dwarffetes. Based on the Donna Brock arrest Tim Miller’s organization has now moved into a less stable area than they were in.

Rumors concerning Tim Miller have been swirling around for some considerable time. The Donna Brock involvement can do nothing but make people look closer at his organization.

I am certain that Tim Miller has nothing but the best of intentions. However, I would say that he is on some thin ice right now.

Donna Brock might not be the key to solving the Haleigh Cummings case, but she could certainly be the lady that brings more attention on Tim Miller than he could wish in his worst nightmare.

Excellent post Beemer. I can see that all of them had done enough drugs to fry their brains some. RC "I am going to jail but I am innocent" paranoia.
a side effect. they re all supposedly scared and afraid to talk. I am more suspicious now of RC then ever. I do not expect them to make a lot of sense until I hear a real confession. Everyone is in a talkabout,in denial,paranoid and or/confused. IMO sara

[lorettalockhorn]

Does anyone have a clue what it is that Simon keeps coyly referring to re:Tim Miller? I think in one blog her referred to (him as) a joke in "the industry". I'm curious as to exactly what industry TM and Simon share membership. Haven't seen SB rescuing or recovering and haven't seen Tim acting like an ASW all over the internet.

As for Brock being selected as the tool for unraveling the mystery blah, blah, blah, I'll agree that Miller was a tool for using her for that purpose.

[samanthajane13]

"RC "I am going to jail but I am innocent"...

Sort of reminds me of "When you hear the REAL story..." Skank. But in the mean time, she sits on her azz in jail.

Why the Hell don't they just TELL the "REAL story" and get her out, if there's enough proof to get the charges dropped???

I still say that either the LE there is even stupider than the PIs (were they even declared PIs?) and don't have the same street smarts or that the PIs have lots of stuff on LE.

Bottom line, nobody there gives a cr@p about a little girl with a birth defect.

We care more about Haleigh then they do!

[beemer]

Yeah i would like to know what the inside joke is as well Loretta. He did make a poor choice which unfortunately has brought criticism to his organization. The fact that these character's have not turned against each other to save their own hides is very telling in my opine. Perhaps they all had direct involvement in Haleigh's death and whereabouts. As long as they keep their mouths shut not one of them goes down-at this point anyway. If one is as guilty as the other why open your mouth if your gonna do huge time :shrug:

Haleigh Cummings Update – TES Responds About Donna Brock

...The really interesting name in last nights adventures is Donna Brock. This is the Texas Equusearch lady that wined, dined, and pampered Misty Croslin on Tim Miller’s expense account. Miller has been somewhat coy as to where the money came from to give Donna the money for Misty Croslin’s fabulous vacation. He has said that it came from his own wallet. That likely is true, but how did the money make it into his wallet? Indirectly it seems a possibility that his organization might have financed a wild weekend for Misty and Donna.

TES has wasted no time to distance themselves from Donna Brock. This is the woman that Tim Miller claimed to be the very bastion of righteousness. Donna, according to interviews on cable TV was a much truanted member of TES.

TES wasted no time in publishing Donna Brock’s ‘resignation’ letter. The only problem is that it was not written by Donna Brock! She apparently did not resign, she was fired! This leads to another question, was she a volunteer or a staff member? Generally you just tell a volunteer that you thank them for their efforts, but you no longer require their efforts.

You can read the whole letter, but the statements that caught my interest were:

Please allow this letter to serve as your official termination from Texas
EquuSearch. This was a unanimous decision reached by the Board of Directors.
Accordingly, you are to no longer represent yourself as being a member of Texas
EquuSearch, a volunteer of Texas EquuSearch, or in any way affiliated with Texas
EquuSearch.

This wording is serious, yet also nebulous. It does not actually claim that she was on the payroll.

The second, and last paragraph says:

A formal request is being made herein for you to return any t-shirts, hats,
identification badge or anything else in your possession with the Texas EquuSearch
logo or artwork to this office at the above address immediately.

How can a trusted person like Donna become the scapegoat? Actually it is pretty simple to understand. On October the 3rd I reported this story. Now by my estimations this was almost four weeks prior to the letter of termination. What happened?

It is easy to understand why Tim Miller and TES wants to distance themselves from Donna Brock. She has become a huge iceberg in the ocean of fund-raising for the organization.

There are some people that question the integrity of Tim Miller and his organization and the Donna Brock letter is a great example. Within less than 28 days she went from being the ‘pet’ of the organization to someone that required removal. Tim Miller made lots of hay with the story about ‘his’ Donna Brock’ helping crack the Haleigh Cummings story. Nancy Grace was on it like ‘white on rice’ (well once it was explained to her).

So what went wrong? Why did Donna Brock find herself on the outs? One day she is Tim Millers best buddy, the next she is toast!

A standing joke in the industry about Tim Miller… nah, this is not the time nor place. It will come out, and maybe Donna Brock will be the person that reveals it. Sitting in jail with a $250,000 bond problem does give people lots of time to reflect. Will she spill the beans?

Took forever for the NG transcript to be posted, but Pat Brown's comments are very interesting to me and would explain exactly why Ron&Misty don't turn on each other (even though her ideas go against the grain of some other experts):

...GRACE: To Pat Brown, criminal profiler, author of "Killing for Sport." Do you think she even remembers what happened?

PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER, AUTHOR OF "KILLING FOR SPORT": Absolutely. And I think Ronald is pulling her strings. I have to agree with the caller and disagree with Bethany Marshall.

I think Ronald is criminal, pathologically lying psychopath who is controlling his girlfriend. After all, this is a guy who said he would go out and kill people to get them back for doing something to his child but he won`t even beat up his girlfriend to find out why she`s lying about what happened to her.

He is controlling her and is probably very afraid of what she`s going to say in that jail cell. So I don`t think he`s thinking she`s going to crack. He`s going to get some information. I think he`s worried that she will crack.

GRACE: So you think that he was part of it?

BROWN: I do. I think -- I don`t believe that this kind of guy.

GRACE: OK, wait a minute.

BROWN: . would have backed her all this time...

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1001/28/ng.01.html

As for Miller, I hope sending Special Agent Brock in to work on Misty is the most half-baked (and final!) harebrained thing he's done. At any rate, he has done more to bring dignity and justice to missing persons that Simon Barrett ever has and probably ever will.

Missing Haleigh Cummings' Dad Speaks Out From Jail

Ronald Cummings Arrested On Drug Charges Last Week

PALATKA, Fla. -- The father of missing 5-year old Haleigh Cummings says if he ever finds the person responsible for his daughter's disappearance, he'll kill them.

Ronald Cummings made those threats from behind bars at the Flagler County Jail where he's being held on drug charges. On Feb. 10, Haleigh will have been missing for a year.

"I ain't changed my mind not a bit," he said in an interview with a newspaper reporter. "I don't care if they get me on unjustifiable homicide. I don't care. If I find out what happened to my young one ... it doesn't matter to me. It is worth life without parole, the death penalty or whatever."

Cummings also said he believes his ex-wife, Misty Cummings, the last person to see his daughter, knows more than she has told investigators. She is also in jail on drug charges.

Aww now Mother Teresa won't have to drive so far for him to cry on her shoulder. And maybe the PC pokey isn't just two sheets of plywood.

Was it ever established just how long Ron was employed at that honest job?

And maybe he doesn't have to kneel down to use the phone through his food trough to threaten murder to who ever stole his child while he was earning an honest living. (As opposed to his now dishonest living.)

BBM

I must admit that was what jumped out @ me, even more than the threats and cursing, etc. Especially since he seemed to say it several times in the next few days. Why the emphasis on honest living? That's what the majority of us who do work do, work @ an honest living. So, it sure made me think even back then that he also did dishonest living--but was it some time before he got his "honest" living work, or was it going on the whole time.

But, ya know, what's a guy to do, once he is fired from his honest living (or let go, no show?) I'm sure he didn't want to be known like the A's and how they are able to pay bills and get tats and go on cruises whilst not working. Wonder if he tried to get other employment in Putnam county. or just decided that no one would hire him because of all the media ruckus. :shrug:

[Amy]

Was it ever established just how long Ron was employed at that honest job?

I'm thinking he hadn't been there long enough to pass the 90 day probationary period, but wouldn't have a clue exactly where I read that.

[lorettalockhorn]

Amy, it does seem like it wasn't very long, even though way back when he actually told the judge that he had a job and could provide insurance for Haleigh and Junior. So not sure if he had another job before PDM or what.

Hey guys! I have been out of the loop lately, my internet went down because my dish blew off the roof and I did not like it anyway and now I have my DSL back on even though I feel I pay too much for it, but ya gotta do what you have to! I have been laughing all week over the sheer stupidity of all of these losers! I laughed so hard when the judge asks honey pie what she did for a living and she says Nuttin???? "How do you support yourself? "My mother and father"?? And how do they all support themselves? SELLING DRUGS AND STEALING CHECKS!!!! And I am highly pleased that the bail amounts, though reduced are still too high for them to get out because I think that they all would bolt seeing as they are facing major time!!! Now if Putnam plays their cards right, and offer this little skank a deal, like we won't give you life if you own up to where Haleigh is? She ain't gonna like being in that 8x10 much longer, she gets one hour out, no TV or radio in her cell, nothing to do but stare at the walls and I am thinking is she detoxing? That mug shot, she looks like she is, she is haggard and she looks way older than 18.

And what pisses me off is due to losers like them, Dr's are leery to prescribe narcotics because of how widely abused they are and how they are being sold on the streets. About 5 people in the last year here, are all in prison for selling Vicodin and Oxy's and three were charged with negligent homicide because they sold these to people that overdosed and died, One woman, what a racket she had going. She was getting Oxy's and Valium from a DR in AZ and she was getting Vicodin and Methadone from a DR here and she sold Oxy's and the Methadone to a 21 year old guy who died. She got 15 years and you should have heard her whining to the judge, and he did not take the bait, he called her a low life, a boil on the backside of humanity!!! And that Donna Brock was getting her Vics from a dentist in VA?? What reputable DR would give this trash scripts???

And ole honey pie, she is really on the hot seat, she sold more than the other losers and she will be facing some serious time. And listening to Ron and his crap was making me puke! Now most people including NG STILL think he does not know where Haleigh is and I think that he doesn't, because if he did, I think he would follow up on his threat and would either seriously injure or kill the person, his mind-set has not changed in the last year. And NOW Granny Neves comes forward and says that NOW she thinks Misty KNOWS where Haleigh? NOW that son sits in jail? For 10 months this loser granny has sung the praises of that skank and only NOW she is doubting Misty's crap stories??? These people are incapable of being human beings.

Total white trash, they lie, steal, cheat, procreate just to bring more trash spawn into the world, sell and use drugs, swill booze, write bad checks, steal checks from an old man, commit domestic violence, and one clearly is a pedophile who has had three teen girls, two of which were under the age of 16 when they gave birth to his children and one who highly suspect in the disappearance and possible murder of Haleigh. Now three of them face serious jail time for selling narcotics and one of them is gonna flip on the others, that is a given because trash like this do not know loyalty when it comes to saving their own asses, they were all raised to be criminals and to lie to LE and sing like canary's if they are cornered.

And I wonder JUST how Misty's loser parents are supporting her? My guess is selling their own drugs, Daddy was busted for being a pill shopper or they are on the WELFARE? Now I am glad that skank is now 18, whatever happens, she will be convicted as an adult and I live to see that happen, as I loathe the sight of this loser broad and I loathe them all collectively, but I really hate her because I KNOW that she killed that precious child and how do I know this? Misty would have given it up by now if she had sold her to pay a drug debt or to a trafficker, she would use this as leverage to get out of jail and since she hasn't cooperated as of yet, this tells me that Haleigh is no longer among the living and likely died that night by her hand in some fashion and drug overdose is as plausible as any because this skank is an addict.

And I really hate Ron for subjecting his precious children to this inbred piece of trash, he chose her over these poor babies because he is a babyraper in the true sense of the word, regardless that it was consensual, he likes them young because he can control them, and brag to the other losers that he has a "young un" In that town of trash, he is KING! He be the MAN! I think he is ugly, nothing about him is appealing, but I guess to the uneducated, lawless teens of Satsuma, he is the cock of the walk!! And when I heard him say he has a new girlfriend, my first thought was, how old is she? 12? 14? Apparently her parents don't care anymore than the Croslin scumbags? I don't call that town Deliverance for nothing!! But I wonder if he really does? When asked about how he feels about honey pie, he says that she is an ex and a friend? Quite possibly he is banging both of them?

I just hope that there is a break through in this, Crystal needs to know where her child is and God Bless the court, she has full custody of Jr and Art says that she is employed, and has a car and a house, so the court granted custody to her after an 911 hearing and maybe now this poor little boy can be properly cared for, his sperm donor of a father would rather sell drugs and bang teens than be a suitable father to him and he does not deserve to ever be in his life again and I do believe Crystal this time, will not bend and let him back into his life, it is not fair to Jr. I predict that when he gets older, he is gonna have issues especially if Haleigh is indeed dead and we all know she is, and I hope that Crystal has enough on the ball to realize that he will need therapy. Now she won't win mother of the year, but Jr needed to get the hell away from that Scummings family!

PAT BROWN, CRIMINAL PROFILER, AUTHOR OF "KILLING FOR SPORT": Absolutely. And I think Ronald is pulling her strings. I have to agree with the caller and disagree with Bethany Marshall.

