This just in from TJ Hart – Jan Barrett
February 10, 2009 was early morning when 5-year-old HaLeigh Cummings of Satsuma, FL was discovered missing from her home at Hermit’s Cove.
As we approach the one-year anniversary of her disappearance, not much more is really known as to how she vanished and who might have taken her and where she is now.
What is known of that night so far, according to Putnam County Sheriff’s and FDLE investigators is that:
* The girl’s father, Ronald Cummings was at work at PDM in Palatka.
* The girl’s mother was in Baker County.
* The girl’s babysitter-then stepmother-then ex-stepmother Misty Croslin was the last person to see HaLeigh and investigators believe she is the key to this case. They maintain that her stories about the night are inconsistent and conflict with the evidence.
Since that night, a wide number of subplots and sideshows have taken place. Click here for the timeline.
On January 20, 2009, Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin along 3 others on drug trafficking charges. All remain behind bars at this time. Investigators say the cases are separate from the disappearance of HaLeigh, but they will be asking them a lot of questions about that night while they are in jail. Click here for the drug case links and audio/video.
Apparently drugs have been an issue with Ronald Cummings and Misty Cummings prior to HaLeigh’s disappearance, brought to light early in the investigation by private investigator William “Cobra” Staubs. Click here for audio (R-rated language.
News Talk 97.3 The Sky has confirmed the story that HaLeigh’s mother Crystal Sheffield recently failed a drug test . That was a finding at a family status hearing last Monday. Crystal has been ordered to rehab. Her son, HaLeigh’s little brother Ronald Cummings Jr., remains with Crystal’s family in Baker County. He has been there since shortly after Ronald Cummings Sr. was arrested on drug charges.
For the average person, the cast of characters in this case has been a challenge to follow. Click here for the roster.
Perhaps this investigation into HaLeigh’s disappearance is nearing an end. The mostly tight-lipped Putnam County Sheriff’s Office recently allowed pictures of the “HaLeigh Room” where investigators work the case 24/7. Click here for the photos.

God knows where Haleigh is.
Misty knows more than she’s telling and pray God she comes to her senses and tells what she is keeping to herself.
WHERE IS HALEIGH?
Thank you so much, TJ, for this great summary and the info links!
All the praying in the world wont get Misty to say anything if she indeed does not know anything about Halieghs disappearance. It has been a year. LE, according to them, have spent 10000 man hours on the case–and not a break. They state they will solve the case “eventually”. That does not sound promising to me in the least. They, too, may be praying for a break, but if they are looking in the wrong direction, again, all the prayers in the world will not bring haliegh back.
My thorough disgust with Crystal has reached an all time high. I gave her a pass concerning the custody case, gave her a pass when she couldn’t even answer what time her daughter got off the school bus. This latest revelation of her not passing her urine drug test makes me sick. Both Ron and Crystal should be nominated for the worst parents EVER on this planet. What the hell is wrong with these two???!!!
No more support for Crystal from me. I hope she ends up in the pokey w/Ron and Misty. All 3 of them have belonged there for a very, very long time. My heart goes out to LE, what a case to try and work through and what a mess.
I never had any support for Crystal, or any of the clan. THey are all child neglectors. I mearly want the truth. I keep reading that Ron is involved. If he is, how did he pass a polygraph, he has an alibi, he told LE consistent stories. LE, though ruling out no one according to them, is NOT focused in the least on Ron, and getting so focused on him with nothing to substantiate is mearly a side show.
Who were Ron’s enemies prior to Haleigh’s disappearance? If it is found out that Ron had someone so mad at him they would take his daughter, the reason why could be very incriminating against him. Ron needed to keep Misty happy because she could very well know exactly who his enemies are and why. In the beginning Ron acted like there was no sense in searching for Haleigh. He acted like she would never be found. I first thought it was because of all the sexual predators in the area. I am beginning to think he knows exactly who took Haleigh and that because he had wronged someone so badly there was no hope of her safe return. Drugs seem to be at the root of all this evil. It appears to be the tie that binds them all together.
Has le ever once came out and said Ron passed his drug tests? I’m not sure I have read/seen that, but may have missed it.
I believe LE has to treat Ronald differently than the norm. They can’t let him on to their hand, if they clear him, he feels at ease and goes back to his normal behavior such was the case in the drug bust. Ron let his guard down and badaboom badabing, he’s in the slammer.
You’ll not see me defending Crystal again. She has been given chance after chance after chance and she continues to blow it. She put herself first more times then I care to see. It’s no wonder Kim P. threw her hands up. Someone needs to slap some sense into that mother of 3, ugh she makes me sick!
This does not negate the fact that I believe Ronald knows exactly what happened to Haleigh that night, because I firmly believe he and Misty do. LE just needs to crack Misty and then the house of cards will come tumbling down on this entire disgusting cast of losers.
What drug tests? When and why would LE have given R a drug test? Do you mean at PDM, R’s former place of work? I imagine that if he’d not passed a drug test he would not have had a job to go to that night.
And as far as “catching” any of these people on drug charges it’s so easy it’s pathetic. LE did not have to wait a year if that was their “grand plan.” Yes, wait a year and catch M as an adult but R was around all year.
Sorry this “R owed money Mexican Mob (or whoever) drug money” is the theme of a lot of b-movies (and has really happened, I know). But I don’t think it’s the case here.
Atta boy, do you think if Ron had Misty hiding truth for him he would have divorced her or pissed her off so many times?
Ron and Misty are not that high up on the food chain for anyone to suspect MOB activity.
Exactly, bjb – As far as I can see, they are penny ante drug dealers. Bottom of the food chain.
SolveCrimes, its been so vastly documented.. Ron’s worst enemies are and have been for many years. The bio Moms Family.. Go back and read, he ran afoul with marie when he and misty moved to TN’s house, away from JS house, why.. well both kids were on drugs at the time, marie was dealing out of the house, she was living with JJL.. Ron grew pot in JS back yard, then brought home a dog for JS and it turned out to be stolen. He kicked the kids out.. later, when crystal went to court, JS wrote a full page complaint against ron for the judge. Crystal would move back in and leave again and take the kids with her, she would leave them with JS, then ron would go over to his house and take them back.. they lived with marie in baker, and things didn’t go well at all, kids had to leave there. this family misadventure has been going on now for a good 10 years. Love – Hate relationship.. Drugs have been mingled through this whole case.. the only member of crystals family, besides Crystal.. that I have ever heard that actually liked Ron as a person.. Was SS, Crystals sister. You want to look at the world of enemies ron has.. well there it is..
With two small childen in the middle.. to pay the unltimate price..
atta ronnieeboy, I hear ya, good to see you are taking the facts and making decisions based on what we have to work with.
Good posts here. Great thorough article by Jan, with lots of background for new readers picking up on the case which took extra time to include, hugs Jan. Hugs to Simon, TJ and Levi for extra programs this week. Really goes nicely with the one year vigil anniversary for Haleigh.
I call for a drug sting in Baker County, if LE is believin this is the key to the case, and the way to solve it, why stop in Putnam? We have facts to point towards the other side of the family also if we’re going to look at drugs as motive and reasons for LE to use their resources, facilities to house these families, lets get them all in there and squeeze. I just don’t believe this drug direction is anything to what happened to Haleigh.
It’s either stranger abduction, or familial. If it were drug overdose, we would have someone breaking by now who knew and their would be some kind of evidence to corroborate such direction.
If it she was taken out of revenge for something ron did, which I believe is very possible, I would think he stole something…money?…Mybe in the amount of $35,000? Didn’t he tell TM that he could get her back for that “exact” amount?
koollook, good stuff, also didn’t marie “invite” investigators to come search their farm to rule out the possibility haleigh may be buried on the property? I’m sure they wouldn’t want LE to show up unanounced to do a search and stumble onto the “mother load of dope” or…Is it time to bring Haleigh out of hiding?
Too,koollook, as to the last part of your post, about if it were a drug overdose, someone would have told by now…actually they do …naynays letter. No proof…that we know of though.
methinks…TM has made lots of outrageous claims….the phone message didn’t back up what he said. TM has a lot in common with this crew…he is a coke addict and alcoholic….I find it hard to believe anything he says.
Yep, and soooo many months after the disappearance. Why they didn’t search that property and question Chad in the days after the disappearance is beyond me.
They interrogated a 17 year old without a lawyer for 30 hours and came out with nothing. They’ve been lucky that the public is blaming Misty rather than LE for not solving this case. It’s obvious that they’ve been barking up the wrong tree for a year now and I hope it’s not too late for them to solve this case and that LE’s egos will allow them to admit the mistake and move on.
methinks: That story about R and the $35k was all messed up. R was referring to the existing reward. Someone had told him something (not at all dependable or specific) about who had Haleigh and R said something like, “with that and $35K I could get Haleigh back.” Meaning whoever had her or whoever had the info about it would want that money.
We have to remember that that story came from Hank Croslin, Sr who was NOT friendly toward R at the time. So several boxes of salt should go along with that whole story.
TM blew it all out of context and proportion, I’m sorry to say.
crystal does need to get her act together but to continually trash her doesn’t do a thing…all it does is make a extremely sad situation worse…..the answers to haleigh’s disappearance are currently sitting in a jail cell…
now back to crystal she said that ron introduced her to drugs…i happen to believe her…and once drugs come in to the picture especially some of the drugs that the band of fools were dealing in satsuma they are dam hard to get out of your system..how bout supporting crystal in trying to get clean instead of continually trashing her and crystal..and frankly i believe crystal when she says how she lost custody..i was reading that ronalds mother is a police dispatcher…did any of you stop to think that maybe this is why ron has gotten so many breaks from law enforcement…this is my opinion and after reading the comments on here time and time again i figured it was time to state my opinion.
Hi, Dawn!
After a year of “non-stop trashing of R,” with real and false accusations, a month or two of discussion of C’s REALLY and REAL serious issues is appropriate IMO.
Crystal’s own mother was a dope dealer. It was not R who introduced her to drugs.
And lots of bloggers here are wishing C well with her recovery efforts. Maybe C needs a good “blog thrashing” (about the facts) to get motivated. LOL! Gosh knows she hasn’t been motivated by anything else so far.
As far as the tired old story about R getting favored treatment from LE because his mother was a dispatcher – it was debunked LONG AGO!
She was a dispatcher LONG AGO in ANOTHER COUNTY! Hooey!
Open question:
Has LE ever clearly stated what time the last person outside family saw HaLeigh?
IMO, that would answer many questions, in regards to Ron’s alibi.
Dawn, I agree that Neves job in dispatch for a neighboring county may be a reason Ron has charges that were dropped.
We know Neves recently requested a favor from Jeff Hardy, and she received it (bending of jail visitation rules to let her visit her boy more frequently than other mothers get to visit their sons).
Hank Croslin seems to be an honest man. Yes, he has been accused of doctor shopping, but the few hundred pills he received scripts for amount to no more than 3 pills a day, which is reasonable for pain management.

