I will give you a tip, did you know that silent was an anagram of listen? The art of listening is one that has sadly gone the way of the DoDo.
There have been a few comments left, and we have received a number of emails about the cases we are following. Caylee Anthony, Haleigh Cummings, and Aaliyah Bedwell consume most of our waking hours. Our silence should not be viewed as inaction, we are working these cases as fast and as far as we can with our resources.
In fact we have spent most of today dealing with crowd control. All of these cases have a wealth of information if you go mining. Unfortunately the mine shaft is protected by a mine field. Tread softly else something bad is going to happen.
What is printed in the papers, or indeed displayed online often is not the whole story. To write the whole story would take a book, actually three books.
Being privy to ‘unwashed’ information is a double edged sword. Being first to launch is a dangerous game indeed.
I do want to assure you that we are working hard behind the scenes, and at the rate our phone is ringing, it will not be long until I have worn it out.
The Caylee Anthony case gets stranger by the moment. There is a lot more to this story than has been shared to the general public. It will come out eventually, there is no way to avoid it. The Prosecutors have the Death Penalty on the table, yet the evidence looks weak. There is a lot more to this story, but I for one will not discuss it.
The Haleigh Cummings case in many ways is even more bizarre, how can a 5 year old simply disappear? Harry Houdini was the last guy I can think of that could pull this stunt off. Once again, there are dynamics at work that are not reported. We are not derelict in our mission, we are just cognizant of what Law Enforcement are doing. The dynamics in this particular case, do give me the goose bumps. There are stories within stories. It might have been better to keep one or two of the genies in the bottle, as they do not concern finding Haleigh Cummings.
On the subject of Aaliyah Bedwell I will say this. Jan and I have spent more hours on this case than I can even add up. If it is a hoax, it is a damn fine one!
I am not asking you to buy into all of our theories, but I would ask the courtesy of being polite in your comments. I will also talk for the journalists that I talk to daily, we all ask that you be civil. It was interesting, in our conversation the same commenter’s names and IP’s came up today.
Let me offer a suggestion, why attack when you could just ask?
Not everyone likes the books I read, not everyone likes the music I listen to, and I don’t care for theirs. But I always offer respect. It does not cost anything, and it gains respect from everyone else that reads the article.

Simon you make a lot of good points. I fully understand the need to walk softly in each case. I would NEVER want any of these cases compromised in any way. Especially for the sake of proving points or the satisfaction of those who are interested. That being said, it does not make the waiting any easier.
We know Caylee’s fate, Haleigh is a mystery but those of us who believe the Bedwell story are having a difficult task. As each day passes we are pretty sure this little girl is living in hell and it could so easily be rectified by the stroke of a judge’s pen.
Aaliyah is not missing or in the hands of an unknown abuser. For all we know, Haleigh is suffering a similiar fate, which is hard to think about. It is frustrating knowing that one person could change the lives of both these children and for whatever reason they do nothing. LE should take Misty in custody and NOT let her go until they get the truth from her. LE should investigate Aaliyah’s father and not stop until they get the truth in that case. LE seems to be the key in both cases.
Since LE don’t or won’t do their jobs, people like you and other reporters are forced to try and get to the truth, without stepping on toes.
In my mind, I understand but my heart opposes the silence.
Thank God for you and people like you. You dedicate your time, efforts and basically your lives to get to the real story. You must do this without the power of badges and the official clout that others have and refuse to use. Thank you and God speed. We are waiting and praying.
Just know there are many who really do appreciate all you do. I know these have been thankless journeys for you. I also know the only thanks you are interested in is seeing justice for all these children. In the interest of the kids, I will wait.
Great job on the article. As always, love the little quips.
PS,
I didn’t know silence was an anagram for listen. Another reason I enjoy reading your articles, I almost always learn something interesting. I pride myself on knowledge of the english language and you certainly challenge me. Understanding your articles have required my use of the dictionary more than once. Please know your efforts and Jan’s are truly appreciated.
Thank you Jan and Simon, very much.
I dont hear NO silence my way its ACTION pure rockin!! Haleigh and Sandra are all over the place!!!!
♥ =>
true to the core simon! morning everyone…happy memorial day to one and all. This haleigh thing with cobra and kim p really has baffled me beyond words…I just don’t understand…
Hey KIM!!