I think Ronald is criminal, pathologically lying psychopath who is controlling his girlfriend. After all, this is a guy who said he would go out and kill people to get them back for doing something to his child but he won`t even beat up his girlfriend to find out why she`s lying about what happened to her.

He is controlling her and is probably very afraid of what she`s going to say in that jail cell. So I don`t think he`s thinking she`s going to crack. He`s going to get some information. I think he`s worried that she will crack.

GRACE: So you think that he was part of it?

BROWN: I do. I think -- I don`t believe that this kind of guy.

GRACE: OK, wait a minute.

BROWN: . would have backed her all this time...

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1001/28/ng.01.html

As for Miller, I hope sending Special Agent Brock in to work on Misty is the most half-baked (and final!) harebrained thing he's done. At any rate, he has done more to bring dignity and justice to missing persons that Simon Barrett ever has and probably ever will.

Pat Brown is one smart lady. miz nancy would do good not to cross her. She ain't no small leak like the idiots miz nancy is use to dealing with on this case. Ms. Brown will chop her off at the knees.

Missing Haleigh Cummings' Dad Speaks Out From Jail

Ronald Cummings Arrested On Drug Charges Last Week

PALATKA, Fla. -- The father of missing 5-year old Haleigh Cummings says if he ever finds the person responsible for his daughter's disappearance, he'll kill them.

Ronald Cummings made those threats from behind bars at the Flagler County Jail where he's being held on drug charges. On Feb. 10, Haleigh will have been missing for a year.

"I ain't changed my mind not a bit," he said in an interview with a newspaper reporter. "I don't care if they get me on unjustifiable homicide. I don't care. If I find out what happened to my young one ... it doesn't matter to me. It is worth life without parole, the death penalty or whatever."

Cummings also said he believes his ex-wife, Misty Cummings, the last person to see his daughter, knows more than she has told investigators. She is also in jail on drug charges.

All this big talk makes you wonder why he hasn't beat the peewaddle&doo* out of his babysitter/girlfriend/wife/ex-wifeslashfriend.

*Not that that is socially acceptable.

Or that he hasn't already and that is why she has been quiet.

Not that I'm any judge, Pat Brown is one of the pundits that I most respect. I do think there is the possibility that at some point Misty really didn't remember everything that happened that night and that it's even possible that someone dosed her with GHB or something, but it seems like those memories might be recoverable. (I think one of the talking heads Thursday night said that it's not likely though.) It would be nice if someone could convince or compel her to have some sessions with a forensic psychiatrist/hypnotherapist. NOT that her attorney would allow it.

Or that he hasn't already and that is why she has been quiet.

Ron appears to be a wuss (HAHAHA remember when Timmy called him a faggotassb!tch?) unless he's armed, but I'm thinking that the women/girls in his life are fully aware of his rages and controlling nature.

Haleigh Cummings Update – Yet More Donna Brock….

I think it is clear that my articles concerning Donna Brock have reached some folks that do not want to have their name associated with her. I received a delightful email...

...This person also went on to explain that the ‘Finger’ was not aimed at Tim Miller, or his organization TES, the group in the photograph were just blowing off steam, they had had a hard day, and the sentiment was aimed at someone else.

This person also went on to explain that no one in the picture agreed with Donna Brock.

Of course this begs the question of why Donna Brock is not the only one in the picture that is extending a digit? Or maybe more importantly why Donna Brock is clearly the focal point in the picture. If Donna Brock was so disliked why would this group of people assemble around her?

One aspect that still puzzles me are the dates. This picture was taken three days before the termination letter. One wonders if the picture had anything to do with it?

In no way do I wish to implicate Tim Miller, nor TES in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings. To do so would be crass stupidity. TES has a long history of helping some people. Alas though, there are many families that do not share this view.

What is interesting is that much of the vitriol is aimed not at the organization as a whole, but squarely at Tim Miller himself. Even within the organizations that volunteer time, money, and effort to search for missing children there seems to be a Tim Miller issue. Mark Klaas for example came out with guns blazing on a Nancy Grace program over Miller’s involvement in the Haleigh Cummings case and his use of Donna Brock as ‘bait’....

Interesting comments and links inside including Mr. Brock's myspace where as of yesterday, he's still claiming to be married. The address at the SJSO that Donna gave belongs to Antonio Mills. :shrug:

EXCLUSIVE: “Misty No Drug Dealer!” —Dad

It was a shock to me,” Misty Croslin’s father, Hank, Sr. tells The Bald Truth in an exclusive interview after learning his 18 year old daughter was behind bars charged with six counts of drug trafficking and held on a whopping $950,000 bond...

...And her brother, Tommy? “He’s an addict, not a criminal,” his wife, Lindsay, tells me...

...“If she bought some pills, she was just doing people favors,” Hank Croslin explained. “If you know Palatka, this ain’t nothing but a cesspool of drugs and pills...

...As for Tommy Croslin, Misty’s brother who is charged with one count of trafficking, his wife Lindsay tells me that he’s “an addict, not a criminal. He’s sick, he’s sick. The worst he’s ever done is smoke weed until he got hooked on Roxydcondone.”

In an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth, his wife, Lindsay, says she’s tried to get him into a rehab program, “but the cheapest one costs $8,700 a month and we don’t have it. I could get a judge to lock him up for 72 hours, but he’d come out of the hospital and need drugs for his habit. I don’t know what to do.”...

http://www.artharris.com/2010/01/28/exclusive-misty-no-drug-dealer-tommy-an-addict-not-a-criminal-croslin-family/#more-3802

Hasn't Lindsay denied that Hankie uses drugs? And isn't it interesting that Misty knew those stolen articles were in the house (hidden in the bedroom closet), but Lindsay had no clue? Hope she pays more attention to her children than she does her kids. :rolleyes:

[lorettalockhorn]

Hey guys! I have been out of the loop lately, my internet went down because my dish blew off the roof and I did not like it anyway and now I have my DSL back on even though I feel I pay too much for it, but ya gotta do what you have to! I have been laughing all week over the sheer stupidity of all of these losers! I laughed so hard when the judge asks honey pie what she did for a living and she says Nuttin???? "How do you support yourself? "My mother and father"?? And how do they all support themselves? SELLING DRUGS AND STEALING CHECKS!!!! And I am highly pleased that the bail amounts, though reduced are still too high for them to get out because I think that they all would bolt seeing as they are facing major time!!! Now if Putnam plays their cards right, and offer this little skank a deal, like we won't give you life if you own up to where Haleigh is? She ain't gonna like being in that 8x10 much longer, she gets one hour out, no TV or radio in her cell, nothing to do but stare at the walls and I am thinking is she detoxing? That mug shot, she looks like she is, she is haggard and she looks way older than 18.

And what pisses me off is due to losers like them, Dr's are leery to prescribe narcotics because of how widely abused they are and how they are being sold on the streets. About 5 people in the last year here, are all in prison for selling Vicodin and Oxy's and three were charged with negligent homicide because they sold these to people that overdosed and died, One woman, what a racket she had going. She was getting Oxy's and Valium from a DR in AZ and she was getting Vicodin and Methadone from a DR here and she sold Oxy's and the Methadone to a 21 year old guy who died. She got 15 years and you should have heard her whining to the judge, and he did not take the bait, he called her a low life, a boil on the backside of humanity!!! And that Donna Brock was getting her Vics from a dentist in VA?? What reputable DR would give this trash scripts???

And ole honey pie, she is really on the hot seat, she sold more than the other losers and she will be facing some serious time. And listening to Ron and his crap was making me puke! Now most people including NG STILL think he does not know where Haleigh is and I think that he doesn't, because if he did, I think he would follow up on his threat and would either seriously injure or kill the person, his mind-set has not changed in the last year. And NOW Granny Neves comes forward and says that NOW she thinks Misty KNOWS where Haleigh? NOW that son sits in jail? For 10 months this loser granny has sung the praises of that skank and only NOW she is doubting Misty's crap stories??? These people are incapable of being human beings.

Total white trash, they lie, steal, cheat, procreate just to bring more trash spawn into the world, sell and use drugs, swill booze, write bad checks, steal checks from an old man, commit domestic violence, and one clearly is a pedophile who has had three teen girls, two of which were under the age of 16 when they gave birth to his children and one who highly suspect in the disappearance and possible murder of Haleigh. Now three of them face serious jail time for selling narcotics and one of them is gonna flip on the others, that is a given because trash like this do not know loyalty when it comes to saving their own asses, they were all raised to be criminals and to lie to LE and sing like canary's if they are cornered.

And I wonder JUST how Misty's loser parents are supporting her? My guess is selling their own drugs, Daddy was busted for being a pill shopper or they are on the WELFARE? Now I am glad that skank is now 18, whatever happens, she will be convicted as an adult and I live to see that happen, as I loathe the sight of this loser broad and I loathe them all collectively, but I really hate her because I KNOW that she killed that precious child and how do I know this? Misty would have given it up by now if she had sold her to pay a drug debt or to a trafficker, she would use this as leverage to get out of jail and since she hasn't cooperated as of yet, this tells me that Haleigh is no longer among the living and likely died that night by her hand in some fashion and drug overdose is as plausible as any because this skank is an addict.

And I really hate Ron for subjecting his precious children to this inbred piece of trash, he chose her over these poor babies because he is a babyraper in the true sense of the word, regardless that it was consensual, he likes them young because he can control them, and brag to the other losers that he has a "young un" In that town of trash, he is KING! He be the MAN! I think he is ugly, nothing about him is appealing, but I guess to the uneducated, lawless teens of Satsuma, he is the cock of the walk!! And when I heard him say he has a new girlfriend, my first thought was, how old is she? 12? 14? Apparently her parents don't care anymore than the Croslin scumbags? I don't call that town Deliverance for nothing!! But I wonder if he really does? When asked about how he feels about honey pie, he says that she is an ex and a friend? Quite possibly he is banging both of them?

I just hope that there is a break through in this, Crystal needs to know where her child is and God Bless the court, she has full custody of Jr and Art says that she is employed, and has a car and a house, so the court granted custody to her after an 911 hearing and maybe now this poor little boy can be properly cared for, his sperm donor of a father would rather sell drugs and bang teens than be a suitable father to him and he does not deserve to ever be in his life again and I do believe Crystal this time, will not bend and let him back into his life, it is not fair to Jr. I predict that when he gets older, he is gonna have issues especially if Haleigh is indeed dead and we all know she is, and I hope that Crystal has enough on the ball to realize that he will need therapy. Now she won't win mother of the year, but Jr needed to get the hell away from that Scummings family!

Have you noticed that the photo from the PC jail site is completely different from the St. John's site? Something tells me Misty has been in jail before, specifically before she was 18 years old.

Ron spoke out about Misty's tat of his name and said that we should take notice that the only two women on his body are Mother Teresa and Haleigh. Only in dog years is Haleigh a woman. What a pig.

I hope and pray to God that if/when Ron gets out of this setback while Butterbean is still a minor that Crystal stays clean and can convince the court to give her permanent custody. And it's interesting that even though Ron had had numerous arrests, he had never undergone drug testing like Crystal underwent last week. Guess that's what she gets for being truthful with Judge Clueless.

Haleigh Cummings Update – Drugs, Drugs, And More Drugs

It was with a huge amount of humor that I read the latest Art Harris EXCLUSIVE , the title screams EXCLUSIVE: “Misty No Drug Dealer!” —Dad

This tabloid headline sounds great, you could put this one on the front page of the supermarket tabloids and make a killing. Obviously Misty Croslin does have some supporters, and we should not be surprised that her dad is one of them. Unfortunately dad, Hank Croslin Sr. is hardly in the position to pass judgment or comment over his daughter.

As TJ Hart reported for WSKY 97.3 Hank Croslin Sr. is himself accused of doctor shopping, (read article) and the drugs involved were Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. Hmm, that sounds a lot like the same drugs that his daughter Misty Croslin is accused of selling!

Is this an example of the family that stays together, gets high together?..

Haleigh Cummings And Others – BNN Radio Sun/Jan/31

We will be running our regular radio program on Sunday Jan 31 at 3pm central. The major focus will be the events in both the Haleigh Cummings and Caylee Anthony cases.

It has been a busy week in both cases. The Putnam County ‘Adams Family’ continues to take advantage of the ‘all expenses paid’ vacation that PCSO extended to them. But even behind bars they still manage to get into trouble. Tommy Croslin managed to rack up more ‘Frequent Felon’ points this week, adding to his growing list of problems is the whole deal with stealing the blind mans gun...

Haleigh Cummings Update – Radio Wrap Up For Jan/31

Well I think it would be fair to say that it was another lively program. Or regular panel of Simon and Jan Barrett, Denny Griffin, TJ Hart, and Levi Page were in action.

I have to admit that TJ was on top form, the subject of missing children is not a humorous one, however every case does have its humorous aspects. There has been a bit of an inside press joke going on for some months now concerning the use of the word ‘Exclusive’ by various news organizations and reporters in this case. Jacksonville.com ran a story this morning on the subject. I have to admit that when I read it I just about fell out of my chair laughing. So to anyone that was listening in, that was where TJ was coming from.

Much of todays discussion centered around the ‘Famous Five’ that are currently cooling their heels at the tax payers expense in various law enforcement locations. I had thought that once this merry band was behind bars with huge bond ammounts assigned the tactic by Law Enforcement would be to offer reduced charges or even immunity to whoever decided to talk. Clearly that is not the case. They seem to have gone in the opposite direction.

