We have a very busy lineup this coming weekend.
On Friday Sept 18 at Noon central, 1pm eastern we will be putting on a special update about the Haleigh Cummings case. My guest is TJ Hart of The Sky 97.3 and we will be having a one-on-one discussion about this weeks events. The fire seems to be increasing in intensity in both the Croslin and Cummings camps. Misty’s older brother Tommy Croslin remains behind bars in Putnam County facing a theft charge concerning a hand gun. With Bond set at $50,004 it seems unlikely that he will be going anywhere fast. This development is an interesting one. While police are publicly saying that this arrest has nothing to do with the search for Haleigh Cummings, I know that there are some behind the scenes rumblings to the contrary.
Last night father Ronald Cummings made yet another ‘yawner’ of an appearance on HLN’s Nancy Grace show. Quite honestly CNN should have saved the expense of booking a studio, it was a complete waste of time and money. Even Ms. Grace seemed to be having a hard time keeping her temper in check. Misty Croslin meanwhile seems to be laying low. As TJ put it, there are so many Croslin’s throwing themselves under the bus, they are getting tangled up around the axle!
The link to this Haleigh Cummings special update is here.
On Saturday Sept 19 at Noon central I will be running a special update on the Adam Tavss story out of Miami Beach Florida. In a four day period in June Miami Beach PD officer Adam Tavss killed two unarmed men. Last weekend CNN ran a segment on the story that was completely spun in favor of Adam Tavss. The families of the deceased men are outraged. We will be hearing from them, and also attorney John Contini. For more information on this program please read this article. This story has not received the media attention it deserves. I hope to change that.
The link to the program can be found here.
On Sunday Sept 20 at 3pm central, 4pm eastern we will be running our weekly call in talk radio program about the Haleigh Cummings case. We will have our regular panel, and as always will be taking your questions and comments. Incidentally for the past several months this show has consistently been on the top five most popular radio programs aired on Blog Talk radio, many weeks it is the #1 News program.
The link to the Haleigh Cummings Update can be here.
To tune into any of our upcoming programs point your web browser to www.blogtalkradio.com a few minutes prior to the start of the program, BNN is a featured host so you will see the listen live link on the front page.
I hope that you will be able to join us for these three very interesting programs.
You can bet your bottom dollar that we will have the hottest news updates on the search for Haleigh Cummings.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt really is too bad the Ronald could not have worn such nice attire as he did last night from rent a suit then he did at his wedding to the child bride- I mean who knew Wife beaters were so tres chic? Ron Cummings was so high on NG last night I bet his Lawyer had to take him in the bathroom to a baby changing table and dress him-
Can they lock this loser up please?
Simon, Thank you for all your work with this story & keeping us posted, much appreciated.
Viva, didn’t you know he is rich now with all this money coming in? Hahaaaaaaaa.
Pathetic.
whats NG?
ng nancy grace – ccn news
This case is about a beautiful missing child, Haleigh Cummings.
Has Ron Cummings been married more than once for Viva to call him a wife beater, or is this statement coming from a scorned ex who never became a wife? In any event, this has nothing to do with finding Haleigh.
God Bless Haleigh.
a wife beater is a type of tank top (t-shirt)
FYI:
“Wife beaters” are merely a type of shirt that Ron has been seen wearing.
Wife beater refers to a style of T shirt….Ron looked great on NG last night too bad his time was cut short, keep up the good work reporting on this case. I, and many others, appreciate it. The truth will come out soon, it’s time for little Haleigh to come home.
cjewert you owe me a coke.
Ron looked great last night? Wth? Is Nancy Grace a fashion show now? His suit was ill fitting, the sleeves ran past his hands, I think it was his attorney’s suit he had on. His face resembled the cold mug of a certain Hitler style and all he could mutter was a constant and repetitive “I dunno” and somehow the public is suppose to give a rip on how he looked? The old saying bears true, you can put lipstick on a pig, but RC is still a pig.
