Hank “Tommy†Croslin Jr has been moved back to Putnam County Jail according to Putnam County Jail. Tommy is in jail on several charges of drug trafficking. He was arrested along with his sister Misty Croslin, Ronald Cummings, Hope Sykes and Donna Brock after an undercover operation for illegal sales of prescription drugs.
Tommy was brought over to St. Johns County Jail at the request of Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy. Sheriff Hardy thought it would be better so that Tommy wouldn’t be with the others that were jailed along with him in Palatka.
Tommy pleaded no contest at his court hearing three weeks ago on the trafficking charge  and he is scheduled to be sentenced on the drug charges on July 6. Sheriff Hardy feels that now would be a good time to bring Tommy back to the jail in Putnam County.
Tommy’s sister, Misty Croslin is believed to the last person to have seen little Haleigh Cummings, daughter of Ronald Cummings. She married Ronald Cummings after Haleigh disappeared which caused a lot of suspicion as for the timing of their marriage. The marriage didn’t last long and they were soon divorced.
Putnam County detectives that have been investigating Haleigh Cummings disappearance think that because of Misty’s different, she could have information that she is not revealing that could possible solve the case.
Sheriff Hardy now says that the authorities are saying this is now a homicide. After the last search in April when they had the team of divers at the Shell Harbour boat ramp to the St Johns River they came to the conclusion that she is probably dead. The search lasted three days. During the search they found a bone which they thought to be a human’s bone but later announced that it was only an animal bone yet now they are claiming that it is from a Native American and it was too old and large to even possibly be of Haleigh’s. According to Lt. Johnny Greenwood it is not unusual for them to find to find bones of American Natives in that area since a large number had once settled there.
Five year old Haleigh Cummings has been missing since February 10, 2009 and authorities have not been able to find any trace whatsoever of her even though there have been massive searches by law enforcement officers and volunteers.
This really amazes me. I know the police are leaning on Misty and her brother for information on what happened to Haleigh but I honestly can’t help but wonder if Misty, Ronald and Tommy are really smart enough or experienced enough to plan out a story that could cover up any wrong doings on their part involving Haleigh for this long. Sorry but I am just not buying it. It takes a really smart person to figure out a perfect murder plan. It takes time and unless this was something they have been planning for weeks or months prior to Haleigh’s disappearance, I just have a hard time believing this was their doings. It is more likely to be a plan from someone that has a lot of experience and that knows how to get away with this. It would take a lot longer than even a few hours to plan what they are thinking they have done and continue keeping it for 16 plus months I refuse to believe in my heart that Haleigh is dead and until they show me proof I will continue thinking so.
I am told that in Louisiana a person has to be missing for 7 years in order for a death certificate to be issued and unless the case is considered to be a homicide, then the 7 years stands. Now from what I could find in Florida a person missing has to be gone for 5 years before they can be declared dead. What I can’t find is if the missing person’s case is listed as a homicide could the law be the same as Louisiana. Anyway it is a food for thought. A death certificate is needed to collect life insurance on a deceased person too I believe. It sure makes my mind wonder.
The main thing here is Haleigh needs to be found either way. I wish it would be by finding her living with someone else somewhere in another state or perhaps even another country but I can’t say for sure. If she is no longer alive then her body needs to be recovered so the family’s on both sides need to know so this case can be solved. Enough is enough and it is way past the time for someone that has information about what happened that night comes forth.
Just keep your prayers going for Haleigh where ever she is. She will always be kept in mine. God bless you Haleigh!

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI will continue to keep praying right along with you Jan. I hope your theory is correct and Haleigh will be found alive and healthy. If LE is right and Haleigh is deceased then she needs to be found and given the proper burial. There is so much nonsense in this case that it hard to decipher the truth. JMO
Thanks for the article Jan. What do you make of the “bond posting” entry on 6/24/2010 9:34 AM on Tommy’s Booking Details?
Did’t Tommy admit he was there, saw Haleigh dead, and Joe throw her in the river?
that was for the gun theft of Mr Martin, it was no bond. He pled guilty and got timed served so that case is over and done with so basically it’s over and he doesn’t need a bond for that charge any longer.
Thanks Vaquera – I don’t understand any of this. So, he officially does have a bond for each charge? I remember the discussion on the tapes that “he didn’t have a bond”. Further, does that mean that if someone had the money (10% of total), he could get out of jail? Thanks.
I wonder why hardy wants tommy there?
Did tommy say he saw Haleigh dead or was it his attorney? And wasn’t it Tommy who led LE to the river?
Vaq, did you go and look at the log? It shows a bond posted today. It does not state how much. What do you think that is about?
John Sharp, Werter I believe stated what you said for Tommy.
FROM THE ARTICLE ABOVE: “Sheriff Hardy now says that the authorities are saying this is now a homicide and they think she was killed after the last search in April when they had the team of divers at the Shell Harbour boat ramp to the St Johns River. The search lasted three days.”
HUH? So they think she was alive until they did this last search? Killed AFTER that search? AFTER Misty, Ron and Tommy were all locked up? Is there an official press release out from SH about this? What did I miss or did I just misunderstand the above statement? Anyone?
How can anyone think Haleigh is alive… when Tommy saw her thrown into the river? Did LE disbelieve tommy? After his plea his attorney said Tommy had cooperated with police but they wanted more information. what does that mean?
Hi Folks,
This is just my opinion, but I am starting to think maybe it is the Sheffields with assistance from PSCO.
I took it JB as LE determined that Haleigh had been killed due to something they may have found at the search to say this case is now a homicide. I could be wrong though.
Denise, what type of assistance do you think PSCO gave?
lfj…OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! So she wasn’t KILLED after the search but that after the search they determined she had been killed. Phew! That one threw me for a big ole’ loopy-d-loop! I’m so desperate for something new I think I’m seeing things where they don’t exist! LOL
And by PSCO I am assuming you meant PCSO (Putnam County Sheriff’s Office), if that is not who you meant then what does PSCO stand for?
JB that is the way I read it. Hope I am correct because OMG!!! if I am not.
JB I read the article just like you did. If they think HaLeigh was killed after the search then Misty and the others in jail can’t have a part in her being missing. Maybe that is why Tommy has a bond now?
lfj – I think you’re right. I read that sentence like 20 times and still read it wrong. I was thinking OMG…she was alive all this time and maybe LE got too close to the truth and someone killed her (recently)…she could have been saved….I was about to hyperventilate! LOL
I am not sure exactly. Maybe with the cover up or to keep everyone looking at the wrong people. I have to agree that these people do not seem that smart as to be able to keep this quiet for so long.
I am still stuck on the jail log where it states bond posted with todays date. Tommy is still incarcerated in Putnam at this time so I am not sure what the bond posted was for.CONFUSED!! and why they broought him to Putnam until his sentencing July 6th 2010
Thank you so much Jan.I wanted to know what you thought about all of this.An i see your thinking as i am.I
Thank you so much Jan.I wanted to know what you thought about all of this.An i see your thinking as i am.I
If Tommy is facing drug charges in another county; Does one county take into consideration that he has already been senenced to time in another county?
Thank you so much Jan.I wanted to know what you thought about all of this.An i see your thinking as i am.I
Denise, if you think PCSO is involved what would their reason be? Why would they help in a cover up?
The 911 call was satged, imo, anyone standing there when it happened is high on my list for knowing what happened. Jmo
John W, Tommy is not facing any other charges. Misty has charges in two different counties, all of Tommy’s have always been only in Putnam County.
lfj – I’m with you….saw that it says posted but it is by the one with $0.00…..and what is the “LARC GRAND 1ST DEGREE 100K DOLS MORE OR LEO SEMI”? 100K would be $100,000….did he steal something worth $100,000? I’m so lost on these things. I don’t understand the lingo so can someone help me out? I’m a criminal lingo DohDoh! LOL
I agree jaba regarding the 911 call.
lfj – I guess the bond amount of $0.00 was the only one this family could afford to post! ROFLMAO….sorry, that was mean but couldn’t resist.
Seriously, I don’t know how to read any of this stuff. Can ANYONE make sense of what is going on?
Jaba @ 2:38pm Totally agree!
JB @ 2:40- Too Funny!
Miss Betty – I think you and I just read the article incorrectly. I don’t think Jan meant that SH thought Haleigh was killed AFTER that last search. But it about gave me a coronary!
JB, If that is the case that Haleigh was murdered after the search. We have not heard that they found Haleighs remains. My guess would be the drug dealers did have Haleigh. That would be my only guess.
Jan will help clear that up for us.OMG!! if it is the way you read it.
Well folks, at least we have something new to discuss. It may not be the news we want but at least there is “movement” on this case….albeit the movement of Tommy from one jail to another. Better than nothing I guess! LOL
So do we think something else is up? Perhaps another reason why Tommy was moved? Will he be in GP? With Ron?
I think Jan was saying that AFTER the last search that LE concluded that Haleigh had been killed on or about 2/9/2009 and that her case is a homicide case not a missing persons case.
JB you are too funny.LOL!! I am not sure what is going on. I hope someone will help explain it soon!! I took it as it was for that charge, but Vaq said that one was done and over with. Confused! as I said!!
I have an errand to run. I hope to bbl. Until then Gods Speed everyone. Praying for haleigh!!
That is what I thought too LadieSadie. I hope I read that right!
JB- I would love for Ron & Tommy to be in the same cell. Bunkies! I wonder who would get the top bunk and if either of them would ever sleep!
LadySadie- I agree!
lfj – I think some of us just read it wrong. I think it was the way you said it was…that AFTER the search SH made the statement that they believed Haleigh was dead….not that she killed after the search. But yes, it got my blood pumping, that is for sure.
So I wonder if Ronnie and Tommy will get to room together! LOL
Alex – LMAO – Great minds think alike! We both made the comment about Ron and Tommy being in the same cell at the exact same time – 2:48! ROFLMAO
So what the heck did Tommy steal that was $100,000 dollars or more? Did I miss something or am I once again reading this wrong?! LMAO
Thank Lady, I missed that.
JB- now if only we can make it happen? Are all the cells inFlorida jails 2 person cells? In CA, some are but the greater majority of inmates are in Pods!
Where’s Tobias or M2C? They always seem to know how to interpret these dang legal things! Would it KILL LE to put things in layman’s terms? I mean, REALLY? I can’t make heads or tails of the charges or what they really mean! But the last one with the bond of $0.00 looks like it is saying whatever Tommy stole was worth $100,000 or more. That’s an awful lot of dish soap and video games, don’t you think? ROFLMAO
Alex – well, Ronnie and Tommy are two peas in a pod so put them in a pod together and may the best pea win! ROFLMAO
Jb- maybe Tommy only sold for enough to get drug money, hence the $0 bond!
JB@ 2:55 ROFLMAO!!!!

This doesn’t show up the way it does on the website but next to the last one – it has a $0.00 bond amount and next to it in the column showing bond posted it shows today’s date. Why post bond on one charge? And once again, WHAT THE HECK DID HE STEAL that is worth $100,000 or more?
On the Tommy charge of “LARC GRAND 1ST DEGREE 100K DOLS MORE OR LEO SEMI”, I think the part that pertained to Tommy was the LEO SEMI, has something to do with stealing a semi automatic weapon.
Just wanted to say that what I meant in my statement:
Sheriff Hardy now says that the authorities are saying this is now a homicide and they think she was killed after the last search in April when they had the team of divers at the Shell Harbour boat ramp to the St Johns River.
I meant they came to the conclusion that she was killed not that she had been killed after. I will reword the article. I guess my words are confusing to some.
Jan Barrett
Tommy stole an old revolver from the old man not a semi automatic.
JB- It is strange since the last two charges are identical! One with a bond & one without!
nevermind ya’ll are talking about the other charges

That was for the gun theft and it was an old revolver not a semi automatic.
I an trying to find the statute but the one I found says it’s grand larceny for over 100,000 dollars and that’s not what his charge says..

—————
that is for the theft of the gun from Mr Martin, he pled guilty and got time served so the case is closed.
He was given a zero bond after the drug arrests in Jan. PCSO said since he was in trouble before they changed it to zero bond when he had a bond for it before. That way he couldn’t bond out.
vaq, here is how the statute reads:
812.014(2)(b) Theft.
(b)1. If the property stolen is valued at $20,000 or more, but less than $100,000;
2. The property stolen is cargo valued at less than $50,000 that has entered the stream of interstate or intrastate commerce from the shipper’s loading platform to the consignee’s receiving dock;
3. The property stolen is emergency medical equipment, valued at $300 or more, that is taken from a facility licensed under chapter 395 or from an aircraft or vehicle permitted under chapter 401; or
4. The property stolen is law enforcement equipment, valued at $300 or more, that is taken from an authorized emergency vehicle, as defined in s. 316.003,
the offender commits grand theft in the second degree, punishable as a felony of the second degree, as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. Emergency medical equipment means mechanical or electronic apparatus used to provide emergency services and care as defined in s. 395.002(9) or to treat medical emergencies. Law enforcement equipment means any property, device, or apparatus used by any law enforcement officer as defined in s. 943.10 in the officer’s official business. However, if the property is stolen within a county that is subject to a state of emergency declared by the Governor under chapter 252, the theft is committed after the declaration of emergency is made, and the perpetration of the theft is facilitated by conditions arising from the emergency, the theft is a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this paragraph, the term “conditions arising from the emergency” means civil unrest, power outages, curfews, voluntary or mandatory evacuations, or a reduction in the presence of or response time for first responders or homeland security personnel. For purposes of sentencing under chapter 921, a felony offense that is reclassified under this paragraph is ranked one level above the ranking under s. 921.0022 or s. 921.0023 of the offense committed.

Sorry grabbed the wrong statute, Tommy’s was 2(a)1 not 2(b). Here is 2(a)1
(2)(a)1. If the property stolen is valued at $100,000 or more or is a semitrailer that was deployed by a law enforcement officer; or
2. If the property stolen is cargo valued at $50,000 or more that has entered the stream of interstate or intrastate commerce from the shipper’s loading platform to the consignee’s receiving dock; or
3. If the offender commits any grand theft and:
a. In the course of committing the offense the offender uses a motor vehicle as an instrumentality, other than merely as a getaway vehicle, to assist in committing the offense and thereby damages the real property of another; or
b. In the course of committing the offense the offender causes damage to the real or personal property of another in excess of $1,000,
ok, here is what that statue means..
812.014-2a1
(2)(a)1. If the property stolen is valued at $100,000 or more or is a semitrailer that was deployed by a law enforcement officer;
Jan Tommy’s lawyer made public staements concerning what Tommy told LE then he has him plead to drug charges. His actions are suspect. This judge and prosecutor may be displeased with him whether he lied or not.