Ronald Cummings has been moved from his vacation home in Flagler County back to Putnam County and put in the ‘general population’ of the jail. This situation is likely not ideal for his peace of mind. It does not take much investigative shoe leather to realize that directly or indirectly the Haleigh Cummings disappearance has resulted in a number of people being incarcerated on drug charges. It would be hard to believe that many people in the Purnam facility are pleased with Ronald Cummings.

Misty Croslin’s brother Tommy is also finding himself in some ever deeper water. His ante had already been upped by being placed on a ‘no bond’ hold. Well now he finds that more charges are being placed against him. The theft of a gun from a neighbor. And my all time favorite, the theft of two bottles of Dawn liquid detergent! I will bet that LE had a good chuckle over this charge.

Donna Brock also finds herself in an untenable position. She faces a somewhat unusual court appearance to determin exactly who she is, what she owns, and where she lives. This is a wonderful opportunity for a serious fishing expedition.

Misty Croslin and Hope Sykes seemed to have dodged the bullet so far. One can speculate that LE feels that with Misty on almost a $1 million bond it is unlikely that she will be getting out of jail any time soon. Hope Sykes is a dark horse, it is possible that she was merely collateral damage in the drug sweep.

You can listen to the entire program here.

Putnam Drug Bust: Who Is Donna Brock?

Nearly two weeks ago, undercover officers arrested five people in Putnam County for trafficking controlled prescription medications. Most notably among the five are Ronald Cummings, the father of missing 6-year-old Satsuma girl HaLeigh Cummings, and his ex-wife Misty Croslin.


Three others arrested in the sting are Misty's brother Tommy Croslin, Ronald's cousin Hope Sykes and woman named Donna Brock.


Four of the five arrested in the sting are under the age of 30----Brock is in her mid-40's. The question is: who is she and what is her role in this escapade?


What we do know is that this is the same woman who was involved in assisting Texas EquuSeach and its director Tim Miller in befriending Misty Croslin this past summer in an effort to create an atmosphere of comfort to try to get he to tell all she knew of the night HaLeigh Cummings was taken from her home where Misty was babysitting her....

...Brock will also be the focus of a Nebbia Hearing which will hopefully answer many more questions as to who this woman really is and what her motives might be in this case.

[wind149]

I told you all that the flipping on each other was gonna start because they are all jonesing behind the walls, and I fell off my chair when it came out that the items that Tommy is alleged to have stolen was freaking DAWN DISH SOAP and SCOTCH BRITE SCRUB PADS? What in hell was he gonna do with those? Neither item is used to make drugs like cold medicine is and on NG, it was itemized down to the cost, $10 for the soap and $5 for the pads? Along with several bottles of booze and a Harry Potter DVD and a gun and that right there kids, besides the drugs is gonna get him some serious time!! And GEE?? Guess who flapped her lips? His own piece of trash sister!! I KNEW that they were gonna rat on whoever trying to barter to have their charges go away and SORREEr, you pile of losers!! When it comes to trafficking narcotics, this is one charge that will not go away. Now she might decide to finally tell all, but I guarantee, that these charges will stick because if LE just considered this a piddly offense, they would have let them bail out on a lower bond and they would be free as a bird. And interesting news from Art's camp. Apparently, Putnam is dangling names in front of that piece of trash and she as of tonight, has not bit, but give it time, some of her low life friends are gonna be strolling down the street to only be arrested for whatever.

Now this all really makes me think that little Haleigh is indeed dead. If she was still alive and Misty sold her to a trafficker or a dealer, she would have flipped ten minutes after being busted because as ignorant as she is, she KNOWS dealing narcotic pain killers on the streets are felonies and she sold more than the rest of the clan and she would try anything to get these charges to go away. I do not believe for a nano second that these scumbags know any real big fish in the world of drugs, just low level like themselves and these morons flip on each other every minute of every day, I personally have seen this happen. At first, when someone like this trash gets busted, they won't flip until the DA gives them a reality check and says, well you can go down for this, or you can tell us who the big big fish is, and they will flip every time.

This is what is gonna happen here, already, it has started, that sorry ass excuse for a human being flipped on her own brother just like I predicted and he is gonna counter attack and I am on pins and needles wondering if all along he has known. After all, Misty called him that night, I wonder if he went over there, not to check up on Misty per Ron's request, but to help his sister get rid of Haleigh's body. I am really working the overdose thing especially since NOW we all know that low life is indeed addicted to Oxy's and I am betting she had some that night because if you eat enough, you can get pretty buzzed and will appear vague, just like she was on the 911 call. If you give even a small dose to a child that weighed what 45 lbs, you would kill her and this was confirmed today by my own doctor. Even the 10mg, which is what I am on, would kill a child under 75 lbs and since I don't know the exact dosage they are addicted to and what they were busted with I can only guess..

80mg would be enough to kill me, but yet, I have seen a girl eat these like they were candy, needless to say, she is dead and died in Dec of an overdose of Oxy and heroin. So let the games begin and I can't wait for those jailhouse tapes to be revealed especially the "touching family scene" with Misty and her scum parents!! This ought to be good for a few laughs!!!! And they have to have known they were being recorded??? As I said to Art, for all their crap about how the media needs to focus on Haleigh, it hasn't been about her since the initial 911 call. it has been all about the low life Scummings and Croslin's and all their drama and it is getting beyond sickening!!! That inbred piece of tail needs to come clean NOW! The longer she doesn't, the more prison time she will get as people especially LE are butt tired of their games and their crap!!!

From road rage to Ratgate to their "nuptials"to the supposed divorce and speaking of which, Art advises he has good faith knowledge regarding their relationship. According to this reliable source, they never did stop seeing each other and the divorce just like I said, was nothing more than a smoke screen, they were together the night which was only a couple weeks ago, when they got into a road rage incident with some guy and that stupid, ignorant Misty refuses to give the 911 operator her name and their version of what happened is pure bunk, I believe the other guy for sure!!! So as Art said, in his prediction, he thinks that soon, he feels the truth will come out and wouldn't that be ironic of Misty comes clean on 2/9??? And IF Ron has never known and people have all kinds of mixed emotions about that, and she cops to what she did, good thing for her that Ron is locked up because I do believe he would make good on his threats to kill whoever harmed his child and she already has seen and felt his wrath, she is safer in jail than she ever was on the streets.

EXCLUSIVE: Misty Croslin Balked at Babysitting Haleigh!

The Bald Truth has learned exclusive new details about Misty Croslin’s behaviour the night she reported her boyfriend’s five year old daughter missing from their trailer in Satsuma, Florida almost a year ago—that she had balked at babysitting Haleigh Cummings, and her little brother, JR, complaining she was just too exhausted after a three day binge of drugs and sex with party pals.

“She told me, ‘I didn’t want to even watch the kids that night because I was too tired from partying that weekend,’” her sister in law, Lindsay, told me in an exclusive interview Tuesday night that I broke on CNN HLN’s Nancy Grace Show...

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- Jailhouse surveillance video released Wednesday by the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office shows a tearful Misty Cummings talking with her mother via video conferencing.

Cummings, the last person to see missing 6-year-old Haleigh Cummings when she disappeared a year ago, is being held in the St Johns County jail on drug trafficking charges on $950,000 bond.

"Mom, I want out of here. I want out so bad," Misty said while crying. "Man, I miss you guys. I'm stuck in this one little cell the whole time. They won't let me do anything."...

Haleigh Update: Father and Ex-Step Mom Face More Charges

Additional charges and raised bail amounts to two of the 5 arrested in Putnam County in January in a drug trafficking sting.

On February 3, 2010, arrest warrants were issued for the arrest of Ronald Lemyles Cummings and Misty Janette Croslin, according to the Putnam County Sheriff's office. These warrants were issued because of drug charges stemming from the purchase of prescription medication from undercover investigators at the time of their arrest on January 20, 2010.

Officials with the Putnam County Sheriff's office state these charges were not previously filed as the arrests on that date were made on warrants that were based upon prior undercover purchases. They added that the issuance of the warrants today and the filing of the additional charges are a follow-up to the operation which led to the original arrests.

Cummings was served this afternoon (2-3-2010) at the Putnam County Jail. Croslin is currently being housed at the St Johns County Jail, her warrant will be held until such time as she is next returned to Putnam County.

The following list details the additional charges and bonds for the subjects involved in this case:

Misty Janette Croslin, DOB: 12/09/1991 –
Two (2) Counts of trafficking in Prescription Medications (Additional Bond – $400,000.00) (Total Bond - $1,350,000)

Ronald Lemyles Cummings, DOB: 10/29/1983 –
Two (2) Counts of Trafficking in Prescription Medications (Additional Bond – $400,000.00) (Total Bond - $900,000)

News Talk 97.3 The SKY has been told that investigators assigned to the Haleigh Cummings investigation will take every available opportunity to speak with any individual believed to have knowledge about Haleigh Cummings’ disappearance.

Thanks for the links loretta. I sure hope this pressure on these two leads to some answers as to Haleigh's whereabouts. I remember hearing/reading Tommy's wife state she had no knowlege of drugs period. Yet in the tape she states to Tommy "I told you not to go"

I'm hoping it can be answered by Ms. Nancy-I'm sure they can enhance what Misty is saying that we cant hear when talking with Dad. Some real insight to these folks :shrug:

If Misty has something to spill I dont think she will be long-she's a mess ;)

Wish we could hear her better, but it must be driving her crazy judging by Hank's comments. Glad to see that he at least acknowledges that their lives have gone to hell, but it's a little ironic to hear him warning her about the pills. I mean, doesn't he take a bunch O'pills himself? Isn't he going to court for doc shopping?

New Drug Charges to be Filed Against Cummings, Croslin

PALAKTA, Fla. -- New drug-related charges are about to be issued against Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.

The two, the father of Haleigh Cummings, the girl who disappeared from her Satsuma home nearly a year ago, and his ex-wife were among five people arrested last month on drug charges.

Ronald Cummings, his ex-wife Misty Croslin, her brother, and two others were arrested and jailed in January to face charges of trafficking in prescription medications.

The arrests happened more than 11 months after the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings, Ronald's daughter, who was in the care of Misty Croslin when she disappeared.

Haleigh, 5 years old at the time of her disappearance, vanished sometime after Croslin said she put the girl to bed at the couple's home in Satsuma.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said its investigation began when a "source" told authorities information.

Investigators say a total of seven buys took place, all involving the drugs Hydrocodone and Oxycodone.

Authorities arrested five people in all. Hope Sykes, a cousin of Ronald Cummings, is among them, along with Donna Broch of Orlando.

Misty Croslin faces six counts of trafficking in prescription medications. She's being held on a $950,000 bond at the St. Johns County Detention Center, according to law enforcement.

Currently, Ronald Cummings faces three counts of trafficking in prescription medications. He is being held on a $500,000 bond at the Putnam County Jail.

Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr. faces one count of trafficking in prescription medications. He's being held on a $100,000 bond at the St. Johns County Detention Center.

Normally i woulda chuckled at Misty and Mom trying to figure out the bail percentiles. I couldn't it was just so dang sad :shrug: Wait till Misty finds out that her bail has ^ with the 2 new charges :eek: Someone will have to explain that when bail goes up so does the 10 % and they will have to re-cypher that :D Oh goody I see from my last comment I'm back to myself again ;) whew.

SKY Investigates: Inside the PCSO "Haleigh Room"

The search for a missing Satsuma, FL has been underway for nearly a year. So far, no sign of the girl, but plenty of tips, interviews and evidence have been processed.

Haleigh Cummings was last seen at her residence in the Hermit's Cove area of Putnam County near Satsuma, FL on February 9, 2009 between the hours of 8-10pm. The last person to see Haleigh was Misty Croslin. Her statements to police have been described as inconsistent and conlicts with some of the evidence.

After that, Putnam County Sheriff's Office investigators have been holding what they know close to the vest.

For the first time, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office has allowed cameras to enter the working area known and the Haleigh Room where the volumes of interviews and other evidence is kept...

...News Talk 97.3 The Sky is scheduled to have an off-air converastion with Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy Wednesday.

Details coming soon on 97.3 The Sky.

Was Hank tweaking? He sure was fidgety.

They are sad. They seem to genuinely care for each other, but take all the fun out of dysfunctional. Like Hankie pointing out that other people live in the house so LE won't be able to stick him with the B&E. (Of course it's hard to ignore that it was Misty who pointed LE in his direction.)

Haleigh Cummings – Inside The PCSO’s Inner Sanctum

...It didn’t take more than a couple of minutes to get the story and pictures published. TJ had made an interesting comment though, while the PCSO had indeed let him look into the heart of the investigation they had kept him far way from being able to read the charts on the wall.

My mind went into overdrive. Todays modern digital camera’s are far superior than the human eye. Maybe I could enhance the image with some of my software. Alas that ploy did not work, the images had been compressed for use online.

I do not give up easily though. The uncompressed images were what were needed….

Anyone that acusses the PCSO of not being a formidable and detail oriented group should think again!

The pictures were not taken by TJ, but were taken by a member of the team searching for Haleigh. TJ received the compressed versions rather than the originals. Now that is what I call attention to detail!...

LOL some of the comments left on FB....

O..M..G!!!

LEAVE HER!

oh, cobra. what gives?

You're kidding me, right?

some people have **** for brains!!!!