LMAO!!! So, you think Dr. shopping should be legal? Are you a Dr.? Think you are in a better position than the Drs and LE to determine what is reasonable for pain management? LMAO!!

——————————————
LE checked out Ron’s alibi almost a year ago and it is solid.
Dontcha think Hardy is grateful for the excuse to give old R more time to be recorded possibly saying something incriminating – or that would give LE some kinda clue??
Jason, well then what relative of CJ works for LE that he’s not been charged for making threats against M (recorded on her phone) and confessing directly to the 911 dispatcher that he 1) had a gun in his car (2) was going to try to kill or fight R and 3) was going 80 – 90 mph in a 40 mph car? Gosh! Maybe his uncle is a parking meter attendant in another county? Ya think?
I don’t know which, if any, of CJ’s relatives works for LE, and you don’t either?
Do some research and report back on what you find.
But Jason we don’t need actual PROOF, do we?
LOL! Certainly don’t need any proof that LE gave R a break because of his mother’s former job in another county, right? So why proof of this? So, let’s at least be consistent!!
yes, marie did invite (demand) LE come search the property per Kim Picazio in her bar complaint resonpse, interesting eh? I can think of many reasons why.
1. oh yes, now come clear our property
2. LE not even knowing Crystals address, nor asking for it. Unbelievable
3. Yes now I’m ready for you to come do your search and digging, I’ve had ample time to prepare, or so I thought. LOL Finding Chad’s crack pipe, drug paraphenelia in an old truck on the property.
4. Per Kim P. their motive for the LE search was to put to rest the rumors, innuendos of them being involved in the disappearance.
5. Then why the fake search at San Mateo held by the SHeffields, Griffis, Haleighbug Center administrator Jeremiah Regan and his imposter Dad fbi/LE man in control over Gunny the search dog and Gunny’s handler, who posts on the forums and has signed an affadavit stating her dismay and opinion based on the unfolding facts she learned during and after the fake search to accomplish what? Throw LE and the public off? Whats their motives?
Then LE refuses to accept the supposed evidence like car keys, bloodied glove, and other items found at the search sight. Instead of notifying and calling LE to the scene, they meaning John Regan, father of Jeremiah Regan, (Crystal and KIm’s bud and alledged lover) but of course denied by the two women, I must offer this as info. to those reading of their denials. John Regan has all but admitted and was caught through email of impersonating LE and fbi through emails with Cobra, hired gun along with art harris for PR work, find out what the investigators were up too and learning, change the publics mindset through the media. All along from the start going after Ron immediately upon learning Haleigh was missing throwing this investigation into another tail spin, thus totally messing up the search efforts and focus on Haleigh in order to stop child support to benefit Crystal, who was over 12,000 in child support arrears facing a court hearing the day after Haleigh disappeared and to gain custody of Jr. Which was the plan, thwarted by Kim because she wouldn’t file custody parents because of Crystals continued present drug use, and interference by Marie calling all the shots. Not working with her, nor Crystal. All 3 women, and these 3 women not working together in their own realm they themselves built to be a team. It was a fiasco, and we trust them to raise Jr.
A good mother is consistent. All the time. Makes mistakes and errors. She is not perfect. But her love is. For the Lord says, “Perfect love casteth out all fear”. Why is Jr. constantly crying as reported by Marie since Crystal gained custody? That bothers me to the max. Someone doesn’t know what their doing here in this situation with Jr. There’s very appropriate parenting techniques to use raising Jr. to assage and comfort him immediately casting out fears and worries he shouldn’t ever be burdened with. He’s not being told the right things, or he would be prospering with normal questions, all children do daily. Full of questions, but the right loving arms can put it all on a good comfort level and zone when you know what to do and say.
These un-answered phone calls reported today to Jr. oooooh the games people will play. Shameful. Guess it’s time for those in control to do whats been in their hearts seething since these children were born, and in the custody of Ron and his family.
The few in these families that don’t want to get along, has vengeful revenge built into their hearts are ruining it for the healthy structure and foundation of these families.
I don’t even know if Jr. should ever have even been told Ron is in jail at this time. Though since he probably will learn by all the tongues wagging everywhere he’s at, then the media sources, guess it would be totally un-avoidable to not address this issue for him now. If I were Jr.s mom, I would have him in a small private school, the school agreeing to total privacy concerning the family issues, and all tv’s would be thrown out the door. His contact with anyone who couldn’t control their tongues would be cut off from enjoying visiting with Jr.
Adult issues need to be kept far away from him, let him be a little boy. Using adult/adult parental alienation techniques with children causes horrific damage to the mind, soul and spirit of these babies growing up. It should be a crime, yet it’s done all the time with children.
I wish Crystal and family all the very best, they have the best now, Jr. hope they understand the responsibility and task at hand. They have their work cut out for them. It will take people willing to work hard, long hours, to keep a decen loving home going, and continue the search for Haleigh. No time for laziness, hate and slackness. Once Haleigh comes home, then the season of rest and peace shall come. Give Jr. peace now, give him hope and understanding. Give him contact with those he’s always only known. Bless his little heart. Bless both his families with wisdom, mercy and understanding. Bless Haleigh.
LE had NOT stated the last time Haleigh was seen. Marie Griffis herself said neighborhood children saw Haleigh playing outside on her bike the night she went missing. Hank Croslin and his children (it is hard to get children to lie and keep the story straight) were over that day\night till 6:00pm. Then we have GM Sykes who said she came to check on the kids (was mad at Misty)at around 7:00pm and she had someone in her car (not sure who was in the car with Sykes)…An AC repair man was at the home that evening (have not heard from him), and that brings us to Junior who I think would know if his sister went to bed with them that night. Junior has said that he saw a man in black take Haleigh according to his mother…Not sure what he told LE, someone said he saw a woman take Haleigh and Misty was asleep according to Junior.
Kool Look,
You are SO right,couldn’t have been said better!