—————–
I sure don’t believe a word Tommy or Misty says.
If anyone wants to get TC out, you can do it for 10% of $107,508.00. That is his current bond according to PCSO. I just went online and looked him up under jail inmates in Putnam County. The $100,000 is for the drug charges, and other charges carry $5,004 and $2,504 each.
Don’t everybody crowd around at once to cut him loose!.
LadySadie – thanks for posting that. But DANG! What did that boy steal? I thought he stole an old gun and some dish soap for Pete’s sake! Was a semi-tractor truck FULL of dish soap? ROFLMAO
Tobie – I wouldn’t pay a dang cent to get that boy out of jail! LOL
He atty was stupid because he was overcharged for the theft of an old revolver.Even if the thing was gold plated and shot gold bullets it would not be worth 100,000 dollars.
Vas It doesn’t exactly matter if Tommy was lying or not. What he said itself is enough to piss off police, prosecutors and judges.
LEO= Law enforcement officer. Don’t know what semi is, but doubt it is a weapon
vaquera – excellent!
Bond posted $0.00 means nobody posted any bond at all — all bonds are still in effect.
Vaq / Jan – even IF you believe Tommy and/or Misty, WHICH story would you believe? There have been so many!
Let’s see….we have:
1) I don’t know nuttin’
2) A man in black in the doorway
3) I saw Tommy in the doorway
4) Joe and Tommy came to steal the gun and Joe took Haleigh in a fit of rage
5) Joe didn’t have anything to do with it
6) I wasn’t at the trailer that night
7) Okay, I did go by the trailer that night but Misty wasn’t home
8) Okay, I really wasn’t at the trailer and I only said that to get LE off my back
9) The Mexicans did it – A Mexican by the name of Larry…okie dokie
10) There were four people in black
11) I had a dream (yeah, you and Martin Luther King)
12) They need to look at Ron
13) I’ve told all I know
14) I know nothing…again
Tobie (Girl) but the second Larc Grand- has the bail at nothing!
He didn’t steal anything worth $100,000 or more, that is just the bond for his drug charges.
So, with the plea… how many years do you think he will get?
It is a mandatory 15 years minimum…
I KNOW! Tommy stole a Semi truck full of dish soap headed to police headquarters!
Perhaps he could have stolen some laundry soap while he was at it so Misty didn’t have to do laundry without it! LMAO
Tobie (Girl( the statue that he is charge with states that , see LadySadie’s post @ 33:21pm.
Alex — You are right. I went back and read the charges. Tried to call the PCSO jail, but I get a recording. Guess everybody is busy.
oops at 3:21pm
812.014-2a1 LARC GRAND 1ST DEGREE 100K DOLS MORE OR LEO SEMI F F $2,504.00
Tobie – so why does it have two lines (one with a bond of $2504.00 and the other paid) that says grand larceny 1st degree $100,000 dollars or more or Law enforcement semi? To me that indicates he stole something worth $100,000 or more OR worth $50,000 or more from a LE semi….see LadySadie’s post below:
******************
LadySadie said,in June 24th, 2010 at 3:21 pm Sorry grabbed the wrong statute, Tommy’s was 2(a)1 not 2(b). Here is 2(a)1
(2)(a)1. If the property stolen is valued at $100,000 or more or is a semitrailer that was deployed by a law enforcement officer; or
2. If the property stolen is cargo valued at $50,000 or more that has entered the stream of interstate or intrastate commerce from the shipper’s loading platform to the consignee’s receiving dock; or
3. If the offender commits any grand theft and:
a. In the course of committing the offense the offender uses a motor vehicle as an instrumentality, other than merely as a getaway vehicle, to assist in committing the offense and thereby damages the real property of another; or
b. In the course of committing the offense the offender causes damage to the real or personal property of another in excess of $1,000,
******************
I think they’ve got the wrong charges posted for him. I don’t think he’s smart enough to be able to steal something worth over $100,000. JMO
where is the WHY?
This really amazes me. I know the police are leaning on Misty and her brother for information on what happened to Haleigh but I honestly can’t help but wonder if Misty, Ronald and Tommy are really smart enough or experienced enough to plan out a story that could cover up any wrong doings on their part involving Haleigh for this long. Sorry but I am just not buying it.
—————————————-
Great article Jan! Thank you!
I totally agree. Particularly with the above paragraph. I am not buying it either.
Tobie (Girl) He may not of stolen anything that valuable but they charged him with it anyway! His attorney should know better!
Lynny – what “WHY”? WHY they moved Tommy? Why they’ve lied? Why Haleigh is missing? Why what? LOL
This case is going to be the death of all of us! NOTHING EVER MAKES ANY SENSE! ARGH!
ME – can you make any sense of Tommy’s charges? We’re bamboozled trying to make heads or tails out of this mess. HELP!
JB@3:45pm ROFLMAO- But it wouldn’t surprise me if he did something like that!
Alex – well, DANG, the last I heard the boy broke into someone’s house and stole some cleaning supplies and video games…..now he’s got charges of grand larceny for over $100,000? I don’t think so! LOL
JB,
I’m as confused as you are re those charges! I can’t imagine he stole anything that valuable. Perhaps it’s just a typo??
Tobie (Girl) said,
in June 24th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Bond posted $0.00 means nobody posted any bond at all — all bonds are still in effect.
————————
when Tommy was arrested for the gun theft charges his bond was 2504 and he bonded out till trial. When he got busted for the drug selling in Jan. PCSO revoked his bond on that charge which made it zero so he couldn’t bond back out. Even if someone paid all his bonds to get out of jail he couldn’t have because he had a zero(which just means no bond) on the gun theft.that case is now over, he pled guilty and got time served so that is why it shows the bond paid.
JB- Though out here in CA they using cleaning chemicals to make drugs! I hope that’s not what Tommy was planning!
JB – omg…. OMG!
That is such the truth… none to be had out of the mouths of anyone with the last name Croslin!
Me- That would be a typo twice!
ME – I’m thinking it has to be an error of some kind because that charge doesn’t fit the crime unless he has done a crime that we don’t know about! But there are even TWO lines of charges that are the same and BOTH state the same thing! STRANGE! You’d think they’d want to make sure every i was dotted and t crossed…no boo boos! Too many folks watching this case!
Alex – LOL – Knowing Tommy’s luck, someone would tell him there is a truckload of cleaning supplies he could go steal to make drugs….he’d do it and then find out it was a truckload of sponges! ROFLMAO
Alexandria,
Yep, it would be. But I can’t think of any other explanation for it. The idea of Tommy pulling off a theft of over $100k seems ludicrous! But then again, if you believe LE, he may have been smart enough to pull off the perfect crime re Haleigh, so who knows?
Jan,
Good article. Makes you think. If Misty really was not home that night and went out party and left those children unattended, then anyone could have came into that home and took Haliegh. No sign of her, no blood, no evidenced whatsoever, good point. I think it should be seriously considered. Like you said, these people are not the brightest bulbs in the chandlier, could they murder/dispose of a child and cover themselves so well. The saying goes:two can keep a secret if one is dead. However the theory is:there are atleast three or more ppl involved in this, and not one has slipped up yet, and at least two of them are sitting in jail for lesser crimes, that they could get out of if they were to talk. Do we all really buy that? Something to think about. Great article Jan!
JB,
I suppose there’s a chance they gave him new charges in one last attempt to frighten him? I can’t help but wonder if they brought him back to Putnam knowing that he was about to be sentenced and this was their last chance to talk to him??? It seems odd that they’d put him in the same jail as Ron.
I don’t think it was as hard as we make the ‘perfect crime’ to happen. A 5 year old isn’t hard to dominate physically without leaving a trace.
Keeping quiet through all of this for the ones who know, harder but if they themself/selves did it, they have a lot to keep quiet about or there will be a murder charge on there head.
Imo, who knows, with all the empty pockets of evidence being shared with the public, could be an alien abduction.
JB & me- the only explanation to me is that if he stole something of little value (chemicals) but was going to make something of greater value (drugs) then they are charging him with what the value was going to be to him and not the actual value of the product he stole!
I ‘ve never heard of anything like that being done before but again this case is so full of surprises that nothing surprises me anymore.
Each night before I go to sleep I not only pray for Haleigh but for all her family and extended family to give those peace and closure that are innocent and if any of them are guilty in HaLeigh’s disappearance to give them the strength to face up to it and ease the pain of the others!
Where is CathyJo63?
ME – that is what I thought (bringing him to the same jail as Ron). Surely they will prevent any contact between the two. Ron is in GP so Tommy will probably be kept in solitary (or whatever it is called at this jail). I mean Hope wasn’t moved before her sentencing! Why Tommy? What are they up to?
Alex – AMEN! If Tommy, Misty and/or Ron aren’t guilty then get on with the drug charges, be fair with them and FIND the person who did this to Haleigh. Or better yet, find Haleigh alive and well and BRING HER HOME!
Something more than what hardy said about the transfer has to be going on.
Maybe they moved Tommy to see if he is truly afraid of Ronald. Or maybe they have a snitch to see what Tommy and Ronald say to each other. Ronald was warned by his mother that she was told the jail had a snitch.
I dont think its legal for cops to ‘Just give charges to scare people’ unless the charges have some kind of merit.
Well, I guess all jail’s have a snitch or two trying to get a deal.
JB,
I agree that they’d prevent contact between the 2, but I still would have thought Tommy would be at higher risk being in the same jail as Ron. Interesting that Werter seems to have gone quiet. Perhaps we’ll understand it better when we get his jail visits and calls for that time period.
I am guessing PCSO is getting a bit desperate as they know that once they are all sentenced, they have little to no chance of them talking and PCSO will be left with egg on their face.
Do any of you remember the John Smith Case?
His brother kept John’s secret for I beleive about 20 years, always gnawing at him until he finally gave John up! So sometimes people can keep secrets!
Actually it was Mrs Sykes that relayed a message from “Rooster” Ron’s father(really hate to call him father because he wasn’t in their lives, so biodad then) to watch himself because there are snitches in jail
Alex, But eventually he gave him up right, so in all actuality he didnt keep the secret.
Jaba- I totally agree, more is going on then we are being told!
I think if Tommy knew anything he would have told by now unless he is the guilty one.
Karri- it took 20 years! The grandfather also knew but never gave it up!
Lady,
I totally agree.

——————-
PCSO does. The first time Tommy was arrested they gave him this huge bond and right after he gave them the info of him being over there at 10 that night his bond was lowered and he bailed out.
Maybe I watch too many crime shows, but I was under the impression that cops can use trickery to get a confession.
There are a lot of cases where people have kept quiet. I read some time ago about a rape and murder. There were 10 or 15 people that witnessed it…some were good friends with the victim. They watched her raped, beaten and murdered and ALL of them kept their mouths shut for over 30 years. It happens all the time. But I think the only way these knuckleheads would/could keep quiet is if they were involved.
Their changes in stories are either to cover their own backsides OR they are trying to appease the investigators.
Years back there was the case of the father who was accused of molesting, raping and murdering his 3 year old daughter. After 12 hours of questioning he signed a confession. He later stated he didn’t do it…..he was just under pressure from LE…..DNA FINALLY proved he was innocent. So even false confessions happen and probably more frequently than we know.
And then you have the likes of Joran van der sloot who just seems to get jollies out of telling a different story everyday.
Anyone care to ponder how long we would have waited on any of these three to ‘slip up’ and say something outside of incarceration?
What should LE have done with these three specifically? Surveilance? Wiretap? Insider?
How much could they spend in resources and manpower with all the other crime they try and get solved?
Criminals aren’t very open about things and lie all the time.
From all I’ve read about both sides of families here are ‘hiders’.
Real, hard evidence hasn’t been found, that we know of. Big IF. LE has things we don’t know about that might change our Theories of who dun’ it. Imo
LadyonaMission- I think cops can use trickery to get a confession but they can’t falsify public documents! When they request warrants they have to swear the information they are giving is true to the best of their knowledge!
It IS legal for cops to lie and use trickery to obtain confessions. They can tell one suspect another suspect has already confessed, they can say they have witnesses, they can say just about anything….and they generally do.
I don’t think it is necessarily wrong for them to do this but I think they take it to extremes, question people for WAY too many hours and break them down and intimidate them into false confessions which defeats the whole purpose of “seeking justice”.
The point isn’t just to arrest and convict “someone” but to arrest and convict the GUILTY party. I understand the passion LE has for obtaining justice but in their zeal I think they make mistakes….just like we do in our theories. Most of us are pretty sure in our guts that we know what happened to Haleigh and we’re very passionate about it. But we can’t all be right. It is no different with LE. They get tunnel vision too and they step over boundaries they should never cross in an attempt to give justice to the victims.
JB- Maybe if this group were in a jail like the one Joran is in they would come up with the truth. Right now they don’t have to worry about food, clothing or housing bills! They would sure get along with Joran and he could take bets on who could tell the best whopper!
Jaba- I am hoping that LE has a lot more then they’re letting us know. I only hope it’s irrefutable facts that lead to the right culprit(s).
Alex – Yes, perhaps a couple of sewer rats crawling out of the crap hole in the corner would get Misty, Tommy and Ronnie boy to talk! LOL Good Grief! Misty wrote to the governor over the food. Think what she’d do over being in a prison like that! LOL
Jaba – Oh, trust me, I think these folks are right where they belong. Irregardless of the Haleigh case, they broke the law. Do I think perhaps it was a tool for LE to use to get info about Haleigh? You bet! Is it legal? Yes it is! They BROKE THE LAW! And now they’ll have to face the charges and sentencing! Tough luck! Won’t see me shedding any tears over them!
But I do think LE steps over boundaries (nationwide) from time to time and they get false confessions. That doesn’t solve anything. It puts an innocent person behind bars, ruins countless lives, and allows the truly guilty party to continue their rein of crime and terror.
Thank you for the post Jan. As always, your fair and to the point. I agree, they are not smart enough to out smart LE unless LE is asleep at the wheel. I have racked my brain and can come up with nothing. If the Croslin’s are not involved, who on earth is? A sex offender? They interviewed all of them to my knowledge…am thinking that LE belives that they have the guilty ones in jail:( I only wish Haleigh could be found and this could be put to rest! So very frustrating!
Lest we forget LE knows more than we do, I hope!
okie…that is what we’re ALL counting on…that LE has got something that tells them they are going in the right direction! We can only hope and pray that the truly guilty person isn’t off enjoying life somewhere! (My gut STILL tells me the guilty persons are already behind bars but perhaps that “gut feeling” is truly just a bad case of indigestion and I’m WAY off base! LOL)
JB@4:52pm- totally agree
There are so many
holes in the case
its hard to know how on track any theories really are.
So much unknown.
The biggest, What happened to Haleigh?
Gotta go all! Take care, hugs to all and GOOD NIGHT! God Bless Haleigh!
okie222- I think LE interviewed the RSO that they knew about in that area. There could have been another sex offender who was never caught before or even one visiting as in the Jessica Lunsford case. I don’t think they could have cleared all the sex offenders so quickly and to me that means that know who did it or they have severe tunnel vision!
Bye JB.
bbl- mom needs me!
Alexandria,
IMO, PCSO has had severe tunnel vision and now they’d be too embarrassed to change tact after all the bold public statements they’ve made. Which is why I really wish they’d get fresh LE involved.
Bye Alexandria.
I’ve gotta go too….work….yuck!
It could be that HaLeigh was taken by someone who is not a registered SO. It could be someone that has never been caught or a first time offender.
Perhaps Misty was gone and doesn’t know what happend. Tommy could be making up stories to get out of jail like he did when he said he was there and knocked on the door and no one was home. The rest of his stories could have been made up to give LE something and he just wanted out so badly that he went into fiction mode.
I feel like something is not right with Ronald and his fake crying so perhaps he thinks she was “stole” because of a drug deal gone bad and he really doesn’t know the truth.
Maybe none of them know the truth.
Denise,It wouldn’t shock me!
The sheffs and griffs are as bad as the rest,if not worse,jmo
Makes ya wonder more though now being as and tn went to the search!
Me,along time ago yes!
bot too,If ron had told the truth from the start,about knowing who may have done this? Do they really believe she may have been killed after?
doesnt take brains to just repeat the same story over and over again. And every now and then make up one and say maybe this happened. Remember they all have us fooled too. The problem here appears to be a lack of evidence or witnesses. And all of them know it by now. jmo