He certainly gets my vote for worst father of the year, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and so on. He did nothing to help find Haleigh and only impeded an investigation time and time again. He makes me sick.
Good job Simon, keep pushing on with finding Haleigh, eventually the truth will come out and then we can listen to how hot he looks in his orange jumpsuit with his ankle cuffs as an accessory.
It’s getting hot in the kitchen…
I agree with Simon. Why was Ron even on the show? T.J. Hart got bumped for a bunch of, I don’t know Miss Nancy’s. What a waste of time imvho.
There again,
His new attire would be what I would expect for someone to wear in a court of law and I don’t know most likely = reserving his right to remain silent.
He appeared well groomed.
jmo
Well, maybe misty needs to start acting like a big girl, cleaning house, dusting and cleaning the walls just everything, scrubing floors on her hands and knees, have her up at six and cooking every meal, washing dishes, and she knows how to do launry, huh? with detergent? and that clean washed clothes go into the dryer.. no fun with friends, hanging out, and she can go out to the yard and do a bit of mowing. Two weeks, and she will begin to show her colors.. Especially, if Grandma Sykes sets there with a fly swatter, and keeps the tart on the go..
Does anyone know where the hell wifey’s statement is ???
Why clean the house when you have people coming in doing it for you.
Again… (rolls eyes).
That makes me wonder what they are doing? Ron doesn’t have a job, does he? Or Misty? Does Granny Sykes? THey sit around together all day? Or maybe ggma is giving Misty some housecleaning lessons. And poor Junior. Does he go to daycare or is he cooped up with all those people, too?
He is behind this and “Miss Nancy” keeps him on the show to pick’em. Your dtr is missing and u never know ANYTHING!! “I DUNNO”. Like I’ve said before he’s behind this. If my child was missing I would be in tears anytime I spoke about her he can’t cry bcuz his eyes are so damn bloodshot. And every time you see his lil wifey she’s puffing a damn cigarette she’s a nervous wreck she’ll crack soon and admit how this was all Ronnies idea.
I’ve been following this case from the beginning, and analyzing the audio of Ron & Misty for what is known as Reverse Speech. To be brief Reverse Speech is messages from our unconscious mind embedded backward into our speech. This can be heard by reversing a recording, and amongst the gibberish the reversals can be found.
According to the reverse speech of Ron & Misty they are not involved with, nor do they know who abducted Haleigh.
Misty has talked about how her brother Tommy could have abducted Haleigh, but she has speech reversals that indicate why she believes her cousin “Joe” did abduct her.
It’s been reported that the police believe Misty is not telling everything she knows, but her reverse speech indicates she is. I have found reverse speech from Capt. Piscitello of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office from an interview he did with TJ Hart on 8-27-09. In one of his reversals he indicates law enforcement believes the abductor to be a blood relative of Misty, and that is why they think she is holding out on information in order to protect that person.
Misty’s reversals indicate that if she were certain who abducted Haleigh, she would not with hold information no matter who it was.
I currently have reverse speech examples of people surrounding this case that not only includes Misty, Ron, Capt. Piscitello, but also Jerry Snider, TJ Ward, Marie Griffis, and Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch.
From what I have found so far is that Speech reversal is a relatively untested new age concept, from what I have learned about it from the internet anyway. I am admittedly not familiar with it. Is this speech reversal technique accepted and utilized as a research and investigative tool by law enforcement? It is very interesting and I wonder if there are any legitimate documented testing and/or case studies examples that can be accessed for a look see?
ShawnHS,
I have read a bit about reverse speech analysis and it is fascinating. I read on one of the forums an analysis (perhaps it was done by you) that both Misty & Ron were not involved.
I do wonder, especially with the newest developments of late, if one of Misty’s relatives could be involved. It’s a scary thought.
You said that you have reverse speech examples from some of the people in the case. I’m wondering if you would be willing to share your work with us? I think this area of study is quite fascinating. Like I said, when I first heard about it, I did a bunch of reading on the topic and would love to know what your work has showed if you would be willing.