Where did you hear this info?
no one is gonna read all that wackjob..
the answer is – ron and misty don’t know what happen to haleigh! plain and simple..if the truth comes out they won’t be involved. the end!
I feel for Ron jr. Him and Haleigh are the only truely innocent in all of this. The parents and grandparents of Crystal, Ron and Misty can look at their own dysfunctional families for the answers as to why these people cannot parent. I wish Ron Jr all the luck in the world. He will need plenty of it.

OJ, I agree.
Just listened to another radio show (not as good as Simon & Jan’s of course!) and Tim Miller was on. He sounds soooooooo drunk….it is pathetic. He is rude about GGMS, and of course everyone else on that side of the family. He carried on about how he was going to Haleigh’s funeral etc. He repulses me. He carried on about how Caylee’s body could never be found, then lo and behold, someone found it. I guess because people are talking about his problems, he saw fit to out an elderly grandmother, great grandmother to the victim. Tim has become a vile man. I hope he gets help and makes amends to those he hurt.
OJ’s glove,
I believe you are 100% right. If LE would just see that, just conceive of the fact that Misty knows nothing (they already know Ron knows nothing) and move on, there may be (though slim) hope for finding out what happened to haleigh. After a year of chasing the clan around–both LE and media–I think the true perpetrator got away with murder.
LE will get nothing out this bunch but more drug activities.
Lisa, With all do respect, Satements that begin with: Someone said, is axactly what TJ was so fired up about. If your not sure where you heard it,or whether or not it’s fact then in the event that it isn’t, you’ve just started a possible rumor…people take things for fact, when they’re not. now it’s out there and there’s no way to retract it. Please don’t be offended, I’m not trying to start an argument as I’m sure I’ve done it in the past as well…but I’m learning.

—————————————-
I want to qualify some of what I posted above…I hadn’t listened to the whole show when I posted it. Now that I’ve listened to the whole thing, it’s still obvious that Tim was drunk. He did make it clear that he doesn’t believe Ron had anything to do with it, and he made it clear he felt sorry for Misty and that she never had a chance with the parents she had….I agree with both these points and don’t think he’s nearly as “vile” as when I posted earlier. However, I still think it was very wrong to drag GGMS into it all and put very personal info out there about her.
Teresa was not a dispatcher in another county, she was in records.
hello vaquera, i am not arguing with you about where teresa worked or what she did. it’s just that on the sheriff report it says she was a dispatcher. i assumed tn told him that. was that a mistake on the officers part? i believe it was in other reports. that is why people think she was a dispatcher, myself included???

Yes i know. ty
Solve Crimes:
Everything you said fits. Do you think Tommy knows about who took Haleigh? I believe he is the only one in Misty’s family that hasn’t been saying Misty needs to talk.
Do you think Ron will really go to prison for 21 yrs? I believe Ron was in on the cover up from the beginning. Like you said, he has to keep Misty happy to keep her quiet.
Morning, Karon!
I wonder if M is willing to go to prison for 20+ years in order to stay quiet for R?
I kind of doubt that.
But she won’t talk until someone hammers it into her head that she really could face that kind of jail time (on the drug charges) and NEEDS to talk to get a deal for a lighter sentence. If they offer her a deal and she still doesn’t talk then I’ll have to conclude that she doesn’t know anything.
Hey, m2c, Karon, good morning, I am catching up after the weekend, one of the articles I read said Misty only has a 6th grade education? I thought it was 8th, man, that’s bad. And Crystal failed a recent drug test because of a pill a friend gave her, that makes me even more sad.
It’s time for Haleigh to come home.
Good morning, all!
I have no doubt in my mind that Misty is willing to do time to protect Ron. No doubt at all.
Morning, DramaQueen!
Yes, M dropped out of/during/around 7th grade. I think she was 13 years old then. So I really wonder what she was doing for those years before she met R. (not really. I have a pretty good idea, unfortunately).
It may literally be the truth that C failed a drug test because of a pill a friend gave her BUT she’s been a druggie for many years. Grew up in that “world.” Haleigh and Jr were not in any better environment when visiting their mom than when they were with their dad and Misty. And she was engaged to a crack-pipe smoking “charmer” who has a record. The children were in extremely vulnerable/risky situations no matter which parent they were with (IMO).
I should add that Jr and Chloe still are in a risky situation. I can only hope that DCFS’s generous funding of rehab for that side of the family will succeed.
at mc2
There could be someone Misty is even more afraid of than Ron.
That’s possible, SolveCrimes, but I was responding to someone’s comment about M being willing to go to jail for R. I doubt that.
Also I really have not seen M appear “afraid.” Usually mad, defiant, indignant, etc. along those lines.
I don’t think Misty would go to jail to protect Ron because she’s afraid of him, I think it would be because she loves him. But, when all is said and done, after all the new articles I have read this morning, LE seems satisfied that neither Ron nor Crystal are involved in Haleigh’s disappearance. I will have to concede the fact that they are better at what they do than I am. No more bila noise from Padilla over the weekend? No more recorded phone conversations.
Ron must be glad it’s Monday, he gets clean boxers today.
Drama Queen…LOL Ron hopes to get clean boxers today…while Misty is yearning for snacks, candy bars, honeybuns and socks because the socks she has are stretched out and she said she has to tie them to keep them on. ROFLMAO at that one.
Sorry folks, but I have absoltuely no pity for these people. IMO, they got what they deserved.
I just read a report on the OS about TN talking about Misty taking the ‘wrong turn’
and how ‘very very intelligent’ Ron is…..but
why is that so hard for me to swallow ?
I seems to me that Ron must’ve been riding in that same car with Misty when she took that ‘wrong turn’….both now sitting in jail.
So much for ‘intellegence’!
Ron is now reading the bible….but don’t they all when they sit in jail.
Casey had one also. I wonder if she even cracked the cover!!!
Christine, I read the article in the Orlando Sentinel and TN was talking specifically about M possibly taking a wrong turn during the previous weekend (the 3 day drug binge). R was NOT with her then.
But you are right. I guess M has one up on TN now. At least M didn’t ever claim C was intelligent (even tho that’s what moms tend to do).
Also it’s my understanding that R and fam attended church before this. I don’t think the A’s ever did – even though a church took pity on them and let them have vigils there (for a while).
Typo above. By “M has one up on TN” I meant MG (Marie).
For those of you who think it is impossible for a child to OD on drugs…
http://www.wpbf.com/news/16527725/detail.html
Wow, after listening to the Steph Watts show last night I was finally happry to hear Tim tell it like it is, Ron is trash and comes from trash and so are the Croslins. He also wasn’t shocked that a chld could “vanish” under their watch. Kudos to Tim for calling a spade a spade or in the case, hillbilly trash!
What a shame she and jr were left with these 2 losers and TN and GGMS dod nothing about it. They knew what was going on as GGMS admitted Ron was violent and had anger issues and they knew they were both drug heads, and still left JR and HaLeigh in their toxic trailer.
Thank God Jr is with a loving and supportive family, with other children playin happily on the farm like a child should be, carefree and happy. I pray for Crystal to gather the strength to move forward and stay clean, although if HaLeigh had been mine, I’m sure a lortab would have just been the tip of the iceberg for what I’d have to take to keep from loosing my mind.
The Cummings are worse than the Anthony’s-100% hillbilly trash
I totally agree JUSTONE.

well be prepared for the onslaught of chit you’ll get directed at you now from the Crystal haters and Cummings can do know wrong types…
Thanks though
I haven’t met anyone that thinks the Cummings can do no wrong. I do not hate Crystal and hope she gets herself together. I just like to keep our opinions here based on fact.

Show me some facts to back this crap up!!!
No I don’t think this blog is flooded with Crystal haters, I think it’s Ron bashers and many don’t mind to lie to do so.
m2c….Yes, I was just making some fun here….because even though they weren’t together …… both are now in a cell… so where did Ron make his ‘wrong turn’…
All put together, these 5 haven’t got what would amount to 1/4 of a brain cell.
Empty heads all…..
Hi, Christine! If the five are R, M, T, DB (possibly Hope? Also caught in the “sting”?) then let’s make it six and add C. On that I fully agree.
JUSTONE – And what would you call the bio-mom’s side please? Anything different? For any reason?
Fair is fair. (Or not)
m2c…..In total agreement. The number IS 6.
And JUSTONE: I truly hope those children don’t step on any crack-pipes while they’re “happily playing on a farm like children should.” What a load of carp.
I’m really offended that you seem to think anyone on this blog is so stupid as to fall for that Carp.
If you REALLY gave a rat’s behind about the children you’d be very concerned about them right now right where they are!

