I was contacted this morning by Captain Dominic Piscitello of the PCSO. They are receiving a high volume of tips and leads in the search for missing 6 year old Haleigh Cummings, many of these tips are coming in through E-mail. Unfortunately they are being sent to many different E-mail accounts, and often are going through various hands before getting to the Haleigh team.
To alleviate this problem and streamline the flow of information Capt, Piscitello asks that all E-mail leads and tips be sent to haleigh@putnamsheriff.org This account will be closely monitored and will ensure that information gets to the right people with the minimum of delay.
Haleigh Cummings has been missing for over 8 months, she was last seen on February 10 in Satsuma, Florida. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Haleigh is encouraged to contact either Crime Stoppers or the PCSO.

Thank you Simon. The faster the info can get in the right hands the better the chance of Haleigh being found.
There does not seem to be too much progress on this case. Isn’t it time they jailed that POS Misty for any number of charges and get her talking already ? She knows what happened to little Haleigh. Why not arrest all the lowlife druggies, ( Croslins, Cummings and friends ) and see which one will spill it first ?
Anyone watch maury today. its good they set up a line for haleigh hopefully people wont play around like they have been and we can get some real tips
They never paid any attention to tip by email or phone before so why the turn around.
Sharpvisions – That is not a true statement. They follow up on all tips. To date that is over 4000. All that Capt. Piscitello is trying to do is streamline the process.
PCSO do not share a great deal of information with the press. And that is not such a bad thing. It is frustrating at times, and at times we get grumpy with them, and I am sure (know) that they get grumpy with us.
But I do know that every tip is looked at and evaluated, every tip that has merit is investigated.
Thank you Simon for being on the right side-I’ve never doubted all of you, including LE has done their best. Bless you.
Ashberry I saw Maury today. I saw more emotion from Ron than throughout this case began. It was very brief.
I believe this is a good idea to streamline the tips. Perhaps now they can recieve them faster and bring Haleigh home
SLIGHTLY OFF THE SUBJECT, BUT I CAN ONLY HAVE ADMIRATION FOR THE MOTHER OF SOMER THOMPSON WHOSE BODY WAS FOUND AND IDENTIFIED TODAY. BOTH THE CUMMINGS AND ESPECIALLY THE ANTHONYS HAVE MUCH TO LEARN FROM THIS WOMAN.
Somer Thompson’s mother is amazing. I kind of think the Cummings are doing the best they know how, but the Anthonys are nuts.
Ash berry — You and I both used to live in Jax – I just realized where Somer lived, and have gone by there many times.
When I Somer’s mom, I instantly thought, this is such a brave, composed, focused woman.
I hope the PCSO searched the county landfill 8 months ago, I know that is not a very optimistic thing to say, but no stone should be left unturned.
they need to check pond behind that double wide again. I have felt from day one, she could be there. please check again. its worth a try. it can’t hurt to do it again.
Polly,
Sheriff Hardy says that the landfill was searched:
“Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy said during the first few days of the investigation that deputies also searched landfills, which is how Somer was found Wednesday.”

Very interesting article!
here is a link to a story talking about the procedure relating to the garbage searches carried out when Haleigh was reported missing. Funny this is only being released now. I see it is linked above, but it explains how the garbage from Putnam was dumped in a different area and searched after Haleigh went missing.
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=147059&catid=3
We don’t know what le is doing, so we should not be so quick to assume they aren’t doing their jobs. If we want to lay blame we can blame all those who were supposed to be watching over and caring for her and all those who have injected themselves into this case. Their behaviour since she went missing has done nothing but hinder le’s investigation. I don’t wonder at all why they are keeping a lid on details.
I really can’t say much tonight,as if Haleigh’s story wasn’t bad enough,the story of Somer just broke my heart,then I read about a 18th month old little girl that a 56yr. old man or so,having sexual relation with her.Have been sick of heart and my stomach.What has happen to people to make them so crazy and mean?I can’t stop crying.My self I have come to love Haleigh and have never met her.But am so scared to know what happen to her.I wish there was something that could be done to stop all this crazy stuff from happening.
I just got back from lurking on another site and GOD are some sooo willing to give Misty every break! She and 2 friends went to buy pills from a drug dealer within a low-rent housing complex. (Ever seen the brave one? If not, check it out, it IS very real to life) If what I am proposing is true then it would stand to reason that someone saw them before they ever got out of the car. This same someone may have identified Misty early on as well. They let them “buy” the drugs/pills then attack them as they are leaving. Why? Think about this. Now they have the money for the pills, but also they have any other money the 3 of them still had PLUS they would get thier drugs back again.
ANother thing that comes to mind is this:
Misty may have been “playing around” with one of these men the night Haleigh disappeared. We don’t know for sure on way or the other, but if so he might have been sending a warning. From what I’ve seen about drug dealers they would be SOOOO PIZZZZED that Misty showed her face at thier “establishment” they would beat her. She is being watched by LE and a lot of other people by niw. The LAST thing they would want is for her to come poking around in their playpen. I’m sure they never thought that she would report it to the PO-PO but she had to.
WHy? Otherwise rumors would have started that Ron had abused her (bruises, scratches, ect). Wouldn’t we? I know that would be my first conclusion. Who’s to say that they didn’t make up this story of robbery to cover for Misty’s bruises. No one but the 3 involved gave a statement, the only evidence is a crushed pill bottle with a few pills in it. They could have pulled up there, got out, stomped the pill bottle, and drove off to LE with thier claim. We may never know for sure.
Hey Misty…..
Everyone knows that you are no longer under Ron’s protection.
It is no longer safe for you to do the things you are used to doing. Before they knew someone would seek retaliation, now everyone knows you are on your own. Do not keep conducting business as usual as you may not live long or if you survive you may wish you hadn’t.
I watched Maury today also,although I was pleased to see the emotion from Ron, I couldn’t help but think, what was different now from the other shows?
Awesome to hear about the tip line, maybe little Somers LE spurred these guy’s on..
Does anyone here feel Haleigh is a live somewhere? I find it odd no one has come forward for the reward, I’m sure they could make a deal with LE if it concerns drugs or something,maybe LE could offer a move and get help with a job or something, someone has to know something???
Hi, Just Curious!
I do not believe that Haleigh is alive. It has been over 8 months since she went missing. She had a history of medical problems which required doctors’ appointments and had a history of ER visits. Haleigh’s case has received national attention. As a result, I feel that a medical professional would have recognized her if she came in for medical treatment. She has two distinct birthmarks – on her face and her back. With her medical problems, I can not imagine her going 8 months without treatment.
LE has stated they feel this is not a “stranger” abduction. I think it was irresponsible for Ronald to leave his two children in the care of a 16 year old girl who apparently had (at the time) a drug problem. According to media reports, she was on a 3 day drug and sex “bender” just prior to Haleigh’s “disappearance”.
Misty was probably in a desperate need of drugs that night. Just depends if she had a drug addiction. Desperate people on drugs do irresponsible things and make bad decisions and/or choices for that next “fix”.
Also, she has a sixth grade education. Although she was 16, at the time, I wonder what her level of maturity was. I do feel she is street smart but I certainly would not entrust two small children to her care. Jr. (Butter Bean) did not go to school. I assume she took care of him when Haleigh was in school. If so, she had the responsibility of at least one child 24/7 and then 2 when Haleigh came home from school. I think she was “over her head” with the situation!
Depending on her illegal drug history, she might have a “black out” from the drugs and can not remember what happened. Some illegal drugs or long term use can fry the brain! Misty may have no recall! If this is a possibility, it is really sad and tragic.
Ronald is ultimately responsible because he had legal custody of Haleigh. It was his responsibility to ensure that his children were safe and being cared for by an adult and not a 16 year old cigarette chain smoking, druggie with a 6th grade education. Why weren’t his children in day care or being cared for by a responsible adult? In the videos I have seen, Ron and Misty are frequently smoking (except for formal TV appearances). I assume they did that in their home. I would think all that smoke would have really affected Haleigh’s health. Ron mentioned she had asthma. Cigarette smoke and asthma do not mix.
All of the aforementioned is just my opinion!
There seems to be something so odd about TN and Ronald suddenly acting so concerned about the Turner Syndrome on the Maury show. They have rarely ever mentioned it, before. Ronald has become very serious and very sad the last several months. He seemed so smirky earlier on with Duper’s Delight. There was a twinkle in his eyes, even. All of that seems gone, now. I don’t understand this case, there is somethings so odd about it. It is like a jumbled up mess with branches leading out in all directions and going nowhere. All of this is just my opinion.
To Just Curious
I do not think Haleigh is alive. Furthermore I do not think her remains will be recovered.
Where is IowaMom? I hope she is aware of this new email tip line and tries again to tell LE what she knows.
For those of you who missed it the first time. Please read this.
iowamom said,in October 19th, 2009 at 4:50 pm To Mylee,
You have hit on a subject that I have been talking about for 8 mos. Donald Lee Sapp. Convicted sex offender who likes little girls HaLeigh’s age and up. Recently arrested and jailed for trying to “connect” with a 13 yr. old girl he met on the internet. Not only is he related to Crystal (by marriage), he is also related to Misty (down the chain). He had the perfect opportunity (he was staying with Misty’s brother and SIL long enough to learn the habits of Misty and others around there)he knew she would be gone and maybe at her brother’s, he had time to go in and get HaLeigh unnoticed. He know’s the layout of the trailer (I think it was his father who owned and rented that trailer out before the new owner rented it to Ron, Donald had keys to it). I know Ron said he changed the locks but who knows if that is true. HaLeigh would not have been afraid of him (he was seen “playing” with her on a trampoline a day or two before she vanished). When LE pulled the Sex Offender Registry for that area he would not have come up as living in the area, he was registered at the time in Crescent City, even though he had been living with Misty’s brother and SIL in the same park as Ron and Misty for weeks (so no need for LE to look for him in the trailer park where HaLeigh vanished from). Donald was remodling the trailer he currently lives in with Billy (there is another story there, check out how her husband died who left her that trailer). When the dogs hit on the dumpster could it be because it contained remodling supplies that maybe he disposed of there from the VACANT trailer he was remodling, could he have taken HaLeigh there that night? If he carried her to the trailer he would go right by the railroad tracks where HaLeigh’s scent stopped. He had access to the van and to the keys, could have driven HaLeigh to his home in Crescent City and come back and parked the van(no DNA or evidence in HIS vehicle that way, no one would question HIS or HaLeigh’s DNA in the van, Misty said he did use the van once or twice)I corresponded with Misty and Ron shortly after this happened and when I asked Misty about him she said, “you know he was acting very strange after HaLeigh was taken” and “I am not for sure but he never was interviewed by the cops” (I still have the emails) Teresa Neves saw Donald Sapp “feeding alligators” something a few days afer HaLeigh vanished. I could go on and on and on with my theory of Donald Sapp, I have given all of it to PCSO, FDLE, FBI and put it out there on many different blogs hoping someone would jump on my bandwagon. To date I have no idea if he has been investigated or not, even after repeated emails to PCSO, FDLE and FBI. Hopefully I am wrong and she is alive and well living with someone who loves her and takes care of her until she can be found or someone decides enough is enough and brings her home…
i wish there was a basic fact sheet about sex predators to educate us all. something that is brief and to the point and includes where to find further information. it could be like an awareness letter of concern to pass around. we could e-mail and print it up our selves to give to everyone we know. put on the letter to please not throw out but pass it along to everyone they know. maybe even print up themselves and pass on like a chain letter. so the more people know about the problem or danger, the better the chance of changing how we deal with the predators in our society. hopefully for the better.
law shrink i thought you mentioned having info to pass out about child safety. do you know where we could get basic fact sheets on child safety, predators in our communities, and maybe a fact sheet on symptoms of child abuse. something that would be legal for us to pass around to say churches, doctors offices, hair salon’s, and/or at least to our family and friends.
it stuck in my mind, about lawshrink saying the difference between offenders and predators. maybe many of us don’t really understand who predators are.
if anyone has any ideas on how to spread info on subjects please share.
i am really tired right now, so maybe i am being just goofy, goofy, goofy. if so i apologize.
and one more thing. some of you here are so articulate, well thought out, smart and caring, maybe you could post an editorial on bnn. something about the above subjects, or about what it is like to be following what happened to haleigh or other missing or murdered children.
well thank you in advance for your patience with my thinking out loud.
good night
MsPeridot:
How are you, tonight?
Did you watch Ronald on the Maury Povich show?
Well, PCSO has already ruled out SO’s – they checked them out, remember? AND the investigators are quoted as saying, “they ruled out any links between the vanishing girl and the Sheffields long ago.”
So PCSO has already made up it’s collective (acorn-size) brain. So if you have any tips that lead in any direction OTHER THAN Misty (and her family) or Ron, don’t bother emailing them.
And THAT IS WHY THIS CASE WILL NEVER BE SOLVED!
THANK YOU you numnuts at PCSO!
ms.peridot19,
You could be onto something. Not goofy at all. I was thinking about that myself. The problem is so many parents think they are doing the best they can. They do need our help. It is not like the good ole days when Dad went to work and Mom stayed home and took care of the kids.
In some states when a couple with children file for divorce they must complete a parenting program before the divorce is granted. What if before a mother was allowed to take a baby home from the hospital she had to be given information on child safety?
The information could include things like how to find out if a sex offender lives near you, how to teach your child a code word to use in case someone tells them your mommy has sent me to pick you up, etc.
Education needs to start from day one. Then the state needs to continue from the first day of Kindergarten with continuing education each year until they graduate from high school.
It’s no guarantee, but it’s a start. We need to empower our children. Teach them early on how to recognize warning signs and defend themselves. So much can be done.
Many times in my career I have had to attend annual mandatory inservices. I think yeah, yeah, yeah what a waste of time I already know this stuff. But, I always end up learning something new.