Thank you so much.
TuffStuff, here is a site that tells a bit about reverse speech that I had bookmarked:
(I hope this is allowed)
“Other uses for Reverse Speech put forward include employers using it as a employee selection tool, lawyers in deposition analysis, law enforcement in the investigation of crimes, and reporters for analysing politicians’ speeches. ”
http://www.reversespeech.com/medical.htm
Ok lets call him a woman beater for goodness sake.Anyway you call it he is an abuser.A control freak,user,jerk,and possibly a killer,he also neglects his children, endangers his children, among many other things he is.In short he is nothing.He Maybe a leader of a theft gang and drug ring,that is about to be blown out of the woods.It would not be a bit surprising if that is what this is all about and the child just got in the way.To many what ifs.What a work of art he is making a fool of himself on national TV.Druggie he is and his little girl is still missing,he should be so ashamed of his self.God please take care of that sweet little girl(Haleigh).Al those other stories I can’t watch,Haleigh is all I want to hear about till it ends.Don’t know her personally but I love her.
Oh one more thing,is it possible that Hank Jr.,has nothing to do with any of it?He is just a theft,loser,a big zero.What else would Ron hang with?
J,
I had found that same link. Very interesting stuff. I am wondering what type of testing was done to prove the validity and actual value of the outcomes of these tests. Could be random results for all I know.
???
Here is a link to some of cases I’ve been following, as well as miscellaneous reverse speech examples, and how some of the cases have proven accurate regarding reverse speech. One in particular where it has come to conclusion is the case with Sam Parker, who was found guilty of murdering his wife earlier this month. His reverse speech indicated he did kill her, and other things were validated with testimonies. I documented this more than a year ago: http://www.backwardstate.com/backward_state_website_003.htm
You’ll find all the reverse speech examples from people I previously mentioned under the Haleigh Cummings link on the “examples” page.
David J. Oates Discovered reverse speech more than 25 yrs. ago so it is not a new age untested concept.
Here of some more related articles on the subject from David Oates site;
http://www.reversespeech.com/forensic.htm
http://www.reversespeech.com/trackrec.htm
http://www.reversespeech.com/study.htm
ShawnH;
I used audacity and found some interesting reversals from Misty’s hypnosis session. During the part where she says “Airbuds, they watch it over and over and over” if you reverse it she seems to say “You’re a wh*re, you’re a wh*re, you’re a wh*re…..shouting it, shouting it!” I believe this may be the fight that was told about from 8:30 pm the night Haleigh disappeared. I have plans to anylize all of that session, plus some of Ron’s recent NG appearances. If you would, please listen to the section I described.
Hollys g-mom,
I have reviewed that session, and the results I’ve found are posted on my site. The audio in that section you’re referencing is terrible. Throughout the interview it sounds like there was a fan blowing on the microphone. Because the audio is so bad in that section the best I believe I might hear as a reversal is “I would shout it (at)”. This occurs when she says “[They watched. They watched Air]bud. [ ] are where the reversal occurs. If that is correct, I would guess that reversals means she might have complained to them, or even yelled at them, about watching it so many times.
An article from David Oates site on how to find genuine speech reversals: http://www.reversespeech.com/hear.htm
People are more than welcome to believe what they like – psychics, crystal balls, fortune cookies, dreams, whatever. But please don’t tell us that Reverse Speech has been “tested,” giving the impression that it has received any respect or credence from any legitimate linquistic or scientific organization. It has not. Oates hypes his reverse speech nonsense (IMO) to sell his own books.
Folks, before you fall for this, please look it up on some independent sites where you’ll find information like:
“Oates’ work has been described as “dangerous” because of its potential for misuse and the likelihood of leading to false accusations of people in criminal courts.”
And. . .