What a shame she and jr were left with these 2 losers and TN and GGMS dod nothing about it. They knew what was going on as GGMS admitted Ron was violent and had anger issues and they knew they were both drug heads, and still left JR and HaLeigh in their toxic trailer.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Show me some facts to back this crap up!!!
No I don’t think this blog is flooded with Crystal haters, I think it’s Ron bashers and many don’t mind to lie to do so.
—————————————–
Read the article where it quotes GGMS talking about Ron and his anger issues,trashy mouth and he had threatened to kill someone at 17yrs old, and GGMS mentioned she was mad at Ron for letting MC watch the kids that night. Do you won homework and read the articles!

Troubled past, struggling now, but compared to the Cummings/Croslins they look like a far better choice for Jr to grow up and not turn into a carbon copy of his angry thug drug dealing POS that threatens people.
Bio’s mom seems to own their failures, where Ron’s enables and makes excuses.
justone, I have read the articles and that crap wasn’t in them, just bs you are spewing. You call me a Crystal hater, do you see me spewing that crap about her???? NO you don’t!!!
Justone, it is a waste of time to talk to you. You are not seeking any truth you are either not playing with a full deck or just wanting to fight, so I am finished. I have too much to do today to waste my time with this nonsense.

Good by then:)
I think you’ve gone off the deep end already, so run along now and skip over my post if you need a valium after reading because I stand by my post that Ron is 100% hillbilly trash and will never better himself.
JUSTONE- Bio-mom’s side spent the better part of a year HIDING their drug and other issues, C was engaged to a crack-pipe smoking criminal, and it’s just NOW when DCFS caught C in yet another lie about her drug use that it has all come out. So no, that side is only now FORCED to own up to the truth. And all that while they spewed all the blame and all the accusations (many false) at R. Please try to get off that train while you still can (but probably don’t even want to).
JUSTONE – And as I asked before what exactly is preventing C’s side from being called “hillbilly trash” with little chance of improving themselves????????????
Has C held a job in her LIFE????? She didn’t even succeed at the job of “stay at home part time (weekend) mother!”
All I’m asking is that the truth about both sides be recognized.
This may have been read by many here, but:

I thought it was interesting point of view of the cummings-croslin family dynamics.
I think that something terrible happened to Haleigh – perhaps she unintentionally od and ”family” is covering. But, only the one(s) responsible really know.

First WHERE is the proof that crack pipe was Chad’s or Crystals..there isn’t any and if we are going by how many times someone was caught, well he77′s bells Ron must have one he77 of a record (that he was never caught .wink.) If DCS had done a better job of drug testing Ron, Haleigh might still be alive today. To bad they failed miserably.
So C didn’t get caught because she’s a lucky girl who gets other people to buy her drugs! That makes her any “better?”
There is no reason to think R was taking drugs especially when getting and holding a job at PDM even for a while.
IF Haleigh had even ONE better parent the children would have stood a better chance.
And if you think DCFS failed before (and I am not at all sure they did) then you better be really worried about what they’ve chosen to do this time. LEAVE them in that environment with a mother who could barely get out of bed to bother with them BEFORE Haleigh went missing.

Another side show has been added to the circus. Noticed NG was not all over Padilla when he said he will bail her out. Of course not, she wants him on her show after he posts bail.
Padilla: If you are reading this, this is yet another distraction (and your 15 min of fame) in the search for Haliegh.

The Sheffields is the side that has a motive in this case. Do your home work.
I think we can all agree that neither Ron nor Crystal will win the parent of the year contest.
For those screaming to have Ron jr removed from the home, good luck there. FAmily services is overwhelmed with children in immediate danger. Funding is drastically cut with the recession. And the family courts are just not equipt to deal with every family with a drug issue. Having a parent with a drug problem, unfortunately, does not qualify as immediate danger. Having a parent with a missing child also does not qualify. It is a real shame, and I hope when all is said and done, someone will write about this issue of drugs and families, in a way that will move society to do something about it.
Annintn,
CAn you provide the information that makes you think it is Crystals side of the family?
I believe justone is referring to the Dana Treen article that does contain the info they mentioned.
I for one do not condone Crystals habit, nor do I condone Rons. They are equals with the exception that Crystal has not yet been jailed for trafficking. They both are irresponsible and neglectful.
I just pray that with the right support Crystal can overcome this addiction.
I personally do not know how name calling is going to find Haleigh.

In a July 1 email to Marie and Crystal which is a To Do list, she includes these two interesting points:
Be sure to look at Art Harris’ latest story -I had him clear up the “crack” issue, and he posted pictures of Crystal and the kids to combat the “doctored” photo issue. The comments after his story seem very positive.
Everyone should be instructed not to answer any questions about the crack pipe issue, or who the truck is owned by. No comment is the word on this. Marie: you need to be very careful of what Diane knows about this issue. If she reports that the truck was Chad’s, and that they were his old pipes, that would be extremely bad. DCF would most likely get involved, and Chad could get arrested. Every “Ron” fan on the internet would call the authorities and demand action against Chad and Crystal.

I want reveal my source at all.And yes he did past the polly. I take this case very serious and I would not post no un-truths.
Buddy,
Show me proof that He didnt past it???
I also agree. We know where Jr. is but everyone has forgotten that Haleigh is still gone and in more urgent need of help.
Also if LE had any evidence that showed the Sheffields being involved I am sure they would investigate it. I believe they know some of the people in jail know things that could help find out where Haleigh is.jmo
AnneInTN, If he did “PAST” it, could you please post a reliable source? Why is that so hard to “reveal”?

Ron was givin polly at the beginning of this case like Misty was. He passed.NO I want give a source. Dont even ask me that.
Buddy, it was after LE gave R the LDT that they announced that he and C were not “suspects” LE did not “clear” them completely. Anyway, I think it’s that announcement by LE that gave people the idea that R passed his LDT.
Also you said that Haleigh would not have been taken if she’d been properly watched. How can you say that after all the kidnappings of children from fine, upstanding and loving homes where the parents who were there at the time? I know M either left or was sleeping really deeply or was involved perhaps but still there is no justification for what you said. Unless the only sufficient answer is to shackle your children to your bed or ankles before going to sleep?
tobias said,in February 8th, 2010 at 12:47 pm I also agree. We know where Jr. is but everyone has forgotten that Haleigh is still gone and in more urgent need of help.