Hopefully there is a condition...like an agreement the little bitty will talk. However, she will say whatever it takes to get her arse bailed out. Perhaps he will be able to withdraw bail, if she goes back on her word (which is a given!)?
WTH is he thinking?? O...M...G!!!

[beemer]

He just kept swiveling in that chair and leaning forward and back. Ants in the pants.

Yes those certainly were observable. His speech got garbled at times too which made me wonder if he was high. Now some of these folks have gotta be hurting big time right about now. Even if they were not hard core oxy user's they will be feeling it by now. LE has them right were they want/need them right now and somebody is going to say something sooner or later. Let's hope it's sooner. None of them strike me as sociopaths but folks who are poor,uneducated and have made really lousy choices in life. As for those involved with Haleigh's disappearance i guess I'll reserve judgement until the facts come out. My brain and my heart tell me different when it comes to Ronald. Not that i wouldn't be surprised if Misty had a hand in this in either her murder or the cover-up-or both. She knows something. Right now and for a long time now my brain just tells me that Ron isn't the nice guy as Ms. Nancy would like to believe and he is a controlling,abusive,pedophile. If Misty did it she is so dysfunctional herself and could not care for herself much less children. Add the drugs and partying and of course a bad outcome for someone. Poor Haleigh. Not that i excuse Misty in any way. This was a train wreck waiting to happen :rose:

[beemer]

So is that for sure Snoop? I know we head rumblings of it a bit ago :confused: I wonder if that still stands since the bond has gone up today? She needs to be left there :cuss:

Do any of yous recall any detail on that? I am so glad this story is back in the news as i often popped in praying and hoping to no avail. thanks to all and especially loretta for always keeping this case in the forefront :rose: little Haleigh has friends here she never knew.

Still laffin that Misty thinks 10% of $50,000 = $10,000

[beemer]

Still laffin that Misty thinks 10% of $50,000 = $10,000

Ya and Mom didn't do much better. As i said earlier more cyphering to be done with the increase in bond. Are Misty's parents together? just curious.

[lorettalockhorn]

Man, I hope Cobra doesn't take part in helping Misty get out of the pokey, can't he see that she's already cracking? That's she's digging craters in her face she's in such bad shape?

I truly believe that between Ron&Misty they know what happened to Haleigh, and since I don't believe in coincidences, I don't think it was a matter of someone just happening to show up at the trailer while Misty was zonked out and grabbing Haleigh to give her a better life.

Ron is truly a creep, and I don't know if isolation in PC is the same as solitary confinement, but me thinks we're not the only ones who consider him to be a serial pedophile. His comment about only having two women tattooed on his body made me ill, just the thought that he calls Haleigh a woman. Pig.

[lorettalockhorn]

Ya and Mom didn't do much better. As i said earlier more cyphering to be done with the increase in bond. Are Misty's parents together? just curious.

As far as I know, Hank&Lisa are still together, he mentioned that since Lindsey is moving to Palm Something, they have to find a new place. (And some wheels; unemployment is running out.)

[lorettalockhorn]

Way behind watching NG, but Art Harris told her that Lenny P has apparently contacted Misty's attorney about bailing her out. :rolleyes:

[lorettalockhorn]

In the transcript of the Misty convo with her dad when he asks her how many times she sold, she says eight or nine. So she might have even more charges.

So glad to hear Mark Klaas mentioning Ron's predilection for young girls.

Confirmed: Leonard Padilla WILL bond Misty out of jail if she agrees with his terms.

Yeah, Padilla, that worked so well with CMA.

Exclusive: Sheriff Jeff Hardy Talks—-Misty Is Key, But No One Ruled Out In Haleigh Cummings Case!

In an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth Wednesday, Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy said his investigators are still reviewing the jailhouse tapes between Misty Croslin and her family that were released to the media Wednesday–and that I’ll be discussing on The Nancy Grace Show tonight at 8 and 10 p.m. est.

Sheriff Hardy said they are looking for anything in those conversations that might click with other information investigators have surrounding the disappearance of the five year old girl babysitter Misty Croslin she reported missing last Feb. 10.

But Hardy warned against “tunnel vision,” and said no one has been ruled out in the massive effort to find Haleigh Cummings or learn what happened to her, in our wide-ranging 30 minute interview. “Everyone keeps saying, ‘Misty, Misty,’ but we’re not just focusing on the one person who is being reported on,” he told me...

Reporter's Notes: Conversation with Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy

As the new charges were being handed down and the amounts increased for Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin Wednesday, Frebruary 3, 2010, I spoke on the telephone with Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy and asked him about the drug trafficking case involving Ron and Misty, the Haleigh Cummings case, some jail escapes and matters of safety pertaining to the jail.


TJ: Good afternoon, Sheriff Hardy. Thank you for taking time out of your day to speak with me.

JH: Not a problem.

TJ: First year as a Sheriff...a lot of challenges including the disapperance of Haleigh Cummings. Any light at the end of the tunnel as far as a resolution in this investigation.

JH: This is an ongoing investigation.

TJ: Are we still looking for a live child? Some have stated that the Putnam County Sheriff's Office is looking for either a live child or possibly a dead child, but prefers to think the child is alive.

JH: Don't you want us to find a live child?

TJ: Yes! Who wouldn't?

JH: I believe we are looking for a live child, but we--like the families--are prepared to for a real possibility that she might not be alive.

TJ: Where is Ronald Cummings being held in the Putnam County Jail?

JH: He is in solitary confinement.

TJ: What is it like? All I know about solitary is what I've seen in those old prison movies from the 1940's.

JH: He has a small cot and a toilet.

TJ: A cot and a pot?

JH: You could say that.

TJ: How has this case affected your detectives and other deputies working the case?

JH: It has been very intense. Some of our officers have had to be pulled off the case from time-to-time due to exhaustion. Losing this child has been like losing one of our own children...

If LP does bail her out i guess our only hope is she will talk if that's one of the conditions. I'm leaning toward Misty just being young,scared, drug hazed and influenced under Ron's abusive rule as opposed to a sociopath.

[lorettalockhorn]

Social Responsibility & Haleigh Cummings

Some thoughts that come to mind when I think about Haleigh Cummings and Caylee Anthony and other children that have gone missing - and robbed of life;


THE WORLD THAT HALEIGH CUMMINGS WAS BORN INTO


The convolution to sort through over a simple single event of a child gone missing – is mind boggling, when it would only take one person to just come forward with the truth.

The lengths that people connected to this case have gone to obscure and cloud the discovery of Haleigh is a shining example of just how damaging drug abuse is to an innocent child born in its’ midst.

It is the core cause of this case from the beginning and I firmly believe that society as a whole has a social responsibility to these innocent children, not only to report drug addicted parents to the authorities, but a greater responsibility for the judges who oversee and administer the law to ensure that these unfit drug addicts “parents” lose their right to “raise” and “influence” their offspring and are additionally prevented from bringing any more children into the world and continuing this cycle of abuse...

Way behind watching NG, but Art Harris told her that Lenny P has apparently contacted Misty's attorney about bailing her out. :rolleyes:

Does that mean he thinks he will have greater success @ getting a confession from an 18 y/o than a 22 y/o? Didn't he learn his lesson w/Casey Anthony that all she wants is to get bailed out of jail, and if he does this, she will in all likelihood bail out on him?

So, it may be LP who is bailingher out, or it might be Cobra? Wonder if the 2 are in cahoots? Nah--both have egos that seem a little too much to work together, and have to share the glory.

[wind149]

Oh yeah, ole Lenny did a bang up job trying to get Casey to spill her guts, hell, he is still waiting on that one! What is he thinking to want to bail this loser broad? I just listened to her whining to Mama and Daddy and she is more ignorant than I gave her credit for ! She does not seem to GET that she is in deep s!it!!! And now with her bail a cool million plus, no bondsman worth their salt would bond this scumbag b!tch, she would bolt first chance she got!!! And she and Mama can't even figure out what 10% of $50,000? AH DUH? and I am so pleased, I yelled with sheer pleasure that her bond is even higher today, they are out to hang this broad!!! And how in hell would Colbra have that kind of dough? Bondsman are backed by insurance companies, that is why they can post high bails, and if the person skips and the bounty hunters are unable to find them, like they booked to Sri Lanka, then the court forfeits the money and the insurance company would be out their money too and the bondsman could be out of business as the original insurance company will no longer provide the money and word gets around, and the bondsman will not be able to find another backer and the skip? You think they give a rat's ass?

Misty would be in the wind as fast as you can say Oxy!!! All she did was whine about herself and she does not KNOW why she is in the slammer? Apparently, to her, selling narcotic painkillers ain't no big deal, she was trying to make a living right? A caller on NG last night when she learned the value of the pills said, "why didn't they take that $3,000 they made and toss in the reward pot? Ya wanna know why? Because NONE OF THESE LOSERS GIVE ONE CRAP ABOUT HALEIGH! All along it has been all about them. Ron's daughter ain't even been gone on a month and he marries this scumbag piece of jailbait ass and they are living in wedded bliss and the only time they appear to be "distraught" is when the camera is on them, especially Ron and his theatrics!! He must have studied method acting in another life!!! Oh I am listening to Misty whining to Mama, "I want out of here" "Get me out of here" And Mama? "Oh baby, we are working on it, Art Harris is trying to help you" Don't hold your breath you morons! As for Padilla, I hope to hell he decides NOT to post her bail, I want her skank ass behind bars, I enjoy watching her whine and snivel!!! He won't learn anymore out of her sorry ass then he did Casey!!!

Now if he does, then WE ALL WILL KNOW he is doing for publicity as he does dig that camera!! And I have a tad of respect for him, but if he bails that skank out, then I will think of him as a complete tool!! I defended him here on these boards and to other folks when he decided to bail Casey out, because I (stupidly) thought like he did, that maybe she would come clean if she was out of the slammer and that bombed in his face when she was charged with the check thefts??? Then he knew just exactly what she is, a cold, calculating, lying, don't give a s!it about anyone but herself loser and Thank God he BAILED ON HER!!! I have a feeling that ole honey pie is gonna be locked up for a long time and if she does go into gen pop, she will be hated and possibly a target as inmates already hate her as well they should, Casey would likely be killed by a lifer if she were to get LWPOP as SHE IS HATED!! And Tommy, wisely, he has chosen to remain on solitary as he ain't well liked to begin with and since he is her brother, he would be a target as well as inmates will think like me, that HE KNOWS where Haleigh's body is as I think he helped Misty dispose of it! He did not go to that trailer that night per Ron's request, she called him four times that night, and the cell records back that up.

And a revelation today. She had just come off that weekend of sex, drugs, and rock and roll with Nay and White Boy and she DID NOT want to deal with the kids that night, she was coming off her high and just wanted to crash. Now I think Jr probably would go out for the night, but Haleigh, with her health issues and the fact that she could be a handful at times, the nature of her illness dictates that, that she probably did not want to go to bed and I truly think skank gave her an Oxy to knock her out and she dies. Now in a panic, Misty calls Tommy and he rushes over and somehow, some way, they dispose of her body, the dumpster still remains on the top of my list or they drove out to some bayou and dropped her in and she became gator bait. Now both of them sit behind bars tonight trying to figure out how they can weasel themselves out of the world of s!it they are in. They are in deep deep, they both face major time on the trafficking of narcotics and they share that secret of where Haleigh lies.

So who do you all think will flip first? I think Tommy will, as I don't think he had a hand in killing Haleigh and all I think he could be charged with is the illegal disposal of a corpse and obstruction of justice for not coming clean. Had Misty came clean that night and admitted to overdosing the child with death resulting, she probably would have been charged with involuntary manslaughter as it was not intent of malice, but now, it is FIRST DEGREE BABY!! And the reason she did not do that, is she was raised to cover her ass, lie like hell, and rat on anyone to get yourself out of trouble and she is/was deathly afraid of Ron and I suppose in her ignorant, immature mind, she is/was in love with that loser. To her, he was the catch of Deliverance! That double wide must have been a castle to her as I got a gander at what passes for a shack Mama and Daddy live in and she herself admitted that many times, they were homeless, living in cars and tents and that is because her low life parents thought more of their habits than their spawn. And STILL DO!!! Sterilization should still be on the books!!!

As for Colbra, I don't hold much stock for him, he is a fly by night bondsman wanna be. There is no way in hell and who knows if he does have a legit backer, that he can bail skank's sorry ass out. As for Padilla, I hope he comes to his senses and decides to not bail her out. The DA clearly, wants her ass bad and while he is intent on sending them all to the slammer on the drug charges, he really wants her locked up, that is evident in the fact he requested the judge to up the ante, he figures that there is no way that she or anyone could even come up with 10%, only a bona fide bondsman like Dog would have the money and he ain't about to bail this skank out, he loves children very much and just the mere thought that she did away with Haleigh would make him and Beth puke! Beth would probably kick her ass!! So I don't think that she will get anytime soon, unless Padilla wants his camera fix.

Is it just me, or are there a couple of times in that convo when it looks like he is giving her some sort of signal or shushing her or something? I'll have to steel myself for watching again and seeing him twitch for twenty minutes.

Misty Croslin's father's advice: 'Don't lie about nothing'
Dad also tells teenage daughter she shouldn't have married Haleigh Cummings' father

Yep! Well doesn't every father who trusts his kids to a teen, marry them when one of their children goes missing while in her care? Hmmm? That was a clinically insane move. Some smart PR person gave good advice when they offered it telling him to divorce her.