“Most academics in the field of linguistics have not paid attention to Oates’ work and it has been called a pseudoscience. For the most part, universities and research institutes have refused to test Oates’ theories because of a lack of theoretical basis to make his predictions even worth testing, and the fact that many of his claims are untestable but one of the few scientific experiments to evaluate Oates’ claims did not support his findings. Others have criticized “reverse speech” as lacking a rigorous methodology and not being informed by an understanding of issues in linguistics,and characterized Oates as “more interested in making a profit than educating others,” pointing out the large amount of merchandise and services his website sells. Reverse speech has been compared to thecontroversial field (labelled a pseudoscience by some) of neuro-linguistic programming. Because of the “dogmatic” tone of Oates’ material, reverse speech has been compared to “fringe literature.”
Oates’ own claims about the applications of reverse speech have also been challenged. One report has questioned whether reverse speech was ever really used in police work, as Oates claimed. Likewise, his claim that reverse speech has applications in psychology and psychotherapy is not supported by mainstream research in those fields.”
As I said, everyone is welcome to believe what they want but I’d like to see newcomers to this topic get all the information possible.
m2c, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Thank you for taking the time to research that & posting it here. There have been enough questionable tests in this case without amateurs getting into another with no credibility. treece
M2c,
First off I have an independent site where one CAN find information on the subject of reverse speech! AND there are many other independent sites that document reverse speech.
Wow! you copied and pasted the writings of an anonymous person from Wikipedia, who I doubt ever spent any time actually investigating the phenomena. Wikipedia isn’t exactly known to have factual articles posted. Funny you should bring this article up though. Because I just recently started a thread on David Oates forum about the fountain of mis-information this highly biased article spews out, and what can be done to set the track record straight. It seems those at Wikipedia make it difficult to make corrections, so one can only wonder what forces are at work to hide the truth about the validity and accuracy of reverse speech.
A quote from David J. Oates on my thread about the Wikipedia page; “Wikipedia allows you to make your own alterations to the page which I did a couple of years ago only to find that they had removed my alterations, and changed the page altogether to what it is now.”
So why is it that information form the person who discovered reverse speech and has spent more than 25 yrs. researching, and documenting the phenomena isn’t allowed to present any of his findings?
For you to latch on to the, at best laughable, information on Wikipedia as “information” then you have obviously haven’t spent anytime reading the articles I posted as reference as actual results that have been proven to be factual in regards to the validity and accuracy of reverse speech.
So folks (as M2C says), before you fall for this “information” M2C has provided, I encourage you to do your own research from people that have actually documented reverse speech, and learn from them.
Oh, and by the way. To set the record straight in reference to your first quotation from Wikipedia. That cam from an article from the Skeptical Inquirer, written by authors who have never investigated the phenomena. So for those would like to “get all the information possible”, you can read an article in response to the Skeptical Inquirer entitled – An Analysis Of Unresearched Blithering – at this link: http://www.reversespeech.com/skeprespon.htm
Treece,
Speaking of questionable tests. TJ Ward claimed in an interview that his “Layered Voice Analysis” test is 95% accurate. But isn’t it interesting that he doesn’t make his results available for public scrutiny? The results of his reverse speech analysis show that his program is highly subjective, let’s call it 95%, and he is indicating he has an adgenda which doesn’t involve finding the truth.
Below is an example of reverse speech from TJ Ward. The [ ] are where the reversal occurs. And here is the link for the audio where I DO make the results available for public scrutiny; http://www.backwardstate.com/im_the_lie_that_planted_her_with_this.mp3
Reporter:
What were the results of Misty’s voice test?
TJ Ward:
She had a lot of false statements and inaccuracies for what she was talked about as to the events from February the ninth and [into February the tenth 2009] in regards to be the custodian over Haleigh Marie Cummings while she was at home.
Reverse: I’m the lie that planted her with this.