You would be surprised how many college educated people I work with have no idea they can use the internet to find out if sex offenders live near them.
I’m in. Let’s get this project rolling.
SolveCrimes and Ms Peridot: I agree but education only goes so far. Then reality kicks in. In a single parent home, with a working parent, who is going to walk the child to school (as an example)?
Some parents need PRACTICAL HELP! So communities could get a little organized and start their own “Children Watches” like Neighborhood Watches and hopefully people who have the time, sense and ability (and are cleared by LE) could volunteer to walk the children to school (as an example). The problem then becomes – in this litigious society (meaning people sue each other for money at the drop of a hat) who is going to take the “risk” of helping?
And here’s another example. One group of moms in a neighborhood in the midwest I think did organize to keep their children safe. About five moms who worked, dropped their children at the house of the lady who lives nearest the bus stop.
The children stayed with her about an hour before the school bus came. Well, the brilliant state government threatened to bring charges against the lady whose house these kids stayed at accusing her of running a daycare without a license. She WAS NOT running a daycare and was not being paid. But the law got after her that she had to stop.
There’s been so much public outrage about that the state government is “re-thinking” that move to see if exceptions can be made. So even when we try to help each other – geesh. It’s ridiculous!
OK people I know you really do not want to read this but here it goes,
This is how Most Sexual Predators work:
1) They get the “urge” and start looking for a victim.
2) They look for someone who looks like easy prey.
A) Walks alone
B) Very friendly to people in general, Children who look at passers by
C) Longer hair, easy to grab and control a child by there hair.
D) Small in stature
E) Mostly low in social wealth
3) They will “case” a home / area
A) What time people are in what rooms
B) How often you lock your doors
C) Where each person sleeps it the house by when they leave one room and then when a light goes on in another room
D) Time they go to sleep
E) What type of locks you have on your doors. They can find a “Key alike” by the model number and style.
F) Often times when people change locks they throughout the box in the garbage, anyone who gets that box can get a key made to fit that lock .
G) The watch traffic to see when there is less
H) They watch the victim to see their personality, what they where (special children with favorite Disney characters’ they were on their clothing)
4) They watch the caregivers and how they act toward a child.
A) Do they allow a child to play alone unsupervised
B) Do they allow a child to walk to the store, school, and friend’s house by themselves?
C) Do they make sure a child is dressed well
D) The life style and parenting skills are the questionable.
5) They are know not bothering with “come and see the puppies I have” They are now just, what is called “snatch and grab” they pull a car alongside a child jump out cover their mouth with rag, and throw them in the car, and take off. This makes it very hard for parents to help children stay safe because they don’t have a chances.
In addition, I just wanted to add, they love to watch the aftermath that to them is just as good as the child abduction. When they can see how much they have hurt even more people they are in their glory.
Sorry for all the type “O’S… Haven’t had my coffee yet.:(
Also the “bumping: a lock is very easy and effective when you have a cheap lock. (Anything under 5 pins)
Just so all of you are clear on one FACT, A sexual predator would never, ever, turn on a light in a home they were snatching a child out of.
I locked myself out of my house not long ago. We have a GOOD lock on the front door. I called a locksmith who – to me – looked like he might have learned how to do this while operating on the “other side of the law.” He was scary, serious, almost menacing looking to me.
It took all of about 10 seconds for him to unlock it. I was horrified! I said, “My gosh! I didn’t know it was that easy!” He looked me right in the eye with that menacing dark expression and said “Always use the bolt.” Believe me I have ever since!
I remember ron saying he saw a light on in a trailer no one was living in! In the trailer park he lived in after Haleigh went missing and then the dogs hit on that dumpster! They said there is a house that no one lives in on somers way home, and where did they find her body? How far is it to where Haleigh lived?Sounds like theses monsiters have found a way to discord our most precious in tons of trash! PRAYING FOR HALEIGH!!!
LawShrink,
From the pictures of Somer, I thought she was very outgoing, and friendly. Turns out I was correct. I just read a news article that quotes her mom saying Somer was very friendly to strangers.
How likely do you think it is Somer knew the person who killed her?
My thoughts are that she could have been friendly with her killer, perhaps talked to him or her on more than one occasion.
LawShrink,
Thanks for the tips. I just bought a new deadbolt yesterday, and will make sure I shred its box.
m2c,
I’m sure law enforcement isn’t as dense as you make them out to be.
Outrageous that children in that area are left to walk so far to and from school, especially when there are so many sexual predators living in the area.
Time for cameras on every street, GPS implants, emergency alarms children can carry with them.
Ronald Cummings should be held accountable for his child’s disappearance (child endangerment). He should also be charged with sex with a minor (or whatever it’s called). These are crimes that anyone else would have been arrested for.

Hi, ball-breakin-moon (9:16 a.m.)!
I agree with you. Add providing cigarettes to a minor to the charges!
It may be called sexual assualt or rape of a minor (child).
There was a young girl living here in the town where i live, she was not married teen her baby went missing!
Her mother, knew she had done something with the baby because she said her daughter did not want the baby, the mother kept the pressure on her untill she finally gave up and told her mother she had put her in the trash can!
Her mother told the police, but it was to late, they said they would never be able to find her under tons and tons of trash and garbage!
The mother and the rest of the family loved the baby it hurt her family very bad and now she sets in jail thinking about what she did to her on child!
Thank GOD for the mother in this situation because they would have never knew the truth! At first she told them she gave her away!If the police had not followed the garbage trucks they would have never found the body of this child! Thank God!
If misty was at home , sleeping? could it have been , while she was sleeping, someone was hiding In a closet?which I thing it it was the perp would have had to get in there early , waited until they were all asleep , it doesn’t make sense , unless she had company earlier ,In the Danielle Van Dam Case ,I think David westerfield was hiding in the house .or Danielle awoke & wandered over to his house ,
why would the person carry Haleigh out the back door ? wouldn’t it have been more quiet to go out the front door?
why didn’t we see the interior of the front door & where its located ,
?why go through all that trouble with a cement block ,
If the doors were locked like Ron & Mitzy said, they were , how did they get opened from the inside ? while she was sleeping? HELLO!!!
(second line typo ( I think if it was a perp**** S.O .
sorry he would have had to be in that house earlier or sneaked in when he had the chance if a door was opened , & hide
Bev, you said: “I’m sure law enforcement isn’t as dense as you make them out to be.”
I am glad you are so confident. I hope they aren’t so dense but they ARE human! Please remember that. And LE over the years all over the country HAVE made some major goofs.
I’m just very disappointed in their tunnel-vision
and excuses for it like: “No forced entry” (Well that HAS happened. That someone got in without leaving signs of that). And “It’s not a stranger abduction.” WHY NOT!? Because no noise was heard? Again, it’s happened.
There are GPS units that cost only around $119.00 you can put on your children’s shoes, or on a necklace. You can set them to go off and text you, or phone you, or email you if your child goes out of the area you set up. Also the can pull them and they make a really load alarm!
The only reason I’m trying to keep an open mind about what happened to Haleigh is because I don’t want to find ourselves ten years down the road and find out we were on the wrong road the whole time. Remember, Jon Benet Ramsey? Her mother was villified by the press and public and only after she died did it become apparent that she was innocent.
Linda,
It is about 30 miles or so from Haleigh’s home to Somer’s home. There is a road, Hwy 17, which almost directly links them both.
I always wished that they (L.E.) would set up two different teams to work every child abduction case, one team to look at the family as perpetrators, and the other team to look at all other possibilities.
working1 – That’s interesting! I thought what Linda was pointing out was that in both cases there are vacant homes which could have been used by the perp (to watch kids from, to take them to at some point).
I carry heavy arm loads of wood in my house (back door) I dont need to prop open back door , my screen door is exactly as the one on Rons rented trailor on green dr.
I have to chuckle ,,, whats any worst getting caught picking up a baby off a mattress, or be heard slaming a screen door,??
That may have been the reason misty did not tell ron that she left the home that night! Because if she left that door unlocked someone could have came in and waited!
And they could have left the area with Haleigh, her body could have been put in a dumpster hundreds of miles away!
Who ever killed somer must have knew when the garbage trucks ran? Not meaning they are even from the area, may have called garbage comany to find out when it ran?
WHY DID RON SAY, YOU LET MY CHILD GET STOLE BITCH!!!
Something is wrong with this statement!
what did misty tell him?
I wonder if she told him she left the door unlocked and thats why he made that statement was she selling or out buying drugs for him and her?
Maybe Haleigh was not even taken from that area, but then i think they said they found a childs foot print and a few other things but that dont mean it was Haleighs!
Iam wondering if a helicopter flew over theses dumps with heat seeking devices if it would show a body? Depends on how long a body would stay warm? People it dont mean anything that her body was not found in that landfill! Her body could have been put in another one in a differant part of the state!
Im still praying for YOU Haleigh! And HOPING THEY FIND THERE PRECIOUS BABY ALIVE!!!!!!!!
m2c – yes — and the empty trailer, the one that Donald Sapp was working on, and now this vacant house. Have you seen SolveCrimes post at 1:43 am from iowamom? Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it? Donald Sapp is in jail, though, now, right —
If you want, go on google and put in Horton Drive, Orange Park – you will see Hwy 17 on the right, and then follow it on down to Palatka – Satsuma is just below Palatka on Hwy 17.

We can’t give up so easy.
They should give Donald Sapp truth searmun!
And his ASS talk and if did something to Haleigh GUT HIS ASS him right there!
Simon Barrett said,in October 22nd, 2009 at 2:02 pm Sharpvisions – That is not a true statement. They follow up on all tips. To date that is over 4000. All that Capt. Piscitello is trying to do is streamline the process.
PCSO do not share a great deal of information with the press. And that is not such a bad thing. It is frustrating at times, and at times we get grumpy with them, and I am sure (know) that they get grumpy with us.
But I do know that every tip is looked at and evaluated, every tip that has merit is investigated.
—————–
Simon,
They do not follow up on all tips, especially sighting. In a PR released last week PCSO stated they checked the tips in Georgia and South Carolina. They also stated they look at a video and it was not Haleigh. They never checked with those business’s! They never requested a video from them. This , I know!
HaLeigh has been gone for over eight months. Would you or someone tell me what they have done.
Be well
Rebecca
Linda @ 10:28 – I think Ron assumed Haleigh had been abducted because at first at least he didn’t think Misty did it and it was known that Haleigh was afraid of the dark so she would not wander outside by herself. So an abduction would be the logical thing for him to think at that point.
It’s also possible that if Misty left for a while, and did not check on the kids when she then LATER when she woke up and noticed that Haleigh was missing she would not know if Haleigh was taken when she was out or while she was sleeping.
I meant – if she did not check on the kids when she came back…
Donald Sapp was remodeling that vacant trailor. The vacant house in Orange Park (on Gano, about 1/2 mile from Hwy 17) has been vacant for about six months since a fire, and was being remodeled by 3 men.
Becca1 – What you are stating was “reported” on a blog that I will not name but which is one of the most misleading (yellow journalism) sites I’ve ever seen.
The kind of “reporting” done there – if it’s not a flat out lie – goes something like this:
PERHAPS PCSO did not directly contact those businesses or request the tape (I don’t know) BUT what that site would not tell you is whether PCSO asked the LOCAL LE to look into it for them!
That way the “report” isn’t exactly a lie but it isn’t the truth either.
That’s just one example but I’ve seen others there that I KNOW were misleading. I don’t know why he does that other than to get attention and to be as sensational as possible. If that guy said the sky was blue I’d look up before I believed him.
working1 – Oh, but isn’t Donald Sapp one of the ones PCSO has CLEARED!? I guess we shouldn’t be concerned then (Please read a LOT of sarcasm into this).
HollysGmom, I agree with you, there are a segment of posters who are on the Poor Misty train. Sending moneys and being there to talk to poor misty and fill her in on anything she might need or not need to know but told anyway. With this new segment, along with Misty’s name resembling a major comet, and a new list of names attached somewhat resembling the tail of a comet, we have to wonder where that Comet is directed or should I say Whom is the Comet directed at.. Well needless to say, should we be happy with these people don’t have a problem sending Misty Money.. I do hope they are aware its not Burger king or Food lion that are the end recipients of this money. And I do agree, drug dealers are aware, they watch tv and read the papers, and even use computers.. Oh My.. and fully aware there just might be an Le on her tail.. Look at the past, anyone who’s name comes into the Misty list with PCSO, eventually goes to visit the grey hotel. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if they became a little or alot violent with Misty.. Maybe she is lucky they don’t get a bit more violent.. And also knowing Misty, one has to wonder.. what would be the story the people on the other side of this incidence might well comment.. So, whatever did happen that night, I hope the poster’s who send money, really stops and thinks about it before they send more. And are they really sure they want to link their names with Misty?
m2c — I get what you’re saying!! This is crazy!
Well, I just did a crazy thing — but I used to live up in Jax and know Hwy 17 very well. It would be soooooo easy and very probable that the trailer park SO group would make the 45 minute trip to Orange Park to do some remodeling. So, I just called the tip line for Somer and spoke to a very nice policewoman who is familiar with Haleigh’s case also. I told her what I just thought (in case it might help) and mentioned the remodeling work done by Donald Lee Sapp on the vacant trailer, and that he was in Putnam County jail.
Anyway, she acted very interested, took down all the info and would pass it on to Clay Co. I praised Clay Co. and how quickly they worked and, since she was so receptive to what I was saying, added the part about Donald Lee Sapp watching Haleigh on the trampoline 1-2 days before she went missing, and that maybe they could look into a connection with the Satsuma SO’s and Somer’s murders.
I probably made a fool of myself, but hey? Every little bit helps, you know? Oh, well.
SEEMS TO ME THEY HAVE CLEARED EVERYONE IN THIS CASE?
m2c said,in October 23rd, 2009 at 11:06 am Becca1 – What you are stating was “reported” on a blog that I will not name but which is one of the most misleading (yellow journalism) sites I’ve ever seen.