Here!
oh yay!! I found you guys..! Good Morning!!
and yes I have pictures but can not locate the camera as yet.. unpacked last nite and it is MIA for the moment. I don’t lose anything so it’s gotta be somewhere and i will find it!
maybe not…
here
hey everyone! Hey we have an amber alert in Michigan another little 5 year old taken off her bike
so sad…
Is cool
Awww Pam that’s not good news.. Hopefully this one find’s their way back home safe.
yah she was on her bike and just vanished I saw it on news… and the parents are young and had a vigil last night…
beautiful little girl…
Oh
Thats sad Pammy! 
i know it wonder if NG will spotlight the case, maybe so… but there are reports of an SO they questioning… so sickening… shes so beautiful from the pic they showed….
Morning,Pammy! Terrible news. Was the vigil hosted by Barf of “never miss a chance for a vigil (or a donation) foundation?” If not she’ll probably sue the poor parents for having one without her permission. She’s the Vigil Queen after all!
(can you tell I don’t like her much?)
Thats scary to me…poor baby like Adji! Just gone into thin air
And pick.. bugtussel is a hole in the wall. Acres and Acres of woods.. i think it would be hard to find anyone (even an adult) in that area.
Pammy I saw a news report the other day that I wanted to tell you about. A mom in New Zealand or somewhere had been bidding online for toys and stuff for her kids (not ebay but something like it) and then took a nap. When she woke up she found out she’d won an earthmover digger kind of machine. She thought it must be a toy she’d placed a bid on earlier. Until she saw the price. $12,300. Apparently her little child (4-ish)had gotten online while she was napping! And the child had bid on and won a REAL one!
This is by way of taking back my earlier suggestion about buying your little girl a “computer.” LOL! Apparently there are downsides that I had not anticipated.
(The bidding site let the mom off the hook though, thank heaven!)
m2c!
hey MTC lol i saw it on the news and they did this vigil shes been missing i think 24 hours now, the parents are very young, and the mom did a poly i heard… i heard an SO being questioned… its more than sad this is just going on way too much everywhere
Woods and woods huh?? Whoever took her made a clean break for it
Did you see her house???
Morning, Mz. P and everyone!
Gosh you gals get up raring to go in the morning! Takes me a while.
And remember, Jen, local LE told Tim Miller that there is “criminal activity” in those woods. (And in town and in residential areas and even in the jail! LOL! But they forgot to mention that!)
Pammy checkYOmail lady!
MTC LMAO that is the most hialrious story! ( not for mommy) but the fact that kid did that! omg, lol… yah i better not let mine get up in this chair anytime soon, cause she does study me on here, and well they be smarter than we all know…holy cow can u imagine explaining to the seller i’m so sorry my 4 year old outbid your bidders…
Yupe they use drugs and hook in them woods.
Ms P - I’m sure there must be pot farms and/or meth labs in the woods. I mean why else steer Tim M away from there? What other kind of “criminal activity” flourishes in the woods?
My last comment just brought to mind the old movie “Deliverance.” But shoot, as far as incest goes and underage “you know what,” they do that IN TOWN for all to see so that can’t be what’s going on in the woods! LOL!
Prostitution, and drug use.
yah so i was trying to find more info on the michigan case but nothing new yet..
yah these girls are always up early lol i get up early too… i gotta do house cleaning today and back to work later .. ahh holiday over..lol
I love the sunrise!!
I got a ton of house work to do today also…my house is clean but im lazy id rather do nothing then that. LOL…..I love to sit and waste time doing nothing is my favorite thing to do!
But Mz P = they got a nice airconditioned cathouse for the prost. Don’t need the woods for that either! LOL!
It just bothers me that LE knows well enough to warn Tim off about the criminal activity in the woods but we don’t hear that they are doing anything about it!
I got work today too so I will check in with you all later (and I will read back)!
BBL, friends!
Adios amiga!!
Ya the wh**e house I forgot the apartment where they have to give up there clothes and work for there keep!
I found the article on the michigan missing little girl
(and another bizarre story over leftovers)
Monroe(WXYZ)- The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office has issued an Amber Alert for a missing 5-year-old girl.
Nevaeh Amyah Buchanan was last seen Sunday in the parking lot of the Charlotte Arms Apartment Complex on Macomb Street in Monroe.
A friend of the girl’s mother is being questioned in connection with her disappearance.