************************
Exactly,not who dealt drugs!
Tobias Amen! tunnel vision!
Tobias,Doesn’t take brains to say,I don’t know either!
I wish ron would have expounded on his 75% surety of what happened.
While I don’t think he did it directly, I think he knows.
I also think misty knows more than she is telling. Imo
But they need to be punished for their drug trafficking like anyone else, imo, anyway.
ITA Jaba, and I dont think LE has tunnel vision. It just appears that way to us since most of the news has been about the 3 in jail lately. You can bet the others are being watched and phones+ computers etc. jmo
Tunnel vision…Misty saying they need to look at somebody else! Misty also saying she thought Joe had something to do with it, early on. I agree a fresh set of several eyes needs to look at this case from the very beginning. This and all the other missing cases have gone on for too long. Just not enough LE hours and man power for them:( So sad.
Drug trafficking is a crime and they should be punished! JMO
I dont get the need to seperate Tommy from the others in jail unless they mean some of the inmates in with him at St. Johns. He didnt have contact with Misty or Donna all the time he has been there. jmo
And those folks are watching these boards. How could they not? They have myspace pages.
Do we really think they don’t read stuff about themselves?
Of course I mean the ones on the outside.
Le didn’t ‘do’ the crime, they have to react to it and investigate it ‘after’ the crime has been done.
They are far from perfect but until we see all the evidence we won’t know the true story.
Maybe that is soon. I hope so.
I thought I read that Ron and Crystal could go to court now and have her declared dead. And they decided together not to do that and not to have any service either. jmo
Jan, I am soooooooo with you on this! Nice article.
I haven’t had a chance to read others’ comments yet but will do so after I post.
It is time for the truth to come out and I don’t mean from anybody who “holds a key.” I mean from LE:
1. According to the transcript of the police scanner when the 911 call from Misty and Ronald was made, the officer at Tommy’s house said that HaLeigh was last seen 1- to 1-1/2 hours ago at her residence. This would be about 2 am. Curiously, this corresponds to Greenwood’s statement, “When the first call came in at 2:13 am.” This needs to be addressed.
2. What is the basis for classifying this a homicide?
3. Most recently we have Sheriff Hardy “feeling” that it would be a good time to bring Tommy back to the jail in Putnam County? Feeling? Is that how Putnam County works, depends on what the Sheriff FEELS?
Maybe I’m jumping to conclusions and shouldn’t be making my reaction public but this stuff smells rotten to me right now!!
Could they have moved him so he could get visits from Lisa since she cant leave the county? He will get to visit with her before he is sentenced and sent off to prison . jmo
So many people have the idea that LE “owes” the public something. I don’t think they do. If making any information public could harm the investigation in the least they should keep it to themselves until the proper time and place.
Maybe they did move Tommy so his mother can visit him in exchange for a snippet of the truth from him.
LadyonaMission, I agree with you that LE should keep private any information that could harm the investigation.
If the truth is told and the facts disclosed and it all adds up then I don’t have any problem with them playing their cards close to their chests.
If the case goes unsolved and/or there are no charges made within a reasonable amount of time then yes, LE does owe us the facts as they know them.
We can’t have children vanishing in the middle of the night shrouded in a cloud of secrecy.
Did we ever figure out where hank and lisa are living for sure?
Cate @ 5:50 I totally agree.
The challenge at that time would be getting the case declared “cold” which I think it has to be so that then we can try to get the Sunshine Law invoked and see what’s been going on.
Sorry. I forgot to include LadyonaMission @ 5:46. I agree with what you said.
And I think it’s good that we question and still demand results rather than blindly trust, you know? The old checks and balances system.
m2c, Is it going to take seven years? Oh, I hope not!
m2c, post @ 6:04, that’s a good way of putting it, “checks and balance system.”
It really looks Tommy can bond out if anyone can come up with the dough. Just $107,508 and he’s breathing fresh air. Leonard?
I’ve been reading articles written soon after Haleigh disappeared and found a couple of things that relate to some topics mentioned here recently.
Alexandria, about the SOs:
Fox news.com Feb 13, 2009
Quotes from the early days:
(investigators questioned 44 sex registered sex offenders:
“All the sex offenders have been interviewed and their residences have been searched,” said Putnam County Sheriff Jeff Hardy. “They’re cleared as far as us contacting them and speaking to them.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,492425,00.html?loomia_ow=t0:s0:a16:g12:r1:c0.834053:b25421466:z6
Fox news.com Feb 13, 2009
- – -
Note the qualifier: “as far as us contacting them and speaking to them.” That’s not the same as “clearing” so maybe we got the wrong idea back then although I have not heard about LE pursuing that track.
Also the context in which R said, “Somebody stole my child.” (see below) It was to stress that he did not think she wandered off on her own.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,491008,00.html
Cummings, who has custody of Haleigh and her brother Junior, said his daughter was scared of the dark and would not wander off.
“Somebody stole my child,” he said. “Trust me when I tell you that I know my child.”
Actually its only 10% of that the rest is covered by a bail bond company. jmo
Usually it is 10% and the bail bond company wants collateral for the rest.
I don’t think anyone will bond him out because he has no place to live and no job. His parents live in a one room place that some church runs for homeless people. Plus in 12 days he will be sentenced and sent to prison.
For someone who has committed grand theft to be tried for a felony, proof must be given that the accumulated value of any items stolen is worth a set value. If they are found to be under that value, then he or she may be charged with a misdemeanor. An item’s value may be hard to prove if it was not insured, especially since stolen property is often not recovered. When it is recovered, damage may have occurred, thus altering the overall value if the plaintiff cannot prove the damage was done after the robbery occurred.
Tommy may get off on a misdemeaner on these charges because the value of the items are not $100,000 like the charges say.jmo
Last time I bought sponges and dawn,towels and jack daniels it sure didnt come to $100,000. lol jmo
to me it is quoting a statute. grand larceny (over one hundred thousand) OR a semi automatic fire arm. He fits the bill for the semi automatic. one statute can cover more than one offense and every thing in it does not have to apply. jmo
The gun that was reported missing was a rust shotgun and it was not found. jmo
Good evening…
just checking in.. I have read, read, and re-read…. please someone explain to me:
WHO are the two people this is going to hurt??? (Per Misty) and
WHY WHY WHY did Misty, Tommy, and Joe’s grandmother
go on national tv and say that both Tommy and Misty pretty much told her what happened? She gave details, she gave locations, she talked about rape…
I can’t get past any of the above statements. If there is ANY shred of evidence in any of these statements….
all three of these people know/knew, and are guilty….
I can’t imagine them just moving TC just “because” when it is so close to his sentencing date. I wonder if they are about to charge him with something regarding Haleigh.
or…. maybe Tommy cracked and spilled it..
Hope it’s Haleigh related whatever it is.
I was hoping Nancy Grace would have some sort of update.. anything.. but it’s all still about VanDerSloot…. dang
Items recovered and stolen from the BE.PER INCIDENT RPORT.
1,Rusted Shotgun not recovered value $350
2. Dawn value$10
3. 1 bottle soft soap value $3
4.1 pint captain morgan value $10
5. 5 mini bottles of jim beam value $20
6.nintendo value $40
7. gameboy games harry otter and donkey kong value $40
8. 2 scotch brite sponges value $10
9. 8 harry potter dvds value $160
10.4 lord of the rings dvds $80
11. $80 in change in a gatoraid bottle
12. golf cart battery charger
Is this really enough for grand larceny burglery $100K? JMO
what is the BE?
tHESE ARE THE ITEMS tOMMY TOOK IN A BREAKING AND ENTERING THAT mISTY SAID HE COMMITTED AND THE ITEMS FOUND IN HIS HOME WITH lINDSYS HELP. JMO
cat, I think grand larceny is an amount of $1,000 or more.
= = =
Cate at 6:07 pm you asked: “Is it going to take seven years? Oh, I hope not!”
Do you mean being able to get the Sunshine Law applied? I hope not too. It’s not a matter of a set amount of time passing, as I understand it. It’s more that the case is at a stand still, no new leads, it’s gone cold. But getting PCSO to admit that or the state attorney general to overrule PCSO and declare it cold is the problem. One of our bloggers has tried that and it didn’t work. But maybe later on she can try again. Especially if nothing more comes out about Haleigh after all these people are sentenced.
Dang, bottle of Dawn value $10, that must be on large a$$ bottle, LOL.
ty, Tobias…
did you mean Lindsy helped Tommy, or she helped fine the items in her home?
Grand larceny is $1,000 and I don’t think that list adds up to that.
Petit theft is less than $1,000.
She helped find the items and her name is on the incident report as a witness. jmo
M2C, And according to the incident report the shotgun is missing. I dont think they are going to really get him on these charges. jmo
In Florida if the value is over 300 but less then 5000 it is grand larceny of the third degree.
If you look at the post above that I put up, I researched and found it.Tommy isnt going to get the real charges on that B.E he would only get a misdemeaner, and without the gun it will be even less. jmo
For someone who has committed grand theft to be tried for a felony, proof must be given that the accumulated value of any items stolen is worth a set value. If they are found to be under that value, then he or she may be charged with a misdemeanor. An item’s value may be hard to prove if it was not insured, especially since stolen property is often not recovered. When it is recovered, damage may have occurred, thus altering the overall value if the plaintiff cannot prove the damage was done after the robbery occurred.
Florida Statute 812.014
c) It is grand theft of the third degree and a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084, if the property stolen is:
1. Valued at $300 or more, but less than $5,000.
2. Valued at $5,000 or more, but less than $10,000.
3. Valued at $10,000 or more, but less than $20,000.
4. A will, codicil, or other testamentary instrument.
5. A firearm.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(several other things as well)
any more update on Lindsy filing for divorce?
On the incident reportthe gun wasnt recovered. Does that mean the charges will be lowered?jmo
I think conviction of a 3rd degree felony can get you 5 years in prison.
He has a 812.014-2al grand larceny 1st degree 100k or more or LEO semi.
Dont know where they got those charges but thats not grand theft. jmo
I got the info off the PCSD booking site, He was booked and his charges are there. jmo
I am ready for the shock cause it may come when Tommy gets 3 years or less. Hope not but I am braced for it. jmo
lindsy/divorce filing? anyone?
His burglary of a dwelling is a 2st degree felony because he became armed during the commission 810.02-2b
But his lawyer will get that thrown out because without the shot gun they cant prove it. Dont like it but its what will happen. jmo
Thank you, WhyLie! I didn’t look up Florida specifically but I knew it was in that range.
Tobias, I don’t think the stolen gun charge will stick either. Maybe it was stolen at the same time but LE never found it.
I don’t understand the 3 years T thinks he’s going to get. Aren’t there drug charges amounting to more than that on top of the burglary?
According to his docket its an add on of possession, dont know what it will do to the 3 year min. /30 year max. charge???? jmo
Tommy has the 1 drug trafficking charge, which he has already plead to and will be sentenced on 7/6 mandatory minimum 3 years, 1 possession charge which he has already plead to (does not fall under mandatory statutes) he will also be sentenced on 7/6 for this, 1 grand larceny charge which was reduced to trespassing already been sentenced to time served and a $263 fine, and this last grand larceny charge – which from everything we have seen LE does not have enough evidence to even make the charges and it could probably (and if his lawyer is any good at all) dismissed.
And I am real curious about the video of Tommy, we havent seen one and according to the incident reports he wasnt in the UC car. He went all over to find the drugs and I think they ended up at the McDonalds in the end. I dont think he got very many pills either. Wished I could remember where I saw the incident report for him. Its not with the ones on BNN. Maybe it was at sky news? jmo
So looking at the in Tommy’s “best” case scenario he could be sentenced to the mandatory 3 years for the trafficking, then the judge could either just fine him for the probation or give a small sentence to run concurrent with the 3 year mandatory sentence, all the time (over 6 months) that he has spent in county lockup counts towards his 3 years, he could walk out in 2 1/2 years.
Sadie, Thats why I am bracing myself ,in case I get shocked that he gets only 2 1/2 years.
He should get charged for the lies he told. jmo
I think Lindsy will go through with the divorce just because she cant find a job and her relatives will support her if she does. But unless she gets a brain she will be back with ol dumbo after he gets out. She just strikes me as someone who would do that. jmo
Well gotta get up early for work. Good night everyone.
Evening everyone: what is the cut off line for minimum or maximum sentence? Meaning what is the line for jail time v.s. Prison time. Canadian is 2 years less a day.
I agree tobias, Lindsy will probably go ahead with the divorce, let her grandpa support her and the kids while Tommy is in prison, play around a bit (or a lot), then as soon as Tommy is free go running back to him.
tobias said,in June 24th, 2010 at 6:21 pm Actually its only 10% of that the rest is covered by a bail bond company. jmo
********************
You mean to tell me,Tommy can get out? omg
LOL, yea CathyJo, Tommy could get out for about 12 days then be sent off to prison. That is if anyone could come up with the 10%, LOL, don’t think that is going to happen.
cat dixon said,in June 24th, 2010 at 6:54 pm to me it is quoting a statute. grand larceny (over one hundred thousand) OR a semi automatic fire arm. He fits the bill for the semi automatic. one statute can cover more than one offense and every thing in it does not have to apply. jmo
**********************
Hi Cat,you ok tonight?
Lindsey better hope not,imo Lady,omg
12 days,sheeeesh I’d stay! just enought to add 50 more yrs,lol knowing him?
A comma missing in a sentence, can change the entire reading and meaning of it.
Tommy is cutting deals for information, in my opinion. OR could be that his life was threatened where he was at. OR maybe wanted to get him away from Misty and all the talking going on within the place.
It could also keep Misty from feeling threatened when Tommy gets charged and tries to blame it on Misty for telling?
Who knows.
Evening everyone.
10%,where have i heard that,lol j/k
I don’t think Hank and Lisa have $10750.80 laying around, same goes for Timmy or Lindsy.
Padilla bought his wife a pc,(Lindsey i mean) so maybe he’ll bond him out,lol
Now the eighty cents they might be able to come up with, anyone want to donate $10750?
I’d say they don’t Lady,I sure don’t,lol
LOL, Padilla bought her a $250 pc, with a months wireless thrown in.
Well Lady,heres my 2 cents!!
RUN LIKE HELLO LINDSEY!
AND A CAM LADY!
Maybe Misty will hock that “heirloom” engagement ring and bond him out, LOL.
my little man wants mamam’s puter,bbl
webcam included in the $250 price, LOL.
I’m really thinking that Hardy moved Tommy because they have finalized Tommy’s deal and Hardy doesn’t want any of Tommy’s phone conversations released.
CJ, little man needs to be in bed so mamam can have her computer back!
Or Kate, Sheriff Shoar got sick of all the media requests and said take one back, dealing with one of the nuts is enough.
JenM, Just found your post. I like your idea of moving Tommy to prohibit communication, even if it is indirect, with Misty. Kind of surprising that they were in the same facility to begin with. And Donna, too. I found that strange.
LOL
Lady Sadie!!!
What sort of reputation does St. John’s County LE have? I keep meaning to look them up on Topix to see if any of the posts are like the ones for the mess that appears to be PCSO.
So have we come to a conclusion about what Tommy’s 6/24/2010 bond post means? If that is the charge that has already been dealt with, time already served and $638 (or something) fine, then why is it dated today?
Sheriff Shoar has won America’s Most Wanted “Top Cop” award twice and been nominated for it 3 or 4 times. In the past there has been problems with the “good” old boy system, but that has been pretty much cleaned up. Last year Sheriff Shoar even help in a FBI sting of one of our City Councilmen.

*****
Paperwork finally got processed today and entered into the computer today? At least that is what I think.
I’ve met Sheriff Shoar a few times when he will come out to the schools to give a talk and once when I was doing some work at the Juvenile Facility Education side. Seems like a real decent guy.
Well, from what we have seen with paperwork mistakes from LE (both on Haleigh and Caylee cases), I don’t doubt there is wrong information on this too.
Other reasons he could of been moved…lol.
Tommy was moved because he questioned the validity of the LDT machine where he was.
Tommy’s complaint letter to the Govenor got him a double bed at his new place.
Tommy was moved because Lyndsy found out he was having an affair with his cellmate.
Tommy was moved because he needed a change of cell scenery.
Sorry, just being goofy.
One time when I was at the Juvenile Facility, some problem broke out and it was put in lock down. I was on the all male side and the “juveniles” were between 16 and 17 years old, ever single one of them were about 2 to 3 times my size, I was scared sh**less, Sheriff Shoar came himself to escort me and another co-worker out so that we didn’t get stuck there for hours.
Really, really, really releived to read these good things about Sheriff Shoar!
JenM, no need to apologize about being goofy! So glad you were, needed the giggles.
And now need to go to bed; eager to check back in the morning to see what is going on.
Hi Cathy Jo, I am doing pretty good. Just trying to figure out all this new info. I wonder if any thing will ever pan out with tommys version about what happened. If it does, will they charge lindsey for obstructing justice, because tommy told GH that lindsey already knew the story. Just curious about that. LE could go felony on that if they wanted. It would be a shame for her to finally get away from tommy only to end up in jail (and loose her career) over an obstructing charge.
you guys are right. i bet she ends up going back with him. but she has gotta put that distance between them right now or no help from the family
I got a feeling LE might have gotten some useful info out of tommy after all. Maybe that is the reason for the jail transfer.
sorry about the earlier one hundred thousand post, i meant one thousand. hey I was only few thousand off! LOL
what makes you think tomMe would want her after seeing the party pics?..I highly doubt it..

I am pretty sure that the zero bond for the grand larceny was for the gun theft from Mr. Martin and not the other burglary stuff. When he got arrested for the drug selling that revoked that bond and he got a non bond and now that the case is closed the bond amount is showing paid..still,he was overcharged but he did get timed served..

how would Tommy see them? They weren’t online very long and he has no access to computer in jail.
I don’t think tommy would care what she did in the past as long as she was a good little girl (and listened to him), when they finally reunite. He is probably stewing because he can’t control her right now. I don’t think it is about love, I think it is more about “your mine, now do what i say”. jmo

He said Tommy seeing them. I know he was told about them by his relatives in TN, I was just asking how he would “see them”?
Ummmm, guys have you SEEN Tommy, who else would have him? He would forgive Lindsy anything because she is just about all he can get.
Especially a woman who shows up to visit her husband at the jail wearing hot pants or whatever you call them these days. JMO
That really punches my button.
alethea, she sure was trying to get her digs in at Tommy wasn’t she, LOL. Good for her, shows a little spunk.
Spunk??? Sureley, you mean an atrocious lack of class, don’t you?
Out of everybody on all sides of the family, Tommy is the one that I could see as most likely to be able to kill somebody. He was willing to beat up his own father over drugs. His wive had to take an order of protection out against him on behalf of her and their child. His own wife questioned if it was him regarding Haleigh. She knows him better then anybody.
Oh, alethea, I don’t think “class” could ever be associated with any of the Croslin, Cummings, Sheffield families, LOL.
Shoot, “class” ran the other way when it saw them a mile away.
“Class” was replace with the f bomb
There may have been hope many years ago, I see where if Hank Sr. had not gotten involved with Lisa, there might have been a very, very, slight chance for him to have turned into a decent man. But for some reason Lisa was Hank’s “Delilah”, and we now see the results of that failure.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
their still online, saw them last night..
someone could print them out and mail them to the tomster or hold them up to the visitors monitor.
Is Lindsy older or younger than Tommy? Tommy is 23 and they have an 8 year old son, which means that Tommy was 15 when Austin was born, how old was Lindsy?
remember when cobra went berserk on
simon’s show and said all that about incest?
I would like to know where he got that from..
Well it is getting late here in the Sunshine State, time to hit the hay. Chat with you all tomorrow.
I thought Austin was 7?
Wow, 15 with a kid. Bet that was something else. Kid having a kid.

Hey everyone!!!
I’m thinking that the reason PCSO put tommy in Putnum with Ron is strategic, to try and get either of them talking… or I could be giving them to much credit, I hope not , I hope that they are still running an active investigation to find out what happend to HaLeigh
Hank & Lisa R serial young and there is a chance that something positive could come from this horror of errors. Someone may reach out to Hank & offer him a job. He should be able to get some type of pain management therapy. I have no doubt that he has suffered with pain but has become addicted to the medication to treat it. One of flaws with the medical system is when someone is flagged as an abuser of narcotics. They r always labeled an addict and may suffer greatly when pain is legitimate and medication with held.
Bio-Hazzard- I always wondered if Hank was getting pain medication and it was helping him but his kids or Lisa may have gotten into it so he required more because he couldn’t keep them away from it! Just so sad because Hank seems like the one in this mess that truly wants to work for an homest living!
i think if LE thought putting Tommy and Ron in the same jail would be beneficial i think it will backfire on them. If either boy was gossiping before they will be sure to dummy up if they are in the same jail, even seperated by TC being in PC. I think LE knows better than to try this as a tactic
there is a holiday between here and Tc’s sentencing, maybe there is no significance to moving him now beyond just getting the tranfer done ahead of time.
This is off topic–But I ran across an article that FDLE set up “Operation Painkiller” on June 3, 2010. This drug sting yielded 172 arrests, which 2 were doctors that wrote out hundreds of prescriptions to people for prescription pain meds. The two doctors were charged with two and three counts of drug trafficking of hydrocodone (for hundreds of prescriptions?). These drug sting netted over 20,000 pain pills (over 172 arrests). I was just wondering if any of these people warranted the high bonds and sentencing recommendations that Misty, Ron, Donna, Hope, and Tommy got. The doctors are nothing but dealers with white jackets (as one cop called them). I wonder what will become of these doctors and will they keep their license to practice. It makes me wonder what kind of defense money can buy.
Last night there was a few bloggers from Putnum county said the news papers are not including daily articles on Haleigh. One ladies next door neighbor had no idea of Haleigh’s case. these new high profile cases will pull what little coverage there is away. These families will be able to work with there real names in a month. The publics attention is often short and new cases come along. We need to keep this case followed some one posted sheriff Shoar email address to ask status of case.
we have watched LE at its finest..focusing on a 17 year old and waiting til shes 18 to ENTRAP her! Destroying her family in the process, as well as any hope any of them had. For what?
To save face for BUNGLING the initial investigation? Is this how the “justice” system is supposed to work? LE sets up and frames misty because they have no other viable leads or suspects? The jon benet ramsey parents were villified also but at least they had money to ensure they weren’t FRAMED by LE! They had a fighting chance and were exonerated finally.
The Dr.s make me madder than the addicts! They should be punished! The “DOCTOR” that KILLED (IMO) Michael Jackson (IMO) should be locked away for LIFE !!! IMO As for ANna Nicoles “Doctor” and Heath Ledgers “Docter” and Brittney Murphy’s “Doctor” and Corey Haims “Doctor” They should all be SCRUTINIZED and punished.
Can anyone explain what the complaint date of 12/22/09 represents for on Tommy’s trafficking docket? Is this the date that they started watching Tommy or is this the date that he was arrested or what?

mrms- amen!
OJ–Was Misty 18 during the initial drug sting and what is her birthday (if you know)? I think LE did entrap Misty. I think they called her relentlessly because they knew she would be the weakest link in getting the drug sting done. This is only my opinion and her phone records could prove me wrong. But since all we have his video released and not prior phone contact between the UC and Misty, I would want to see all the contact. How did he go about finding her initially to set this up? I am so baffled by the legalities of it all. You set up an 18 year old to do over 80 years in prison and put her under 1.3 million dollar bond? ALL because you do NOT have the evidence to convict/charge her with the abduction of Haleigh? It hardly seems right to me, but who am I to say anything? JMO
Lillymae- I think that is the date of the offence, the date he dealt drugs with Misty
August trial will be here before we know it.
OJ- I agree but even though jon bennets parents were exhonerated their lives were still ruined, and Patsy ended up dead, its just terrible
Robin- Misty’s Birthday is 12/09/91
This is the Florida Statute specific to th charge today that has a 0 by it.

how would Tommy see them? They weren’t online very long and he has no access to computer in jail.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
their still online, saw them last night..
someone could print them out and mail them to the tomster or hold them up to the visitors monitor.
************************************
Somehow I don’t see Tommy as a man with standards,lol
OJ, I agree for the most part. I don’t believe that she did anything accept withhold info that LE needs. She might not even have done that. She is just a kid. I hardly think putting her in prison for the better part of her life is going to solve anything. I wish if this little girl did know anything she would just come clean with it. The longer she sits behind bars, the less I think that she knows anything unless she is blinded by love or scared to tell what she does know.
Sorry 11:06 serial young ment to say still young …
CathyJo- Tommy standards! lol
off the subject- Jaycee Dugard’s bio dad is suing to be able to get visitation with her!
Thanks Alexandria.