The kind of “reporting” done there – if it’s not a flat out lie – goes something like this:
PERHAPS PCSO did not directly contact those businesses or request the tape (I don’t know) BUT what that site would not tell you is whether PCSO asked the LOCAL LE to look into it for them!
That way the “report” isn’t exactly a lie but it isn’t the truth either.
That’s just one example but I’ve seen others there that I KNOW were misleading. I don’t know why he does that other than to get attention and to be as sensational as possible. If that guy said the sky was blue I’d look up before I believed him.
———————-
m2c,
PCSO did not ask Law Enforcement to investigate the two sightings, I am talking about.I know this because I spoke with both company’s. The misleading yellow journalist site you are referring to, is not ,as I see it. It probably is the best because everything is backed by facts.
I tried to get other Journalists to print the facts to no avail.
I am HaLeigh Cummings Child Advocate. I fought until the so-called HaLeighbug Foundation became a legal 501(c)(3). I also brought attention to the Photoshoped Pictures of Crystal and her children to light. AH, stated on his website it was the original and had not been altered. This is simply untrue. No one wanted to dicuss the pictures ,why? What kind of mother and others would use HaLeigh and Junior in this manner? Raising illegal money for Crystal and her children to live on, until the State of Florida investigated them. This is not what parent’s of missing children do. I wish people would ask more questions instead turning rumors into fact. IMO Be well
Rebecca
I would like to state that 95% of all cases I of Had with S.O., they had been “cleared” by L.E. in the beginning of the case and then years later had been found to be 100% guilty of that same crime they at first had been “Cleared”. They do not completely investigate them in my opinion
Becca1-
You said, “I tried to get other Journalists to print the facts to no avail.” Tat’s because those “facts” are skewed.
Also, many of us have wide-open minds about who may be responsible for this – including Crystal’s side of the family. And we do ask questions but we have to question some of the “answers” and those who provide the “answers.”
By whose authorization are you “Haleigh Cummings’ Child Advocate?”
I just read that Clay Co. has no sex offender suspects in a 5-mile radius around Somer’s home.
Maybe they need to do a 35-mile radius down to Satsuma Chapter of SO’s.
working one,
Dont even worry about it you did the right thing, if that guy who found caylees body had not came foreward? She may or may not have been found! We have to do what we feel is right at the time! Also, the other little a few days before somer was helped by some unknowed lady bless her GOD! She saved that baby!
100,000 S.O. have fallen off the radar in the United States. They could be anywhere.
i ment to say there other little girl!
There also getting smarter, and that means our police and the people have to get even SMARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
working1 (11:32 a.m.)
I do not think you made a fool of yourself. Your tip makes sense. The heat is on in Putnam County and a SO might go to a nearby county to pick his next victim.
I live in a small community in Tx. A few months ago there was a robbery/murder about 25 miles away. That type of crime rarely happens in my area. I called in to give some info (based upon what LE released to the media) to LE investigating the crime.
mlee @ 11:23 am This is the first that I’ve heard that anyone was sending Misty money! Where would they send it to? LOL! Talk about “no fixed address!” At least since she moved out of Ron’s.
Seriously! I know there are people who feel sorry for her but I’ve never heard anyone was sending her money!
Any sexual predator would know not to abduct a child in their own neighborhood. Think about it, they have all been charged once already and don’t want to go back to prison, I don’t think they like pedophiles in there.
The vacant house is a good place to start looking. These abductions could certainly be related. If it works once, what would stop the perp from committing the same crime over and over.
Thanks you all. Clay Co. is basking in the limelight right now because of their quick response and recovery of the body (even though they failed to warn residents after the 1st attempt) so hopefully they’ll look into the possibility.
The policewoman asked me about the address of the trailer Donald Lee Sapp was remodeling back when Haleigh went missing, but I didn’t know and said it was in the same trailer park where Haleigh lived, and I thought her street was Green, so it would be back in there. She asked me if it was “Reynolds Cove” or something and I didn’t know.
But the thing is, she did ask all of those questions, so that is encouraging. She seemed interested in the fact that Sapp was in Putnam Co. jail now.
Palatka is a small rural city; Orange Park is much larger and be a place to find work.
Sorry……but in the beginning I felt Haleigh was alive. She no longer is with us. And I doubt down there in Florida with all the swamps and alligators and all their creatures her remains will ever be found. She is lost. And only she took the truth with her. May she rest in peace.
Many S.O. Do abduct in their own neighborhood.
However, they do not turn on lights when they enter a home to abduct a child.
Remind me, how was Donald Sapp “Cleared” ?
LawShrink – Didn’t Timmy/Tommy or whatever Misty’s brother’s name is — he’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier — maybe he turned them on when he realized Misty was out cold and left them on? I think Misty said she had some dream-like thing going on (and then recanted), but Junior also said he saw men in black.
In your experience, do sex offenders tend to hang around together and know each other?
Anyone know if Agnes is related to Donald?
YES,YES,YES, They love to hang out together and feed each other their vivid tales of…. Moreover, often but not always go “hunting” together. They escalate in their crime more this way.
1.Were there any pets reported missing or killed in Somer’s neighborhood?
2. I do not believe (IMO) that Haleigh was abducted, stranger, family, whatever, I believe that this is a case of child negligence and endangerment and unlawful disposal of a body.
3. Why no time-line of all events and every time Misty’s story changed or every time Misty offered some other person as the perp? There were all sorts of time-lines posted for Caylee, Casey couldn’t even blow her nose without it being posted.
4. Don’t let Misty’s “Poor little uneducated girl” persona fool you, she’s been raised in a criminal atmosphere and knows all the tricks of the trade.
5. ALL THESE STATEMENTS ARE OF MY OWN OPINION
6. I reckon I should stop now, before I draw the ire of all Misty supporters.
Have a lovely day!

m2c,
My facts are not skewed, they are FACTS. It is public record I had the Haleighbug Foundation investigated by the state of Florida.
The answer to your second question is HaLeigh’s family. Take care
Rebecca
I neither, support Misty or Not Support Misty; I believe we cannot draw any conclusions based on the plain and simple fact that, we do not have all the FACTS.
LawShrink,
Many S.O. Do abduct in their own neighborhood.

It seems misty was not telling the truth about the kitchen light, her brother stated all the lights were off when he went to over there, she could have turned them on while looking for haleigh, and used that as an excuse as to why she woke up and walked towards the kitchen.
There are some that have jumped on the “Poor Misty” bandwagon.
And how many times did Casey change her story?
oh and ps…
thank you for sharing your October 23rd, 2009 at 7:07 am, although most of us don’t want to hear how these dirtbags “operate” awareness is sometimes the best weapon you have to protect your most valued blessing’s.
Sharpvisions, i agree with you totally. LE has not followed up on tips. Why turn around now? IMO this case has gone cold.
was Sapp in jail when this happend to somer?
Linda, yes he was.
Linda, i am sorry i am wrong i think, its snodgrass.Hell i am not sure anymore.
working 1 jr said a man in black took Haleigh.
I really do not know what happened to this beautiful little girl.
I am starting to think they have Haleigh hidden out somewhere. Ron always seems like he is talking to someone specific and tells Haleigh if she is watching that he loves her. Teresa always seems very adamant that haleigh is alive. I know noone should lose hope and maybe this is what it is. I know that there were 4 eye witnesses to the fact it was Misty that picked up Haleigh from the bus stop on the 9th of Feb. Three parents from the bus stop and the bus driver. Teresa, Ron and Misty all say it was Ron himself that picked up Haleigh that day. Someone is lying here and I believe it is Ron and family.
What would be Rons motive I do not know, but if they did hurt Haleigh either way I pray they get caught and crucified.
In Mistys voice layered analysis she feels Haleigh is alive, but gives info that she is deceased meaning the fake red rose discovered in the last search by the mh in which they lived at the time.
Where was Rons anger with Misty in the 911 call to the fact she had her phone off all night and he had been trying to reach her. When someones emotions are running high he would of been out raged at her for this , not just calling her his dumb b..ch girlfriend and How you let my daughter get stole you B..ch!! I feel he would of been more angered of not being able to reach her. Lets not mention the fact that he called Mistys brother, instead of his mom Teresa Neves to go and check on his children and Misty. Then you have a 17 year old who gets up and sees a light she said she knows was off and a door propped open and she runs to get her phone to call Ron to see if he came home and notices Haleigh missing. She should of been dialing 911 not Ron or anyone else due to the fact the intruder could still be in the home! Misty stands in the door way and waits til Ron gets out of his car and asks her why she is up to tell him what happened! Why stand out in the open if someone came into your home and stole a child and not run to him in sheer fear when she saw him arriving? LE asks all kind of questions and your reaction to what happened. I believe LE have some kind of evidence leading them to the fact this was no stranger abduction. I am not saying not to look at Donald Sapp due to the fact he was not considered to be a stranger to Haleigh. Haleigh knew him. This case is truely twisted!!
Also big deal about light being off!
Who would sleep with all lights out and your husband working nights?
NOT ME I would want a light on for alot of differant reasons, like someone breaking in or house catching on fire!
Dont sound right to me, lights would have to be on for jr to see a man in black?
NOT EVEN A NIGHT LIGHT?
Maybe the man in black took Haleigh from ANOTHER house, if so this dovetails nicely with the Nay-nay letter.
Not to mention Linda. Haleigh is afraid of the dark!
To many differant stories,Im afraid of the dark, i would most likely have ever light in the house on!!! Your right misty said Haleigh was afraid of the dark! If someone was drugged up they would not know if the light was on are even where they were seems to me there have been alot of lies told in Haleigh case!
I am Not a supporter of Misty or anyone ,
all I’m saying is.. someone could have been hiding inside the trailor waiting ?? & S**t face could have been preoccupied, or left the home for drugs , seems that she likes that stuff,

———————————————–
mariesilk,
Sexual predators have abducted children in their own neighborhoods; even from the home next door.
Way too many lies!!!!
OMG teens today can lie with a straight face ,. I could have never done that when I was a teen , I would get caught every time lol ,
My husband works out of town and I sleep with all the lights off when he is gone.
Also, I think it is unfair to criticize her reaction that night. She is 17 and Ron is the adult in her life, and Haleigh was his daughter, I am not surprised at all her first instinct was to call him. Sometimes when a traumatic event occurs it takes a while for the reality of it to set in. Especially after waking in the middle of the night.
I am not saying I think Misty is innocent, but it is unfair to condemn her for not behaving or reacting they way you would have. I don’t think any of us know how we would react in that situation and I hope to God none of us ever have to have every breath we take scrutinized by media and the public who don’t even have all the facts in the case.
I guess I meant to say, perhaps SO are becoming smarter, as law shrink suggested and know to ‘hunt’ outside their neighborhood. Just that there is a possibility that this was a SO, just not from there.
IF I wanted to give my opinion about Mizsty being involved , I would say this , yeah, she is responsible , she got rid of her, during the night , then thought about what she would tell Ron , & made the whole thing up about,the blanket door& light , etc her 911 call was staged , it was all staged But ,,,
“what do I know”
I think of sweet Haleigh often like is my own child , I believe she is with angels in Heaven , Remember what Jesus said , if you hurt the little children? HAGE
mariesilk, please don’t take this the wrong way, but the problem is no one is sure what happenned that night. All we know for sure is that what Misty said happenned does not match the evidence law enforcement collected.
BarbyD I agree to the fact Misty could of left the home. If you go by her testament she was home all night. Her brother Tommy was there between five and six and they smoked some pot and about 7pm til 7:30pm GGSykes and Rons aunt was there and left after bringing over clean laundry for the kids. She then cleaned and done Haleighs and her blankets and went to bed at 10:00 pm. Misty said as well as Ron everything was locked up. I can believe she left that home and left the door unlocked, but she is in no position to change her story. LE already stated that if they find out she left the home and left the children unattended she would be arrested!
yes, & someone has to prove she left the children unattended ,so no-one is coming forward , so it looks like she is cleared for that alligation ,
yes, & someone has to prove she left the children unattended ,so no-one is coming forward , so it looks like she is cleared for that alligation ,
mc, but we also don’t know what evidence supposedly contradicts her story either. Is it simply that there are no signs of forced entry or is it something more concrete? We don’t know. The more time passes the more I doubt she did it. Her and Tommy smoking a joint earlier could be another factor to her sleeping through an abduction.
There are plenty of things that are suspicious about her, but some of the things that people spend time analyzing, like trying to call Ron before 911, just seem like a waste of time.
It would be more productive to not the timing of that night. Isn’t it strangely coincidental that Misty would awaken and find Haleigh gone moments before Ron is due home? that is the type of detail that gets me thinking. JMO
@ 17yrs old & younger I baby sat,, and had I awaken & found one of them gone ??(4) one sleep walked , I would have ran out the door screaming,I wouldn’t have cared what time of the night it was , does any one know if she went to the next door neighbours? did she she yell out her name ? Haleigh ! Haleigh ! where are you? did she take a flash light & go looking for her?? Nope..
bye all, bbl bTW I agree with you Marie silk
I had read early on that several people in that neighborhood saw Misty out, walking around that night.
I had read early on that several people in that neighborhood saw Misty out, walking around that night.
Sorry for the double post.
I think if there really were witnesses that saw her out that night she would have been arrested by now, if Ron didn’t kill her first.
One more thing that bothers me: what time did Ron have to be at work? Most plants that have 3 shifts have a schedule like 1st shift 7:00am-3:00pm, 2nd shift, 3:00pm-11:00pm, 3rd shift 11:00pm-7:00 am.
Polly his company was 4-12 but they verified they ask Ron to work overtime and stay until 3AM.