Investigators say the 39 year-old man is a registered sex offender who lives near the family’s Monroe home.
Neveah has brown hair and eyes and was last seen wearing a light blue sleeveless shirt with red and white stripes and blue jeans.
Her scooter was also found laying in the parking lot of the complex.
If you have any information regarding Nevaeh’s disappearance please call 911 immediately.

Good morning, How is everyone today? I slept all night. A first in a while. I need to do house work today as well. I had rather not. Ha Ha. I do wish that we could get some good news on Haleigh. This can not keep going on. She did not just vanish. There has to be something. Bless her heart, I hope that if she is out there that she is ok and not scared.
Jen did you see anything down in the holler. Dose anyone know how far Ron moved from the house they lived in when Haleigh disapeared?
Good Morning everyone! How was your weekend? I hope all is well.
Morning Lock….hey I read somewhere that ppl think were idiots and dont use proper english or grammer or punctuation. LOL so clean it up! LOL they make fun of the rabbit hole too! See I had no clue that they read us but they do….They think i harrass and attack them when IN REALITY I am way to busy for them donks. They are RUDE to 99% of those that have the misfortune of entering there forum….so im betting THEY HAVE LOTS OF ENEMIES….lol..GET A LIFE LAMERS! I have one and its to busy to bother with YOU!…I can read now though and its hilarious they think all that is bad on there forum is me and BNN’ers…LOL….~!! and its NOT!
Good morning MsColumbo
Pammy I writing right now…lol
Pickles,
What forum is it?
Tori…(tomfoolery) there way hidden now though I had no clue at all!! LMAO I read and they literally think that every troll that enters there hell hole is us here at and me….LOL they the ones who accuse me of being drunk…..I had NO CLUE i forgot bout them LONG AGO that night…makes me laugh they been blogging here to I found out its all there in print at there forum! LOL…..its hilarious
Pics,
How about a clue
Good Morning All.
Hi Paw and Ms Columbo and Lock
Hiya Tori.
Paw,
Are you still in GA and how are your parents?
Morning PAW!!
Tori tom that is your clue.
Who cares what others think? I don’t care what others say about me. Until they walk in my shoes and pay my bills, it makes no difference what others think or say about me.
Oh well Pick. I wrote back and then refreshed before I sent it and it went to cyber space. These people have no clue. do you know what name they have been blogging on here. I need to ask Jan to give you my email addy. They think that you were drunk. That is almost funny. They must be jealous and trying to make their forum as good as this one. It is the bloggers hearts that make a blog good or bad. I do know that people come here to read good articles about these children. Good honest info. Do I need to email Jan and ask her to give you my email? Jan if you are hear when you get time please give Pick my email. Thanks
MsColumbo I dont care I forgot all about it….a long time ago….its funny how some ppl will attach to something and dramatize it for there whole existance is all I was saying
Lock put in a email forward request to jannyo@gmail.com !
Yep, I’m still a peach lol
and my parents are doing alright.
Sorry Tori, Good morin to you. I was going off and forgot to say hi. Ms. Columbo good moring and I agree with you. Do they really think that we care what they think. As far as Pick being drunk it is almost funny because she dose not drink. Just shows how dumb that they are. I have never been associated with so many people who have hearts of gold that really care about others. Most here give of their heart and time. We are not here to fullfil a sick need to bash anyone.
Lock they dont know me or us they can kiss my butt!
Thanks Pick.
I mean honestly they dont have any clue about us. I dont care how much they read. They act like children over there. They are literally rude to 99% of those who find them. Its not cool at all. They openly accuse new comers of being us or some other dude specially if you dont slam Ron and Misty if you are at all in support of them they attack you bad.
I am waiting to hear what Jen-Knee has to say. I will be passing through Satsuma in late June and want to know what I have to look forward to.
She got pictures!! I CANT WAIT im going apy!
Your going to Satsuma too! Neat!! She says its a hole in the wall with lots of woods.
Yes, Ms Pickles I will be going that way and combining a vacation with some family business. I thought I would drop by that town and see what all is going on.
Sorry you guys.. my company is doing our annual inventory and I won’t bee here much this week at all.
MsColumbo, Satsuma is alot of dirt roads with mobile homes spread out… woods and more woods. No walmart, walgreens, cvs.. Just a little corner store named Kangaroo! I visited that store several times.. lol
I missed the blue crab festival in palatka because we drove to St. Augustine
I wasn’t a happy camper on Sunday!