Lillymae- I think that is the date of the offence, the date he dealt drugs with Misty
______________________________________________
But that would be almost a month prior to the arrest.
cat dixon I think she is blinded by love!
Robin-YW!
Lillymae- True, I could be wrong just a guess
Hey CathyJo!!!!!!
Misty was raised in a “dont trust the system” “snitches get stitches” atmosphere. Too she thinks she runs with the “Big Dogs”. She can’t snitch for those reasons, and on top of it she is scared to death of someone(s) IMO
I am sure Lindsey wanted tall,dark and handsome,but she got,tall,dark and stupid! jmo
I agree mrsm!
LillyMae- I do think I remember after reading the incident reports thinking that it was right before Christmas that Tommy and Misty dealt with the UC
imo lindsey was all good with lying and covering for TC until that last LDT TC took. Then LE or his lawyer (cant remember which but she says in a JH conversation)tells her something that he said (or didnt pass) during that LDT that really P***ed her off. Maybe he was with another female that nite, or maybe he left the kids alone to go to the MH for some reason, or maybe he admitted that the alibi she covered him with was false…many possibilities, but something that happened during that mast LDT made her DONE with Tommy boy. Wonder what it was??? JMHO

________________________________________________
You are right chakra7. I was thinking that Tommy was arrested while in the process of the crime. Tommy did say that he was so high when he was arrested that he fell asleep in the police’s car.
I guess that is why I was thinking he was arrested while in the process of committing the crime.
I still wonder what misty meant by “it will hurt two people”. This was in a jail tape.
Makes me think she knows something.
I think ron knows something he aint telling too.
LillyMae- yes, and they were all rounded up on the same day, and they arrested Ron and Misty right after a deal
Jaba – I know its baffling, I think Misty was talking about maybe Joe and Tommy ? because that was right before the story of Jo and Tommy comeing into the MH that night to steal Rons gun
I always wonder why Misty is so foggy on the events of that night , I’m at the point where I think she was not there, or was really asleep, like dead to the world passed out asleep
Cathy Jo
So they moved Tommy with Ron? I think we are going to hear some breaking news before to long.
I know people think the Sheffields have Haleigh or whatever. But you know it still doesn’t explain Misty’s lies from the get-go. Washing clothes without detergent. What Haleigh was wearing. There is just so many lies. They are all liars. I hope lil Miss Haleigh is found soon. Her family needs some kind of closure.
now really..are those major LIES?
or confusion mixed with panic?
Who cares if misty got up to pee or to get a drink of water? its all the same, a mixed up INTERROGATED teenager saying she WOKE UP AND HALEIGH WAS GONE! thats it!
everything after was coherced by LE with their torture like pressure tactics..
LE will not believe the truth so to escape the pain misty says what her interrogators want to hear..”man in black, put up with knife” and such nonsense. LE’s tactics have squeezed out the red herrings in this case..the blundering idiots!
robin said,in June 24th, 2010 at 11:42 pm OJ–Was Misty 18 during the initial drug sting and what is her birthday (if you know)? I think LE did entrap Misty. I think they called her relentlessly because they knew she would be the weakest link in getting the drug sting done. This is only my opinion and her phone records could prove me wrong. But since all we have his video released and not prior phone contact between the UC and Misty, I would want to see all the contact. How did he go about finding her initially to set this up? I am so baffled by the legalities of it all. You set up an 18 year old to do over 80 years in prison and put her under 1.3 million dollar bond? ALL because you do NOT have the evidence to convict/charge her with the abduction of Haleigh? It hardly seems right to me, but who am I to say anything? JMO
——————————
I totally agree.
Jaba,that’s been my question forever.. WHO are the two people??
also, for those that continue to defend Misty… yes, she was raised by wolves. no doubt.. BUT don’t be a lil punk and illegally sell prescription drugs. You are breaking the law… this is not rocket science. She completely made a choice that was ILLEGAL.. After all the trouble she has been in, get a clue and do anything to break the criminal cycle. Yet again, she made a stupid choice and now look…
IF she would have begged for help 3 months ago, she could have received it. Even being indigent, she could have gotten help through a non-profit mental health agency. People can change IF the want to.
CathyJo- I sent you two e-mails, one on a drug bust about an hour from where I live. The second a LE report that lists a “Kelly” as a suspect along with Misty. Who is Kelly and why was she arrested with the rest of them?
Tommy’s booking information at best, is confusing. I don’t understand why they transferred him. An inmate usually isn’t transferred out until he/she has actually been sentenced. Tommy has only pled to the charges in St John’s County not yet been sentenced. This whole case has been too weird. I know I won’t read too much into especially the way that LE has handled this mess.
Tommy’s booking information should not show a bond satisfied, I’m sure that’s not what happened, it should show a case disposition as sentenced.
This is a prime example of how inmates get wrongfully released. IMO
Morning, Everyone!
Hi, stilllucy! We know LE will bargain for info – like lower T’s bail far enough that he could get out for telling them he was at the MH that night (whether it’s true or not), we now have to look at everything LE does with that in mind. Is the move to PC a reward for providing info (true or not) that would enable LE to call this a homicide (info leading to river search)? Or is this a punishment for giving them info that didn’t pan out? I’m in favor of the first choice myself.
Alex If I remember correct “Kelly” is Nay Nay’ little sister.
s/b why wasn’t she arrested wiyh the rest of them?
m2c: It’s impossible to try to figure out what PC’s intentions are. Who in the world in Tommy’s circle is financially capable of posting any kind of bond? It seems as though Leonard Padilla has washed his hands of this but who knows for sure? The fact that PC has been so hush about this makes it impossible to figurs out their next move. And, that might not be a bad thing. It’s all just so weird.
IMO
tm39- Misty is suspect #1, Kelly is suspect #2
her discription is white female, tanned, black straight hair,medium length.
Someone here made a comment about Hardy may not have wanted any more tapes released with Tommy but, it’s only entertainment at this point. None of us believe a word that Tommy or Misty say. It’s all out of my realm of comprehension these days. IMO
I could be wrong…. Nay Nay is a redhead,but, they could be step sisters. Guess I need to double check that.
IMO Nay Nay is some how involved.
Robin your post on 6/24/2010 @ 11:23pm. That sting covered four counties in the Orlando area. Those docs will not be praticing any longer. We have not yet heard on how long these people will be getting and how much the bonds were. I watched the press release The person speaking told all the drugies” If your doing or selling drugs get ready we are coming for you”.
stilllucy – I agree about LE but to clarify I was referring way back to when LE reduced T’s bail on the gun charge in exchange (it seems) for the info that he was at the MH. I didn’t mean to imply that bail was a factor here. Just being transferred closer to his parents may have been a favor for him – or a punishment! Just speculating on LE’s motives and thinking – which is all we’ve ever been able to do with this case.
m2c: Gotcha. My comprehension must be suffering more than I thought! LOL
Have a great day, gotta run.
Justice for HaLeigh and for Zach and his family.
I agree that it doesn’t matter if Misty woke up to pee or drink.
Misty was foggy on the events of that night because she was possibly high or drinking. She may of been slipped a date rate drug. Who knows. I think she was passed out that night.
KY Mom, the sheffields or their clan could very well have Haliegh. Does not have a connection to any lies told by Misty, etc. Misty may come across as lying about somethings, but I think things are distorted due to drugs and messes up her memory. The things she told may also be connected to hiding drugs or drug use, etc and not connected to Haleigh.
The media and LE like to put a spin on everything. The washing clothes without detergent hasn’t been confirmed…Ive heard that dirty clothes were put in the dryer, etc.
Also, what Haleigh was wearing….the pink shirt was what she said she was wearing, because that was what she remembered her having on that day. It got dirty and reportedly tossed behind one of the doors in a dirty clothes pile. Again, distorted thinking or Misty was just plain traumatized by the events of that night. Then pressured by LE to answer questions, all the time being blamed by Ron for letting someone steal his child, and feeling overwhelming guilt over Haleigh being gone under her watch! That is a lot for a 17 y/o, especially one with a 6th grade education, drug abuse history, possibly hung over, and whatever else. I don’t know how any of us would function in that situation, much less how Misty has. She has held strong though, and I don’t think she has some superior capability to fool the police and fbi, etc.
Ive heard of LE forcing people or tricking them by saying, “What do you think happened to Haleigh?” You give them a theory or a thought and they go with it! Then the media says that you said something as fact when you didn’t. Example: the alligators eating Haleigh…good grief.
Does anyone remember which of the grandma’s said, Things aren’t always what they seem or appear to be?
stilllucy, it’s too early in the morning and I need to try to write more clearly! Off for another cup of coffee. Have a great day!
Alex, I don’t know what case you are referring to. Can you give us a short description if it’s not possible to post a web site we can go to read it?
TIA.
JenM – I totally agree. There are too many possible explanations for M that night and later for me to decide any or all comments definitely indicate guilt or guilty knowledge. jmo
m2 I’m sorry I have RA so type with a pencil device in my mouth. So can’t copy & paste. CathyJo is kind to do that for me.
But if you go to First Coast News
Arrest Reports Released in Cummings Croslin Arrests, in the middle of the article it says Read Arrest Reports, on the third report is the one with Kelly listed as Suspect #2 on the bottom of page one.
If you do a search for “Nay Nay writes second letter to her mom” there is a youtube video of Nay Nay’s sister Kelly reading the letter Nay Nay wrote to her mom. It was posted on youtube by DotiBump.
Kelly has dark hair not red like Nay Nay’s hair.
LOL, if you think about this in the big picture, look at how confused we are as to what happened. Can you imagine how Misty must be going back and forth in her mind? LOL.
I remember giving a freind a ride home one evening because he was “high on shrooms’. I was driving his car. A huge rock had fell in the road (we were in the mountains). As I went around the curve to the left, it went under the car and busted 2 tires immediately. Anyway, point being, when I told his parents how it happened, he totally disputed it and said that it was on a different curve and that I was making a right turn. Now, why that would matter, I don’t know, but he was dead set on convincing his parents that he was fully aware of what was happening and what he did. He told them it was my fault as I wasn’t watching where I was going, etc. Of course, I couldn’t tell them he was high on drugs and that his thinking was distorted (although I wanted to).
But his lies were solely to make himself feel better and not feel guilt for what happened. He was feeling guilty about doing drugs, embarrassed to have someone else drive him home, angry about his lack of self control and inability to know realistically what happened. To this day, his parents think Im a liar. Needless to say, I don’t associate anymore with these people.
However, it reminds me of Misty and Tommy. Only she told how f’d up he was that night. He tries to make out like he had nothing to do with anything. In his jail house tapes he tries to convince Lyndsy that he “knows exactly what he is doing when he is high”. Those were his words. Now why would he feel the need to offer that information? He has tried to blame it on everyone but himself. He tried to blame it on Joe too, but that hasn’t worked yet. He has even said to Misty, tell the truth Misty, blah blah blah. I think Hank and Lisa were convinced at first that Tommy didn’t have anything to do with it (remember the jail tapes and interviews). Now, I think they have backed off of that stance.
We shall see.
After Tommy’s plea on the drug charge he was finger printed. Perhaps Putnam County had another B&E with only a palm print which they took from Tommy and charged him with that yesterday.
In a way yes, the drug charges came about because of the Haleigh investigation. LE was investigating Ron, Misty and Tommy in the Haleigh case, during this investigation they either saw or was told that R, M, T & company were dealing drugs. So they set up a sting for this separate very serious crime. Should they have just ignored this crime? Should they have let R, M, T & company continue dealing drugs? Should they have waited and watched them in hope of finding something out about Haleigh while R, M, T & company were still dealing drugs? If they had done nothing, ignored the very serious crime R, M, T & company were committing and they sold drugs to a 13 year old child who then overdosed and died from the drugs that R, M, T & company sold them, there would have then been another dead child at the hands of R, M, T & company. Would we then be blaming LE for the death of this child because they had knowledge that R, M, T & company were dealing drugs and did nothing to stop them?

Thank you, Alex! That’s fine. All we need is the web site (like First Coast News or wftv) and a date or title and we can find it! Thanks so much!
Even when someone does copy and paste all or part of an article that info should be included (for credit and also so people can go see it for themselves) so you’re on top of it!
someone said it meant law enforcement officer…I’m not sure if that is correct though
JenM Someone said it means Law Enforcement Officer Semi Trailer.
m2c- YW
Yeah, someone also said it meant a semi automatic that belonged to a Law Enforcement officer.
It would be great to know what it Really means.
I couldn’t find it anywhere on the internet.
JenM @ 9 am – ROFLMAO at what T said to L: that he “knows exactly what he is doing when he is high”.
That’s exactly the problem! People THINK they know what they’re doing when they’re high and really stupid people who have no intention of stopping taking drugs THINK the same thing.
Whenever T gets out he’ll head straight for the drugs again I’m sure. What a MORON.
Good morning Everyone!
Alex, you type that well with a pencil in your mouth? WOW, I am totally impressed!!
M2c, I agree with you that Tommy will head for the drugs again.
Your statement takes me back to the VLA video. Misty says that her life has always been bad and does not look like it is going to get any better. This wass in August 2009. Misty got robbed buying drugs after that and then caught and incarcerated for trafficking.
Misty knew she had to make different choices and chose not to. This is why she is where she is now.jmo
JenM- go up and read JB @ 6/24/10 3:49pm Read the LadySadie part (2)(a) 1. I think that’s where it came from!
Cate- but it makes it really slow & sometines I leave out a letter or a word I think I wrote. Then sometimes between what I’m responding to & where I end up posting many others have responded. Sometimes I think whoa, they are going to thinkI’m nuts because that was answered already but you guys don’t know that I was still typing and didn’t read it!
Morning all. JMHO=
Does anyone know what the statute of limitation is in Putnum County on Tommy and Ron getting close to their breaking point?? I think chaos will be enough for the ‘good cop -bad cop- plan to kick it up a notch.
I am a new-be, have nothing but respect and love for anyone who can honestly care about someone else’s child. TY.
Back to Haleigh. I posted before that the case was quiet for a reason (unknown) to us. The power of prayer is beyond your’dreams. Not OUR belief. May God Bless us All.

Another form of abuse! jmo
As I’ve said many times before I’m still open to most possibilities. M, R, T, JO, T, G/S and even SO.
Sometimes people lie to cover up something else. So a lie might not have anything to do with Haleigh. Like maybe M lied to cover for being out that night or being high or some other reason. So I can’t decide guilt because someone lied. That makes it really hard! Just complicating things for myself I guess. lol!
The Kelly in the incident report is a juvie so thats why we dont see her on any dockets or booking list. jmo

6 pm or somewhere along the line he thinks ahhhh hell I am gone to prison anyway,So after he calls all over hello he finds someone who just might bring it to him he smokes a joint,8pm,ahhhh hell,I need some painkillers,so he begs his dad and mom or whoever to get him some and takes him a few and he thinks about how Lindsey has treated him in jail and goes off on her,accusing and being 15 ft tall and bullet proof he’s in a drunken rage and by 9pm Here come da blue lights!
Story over!
m2c- I agree with you that the lies may be about something else but now all of them are under suspicion for Haleigh’s disappearance and possible death that you’d think they would come clean about it.

RE: KELLY!
Misty Croslin Got Robbed!
January 28, 2010 in John H. Gohde | Tags: Casey Anthony, Hope Sykes, Misty Croslin, Misty Cummings, Orlando, PCSO, Putnam County, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, Ronald Cummings, Satsuma | by John H. Gohde
Reading the six incident reports that were released by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) reveals some interesting information about the method of operation of the Satsuma 4 Plus 1 prescription drug gang.
In all of the drug stings, an under cover officer first had to leave Misty Croslin a message on her cell phone to call him back.
Every member of the Satsuma 4 Plus 1 prescription drug gang made the fatal decision to consummate the drug transactions inside the under cover agent’s automobile. Most of the time, they actually chose to ride along with the officer inside the very car that LE had rigged up with both audio and video recording equipment. Misty Croslin usually assumed the passive role by sitting in the front passenger seat while the power player, or the person who actually sold the drugs, always sat in the rear passenger seat.
On Tuesday, December 22, 2009 at approximately 2:30 pm the famous McDonalds restaurant incident at 2627 Reid St, Palatka, Florida went down.
After the under cover officer met up with Misty and Tommy Croslin who had arrived in their own car, Tommy went to talk to an unidentified man in a Black Chevy Truck, who presumably gave him the drugs. But Tommy, also, had the opportunity to retrieve the pills that could have been hidden in some bushes.
Tommy and Misty entered the under cover agent’s car to complete the sale of 45 oxycodone pills for $750.00 whereupon both Misty and Tommy exited the car. And, drove off in their own automobile.
Then on Tuesday, January 8th, 2010 the next score went down. The under cover agent started working Misty at 2 o’clock in the morning. Misty responded that she was riding with Donna in Brock’s car. The crime duo was coming from Virginia and would be in Brunswick, Georgia at 02:23 am. They were to meet up with the under cover agent at 4 o’clock in the morning with the pills.
Misty Croslin characteristically had loose lips. Misty told the officer that she did not like to use her own cell phone. That Donna needed the money. She also started to freak out because a lot of money and a lot of pills would be involved in this transaction. Further, she did not want to get into trouble. But asked if the nice officer could please drive her back home, afterwards?
The exchange of 155 oxycodone pills for $800.00 took place in front of the Flying J Truck Stop on 950 State Rd 206, Saint Augustine, Florida. Afterward, Donna Brock immediately exited the officer’s car with the money and took off heading south.
Misty Croslin remained in the car while the officer drove the excited little girl home to 116 Tyler St, Satsuma, Florida. Because Misty was so sweet, the officer insisted on giving Misty an extra hundred dollars for brokering the transaction with Brock. Misty told him that he would be able to buy more drugs from Donna in about three months.
Then there were three more related buys that took place in early January. On the 18th of January 2010, Misty Croslin was sufficiently trained, or shall we say dumb enough, to consummate an illegal drug transaction by herself, along with a black haired white female that PCSO has only identified as Kelly. New information indicates that she is a minor and is the sister of Kristina “NayNay” Prevatt. On the first two deals, Hope Sykes, the 18-year-old simply sat in the backseat of the under cover agent’s car and did virtually nothing but receive on the job training.
On Tuesday January 12th at approximately 10 pm Misty returns the under cover’s agent’s phone call and informs him that she had been robbed of the $100 that he had given her for brokering their last transaction. This was an unreported robbery. Apparently, Misty Croslin had wised up enough not to call 911 every time she gets robbed. Nevertheless, Misty still did not possess enough smarts to buy enough minutes for her cell phone. Seems that LE had offered to buy her minutes that night.
The officer originally requested 30 pills. But Misty and Ronald were a little short and only offered the agent 9 pills. LE was instructed to drive to 2nd Avenue, Welaka, Florida. The three clowns (Misty, Ronald, and Hope) arrived on foot with the 9 Hydrocodone pills, which were sold to LE by Ron for $65.00. The gang of three then promptly took off again on foot.
Being short on the pills, LE once again called Misty on the following day at around 4 pm. Misty returned their call and said that she had 25 pills to offer at $7.00 a piece. Ronald Cummings in the background chipped in that he did not want any more mix-ups, which apparently was in reference to the crime trio having had to take off on foot, yesterday. Perhaps, that was how Misty managed to have gotten robbed a few days ago?
Right Lady,I just wondered why we never saw the tapes??
CathyJo @ 10:02- totally agree Misty is protecting Ron. jmo
In all of the drug stings, an under cover officer first had to leave Misty Croslin a message on her cell phone to call him back.
I did acid way back in the day like 30 some years ago, all it does is make everything funny. Could be bad if someone got hurt cause youd just laugh about it. I have never seen anyone get violent on it. I am now an old lady who doesnt even drink. lol jmo