Is there much question as to what he means by his reversal? He is saying that Misty “had a lot of false statements and inaccuracies”, but his reversals indicates HE is the one that is lying, and HE is the one that has labeled Misty as lying. If his program is 95% accurate shouldn’t the program be the determining factor in truth, or “false statements and inaccuracies” and not him?
shanwHS, wow!! that is wild!!! I listened to it twice and it is scary. I guess I am too old for this stuff. I say, lock the one in question in a room with Cobra, TJ and a taser and let them DISCUSS it. ha ha ha
No seriously, I want to see our system work here, doing it on the right side of the law.
Sorry, ShanWHS – I knew I’d get dinged for the wikipedia quote but I was in a hurry this morning.
I’ve seen references to this reverse speech recently and did not say anything until your “it’s been tested” statement. Tested by whom? I’m sure you have “independent” sites – I didn’t mean independent of BNN (or even of Wikipedia!) LOL! I mean OBJECTIVE and professional scientific/linguistic analysis.
All I’m recommending is that the readers here look into this seriously before deciding if they want to believe in it or not.
Obviously to me, reverse speech’s relation to reality lies somewhere south of reading tea leaves. But each to his/her own (as long as no one is duped in the process)
oh, and folks if you do conduct research on reverse speech as ShanWHS said in criticizing widipedia as a source- WATCH WHO THE SOURCE IS!
If it’s Oates, then obviously he’s got an agenda – he dreamed this up! And if it’s his “followers” then question them and their methods. That’s why I suggested independent objective sources which are at least nationally recognized authorities in linguistics and science and psychology. So always check the source of what you are reading! (LOL!)
Treece,
You’re never to old to learn something new!
I want to see the system work too. But if itincludes people like TJ Ward and his “layered voice analysis”, and the polygraph examiners that are portraying Misty as lying, but don’t have to make their claims be held to public scrutiny, it makes me nuts when RS is indicating a different story. These tests are being touted as being accurate that Misty is lying. Her RS indicates she is being truthful. Believe me, if her results of RS indicated otherwise I would be the first to stand on the mountain top and shout it out.
There is a lot of pressure being put on her because of these alleged results of polygraph’s, and layered voice analysis to tell about something her RS indicates she doesn’t know anything about. I just hope, as a seventeen yr. old, she is mentally strong enough to endure it all.
M2C,
How is it obvious that Oates has an agenda? and just what would that be specifically?
You seem to be hell bent on demonizing reverse speech without merit. What could be your agenda?
You said “…And if it’s his “followers” then question them and their methods..” If that is a shot at me, let me reiterate that I AM an independent source. FYI – I had been documenting and researching EVP for reverse speech for 3 yrs, before I was even aware that the phenomena of RS existed in humans too.
Explain why you believe someone has to be a linguist, scientist, or psychologist to locate and understand the audio from Reverse Speech?
Doubtful you’ll read this, but here is a link to an article from a linguist who has a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics, and has studied phonetics and phonology. He is also a certified Reverse Speech Analyst. The article is entitled Linguistic Analysis Of Some Reversals: http://www.reversespeech.com/linguist.htm

Porcelain, hopefully, prayerfully, this will some
day soon be resolved and we will know some truth
and Haleigh will have some justice. But we don’t
know that Misty is guilty of anything. Why refer to her as an “illiterate tramp”? She MAY be the biggest victim here. For her to have quit
school so young there had to be a number of adults at fault. JMO
I moved this here so you will know that I haven’t tried & convicted Misty. My thoughts are she could be guilty of something but she could be a victum also. Another time, I said,
that IF she is innocent here it is terrible all the extra stress she has been under from le, media and people who already have her guilty.
Wow, speech reversal. Sounds like the old myth of playing KISS backwards to reveal satanic chants. Too bad by the time you hit 14 you are smart enough to know it is bull. Just because some guy has done it for 25 years and sometimes what he thinks he hears in the parts he chooses to listen to end up being somewhat accurate, does not make it a science.