No craby you coulda met Cobra!
I know Pick! I was pushing early afternoon to leave St. Augustine to head to Palatka but when we got back @ 4pm it was already raining and no one wanted to get wet
I was made at my other half because he didn’t want to go without his family!
I woulda been all cut the apron strings we goin! I gots to meet Cobra!
Rain or shine…my GPS navigation system on my brand new loaded 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will find it’s way to 202 Green Lane and more!!!!!!
Rain or shine!! Thats what we say out this way…normly its rain ! So get your webbed feet out!
Jen did you see anyone around the house? Could you tell if anyone had moved in?
No, no one around, no cars, no planters in the front..
Pickles, how can I find the pics of crystal you mentioned on the broadcast yesterday?
The pics of Crystal you say umm….well okie doke hold on I am going to post a link and they should be on the myspace page if there still up…See I seen Sandra Cantus mother at vigils and she was distraught no make up no hair done nothing NO SMILES these pics are well I think there strange…one said just got makeup done for the show….I just think that if my kid was missing I wouldnt give a rats behind about my makeup and hair for a vigil …not my first priority..
here is the link

Jen-knee, how far to any good restaurants? I’m not into “iced-tea”. Should I pack my cooler?
Hey folks, Art Harris has updated his latest blog about Cobra’s arrest. Pretty interesting read.
there is nothing in Satsuma MsColumbo, you will have to drive 20-25 mins to palatka which is the nearest town. but palatka does have a few fast food places and national chain restaurants. No city water so get use to the smell of egg water!
Jen-knee…oh nooooooo!!! I will be packing bottled water. Thanks for the tip!!!!
yes pack plenty of water.. lol Satsuma doesn’t have city water and most don’t even have salt in their softner system. Makes the water smell like boiled eggs and it’s kinda brown. I refused to wash my hair because I didn’t want to smell like an egg all day.
Sorry Jen-knee, I don’t blame you. I would not have washed my hair either. Rotten eggs is as bad as skunk.
Good Morning everyone…
Been checking out sites. I would say someone just got thrown under the bus!
good morning all.
Good Morning ksue. Not sure where everyone ran off too.
its hard telling. iwas up early this morning (bout) 5:00am e-mailing the news stations. i gigured if they seen them early id have some kind of anwser. no luck.
Emailing news stations? Why?
trying to get haliegh back in the news media. i gigure getting her face up agian might jolt someones memory. just a thought.
It is worth a try. Seems like media has gotten very quiet.
and aslo to be quit honest. iasled them to dig into why the le are dragging butt when a 5yr old is missing. i told the news if they wanted more of story to e-mail me. im not backing down regardless, i know ive had alot of bad mouths bad mouth me but oh well.
I bet they get all kinds of emails so don’t get discouraged if they do not email you back personally.
Guess everyone left to do other things. I am going to do some more surfing and will catch everyone later, I hope.
Cya and have a great day!
What news orgs are you emailing ksue?
I’ve emailed some too.
Hi, Marla: Re your 10:37 am. What sites? What case? I’m lost.
m2c,
And who got thrown under the bus?
m2c. A press person, within this circle, has updated a story about a certain bondsman on their site. I could be wrong, but I get the impression that they are no long on the bondman’s side?
fox news, cnn, hln, and nbc. im getting ready to e-mail ng too. im going to let her know she should be ashamed of herself for not staying on top of this. i dont like the lady personally, but she sees right through the best of them.
Ksue: That’s good. I’ve been emailing the local news orgs.
Thank you, Marla! I’m not good at puzzles but I will try! LOL!
i have my local too, but havent heard a word back. my hubby seems to think they contacted le down there and they might have said to put a stop to it.
Hi everyone. I don’t want to change the subject - when you get time today, google news Mike Tyson.
His daughter is in extremely critical condition. It will be of interest to you if you have a treadmill and small children.
There are so many dangers to be aware of.
______
The boxing bad boy’s 4-year-old daughter, Exodus Tyson, is currently on life support after getting her neck tangled in a cord from a treadmill in her Phoenix home Monday.
hey I’m back, hey capy!!!
I did go an read about tysons daughter and i couldn’t imagine hwo this could have happened?
a cable?
ksue: I didn’t mean my local. I email the news organizations closest to the disappearance.