Thanks, I was just wondering cos I read in some places that he worked 10 hrs and other places that he worked 12hrs. Any abandoned refrigerators where Haleigh could have got to ‘em?
nc, you said, “All we know for sure is that what Misty said happenned does not match the evidence law enforcement collected.”
I think it’s more that Misty’s statements have not been clear. They’ve been inconsistent. No mention has been made that anything she said contradicts evidence or any of the observations at the time. The only point some people found worth commenting on was the story about the peed on blanket being in the dryer? And that the house had no laundry soap. But that’s no smoking gun.
Casey Anthony’s statements were contradictory and nonsensical too. Maybe Zanny the Nanny snatched Haleigh.
Sorry for that.
About the dark. Haleigh was afraid of it. So why not have a night light at least!? And I sure would have one anyway especially with mattresses on the floor so that there’s a good chance you’ll step on a child when you get up to go to the bathroom.
With that lifestyle (and drugs etc)and community and upbringing and living with Ron, I think it’s to be expected that Misty would tell Ron first and not call the cops on her own (to come to his house? about his daughter?) without asking him? Call the cops? No way.
1. Ron was at work. Verified by his employer
2. Who picked Haleigh up at the bus stop?
3. Haleigh was last seen by_________________(fill in the blank with someone other than Misty)
4. Misty did laundry without laundry detergent.
5. Misty and Jr and Haleigh, or not Haleigh slept in a bed without messing it up.
6.Intruder breaks in without forced entry, conveniently finds a cinder block to prop open a back door he knows will make a loud noise, forgets to turn the kitchen light off and makes a clean get-away without waking up the adult who was sleeping 4 inches, no make that 4 feet away.
m2c, my thoughts too, about the night light. Hard to believe all the lights would be kept off at night with children sleeping in the trailer without night lights.
Misty said JR often got up in the night and roamed, so surely they did have night lights plugged in.
I called a tip into the tip line and sheriffs office first week haleigh went missing.
The details I gave them matched the details of crime against other children that was attacked by a sex predator in the area. this tip was never followed up on. They made the excuse that I read this from the net. I’ve never seen police files plastered on the net for public to see the gory details. I’m hundreds of miles away and had never heard of this place or people before Haleigh went missing. And I sure had never heard of this sex predator before.
Talk about mis-information! Where did the Maury Povich version of events as portrayed by the two who played Misty and Ronald came from??
The ‘re-enactment’ shows Misty and Ron putting Haleigh to bed before Ron went to work, and Misty waking up, looking over and seeing Haleigh was not on her mattress.
Did Ron or Teresa tell that version to Maury Povich’s writers, or did the writers make the mistakes?
At the time I called the tip in I did’nt know anything about these crime against other children in the area or the sex predators.
I later found out about the match of details.
I am wondering how you would know details of cases that you had never heard of before? I missed something.
Both Ronald and Teresa look like they’re smiling when they cry, what’s up with that? Heriditary? Don’t corners of the lips go down when you cry?
look at my name don’t that tell you something
Isn’t it a little unfair to expect le to follow all of your type of lead? I think they are looking for witnesses or evidence, not ‘visions’
Speaking of such, whatever happened with the anonymous letter? Was it ever disclosed who wrote that letter?
Mc2
You spew untruths and do not have the first clue of what you say. Get a job, or come to Putnam and help investigate FACTS. I’m sure the only thing you advocate is sitting in front a computer screen playing Nancy Drew. Something you are not very good at.
but if what I said matches the MO of a sex predator in the area don’t you think its worth looking into
I wonder if Maury Povich know events in the re-enactment video on his show with Teresa and Ron are not the same as what Misty and Ron have told police and the media over the past 8 months?
I’ve always thought Maury and his wife were legitimate in their reporting, so the question begs to be answered –
WHY IS THE MAURY POVICH SHOW RE-ENACTMENT A DIFFERENT VERSION OF EVENTS?
To working1,
BRAVO! Thank you for doing that!!! Sapp, his whereabouts that night and the trailer need to be looked into further.
Linda, it’s probably true that most people with young children keep at least a night light on at night.
Misty said no lights were on when she went to bed, which, if true, is out of the ordinary.
Cobra,
If you’re reading and haven’t already viewed the Maury Povich re-enactment video, PLEASE DO SO first chance you get.
You might want to find out why the version of events portrayed in the re-enactment by actors playing Misty and Ron differs from the story those two have told to date.
Who changed the story? The people who wrote the re-enactment, the people who directed the actors, or Ron/Teresa?
sharpvision, look at my name too..what does it tell you?
Iam so sick of people saying well shes only seventeen, please when i was 13, i had to take care of my younger brother and sister for my mom to work and even clean house and cook! Please dont say that anymore seventeen is able to do alot even move in and sleep with another!
Bravo Its 5 o’clock somewhere!!!!!
LOL!!!!
come on, I adamantly do not agree with you about M2c “spewing untruths”. If you had been on this site much you would know that is NOT true. He/she is the “TJ Hart” of this blog. He is very careful to say when things are his opinion and extra generous at providing facts & data when he gives info. He has been a balance of preventing many rumors from getting started that were not true on this blog. I do not always agree with his thinking or opinions but always enjoy his view point and feel free to disagree and discuss it with him/her. JMO FYI treece
Misty can clean house and cook too: washing a peed on blanket without detergent and nuking some Chef Boyardee.
HAR HAR HAR
Cobra,
What do you think about doing a time-line and approaching this in a scientific manner?
In response to “come on” at 4:03 pm -
I’ve been expressing ideas, opinion, theories, possibilities. If you don’t agree, that’s fine. I’m not asking anyone to agree.
There are very few “truths” or “facts” in this case but if you KNOW them please enlighten us!
I am much more interested in finding out information – and finding Haleigh – than I am in attacking or bashing other bloggers (which is why I’m not bashing you).
Got a fact?
Please share it! Otherwise nasty remarks like yours are far more of a waste of space than my humble opinions or ideas.
This is from the First Coast News site in Jax:
JACKSONVILLE, FL — A man that worked on the renovation of the house at 1080 Gano Ave., where 7-year-old murder victim Somer Thompson was last seen alive, is a registered sex offender.
Vinson Design and Build is the construction company that was working on the Orange Park home, which has been vacant since a fire several months, according to Clay County public records.
James Vinson owns the company. Vinson’s brother, George Vinson, who works for the company, is a registered sexual offender, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement sexual offender website.
The Gano house is the last place witnesses saw Somer Thompson, who vanished Monday on her way home from school. Police found the first-grader’s body Wednesday in a Georgia landfill; the manner and cause of death have not been released.
According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, as of this afternoon, there were no suspects in the case.
The Vinsons’ sister Alissa Barrs, who lives at the same address in Mandarin as George Vinson, said her brothers have been questioned by police. She said on Friday afternoon that George Vinson, 33, worked at the Gano home about two months ago, but then found other work.
James Vinson and his business partner were interrogated for hours by detectives on Thursday, she said, and George Vinson was being questioned Friday.
Police searched their Mandarin home Thursday and seized a truck and trailer from their property, she said.
First Coast News made two attempts to reach James Vinson. During one phone call, he said, “I don’t want to talk about it” and hung up.”
_________
Why did they say sex offenders cleared? Mandarin is just a short ways away, just over the Buckman Bridge, from Orange Park.
Blues:
I remember seeing a video with GGSykes where she said, Misty and the kids always slept with the TV on. I was wondering how Jr. would have seen someone come in and get his sissy, if it were dark. (I am not sure that happened)but, if it did, that would explain enough light in the room to see a predator.
1. Law Shrink said in a statement above that no predator would leave a light, on if they were taking a child. I believe that to be true.
2. Another thing, I believe to be true is Misty didn’t go out and bring up that big cinderblock in the dark. A woman would never do that. A man did that.
3. Another thing, I believe to be true is that Misty didn’t come off that drug binge cold turkey. So did she go out, did someone come in and bring her some drugs, or did Ron furnish her with some? Is that what he is hiding?
4. I heard early on that a neighbor heard a woman’s raised voice about 2:30 in the morning.
5. A neighbor said on one of the radio programs that a real loud car came thru there about 1:30 a.m. He said that was real unusual in that quiet neighborhood. Cobra said Amber Brooks was usually driving a car like that.
6. Ron has changed the last two months, quite drastically. He seems much more sad and vulnerable. Watch earlier videos and the Maury one and compare them.
7. Ron and Misty broke up right after that letter came from the jail that said Misty had the kids at a party and Haleigh OD’ed. All of the above is just my opinion.
working1 – What stumps me is how LE can “clear” a bunch of SOs so fast! How do they do that?
I have a lot of confidence in Clay County LE – since they were smart enough to follow those trash trucks. So they must know what they’re doing as far as checking SOs. Is there a system? Are they all on ankle monitors? They all had corroborated rock solid alibis? If I knew how this “checking/clearing” was done, maybe I’d have more confidence in it.
And of course it does not eliminate the SOs who haven’t been caught yet or any that are passing thru the area and are now long gone.
Blues said, you make a very valid point about the re-enactment. I watched the show and never caught it. I guess I was so upset with Somer Thompson being found murdered that I really was not paying much attention! Good catch though. I wonder if LE caught it? I would think that when they interview for the show they would tell what happened that evening so that it would be accurate. KUDOS
To stage a scene I think it’s very possible that a woman could and would tote a cinder block. Cinder blocks are not that heavy and besides how would a mysterious stranger know of their existence or whereabouts in the middle of the night?
Could someone please clear this up? Who picked Haleigh up at the bus stop and at what time?
m2c – Amazing, isn’t it? I don’t know either.
I just looked this guy up – he has only 1 offense and it was in 1995. He was born in 1975, so he was 20. He is accused of “lewd and lascivious act” with an under 16-year-old, so it could just be girl friend under age thing. So it was 14 years ago.
sharpvisions:
In the last article I read about the new tip line for PCSO they stated they have received alot of psychic tips. there is only so much they can do to follow up on them. It is not enough to gain a search warrant or to violate anyone’s privacy. Investigations cost a lot of money and I don’t think there are many le departments that would consider a tip like that worth the expense. And in all honesty, you don’t know they never looked at your idea.
I never meant to sound so rude before and I apologize, I do not discredit that someone like yourself may gather info on this case in an unconventional way. I have had dreams that have come true before, but more that have not.
I do think that there could be a serial SO operating down there. A lot of kids go missing, and look, everyone is so busy bashing the parents that no one is looking for a pervert. I still think they need to be looking at wilderness cabins along that river. There is a lot of forest there that someone could hide a little girl for a long time without anyone noticing.
Polly, I’m afraid that we can’t clear that up. If one person said Misty did and another person said Ron did then all we can do is choose who to believe.
I’m not really sure that’s a key aspect of the case, though.
When I think about a scenario for “what if” Misty did it when Ron was not there – whether it was accident or on purpose – I wonder (1) how/where did she so successfully get rid of the body? (2) Did she do that alone? (3) Did she have help? (4) If she had help why wouldn’t that person come up with a story for a “tip” about the body that would get them the reward?
(5) How could she keep that from Ron for so long?
My biggest question is really # 1.

Many S.O. Do abduct in their own neighborhood.
However, they do not turn on lights when they enter a home to abduct a child.
++++++++
The lights were on in the Lunsford home when Couey took Jessica Lunsford.
Brian David Mitchell turned on the lights in Elizabeth Smart’s home so she could find sneakers the night she was kidnapped (and her sister was in the same room).
Just to name two.
Polly – I’m not disagreeing with you about the cinderblock but another blogger who knows about how SOs operate (LawShrink) said that they often stake out, watch a potential victim and know A LOT about their habits, home, caregivers, etc. So someone could have planned this and just waited for the right opportunity. (But I agree. Seems like something easier than a cinderblock could have been used.)
Blues – Yes! That was very sharp of you to catch that. My natural instinct is to blame the TV show’s writers for getting it wrong. But I think LE should investigate and see if there was a difference in what Ron told that show (if they even asked him) and what he said before.
m2c, I think the whole backdoor thing looks staged and the fact that Misty has offered up everybody and their grandma as suspects, failed 3 polys, and can’t give le a coherent statement points the finger straight at her.
I do believe it was an accident and that she did have help, the cadaver dogs hit on the dumpster which would indicate that a body had been there but was moved. Cadaver dogs hit on several places in the Anthony’s backyard but we know now where Caylee really was.
I would surmise that the person who helped her is either afraid of Ron or afraid of being implicated in either a child neglect/endangerment case or perhaps murder
Does FL have a 3 strikes law as far as drug convictions? That might be another reason.
Another question I have is what about gators, or the national forest or park that is within driving distance? That could be a good place to hide a body.
Misty can be in total denial about her role in Haleigh’s disappearenc or she could just be a pathological liar. I was married to such a person for 13 years and the more he repeated his lies the more he believed them himself.
Did Misty ever have a pysch evaluation done?
What about the AC man? Was he interviewed?
And as far as who picked Haleigh up? That helps establish a time-line of events.
Cobra,
I would like to know if you read all the things we say on here and if you learn anything new or that you didnt know or think of before?
mc2 Some predators just operate on impulse and snatch the nearest random victim they can. I just think the whole thing looks too convenient and phony.
Polly, I think Tommy would help her! Her family came to help her leave ron! And he jumped on Tommy and they were fighting POLICE came and she stayed with ron , but they did come to her defence!
Polly, no matter who picked Haleigh up Ron & Misty, the other one was at home, because they only had one vehicle. So no matter who picked her up it was before Ron went to work. Her brother & his kids came over & an AC repair man was there around 5 or 5:30. Then Ron’s grandma delivered laundry around 7ish. The next positive time was when Ron came home from work. Hope that helps with your question. Treece
treece, I’m just trying to approach this scientifically. Was this AC guy cleared by LE?
Linda, Misty did say something about Tommy’s wife’s van being scratched and brush hanging off of it like it had been driven off road.