In all of the drug stings, an under cover officer first had to leave Misty Croslin a message on her cell phone to call him back.
———-
And she called him back, she didn’t have to, she made the decision to call him back and deal drugs with him. Therefore she is guilty of trafficking drugs.
Misty Croslin characteristically had loose lips. Misty told the officer that she did not like to use her own cell phone. That Donna needed the money. She also started to freak out because a lot of money and a lot of pills would be involved in this transaction. Further, she did not want to get into trouble. But asked if the nice officer could please drive her back home, afterwards?
*****************************************
OfCourse not Jaba,lol
sure she is,Lady!
We saw it but she was a minor,same as Kelly? jmo
I very much think so Alex! jmo tho!
Then there were three more related buys that took place in early January. On the 18th of January 2010, Misty Croslin was sufficiently trained, or shall we
>>>>>>say dumb enough, <<<<<<
(Le knew she was dumb enough and a minor,jmo)
to consummate an illegal drug transaction by herself, along with a black haired white female that PCSO has only identified as Kelly. New information indicates that she is a minor and is the sister of Kristina “NayNay” Prevatt. On the first two deals, Hope Sykes, the 18-year-old simply sat in the backseat of the under cover agent’s car and did virtually nothing but receive on the job training.
They point out Kellys a minor,hmmm funny,i don’t see the statement relating to Misty! JMO
CathyJo- if Kelly was in the uc car with Misty, why can’t they just block out her face and release the video?
So just from the incidents where they told us about the number of drugs being trafficked (including the last bust where they were buying 200 pills from an UC) we have 434 pills, that does not include some of the incidents where the newspaper did not give a number amount of pills exchanged.
If Ron, Misty, Tommy & company did not sell these to UC (thereby getting the pills off the streets) then they would have sold them to someone else. Again what if that someone else had been a 13 year old child that overdosed and died from these pills? LE very realistically may have saved someone’s life by busting R, M, T & company.
Cathy, Misty was not a minor, she was 18 at the time. Hope was 19 at the time too.jmo
CathyJo, Misty was
JMO,but Ron should have been more accountable that to be offered a plea,he was jr’s dad,the same dad of Haleigh…..risks him too? jmo
Oops, hit return too soon.
Misty was NOT a minor when any of these drug transactions took place. She had ready turned 18, thereby a legal adult.
She wasn’t when they set up the sting,they arrested her at 18,unless I’ve been lied too,lol
Misty turned 18 on 12/9/2009
If she was 18,I’ll never say another word about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True, we also dont know if they were selling and/or buying from/for someone other than the UC. Who knows whatthey were up to? Tommys sideline was BE, Misty got robbed so she was up to other things too. jmo
Misty’s birthdate is 12/9/1991, she had turned 18 BEFORE the first sting. She was a legal adult and responsible for her own actions.
Because it was only a few days after her 18th bday that she was arrested unless i have bee in a coma and thats possible,lol
First deal was on Dec. 22, 2010. Misty is at least smart enough to know she is no longer a juvie in the eyes of the law. jmo
CathyJo, she was arrested on 1/21/2010, a month and a half after she turned 18.
tobias, Peggy Cone said that Ron was seen frequenting drug houses? Who did she say that to and when? The only thing that I ever heard/read that was said was by KP and she stated it was not Ron that was seen going to Jerome’s house it was TC.
Would love to read where you read Peggy Cone made that statement.
CathyJo- It would be interesting to see the date they first started planning the sting, it could have been before Misty turned 18.
LadySadie, I understand what you’re saying but using the same logic, LE endangered children the first time they gave these people pills to sell and let them go and/or the first time they bought pills from them and let them go. LE deliberately let these people go in order to catch more of them and to catch them with more drugs so the bond and sentences would be greater. LE does that every day everywhere. They KNOW about low level dealers, bust them occasionally, let them deal and use them as snitches etc AND give them the dope to do it with.
This sting was orchestrated each step of the way by LE and it was LE who gave them 200 pills – did you see how surprised R was when he heard that?
So it works both ways IMO.
Don’t know what if anything can be done about it other than LE arresting every dope dealer the very first time they catch them. But that’s the way it is.
And to go out on a limb here, I really don’t think any of these people are cold or bad enough to sell directly to children. I really don’t. They’ve all got enough friends around their own age and older to deal to. They just aren’t stone cold street dealers who hang around school yards to get kids hooked on it. None of them. They’re just not like that IMO.
I know she was arrested at 18…But was with the UC at 17? but I am saying the first buy??????????? or sale?????????????
Now if she was 18 yea that changes my opinion somewhat as far as drugs but i still say she is protecting ron and tn….jmo
Deals with the UC ran from Dec. 22,2010- Jan. 21, 2010. jmo
I am certain it was Alex,my god if i have been in a fantasy land this long,i been on da werong side but no,I am sure she was 17 when they made the deals because she was arrested only after she was not a minor?? thats been my dog in the fight??
I tend to agree CathyJo that the planning was done before she turned 18 but they waited until after she turned 18 to put the plan in action!
Sorry, Cathy if I had known I would have told ya a long time ago. Misty turned 18 on Dec. 9,2009 the first deal was on Dec. 22, 2009 and the last was on Jan 21 2010.jmo
exactly,because i know she was 17 when they said she had got robbed??
That was known too!
and when they received the tip which led to the UC sting!
CathyJo, Misty was already 18 at the time of the first UC deal. She was not “with the UC at 17″. Misty turned 18 on December 9 and the first UC deal was on December 22. Misty had been 18 for 23 days, I’m pretty sure she knew she was 18 on 12/9, I know she has a problem with math but would bet she knew when she turned 18.
we know they were watching when she got robbed,it was in the report?
Even if they started planning the sting before Misty turned 18 but did not put the plan into action until after she turned 18, SHE STILL MADE THE DECISION to deal drugs. She knew she was no longer a juvenile and if caught would be sentenced as an adult.
Maybe according to the paperwork now,lol not in reality,she was 17 when she got robbed and they received the tip?? so i just don’t buy it,but have too if its from pcso! jmo
Misty made the decision to deal drugs, if she wanted to get her life straight and really wanted to be a upstanding citizen, it does not matter how many times someone called her asking for drugs, she had the choice to say NO. She choose to say YES.
Misty gave them the tip by calling 911 when she was robbed, her girlfriend told LE right then that they were there to buy drugs. But since they had no drugs on them LE could do nothing. jmo
I know that Lady,never said that,I am not defending that part,sure she knew!!!!!!!!!!
but they wanted her in jail and they set out to get it and did it anyway they could,even though Misty said repeatedly she knew nothing,they only focused on her,if Misty were my daughter or yours then it would be a little different i think,jmo
Tobias,thats been my fighting dog,lol hell why am i gonna protect someone of age,helllll no!
but imo it was entrapment regardless!
Adult crime = Adult time.
Le called her and she responded, over and over.
I DON’T SEE ENTRAPMENT at all.
I see misty being found Guilty at trial if she goes that far.
Imo
It doesn’t matter what happened before Misty turned 18, of her own free will she made the decision to deal in drugs after she turned 18 and became responsible for her own actions. She knew she was being watched by LE because of Haleigh’s case, and still decided to deal in drugs.
m2c said,in June 25th, 2010 at 10:30 am
I agree,bottom line!
yes,ahe and ron,tommy and donna Lady!
It is not entrapment if LE had information that Misty was already dealing in drugs. It is not entrapment if she was not coerced into doing something she would have normally not done.
I didn’t think you would Jaba,lol I know ya,but you cannot tell me if it weren’t for Haleigh..they’d have done this!
B/c its not true!
If they had no evidence directly,then they should have looked elsewhere,so now,if Haleigh was killed after they were in Jail?
What??
B/c they focused on them Haleighs killer gets away and if you feel good about that,go for it but I DON’t! jmo
Theres drugdealers living next door to us!!!!!
I rest my case there Lady!
But i wanna see someone go down for HALEIGH,not a pill!! jmo
Misty (and Ron, Tommy, Hope and Donna) was already involved with drugs before the UC sting, it is reasonable to expect that Misty (and all the others) would STILL be involved with drugs if the UC sting had never taken place – therefore NO entrapment.
jaba said,in June 25th, 2010 at 10:43 am Adult crime = Adult time.
***********************
Jaba,see but before you asked me and OJ to prove to you that LE called her,now you know they did,right?
b/c then you said you might could see it as entrapment then?
By arresting them they may have done them a favor, Ron was reported to put guns in his mouth, Tommy was blacking out at bus stops, and Misty was all over the place and getting mugged at gun point buying drugs. How long do you think each of them could stay alive? They were all high risk peole involved in the drug trade and have a connection to Haleighs case. jmo
Alexandria, I think I read that the sting took a month of planning.
CathyJo, they should go down for both. Just because LE doesn’t have the evidence needed to charge them in one crime doesn’t mean they should be given a free pass on all other crimes they commit.
exactly,Lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My point is,wth cares that they go down for drugs when it should be for Haleigh,now we hear she may have been killed after,that don’t upset you? it does me! jmo
did I say that Lady? no!
I feel good about 5 dealers being punished for the crimes they plead to, or are convicted of by a trial.
She was 18 during the whole thing? Wow, didn’t know that.
Glad I know now.
m2c- TY- that would mean the plan started before Misty turned 18.
If they get 100 yrs it ought to be for Haleigh,sure they havem in jail but easier to get out with less time,I am not proud of that!
The planning of the sting does not matter, all they had to do is say NO and there would not have been a sting.
Well,I am glad you do Jaba!
Lady,the point is,how do we know they did both,Kinda impossible if it happened after they were in jail?
Allz I know is we could go on for months like this,and if yall can rest knowing it went down this way but that no one will ever pay for a 5 yr old’s life then thats fine but i know it sure don’t make me feel better!
Where is the idea that Haleigh was killed after the drug sting coming from? I dont see any proof that it happened, heck we arent even sure she is dead for a fact. jmo
Exactly right Tobias,exactly but keep looking for Haleigh!
I dunno Tobias,lol I read it here yesterday!
I asked you about it,lol
If there was no other way to prove positive in court that one or all of them are guilty of Haleigh, but enough to convince LE. I could go along with it rather than see them walk like OJ for killing Ron Goldman and Nichole Simpson. jmo
no we don’t Tobias,Thats why some ppl need to be looked at that haven’t been?
It was the wording in the article that threw people off.
Jan made a comment about what she meant.
I actually have no problem separating the two cases. We do not know for sure Misty, Ron or Tommy’s involvement in Haleigh’s case, that case is STILL being investigated. They were CAUGHT committing a different crime, they are being tried and sentenced for the crime they were CAUGHT committing. If Misty, Ron or Tommy had any involvement in Haleigh’s case should they have been allowed to continue committing other crimes for months or years until LE could prove their involvement in Haleigh’s case?
All i want is to find about Haleigh,after 2 yrs not one step closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dealers and users everyday,I could care less until Haleigh gets Justice!
Does Haleigh deserve never to be given justice?
Oh ok,yesssss lets get them in jail for drugs and to heck with Haleighs memory,her life,and the truth,the truth will never be known!they’re gone on drugs so thats good enough!
So CathyJo, all dealers and users should be left alone until Haleigh’s case is solved? All crimes should not be investigated until Haleigh’s case is solved?
CathyJo @ 10:41 am- I agree. Especially if the UC had call her repeatedly to get her to agree to it.
I mean come on! I know it’s all legal and she did a stupid thing and committed a crime BUT considering everything it’s really not something LE should be proud of IMO.
And CathyJo @ 10:48 I agree.
Alexandria @ 9:56 – But what if whatever they’re lying about does not eliminate them from suspicion of involvement? What if they don’t know anything about what happened to Haleigh? So what if M says she left the MH that night? What then? LE should have been looking at “what then” ALL of this time! It can be very hard to prove you’re innocent.
We dont know if certain people havent been looked at, just because they didnt go to the media or get into trouble doesnt mean that LE hasnt questioned and etc. those that everyone thinks are getting a pass. LE hasnt told us what they have on anyone. For all we know every person who the Sheffields have known have been checked into. Just because LE hasnt made a statement about it doesnt mean they havent followed up on investigating the other side. jmo
That BS lady!
All werent involved,only the satuma 5!!!!!!
They don’t believe Haleigh was killed after the river search. We misunerstood the article. All we know is that they believe it to be a homicide but we have no idea what evidence made them decide that.
Personally I don’t believe they’d base that assumption on anything Tommy or Misty said. I believe they would have some sort of evidence before making a profound declaration that the case is now considered a homicide….JMO

Thanks M2,and Alex,thats the point what if??????
:adySadie @ 11:07 am – We’re not talking about all drug dealers. We’re talking about people close to Haleigh’s case.
LE COULD have taken M aside and said, “Look, we know you’re into drugs and you better stop it because we WILL lock you up and you’re easier to catch than you think.” But they didn’t. Not because she’s a freakin’ South American drug king who will bring down the Florida drug trade. But because she’s involved in Haleigh’s case (resonsible or not) and it suited LE’s purposes to get her locked up and pressure her.
I think anybody that has read any of the court docs or arrest logs over the past 16 months out of Putnam county is well aware that PCSO does crap about small time drug dealing. The sting was for one reason and one reason only and that was to get Misty behind bars. Misty just happened to bring the other players into the sting but as far as I can tell the UC DID NOT contact anybody except Misty. Now some people might buy what PCSO is selling but I’m not and I think when all the docs are released we are going to see first hand just how focused PCSO was on getting Misty behind bars.
well JB,I did wonder,lol stupid thought but i said i read it and nobody replied so maybe thats why,lol never said i was the sharpest knife in the drawer,rofl
Thank You Whylie,A voice of reason!
Haleigh’s case is still being investigated, all of us here will continue to question and contact LE regarding Haleigh’s case even with Ron, Misty, Tommy & company in prison for crimes they were CAUGHT committing. They are being punished for crimes they were CAUGHT committing. If they were involved with Haleigh’s disappearance and or murder LE is continuing that investigation and when they have evidence to charge them with that crime they will still be able to charge them even if they are in prison for a different crime.
tobias said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:08
They have only destroyed Hank and Lisa lives!
We all know they were innocent! jmo
She has call blocker. She could threaten to call LE. She could send his calls to voice mail. Heck she could do what she did that night, turn off her phone. Misty wanted and needed money and drugs, thats why she did it and she in my opinion was doing it the weekend before all this happened. They all were not newbies to the drug dealing. jmo
JB @ 11:09 – I’ll go back and look but from the articles I read that were written at the time of the river search it sounded like LE DID tell the families they thought Haleigh might be dead BEFORE they searched the river. They didn’t want the family finding out thru the media when they conducted the river search.
And that is why they searched the river, hoping to find proof. I believe what prompted the river search was what someone told them – probably T, I don’t know. But it was a bust. No proof.
So all other drug dealers should be investigated and punished, just not the “Satsuma 5″?
No they weren’t tobias,but how many times did ron get away with it?? they knew he did,found drugs on him if theeyre so worried about that problem? jmo
You’re the one who said that lady,not me?
LadySadie said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:07 am So CathyJo, all dealers and users should be left alone until Haleigh’s case is solved? All crimes should not be investigated until Haleigh’s case is solved?
lol just stop,I ain’t gonna argue my point forever,just enough so I know I am defending Haleigh!
That was a question to you CathyJo, not a statement on my part.
CathyJo, after Misty got robbed she left and went to Tenn for 10 days. Misty returned to Satsuma and dropped the restraining order against Tommy. Tommy and Hank Sr. got into that fight and that is when we found out that Misty and Kristina Prevatt were present at Tyler street. After that Misty went and started staying with Charles Jones jr. and his family. Misty was there until after her birthday. It was even stated that Kristina was there with Misty sometimes. After Misty turned 18th birthday Misty and Ron started seeing each other again. It was reported by a blogger named Hope that Ronald was calling Charles Jones and threatening him. Another blogger told this Hope that they were sorry for calling her a troll; that she must be Hope Sykes. Ablogger heard on the scanner around Dec. 20th that Charles Jones called LE because Ron was making threats again. I believe it had to be Charles Jones Jr. that told LE about Ron and Misty selling. I believe that is what started the motivation for the sting. Misty was not a minor when LE began orchestrating their plan.
The three players can still be questioned and if they know anything, they can talk. Today, next week, 1 year, 5 yrs, 15 yrs, 25 yrs…however long it takes.
I agree that they would have been involved in crimes, and caught, and punished, EVEN if no sting was tried.
Like the top suspect in peoples minds, ronbo. ronbo wasn’t going anywhere but jail witht the road he was on. Same with mc and tc.
At least ron can’t put JR in harms way anymore. Hope he will be a good guy when he grows up.
Mc, tc , rc and hs are all ‘safer’ now.
Maybe they ‘grow up’ and be decent folks when they get out. Who knows?
If tommy is out in 3 or 4, I predict he gets arrested in the first year out.
LadySadie said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Not if theyre only looking at them Lady? I quit,you know very well what i mean!
I ain’t gonna argue !
And you heard my answer Lady?
Jr not in harms way,you believe that too Jaba? He’s worse imo
not worse,lemme rephrase.just as bad! imo
Sorry but Hank was caught doctor shopping and Lisa was caught with stolen checks and stealing a purse. And they have records of similar offenses before Haleigh went missing. In flagler. We cant see what else they have done because they were in other states before this and sunshine laws arent there.
Misty and Tommy have put their parents through this also. I do feel for them in the Haleigh case but they should have behaved themselves and they would not be the focus for alot of the problems they have.jmo
OK Looking,sounds plausible! lol ty
but they would not have Tobias?? come on??
only was Hank arrested too b/c Haleigh went missing,pressure on the family,unfair!
All I am saying about the drug sting, which is evidently legal, is Misty going to receive a fair trial? And in my mind that is an unequivocal NO. Her name and her words on the jailhouse tapes and videos have basically sealed her fate. I blame LE (yes that SunShine Law) for releasing those before her constitutional right to a fair trial was even considered. For 80+ years and 1.3 million dollar bond? And if LE was worried about these pain pills getting into the hands of a 13 year old child (or anyone else for that matter) they would have arrested them after the brokering of the first transaction, not the eighth one later. It is apparent WHO they were going after and WHY. Legal as it may be doesn’t change the fact that Misty was barely of legal age and now will have to spend countless years behind bars for some penny ante drug deals at the ripe old age of 18. And with her sentence there will probably be a zero chance of finding Haleigh. And I am a firm believer if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime–but most murderers get away with less than this sentence or bond. When all is said and done with the drug trials and sentencing is complete, I do hope a fresh set of eyes looks into the Haleigh investigation and maybe one day that child will receive HER JUSTICE and the family that loves her will receive peace. That’s the LEAST LE can do for them! JMO
yes Jaba,the 3 players who deny anthing now,lol jmo
Did Hank Sr. commit the crime he was arrested for?
CathyJo if Crystal gets the proper help she can recover from the drug addictions. This is what I pray for her. Therefore, then little Jr. is definitely in a better enviroment.
TY Robin,I am living proof of that!
6 months,maybe i should got my husbands murderer on drug charges?
tobias once again, where did you get your info? Hank Sr has no record in Flagler county and Lisa only has a disorderly intoxication charge in Flagler county.
Looking,I agree,IF she does!
If people (anyone) didn’t commit crimes they wouldn’t have to be worried about being arrested.
thats a clique society teaches us,what does that mean Lady,Have you ever even told a little white fib,sure you have so you should be in jail for that??
Tobias & CathyJo- Yesterday a few of the bloggers misunderstood what Jan Barrett had said in the article so she reworded it! They had thought she meant that Haleigh was killed after the search! See Jan Barrett @ June 24- 3:02pm
We can only pray that Crystal gets the help she needs for her drug addiction and provides a better life for Jr and Chloe. If she doesn’t then we can only pray that DCF does their job and removes those children from the dangerous environment. What we do know is that Ron continued to not only take drugs while he had custody of Jr but he also was trafficking drugs while he had custody of Jr, placing Jr in an even more dangerous environment.
If someone you know died and just b/c you once told a fib then you deserve jail? jmo
right Alex,I wondered,cause i read it but then asked and notta word,lol ty
Haven’t ever seen a criminal statute for telling a little white fib, so don’t think I have to worry about going to jail for that.
LadieSadie , I agree.
I realize Hank and Lisa lives have been turned upside down. Misty is the one who told about her parents being drug addicts while growing up and her life being so terrible. Misty threw her parents into the spotlight. Hank and Lisa should have refrained from doctor shopping and stealing purses and checks. These crimes were committed after August 2009 when Misty threw them out there. I do have sympathy for them, but they have caused some of this themselves.jmo
morning ladies…
I see the piling on has begun early today.
LE did not receive a “tip” the 5 were dealing..
that is misdirection put out by LE to obscure the real reason for the sting, to set up and entrap misty. Planned for months I’m thinking..
no way LE wants misty to go to trial where LE dirty unlawful tricks will be revealed. If misty lives long enuf to see trial she will WALK!
Exactly right Lady and uproot him again,they should have made certain she was clean,she failed a drug test after she got custody,but still…..she has custody?
Was the little white fib I told the cause of person I know dying?
Thats my point Lady,hank shouldn’t b/c someone else did something either?
I agree CathyJo, Jr (and Chloe) should have been put into foster care until DCF was sure that Crystal was clean.
You are right. Differing points of view and tolerance for crime associated with Haleigh.
Sad fact is, the faux fab five will spend 15-25 for their crimes while Haleighs disappearance is investigated.
Hopefull a second set of eyes comes to look at the case soon. They’ll know where to find tc, mc and rc for questioning.