—————-
How do yoou know that Sheffields are not being investigated?
There also would appear to be a reason that Ron and Misty are seperated. LE does not want the two conversing or interfering with each other. I would also like to see the tapes for the visit with Ron and Teresa. Where are they?
All we have is the tape of Ron in his interview with Dana and phone call to GGM Sykes. jmo
Hi, looking! I’m confused about what info we’re talking about that was in a Dana Treen article. We’ve discussed a couple of things today so I’m confused. Could you tell me please?
AnneInTn said,in February 8th, 2010 at 12:46 pm Buddy,
Show me proof that He didnt past it???
————————
I am not claiming one way or the other, on the other hand, YOU are claiming he did indeed “PAST” the test. I would like a reliable source for this info you are claiming..
From many articles I have found, I have only seen where Ron states he passed, If I’m missing where authorities claimed he passed, I would like to see it. TYIA
The 17-year-old girlfriend of a missing Florida girl’s father has taken a lie detector test, a local sheriff said.
He wouldn’t reveal the results of the test, but the father, Ronald Cummings, and his girlfriend, Misty Croslin, said Thursday night during an interview with FOX News’ Greta Van Susteren that they both submitted to polygraphs and both “passed.”
During Ronald Cummings interview on September 7, 2009 with Nancy Grace, the father of missing 6 year old, Haleigh Cummings, answered questions regarding the lie detector tests that both he and Misty Croslin-Cummings took. Nancy asked if both he and Misty took a polygraph test, he said they had. He told Nancy that he passed his with flying colors and that Misty passed hers as well.
Cummings said he believes he and Croslin passed the tests.At a news conference Thursday, Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy confirmed that Croslin had taken a polygraph test, but he wouldn’t discuss the results.
Greta, investigators told us so far two people have taken the lie-detector test, and that is the girl’s father, Ronald Cummings, and his girlfriend, Misty Croslin. As to the results of the test, they would not let us know, Greta.
Ronald Cummings has taken a polygraph test and passed it, according to the Nancy Grace show.
Ron Cummings indicates both he and Misty have “passed” lie detector tests concerning their knowledge of Haleigh’s disappearance, (so far unconfirmed by investigators),
Tobias, “Keeping them separated??” Oh, yeah. I’ve heard a lot about co-ed cells in jails! LOL!
They may very well be and until something is released to us we can not know for sure one way or the other. True? jmo
Annintn,
Just asking a question, not meant to insult you.
Do you personally know someone connected with the case? If you do, your insight is invaluable. If you dont, I question any information you have.
M2C, lol you know very well what I meant. LE has put them in seperate jails to keep them from having any chance of info being passed from one to the other. jmo
“…but everyone has forgotten that Haleigh is still gone and in more urgent need of help.”
—
I love it! Didn’t hear that much when people were/are busy bashing R from here to gone. But now that some attention is on C’s warts, it’s back to poor Haleigh.
Come on! Some of us have been trying to get the focus back on her for a while and couldn’t be heard over the R-bashers. Please don’t insult us with that nonsense. It’s just like what TJ said on the radio show. What people do is try to distract you by saying, “Look over here!” instead of – for example – looking at C and her side of the family. I hope no one on here is gullible enough to fall for that.
Buddy, go back to an early press conference and you’ll see what LE said then following the LDTs.
You mean like when Misty went on Good Morning America and said the other side of the family?
m2c I was talking about when GGSykes says a man complained that Ron told him he would kill him at the age of 17 and that GGSykes was angry about Ron letting Misty come back. I did not want anyone to think it was not written and the person quoting what was stated to think they were making up lies.
We on this blog know where each blogger stands. Minds have been made up, positions taken and defended. But none of us really know what happened that night, because if we did, haleigh would be found.
For all who have taken a firm position—-sit back, relax, and see what happens in the investigation.
Any time someone writes about facts in the case about Ron it is not bashing. It is what it is and some people just need to get on with it or not reply. jmo
Thank you Looking!
I read the same article that Justone is speaking about and assumed everyone else interested in this case did.
http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2010-02-07/story/a_year_since_haleigh_cummings_vanished_ronald_and_misty_lost_their_way_l
Dana: Have they asked you about Haleigh yet…What happened?
RC: …They just told me that their main focus is not on putting me in jail, its about finding Haleigh.
Why would the police say that to Ron, if Ron passed the LDT and was in the clear?
Here are some facts in the case:
1. LE are not looking at Ron as a suspect—they have SAID so.
2. Ron passed a lie detector—NOBODY has questioned this in the press.
3. Ron has a solid alibi—-EVERYONE in the press acknowledges that.
4. Ron has given consistent stories—-EVERYONE in the press acknowledges that.
If you disagree, you must have information that the rest of us and the press are not privy to.
I believe that is just Rons interpetation of events and there is no proof that anyone in LE said this. They were arresting him for trafficking reguardless of the Haleigh investigation and in Rons mind he was busted only becuase of it. jmo
LE have SAID Ron is not a suspect.
LE has SAID Misty holds the key—since Ron was WITH Misty on the drug buys, YES, Ron believes that LE focused on the drug buys to get to Misty. HE just happened to be there. THAT was his point.
Some are bashing R because they think he is the “key” to Haleigh. Which has everything to do with Haleigh, and nothing to do with whether or not they care if they hurt R’s wittle feelings or yours for that matter. If you want to help Haleigh out so much then open your eyes. Sure…let’s blame the family that was nowhere near the crime scene. I’m so and so and I don’t have the where with all to think with an opened mind, and so I just insist that because CA killed her child that all mom’s will always be the guilty party when it comes to cases like this (repeat that sentence out loud in a dumb and sarcastic tone to understand the full capacity of what I’m writing). If only it were that simple!!! Please google “fathers that get their children killed” and you will see that the mother or the female in charge is not always at fault.
BJB, I do know what happened to Haleigh. I am suspicious about Ron as I have stated before and ialso stated that I hope it is only suspicion not fact. I was looking back and found an article written here at BNN by TJ Hart. One I must have missed before. It was written 09/09 Haleigh Cummings update. I know prior to that article and many others that Rons work hours were listed to be 4:00pm til 12:00am, but he volunteered to work until 3:00 am. Please go back and read and let me know what you think about it.
If we are going to argue over issues that were resolved in the beginning of the investigation, I see no point of this blog—except to stir up rumor and speculation.
ANyone who thinks a failed polygraph by the father is NOT going to make major headline news??? ALL news sources report Ron PASSED.
Do the articles say that LE says he passed or is it reported that Ron said he passed? Just letting you know that if it says LE stated it then it is true otherwise it may not be. The press can twist things sometimes but they will not risk a law suit by saying LE said it if it werent true. Look back at your info and you will see what I mean. jmo
Ron may have passed his polygraph but it is only because he was not asked the right questions: for example, “Do you deal drugs? Do you have any affiliations with known pimps? Do you, RC, have an attraction towards younger females?” I think we all know the answer to the last question. Care to disagree?
I do know for a fact that on the LE pressers they have said everyone is a suspect, so in my opinion that would include Ron and everyone who knew Haleigh. jmo
The press was all on top of it when MISTY FAILED FAILED FAILED. That was reported extensively, by everyone.
I have no vested interest in who was responsible. I dont know Haliegh or her family, except through the media. I do, however, take data at face value, and go in the direction that makes the most sense.
Of course LE press says everyone is a suspect. They ALWAYS say that in ANY unsolved case. LE, however, does not have the man power to give all people involved equal investigation. They take their most likely suspects, and work on them—–Ron is NOT a likely suspect.
BJB, i also have no relation to anyone of them.
And sometimes you only have the media, but you cant always put all faith in what is written.
Sometimes you must follow your instincts too.
I do not feel Ron did this himself but my insticts tell me he knows what led to it and Misty knows more than she is saying. jmo
bjb I meant to write I do not know what happened to Haleigh. Sorry about that. I was interested in the article, because all of us here never posted there so I figured perhaps we all missed it.
Dont you feel that it is odd that when they showed the Haleigh room the only box of interviews they showed were from Misty?
Where were the other boxes from Ron and Crystals interviews? It just seemed odd to me .
bonanzajellybean said,in February 8th, 2010 at 1:22 pm ANyone who thinks a failed polygraph by the father is NOT going to make major headline news??? ALL news sources report Ron PASSED.
——————————
The same would go for Crystal, it works both ways…
Also,In a news release marking the child’s sixth birthday Monday, investigators said the child’s biological parents, Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield, were not suspects.
So, I guess you all can drop the Crystal hype too..
they aren’t overlooking anyone, including family members, as suspects.
Ronald Cummings lawyer said, he was not cleared, but he was at the bottom of the suspect list.
Nettles said Tuesday he didn’t have information on whether or not Haleigh Cummings’ father, Ronald Cummings, and girlfriend are suspects in her disappearance.
LE also refused to say Ronald or Misty passed a LDT, so what real “face value” ARE YOU GOING ON, Bonanza? TM is the one who reported Misty failed hers, NOT LE, and as far as I know, TM did not give one to Crystal or Ron..
bonanzajellybean said,in February 8th, 2010 at 1:13 pm Here are some facts in the case:

Funny that his own atty said on NG that he was a suspect, however he had been moved to the bottom of the list from the top. Thos d@mn atty’s get in the way don’t they. LOL
Buddy your post@ 1:51pm is accurate. Putnam has not released info on anyones LDTs. Tim Miller only gave Misty the test upon her request.

m2c I found where it says Ronald tried to reach Misty 20 times but was unsuccessful. Look above in this article and click on the timeline.
What I found odd in the Dana Treen article is that it stated Ron repeatedly called Tommy and stated he was angry and wanted to know where Misty was. We have not heard about this many calls to Tommy from Ron before. Only the ones to Misty.
There is no motive here. Just stupidity and child neglect. Anyone here see the NG video claiming that MC would agree to offering up info on Haleigh if Padilla can get her out on bond? Interesting. Would she be giving up info on herself or someone else?

You are quite Welcome.
My daughter just asked a good question. If you were just now entering into this case and knew nothing except what you just learned recently would you feel the same about the case? Another words cut it down to the bare bones. You have a 17 yr. old who is drug addicted and recently was arrested for dealing. You have a father who is dealing drugs. You have a mother who failed a drug test. You have a brother who has robbed, is drug addicted and dealing. You have to see this more than likely involves drugs and more than likely Haleigh is gone because of the drugs. I feel one of these people either owed someone drugs or drug money.
I also believe that it could be that she was taken and sold for what was owed. There are alot of people who buy kids that cant legally adopt.Drug dealers dont keep kids they just want what they are owed and this is a way to get it.Also FBI is looking world wide for Haleigh. jmo

misty was the last one KNOWN to have seen HaLeigh alive.
Maybe misty did away with precious HaLeigh, maybe a sex offender, I don’t know.
Nobody KNOWS yet.
As a RESEARCHER myself I would NEVER be ignorant enough to keep putting out to the media, blogs ect…
“the last one to see so & so” because until the case/s are solved NO ONE KNOWS WHO WAS LAST TO SEE HALEIGH!
If there was PROOF misty was the last one to see HaLeigh this case might get solved.
Maybe misty was the last one to see HaLeigh but you can’t back that statement up, no one can yet. Maybe it was her druggie brothers or dad.
misty was the one KNOWN to have seen HaLeigh!
Again, misty was the last one KNOWN to have seen HaLeigh.