Yes, Cobra -
Are you reading any of this? What do you think?
And – how could LE possibly clear over 100 SO’s in such a short amount of time?
I heard there is always some truth told, some lies some truth no one know for sure! So wish we did!
the ac guy was cleared right away
Karen,
Then if Teresa is correct, the television would have lit up the bedroom, and if Misty removed the blanket from the bedroom window, the room could have been further lit with moon light and the street lamp light.
If true Ron had worked overtime practically the entire month they lived there, then the blanket may have been on the bedroom window to block sunlight, as he probably slept until noon or afternoon.
So, with moon light/street light/televison light in the room, why would Misty dramatically gesture with her arms when telling that she woke up and saw bright light from the kitchen?
What about bright light from the window that no longer had a blanket covering it, and bright light from the television?
If the window had no blinds or heavy curtains, then Tommy, or anyone else, could have looked into the well lit room if the window was at eye level.
Thanks mariesilk
Why did Misty make a big deal about the peed upon blanket? It’s called evading the question. She did that to give herself time to think of a plausible explanation.
I think if Tommy had helped Misty with Haleigh’s body he wouldn’t have told the story about Misty not being home. I would think he wouldn’t want to create any more suspicion towards Misty for fear his role would be exposed
m2c,
I’ll send an email over, just in case they haven’t caught the discrepancy yet.
Yeah but he was mad at Misty when he said that because she had a restraining order on him.
It is suspicious how Misty goes on about the blanket, but I really think that the details she emphasizes in her tv interviews are a result of le grilling her about them during interogation.
mariesilk,
Misty called one of her relatives before calling 911, but I don’t recall which. Can you/will you refresh my memory?
That is another good point, why would Misty provoke someone who was her accomplice?
Hmmmm…..that is stretching way back. I thought it was Ron who called someone else, but now that you mention it, was it Tommy? I think it was a brother.
Does anyone else know?
Will research
Because she might have something on him that could really send him up for a while. But second guessing someone isn’t in keeping with good scientific method.
What about Amber Brooks? I know Misty made threats to her one time about taking Ron’s son from her, but weren’t they buddies before that?
If the television was on, and a street light and moon light was streaming through the bedroom window from which Misty removed a blanket before going to bed, then the bedroom was well lit.
With the bedroom well lit, light from the kitchen would not appear as bright as it would if the bedroom were dark.
Then there was the slender black guy who was with Ron that night when they were driving around in Amber Brooks’ granny’s apartment complex. Anyone memba that?
Jr did say a man in black could he have meant a black man?
Blues:
All I can find that mentions a call from Misty to Tommy is in comments and blogger posts. No credible source, so take it for what you will.
Also, even if the kitchen light wasn’t that bright in the bedroom, wouldn’t you notice that a light that you turned off was turned on. She probably thought Ron was home at first.
I don’t think the black guy was WBG. Ron wouldn’t be hanging out with a guy who was messing with his girlfriend would he?
Polly,
He placed himself at the crime scene. Doubtful he would risk making himself a suspect because he was mad at her, and feeling spiteful.
mariesilk,
Thanks.
Polly said:
But second guessing someone isn’t in keeping with good scientific method.
I am not sure exactly what you meant by this, but if a theory is based on an untruth it needs to be pointed out. And there is nothing really scientific about this. We try to stick to the facts we have, but most is guesswork.
I would be more likely to believe Tommy took her on his own than that he helped Misty. I agree with Blues.
Blues, He ain’t the sharpest, maybe he thought he was doing her damage by saying she wasn’t home and didn’t think how it would cast suspions on himself as well. I think her whole family knows what happened.
mariesilk,
Would have been nice if they did a walk through of that trailer under the same conditions of that night, to see just how brightly, or not, the kitchen light really shined into that room.
I’m in my office with only a computer monitor and small desk light eminating light. Thick drapes are closed, no light coming in from the moon or street, yet there is considerable difference in my perception of brightness from a light coming in from the hallway’s bright 100 watts, when I turn the small desk lamp on/off.
Perhaps police have already tested the validity of her comments regarding the bright kitchen light, by recreating the bedroom lighting conditions of that night/morning.
mariesilk, what I’m trying to do is take the facts, however scarce, and make a hypothesis based on them to answer the question “What happened to Haleigh?”
We can hypothesize that
a) A stranger abducted Haleigh
b) A family member abducted Haleigh
c) An accident happened to Haleigh
a) What evidence exists to support the hypothesis that a stranger abducted Haleigh? I would think none since LE has ruled this out.
So now we are left with options b and c.
What does the evidence say?
We can also make observations using a little pyschology.
Misty has referred to Haleigh in the past tense, if she truly believes Haleigh is alive she would not do this.
Misty has tried to deflect suspicion from herself by first saying she believed Cousin Joe was the perp and then by trying to cast the suspicion onto Crystal and her family.
Thirdly, when questioned hard she tries to garner pity for herself by saying she’s just a kid, how much can she take?
Polly, I can’t really go with not including the possibility that a stranged did it on the basis of LE ruling it out. None of the reasons they’ve given for ruling it out really stand up.
And I can think of a scenario for all the other possibilities too. As far as I know there is no reason to think any of them could NOT have happened.
And, Polly, no one has been pressured or interrogated more (by LE, the media, etc) than Misty. So we don’t really know how others would stand up to such pressure. I don’t really think Crystal did it but her statements and expressions on camera can be questioned too.
(I do think it’s possible that a relation or acquaintance of Crystal’s did it though).
m2c all I’m saying is what does the evidence say? I know that LE sometimes plays along with a suspect. Case in point: A few years ago a woman claimed to be a victim of a carjacking and her 7 year old son was in the car. She tearfully told the reporters how she watched as the “suspect” smothered her son with a pillow, that just happened to be in the car, and she was helpless to stop it. The local news even ran a description of the “suspect” for 2 weeks. At the time I told my husband that something wasn’t right and that I believed she had done it. LE played right along with it up to the time they arrested her.
Someone propping the backdoor open with a cinder block? Misty waking up to find Haleigh gone just moments before Ron got home?
Sounds too contrived. Possible? Yes. Probable? No.
I’m not trying to come across as a smart a** or to be offensive to any bloggers, but ya gotta look where the evidence tells ya to. There have been more cases of a family member or in Misty’s case, pseudo-family member, involved with a child’s disappearence than a random predator.
Misty was adult enough to quit school, chain-smoke on national television and play house with a grown man then she is certainly adult enough to be scrutinized by the media and grilled by LE. If she doesn’t like all the attention she’s been receiving then she can stop making appearences on morning news programs, stop engaging in reckless behavior on the highway, stop getting robbed while attempting to buy drugs, and just tell the freakin’ truth about what happened to Haleigh.
I really think this girl comes from a hard life and hard times street smarts and knows she can never tell the truth if she does know anything, out of fear she knows she would be in big trouble! Shes more than likley thinking they will never find out anything now? But they are going to keep watching her and a lot more people, you can bet on it!
I agree Linda. No body, no crime? Casey thought she got away with it, too. In that case I believe it was premeditated, but in the Haleigh case I believe it was most likely an accident. I think Misty knows if she were to come clean now she would be in deeper pile of doo-doo than if she just told the truth 8+ months ago.
Just a thought… most criminals are more inclined to stick to the behavior that they know and feel very comfy with. Tommy, I believe went to the house on Ron’s urging and possibly snooped around hoping he’d get lucky and would be able to steal something.
Leads me to this… was anything ELSE taken besides the baby?
cent,
Good question?
Tough,
I was reading the earlier comments… all with very valid points. It hit me, I don’t remember hearing of anything else taken.
If we take Ron’s “How you let my daughter get stole” statement to mean just that, you sort of can say, he’s implying that there WAS a robbery.
And if that’s the case, then I would venture to say Misty was doing something for HIM @ the time (Illegal)… makes me wonder if she was robbed of dope/money in the home.
Just one more question from me before I retire.
Does anybody remember the 911 call from Mary Brooks(Amber’s grandma) about Ron riding around in the parking lot of her apartment complex? She said that a skinny black guy was knocking on her door. Has that guy been id’d?
Polly,
Yes I remember the call, don’t know if he was ID’d… It would seem that after the incident, it was all forgotton. Maybe LE didn’t believe it held any barron on the case.
Although if all was true with the incident, I would think it shows a little insight into Ron’s psyche. He seems to behave as if the laws of the land DON’T apply to him.
I agree cent, also Jr said a man in black took Haleigh, if this is true, could he have meant a black man and if THIS is true and WBG has been ruled out is the skinny black guy involved? He could be a friend to both Ron and Misty. Maybe he partied with them.
Cent,
Interpreted literally, he’s saying Misty is responsible for letting someone steal Haleigh.
I too wonder if there were drugs in the house, or drug money that they can’t report as stolen. I think the anger Ron has towards Misty is because she took something and passed out. It is quite likely that she awoke to the noise of Haleigh being taken without realizing what it was that woke her at the time. You can hear Ron looking through cupboards or something on the 911 call. It seems when Ron talks that he was almost expecting some type of retaliation for something, just shocked that it would be his daughter. This would explain why he is always pleading on tv that she is not a bike or a pair of shoes. He doesn’t think that the punishment fit his crime.
Just because the light wouldn’t be bright in the bedroom does not mean she wouldn’t have noticed it when she got out of bed. Like I said before, she probably thought Ron was home.
Hypothesis:
Misty used Tommy’s wife’s van herself to dispose of Haleigh, her cell phone was turned off or battery removed so there wouldn’t be any “pings” to give it away. Having seen so much coverage of Casey, she could have figured that out.
I just thought of something. Ron could not get a hold of Misty that night from work. So she wouldn’t have known that he was working late. How come she hasn’t mentioned anything about Ron not being home when she woke and saw it 3am and he wasn’t there?
Hmmmm…….
Polly,
I don’t think WBG had anything to do with the case, besides his sex/drug fest he shared with Misty.
Blues,
Yes he is saying Misty is responsible, but in what way? Because she was in charge of her? How is it her fault, if it happened the way THEY claim. It would be a fluke.
I’ve been reading this for months, really gets aggravating when you read same scenarios, over and over. First everyone please lay off the reactions of the closest people involved. Everyone has credited Somers Mom, I personally could never be that way…how do I know? I lost a son. Second why question Maury’s show? The same people who [post here nightly or daily, surely have read as I have Ron clocked in at work on time with his fingerprints. Sure Maury’s show didn’t give the details when read or heard but I really don’t think I was getting dark and Ron and Misty was putting kids to bed before 4:00 p.m.
Mariesilk,
That’s something else that has been dusted over. Never a complete answer for that. What time was the last conversation between those two that night, I mean did he not tell his children good-night???
Right cent, the guy who was knocking on Mary Brooks’ door. That was not WBG, who is he? Could he be the guy who Jr allegedly saw?
If it is true Ron called Misty repeatedly to talk her out of babysitting other children, Misty may have shut her phone off and left the trailer with Haleigh and JR to babysit at another house.
Haleigh might have been ‘stolen’ from the house Misty was babysitting at.
Polly,
Don’t know who he is!! If Jr. is to be believed then whoever the guy in the trailer is, was making the couch go b-O-u-N-c-E with Misty.
If that happened then what time was it, would Misty risk big bad Ronnie coming home and catching her? After all, they hadn’t spoken, she didn’t know he was working overtime… OR DID SHE?
mariesilk,
Ron frequently worked overtime, and may have told her he was going to work over when he called her and tried to talk her out of babysitting.
Or maybe all the couch bouncing was going on at a different location.
Cent,
She probably knew he was working overtime that night because he called her repeatedly. Reportedly, they argued because she wanted to babysit and he did not want her to.
She may have shut off the phone and went to another house to babysit.
That’s what I wonder, Polly.
Or maybe she wanted to go “babysit” Mr. Bouncy.
I get your point Polly… they may have left and that’s why Tommy fingered Misty as being gone. I also have to say that I doubt very seriously that Misty’s family wouldn’t know her plans that night. They strike me as people who constantly run their mouths.
Maybe Tommy knew she wasn’t home and took that opportunity to go back after having cased the joint earlier that evening to steal.
This is a little off base…
But do you ever wonder why, when they are giving interviews, they are NEVER asked these questions in detailed??
Everything is presented in a round-about-way.
When Tommy was confronted at the door of his home with the allegations Misty made about him molesting her, he said ‘That’s crazy’.
When Misty was confronted at the airport about the allegations Courtney made that go beyond throwing a finger, she said ‘That’s crazy’.
If anyone can lead me to a link of Lisa, Hank, Tommy or any other Croslin using the phrase ‘That’s crazy’, please do.
I want to learn whether the family members respond with ‘That’s crazy’ when they’re telling the truth, and truly feel that way, or when they are lieing.
Y’all it’s been great this evening! But I’ve got homework to do all weekend. So as a favor, if any of y’all see me blogging, please tell me to get off and crack the books.
Good night everyone.
Polly,
Same here! I have a whole weekend of homework to get out of the way.
G’night!
What if these same girls came and picked up misty to go buy drugs and she had to take the children with her?
we know now it was 8;30pm when they tryed to make a buy this last time trip, what if they followed them to the car and grabed Haleigh or they left the children in the car while they went in to make a buy and come out and she was gone? Would she call police knowing ron would kill her ass, and so she came up with a differant story? I still do not understand why ron went along with the lie that she was at home, maybe she told him she turned off the phone and went to bed?I would hate to be ron if this is the way it turned out and he still would not know the truth!
Linda,
That’s possible, too.
I wonder if Misty set off on foot, carrying JR and holding Haleigh’s hand as they walked to where she planned to babysit, and the path they took was picked up by the dog.
I haven’t followed the info posted about the dog trail, so I wonder if it led to an area where Misty is known to have friends, relatives.
Wonder if Misty has shared info about that Feb night with her pals from Ragsdale Apt!