Now Daddy knows what happened to Haleigh and so does Misty. I guess he figures she doesn't have to protect the abductor anymore since she's safe behind bars. How long will it take her to sing? Perhaps she will when she finds out she isn't going to see daylight anytime soon. :shrug:

[Nawny]

Does that mean he thinks he will have greater success @ getting a confession from an 18 y/o than a 22 y/o? Didn't he learn his lesson w/Casey Anthony that all she wants is to get bailed out of jail, and if he does this, she will in all likelihood bail out on him?

So, it may be LP who is bailingher out, or it might be Cobra? Wonder if the 2 are in cahoots? Nah--both have egos that seem a little too much to work together, and have to share the glory.

ITA. But, but, poor Leonard didn't know CA was a socio. If she wasn't she'd have hung herself in her cell by now. Misty on the other hand is simply a child. I don't believe she hurt Haleigh, but she's going to have to turn the monster in who did when the threat to her safety is removed. And when she has nothing to lose, like her POS father told her. Misty IMO is the polar opposite of skanky. She's the most fragile of victims I've ever seen. Her life was on the line while she was free.. Someone wanted her silence and I'm thinking it was Ron. I mean he married her for a reason aye?


Oh well, the party is over, the good times are gone. Such is life in Ron-ville.
boo effin hoo.

Haleigh Cummings update: Misty Croslin jailhouse tapes released

Misty Croslin appears to be buckling under the pressure of life behind bars as evidenced by newly released jailhouse tapes. From the time Haleigh Cummings disappeared on Feb. 9, 2009, until now, Misty Croslin has not been able to keep her story straight regarding Haleigh Cummings’ disappearance. Authorities have stated that Misty Croslin holds the key to Haleigh’s disappearance and they have vowed to question her during her time in jail...

Um, Leonard, don't you think that idea is half-baked?

And DON'T try to tell me it's completely baked. Stud/boyfriend/hubby/sugar daddy was giving it to Misty regular and she didn't tell him squat, no way she's going to tell an old geezer what she knows. Or is she going to be more impressed with your RV than she was with a tied down trailer? I mean, you're going to have to give her a place to live since Lindsey is breaking her plate. And if your plan wasn't harebrained, you'd do just as well to bond Ronnie out and learn just what he knows.

Haleigh Cummings – Jail House Tapes Update

I have just talked with TJ Hart of WSKY 97.3, as I write this article he is sitting in the St. Augustine police complex waiting for them to burn the Jail house tapes onto DVD. The 4 minute clip that aired on Nancy Grace last night (in what seemed like an endless loop) was in fact the only clip that had been released.

It is our intention to get the entire contents uploaded to our FTP site and have clips available by mid afternoon today.

At 1pm Friday Feb/5 eastern TJ Hart and I will be running a special update on the Haleigh Cummings case. By this time both of us will have been able to go through the five hours of recordings. If the 4 minutes of tape that was released yesterday is anything to go by, I suspect that we will have a great deal to talk about...

Links to phone calls

http://www.thesky973.com/pages/6288494.php

Thanks for the link, just about finished listening and these calls are both banal and bittersweet. Ron's clean drawers. Ron trading candy for a pencil sharpening. (There's got to be some sort of freudian meaning to that!) How much everyone loves everyone else and how often they say so. Misty asking the same Qs over and over. Misty thinking that she and Donna are looking at 21 years. How much money Tim&Chelsea are willing to pay for phone calls and commissary privileges. GGMS worried about what The Snitch might overhear.

Wait. That last one is actually interesting, eh?

Could anyone hear who Misty asked about that Timmy told her he didn't want to discuss on the bugged phone?

[lorettalockhorn]

Interesting too that Timmy thinks the PO PO should go after the suppliers and Misty agrees. Well okay then. Just cough up some names, girl! I mean, you don't mind ratting out your family and they don't mind casting suspicion over the entire household, so why not give us Mr. Big? Or at least Mr. Middleman.

Working with worker's comp, I know where a lot of those pills come from. Specially the pin killers. ronnineboy just might be the middle man. They don't always show what they make. Sometimes they are their own best customers.

[lorettalockhorn]

Well, I can't help but think that if Ron nor Misty can give LE any useful information, it's the same information that they're holding back. And it's not good. As in precious little dealing could be made in exchange for it. I think Haleigh's dead and they know it and they know who, what, when, where, why, and how.

[BeastofBears]

Wow. I can't believe the things they are saying on these jail house tapes. I mean, they are talking about the details of what happened and then telling her that they won't "get" her on anything? But, you just gave them anything they didn't already have. If Haleigh wasn't missing, I would actually feel sorry for Misty at least...but Haleigh IS still missing.

[beemer]

I just got in and have yet to hear all of the tapes i left ya's with. Off i go to listen and then I'll pop back in. From some of your posts i just read it really has me curious. With the lives these folks lead one would think their street smarts would override their stupidity. Sounds like stupid wins :shrug:

[wind149]

It is finally sinking in a tad that she might very well be in prison for many years and it goes to show you how little she cares about anyone else, asking her elderly granny for $10,000 towards her bail and even when granny tells her that she has no money to even pay her house note as she let Daddy borrow money he probably will never give back to her either and yet without missing a beat, she still tries to con granny into sending her money and put phone time on her card. Interesting to note, granny was/ is well aware of what she was doing? If, so, why did she not find a way to stop her? It is fine and dandy with Mommy and Daddy, they probably were benefactors of the narcotics themselves seeing as they are addicts too and it sounds like Daddy is running out of unemployment bennies and he said something like they have to get out of where they are living now? Probably did not pay one cent towards the rent, this type always lives in many places.

They get kicked out and because they have kids, some bleeding heart agency will hook them up with security and rent payments and they move in and the landlord wants them gone the following month as they will not pay him, their habits are more important. What I can't understand is how they were able to keep their kids, surely, welfare would have been made aware that they are horrible parents and complete low life's??? I have seen people get their kids taken away for swearing at them and that was all they did and had a hell of a time getting them back because some tree hugger was totally convinced they were abusing the kids and they weren't. Dad had lost his temper and said, "God Dammit, get your ass in this house now" and a half hour after he said this, sound carries in a trailer park, CPS was beating on the door and these folks are good people, who doesn't get upset at a kid that won't mind? And this trash here raised their kids to BREAK LAWS NOT OBEY THEM and to steal, cheat and rob, go ahead and sell some Oxy's honey, but don't forget about your Mama and Daddy, make sure you hook us up!!! And a TH said on NG what I have been saying since the bust. Misty is jonesing hard, she wants out so she can go get an Oxy and I burst out laughing when she says that when she gets out, she is gonna go straight, get her GED and then a job? YEAH RIGHT!!! If she had not been busted, she would be at a truck stop right now hawking Oxy's to the truckers!!! She has had no intention of ever working, and I am truly surprised she did not get knocked up way before she met Ron, she lost her cherry at probably age 11.

And Padilla is a TOOL!! He wants Misty to fess up and then he will bail her out? Now the only way I see her doing that is if she did sell Haleigh to a trafficker, then all she would be charged with there is human trafficking as opposed to murder and seeing as she has not confessed to doing that, I seriously doubt that is what went down. And Tommy is deeply involved in this too. I truly do feel he helped her dispose of Haleigh's corpse and both of them like I said share that secret, where is this little baby? Art said on NG that LE did search all the dumpsters in that area, but if they were emptied the next day after she went gone, that means that they were not searched as at that time, they were searching for what they believed to be a live child. But we are talking FL here, swamps loaded with gators and other predators, when that Value Jet went down in the Keys, a lot of the bodies were never recovered as it was deep swamp and a lot of the parts of the plane as well were never recovered as divers were hampered by gators and deep mud, almost like quick sand and if one were to place a small child in a swamp, you would never find anything.

Now what do you all think she meant when she says she will tell LE SOME THINGS? I suspect she is gonna rat on some people, probably some of her own low life friends, selling dope, their bodies, or they have been robbing, stealing, identity theft, she will, as I have predicted will sing like hell, but it will be to no avail, unless there is a cartel they are not aware of bringing in millions of dollars of heroin and coke, or someone just made a major heist, like stealing diamonds from Donald Trump, nothing she will say is gonna help her sorry ass, the only way she could ever get out of prison still relatively young, is if she admits to what she did with Haleigh. But she is too stupid to see this, she is only thinking right now, that she wants OUT! And that is her only focus and she might very well screw herself there. What happens if she goes to gen pop and lo and behold, there is "Bobbie Sue Hawkins" who she just ratted out for selling dope?

She is backed into a corner I don't see her leaving for a long time and I have nothing but contempt for her, as I understand, some bleeders feel sorry for her and she had a choice, no one was making her sell drugs, she was greedy and has an addiction and I am tired of people using that as an excuse for their actions. YOU CAN OVERCOME ADDICTION! Whereas, babyrapers can't stop their compulsion, alcoholics and addicts can turn their lives around. Jane will the first to tell you she is an alcoholic and look where she is today. On a top rated cable news show and she is fantastic! I have had friends overcome addictions, so I know it can be done. And then you get these whiners, who blame everyone and everything but themselves when they get into a jam and it is like "Well I wouldn't have beat my old lady if I hadn't been drinking" "Or I don't remember hitting the little boy, I musta blacked out from alcohol" Total cop-outs!! So right now, Misty is blaming everyone else, she is pissed off that she is only allowed out of her cell for two hours a day, she claims they don't feed her enough and WTF! This ain't the Ritz you loser skank!!

She is blaming the undercover cop big time, what did she say, something like he had no right to set her up and video tape it all??? And she is not going to get it anytime soon because she is in deep denial about what she has done. I wonder if when she is alone with her thoughts, how much she is trying to figure out a way to diminish what she did to Haleigh that night? I am betting that she is gonna claim that she still don't remember NUTTIN and that IF SHE DID do something to Haleigh, that she must have been in a drug black out so therefore she is not responsible? And she should be able to just waltz out of the jail? This is what she is thinking, I am convinced and I think when it is all said and done, she will not be getting out of prison ever again, she will be cell mates with Casey.

I agree at that point as well. If Misty doesn't crack and both she and Ron remain quiet that in itself will be very telling. Misty isn't going to talk if it means a murder charge added even if they bargained to drop the drug charges. The fact that Ron hasn't even tried to throw Misty under the bus speaks volumes to his involvement. I guess time will tell.

[lorettalockhorn]

Did i hear right? Did Ron say he couldn't get the soap out of his armpits :eek: My gawd :cuss: No query as to how junior was :flamemad:

He told GGMS that one of the letters he wrote was to Crystal. Is that the sister or the Ex? I figured if it was Sheffied, he was going to send a message to Junior or ask about him, but who knows. :shug: He seems more concerned about his draws. :shrug:

That chains thing puzzled me; I've looked for slang definitions and all I could come up with has something to do with an IPOD/MP3 player. :shrug: Didn't he make a comment after GGMS told him no chains allowed about watching the soaps? :shrug:

That's why Leonard's deal makes no sense to me. If he makes good on his promise to bail her out and there are new charges for neglect or worse, she's still in the pokey. :shrug:

Whole lotta :shrug:ing goin' on.

http://www.ocala.com/article/20100205/ARTICLES/2051007/1402/NEWS?p=1&tc=pg

They think they are going to prison. Well, let's hope it's more than just their "thinking" and that Putnam CO and the other counties involved follow thru. I'm surprised that Ron isn't thinking that he would avoid charges and convictions just like he did for the long string of drug related arrests in the past. Unless someone in authority has informed him it's a whole new ballgame (isn't there a new sheriff--since his previous arrests?) Altho I'm betting there are plenty as bad and worse than these 5 folks in Putnam and surrounding counties that should go down, too.

I think Padilla should keep his nose to the grindstone in bounty hunting work. It's not like he has to track Misty down, you know. She's already in custody. He sure didn't fare well when he tried this w/Casey Anthony. And, as has been pointed out, exactly where would she go, if she was bonded out? I'm thinking Teresa and GGMS aren't going to welcome her to their home, and it seems her blood relatives have all had to move out, move away. Maybe her friend Nae-Nae or that other gal (can't remember her name, in jail as often and with Nae-Nae it seems) would let her room w/them? Yeah, that would work. Then LP could question all of them @ the same time, or @ least not have to go to different locations to do so. :D

[beemer]

Yeah and one thing that suprised me as well Amy was how calm Ron was about going to prison. Maybe he is looking at the fact he wont have to look for an honest living,care for a child,worry about meals and a roof over his head. He's gotta be caring tho bout no more drugs-well as easily obtained anyway and no more trolling for under age girls or strippers ;)

I couldn't agree more. Great article. I see the ravages all the time; it is heart breaking. I don't even like to discuss it; I am so, so upset. My heart breaks for the kids and I only do HV once in a while because I am so sick of seeing kids so neglected, abused, etc. with drug parents. We get the kids out, and the jerks just have another kid. Bad cycle for sure

Family To Hold Prayer Vigil For Haleigh Cummings

Anniversary Of Girl's Disappearance Nearing

SATSUMA, Fla. -- The family of Haleigh Cummings, the Satsuma girl who went missing nearly a year ago, will hold a Hope For Haleigh Prayer Vigil this weekend.

Cummings' mother, Crystal Sheffield, and her grandmother, Marie Griffis, said the vigil is open for anyone who would like to pray for the girl's safe return.

Sheffield and Griffis also invited any families with missing loved ones to attend. They are asked to bring pictures of their loved one, along with any information about their disappearance to promote awareness.