——I don’t want what I am about to say to be taken as a defense for ron and misty..cuz’ I don’t know what happened..however, I did want to coment on the last line of your comment where you state that bios mom owns their failures, the only failure I saw her own was crystals drug test failure. what choise did she have? lie? how long would it take for that to be out? Also, it was not her responsibility to own that failure anyway…it would be crystals. Unless I missed something, crystal didn’t admit anything…it was her mother that, when asked, admitted that she flunked. As far as I’m concerned, until crystal steps up and says ” I made a mistake, I am trying, but it’s difficult. I want the best for my children, and all I can do is pick myself up and brush myself off and start over. I love my children”. I believe this incident would have never gotten another thought, ( by me anyway) if she wouldn’t have let mommy do it for her. Her mother has her own failures to admit to…if she is to recover. The enabling is happening on both sides.
bonanzajellybean said,in February 8th, 2010 at 3:00 pm Good gosh folks—why do you think Ron is at the bottom of the suspects list??????? Because he PASSED a lie detector. If he failed, does ANYONE here believe he would be at the BOTTOM???????? Lets use some god given sense
———————————————-
Actually IF he passed the test he wouldn’t be on the list anywhere. Use the brains God gave you. How long was it that he was on the top? I’m guessing there are about 3 people on it, Ron, Misty and Tommy. Being anywhere on that list isn’t a good thing
bonanzajellybean – I heard him say Misty would not be bailed out until she gave up the 411. Not in those exact words, but same thing. In other words, try to get out of the CA cloud and join this topic. This is not the CA case all over again. This is another child. We know who the father is. The mother lives in a completely different city. Not one of this child’s parentals/guardians was NOT doing drugs. I can’t find one article anywhere that supports RC passing a poly. RC said his name was at the bottom of the suspect list, not police. The article above only says he was at work. RC has not been cleared of any wrong doing.
I’m not saying he did. I’m just saying don’t say he didn’t when you don’t know. Keep your mind opened. Haleigh needs you and all of us praying for someone to start talking. Not for any of us. So that a little girl can be found, or laid to rest respectfully. I’m hoping for alive.
Did LE say that this was not a stranger abduction?
KeepitReal, yes LE said it was not a stranger abduction. They also said they do not feel that Ron or Crystal are a suspect in this case.

******************************************
Thanks, Treece.
It’s hard to keep all the facts straight after nearly a year.
You are welcome. Yes, it’s hard to keep any facts straight after a year especially with all the twists that have been told.
According to the Putman, Florida County Sheriff’s Office, they have investigated over 1,400 tips and reported sightings. None of them have revealed what happened to Haleigh; however, the investigation is still active and the task force has yet to be scaled back.
Authorities will not comment on whether they are focusing their investigation on Ronald and Misty or other family members, and will say only that they have yet to rule “anyone” out.
Hence, the investigation continues…
TJ can you clarify if Ron passed a poly test? That is my one hang up with him. I think he is a snake but if he passed the poly tests I would have to turn my suspicion elsewhere. What questions were asked when he took the poly?
tobias said,in February 8th, 2010 at 12:53 pm There also would appear to be a reason that Ron and Misty are seperated. LE does not want the two conversing or interfering with each other.
———————————————-
Last time I checked Misty was a female and Ron a male. Are you saying they have co-ed jails in Fla and they’d be together except for LE wanting to keep them apart? LOL
It was said early on that they are seperated so they can not converse with each other .
Why does this seem to draw out funny answers?
Why would they not want one to know what the other is saying or doing? jmo

Read 2,910 times.
SNIP;
I have heard numerous times that Ronald Cummings is not viewed as a primary suspect in the case by Law Enforcement, but he has also not been completely ruled out, no-one has.
—————————
“We have not identified anyone as suspect but we’ve not ruled anyone out,” says Greenwood.
LE has said nobody has been ruled out, everybody is a suspect.
And why are Rons phone calls and visits important to LE if he is off the list of suspects? I am leaving now everyone have a grreat day and pray for Haleigh. jmo
It was obvious (at least in my opinion), early on that Ron probably wouldn’t come out of this smelling like a rose. But I was listening to Tim Miller on the replay of Steph Watts’ show from yesterday and it did occur to me that maybe he is right in believing that business about Ron thinking he would keep his friends close and enemies closer. One possibility is, if Ron knew all along that there was something he might eventually go to jail for, (perhaps because of attention drawn to him with this situation??), some of this might make sense. In some sort of strange, convoluted, Ron-logic way it might make absolute sense that he could actually go get himself arrested along with Misty. But then, maybe it isn’t so convoluted. I can see a couple of implications of following that line, but I’ll leave it to others to follow through and see if it *really* works.
Now, Mr. Miller might be wrong about believing Ron’s remark about keeping your enemies closer, meaning maybe it was merely bluff and bluster, but as he has so much experience in these situations, I feel he should be listened to. He was there, and I am sure he had his gut reaction. One main point however: Since Mr. Miller could, of course, be right on the money, (believing that what Ron was saying about keeping his enemies closer), trashing him might turn out to be counterproductive, especially to those who want to defend R at all costs.
You can’t have it all ways. Such as you can’t believe that Crystal is viciously uncaring about her children (as some have posited), but that she would still be willing to take such an enormous risk as to be involved in an abduction plot. As another example, either Ron is all bluff and bluster, or he isn’t.
With all these people making all these statements at various points in time, you have to try to work first from the angle that they really did believe what they said or felt at that particular point in time. If that doesn’t work, then you try it the other way.
Sooner or later, things will start to add up one way or the other. I for one would like to see some redemption for someone in all of this.
Maybe wishful thinking? My head tells me it probably is, but there is always hope.
All just my opinion, of course.
tobias said,in February 8th, 2010 at 2:38 pm My daughter just asked a good question. If you were just now entering into this case and knew nothing except what you just learned recently would you feel the same about the case? Another words cut it down to the bare bones. You have a 17 yr. old who is drug addicted and recently was arrested for dealing. You have a father who is dealing drugs. You have a mother who failed a drug test. You have a brother who has robbed, is drug addicted and dealing. You have to see this more than likely involves drugs and more than likely Haleigh is gone because of the drugs. I feel one of these people either owed someone drugs or drug money.
I also believe that it could be that she was taken and sold for what was owed. There are alot of people who buy kids that cant legally adopt.Drug dealers dont keep kids they just want what they are owed and this is a way to get it.Also FBI is looking world wide for Haleigh. jmo
———————————————
If you are only looking at the drug side of things, then the Sheffields and Griffis would have to be your #1 suspects…..crack is whack and they wouldnt be the first crackheads to sell a child.
I just read in an article, that MC ran away at the age of 15 with a boyfriend. Has this boyfriend been mentioned before? His name was not listed in the article.
bonanzajellybean said,in February 8th, 2010 at 3:05 pm Keepitreal,

Perhaps you should use the brains God gave you and do some research into lie detector tests.
LE & the FBI have had a year to investigate those 3 and have come up with nada. Use your brains to figure out what that might mean.

If that were the case it require someone with a REALLY clear head to hold all these “crackheads” as you call them, together. And why go after a kids 100 miles away when there were several right there? Give me a break! (I think there’s a 2 for 1 on tin foil at the Publix.)
Am I the only one here thinking that Marie & Crystal have gathered a new Ron bashing team to hit the blogs….I hope they are outed just like the last ones that tried to divert attention away from Haleigh being found.

Girlfriends and boyfriends dont share jail cells! I do not know who you said separated them so they could not converse, but that person does not know even the basics about jails.

One possibility. Another is that Haleigh was very vulnerable to SOs and other types of abductors. That would “involve drugs” only indirectly. If that’s what happened, then looking in the drug world is not the right place.