If it was that important to Misty to babysit some other children… why not babysit at Ron’s?
Did he not want anyone else in there, or perhaps he didn’t like the parents!?!
And, does anyone know who those children were, did LE speak to the parents?
Cent,
Couldn’t they have named the apartments something better than ‘Ragsdale’?
Who knows, maybe she ‘babysat’ at one of those apartments off ‘Moody’ road.
Cent,
Could be the parents wanted the children in their own beds.
Very likely drugs would be present at some time during the day or night at any home she went to babysit at because parents who use drugs are surely the only ones who would think it safe to have another drug user babysit their children.
Ragsdale Apartments on Moody Lane, well why not Mushroom Apartments in Cocaine Alley?
Kids have to grow up there, so whomever is responsible for naming the projects in that area needs to stop rubbing it in.
Cent,
That she left to babysit is possible, but we don’t know for certain that she did.
Ron repeatedly called her because she wanted to babysit, and he wanted to convince her not to.
I just have a hard time believing that jr wouldn’t have said that they went somewhere. They have special people for interviewing children, I think he would have said if they left. If she did leave, I think she left the kids.
Off-Topic: This is an update in the Somer Thompson case. There are 161 SOs living within a five mile radius of Somer’s home! In the Slide Show, there is a map of the location of Somer’s home and the location of the SOs. Unbelievable! Also, the vacant home is considered a crime scene per LE. Interesting and factual article!

Interesting info in this video!
I hope they find Haleigh’s assailant who ever it may be. I hope that closure is gained and that everyone can rest at night. Haleigh deserves the truth to be revealed.
Misty never mentioned the dream, she may have had about 4 people in the house, until the hypnotist asked her if she had any dreams. She said no, she didn’t remember any dreams. That question is what put the dream story in her mind. When she learned she had failed all those tests, she came up with the seems like I had a dream business.
I still don’t think Misty would have even thought about going out in the back and getting a big, heavy cinderblock to hold the door open. A woman wouldn’t think thay way.
Since there was discussion in previous comments earlier today about SOs and the vacant house re Somer’s death, here is an update:

In the video, there is a picture of the SO who worked at the vacant house some time ago.
Hi, Karon Cox!
It looks like you and I are the only ones out cruising around this late or should I say this very early in the morning! LOL
You know Karon……it might not be safe for us to be out at this time in the morning! I think I am going to go home where it “should” be safe! Later…..
This is an update from Jax4 (TV) in Jacksonville re Somer Thompson. The video news clip is 11 minutes and 56 seconds but it has all kinds of info, including an interview with the S0s brother. According to him, his brother has not worked at that vacant home.
Somer must have been brutally murdered because her mother will be given a lock of Somer’s hair but the police have asked her to not view the body (per the reporter).
As a result of Somer’s murder, a group has been formed in the area….”Mother’s Against Predator’s”. The website should be up and running soon.
In my opinion, this is an informative news clip:

This is very tragic….another child murdered. Mr thoughts and prayers are with her family.
Somer, you innocent child, may you walk with Jesus! I know you are one of God’s little, precious angels! Rest in peace!
Re my 2:03 a.m. comment, per the interview with the SO’s brother, the SO did NOT work at this vacant home. That is per the brother, not the police!
Hi Justice. Better get some sleep.
Mariesilk:
People who are on drugs are deparate to get drugs. If it took drugging those children to go to that party, that could certainly happen. I think when those of us who are not on drugs, examine this case, we miss the whole picture. We can’t imagine people taking risks on their lives or their children’s lives to get drugs. That is what drug addicts do. Their whole life revolves around drugs.
Jr. may have been asleep because he was drugged and not know where he was.
NOT ONLY THAT BUT HER PAYMENT FOR BABYSETTING MAY HAVE BEEN DRUGS? AND SHE JUST COULD NOT WAIT TO TAKEM? wHY SHE CAN NOT EXPLAIN ANYTHING!
mariesilk: You said, “They have special people for interviewing children.”
I have never heard that PCSO talked with Jr or that they had someone special talk with him. Did you hear that or maybe hoping they did that?
I think if Misty HAD babysat other children that night, those people would have spoken up right quick. Not even to support her necessarily but because if she was caring for their kids, too, at their home OR at Ron’s, then their kids were in harm’s way as well- IF what happened to Haleigh was her fault.
Karon Cox said,
I still don’t think Misty would have even thought about going out in the back and getting a big, heavy cinderblock to hold the door open. A woman wouldn’t think thay way.
__________________________________
Consider this. Misty came home and found Haleigh missing. Could she have been trying to implicate cousin Joe early on. Did she put the block there because Joe had supposedly done this before? I do not think the block was put there to hold the door open for a man or a woman to take Haleigh out. I think Misty put the block there after she discovered Haleigh was missing.
one or the other , either she knows , or she had something to do with Haleighs disappearance? she is suppose to be the last and only one to have seen Haleigh alive,
If Haleigh was abducted while Misty slept , then she is a great sleeper , it would have been terrifing to be awaken to find someone taking one of your children,
and it would be scarey to be awaken and find one of your children gone , then what would you do?
just think ..while you were lying there, you and the other child could have been murdered ,
Had you been awakend and startled the abductor, you could have been in deep trouble ,RIGHT?
Now to clarify what I had said earlier in one of my post ,There is no need to prop open a door when carrying a small child , when carrying a small child such as Haleigh,
I use to carry my children and grchildren all the time , no problem ,
I am able carry any heavy object and STILL I am able to exit without propping a door , carrying a small child, most people flopp them on their shoulder,(if the had fallen asleep ) ,I believe the door was propped for some other reason and it doesn’t apply to the so called ‘abduction ”
I also said earlier that, this may have been planned , or it could have been an accident & Misty was afraid to tell Ron,
In my oppinion , Ron Loves Haleigh he would not deliberately harm her ,
Misty hmmm ,—————————
MOI..while being with someone in a relationship for 3&1/2 yrs , he had a 16 yr old daughter , she worshipped the ground her dad walked on, (big Daddy) she did not like me at all,even tho I was good to her $$ sewing cooking name it , she had caused so MUCH trouble between her dad & I ,I finally had to say G’bye to him ,she controled him as well. she was terribly jealous insanely jealous , she was also jealous of my then 2 yr old grand son , horrible things she would say about him , any way I think misty wanted Ron & no-one else . just a thought .sorry for the ranting
Mc2,
Please share with the the information you need a FACT on to solve this case. I will gladly give it to you, because I know what the FACTS are. Better yet, why don’t you send that information to the new email address posted by the Sheriff’s office and I’m sure someone will communicate with you if it is legitimate. Oh, as you spew, the Sheriff’s Office doesn’t know what they are doing. As for the sex offenders being checked out so fast, I believe if you had the FACTs you would know that answer, but here it is. The FBI, FDLE and PCSO had a working group of people who were assigned, checking out the offenders. Agents with FBI who deal directly with sex offenders were assigned to investigate. Thats why they were able to do it so quickly. Over 300 officers on the ground the first 4 days of Haleigh missing. As for the garbage dumps that you credit the great work of CCSO with. Another FACT for you is that (1) it is the protocol to do that (look at the Missing Childs response Plan on their website) (2) PCSO did the same thing. All trash collected from the area was coordinated with the trash company, one truck used to collect it all, and taken to a segregated location at the dump, where 85 officers, dogs, etc, searched all of the trash. KUDOs to CCSO for having the same foresight as PCSO, in a horrible case to follow guidelines set forth for investigating a missing child complaint.
While you continually challenge the competency of PCSO, you really have no FACT to back up your claim, yet your lack of knowledge in the case lead to inaccurate opinions. I agree that everyone can speak and say what they want. No problem with that, but if you claim advocacy for the missing child, at least advocate on truths, not innuendo.
No Agency is perfect, remember the officers working this case (FBI,FDLE, and PCSO) are not the bad guy here. There only motive in this case is to find a missing child. (one of many still missing in this country unfortunately)
Holding the investigators accountable to work hard on the case, no problem. But what you believe should be done, is not always what educated, trained, and competent professionals do. Again, go to the academy, learn how to be an investigator, and I guarantee, you will look at this investigation through different eyes. BUT PLEASE continue to offer your theories and ideas, because that is good. You may say something that is so off the wall, that it may help find the girl.(NO sarcasm meant in that statement.) The only thing I wish you would stop doing is the unjust opinions that challenge the integrity of the investigation by these agency’s, when YOU DO NOT KNOW THE FACTS.
m2c, mariesilk is accurate. They had someone from DCF who is trained to speak with children on abuse, traumatic experiences. I remember readind an article on this and hearing it on Nancy Grace when she talked to Susan Moss about it.
“come on” – I’ve been ASKING for info! My doubts and worries are from the LACK OF IT! You’re the one who seems to know so much but will only share when you have the chance to put someone down in an aggressive, nasty, hateful manner.
I would have welcomed information like this if (a) I knew it was from a credible source (and your attitude doesn’t lead me to believe that – why should it? YOu sound like you “have a dog in this fight” as your good ole’ boy Cobra would say) and (b) I would have welcomed it if it was from someone other than a defensive, hateful, ranting attacker like you who seems to WANT people to be wrong so they can look so “right!” Poor you. I’m just looking for info and Haleigh. Not looking to be right or smart, like you seem to need to do!
LOL!
Justice -
Thank you so much for posting the links to the videos about Somer Thompson!
Oh and, “come on,” PCSO has brought this kind of doubt on themselves partly by making such sweeping statments about clearing SOs (well those aren’t the only ones in this country) and clearing everyone on Crystal’s side of the family. Really? Everyone has a rock solid alibi for the middle of that night? Come on, “come on!”
They’ve targeted Ditzy from the start. Maybe they are right. I don’t know. But if they are not then we are certainy entitled to worry if they do not continue the investigation in other directions.
working1 (9:46 a.m.),
You welcome!
DCF talking to JR does not mean they learned much, if anything, about what happenned. Children his age do not understand the concept of time, days, dates.
My nephew was assaulted at age 2 by the teenage son of his babysitter. The professionals told us that because he was much more verbal than most 2 yr olds, he was able to tell them what happenned, although not in adult language terms.
We were first alerted that something was wrong when he was fearful in the bathroom after coming home from the babysitters. He was afraid of what he called a ‘monster’ at the window.
come on,
I back law enforcement most of the time, but not in this case. I think everyone should ask why and then why not when it it comes the way PCSO has handled it. Here are a few examples.
1. Why were the dogs left in a vehicle for a number of hours? LE stated they were waiting for dogs from Jacksonville. This is very strange to me.
2. Why did LE drag HaLeighs bedding outside onto the ramp to give the dogs HaLeighs scent? This compromised evedence. Normally a piece of clothing , a doll and/or another personal item is used.
3. Why were some of the most crucial evidence compromised? The door held open by the cinder block was left for close to a month. The solid door was never taken. These are very important pieces of evidence. These are just a few things to think about. In my opinion, this case has been compromised from the beginning.
4. Why did Crystal continue to change her story as to what Junior stated to her. First, a man dress in black. That changes to a black man dressed in black. Then a black man dressed in black with squeaky shoes. Why? Parents know the last thing you do is place a child in danger by putting them on national television. Do we really know what Junior stated to LE and why would a mother put her son in danger?
I wish everyone would stand back, look at the FACTS and ask yourself why, in every area on this case.
HaLeigh is my number one focus along with her family. Please, keep her in your prayers.
Be well
Rebecca
Justice, thank you for the info and links @ 2:43 am (“come on” – that’s a good example of how nice people with positive attitudes and good intentions share information)
Anyway, I hope that Somer was not brutally murdered. She may be in bad shape from how she was treated afterwards (in heaps of garbage). Gosh I don’t like even writing about this. I just thought I’d offer the hope anyway. Small hope that it is.
Well, Somer’s mom is going to only get a lock of her hair and won’t see her she said.
The SO they interviewed in Jax – his brother said that he was 19 and the girl was 16.
I hope they are looking at other sites of construction/renovations in the area. It is kind of obvious that the house they are investigating had some clues, but the house was empty and workers gone? . . . they have DNA now, though, and unless this was a first-time offender (maybe a teenager), they will know soon, I should think.
Hi, m2c (10:50 a.m.)!
You welcome! When I am researching, I am more than happy to take the time to come to a site to post and share information.
I wish more people would post Links to substantiate or support what they are saying when they state something to be a “fact” or just to provide and share info with everyone on this comment board.
Great discussions can be had sometimes when a Link is posted from a main stream media source, i.e., TV stations and newspapers or in the Casey Anthony Case – doc dumps.
We are having a gorgeous day in my little corner of the world in Texas today….so I am going to go outside and work in my yard. Have a great day, m2c! Be back later…..
Becca1 – Wow! Something we agree on!
That’s great! Normally I’m the first to support LE but in this case I can’t help having doubts.
Also I read in a mainstream news source that it was two days LATER that PCSO tracked and looked at the garbage in the area.
And why the free totally unnecessary “search” of the Sheffield/Griffis property which that family used to say “Look! We’re innocent.” Waste of money and it didn’t mean anything.
PLUS, has LE looked into the source of the $12,000 donated to get Crystal out of debt? I hope so. (As in who does that woman know who knows someone connected to that family?) Maybe LE is just not commenting on that but I can’t help but wonder.
Without real solid evidence that a certain person committed the crime, I don’t see how any doors can or should be closed for further investigation – that’s what has me worried.
I know there are a lot of people who are overzealous in their defense of Crystal, but really. How can you not wonder. There were a lot of really strange things going on with her setting up the Haleighbug center. How can you just rule it out completely? Why isn’t there dirt being dug up on that side? There is plenty there.
And how about Amber? Her family has a shady past with Ron and Misty too. Wasn’t it said there was a loud car like Amber’s heard in that area the night Haleigh went missing?