The vigil will be held at Celebration Park on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.

Haleigh disappeared from her home in Satsuma, about 75 miles east of Gainesville, on Feb. 10, 2009. The 6-year-old stands 3 feet tall and weighs 39 pounds. She has blond hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Putnam County Sheriff's Office at 386-329-0808 or Crime Stoppers at 888-277-TIPS.

The FBI Missing Person page for Haleigh is available at http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/kidnap/cummings_h.htm. A reward is available for information leading to her recovery or the conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance. Callers may remain anonymous.

[lorettalockhorn]

Report: Vigil for Haleigh Cummings set for Saturday

Haleigh Cummings' family will hold a vigil this weekend as a milestone approaches — the

one-year anniversary of the Putnam County girl's disappearance, a Web site is reporting.

The Hope For Haleigh Prayer Vigil will be at 5:30 p.m. at Celebration Park, WESH.com is reporting.

The girl vanished from her father's trailer in the rural community of Satsuma, about 80 miles north of Orlando, while her father's girlfriend, Misty Croslin, was baby sitting.

Her father, Ronald Cummings, was working.

Haleigh, then 5, was last seen by Croslin at about 10 p.m. Feb. 9, 2009. Croslin, now 18, told investigators that she woke up about 3:30 a.m. Feb. 10, 2009 and found that the girl was missing from the bed where she had been sleeping with her younger brother and Croslin.

Authorities think Croslin has not told everything she knows about what happened that night. But no one has been charged in the girl's disappearance.

Both Croslin and Cummings are in different jails on drug-trafficking charges.

Haleigh Cummings Update – A One On One With WSKY 97.3 TJ Hart

So much has unfolded in the seach for Haleigh Cummings in the past 73 hours that TJ and I decided to run another of our occasional one on one sessions.

When it comes to press coverage of the Haleigh Cummings case there is no doubt in my mind that TJ Hart is the ‘go to’ guy. As opposed to many other people reporting on this case TJ has stuck with the story through thick and thin...

...The recordings are interesting, but there is a good chance that some even better ones are going to be available later today. A courier has the Tommy Croslin tapes and is on the road right now. Our plan is to have them available online as soon as we can.

The Donna Brock tapes are scheduled for a Monday or Tuesday release. You can bet that we will be working hard to get these online as soon as we have them...

More of Misty's whine fest on NG, and some viewers brought up some interesting points about her. She claims to want to talk to Cobra as she has some info for him? I think it is only to rat on people, and she knows he knows all the low life's too and there is no way in hell an insurance backer is gonna let him bond that skank out as she would be a major flight risk. Have not heard anything today out of ole Lenny, he would be even more crazy for wanting to bind her out than with Casey, he should have learned his lesson there and stop trying to garner publicity for himself as he does dig that camera way too much. I know Dog and Beth would not touch her with a ten foot pole as they love children very much, they have 11 between them plus two that died and several grandchildren and I can hear Beth now if she were to be asked if she would bond her out. She would not mince words, that I can tell you firsthand!!! And ole honey, still does not get that her bail is over a million dollars and 10% of that is $100,000 and she thinks she only needs $9,500 and wants her brother Timmy to cough up his income tax refund and there is no way he is gonna get that much and as for the rest of her scum family, they don't have a pot to piss in, sounds like they are getting evicted from where they live and granny lives in a crummy trailer on SSI so the only way she could get out is if a bondsman was willing to take a chance and none in FL want to even touch that!!

And did you all hear Ron blathering on about his freaking boxers?? The asswipe is facing decades behind bars and he is whining about his shorts??? I don't think HE GETS IT EITHER! The DA is out for blood here, there will be no probation sentences handed down this time to this scumbag and his skank wifey and I assume that Donna and the cousin are also facing years behind bars as well. And to hear Misty whine, she was only doing this as a "FAVOR" for a friend!! Must be she is buddies with all the truckers she sold pills to too?? She is not understanding that she is deep s!it here. The DA and LE have her on a platter and that is the reason for the high bond amount. I think I know their game plan and if they play it right, she might indeed crack. She is going through detox right now and I am not pleased they are giving her "happy pills" or as my brother in law calls them, "whack pills" as some TH said on NG that drugs like Zoloft are given to combat anxiety and depression and I can't understand why they are giving an addict more pills, but I guess that it might be part of their detox process and to keep her calm.

Seeing as she is not facing reality at this point, do you all think she will finally come clean, but use the "I was wasted and don't remember giving Haleigh pills"?? "I woke up and done found her dead"??? "But it ain't my fault, I done not know that it could kilt her"??? I am betting this is the dialog if she does ever come clean, she is gonna blame everyone but herself, she will probably blame the person that gave her the pills, she will blame Ron for making her babysit the kids that night when all she wanted to do was crash coming off her wild weekend of sex and drugs with another man, what a complete slam pig this skank is. 17 yrs old and living with one loser, and banging another for his drugs, and this is the person that loser scumbag sperm donor Ron left in the care of his precious children and I absolutely loathe him as much as I loathe her. I am loving every minute of listening to her whine and snivel, she is getting a taste of what is to come for her and at some point it might register in her wasted brain that she is probably not going to get out for decades, especially if she does admit to killing Haleigh.

Right now, she has no real info that would spark the DA to lowering the bond as I said, unless she knows some dude who just ripped off everything in Donald Trump's mansion and is fencing it in AL, or a major drug cartel has set up shop in Deliverance and these are not likely scenarios, all I think she has is ratting on her own kind and that is small potatoes and not worth anyone's time. The only info they want out of her mouth is the truth about Haleigh, but she is too dumb to see this, she thinks that she has done nothing wrong by selling narcotics as this is how she was raised by her own scum parents and to some people this might make them feel sorry for her, but I ain't one of them as I know she killed that child in some fashion. So if the cops play their hands right, they might get to the truth and Crystal can give Haleigh a proper burial.

Sorry to interrupt, but I have a question. I was going to phone for pizza tonight. The pizzas add up to twenty bucks, and I want to tip the driver. Does anyone know what ten-percent of $20 is?

[lorettalockhorn]

This has bugged me all night (while I should have been slugging down free martinis, I might add!), but how can PawPaw evict Lindsy when she is part owner/tenant in common of the house on wheels where the Croslin Clan lives?

If you go here http://www.putnam-fl.com/app/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=35&Itemid=55 and accept, then use croslin in the search field, you will see that Lindsy and Sapp are tenants in common. How can he boot her? (As opposed to why?)

Shame on you for a 10% tip. :no:

[SaraSidle]

Shame on you for a 10% tip. :no:


yes 20 cents does not seem like very much in this economy. Make it 40 cents

[One2Snoop]

yes 20 cents does not seem like very much in this economy. Make it 40 cents

I always thought 10% of $20 was $2.00. :) :seeya:

[Marian Paroo]

I tip at least 15% at the table, but less for food delivery.

Do you all tip the same for both?

[samanthajane13]

15 to20% at the table-depending on the service.

If there's a problem with the food, I tell the server about it so the kitchen can take care of it.

The server doesn't cook my food, so how can I take a bad meal out on them?? I know people who do, though.

As for delivery, if the weather is bad, the food gets here hot and on time, I usually give 20%.

Normal weather, 15%.

I want them to remember me for good tipping in the future, so the good service continues.

Food late or cold...the tip depends on MY MOOD.

There's NO reason for cold food because MOST of the places I order from have warmers in the back seat.

So either they overloaded the delivery person to the point where there's so much food that the driver can't keep it hot, or the driver didn't bother putting it in the warmer in the first place.

NO excuse for that.

That is exactly how I tip. Also I used to be a food deliverer so I know.

[beemer]

Yeah I'm with you Sam on the tipping :seeya: I have had a few occasions where I/We left nothing. Due to really bad service. The one i really remember was DH's food came first. We waited and waited for mine. He waited to eat for mine to come. After asking the waitress politely if mine was coming and getting rude replies i knew-no tip. We timed it and mine came 1 hr. later and it was the wrong meal. My DH asked to speak with the manager who simply offered to not charge for my salad only. There was no charge for my salad-it came with the meal :shrug: Needless to say we never went back. Overall we have had great dining experiences and many of them in the U.S.

[samanthajane13]

LOL-one of the WORST meals I ever had was over in Toronto.

We had taken Jenny and one of her friends to the Ontario Science Centre, Wet & Wild, and African Lion Safari (Never again!! They chase the animals with Jeeps to allow for "action shots"!!) for the weekend, and we stayed in a hotel. If someone put a gun to my head, I couldn't remember the name...

The first night, we ate in the dining room because we were so BEAT!!!

They had a "freshly carved Prime Rib" special that night, and Mom and I both ordered it. We asked for medium rare inside cuts.

It came out well-done, CRISPY and FRIED!!! We both complained to the server. What happened to "freshly carved"???

They said it was "freshly carved" that MORNING, and the only way they had to re-warm it was to put it in a pan and FRY it up to temperature. They said if we bothered to cut it, we'd find it was medium rare inside...

Neither of us ate it because it was BONE DRY, and they didn't offer another meal to substitute or offer an refund.

Needless to say, no tip for them!!!

[lorettalockhorn]

I tip at least 15% at the table, but less for food delivery.

Do you all tip the same for both?

Not much delivery available out here in the sticks, I would probably tip the same as at the table, 20%, if it got here edible and potable.

Haleigh Cummings Update – Tommy Croslin Whines

...It is clear that all of the folks behind bars need a care package. Ronald Cummings needs new Boxer shorts, Tommy Croslin needs socks, and poor Misty Croslin is wasting away because of the jail diet! It does not matter that none of her family have money to bail her out. If nothing else she expects them to ‘overnight. $100 for her to spend in the commissary...

1 year later: Cops aim to find Haleigh

On the wall above a desk, a framed photograph features a young girl smiling as she looks at the camera.

It's a constant reminder for the people who work in the office.

This is where investigators, one from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office and another from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, work full-time reviewing clues into the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings, the blonde-haired kindergartener from Satsuma who vanished one year ago.

"It's like our child," Capt. Dominic Piscitello, head of the Major Crimes Unit, said. "We feel the emotional ties to this case as well as the investigative ties."


Informally, the workspace is known as the Haleigh Room.

The small rectangular office in the sheriff's detective division complex reflects the task at hand.

A shelf holds 18 large notebooks with CDs, photos and narratives. These catalog the 5,700 leads the investigation has examined - tips, sightings and even psychic.

Inside one book, a photo shows a man and woman with a young girl.

"Somebody thought that was Haleigh," Piscitello said.

An investiator tracked down the people in the photo and confirmed it was not the missing child from Putnam County.

On the opposite wall is an intricate timeline depicting actions and relationships of those at the center of the probe. In between are computers, files and transcripts.

Haleigh was repofted missing early the morning of Feb. 10, 2009, triggering a massive search and a nationwide criminal investigation. However, no trace of the youngster has been found and the case has turned into a soap-opera like saga with a wedding, a divorce, fights and drug arrests.

Through all the distractions, sheriff's office investigators have continued to locate and pull together more pieces of the puzzle.

Piscitello estimates more than 10,000 man hours have gone into the effort.

Pressure from the case has taken a toll on those working the case, including orders from doctors to rest. But that has not lessened their commitment to seeing it through.

"It will break," he said with conviction. We'll solve it eventually."

Thanks for that link loretta. i guess we just have to keep the faith as LE seems to be doing. I know there was a time I and many here thought it was Mayberry LE. Sounds like they have been working this diligently and i am sure they know a lot more than we do and have for some time. I guess just waiting for a break to prove it so it will stand in court :rose:

LOL-sounds like they are better off than the parents. Roof over their head and food to eat. Tommy doesn't have smokes tho. I wish misty could get a pencil :D

[lorettalockhorn]

Still tyring to figure out how old man Sapp can evict Lindsy. :confused: Loved it when Misty told Lisa that she's not even going to smoke when she gets out. Hmmm Let's see, she'll be about eighty years old, that's plenty of time to quit cold turkey. Does anyone know what Ron was talking about when he and GGMS were talking about chains? I thought he said something about watching soaps, but it was washing soap. Was that a non-sequitur? Must be getting old, I don't hear so good. Thank goodness NG has a transcription!

TO answer your question loretta.. he can't evict her. Tenants in Common clauses have a few arms and legs. He can't even sell his part of the house without her signature. If she wants to sell out, he has to either buy her out or agree to allow her to sell. If she sells, the new owner becomes his tenant in common. It's a terrible situation.. unless she is able to afford to condo her part of the house (if it is a 2 family house) she's stuck there with paw paw.

Another bad thing about being a tenant in common: If one of the owners gets sued, guess who else gets sued with him? Yep! The innocent other tenant. It's bad all around. If the bank repossessed the house for non payment of one then the other goes belly up too. When ever, if ever you see the words "Tenant in Common" Run like hell. :chicken:

Last i heard/read was that Linsey was moving with the kids to a condo where her grandpa/grandparents? live. Somewhere in the state of Fla. Cant figure out what the hay the chains mean :shrug: Slang for something else? hey no worries-I coulda swore Ron said he could not get the soap out of his armpits :shrug: The quality of those tapes was very poor.

That is unacceptable Sam! There was a time when I never complained, then I went into the restaurant industry. Hello? I got real fussy after that. If they don't take the meal back and correct it, or take it off the bill, I tell them to eat it themselves and as long as they have no problem with it, pay for it too.