Scientology has also been around for a long time, that doesn’t mean I am going to start preparing myself for the the return of the aliens.
At the end of the day, what if’s don’t matter.
Wikipedia – reliable? Anyone can go in and change the articles. Or has that changed?
I will withhold my comments regarding TJ Ward.
I didn’t see ShawnHS say backwards speech analysis will break this case. S/he said it is something that should be looked into.
Has anyone actually looked into the statistics related to Layered Voice Analysis, I wonder?
“Still, while many governmental investigative, military and law enforcement agencies have expressed an eagerness to find a credible new means of lie detection, study after study has failed to yield strong scientific evidence in support of this technology. Over the last 30 years other researchers outside of the government have also researched voice stress for lie detection, and published their findings in scientific journals. The general conclusion has been that the accuracy is less than 50%.”
http://hnspolygraph.com/voicestress.php
Mariesilk,
In regards to your “KISS” example, I don’t know that KISS intentionally put words into their songs in reverse, but I know the Beatles did and a couple of other bands. That is known as backmasking and has nothing to do with the natural phenomena of reverse speech.
Skepticism can be a good thing, but when people refuse to do a little research it then turns into pessimism.
While we’re on the subject, reverse speech does occur in songs naturally, and there are many examples that can be found with a simple internet search. I found a reversal in a song on a girl named Anna who at the time was recovering from autism. she is singing the song I Wish. Here is the link to the You Tube Video I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssS2RCSyqms
If you were to do a little research on the subject of reverse speech you will find David Oates is not the only one providing examples. Who knows you might even “sometimes” hear a reverse speech example yourself.
J,
I applaud your efforts to do some research!
I previously did some brief research on the Layered Voice Analysis 6.50 from the company that manufactures the software program. Where TJ Ward makes a claim of 95% accuracy, the company makes no specific claims, but does use wording for one to believe it is accurate. No examples that I could find to support any claims. But again, my research was brief.
Firstcoastnews.com is reporting on a current pond search near satsuma not far from Ron and mistys home. It seems as if they have heavy duty equipment and pumps for draining the pond. Rumours in the comments section by some locals say some possible evidence has been found. The first coast reports states Ronald said he did not think he’d be the first contacted — or something strange like that.
ShanWHS –
As I said, people are entitled to believe what they want. I only spoke up when you said it was “tested” and may have given some readers the impression that reverse speech has any kind of credibility at all (even of the level of lie detector tests which are not reliable enough for use in court or voice stress tests).
I am not here to debate reverse speech. It is a waste of my time and something I am not at all interested in OTHER THAN to help prevent people from getting sucked in to it without doing their own research.
For me to discuss this with you would be like debating whether or not there is validity to reading a crystal ball. I don’t think so. But some people do. And that’s fine – just as long as the crystal ball readers don’t come on here and try to act like it’s verified valid or “tested” in the sense of being worth considering – especially in a criminal case where it can be downright dangerous – talk about rumor-mongering! What a great excuse to base a rumor on! “Well, he/she SAID THAT” (backwards) LOL!
Have a great time! Enjoy! Just don’t mislead people please. That’s all I ask.
Weird?! Twice now you mention “test” the only time I have brought that up is in regards to the Layered Voice Analysis “test”. But since you keeping bringing it up. How about explaining why Electroencephalograph (EEG) “tests” have shown that brain activity alters significantly when Reverse Speech occurs.
I notice you have failed to previously answer my other questions, so I really don’t expect you to have an explanation for the results of EEG “tests”.
ShanwHS, I think M2c has read all he wants to know about this subject. He has read enough to decide that the limited amount of testing on this subject leaves it as a theory not a fact. That is an ok place to be, a theory that still needs more testing for actual proof. IMO he is just cautioning people to do a little research for themselves. Past that I think you just need to agree to disagree with him and not take what he says as personal. I certainly believe that his heart is in the right place with this. That he is not attacking you, just warning others to investigate it. Hope you have a good day. Treece