Misty is definitely not being fully honest, mostly cause she is just used to lying all the time. She shows all the signs of a habitual liar who will lie even when she doesn’t have to. I think she is lying to cover her guilty conscience of either getting high and passing out, or going out when the kids went to bed. I really don’t feel she directly had anything to do with Haleigh being gone, but I feel she blames herself, and knows everyone else would too. She probably feels like she has told enough of the truth for the le to find her, just too dumb to know better.
I am more suspicious of something happening at that party. Several people have claimed that Misty had the kids there that night, and LE must have thought enough of some of these claims that they drained the pond. In that area with the alligators, it is not surprising that they did not find a body. I suspect Nay Nay, Amber Brooks, WBG, and Misty knows what happened to Misty.
Ron and Misty separated right after that report came out. LE is waiting on some kind of solid proof or word from someone who is not an addict. People keep saying that story didn’t pan out, but, it may not have been dismissed, either.
This kind of accidental death makes alot more sense to me than saying some one deliberately killed her.
The neighbor told us a loud car came thru there
about 1:30 a.m. Cobra told us Amber drove a car that sounded like that. Cobra told us that Amber had splashed some kind of green chemical in the trunk of the car(supposedly to cover up something). Was Amber and Nay Nay bringing Misty back home?
The above is just my opinion.
This is a link to a interview with WBG. I find this video interesting. He says he got busted for drugs a number of times, but they weren’t his drugs. He just got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. He goes on to tell us he was running around with Misty, Nay Nay, and Amber Brooks, just getting a little high and partying. I am sure those weren’t his drugs either.
One of the dead give-aways of lie detecting, as far as reading body language is rubbing your nose. What part of this video does WBG rub his nose?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVkAPOfXZKQ
I posted this in connection with what I said above about the party.
Hey, Hey, Hey…. how is everyone?
Jumping right in… If Amber had her own car, why did she need to borrow Nay Nay’s? Maybe I missed something…. don’t know help me out please!!
Also I just want to say… that the problem is NOT asking questions… whoever said that LE/Gov shouldn’t be questioned. I was raised to ask questions regardless of who or what the entity may be. Sometimes I think that’s part of the problem with society, QUESTIONS are NOT being ASKED and ANSWERS are NOT being DEMANDED.
People just take it for granted that LE will do their jobs.
And NO I’m not bashing LE, I have very close ties to several people on different levels of LE. It’s just my thought!!!
cent @ 6:58pm – I agree. We wouldn’t be responsible citizens if we didn’t ask questions and demand responsible government/law enforcement. It’s part of the system of checks and balances and accountability!
m2c,
It’s everyone’s duty to apply that system. It is what our Gov is founded on. I think sometimes people are “timid” when it comes to authority.
I was never surprised when I worked in the jail system and read some of the complaints from the inmates. It usually had something to do with them feeling like they were being punished because they “questioned” the system.
LOL… they made sure that they exercised their right of freedom of speech.
cent:
I don’t know why Amber usually drove that car. Maybe some of the others can tell us. Cobra talked about it on one of the more recent Sunday wrap ups.
He said the car had been junked, but LE had it doing tests on it. It was mentioned that it would be hard to find any evidence since Amber poured that green cleaner in the trunk. That is a bit too much co-incidence to me.
LE wouldn’t have gone to that much expence draining that pond unless there was some evidence pointing to that particular pond.
Karen Cox:
I did notice WBG rub his nose while stating that the last time he saw Misty was Sunday. But the other thing I noticed is the mention of Ron being a person in the area who was known for being a thief. I have heard of Tommy being a thief, but not Ron. It is WBG, I know, but if he stole from the wrong person, he may have paid the ultimate price.
Karon,
That was Nay Nay’s car right? I guess if they can all share men, drugs, chill-ren… why not share cars??
I was thinking about something to wear around the neck, you know police used to have whisiles, and the lady who falls on tv and she can not get up! Some one needs to come up with something like this that would bring law inforement running to where ever they are ! It can be done!I know i would buy one two are three, think how many kids there are! If it saved one child it would be worth it, something a person could see hanging on a child might stop them from even trying! Our children are just to innocent, if Somer had one on it might have made her killer think before he acted! I think someone could come with something?
Linda,
That is a good idea!!!
OMG – did anyone see Geraldo tonight? He BLAMED Somer’s mother for her murder!!!! He said that people wouldn’t let a poodle walk that far — it was the most disgusting thing I have ever heard!!!
cent:
This is what Major Bowling said about how Misty(possibly) not being home fit into one of their theories on the case.
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/t…145521&catid=3
I am totally sick to my stomach — he did NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER — JUST BLAMED HER MOTHER FOR LETTING HER WALK HOME FROM SCHOOL!!!! Geraldo needs to be fired!! I thought he was going to look into what happened — he just blamed the mother!! Did anyone else see it?
I don’t why that link doesn’t work on this page, but you can type it on your google page and get an interesting video. Re: link above.
workingl:
I was watching that program, hoping he would say something about it, but I finally gave up. It must have been short.
Working,
I haven’t watched it yet, I think I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
I have been mad at Geraldo for awhile now.
Yes, it was VERY short!!! He covered everything else before it, and then he said, shaking his head, “another 7-year-old missing in Florida”. And then went on about the poodle thing, and then had his guests comment, and THEY were shaking their heads also!!! Nothing about the child or anything — it was cold, arogent and disguesting. I will never watch him again.
Geraldo=jerk, I would not have let my child walk to school but I certainly do not blame Somers Mom for her abduction/murder!!
Another thing last night on NG a woman in Somer’s neighborhood said the people in the neighborhood had gotten together and decided to wear purple to show the neighborhood kids who would be safe to go to in an emergency. So parents wearing purple are safe….the problem is she just told every pedophile around what colr to wear for a child to feel safe around them.
I know what you’re saying about not letting your child walk to school, but what about letting your child outside to get the mail?
And yes, saying they are going to wear purple tells them what to wear — but . . .?
My point is — Geraldo was totally inappropriate with the way he presented this — I am 100% sure he will get backlash from the callous way he talked about what happened.
That’s the same man that pledged to kill Osama Bin Laden and bronze his severed head.. or some crap like that.
He wasn’t talking that shit when he was hit in the face with that chair.. tough guy… picking on a grieving mom.
And the same guy who drew in the sand the plans the Americans were making in the war — wasn’t he sent back then — why not fired? Endangering our soldiers?
Really, you all have to see this – I usually like him, especially brother Craig, and when they did Stacy Peterson, but this was horrible.
This is probably not the place for this.. but has anyone ever watched his videos on youtube over the years… He really has a lot of nerves.. I just watched a few and I think he is nuts.. especially when he mocked the 9/11 protesters… OUT OF LINE!!!!
Why did Fox hire him?
I don’t know… he always seemed to be obsessed with The Mafia, JFK, Charles Manson.
Lets not forget… Al Capone’s vault Fiasco!!
People need to understand if you let your children or child walk to anywhere you are taking a chance that you may never see them again!
1. Get them a ride,
2. car pool something!
3. Buses need to be made to run for these smaller children these kids or so innocent they dont know what to do! I think the rule about living a mile from the school needs to be changed! Pick these children up no matter how far or how close they live do you see what is happending to our children!!People we pay taxes DEMAND they pick up your child, i did they wanted to let mind off down the rd to far for me to see her, i had a fit and guess what they pick her up at my door i see her get on and off the BUS, she was impressed with me that day! YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN PEOPLE GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT!!!!
Everybody’s awfully quiet tonight. Are you all wating for tomorrow’s radio program? I suppose we need some more information to talk about.
THAT REMARK ABOUT WEARING PURPLE IS CRAZY! ALL THEY GOT TO DO IS WEAR PURPLE!
Linda:
We really can’t afford to leave our children unattended, anymore. Some areas in Florida are really bad, also. I suppose her mother thought she would be safe in numbers.
I think that so many people really do believe that “this will never happen to me”. As a parent you do want to think your child will be fine when they’re out of your sight.
I have been accused of being “Over Protective” when it comes to my son. I’m just a realists when it comes down to his Medical and Psychological issues. I have always been deathly afraid of someone possibly targeting him. I must say that, now… I do see him coming into his own, so-to-speak. He is 17 and finding his voice.
Never-the-less… I am still a concerned mom
Schools and parents letting kids walk home from school for two miles,what is up with that?Somer’s sister who walked the twins home everyday is only 10.If no adults are watching the kids,the perverts sure are and it’s only a matter of time if something doesn’t change,something else will more than likely happen.And what person in thier right mind would tell a child that purple is safe,now all these perverts around there will wear purple.
WinterRose said,
And what person in thier right mind would tell a child that purple is safe,now all these perverts around there will wear purple.
———————————-
My thoughts exactly. Purple saves the day. Give me a break. Idiotic. I almost fell out of my chair. UUURRGGHH!!!!!
m2c, I find it amazing that people do have their ways of finding others. Done with good intentions or just misguided intentions. But, its done.. and yes, Misty is being cared for. Either by misguided posters, or maybe those who were so close prior, still have the basic info need to get in touch with Misty.. she may be on the move, but I’m sure Tim and Donna brock still have her phone number, and if its still the same phone that Tim Miller bought her, where you add the minutes, yea I would think he still has the number.. and he was not above giving her money or supporting her.. So what difference would this be. We know Donna is still actively in TES.. The I’m not longer with them wasn’t true. So take your choice, old fashion research, or availability right at hand.
maybe Tim will have a new plan for the next adventure sequel for Misty..
SolveCrimes, I would have to agree that a public statement telling a child for every SO in the world to grab hold of would not be a smart thing to do. But, I do know where the concept of Purple comes from. It is Bibical.
Would I advise my Grandchildren to wear Purple to maintain a safety from SO’s.. No I wouldn’t, I would use the Concept of the Purple color only in discussing the Bible with them. And, as I already have.. Created a folder on the desktop of this computer, and put in this folder the pages containing photos of each one of the SO’s in our Area, for the Children to look at, and remember what they look like, and teach the kids methods of getting away from these Monsters. When I’m dealing with 10 through 18.. Don’t even come back with you could scare the kids.. I would rather have them terrifed of these people, then have them harmed by these people!!
Good morning, All!
After reading what Somer’s father said before she was found and what he’s said and done since i’ve been wondering if it’s going to turn into a custody issue – and Geraldo loves those! From what you’ve said about Geraldo’s program last night it seems to reflect Somer’s father’s point of view.
What is with telling children they can run to a person who is wearing purple to be safe?
In that area, after what happened with Somer, I would think we’d be hearing about parents and neighbors within a 2 mile radius of that school volunteering to walk groups of children to school.
Or several volunteering to stand at each end of a block along the way! There should be an outpouring of help that would line every approach to that school with a “gauntlet” of safety for ALL children walking.
Simon, it is so pathetic that you BLOCK people who disagree with you from commenting. And you call yourself a “journalist”! LOL Couldn’t be further from the truth. Dissent is part of the package for REAL journalists of any time. You really are a slug and a laughingstock.
note from Jan- BNN Editor – What’s more pathetic is someone being banned that is so desperate for attention that he has to use a different IP to get in to our comments. And you sir call YOURSELF a journalist? Your name you chose for this comment is exactly what you are!!! Simon doesn’t publish an article to deliberately try to hurt someone as you do. So go whine about what you write instead.
m2c –
I thought the same thing about the custody battle. Do you know if all 4 children have the same father? It does show you what a lovely reputation Florida has now.
I think poor Haleigh is going to be a cold (if not already) case until they focus in on Donald Lee Sapp and the SEXUAL PREDITORS and maybe get one to snitch on the other.
To WhatAjoke (7:29a.m.):
Is the name calling necessary?
If you have a concern with Simon, don’t you think it would be more appropriate to e-mail him or Jan?
I agree with Justice. I don’t know what Simon would be blocking. Everyone says whatever they think on here. It would have to besomething really outlandish for Simon to
block it. Some of these sites edit your comments until you don’t recognize them.
M2C:
I don’t know if all of the children belong to the same father or not. He seems to be most interested in getting Somer’s twin. I wonder if that was because he is the youngest.
The father is in a wheelchair from a carwreck, right now. He is having a hard time getting to Fl. for the funeral.
If Whatajoke is who I think it is, I’ve SEEN him argue, berate and subsequently ban long-time bloggers and “friends” who dared to disagree with him (on several occasions). “Whatajoke” YOU are the JOKE!
Karon, I have not seen more articles or quotes. I guess you have. The only one I saw, he said, “children” so I thought he meant all of them. But of course he’s going to want his SON!
I think the twin is the only boy? Or maybe the twins were his children and the others are not.
If you find out please let me know.
And I would not worry about him getting to the funeral. There’s already a fund set up to receive donations for him. See the article at:
http://www.thetimesnews.com/news/thompson-29065-girl-members.html
To Karon (11:23 a.m.):
Re: Somer’s father
A father’s friend who is in the limo business donated a van (I think it seats 15) and $500 to the father. He was suppose to have left Sat. morning. I posted a video link somewhere on one of Simon’s threads. I’ll see if I can find it!
To Karon:
Here is the video clip regarding Somer’s father…..friend donating van and $500:

Jan (Comment to WhatAjoke – 7:29 am):
Way to go Jan!
Some people are disgusting! If I was banned from a site, I certainly would not try to come in under another name. You are right……sounds like a rather pathetic person to me!
Justice:
Thanks for the link. I am glad he is getting the help that he needs.
M2C:
I saw two interviews by the father. In one, he said he was going after the twin. In the other, he said, He was going to try to get his kids. There is a 13 yr. old boy and a 10 yr. old girl from what I have read.
How many by Somer’s father, I am not sure. If I find out I will post it.
The father has been in Iraq, from what I have read. Then was in a bad carwreck that has put him in a wheelchair for awhile.