Once a lady ordered a pizza from me and called to complain that it arrived cold and dry. I told her to come in for a free one, she did and brought the unacceptable one back to me with one slice left in the box. ( I was shocked!) I gave her a new one and wrote it off as a PR expense because that's what it was. Restaurants have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by addressing complaints like yours. Poor baby! No one should ever fry a piece of Prime Rib.. :no:
They lost a few good customers is all they did.

Tip what you want to tip, keeping in mind that servers don't earn minimum wage. They live on their tips and pay taxes on them here in the USA. They should keep that in mind too, but some of them don't and their service stinks! I don't tip rude, slow, lazy servers. And I sometimes over tip efficient ones. All is fair.

I flip flop daily as to who the Liar's are and who just knows nothing. Or was just too wacked out at the time to know anything. For now I am leaning that if Tommy knows anything he will talk. He does seem to have some version of luv for his wife and kids. Albeit an irresponsible drug hazed excuse for a father and husband. Misty seems to have no problem ratting out Tommy :shrug: If he had anything on her i would think he would talk so save his hide. This opine could all change tomorrow :confused:

Haleigh Vigil Scheduled Ahead Of 1-Year Anniversary

GLEN ST. MARY -- A vigil is planned Saturday night for Haleigh Cummings, who has not been seen in close to a year.

The vigil for the missing 6-year-old is set for 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Celebration Park, in Glen St. Mary.

Investigators believe someone abducted Haleigh from her Satsuma home during the early morning hours of Feb. 10, 2009.

Despite thousands of tips and countless hours of searching, there have been no signs of the girl.

One person who won’t be at Saturday’s vigil is Haleigh’s father, Ronald Cummings, who remains locked up after being arrested for selling illegal prescription painkillers.

His ex-wife, Misty Croslin, who was the last person to see Haleigh alive, also remains behind bars for the same charges.

While Croslin has come under suspicion, she maintains she had nothing to do with the little girl’s disappearance.

No one has been charged in the case.

Confirmed: Haleigh's Mom Failed Drug Test, Keeps Child

Rumors have been swirling all week that hearing was held early this week regarding the custody status of Ronald Cummings Jr., the young brother of missing 6-year-old Satsuma girl Haleigh Cummings. He is the son of Ronald Cummings Sr, who is now in jail on drug trafficking charges, and Crystal Sheffield of Baker County.

According to the rumors, Crystal Sheffield allegedly failed a drug test yet the young boy remains with her in her Baker County home.

Since WSKY has had no luck in locating the records of this DCF hearing, I contacted Crystal's mother Marie Griffis for confirmation.

I told Marie that there is talk that Butterbean remains at home, but that Crystal may have failed a drug test due to the ingestion of a Loritab pill.


Marie Griffis responded:

"I will say yes that is true, all the other stuff on the internet came from the ones scorned (that is all I will say about them). Please let everyone know that Crystal is doing what DCF wants her too, Crystal has needed these therapies that they are offering she has dealt with a lot losing a child a second time and maybe this time peemanently and on top of that, everyone in the home will receive some type of therapy. Chad's children have been affected by HaLeigh's disappearance, they are all like brothers and sisters. Update on Butterbean he is doing great he is very happy and loving being with his Mommy he gets very upset when she has to be away from him from 3hrs to go to her classes but he understands why. We have explained everything to him that we feel he understands, he just simply wants to be with his Mommy."

Thanks

Marie...

A year since Haleigh vanished, Ronald and Misty lost their way long ago

Ronald Cummings was already a volatile man with a drug-related past when he met Misty Croslin, a defiant, barely educated teenager who moved in nearby.

LISTEN TO THE AUDIO INTERVIEW WITH RONALD CUMMINGS

Before they came to define the troubling story of Cummings' 5-year-old daughter, the pair now jailed on trafficking charges lived in a world surrounded by drugs and marked by mistrust, family and others recalled in interviews.

Haleigh disappeared from southern Putnam County a year ago Wednesday.

In the years leading up to that night, Cummings, now 26, had fathered three children and been arrested on drug charges but escaped prosecution. Croslin was a Michigan transplant who quit going to school in the sixth grade and ran off to New Jersey at 15.

Now Cummings and Croslin are awaiting arraignment on the drug charges after undercover investigators orchestrated a series of narcotics buys in December and January that also netted a friend of Croslin's, one of her brothers and a cousin of Cummings.

The arrests end nearly a year that was both sad because of Haleigh and tawdry in the lives it exposed to a national audience.

Ronald

Cummings and his 17-year-old girlfriend had been together for a short time when Haleigh disappeared. They'd met months earlier in their Satsuma neighborhood and seen each other at the school bus stop at the end of Tyler Street where Haleigh was dropped off with Croslin's nephew.

They had also talked when Croslin baby-sat Cummings' youngest son, who lived with a former girlfriend. Croslin warned Cummings he needed to gain custody of the baby because she said the child's mother was a drug abuser who would sometimes disappear and abandon the boy with whoever had him.

Soon Croslin was baby-sitting for Haleigh and Cummings' 3-year-old son, Ronald Jr.

The two became a couple but the relationship was rocky on the Monday night that Haleigh went missing. Croslin spent the weekend partying, although she was home by the time Cummings went to work Monday evening. But Cummings was angry and repeatedly called her brother that night, demanding to know where she was when he couldn't get her on the phone.

Anger and a sense of remoteness had marked Cummings for years, said his grandmother Annette Sykes, who reared him and his sister until Sykes' husband became debilitated by Alzheimer's. Annette and Kirby Sykes had guardianship of the two children beginning when Ronald was 3. He moved out as his grandfather became increasingly ill and was back with his mother, Teresa Neves, in Sumter County by the time he was a young teenager.

After Cummings graduated from high school in Leesburg, he and his girlfriend moved back to Putnam County. They went to his grandparents in Welaka, where his girlfriend became pregnant, but Cummings had changed, his grandmother said.

"He just had a dirty mouth," she said. "He was very disrespectful."

She attributed his ill manners to a bad crowd but found that as her husband - the man Cummings called "Daddy" - worsened and died, her grandson changed, too.

"He doesn't really want anybody to be close to him, I don't think," she said.

Cummings never saw much of his birth father, who lives in Putnam County, she said.

"Everything Kirby did at home, Ronald was right with him," Sykes said. "Every step Kirby took."

Cummings was never the same after his death in January 2002, she said.

From jail, Cummings said his grandfather had been a guiding force in his life.

"He taught me the basics, you know, be good to your women and your children," he said. "Work."

He said he learned right from wrong from his grandfather, and the importance of respect.

"I'm sure he wouldn't be happy I'm in here, that's for sure," he said.

His most serious arrests started after high school.

In October 2001 he was arrested after a Crescent City man said he was threatened at a stoplight and told he would be killed.

He was charged with drug possession in 2002 and 2004, both times after drugs were found with him in cars.

Charges were never prosecuted, according to court records...

[beemer]

Thanks for the link loretta. Such lives they lead :eek: Headed on a collision course it's just sad it cost Haleigh her life. One year on Wed? Did anyone listen to Levi's radio show last night? LP was on and the conditions he set forth for providing bail was that Misty tell what she knows and it leading to finding Haleigh dead or alive. I feel better now hearing his terms but what good would it do for Misty to implicate herself if she has direct knowledge. Bailed out only to be re-arrested on a murder charge :shrug: If none of them talk that may speak volumes :shrug:

[lorettalockhorn]

Croslin's, Cummings' lives tied to family, misfortune

Misty's 'life spiraled' Grandfather was a mentor to Ronald Cummings

Teresa Neves is certain of one thing. Before the disappearance of her granddaughter, Haleigh Cummings, the woman who cared for the little girl and her younger brother, Junior, was caring and responsible.

"She loved them," Neves, 50, said of Misty Croslin. "There was no doubt in my mind about that."

Today, Haleigh's paternal grandmother says she doesn't know who Croslin has turned out to be. "I feel that somewhere in those two or three days before Haleigh went missing, she took a wrong turn in life, and that brought her to where she is today," Neves said of the young woman her son dated, married and has since divorced. "I do not feel she is the same person she was when I first met her. It's like night and day."

As for her son, Ronald Cummings, 26, Neves wouldn't talk about the current criminal charges against him, but acknowledged he has made mistakes in the past.

Despite his early missteps, however, her son had moved forward and worked to care for his children, she said.

"He was a very, very intelligent person. He has a very high IQ," Neves said of her son. "He has made some mistakes. You know what they say, they that can cast the first stone. I say that everybody makes mistakes in life. Ronald straightened out his life. His main focus has mainly been his children."

By all accounts, the lives of both Croslin and Cummings showed signs of trouble even before Haleigh's disappearance brought on the scrutiny of law enforcement and the media.

Before her recent arrest on drug charges, Croslin spoke about a Tennessee relative she claimed had "messed" with her when she was younger. In an interview last year, she said she wasn't going to school, and though she had signed up for GED classes, she never attended.

Before his daughter disappeared, Cummings had been arrested on minor drug charges in Putnam County and had cases filed on other allegations involving traffic violations, wildlife violations and trespassing.

Officers later announced he was not a suspect in Haleigh's disappearance, and a Department of Children and Families investigation cleared him of any abuse involving his children.

In a jailhouse interview last month, Cummings told a newspaper reporter that people have developed their own, inaccurate impressions of him.

"I get tired of being judged by people who just look at me," Cummings said. "I'm glad I'm not such a judgmental person."

While officers have said they do not consider Cummings and Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, suspects in the girl's disappearance, officials have said Misty Croslin's words don't match physical evidence or other accounts from the night Haleigh vanished. And her comments to the media early in the case, when she described what she remembered of the hours before the girl disappeared, have varied...

Looks like Ron&Misty have managed to sleep their way to the bottom.

Misty prolly never had a chance, but Ron has thrown away some opportunities and thumbed his nose at several lucky breaks that could have changed Haleigh's and Junior's lives. That very high IQ didn't do him hella good.

Well said :beer: Maybe the high IQ translates to street smarts in her estimation :shrug:

[lorettalockhorn]

HAH! I'm far from impressed with his street smarts. Not after reading the narratives of these drug busts. They're all twits.

Wonder how Ron came about living with GGMS. Did TN lose custody? Give him up?

Also wonder if the Cummings side of Haleigh's family took part in the vigil last night.

According to this, Mother Teresa was at the Glen St. Mary vigil:

...Haleigh's mother, Crystal Sheffield, along with Sheffield's mother, Marie Griffis, and Cummings' mother, Teresa Neves, gathered Saturday night in Glen St. Mary for the first of two vigils...

Where is HaLeigh? One Year Later

February 10, 2009 was the early morning when 5-year-old HaLeigh Cummings of Satsuma, FL was discovered missing from her home at Hermit's Cove.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of her disappearance, not much more is really known as to how she vanished and who might have taken her and where she is now.

What is known of that night so far, according to Putnam County Sheriff's and FDLE investigators is that:

The girl's father, Ronald Cummings was at work at PDM in Palatka.
The girl's mother was in Baker County.
The girl's babysitter-then stepmother-then ex-stepmother Misty Croslin was the last person to see HaLeigh and investigators believe she is the key to this case. They maintain that her stories about the night are inconsistent and conflict with the evidence.
Since that night, a wide number of subplots and sideshows have taken place. Click here for the timeline.

On January 20, 2009, Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin along 3 others on drug trafficking charges. All remain behind bars at this time. Investigators say the cases are separate from the disappearance of HaLeigh, but they will be asking them a lot of questions about that night while they are in jail. Click here for the drug case links and audio/video.

Apparently drugs have been an issue with Ronald Cummings and Misty Cummings prior to HaLeigh's disappearance, brought to light early in the investigation by private investigator William "Cobra" Staubs. Click here for audio (R-rated language.

News Talk 97.3 The Sky has confirmed the story that HaLeigh's mother Crystal Sheffield recently failed a drug test . That was a finding at a family status hearing last Monday. Crystal has been ordered to rehab. Her son, HaLeigh's little brother Ronald Cummings Jr., remains with Crystal's family in Baker County. He has been there since shortly after Ronald Cummings Sr. was arrested on drug charges.

For the average person, the cast of characters in this case has been a challenge to follow. Click here for the roster.

Perhaps this investigation into HaLeigh’s disappearance is nearing an end. The mostly tight-lipped Putnam County Sheriff's Office recently allowed pictures of the "HaLeigh Room" where investigators work the case 24/7. Click here for the photos.

High IQ? Very Intelligent? When? Where? He is a complete loser now, regardless of how he was when he was younger!! And it is interesting to note that Mother Teresa did not even raise him, his grandparents did!! And she is still singing Misty's praises!!! And I had no idea that she was originally from MI, well that in itself could explain a lot of why she is a complete loser? A lot of people that I have met out here have never finished school. Either they got knocked up at age 14, or they just did not want to go. Some men quit to go to work at GM or the sugar beet factories, but education out here is not a priority like it is back east. Neither are teeth but that is whole different story! A guy who lives next to my sister can't even read or write, he had to quit in the 6th grade to go to work to support his family and get this, he is married to a school teacher and I asked my sister why she has not taught him and she says that he figures why bother at the age of 50? He can sign his name and that is pretty much it but he does work hard for his family, he does drywall work and I guess you don't need schooling to do that.