You better rush out to the 2 for 1 sale then. Perhaps some tin foil might help you.
Did you hear about the warrant for Crystal re the unpaid child support…I think most people would drive 100 miles if they thought it would get them out of a $12 000 debt and keep them out of jail. That side of the family has the strongest motive, by far. Put on your tin foil cap and perhaps you will see it. Hurry, or you might miss that sale.

WEll, Teresa (HMH) has a nice group lined up here and on twitter doing her trashing, let’s see IAMTHUNDERBUNNY, MCGREGGORS OR MLEE, SEARCHING OR SEARCHINGONE and many more. Just look under Haleighsmyheart and they are all there bashing Crystal and tossing around ludicrous conspiracy theories. Tin foil hat wannabe’s just like JL.

—————————————
Exactly. The area is infested with SOs….Sapp lived close by, Chad Reynolds is still missing etc etc. She lived in a sparsely populated area, and it would not have been a secret that Ron worked nights.
Do we know if Samuel Griffis is related to Chad…he is an RSO and lives in Glen St Mary. I think there are only 800 people that live there, so I think there is a good chance he is related.
The RSO Hilda Griffis also concerns me and she was spoken to not long after Haleigh went missing, so I am guessing she might be related (also lived in same places as Chad).
Then there is RSO John Griffis, and RSO Roger Griffis (both at Lake Butler, Fla) and Darryl Griffis (RSO) at Middleburg Fla.
JUSTONE – Sounds like you’d be more at home at Haleighsmyheart or one of the other trash/bash forums. This is not the forum for you (I hope).
A lot of us here are simply acknowledging what we can determine to be the facts no matter which side of the family or anyone else it concerns.
I should have added the links to the RSOs mentioned above…here it is…
http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us/offender/offenderSearchNav.do
me @ 5:14 – And then there are the thousands of RSOs from all over the country who LE has lost track of. They’re “in the wind.” Who knows who was passing thru? Maybe one of them knows an RSO in Haleigh’s area and got the info from him. That way the local RSO “looks clear.”
Aaaaaaaanyway, does anyone know what the name of Misty’s ex-boyfriend is? The one she ran away with when she was 15. Could have been a jealous guy. If she ran away with him, then he was from that area possibly.
To me: MC and RC are in separate prisons altogether.
Ocala . com “Cummings and Misty Croslin were placed in separate jails to avoid the possibility of communication between them.” Tell them they do not know the basics about jail.
a;ethea @ 4:48 – I think Marie Griffis has the kind of “clear head” and character to do this. I do not think she would even tell C – certainly not in advance. There are a number of people on that side who are perfectly capable of carrying this out. It is a viable theory right along with the rest of them (IMO).

Re communications between them…they talk to their lawyers, and their lawyers can talk to each other.

FTLOG, I wouldn’t be caught dead having anything to do with HMH on twitter, that IS Teresa Neves, and as far as I’m concrened she couldn’t find the time to even raise her own kids nor watch her precious grandbabies Feb 9th of last year, why in the he77 would I want anything to do with somone who cared so little for them that she left them with Misty?
Well then you are under the theory that the Sheffields have her hid. Should be interesting when she appears? Or do you all think they would never have her re appear? jmo
shockwave at 4:41 pm – Wow and gosh. I bet you’ve uncovered something LE hasn’t even thought of yet! You should call Crimestoppers right now! LOL!
Actually, if M was 15 she was a minor and it’s none of our business in any way -including legally.
Middleburg, Lake Butler, and Lake City are all very close to Lake St Mary so I would not be at all surprised if they were related to Chad. All the RSOs mentioned above are child predators. The one that lives in Lake St Mary may be Chads brother….looks a bit like him and the right age. He preys on children too.
M2C, she was a minor when Haleigh dis appeared also.
Okay, everyone. No use in trying to figure out if R passed his poly or not. Because even if he DID, then “it is only because he was not asked the right questions.” LOL! (Gag)

I totally agree. She was selling t-shirts and turned Haleigh into a business in record time. I highly doubt anyone has set up a foundation in memory of a missing child faster than the Sheffields and Griffis did. Even the As waited a few months. Haleighbug was asking for money to support Crystal (not search for Haleigh) within days (I think it was formed within a month). Sounds to me like someone may have done some research into making money off of lost little girls before Haleigh went missing.

Guess no one can ask about Mistys past because she was a minor. So I guess we cant ask about her involvement now either? Someone needs to think of better ways to devert someones questions. jmo
What the hell is going on here? I can’t believe I’m reading all this bashing. It’s one thing to heap trash at the key players,(still wrong, but I could understand), But to try to belittle each other is just insane and uncalled for. These Jabs/Stabs have gotten out of control.
cent – It seems to me that all of a sudden a lot of “newcomers” have come in here who all agree with each other (Re: Hate Ron and Misty plus “poor Crystal” etc). It looks very much like an orchestrated “attack.” It’s happened on other blogs before and it’s ruined them.
It’s resulted in a lot of really bad things happening to good people and not enough bad things happening to the bad people.
Jan and Simon do not allow us to bicker here but the attacks are relentless. And I’ll guarantee you that they don’t care if this blog gets shut down. In fact that could be one of their motives.
We can try not to “bicker” per se or call people names (also not allowed here) but we can’t just let them run off at the mouth so to speak or they’ll take over the blog (which is another possible motivation.)
tobias – LE has made M’s “involvement” in Haleigh’s disappearance public. However I do not believe that opens the gates to everything else – especially things that may have happened two to five years before.

I agree with you m2c. I get tired of peeps saying that i am funny. Hell theres nothing at all funny about this case at all. They are just trying to get some of us pissed and thats not gona happen ..I like your posts m2c.
Yes, Ron and Misty were separated to keep from contacting one another. It is very easy to do when you’re housed in the same facility.
JUSTONE – THen may I recommend Everything News (I think that’s the name) It’s a private cave now but I’m sure they’d love to have you join -unless you are already a member there perhaps?
Tobias: R and M were arrested on drug charges. Perhaps it is remotely possible that LE does not want them to talk with each other about that?
Everybody been too the new article, Ron’s tapes.

He was arrested on drug charges for pete’s sake. Of course LE is going to listen in case he or whoever he’s speaking to says anything about that. But don’t worry. I’m pretty sure LE would not ignore anything he said about Haleigh.
m2c…I doubt that female and male inmates are allowed to talk to each other at any jail!
Plus, Misty & Ron had a year to talk about Haleigh, so it would be a bit late to separate them now if that was the motive.
And, I think it is safe to assume that if LE had anything on Misty, they would have tapped their phones, house, cars etc. LE still has zilch. An

Does anyone know the first name of Marie,s current husband
Sorry for the double posts…i do not know what is causing them.
me @ 6:04 – Exactly. And if LE did NOT tap the phones etc that tells me that they did not have sufficient probably cause to get a warrant to do so. And if that’s the case, then why the heyall are they sticking to the “Misty holds the key” tired old theme???
me, I think his name is Bruce
treece…thank you.
He’s sure managed to keep a low profile! I have never heard him plea for Haleigh’s return, don’t recall seeing him at any of the vigils etc. I’m trying to figure out if they are related to the Griffis RSO in Glen St Mary or the other local RSOs named Griffis.
There are ways of passing info on to whom ever, in jail. Kites are the most common way. Having a trustee or any other influential inmate in your corner is a plus. In some ways, it is just like in the movies.
Bruce lived in the same small town as the child sex offender Hilda Griffis who was spoken to after Haleigh went missing. I have never seen so many RSOs with the same surname in such a small area as I do with the Griffis!
Hilda Griffis’ victim was under 12 years old! What a sick woman. Chad also lived in the same town as her. Is she possibly Chad’s mother/Bruce’s ex? She is 44 years old.
cent….my job takes me to jails on a regular basis….I’ve been inside at least 10 different ones over many years (though not anywhere near Fla). Inmates in the same jail can correspond through other inmates, however, the male and female inmates are kept separate. Which means males can communicate with males and females with females. The easiest way to communicate is through visitors, friends and lawyers. I’ve never seen or heard of anyone getting away with flying a kite with a message between jails…there are much easier ways to do it.
I worked in a county jail for over six years, in fact with high profile inmates. Yes, it can and is done, Clinic Appts, faking an Illness to go to the Infirmary is used often. I’ve seen them do it. Yes, they are not suppose to but they do. Inmates are very cunning when necessary.
Justone and Shockwave,
Why dont you BOTH stay on topic and quit trying to divert the attention to Ron as a suspect, when you have NOTHING. If you two read CNN
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/01/21/florida.haleigh.dad.arrested/
IT CLEARLY says
“Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh’s mother, are not considered suspects, police said.” NOT as in not considered suspects. What more do you need??????
Me, I’m sorry I got carried away and for the tin foil remark. Yes, there is the problem of the back child support. But there is something very important here that relates to that and this whole idea of whether or not there was a planned abduction, and who planned it, which I am trying to figure out how to say and it may take me a couple of days.
I will say that Misty would make a perfect patsy. If that girl was set up, God help that she would ever figure out to tell everything, regardless of the cost to herself, because the situation might not even be what she thought it was. It would be her only hope, to do that. And then there is the babysitting issue….
Of course there is the possibility that something happened to the child in a fit of rage, or there was an accident, and all this stuff is about a coverup. But it doesn’t look that way. You would think someone would have admitted it by now. So it looks worse. (In my opinion.)
I wonder if Ron has a picture of Haleigh in his cell? But then, like most everything else, that might get “spun” two different ways if he didn’t.
All just my opinion, of course. And I do apologize.
cent…where I am the girls and guys have separate facilities and staff, including infirmaries etc. Do you have female and male inmates being treated in the same infirmaries there? Wow…we sure don’t have that here, though I’m sure the inmates would love it if we did!
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Hilda is related to Chad!!! And she used to live in Macclenny. OMG.
Me, Yes they are.
When I said