Hey, I am back for a bit. Did you guys see where a poster named Ava stated on Art’s blog that she was welcomed into the Cummings home with open arms?
Pammy, to me it basically sounds like the same kind of danger that drapery cords and blind cords and electrical cords can pose for little ones.
What I don’t understand. Why would you leave the room with the treadmill running? Otherwise, how would she get tangled in the cord?
Yes Marla, I saw that. I was wondering if she was with the press or something. She didn’t say.
MsColumbo, you are right. She did seem to say it was down home hospitality and got to know them quite well.
It looks like about lunch time so I will return later. Bye for now.
Marla, little kids can get tangled up in a cord and not be able to get it unwound from their neck. If she was playing around the machine and the cord was dangling it could happen whether the machine was running or not.
That’s why part of “child proofing” a home is putting up drapery cords out of reach and taping down electrical cords.
Marla,
I read that post from Ava and nearly threw up.
Thanks m2c. I just found a story on foxnews and this is what it states:
“Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console — it’s kind of a loop,” Hill said. “Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it.”
Ron,
A southern gentleman? Lord help the south!
lol tori - sounded like a story out of a book on old time southern hospitality.
could almost hear that soutern draw too!
Sorry, I am bad!
New book title: “Wanna Be Southern Belle Ava Visits the Cummings Plantation”
I am sorry, just a little fiesty today.
Enough said…I am out of here for awhile. I hope I didn’t upset anyone. cya.
Grrrr
bbiab! ♥
Marla I dont think you upset anyone! I think your cool anyways..
♥
Marla,
It’s hard to imagine Ron as Rhett Butler and Misty in her Old South dress and gloves fanning herself on the veranda.
SO WHATS NEW MY FAMILY? BEEN OFF E-MAILING MY BUTT OFF. awe crap i was writing big.lol. aint going back now. lol. i wrote a good one to ng. hope she gets on it after all i told her she was suppose to be an advocate for children. and i wrote a few more goodys to.
Hi, Marl! Unless “Ava” is here, I doubt you offended anyone. I have not found that comment - I’m terrible at (1) finding other sites at all and (2) if I find it then finding the right article/comment! LOL! But from what you’ve said it sounds like “Ava” has a great imagination and probably her favorite movie is Gone With the Wind! Don’t you think?
The other part of real southern hospitality, in my experience, is that you don’t show up at someone’s door empty-handed. I wonder if Ava took some of her leftover prescriptions or some homemade “cookies” with special herbs? LOL!
Hey Ksue…been busy here also.
There is a statistic of kids who get tangled up in mini blind cords also and strangulate themselves
i just left a post on arts site asking him to check into that post,and also told him i was upset that he never made any rebuttadle on it. i told him if he doesnt there will be another show and ill call him out on it. i hated to do it, but cobra aint getting hung out to dry on my watch. i told art i didnt care if he keep in moderation id get him on it one way or another.
that and bed sheets. terrible. regardless what a parent has done their children shouldnt suffer.
What you talking about? Bedsheets?? I have been busy I lost.
a kid a 1 yr or so ago hung hisself with a bed sheet. he got tangled in one and he hung his self. it got wrapped around the head board and hung him. sad very sad. thtas why when my grandbabies are here i get up at night and check on them. getting very little sleep doing so.
Oh thats terrible…just terrible….My gosh.
Spacely?
did anyone know that le could charge ron with child neglect and that would give dcfs more of a leg to stand on?
did anyone know that le could charge ron with child neglect and that would give dcfs more of a leg to stand on?
They could? I know that leaving his kids with a girl as wasted as Misty is a huge error in judgement that definetly needs to be checked on. For sure.
i left that bit of imformation with ng in a e-mail to her. lets see if that starts the fire under her butt.lol.
could you get me the names of the higher up people down there, so that i can start getting something done about dcfs and le?
Higher up ppl?
Call Putnam County DCFS and uhhh Greenwood its LT. Greenwood of Putnam Co. Sheriffs.
thank you. i hate to even call the le down there. i think you know how i feel about them.
Hi just stopping by again to see what’s new, if anything. Gotta catch up on the previous posts.
i know im not god, but someone has to stand up and say enough is enough. there are more children involed in this other than haliegh and jr.
Hi MsColumbo!
Ksue I know it I feel that way every day….