Now Teresa had not even known Misty very long when Haleigh went gone, and I am guessing that she never saw the dark side of this girl, Ron did not make this twit the way she is, she was that way, dumb as a stump before she ever hooked up with him as her low life parents did not even make her finish school and what responsible parent would allow their kid to drop out in the 7th grade? And support her ass too? No, knowing they are from MI originally explains a lot to me as I have seen kids drop out in 8th grade because they are knocked up and the parents are actually THRILLED their 15 yr old daughter is pregnant, and they all say that after they have the baby they were going back, and instead, they get pregnant again and then again and most of them end up on welfare, living in some crappy trailer, and the Daddies are in the wind. This is not what I ever wanted for my god-kids and I am pleased that one has gone back to school and one is now in college, but they were both raised in VT and then moved here and had kids and I was afraid the cycle would continue and they would have 5 kids by the time they hit 30 and smartly, they have chosen to only have two.

Here's a thought. Must be honey pie is on birth control as surely, she would have ended up knocked up by now and she is the last person that should ever procreate, but I don't think we are gonna have to worry about that happening now, as I do not believe she will leave prison for a long time. As for ole Lenny, I emailed him and told him my point of view about him posting her bond. I said that he thought Casey would come clean to him and that backfired on him big time and that Misty ain't about to give it up to him either and that she would be a major flight risk and that it was his money, but I don't think he would accomplish anything except scorn from people who think he is a publicity hungry tool as he does dig the camera. And on WJXT's website it states that Tommy is now blaming Misty for his involvement in the drug trafficking, big surprise there? He is whining hard as he claims to have been drawn into the drama surrounding these low life's and that he stands firm he did not harm Haleigh, but I found it strange the way he worded it, which leaves me to believe that he might very well have helped Misty dispose of Haleigh's body as I have a strong suspicion he did, no evidence to support that obviously, but just a gut feeling as I think he wants to come clean about Misty, but can't figure out a way to do it without implicating himself. Because I think if he truly KNOWS for a fact that Misty acted alone, to save his own ass he would have flipped on her the first night they got busted.

Art Harris Talks Haleigh Case on Geraldo Sunday

http://www.artharris.com/2010/02/07/geraldo-talks-haleigh-cummings-sunday-on-fox/

[wind149]

Update: Geraldo's producers have canceled Art's appearance tonight due to some kind of breaking news and Art has been invited to appear on a later date and I want to see this, because Geraldo was all fired up about this, remember when he got into it with Wonder Boy? Geraldo has that effect on people because he is a hound dog after a bone and he won't quit till he gets to the nitty gritty. I went to a taping of his show when he was the hottest day time dude back in 1991 and my friend and I really dug him so we drove to NYC, our boss at the time had an apt there and he let us stay there and it was about 5 blocks away from the studio and it was really kinda cool!! When you first get through the door, you were greeted by his people and then in a reception room there was a breakfast buffet laid out and Geraldo came in and met all of us and that is when the topic of that day's show was announced and we picked a doozy of a day to show up! It was about folks born with both sex organs and you saw nothing but confusion and WTF's and if you could not handle the subject matter, your ticket would be honored on another day. Some of the older people blew right out of there, but the rest of us were fascinated and curious all at the same time!!

And what a crew!!! A man, who after having had prostrate surgery discovered he had female organs and decided at the age of 50 to explore his feminine side and decided to become a woman as he said he always felt weird as a guy, but he was not gay, he was married and his wife was on the show and she did not looked to pleased to be there but she said she was supporting him. Another guest was a call girl who could swing it both ways and she was a trip!! She bragged how she made about $50,000 a week sometimes as she could be whatever you wanted her to be as she had a penis as well as female breasts and a vagina where her testicles should have been? And another guest was going through some agony as he was born with a penis, but a very small one and doctors told his parents since he has both, that they should raise him as a girl and they amputated his penis and he grew up thinking he was in the wrong body and it wasn't until his mother died that he found paperwork pertaining to him and he at the time of the show was going forward with a complete sex change as he had a small clitoris that he hoped could be enlarged!

My friend who was pretty open minded sat there with her mouth open the whole time!! So Geraldo was pretty cutting edge back in 1991 and while it was weird to see these folks, they were not freaks, they just were born different and today, people go through sex changes all the time and people don't look at them as freaks anymore. So I dig Geraldo and I will check Art's site to see when he will be on as those two together, it will be interesting!!! I really like Art a lot as well as Geraldo, Art is driven to find the truth about Haleigh and he has never wavered, he really cares like all of us do, that the truth needs to come out, we all know this precious child is dead and that is heart-breaking, but I consider it a blessing of sorts because she will stay forever as a beautiful child with a beautiful smile and not have to be raised by the likes of this low life clan. I have her picture on my board and every time I post here about her, I look at it and I make a promise to her, that someday, baby, the truth will come out and then when Misty gets a life sentence, I will take the pic down and put it in a scrap book next to Jessie. I still feel the Lord cheated the Lunsford family out of watching the maggot gasp his last, but hopefully in hell he will burn forever as there is no way the Lord let him into his kingdom.

[lorettalockhorn]

>>Update: Geraldo's producers have canceled Art's appearance tonight due to...

needing to buy new lighting and filter equipment to broadcast Art's fake/orange/bronze/tanning bed obsession.

JUST KIDDING!!

Thanks for the head's up. Oh man, Geraldo was da man back in the day (although I never watched him on daytime); some of his investigative reporting was gutsy and probably dangerous to some degree. And I thought he was pretty hot until I started mentally adding up all those exes and thinking hmmm, maybe he's not just a media wh0re. I don't have faith in Art as a honest man (or even a decent journalist), but by golly I'll read or watch anything I can get my hands on when it comes to Haleigh. Somewhere, someone knows something or has a theory or slant that will bring her home, dead or alive.

[wind149]

Loretta! I am shocked girlfriend! I thought you liked Art, you have to admit he has been getting the real low down on all of these low life's, people tend to open up to him rather than police and certainly more so than Nancy! Several people on his site posted about how they dislike her and that she is a moron, and she is caustic, no doubt, and highly opined, but that is her charm, she ain't out to win friends, and we all watch her show and she has a massive fan base, she has regulars that seem to get through all the time, like Sheba from IL and then you have the ones that call just to be able to gush all over about the twinnies and she obliges them! Personally, I think that they are not that cute, they have her big bug eyes and she goes on about them like she was the first to ever give birth to twins at the age of 47! One night, she was blathering on about them with a guest and she makes a big point of showing her "nanny cam" and how she can watch them from her desk like these were invented just for her?

She has the bucks to give those kids everything, you know she has nannies, I bet she does not get up in the middle of the night when one is wet or hungry, kinda like Angelina and Brad? Who really thinks they get up in the middle of the night to attend to their brood?? Not them!!! They have people just to change the diapers, to feed them, to amuse them, to dress and bathe them and the only time they play parents is in front of the camera and I can't stand either one of them! I used to really dig Brad, what hot blooded straight woman didn't? Now since he has been with her, he has changed and not for the good either. Now granted, they can afford to adopt or calve out more and I am going out on a limb here and guessing they will adopt a slew from Haiti??? Now there are millions of kids in this country that need parents, but they won't garner the same press if they adopt a kid from Iron Mtn MI or Gary IN??? No, they like to think they are COOL for adopting poor orphans from Africa or Cambodia and I admit, they do love their kids, and they can afford everything under the sun and moon, but come on, adopt some Americans kids will ya?

As for Geraldo, I think you would have roared if you had been there with us!! The looks on people's faces, especially the older set were horrified or simply had no clue what Geraldo was telling us about the show's topic and even my friend was like, how is that possible? She had never heard of anyone having both sets of hardware and afterwards we went to the Hard Rock Cafe and she proceeds to tell the table full of guys next to us, (after a few gin and tonics) about the show and the guy's reactions were mixed. From horror to absolute mirth, it was a blast!!! When we came home and told everyone, not too many people were fazed, us Vermonters are used to gay and different people especially the town we lived in, at that time, there were three gay bars in town and straight people went to one all the time as they had the best dance music and drag queen shows which I have always found to be a hoot!! And some of these guys could pull it off well!! Jimmy, was amazing! He could look like Cher one night and then Dolly Parton the next and he could sing too!! And he was a knock-out as a man or a woman!!

Sadly, he died of AIDS in 1997 and we all mourned him as he was a hell of a person. He volunteered at the AIDS hospice up until he got too sick and ended up there himself and it was a sad day when he passed and over 400 people attended his funeral including Gov Dean!!! He would give someone his last dollar and took in many stray and abused cats, at one time he had over 40 and they were well taken care of and his partner continued taking care of them as well and he is a nice man and he was so lost after Jimmy passed and they were together about 2 yrs when Jimmy was diagnosed and he blamed himself, but turns out he was not infected as he had slept around on Jimmy a few times and Jimmy thought he might contracted it when he was in a bad car accident in Bermuda and they were not testing the blood like they do here. In the end, it did not matter, as this poor man, suffered so and I had lost my Steven back in 1990 and it was bittersweet at Jimmy's funeral. So many good people have died from this disease and more straight people die from it now than gays now.

Loretta, have you been reading Art's postings on his site? If not I encourage you to do so, he is getting some real dirt about these scumbags that even NG has not been privy to and I noticed the other night, he posted some things before he was on her show that he did not share with her??? He obviously cares deeply as we all do about Haleigh and he has been relentless in his own quest to get the truth as to where this child's body is and I think he is pleased that Misty is behind bars with no chance of getting out anytime soon, unless ole Len there decides to bond her and I think he is wrong for doing so and check out on Art's site how many people are not happy as well and lot's of people think he is doing this for publicity and at this point, so do I. And it will be his nephews cash on the line, not his, but I think he runs the whole show and his nephew just pony's up the cash. Misty should remain behind bars as Putnam has an ace in their hand and I hope they play it right. She clearly is not getting it, that she is in deep s!it here and that hawking pills are felonies!!!! SO check out Art and let me know what you think!!!

[lorettalockhorn]

Heck yeah, I read Art, just like I do Simon and just like I watch Nancy despite the fact that they are hacks. Neither Art nor Simon can write or spell for sh!t, and Art's habit of claiming exclusivity and plastering artharris.com on photos is getting old. But I do try to keep up with his news and post the links here because I know that there is at least a grain of truth in most of what is reported.

Man, I hope you're right and Nancy can afford anything for The Twins, because the way that she shamelessly exposes them is disgusting and I wonder if it's really safe. Guess it helps to have a driver and a doorman and nannies, etc. Although that's not exactly a normal life for a child anymore than being exposed to Roxies and a crack pipe is.

[Bullwinkle]

BOMBSHELL!

Time to walk the dog. Back later. :seeya:

Course, you have to be careful about those you hire. The more of them,the less likely you are able to keep careful track of them. And, then there are their friends and associates--never know when someone THEY know might find a way into that house, even if it's a fortress. Can't trust anyone these days, ya know!!!!

What was the story behind the rose out in the woods a ways back :shrug:

What was the story behind the rose out in the woods a ways back :shrug:

Yeah-seriously!!!

I've wondered about that, too!!

Yeah-seriously!!!

I have to agree. that was bizarre.:rose:

I have to agree. that was bizarre.:rose:I hope that area was searched very thoroughly.

Oh, had kind of forgotten about that.

http://mistycroslin.com/2009/08/29/look-for-haleigh-near-a-rose/

If anything was learned about the rose or the location, it's not likely that LE's going to talk about it.

[SaraSidle]

what if Misty and Tommy were partying around ten and left the door open with a brick to go outside to smoke. and haleigh was able to slip out the door due to croslins on drugs. nobody broke in.....sara

[lorettalockhorn]

The block has never really made sense to me; a grown man could pretty easily carry Haleigh and manipulate the doors, and if Misty's "dream" about four men is actually a reality, there certainly wouldn't be any need for more than one man to prop open the door. Seems like Misty and Ron were pretty quick to deny that they knew about the pile of blocks in the yard, and it doesn't seem likely that kidnapper(s) would a) know about the blocks, or b) bring a block with him/them. Don't think either one of those doors is self-locking even though both of them are self-closing, so since Haleigh was close to half of Misty's weight, it makes sense to me that she would need help getting Haleigh whether alive, awake, sleeping, drugged, or dead, out the doors.

ETA: For some reason the thought of Misty or anyone else going outside to smoke seems laughable. Like they give a rat's ass about second hand smoke. But maybe they do. :shrug:

Ooof! Thanks I thought it was my TV. Re Art.

You're right, someone knows something and I get the feeling there is no such thing as a secret when 2 people know about it. Wasn't that in Proverbs somewhere? Once Misty feels safe behind bars, she'll sing.

My theory is a 2 factor one. First she's easily intimidated because she's so young. Secondly she's in real danger if she opens her mouth. I just don't know who she's afraid of, besides Ron.

Yeah IMO Geraldo has lost his luster. I used to watch him all the time, but it seems like someone killed his spirit. (Or a lot of someones) ;)

hehehe Art Harris may well be the only bald man that I find repugnant. :eek:

I really think that it's really possible that both Ron and Misty know what happened or are equally responsible for what happened and theh only way for either of them to not pay for the crime is to keep each other's secret and Haleigh's memory and the rest of the world be damned. For instance, if they were in some sort of altercation before Ron went to work and Haleigh was injured or killed, Ron may have left Misty to deal with getting rid of her. Arthur Aidala seems to think Haleigh could have been sold or traded.

That would totally depend on what one was smoking.