—————
Sorry, missing the question here? Hank shouldn’t what?
I am sorry if I have been rude and was scrolling and I think i was,Truly sorry but i am fed up with no justice for Haleigh!
Its a double standard…..because,ok…this man who murdered my husband in cold blood,If we had brought up his drug history there was a huge chance he’d get off for being under the influence when the crime occurred,ok? even less charges,
so we didn’t bring it up and guess what,6 months and he walked for cold blooded murder!
I think it would affect anyone the way it has me,Its unfair!
We cannot blame Hank Sr. or Lisa Croslin for Mistys mistakes. Those she has done on her own. It is Mistys who brought all the dirty laundry out into the world about her parents and childhood; looking for sympathy for herself no doubt. Hank Sr. and Lisa Croslin should have not got into trouble committing crimes themselves and they would not be so exposed.jmo
Now Lady,common ground,Thank You God!!!!!!!!!! lol was getting old,lol
Right,I agree there too Looking but They added pressure to Misty was my point by getting her parents! jmo
jaba 11:37 am – You said, “while Haleighs disappearance is investigated.”
–
That’s what I’m afraid will not happen. LE has focused on M and then T exclusively it seems. With them locked up, it’s the end of the road for the investigation, I’m afraid. We’ll see. But I really think LE is going to close the book on this – they’ve already declared Haleigh dead so they’ve even stopped people from looking for her! And LE hopes we’ll go away. IMO
Hey, CathyJo, I have stated over and over, I have yet to hear of one decent human being related to Haleigh, poor baby! That includes all on the Sheffield side.
So, m2c, we don’t let LE drop the case, we continue to email and question them until they solve the case.
But i do have difficulty believeing they didnt arrest Hank the very day or soon after for dr.shopping,a dr or pharmacy should know that by the computer at the time it occurs! jmo
any single one period Lady,100000% agreed!
LadySadie- jr is Haleigh’s relative!
CathyJo said,
in June 25th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Right,I agree there too Looking but They added pressure to Misty was my point by getting her parents! jmo
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Exactly! They went out of state to get Lisa for stealing checks, pressured the victim into pressing charges, and yet PCSO does NOTHING to get Amber’s mother who ran on a ROBBERY charge.
CathyJo I agree it added pressure to Misty, but if they had not committed these crimes they could not have used them as pressure against Misty. JMO
Just because LE “hopes” we go away doesn’t mean that we will.
Lady,if my daughter i lost custody of got Taken,then my son was returned to me,I think I’d be the one asking for drug tests,lol jmo
Tobias @ 11:08 – That’s right. We don’t know if LE has looked in any other direction or who else they’ve questioned. But given the very public nature of their concentration on M and T there is no reason to think they have seriously considered anything else.
I’m just praying the Sunshine Law will be invoked and a different group of LE put in charge if nothing happens after this group is sentenced.
Lisa Carmen Croslin has a retail theft in flagler on Dec.21, 2004. Docket #mm002592A.
They misspelled her name but the birthdates arehers and when you put her whole name in it comes up. jmo
BINGO WhyLie,its who they are focused on,all my point was! The whole gang is about as fittin as a buffalos hoof in a baby sock,wheres Adams,lol she loves that!
Thanks tobias, I missed that. And Hanks similar charges in Flagler?
no Jr is her brother,lol j/k but i wasn’t even considering him in the mix!
I’d say he issssss thee only gooden/
M2,I have to totally agree,they’ll sweep it under the rug and pretend the drugs halted it,lol
I agree 1000% with the fact of giving these people a whole bunch of time for dealing and thinking well they are in jail and calling it Justice for HaLeigh is total BS, because honestly Misty would have never been caught or targeted if it wasn’t for the HaLeigh case, and if she was she would get off with a program or probation being a first time offender and her age, and as for Ron ,we all know he always gets off on his drug arrests
Robin @ 11:25 am – totally agree!
so true,Chakra,thats why i said,if they wanted ron they didn’t have to wait till now,jmo
Its hard not to agree with Robin,she’s always fair and teaches me alot! lol which btw ain’t too difficult when ya don’t know much noway,lol
LadySadie, I don’t have any knowledge that LE is investigating Haleigh’s disappearance other than to question M and T even now. And I have no confidence that the investigation will continue from this point.
Simon just wrote an article about Zachary Pittman who’s been missing for year because he can’t even get a call back from that police department. That’s where we will be with Haleigh’s case a year from now, I’m sorry to say (IMO).
and that sux M2,its not right!
M2c You could be right , but God I hope not.
I was waiting for OJ’S Laurel and Hardy comment,rofl Wake up OJ!
LadySadie said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:46 am Just because LE “hopes” we go away doesn’t mean that we will.
—
I’m sure that’s true for some of us but those who are convinced that R did it? They’ll be gone. Those who are convinced that M or T did it. They’ll be gone. I’m afraid there will only be a much smaller group who wants to know the truth- whatever it may be.
He’s letting Misty down,lol
yea and whomever is totally innocent will always be accused!
CathyJo–You are pretty fair minded yourself. You never give yourself enough credit. As far as your husband’s case goes, have you ever considered a civil suit against his murderer? It seems you never got a fair shake in the criminal case, why not try the civil avenue? It happened in the OJ case. Just something to consider anyways if you haven’t all ready.
Misty will be disappointed OJ,wheres your defence today?
Well,if my billfold were thick I could,my attorney agreed to take the case for wrongful death Robin,then the 2nd meeting with her,she said she wasn’t willing to tie her time and money into it b/c if his parents left him anything at all,he’d hide it under a different name and we’d never get it,his parents are millionaires Robin,I had 113 dollars to my name when my husband passed,no insurance,nothing!Thats the truth!
He was totally disabled from a roof fall just 4 weeks when this monster took his life so didn’t even have his job!
Thank You Robin!!!!!
His dad owns most of Jefferson co. TN?
to be honest I sometimes think he bought my attorney too,not sure but wouldn’t surprise me after she just told me even in her opinion it was premediated murder!
then he got out on parole and absconded,then his time ran out,he’s a free man!
I’ve learned one thing Robin but I wish i hadn’t!
Justice is money!
Its a huge disjustice Robin and a slap in the face that my husband,my 25 yrs with him meant nothing!
looking for Justice said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:26 am “CathyJo if Crystal gets the proper help she can recover from the drug addictions…”
- – -
And if M had been anyone else, and if LE was interested in helping people (other than CS) then they could have picked her up easily on a drug charge (holding, using, buying whatever) and gotten her into the Youth Offender program or something.
What they did was like using a cannon to shoot a fly that’s been pinned to the wall. That really makes me wonder why??
Thats why i get bent out of shape,its not right,sure mine has passed but what about the people who loved Haleigh! Now they’re getting the same treatment!
Good way of putting it m2!
Here is a thought, perhaps Tommy was moved out of St. Johns because someone was moved into St. Johns
I just dont see where LE has given anyone a pass. We dont know anything they have done reguarding the sheffield -griffis because the publicize it. Every time some thing went on down there Chelsea was on the phone with AH. tHE MEDIA HAS NOT BEEN ON THE sHEFFIELDS OR gRIFFIS, WE DONT KNOW WHAT le HAS DONE WITH THEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO MEDIA ON IT. JMO OOPS SORRY for caps.
I’ll bbl,thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dakota wants mammam!! lol
Why didnt the media ask Crystal about her failed drug test? To me its all about the media. LE doesnt have to tell us what they are doing as far as the Sheffield /Griffis but the media has not gone in to talk with them like they have the others. jmo
I hate to hear that because YOU and your family deserve JUSTICE, even if it means that your husband’s murderer pays out the teeth for the rest of HIS life. At least civilly that he was deemed responsible for the death of your husband, and that 12 other fair minded people seen it that way too. I would think a rich family would settle instead of wanting to go to trial and your lawyer (if you can call her that) should have known that too. I firmly believe you deserve better than the hand you were dealt. I believe wholeheartedly that you are a SURVIVOR, not a VICTIM. You are a strong lady who stood up to some of the worst adversity and won, and I hope one day your husband gets HIS VINDICATION and JUSTICE.
I understand that too M2c. You have to want help also. This is a sad case all around.
BA Cent, I thought the same thing, maybe a certain bail bondsman who sold guns? Yet it could be a drug dealer too. jmo
IMHO, if MC had not been stopped at 17 or 18, she would still be doing what she was doing at 27 or 28. She did the crime, now she can do the time.
Where is HaLeigh?
Tobias, I was just thinking about that, what if LE doing a drug sting thought “We have some low level drug dealers who are high profile (because of HaLeigh case) and if we snag them and throw the book at them we may be able to clean up the county.” Hoping others will move elsewhere!
Of course, the Griffis & Sheffields should have been included in this but don’t know if they live in Putnam County!
Lillymae I agree with you.We heard Misty say in the very beginning she had been hanging around with some girls that she shouldn’t and was not going to do that anymore. Misty still hung with Nay Nay , b=Brittney and the one other girl she got robbed with. We heard Misty on the VLA test talking about her terrible childhood and not thinking her life was going to get any better and her appearance on the GMA wanting to go back to school and find a job after her divorce from Ronald. Misty was aware of the better choices and chose to stay on the same path she was on. JMO
Tobias @ 12:19 – It’s not the media’s fault. LE has not said a word about the G/S’s and the G/S’s have been uncharacteristically quiet. The only scrutiny we know they MAY be subject to is DCF which is private and IMO already tilted in CS’ favor – they already gave her custody of a child TWICE after registering positive for drugs.
Alex the S/G live in Baker County. They were not caught with their hands in the cookie jar and if they were I would expect LE to give them the same treatment as this faux five.jmo

Sheffields and Griffis are located in Baker County.
LFJ, When Misty said her life didnt look like it was gonna get better, I thought gee whats that say about her marriage to Ron? jmo
Sorry my 12:23 post was for CathyJo and I failed to put her name on it.
Yeah Tobias! We heard Misty in the recent tapes crying and telling her father Hank Sr. that TN and Ron were always pressuring her and telling her things to say.
I honstly believe the answers are in Satsuma, but will continue to explore all avenues in order for Haleigh to have the proper Justice.
lfj @ 12:35 – We could expect it but that doesn’t mean it would happen. In fact I doubt it. CS DID test positive for drugs and still got custody of Jr. What does that tell you?
For example, G/S had a pipeline of info on the case from Detective Peggy Cone to KP from Day 1. That is oh so very inappropriate IMO.

*************
Or the media has made requests for interviews and the Sheffield/Griffis have refused. None of the Cummings/Skyes/Croslin’s were forced to go on TV and spill all their dirty little secrets, they choose to do that and for the shows like Good Morning America and Nancy Grace were probably paid to go on.
Speaking of PCSO have ya’ll ever read this at topix?
http://www.topix.com/forum/county/putnam-fl/T1ABDB4JD48V6D7MH
You do not get paid to go on NG. I am not sure about GMA.
M2c I understand where you are coming from. Like I said this a very sad case. CS to our knowledge of the last report is getting help.
The Anthony’s were paid at least $200,000 by Good Morning America
LadieSadie, I know I had heard that GMA will pay for an item, so they can say it is not for the interview, but I was not sure if that was a tale or not. Thanks
The $200,000 went to Casey, supposedly and it was for licensing for photos of Caylee giving them the rights to use them. George and Cindy Anthony I believe received $20,000 from ABC supposedly for more pictures, when they were on one of the talk shows (I can’t even remember what show it was on) just before they went on that cruise.
From what I am told CNN does not pay guests to appear on NG’s show or any of the other shows.

Vaq, Looks like 4-5 people are upset with Putnam.jmo
Well I was more into what was being said than how many posted.
Why would anyone post things about the officers wives like they did if it wasnt sour grapes? Really the worst form of mud slinging I have read. TY for posting it but I see sour grapes and a lot of gossip. jmo

Tobias @ 12:22 – The media can only ask for interviews (if they are interested) with anyone including G/S. And the G/S don’t have to agree and if they did they don’t have to tell the truth as we all know.
G/S’s are smart keeping a low profile and only releasing statements. Why should they do anything to rock the boat when everything is going their way?
Also, per your 1:46pm OMG x a million! ROFLMAO!
hello to all, Happy Friday…..
justice for HaLeigh….
M2C, Have you read those comments? It sounded like sour grapes to me. jmo
I really dont see their comments on topix helping the situation. Kelly left Putnam in a mess and with no room in the jails or prisons where arethey going to put all these people who are on drugs down there? Look at the bookings daily, its in and out, nothing gets solved that way. These people need to get programs set up instead of being on topix biotching, ITS THEIR COMMUNITY. JMO
I’ve skimmed them.
My hilarity came from you making that particular comment.
LadySadie said,in June 25th, 2010 at 11:37 am Jr (and Chloe) should have been put into foster care until DCF was sure that Crystal was clean.
I angers me that so many people think foter care is a cure all. I survived several foster homes and children’s homes and I would not do that to my worst enemy, nor would any of my brothers. It was a living Hell and many foster families are very abusive: mentally, physically and sexually. Also, foster children endure a lot of teasing and name-calling at school in small towns. I can swear to that.
Perhaps DCF has made sure that someone in Crystal’s family who is not a drug user has been appointed to be the primary care giver and are checking on the children. The drug test that Crystal failed may have been due to something she was taking for stress and we do not have that information as it is not our business.
I hope everyone who jumps up and says a child should be put in foster care has to go to an old folks home and endure elderly abuse.

Not all foster homes are like the ones you apparently were in.
It angers me when someone trashes all foster homes as bad just because they experienced a bad one. I too have experienced fosters homes, first as a ward of the state and myself having been placed in 2 different ones before my Aunt and Uncle got custody of me. And second, as a foster parent myself. It is my experience that MOST foster parents are truly caring people trying to help children whose own parents are unable to take care of them.
I could turn around and say that I hope all people that trash foster homes one day has no one to care for them and endures absolute loneliness as an elder, but I would not wish that on my worst enemy.
comment deleted because it was argumentative
BNN Editor – Jan Barrett
Wow, LadyonaMission, talk about a personal attack, just because we have differing views on foster home!
um… what kind of “stress drug” would make you fail a drug test? No offense, please, Ladyonm… can you enlighten me on that? I work in a mental health facility and we drop clients all the time. I have yet to hear or read a ua that deems positive for paxil, zoloft, that would make it a dirty drop?
If anyone is interested go to http://www.sacbee.com & read the article about CPS & Foster Care.
So lets just do away with CPS and foster care altogether, yea that’s the answer (insert sarcasm here).
LadySadie- I don’t know what the answer is I would hate to have children placed in orphanages but in our county there seems to be a tie between bad parents and Foster Care. There are wonderful Foster Care Homes here also, very loving and you can’t tell who the foster child is or who the bio child is.
Maybe if CPS were not so under-staffed and under-funded, if CPS workers were not so underpaid, there could be a more and better quality CPS workers that had manageable case loads and they would have more time to check on the foster homes to ensure that all foster homes are wonderful and loving.
Also if more caring, loving people were willing to open their homes and hearts to children in need of foster care there would be more wonderful foster homes.
from the outside looking in, I don’t think any relatives that we have been introduced to in this case would be passing any drug test. How sad is this.. as I stated earlier and many times previously, this cycle of early pregnancies, school truancy, drinking, drugs, illegal activity just seems to follow into the next generation. Just as HaLeigh and Junior didn’t have a chance, neither did Misty or Tommy…..
In a perfect world there would be no parents that abuse or neglect their children and there would be no need for CPS or foster homes, unfortunately we do not live in a perfect world.
LadySadie- That’s not the only problem here in CA. It’s caring more about what a home looks like rather then the love in the home. I don’t know who came up with what the size of windows matter but I know a family who was approved for Foster care & then the finally inspection, their windows were 1/4 of an inch too narrow! They could get foster children if they widened all the windows in their home. If the window issue was a real danger to foster children wouldn’t it be to the bio children & shouldn’t they have been removed? I don’t know what the answers are!