I meant to add, but then she wouldn’t think of that either, would she. I think one thing we’re all waiting on is to see what kind of Misty is really there under all the drugs.
Just my opinion, of course.
alethea…no worries…I was a bit surprised by it as we often disagree, but you are usually very polite about it. I think we are all getting tense and it’s easy to get stirred up.
I am not a Ron fan at all…but I do believe he loved Haleigh with all his heart. Re Misty….I’m not 100% sure about her, but given how long it’s been, and how LE seems to have little or nothing on her other than suspcions, I’m thinking less and less that she knows something. I do think it’s possible she left the house and is lying about that, and I also think it’s possible she slept through it (I sleep through anything and everything when I’m really tired).
I’m still highly suspicious of Tommy, and think it’s possible he went in knowing Misty wasn’t at home, or knowing she was asleep. It wouldn’t be very high risk, as he could explain his presence if she woke up.
I am becoming increasingly suspicious of the Sheffields/Griffis, as money and the threat of going to jail would be a strong motive, plus, it appears LE overlooked them in the early investigation.
But right now, I am completely spun out that Hilda is related to Chad….I posted about her elsewhere many months ago, and this is the first time I’ve discovered they are related. I’m still suspicious of Sapp, Reynolds and others. But the fact that Chad seems to have at least one, and perhaps many more, RSOs in his family, is sending shivers down my spine.
Again, no worries about the tin foil….this is a sad and frustrating case for all of us.
Althea, I agree… and if this chick Ron was speaking with on the latest tapes, is more than a friend… Sissy Misty, will be COMING OUT…. A La Diana Ross style
Buddy,
Misty and Ron have not said anything about where Haleigh is. I am taking that to mean THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION. Rather than argue with me about my belief, why dont we just wait it out and see? My prediction, Padilla, being the publicity hound that he is WILL bail out Misty. Misty will say NOTHING to lead LE to Haliegh. Misty will somehow get ahold of drugs, and end up back in jail. We will be no closer to finding Haliegh. I am mearly predicting their actions based on their previous actions. It is ALL any of us have to go on.
cent…wow…it never occurred to me that females and males shared those facilities. Very different to the way it is here!
Does anyone know Chad’s brothers and sisters names? How is it that we know all of Ron’s partner’s family names, even all his aunt’s, uncles and cousin’s names, but we know nothing of the Griffis? Even though we know Chad uses crack (one of the most dangerous drugs out there), no one wants to look into HIS family? Do we know his mother’s name? Could his mother be Hilda?
Hilda is realated to Jeff Griffs that got killed on dunns creek bridge, but i am not sure how shes realted to him.
bonanzajellybean said,in February 8th, 2010 at 3:09 pm Ron would have told LE of ANY suspects. Is hiding his crimes worth more than finding his baby to him? I dont think so. He does not know who took haleigh.

Not arguing, it just did not sound like a prediction to me, so, I simply asked, how do you know what they know or what they will say or do? I myself am waiting to see before I claim to know who did what or who knows what.
Me, Here’s a link of players and family.

I think she looks a lot like Chad….if Chad is 29, she would have been 15 or 16 when she had him. I wonder if her victim was a family member.
Is this Crystal’s father? It sure looks like her. If not, is he a relative of some sort?
Sex offender from Starke Fla (in 2002) with the name John Sheffield.

BTW, John Sheffield’s victim was under 16.
good evening looking for justice,
i wanted to let you know if you have not heard yet, that dana treen CORRECTED that info about rc calling tc.
“A year since Haleigh Cummings vanished, Ronald and Misty lost their way long ago”
“dana.treen@jacksonville.com, (904) 359-4091
In an earlier version, it was stated that Cummings repeatedly called Misty Croslin’s brother the night Haleigh disappeared. Instead, he called Misty Croslin’s phone several times and her brother once.”
___—-___—-____—-____—-____—-____—-____
“looking for Justice said,in February 8th, 2010 at 2:10 pm m2c I found where it says Ronald tried to reach Misty 20 times but was unsuccessful. Look above in this article and click on the timeline.
What I found odd in the Dana Treen article is that it stated Ron repeatedly called Tommy and stated he was angry and wanted to know where Misty was. We have not heard about this many calls to Tommy from Ron before. Only the ones to Misty.”
Crystal has been ordered to rehab. I hope LONG TERM. As well as Misty. Prayers for all.
Timmy Croslin: You think this, any of this [expletive] would’ve happened to you if this [expletive] wasn’t going on in our life about Haleigh?
Tommy Croslin: No. Hell no. How long did I do stuff before and nothing happened?
oh, oh I get it. You are SUPPOSE to get away with drug activites. The police are ONLY picking on you now because of Haleigh. That is the ONLY reason you are in jail now. YOU and your family are TARGETED VICTIMS of the police.
What a loser.

i don’t know if you read the article about how lindsy first/now thought what a loving family the croslins are. it was only her and her dad.
i really hope while tc is inside, lindsy gets a chance to think without all the “loving” croslin’s around. so maybe she will think about her other choices without having to take care of tommy, misty, lisa and hank. tommy loves his mom and dad, but, thought it was okay to put his parent’s needs on lindsy while he sits in prison, and she cannot find money to buy food when she is caring for THEIR children, that was disgusting. and she has to move in with her grandparents with children to be okay. and he thought nothing of that.
i really am sorry about all the croslin’s. every one of them. but, their problems are many and sooo serious. i hope lindsy and her children’s lives improve now! she is still so young.
i heard what tobias said, maybe that lindsey is remembering the pre-drug-addled tommy. tommy is really in trouble. i hope lindsy gets a chance to really figure out what is best!
i sincerely wish her the best!

And….? This is NOT evidence that Ron is involved with Halieighs disappearace. This is what I mean by diverting the attention away from the evidence in the case. Look, I am no fan of Ron. I do not know him, do not want to know him, do not like him, believe he DOES belong in prison for 25 years minimum (preferably for life) for traffikking, hope he NEVER EVER breeds again, and I wish to god that Haleigh was never born to him. The same sediments apply to Misty. BUT….I want the TRUTH. I DONT want a child killer to get away with murder. Haliegh is more likely dead. My biggest concern is not bringing her home, it is PREVENTING another child killing. THE RIGHT PERSON NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. The evidence in this case is as I stated above:
Ron passed poly
Ron has solid alibi
Ron has consistent story
Police do not suspect Ron—Comes from the police themselves.
I’m not saying he did it either. I’m just saying don’t discount him as a possibility. Yes, he has a solid alibi…but we don’t really know for sure at what time Haleigh went missing. Ron has a consistent story…sure, all he has to say is, I wasn’t there. This puts all the pressure on Misty. Ron passed poly…only according to Ron, did Ron pass poly, not the police. I quoted the police in an earlier post. I guess you did not read it. Police do not suspect Ron…then why question him in jail? Don’t put your eggs all in one basket. There’s a story here, and it does not only lead to Misty. Enough of this “let’s focus on Haleigh crap.” The road to Haleigh is paved through the lives and events of these people. So you have to sort through what you can get to first, and that is Haleigh’s “guardians.”

I agree 100%. My only concern is LE has stopped there.
Thank you ms.Peridot. That really had me baffled. Thank you again for taking the time to respond that the article had been corrected.