I heard somewhere that the 13 year old is a girl, too. Also, that the dad’s injuries were from a truck accident in Iraq. But I do not know if that is correct. Just FYI
There is an older boy, though, because I remember Diena saying that her “son, my oldest, just fell out, started bawling”.
this is what is pathetic,
when a person calls the radio show and ask to speak to someone else and then someone else pops in wanting to add their two cents and when the person who calls in doesnt want to talk to him they get hung up on.
it was said today on the radio show that this show isn’t about a certain person, well wth have we been hearing for the last several months?
it’s all about him and his b/s but when he gets called on it we rudely get hung up on.
how flippin professsinal is that? the lies that have been told by this person are coming back to bite him in his ass, and frankly imo i hope he gets the book throwed at him and he ends up where he has sent some many other low life bottom feeding pigs.
JUST MY OPINION AND YES I AM INTITLED TO IT.
YOU GOING TO SUE ME NOW FOR STATING AN OPINION?
IM SURE THIS WONT GET POSTED HERE BUT IF NOT THERE ARE OTHER PLACES TO POST THEM.
THERE WHERE OTHER PEOPLE COAXING ME ON HOW TO SNAG A CERTAIN PERSON, AND NOW THEY WANT OT ACT INOCCENT. WE WE’RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER.
KSUE,
They all spread gossip, but the Harris dude is the worst. You ever read any of that garbage he puts out?
Anyway, they all talk crap on everyone under the sun, then when called out on it claim its ‘all about Haleigh’.
Not a peep out of the ‘guests’ when Simon hung up on the caller, but they all, TJ Hart especially, whine and cry belly about a lack of ethics in the reporting OTHER people do.
Yeah, right. They need to practice what they preach.
Jeff, sorry, but you don’t get a free pass saying that about TJ Hart. He is the ONLY one who has truly been professional in his reporting. He may have made some mistakes but always owned up and corrected them.
The way I heard it, a CALLER brought up the subject about the other site and Simon let it go on for a little while and then quite rightly put a stop to it because the program IS supposed to be about Haleigh. If he hadn’t done that, you and everybody else would have been screaming about that! LOL!
Ksue & Jeff, I am not trying to make you two mad by what I am saying here. I am just giving you some things to consider.
1st of all, if you know TJ and follow his reporting you know he does his best to report the news with truth. I listen to TJ every chance I get and have never heard him whine.
Ksue, I don’t know if you were able to hear what was said before your call but they had just answered that same question. I didn’t think Simon was hanging up on you, I took it that he meant we were moving on to another subject because we had covered that. I know you are referring to Cobra & Kim being on the outs before and friend’s again etc. That is a confusing situation. All we can do is trust that this is for the best. We don’t know all the facts and only see a section of the picture. I agree this is about Haleigh but many of the other issues are reality because of Haleigh & this case. Ksue I just wanted to say I don’t think what happened was against you or personal. The wish you made on Cobra to go to jail is sad to me. I am sure you don’t mean it that you want him to go to jail. That would be such a heinous injustice you don’t really wish that do you?
Yes, we are all in this together, we want justice, we want Haleigh home, we want to know who did this to her, and we don’t want injustices against anyone. right?
Thanks for listening, Treece
FYI, I exclude Denny and Simon from my remarks above as they are not exactly “reporting” on Haleigh’s disappearance the way TJ is. So my comments were not intended as slights to them.
ksue – I’m sorry. I misunderstood the topic you were talking about. But I second what treece said above and in the same spirit.
trecce and m2c i wasn’t talking about tj, i think we all know who i was talking about.
i do personaly feel simon hung up on me because he didnt want to hear the truth.
heck he let john regan talk for what 10-15 minutes?
we all should be treated fairly and have a chance to address our concerns.
i have had all i can take of the lies and the turning around of the truth to last me into eternity.
and imo when it comes to a certain b/stter who turns and twist the truth, he’s no better than the low life low bottom barrel pigs he’s sent to prison.
not more than 2 weeks ago this person publicly stated he wasn’t at no fake search. well today you all heard him say he was.
makes me wonder what other lies and b/s we have been told by him.
he denies everything he told tim holmseth but right there it is in full audio, cobras foul mouth spouting off.
karma is a bitch and it will come back to get you.
imo jmo he’s run is over.
and before i close i’d like to add how simon said that this show wasn’t about cobra, well what the heck have we been having to listen to for the last few months in order to hopefully catch some news on haleigh.
imo cobra whinning, begging ,pleading and sobbing about how broke he is.
well all i have to say is it’s his own damn fault thinking he was going to snag a big fish while pretending to look for haleigh.
one sews what they reap.
the truth fears no lies.
but the lies do have fear and it is showing.
Ksue, I haven’t talked to Simon, I heard the same show you did, so I can only speculate what I think happened. However, I do believe Simon & Jan are both honest, fair, caring people. I don’t believe that Simon hung up on you because he didn’t want to hear the truth. I think he had just heard from Rev Ragan & Cobra what happened that day. I think since they were both eye witnesses to that day Simon didn’t feel that me, you, or anyone else who wasn’t there, had a vote is saying what happened that day. I don’t think that was personally against you just like it wouldn’t have been against me.
What I understood Cobra to say was he was at that search and it was real not fake, so no I didn’t hear a contradiction in his statement.
Cobra admitted himself that Tim H had some recordings of him cussing and acting out. He said at 1st he trusted Tim H and later learned he wasn’t trust worthy. So I just accept that is how Cobra sees it.
There was a time that I felt like you do, “had all I could take”, with this case. I took a break. This is a sad case and it does cause us all stress. Even if we are just a blogger we get emotionally involved and it can get too heavy. So I suggest you take a break, don’t blog or read about the case for a few days. Give yourself a chance to refocus a breath of fresh air. Then if you still feel like Simon is biased or unfair then I would find another place to express myself where I was more in agreement.
I agree with you we all, “reap what we sow” and we all need to be aware of what we are sowing. Hope this helps. treece
Ksue:
People have made it clear to Simon and T.J. that we want to hear and talk about the details of finding Haleigh. We don’t want to hear about who lied, what faults Cobra has, what faults KP, has, or who said they were with the FBI. We don’t care.
Cobra has alot of good information for us about this case, and he has put his heart into it.
Some of you people want to consume the whole radio program with that kind of fighting, and most of us don’t want to hear about it. When you take up all the time on that kind of stuff, we learn nothing new about Haleigh’s case.
Simon is trying to be diplomatic to everyone, but he knows people are wanting to hear about Haleigh, and the people directly involved with this case. I think he is doing a good job, and it was a good program, today.
I listened to the radio show for the first time today, and probably my last. I was left unimpressed, I am wondering how Simon can now say that the day of the ‘supposed’ search doesn’t have anything to do with finding Haleigh. If this happened, which Cobra said it did (at first) it is relevant. Members of the maternal family being implicated in something like this is suspect. I don’t care what anyone says.
I understood Jan’s point about people changing their minds and their views on this case, I have many times. However, I think the real issue today was that Cobra was changing his account of the events of that day, not his opinion of the people involved or the people reporting it.
I was quite surprised when 2 successive callers who were trying to bring this point out were hung up on. I don’t know how you can say that is not biased.
All that happened on the show today, IMO, makes me even more suspicious of that day and the Haleighbug center all together. Something is not right with that situation. If they are raising money for searching and raising the reward, lets see it. So far, I have seen nothing like that. I think Crystal’s family just moved back up to the top of my list of suspects.
Something stinks, and I believe a little girl is lost in it.
Mariesilk:
You really need to listen to the program more than once to get an idea of what is really going on. Simon lets people make their point, but he has to keep the show moving. He is, also, aware of what all he needs to update all of us on. I don’t think he is trying to hang up on people, but he has alot to cover.
I just read an article about Somer Thompson’s father, and he said he was going to Fl. to get Somer’s twin and his two other children. I think all of the children must be his. He says he wants to take them back to NC where they will be safe.
I don’t mean this against the one’s that called in. Simon had just gone over what happened that day with Cobra and Rev Ragan who were there, eye witnesses. I don’t think Simon wanted to debate the situation with a blogger who was not an eye witness. I think he would have moved on if I or the governor had been the caller. I don’t think he was going to allow anyone who wasn’t an eye witness that day to take up any more time on that subject. Karon, I agree he just wanted to cover other issues.
Has anyone heard how Misty has recovered from her injuries after that robbery? Where is she staying, until, she can move in with her family? What has Ron been doing since he and Misty separated?
Simon was outright not allowing Cobra to be confronted about his lies. I heard it. I understand he has to keep the show going, but why does one caller get 5 minutes, and the next can’t finish her sentence? The blogger wanted to confront a witness (Cobra) about the sudden change in his version of events from that day. What motivation is there for the about face? Someone is trying to save their ass at all costs, if this story today is the ‘truth’ Mr. Cobra, why lie before? You can’t have it both ways, you were either lying then or you are lying now.
I still don’t like how Simon said that it had nothing to do with finding Haleigh. I am not listening to the show because of Cobra being involved with it, not Simon.
COBRA LIED. Again, and Simon keeps asking him to come back.
I read that Somer has a 13 yr. old brother and a 10 yr. old sister. Has anyone seen the 13 yr. old boy during all of this? I have seen the 10 yr. old girl, but not the boy.
And also, no new thread, and this one has dropped off the bottom of the homepage?
The stink is getting stankier….
still quite disturbed by this week’s missing/murdered children-its all getting to be too much and way too frequent. Somer hit close to home, my cousin and her 2 small kids live just a couple of blocks away and have since decided to move. Aparent should never have to suffer like these parents have!! It really makes me wonder about LE, Searchers, Parents involement with Haleigh, why has it been 8+ months and no closer to finding out where she is or what happened, imo there is a coverup,payoff, family/friend favor, somethng is TERRIBLY WRONG…..HALEIGH IS STILL MISSING!
And it doesn’t help that so many people who are involved in this case are so obviously deceptive. From family members to friends to fame seekers looking to make a name for themselves. It is sad.
Toughenough:
I know it is sad, but most of these cases go unsolved. It is really not that surprising she hasn’t been found. If you look past all the creepy people who were part of Haleigh’s life, she was most likely snitched by some pervert who has never even been caught before. That river out there leads a far ways away and there are a lot of woods out there to hide in. It is not a pleasant thought, but the person could just be very thorough in planning. Watching, waiting and making a calculated move at the right moment. I think Misty went out that night when the kids were sleeping (you would be amazed how many drug addicts don’t think twice about it) and he was there watching and she is scared to tell. By now, she has told her story so many times she probably believes it herself. The ramifications of this won’t set in for her till she is clean and older, IMO.
Sorry for my ranting, the show got me heated today.
Toughenough:
I agree there is something so off about this Cummings’ case that we can’t put our finger on. I think that is why we can’t put it down.
All of these cases are so tragic.
Mariesilk, I know, I wonder if it will ever be solved, I wish LE would search for Chad Reynolds but there are so many RSO everywhere and MANY more that have not yet been caught, I think the chances a family member did anything directly is slim..but then my theories change pretty often.
I wonder if LE knows more than we do or if they are in the same boat. It does seem that certain searchers want us to believe they know more but I don’t believe it, they leave inuendos here and there that they “know something and will share later then as soon as there is a news story they claim this is what they were talking about…we could all do this, its the same bait psychics use, imo

Mariesilk:
I believe in what the Bible says about we reap what we sow. The people who hurt Haleigh or neglected Haleigh will reap the consequences in this life. There won’t be a peaceful, good life for anyone involved in this. Call it Karma or whatever, but what goes around, comes around. I also believe everything comes to the light sooner or later. Think of the turmoil involved in living with all of this, always looking over your shoulder.
t is very hard to get custody away from the one given..Not faulting the Father here in this sad time..But he has stated, he hasn’t talked to Somer in the last 2 yrs when she came for a visit, so I hardly think he would be given Father of the year award..and what makes him think NC is safer..
Just Wondering:
I like you, wonder if he could get custody. The father has been in Iraq and had a bad carwreck or truck wreck(not sure which). He is in a wheelchair after surgery. I don’t know anymore details about him. I lived in Florida for over a year and I do think they have more trouble there, but our children aren’t safe anywhere.
trecce,
so you suggest i take a break, don’t blog or dont read for awhile?
rotflmfao.
i’m glad to see you are the new mod or therapist of BNN.
i dont need your advise or noone else’s.
if you want to sit back and continue to be feed lies, then so be it.
some of us dont like hot air blowed up our asses. when want the truth, not i was mad when i said those things,
so in a few days when i do come back to blog i will just say i was mad when i spouted off at the mouth.
pleaseeeeeeeeee forgive me.
Ksue, no I am not the mod or therapist for BNN. I was simply offering you a friendly suggestion.
Why no radio wrap up for yesterday??
New thread…….
mariesilk, my guess would be that Simon has alot to write about this one and it will be out shortly. just guessing, have a good day. treece
Also, Jan and Simon write lots of articles on other subjects and I would hope they have some time for some kind of life other than at BNN.
We have a place to blog – right here. I don’t see why we should require or feel entitled to a special article on which to blog. Geesh.
Mariesilk:
There may not be anything new to write about on this subject. People are getting interested in this little Somer Thompson case, right now, also.
Just saying,, usually there is one right away.
mariesilk, I apologize. My last post sounded rude. Well, it was rude. I’m sorry.
We can talk here until there’s a new article. It’s okay. In fact it’s kind of good because for the past week or so there have been so many threads and we’ve been all over the place so maybe we can stay here and talk a while.

For Polly and Cents comments on 10/23 – I believe the person that was with RC on the “visit” to Amber Brooks’ home was Orlando Traylor a/k/a Orlando Mathew.
Just want to clarify my 10/25 @ 2:12 am post
I should of said Developmental Disabilities… NOT Psych… wouldn’t want my son to read this and get the wrong impression.
Besides.. That post whipped my ass……