She failed for oxies or roxies, can’t remember which, so not for stress. Plus if she had a prescription for stress medicine she wouldn’t have failed the test since you give them what scripts you are taking before hand.
Alexandria, I believe you are the one who said you type using a pencil with a mouth held device. I wanted to tell you about a free program we use at school for some of our handicapped students that converts speech to text and works very well. It is called ‘Wave to Text’, it is a bit difficult to install and requires installation of some of Microsofts free speech tools, but once it is installed it is very user friendly and very accurate if you have a high quality microphone.
LadySadie- Thanks for the info. the pencil is hunt & peck typing!
I think people ought to give Crystal a break and wish her and her children well. We don’t live with them, we don’t have first hand knowledge about the current situation in that household. I think Crystal would probably agree that she lacks in “mothering” dept. I give her credit for being open and honest about her past drug usage. Just hope she becomes stronger as the days go by!
Vaquera–Thanks for posting the link earlier on the topix forum. All I can say is WOW! That was pretty explosive allegations made about PCSO. It could also explain why this case has dragged on for over 16 months and Haleigh not being found. I would also like to thank Jan and Simon again for running a respectable (as in everyone respect others’ opinions and agree to disagree standard) forum. There is definately no place like here! I don’t mind reading there, but never in a million years would want to post! There are pretty brutal! They had a lot of interesting information though! And a lot of angry Putnam County citizens posting there!
beautiful*adams… Crystal should have chosen NOT to have children if she is that drug addicted.. sorry, look what has happened due to her choices. Again, back to how she was parented… we are not re-inventing the wheel here. DON’T choose drugs or alcohol if you CHOOSE to become a parent… or better yet, use birth control.
I remember it being reported that she took a friends loritab. jmo
It does take two to get pregnant maybe ron should have used birth control too? jmo

I do agree once you know you’re pregnant you need to make different choices but drugs and sex are the mix?
Hi Cathy, Looks like another day with no news arrrgggg.

Wonder if there will be anymore tapes from the jail? I doubt everyone has totally stopped talking, Misty would go crazy without a phone call or visit.hmmmm. jmo
BA, At least she wont be having anymore since Connie came on and told evryone Crystal had her tubes tied after Chloe. Which was really none of our business but someone asked, so she answered. jmo
Tobias – enjoy your sister time. I have two and we are getting together in late July and I can’t wait. I am so blessed to have them.

Thank You Robin,I really appreciate your Comment!!! I really do!
To be totally honest I don’t know what to say right now,Its hard when you’re not used to someone who knows it was and is an injustice,I know what to say to the rest,What I’ve always said but it never made a difference,I’m sorry just speechless right now,but Thank You Robin!
Oh I know Tobias,business as usual eh?
whew,I just checked out that topix link,OMG JM isn’t a good guy I take it?? lol
try it out here,ruro
Yes I did it OJ,Thanks,lol
Tobias,we’d have 911 out for you if we didn’t know,I know i would probably,lol We know our regs,lol examples are:
I wished something ,anything, would happen. I cant believe everyone has gotten so quiet, its like the calm before a storm. Makes me nervous.
I wonder if Charles Ingram has any info? He bailed just about every drug dealer, thief, and SO out of jail, wonder if he chatted with any of them? If he does know anything he would use it now since he has federal charges on him.
We need a break in this case really bad. jmo
Tobias, yes it was none of our business! Like I said, I truly hope she becomes stronger!
it wasn’t our business to know about Hank,lisa but guess what,we do!
yea Tobias,I do agree but we’ve had too many calm’s but not one storm! yet,maybe some fast wind! lol
Hurricane Sally,twisted susan!
waiting to see if Nancy Grace has any breaking news…
dunno how i got the words examples are,scratch it,lol
a bombshell you mean ILoves!
Joran and Michael Jackson…and Kyron (poor child),,, nothing else….on JVM
I’d be all happy for cs and i do hope she does it,addiction is hard to beat but it can be done and if anyone has inspiration now,She does,a new chance! so my eyes,fingers and thighs are crossed!
I may need it when she visits its like a whirl wind, its go,go,go thats why you probably wont see me the first week of July at all. I hope to sneek in the Tommy sentence on the 6th.lol

I do remember just not the site Tobias,I just came in when everybody ganged up on her,lol remember??
Cathy do you remember what night it was that Connie came on here to answer questions? I know she did because I was totally dumbfounded by it.jmo
Alex- that IS amazing, I watched a documentary on a woman with no arms and she did everything with her legs and feet, she raised a child and everything, some peoples ability to overcome and compensate is truly awe inspiring isn’t it
Would have been a very good thing M2,But are you forgetting who these ppl are,lol
That’s true, CathyJo @ 6:31pm.

I do remember she said Crystal had her tubes tied after Chloe. And she commented about the time BLStark thinks they snubbed her. It wasnt pretty is all I can say but she was civil to everyone. jmo
CathyJo- ROFLMAO
lol Alex,I am teasin ya! but i do look funny,lol
well my Gawd,OJ,i can’t cross my eyes either,rofl too late!
right,I came in while she was leaving!!!!
Thats why thers always 2 OJ’s ganging up on me,rofl
CathyJo- I use to think, when I saw someone with crossed eyes, I wonder why they didn’t listen to their mommy! Of course I was young but my parents gave us misinformation quite a few times!
Well,LoL I am glad she did but i meant i wouldn’t have died tomorrow if i hadn’t learned it ya know Tobias! lol
O yea Alex,santa my butt!!!!!!!
A real Santa wouldn’t have made me save a gift for my bday!rofl
mess a kid up that way! see
They lie to ya straight faced!!!
then ya follow in their footsteps and lie to yours! lol
Yea Tobias,I didn’t mind hearing her,shux its new info,lol
The tooth fairy always freaked me out. Thats a creepy lie, some fairy comes in to collect teeth and leaves money under your pillow at night. NO THANKS.LOL
CJ- Tell me about it, at least I was too shy as a kid to ask another kid why they did that!
What amazes me Alex is they teach you to walk and talk and then all they do is tell ya to sit down and shut up!
Not in my room,he’s have lost a tooth Tobias!
it is funny though,I always believed the easter bunny was in the moon watching me and everything i did!
a fat man squeezing down the chimney to eat cookies and milk and get fatter for the next chimney,shhhhhhhesh!
We only did the Santa lie for the first few years but we made sure there were presents given from actual people too. They had it figured out before they were 5. lol
TG Alex,thats prolly why none of us kids asked,we were too ashamed too,lol
Well,Tobias,My amom was blind and i was mean,I had my 8 track tape player a month before Christmas,slipped it back x-mas eve,awwwww
just mean!
Tobias- tooth fairy! too funny but the kids now a days want more money for their teeth then I can afford to put under their pillow!
oj’s glove… question… oj simpson….. guilty of killing Nicole and Ron??
yes or no…
but it wasn’t fair tho,always had to save one for my bday on nyd,thats no fun when you’re a kid! lol
guilty as sin,I ain’t OJ but i’ll answer!
Guilty as SIN!
look at that,same time 2 posts,lol
brb guys gotta eat,lol
CathyJo-One of my great nieces wanted enough money to get an implanted tooth like her dad did when he had one pulled. She wouldn’t beleive him that hers would grow back but his wouldn’t!
ITA Cathy, he didnt want her to be with anyone else and Ron just happened to be in the wrong place. Such a tragedy. jmo
Joran is going to get moved to another prison… even worse than Castro Castro….
and apparently is getting TONS of marriage proposals….
NOTHING update wise on HaLeigh….
Did anyone read the letters that were released in the Casey Anthony Case. It is so sad George asking her toplease let himcome to visit!
where are those Alexandria?
Orlando Sentinel!
thank you, friend…
refresh my memory… r u from Florida?
California!
Just checking in…..I take it that we didn’t find Haliegh today?
I wish something would hurry up and break soon! I just can’t imagine her dead.
Maybe someone adopted her out for some big money? That happens all the time. The adopted parents will never return her. There are underground adoption services everywhere. If one of the people around there thought they were doing a justice to Haleigh by taking her and letting someone have her that would care for her, then that is very possible. All they have to do is change her name and the rest is cake. Seems someone might of made some money off of it too.
Possibility, eh?
I don’t think HaLeigh was adopted out.. SOMEONE would have spilled that.. somehow…
what about early on when they said she was spotted at a WalMart out east? Does anyone know if that was ever addressed/resolved???
jmo
I just ran across this and had never seen it,a discrepency about the dvd player hooked to the tv??

************************************
Teresa Neves and her attorney Mark NeJame brought renewed national attention to the Haleigh Cummings tragedy on the CBS Morning Show.
Police say that the fathers new wife could hold the key to solving this mystery. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has said that Misty’s story does not add up. Physical evidence on the scene contradicts what Misty told police. And that according to Jeff, Misty was not being fully honest with the police investigators.
Both of them need to stop being so evasive, indifferent, and emotionless on camera. If you cannot muster more angst than that, nobody else is going to get all workup about it either. For goodness sake, off camera Teresa Neves is near hysterical with grief, but given the opportunity to stick it to the knucklehead, Misty, who lost Haleigh under her watch; she acts as if it is perfectly okay for the little 17-year-old to withhold information from the police.
All roads are pointing to Misty. Police say that it was NOT a stranger abduction. Who else could it have been, if it was not Misty? It is about time that Teresa Neves got mad at the person who lost Haleigh Cummings. Apparently from her performance on the CBS Morning Show Teresa finds Misty not putting an ounce of effort into resolving all of her many inconsistencies as to what happen the night that Haleigh disappeared under her watch, perfectly acceptable.
Good grief! When asked about physical evidence at the scene that contradicted Misty’s sketchy account of her evening activities, Mark could not even recount the LE comment about the DVD player not being hooked up to their television set, as in how could the children watch different movies on DVD, if the player was not even hooked up?
Haleigh has been gone six months. Perhaps, it will take another six months before Teresa and Mark might actually get mad at someone? Unbelievably, Jeff Glor seemed more concerned about Misty than they did.
Lets see now, who around there needed some cash, LOL.
Sorry, but when there is a crime there are a few things that stand out as Motives: Money, Jealousy, Revenge.
Under Money, its either money owed or money needed/given. (Crystal owed money in back child support, they all needed money, maybe others owed money too?)
Under Jealousy, its ex’s and present in girlfriends, wifes, boyfriends, husbands, fiances, friends and relatives. (too many of these people to list)
Under Revenge, it is payback time and can be about doing what someone did to them or making them pay in a different way for what they did. (could be the noncustodial parent, could be a drug/weapon deal gone wrong, could be any of them).
Now if that’s not enough, lets throw in the variables of drugs, gangs, weapons, children and court proceedings.
However, when I look at all three of those motives, one person is the high variable choice in all of them. Guess who?! just sayin
Alex,If i were George,TG i’m not btw but if i were,I’d give up and let her sit there alone!
If it is possible that she is being hidden i highly doubt anyone would take her to Walmart or any store. She would have her hair color changed for one thing and cut shorter. With her face all over NG and JVL etc. no one who has her would risk a public trip with her. jmo
Looking or Whylie,sorry i forgot but if it was one of you who asked if i’d found all the videos on one site,the one i just posted has tons of em”
Why would someone spill it that she was adopted out? That would be totally secretive. Look at the little boy that the mother put through an adoption ring and gave him to a couple in San Antonio. They are still trying to find him. No one is going to come forward. She gave him up for some cash and a ruby ring. Sad but true. That was just this last year.
I thought there was a photo op of HaLeigh in that WalMart???
No one would risk that right now,Suicide for sure!
whoever did it from the beginning has done a good cover up job so they wouldn’t be that dumb now! jmo
reward money Jen?? If 2 ppl know,the chances are great!
maybe even dressed as a boy Tobias!
The biggest question is who would risk their own skin for the ones who want her hid? Idont see it but that would be the biggest question I would ask. jmo
right Jen,I know what ya mean but somebody would have said something,imo I’m not always right tho! lol
CathyJo- But I still feel bad for him!
did you know about the dvd player and tv Tobias,first i heard!
Ive mentioned Haleigh to multiple people and they have no idea who I am talking about. Not everyone knows or cares about this case. There are hundreds everyday. If you look at the US news, there are horrible horrendus things that occur that I never hear about. The ones I do, I don’t start looking at every kid trying to find the ones that are missing. Could you imagine? I see a lot of kids everywhere, and Im not out looking for Haleigh in my state, etc.
OMG I do too Alex,real bad,I am a Grandma,i know!!!!
but Casey isn’t gonna do anything for anybody BUT casey!
It would be a long sentence in prison for the person or persons who have her. And for every State line it gets more time added. Do the Sheffield/ Griffis have those kinds of friends?
I doubt it. jmo
Tobias, maybe a greedy person who only cared about some money and thought they were doing Haleigh a favor anyway getting her out of that environment.
Don’t forget Jaycee or Elizabeth or any of those other kids who have been kept by other people for years and no one notices or suspects.
I know its gotta be hard as hello and then some but casey cares for no one but casey,the best is gone,when she took Caylee to spite them,I’d let her rot!
Cathy, Do you mean the wrong movie DVD in the playstation and TV? i THOUGHT YOU KNEW. JMO
I remember reading about those grandparents who stole their kids children and raised them as their own. No one ever found out till they were grown. The grandparents thought they were doing what was in the best interest of the kids. So, it doesn’t have to be a stranger, it can be relatives.
imo casey is satans child..jmo
NNO I DID NOT KNOWWWWWW,NOT THE WRONG MOVIE,THE DVD WASNT EVEN HOOKED UP TO THE TV SET????????
Didn’t my article post??
Casey is a devil child. She is evil, evil, evil. Its horrible what she did.
but i didn’t know either,don’t ask how i didn’t,lol I didn’t tho!
yes she is,she’s satans child to me Jen! always has been!
if someone did Jen,hide her or lie to help,They deserve more time than the ones in jail!
Is that true about the DVD? I heard that very early on.
Casey had her chance to give Caylee up for adoption and chose not to….well, actually pressured into keeping the baby by PSYCHO Sindy, (Mommy Dearest) I would of much rather found out that the Nanny had her and was taking her to the beach and disneyland every day, lol.
Its in the article i posted just above us,if it showed,i posted article,link and all!!!!!!!
TN was still defending her??
Right CJ, they would deserve the worst. Look at what they caused/created in addition to just taking her…but then again, maybe that was the plan? Who knows, its just a theory/thought I threw out there for discussion.
exactly right Jen,destroyed tons of lives!
Remember some of those cases were before the AMBER ALERT and the internet. J. Duggard was 18 years ago, there wasnt very much in the way of public awareness. And those people caught were the actual abducters not helpers. jmo
and even some relatives would kill her to keep the truth unknown,from what i have seen they would,jmo
before they’d be caught! imo
buncha hoodlums!
Cathy, where did you read that? I know the wrong movie Madagascar was in it when Misty said Air bud was what Haleigh watched. Didnt know the playstation wasnt even hooked up. jmo
didn’t it have the link too Tobias?
Its on the cayleedailysite
iT says the dvd player was not even attached to the tv to watch a movie??
I read somewhere that the DVD wasn’t even hooked up either. Crazy! Watching movies without a DVD player, Washing clothes with no soap, Putting dirty clothes in the dryer, Asking what is numerical, ….
Gotta wonder
WTH…Where is Haleigh?
I didn’t know that Jen,at all but i sure never seen that article before either,it was tn and her Lawyer?? sheeeesh
Right Jen,whats worse is tn and ron still defending her? they knew her what,4 months? jmo
I know she’d be the first i’d blamed!
Did you see on the same site that a resident said Misty lived with her parents 2 blocks from the dock and they said they saw her with a trash bag days after Haleigh disappeared? Why didnt they go retrieve the trash bag or call LE WHEN THEY SAW HER? sTRANGE. JMO
That one momma sold her 5 year old into prostitution for $200.00 and some crack cocaine. Remember Shaniya Davis? Found dead after being raped. The guy was seen at a hotel carrying her into the elevator.
I know it is shocking, but when you are that f’n hard up for drugs, (a very strong addiction), you will do anything, and I mean some people will do anything, to get their fix or pills or whatever! It’s more likely if they are high when they do it.
So, Haleigh could of very well been sold to someone. Maybe this is what happened and Tommy set up the back door to look like a kidnapping, but forgot to make it look like the door lock was jimmied. ooops.
(But he says he wouldn’t be guilty because “he knows what he is doing when he is high). I wonder if that includes high on the meth he might of been smoking that night?
imo,it was like she knew something on them too so they all stuck together,but now it looks worse on ron and tn….jmo tho
Tobias,what i heard was she had a black trash bag carrying it down the road,crap i dunnooo,lol
exactly Tobias,knotheads would have called you’d think,sheeeeeeeeesh
I think maybe Jen,they’re high when they aint high,lol jmo
I think it looks bad on Tommy. He may of gotten moved for his own protection. When the mates in his cell block find out he’s been lying this whole time, they would kill him just for the hell of it.
Thats why I think he got moved. I think he may of confessed? LOL, maybe they are gonna let Ron have a piece of him?? Now that would be entertaining.
something bad wrong with their logic! every single member of Haleighs family has a screw or screws loose…jmo
or him and ron at one another?? to see what comes up?
I never heard about the trash bag. Yes, they were probably high when they weren’t,lol.
PermaHigh!
Seems there is a plan, we just don’t know what it is, lol.
I hope they beat the crap out of each other.
Tobias,the link i posted,go there scroll down to the last row,up 1 and see what u make of that?
I wonder when Lisa and Hank moved from that house by the dock? Was it before or after his car wreck? Hollys Gma would know she did alot of research earlier on. jmo
oh they will,lol I think its a ploy myself,see what rumors go thru the jail! jmo
Hey gotta run…will leave you all with my favorite question…….
Whats the difference between a drug dealer and a prostitute?
A prostitute can wash her Crack and re-sell it.
it was after wasn’t it????
yea,HGM would know for sure!
lol Jen,
This was in KP’s rebuttal,RE:Bar Complaint!
Crystal Sheffield told me on numerous occasions that she had given the envelope of cash donations to
her personal friend, Jeremiah Regan. Jeremiah was the son of a local pastor, and had befriended Crystal prior to
my entry into the case. I did not personally know Jeremiah Regan prior to this time, but it was the client’s
decision as to who should hold her funds. I conferred with Crystal on several occasions to confirm she wanted
Jeremiah Regan to continue holding her funds, and she affirmed this to me on several occasions in front of
friends, family and my staff members.
Marie Griffis did not seem to like or trust Jeremiah, but Crystal felt
comfortable with him holding her “envelope” for her. I have no information or evidence that Jeremiah Regan
ever mishandled any funds contributed to Crystal Sheffield. He has provided a formal accounting of moneys
expended from contributions, and a copy has been previously provided to Crystal and her family.
Document available upon Request.
Until a Trust or other legal mode of soliciting donations was in place, I instructed the family to cease all
attempts to collect funds from the public. Emails provided upon Request.
We had several conflicts with
Crystal’s choice of Trustee for her Trust. She could not decide who was to be named Trustee, and changed her mind on several occasions. Without a named Trustee, the trust attorney, Brian Page, was unable to complete the
Trust Agreement for the family.
Finally, Marie Griffis wrote me an email stating that she had given Crystal
$1,400 to put in her personal account, and only had $217.00 left in donations.
Email Provided Upon Request
Further, the family made numerous allegations against friends and/or family members stealing funds from the donations. Emails Provided upon Request. I could not control the bickering between friends and family over
the funds, and they became very distrustful over one another. I would hold meetings with the family and their friends in an attempt to quell the issues between them, to no avail.
By early May, 2009, I was informed by Marie that all funds from donations had been spent by the family, they had not agreed on a suitable Trustee for their Trust Account. Marie Griffis expressed her desire to
form the nonprofit organization to seek donations from the public to aid families of missing children, and the search for Haleigh Cummings.
Further, Marie stated she wanted to “get her daughter off the couch” and have
her do something besides watch television all day. I became aware that Marie had already been in negotiations with a concert promoter to hold a concert event to honor Haleigh, and to gain contributions and funds.
Cathy what link? Do you mean the caylee daily haleigh site? Hank being at the MH at 10?jmo
Already, there was a vocal minority of the
public that felt that Crystal’s seeking of donations was insidious, and was an attempt to make a living off her own missing child. The public began sending me “hate emails”, chastising me for being involved in an effort to make money off of the name of a missing child. I did my best to curb the detractors, and was consistently having to engage in damage control to keep Crystal from appearing like a mother who was getting rich off her
child’s tragedy.
I never saw the funds that were received by the family, never received single dime from donations to Crystal, and never asked for, or received, a single reimbursement for the tens of thousands of dollars of supplies,
costs, expenses, office equipment, and staff, I had gratuitously devoted to the case. I never opened a Trust Account for the family, as the Trust Agreement was not completed, and all funds collected were spent by the
family. Marie kept all log books, documents and papers regarding the families’ receipt of funds from the public.
The allegations of a “money scheme” by Haleigh Cummings’ family increased over time, and the family was eventually reported to the Department of Agriculture. I agreed to assist them in the complaint process, and
obtained legal advice from the law firm of Rothstein, Rosenfeldt, and Adler, PA, in Broward County, Florida.
We began the process of setting up a charitable organization to be run by Marie Griffis and Crystal Sheffield. I
personally paid for all fees for the incorporation, registration with the state and counties, and filled out required
forms to be signed by Marie and Crystal. I did not have, nor did I desire, any interest in the corporation, Haleigh
Bug Foundation, Inc. Initially, I was listed as the Registered Agent for the corporation, but later transferred that
title to Marie Griffis. Haleigh Bug Foundation, Inc. was officially incorporated on May 8, 2009, and granted
permission to solicit donations to the public on July 1, 2009
the steroid call??
hmmmmm
Prior to my coming onboard in the case, Crystal and her family, in an effort to raise her public image,had told numerous media outlets that the only reason that she did not have custody of her children was that she
was not served with court papers, and had lost custody by default. Also, she claimed on national television that Ronald had kidnapped the children, and that his family, through their collusion and “connections” in the
courthouse, made sure that Ronald retained custody of the children.
This claim was simply untrue, and I was
wholly unwilling to corroborate their previous version of the court file. I spent numerous meetings with Crystal
and her mother, explaining that I could not attest facts that were untrue to the media, or to anyone else. At that
time, I believe that a wedge began to form between Marie Griffis and I.
_________________
wow,blows my mind!
Unbeknownst to me, Crystal’s father had come upon the scene of her car accident to assist his daughter.
Crystal’s Father has allegedly executed a sworn affidavit stating that when he came upon the scene of the accident, Crystal admitted to being on prescription pain medication (unprescribed), and gave her father the pills
to hide from the police who were on their way to the accident site. I was not aware of Crystal’s drug use, or of
the affidavit executed by her own Father, until months later, in June, 2009.
I turned my attention on resolving conflicts between the parties with time sharing, pick-up and drop off,and co-parenting. Crystal had never complained about her complete lack of involvement in her children’s lives
since 2005.
She did not attend doctors or dentist appointments, or even know who their medical care providers
were. She did not ever visit the children during the week, even though her Final Judgment provided that the
alternating weekends were a minimum visitation schedule, and permitted her to see the children during the week upon notice. Crystal did not speak with her children over the telephone during the week, and her only contact
with them was roughly four (4) days per month on alternating weekends. Crystal had not been involved in Haleigh’s school, school functions,
and did not even know what school Ronald, Jr. would be attending in the
Fall of 2009. In an effort to increase her awareness and involvement in Ronald, Jr. life and upbringing, I worked
amicably with opposing counsel, Jerry Snider, Esquire, of Palatka, Florida.
******************************************
wow,what a farce,just posted for some of you guys! Thats it,lol
Do we have any rebuttal from Crystal or Marie on the bar complaint? Did they say anything? jmo
And the original Bar Complaint filed by Crystal and Marie:
On March 13, 2009, Kim Picazio contacted the mother of missing child HaLeigh Cummings,
Crystal Sheffield and maternal Grandmother of HaLeigh Cummings, Marie Griffis and offered
legal assistance to the family on a Pro Bono basis. At this time, HaLeigh Cummings had been
missing since February 10, 2009.
After the initial contact, it was agreed upon by Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis that Kim
Picazio would appear with Crystal Sheffield on television programs solely to support her and
assist with any legal questions. There was no informed consent granted to release any other
information beyond what was required for the television appearances. Crystal Sheffield and
Marie Griffis also agreed that Kim Picazio would represent Crystal Sheffield in all child custody
issues concerning HaLeigh Cummings and Ronald Cummings Junior. Both Sheffield and Griffis
expressed their desire for Crystal Sheffield to gain custody of her children.
These are the only activities that were discussed and agreed upon between the parties of Kim
Picazio, Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis. All activities outside of these agreements were not
discussed or authorized by Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis. There have been many ethical
violations that have been committed by Kim Picazio during the representation of Crystal
Sheffield and Marie Griffis.
The Florida Bar Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.6 Confidentiality of Information Subdivision

mrsm said,in June 25th, 2010 at 12:11 am imo lindsey was all good with lying and covering for TC until that last LDT TC took. Then LE or his lawyer (cant remember which but she says in a JH conversation)tells her something that he said (or didnt pass) during that LDT that really P***ed her off.
—-
But, according to some opinions here, couldn’t LE be lying about him failing the question? Just trying to see all sides….
(I really better not stick around tonight, I am in a MOOD. And last night I fell asleep at the computer and woke up with a crick in my neck!)
JMO

email is included as Exhibit E. Electronic record is available upon request.
In an email exchange on May 21,2009, Kim Picazio communicates with an internet blogger
known as Pirate Girl. Pirate Girl is sending a written summary of information that Kim Picazio
has shared with the internet blogger. This information is extremely sensitive and personal
information about the Sheffield / Griffis family. The blogger is presenting the information to
Kim Picazio for final approval before posting the information on the internet crime forum
Websleuths. This information was later posted on the internet forum. The email is included as
Exhibit F. Electronic record is available upon request.
In an email exchange spanning May 24-35,2009, Marie Griffis communicates with an internet
blogger Karen Simmer (aka Ksue). Marie Griffis is asking the blogger about a telephone call
that Ksue had with Kim Picazio. Marie Griffis had heard about the phone conversation because
the blogger called into an internet radio program and discussed it on air. This information is
extremely sensitive and personal information about the Sheffield / Griffis family was supplied to
the blogger by Kim Picazio. The email is included as Exhibit G. Electronic record is available
upon request.
Marie Griffis told Kim Picazio on many occasions to cease speaking to the general public and
the news media. Marie Griffis also told Kim Picazio to cease posting information on the internet
and to stop disseminating information to bloggers. Kim Picazio did not stop these activities.
In the Request for Withdrawal letter dated July 9,2009, Crystal Sheffield again requested that
Kim Picazio cease her dissemination of information about her or her family’s personal life and
the disappearance of HaLeigh Cummings. She also requested that Miss Picazio not contact her or
her family. Since receipt of the Request for Withdrawal Letter, Kim Picazio has continued to
give statements to the media and has repeatedly attempted to contact Crystal Sheffield and Marie
Griffis. The letter is included as Exhibit H.
The Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.3 Diligence states lawyer shall act with reasonable
diligence and promptness in representing a client.
Kim Picazio has not acted with reasonable diligence in the operation of the Haleigh Bug Center
and Trust that was created in April 2009.
On or about the second week of April 2009, Kim Picazio set up the Haleigh Bug Center and
Trust account for donations to contribute to Crystal Sheffield’s living expenses and HaLeigh
Cummings awareness projects. She consulted with and hired an attorney named Brian Page who
is a Trust Attorney with the firm Greenspoon Marder out of South Florida. She also opened a
bank account at a Bank Atlantic location and submitted the trust documents to the bank.
Kim Picazio secured Jeremiah Regan to run the Haleigh Bug Center and be Trustee of the
account. According to Kim Picazio, this person was going to serve in that position at no charge
and was tasked with monitoring withdrawals from the account. All expenditures were to be
tracked with a receipt and every donation would be noted. Kim Picazio stated that everything
given to the Haleigh Bug Center and the family, included cash donations and gifts would be
noted. Everything was to be tracked so that the integrity of the trust was not compromised.
There were other individuals chosen to run the Haleigh Bug Center for a period of time, but
Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis were not included in personnel decisions. Kim Picazio made
all executive decisions for the Haleigh Bug Center. Exhibit Dl contains information that Kim
Picazio told an internet blogger about her involvement in the running of the Haleigh Bug Center
and Trust.
Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis were not aware of any of the actual administration of the
Trust, nor were they given access to any banking records. They were not even aware of the
location of the bank for the Trust due to the fact that Bank Atlantic branches were only located in
Southern Florida. Crystal Sheffield received $300 hi total from the trust for reimbursement of
living expenses. Jeremiah Regan stated to Crystal Sheffield that he had turned over a record book
to Kim Picazio of donations received. Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis have not seen the
record book and have no knowledge of the amount of donations that were received or how they
were disbursed.
Kim Picazio has not acted with reasonable diligence in her failure to file for suspension of
further child support obligations. With HaLeigh Cummings missing and Crystal Sheffield
suffering seizures and unable to work, Crystal Sheffield’s child support obligations should have suspended or at least reduced. Crystal Sheffield turned over a copy of her doctor’s note verifying
her inability to work or drive. A copy of this note is included as Exhibit I.
I was looking Tobias,but got skeert to post more,lol TY Guys for doing it!
We were discussing John Regan yesterday on an article,thats what got me started,lol
seems cs trusted him if no one else did,lol jmo
She still drove Lady.jmo
thats the 1st i have ever seen of sheff side rebutt!
The exhibits include many emails Kim P. sent to different bloggers but they don’t copy and paste that well.
Going to see if this part of the rebuttal regarding the emails will copy and paste, sorry in advance if they don’t come out well, I am copy and pasting from the pdf downloaded from the Florida bar.
———–
Kim Picazio befriended a number bloggers. One such blogger that Kim Picazio befriended was Kendall
Clark aka Pirate from Websleuths and the Garden. According to Kendall Clark’s statement which is
included as Exhibit A, v®ry sensitive information was being leaked by Kim Picazio to be posted on tiie
internet by herself, wA Wto other btoggers Karen Devine^pruill and Tammy Spratt
Following ts an excerpt from Kendall Clark’s statetnentexr>lainingu^ type of leiatranship she had with
Kim Picazio and the depth of involvement Kim Picazio had with the online community.
However by the end of April I began to grow cot&ermd with tten&ure of the Mfon^wn Kim often
shared with Karen and me. At times 1 felt flattered that she trusted me, but more and more I was
coneermdthat Kim should net be handing <nti itformation that included the names of potential
witnesses in a missing child case. I knew that Kim talked with other people who were active on the
internet and was fairly certain that she was sharing information as Jreety with these other people as she
had with me, Kim mentioned that she warned to have as many bloggers as possible contact Bonnie Warner at
Florida’s Department of Children and Families to exert pressure to remove Ron Cummings Jr. from the
custody of his father. She tossed out names of people with whom Rcm Cummings was known to deal
drugs and details about their statements to her investigators and to law enforcement.
Kim also wanted me to post defamatory information about John Merchant, a detective with the Putnam
County Sheriff’s office on Websleuths. She claimed that this detective was caught with cocaine in his
personal vehicle in 2008 and was not punished beyond two weeks of desk duty. She also claimed that
Mr. Merchant had been caught in possession of a boat that belonged to a drug dealer who he sent to
prison. Kim daimedthat Detective Merchant was helpingHaLeigh’sfather, Ron Cummings continue to
evade prosecution for his role in HaLeigh ‘s disappearance, I had no desire to subject myself to a libel
case and therefore declined to post the information about John Merchant.
Miss Picazio also took an especially aggressive stance toward Ron Cummings’attorney at the time,
Greg Kimball. She told me that Kimbatt was known to use crack cocaine, engage in parties with
prostitutes, and that he was likely involved in the drug trade with Ron Cumnrings. She also told me that
his nickname on the streets of Putnam County is “Crackhead”‘ Kimball and that he had a condominium
on the waterfront in Palatka in which he hosted drug and sex parties. KM and her private
investigator, William Cobra Staubs both pressured me to share this information online.
Kim had a close relationship with a Bounty Hunter/Private Investigator named William “Cobra”
Staubs. They were longtime friends and were working on HaLeigh’s case together. Many times Kim
called me when she was with Cobra and we would have three way conversations utilizing her cellular
speaker phone. There were many times she called late at night and I assumed that she and Cobra were intoxicated because of their conduct. Around the middle of May Kim and Cobra had a falling out that resulted in an acrimonious war of words over the internet. One afternoon, Kim contacted me and she
was extremely upset that Mr. Staubs/Cobra had recorded her discussing an extra marital affair she was
having with a young man who worked at the Haleighbug Center named Jeremiah Reagan. She told me
tMt one night when she was spending the night in a hotel room wuit Jeremiah in Pala$ka that Cobra
called Kim’s husband to report that this was happening and that he drove to Putnam County from Ft.
Lauderdale and caught Kim in the hotel room with Jeremiah,
Kim was angry and upset and determined to exact revenge on Cobra for telling her husband about her
affair with Jeremiah. She wanted to share some of Cobra’s embarrassing personal information online
and as I did with the information about John Merchant, I refused to participate. Shortly after this
conversation with Kim, a man catted my house and told me that he had information that could be used to
damage Cobra and a reporter/ram Minnesota with whom Cobra was working named TJm Holmseth. I
hung up on this caller and told Kim to never have anyone call me like that again.
My continued refusal to disseminate negative information about Kim ‘sfoes resulted in our relationship
becoming strained. Tne fined incident that resulted in my brealang ties wUh Ms. Picazio ami Karen
Devine was when Ms. Devine abused her privileges as a moderator at Websleuths in order to prevent
Crystal Sheffield and her family from learning that Kim was spreading false information on the internet.
A story began to circulate that HaLeigh ‘s father, Ron Cummings was planning to take HaLeigh ‘s
brother Ronald Jr. to Central America over the summer. I contacted Kim to see if this was true and she
replied that Ron Cummings did reqmst to take the cMd out of the cotaUry but that she was not going to
allow it. She gave me permission to post this on Websleuths A day later, on June 8 Marie Griffis
contacted me through private message at Websleuths to tell me that Ron Cummings never requested to
take Ron Jr. out of the country. I apologized projusely to Marie and told her 1 would be glad to share
the email with her in which Kim Picazio stated that he did make this request. Within hours Kim was
leaving angry voice mails at my home questioning my loyalty to her. The next Jay I severed my
relationship with Kim Picazio, Karen Devme-Spruill and Tammy Spratt inane mail informing them
how disgusted I was with the way they were treatir^tne case and family cfa missing child.
Glad I apologized in advanced about the quality of copying and pasting from a downloaded pdf file, LOL. But I think you can get the meaning of the post.
LadySadie- That’s why I don’t trusy any lawyers on this case, they tell as many lies as their clients!

I read somewhere that the DVD wasn’t even hooked up either. Crazy! Watching movies without a DVD player, Washing clothes with no soap, Putting dirty clothes in the dryer, Asking what is numerical, ….
Gotta wonder
———————-
I believe they watched movies on a PS 3, there is one on the video when they did the walk through under a tv
right..watched the video on the ps
I only have one question–Where did the Haleighbug Foundation money go? None of these people (Crystal, Marie, or Kim) claim they know where it went. Who can you believe? But I can see where the character assassination as far as Ronald is concerned started (I know he is not the greatest to start with). Could he not sue Kim P. for slander or libel?
She came on this blog not too long ago (don’t remember the date, but after Crystal fired her) still talking about the case. Isn’t there a confidentiality agreement between Crystal and her? How can what she did be considered ethical at all?
shes a media wh*re..
offered her services for free for publicity..
she should be in jail for all her antics…
not misty. :-bd
I don’t remember LE ever stating the DVD player was not hooked up to the TV. CJ do you have a link for that?
WOW, OJ and I agree about something re KimP, there is a first for everything!
Yes,whylie,I posted it above@ CathyJo said,in June 25th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Right Robin! makes ya wonder!
I guess whichever Misty told them was hooked up,was not? jmo
CJ, that link did not take me to that article or to LE stating the DVD player was not hooked up to the TV. It just took me to a links page on a blog.
Teresa Neves and her attorney Mark NeJame brought renewed national attention to the Haleigh Cummings tragedy on the CBS Morning Show.
Police say that the fathers new wife could hold the key to solving this mystery. The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has said that Misty’s story does not add up. Physical evidence on the scene contradicts what Misty told police. And that according to Jeff, Misty was not being fully honest with the police investigators.
Both of them need to stop being so evasive, indifferent, and emotionless on camera. If you cannot muster more angst than that, nobody else is going to get all workup about it either. For goodness sake, off camera Teresa Neves is near hysterical with grief, but given the opportunity to stick it to the knucklehead, Misty, who lost Haleigh under her watch; she acts as if it is perfectly okay for the little 17-year-old to withhold information from the police.
All roads are pointing to Misty. Police say that it was NOT a stranger abduction. Who else could it have been, if it was not Misty? It is about time that Teresa Neves got mad at the person who lost Haleigh Cummings. Apparently from her performance on the CBS Morning Show Teresa finds Misty not putting an ounce of effort into resolving all of her many inconsistencies as to what happen the night that Haleigh disappeared under her watch, perfectly acceptable.
Good grief! When asked about physical evidence at the scene that contradicted Misty’s sketchy account of her evening activities, Mark could not even recount the LE comment about the DVD player not being hooked up to their television set, as in how could the children watch different movies on DVD, if the player was not even hooked up?
Haleigh has been gone six months. Perhaps, it will take another six months before Teresa and Mark might actually get mad at someone? Unbelievably, Jeff Glor seemed more concerned about Misty than they did.
**********
Link @ 7:45 pm!
I notice you always include Ron Cummings as if there is some indication that if Misty and or Tommy is involved, Ron must be as well. Is it possible that Ron Cummings just did not want to believe his GF and later wife could have harmed or been part of harming his child? That Denial played a part in his actions and he went back and forth as he said I belive hard to think she knew something and kept it this long but hard to think she don’t know nothing probably because of what LE told him. I mean he left his child in her care what better reason for him want her to be innocent and for this to be some “sicko”. I have suspected Tommy Croslin since the day Misty mentioned him on her voice stress test, it was his reaction to being accused that made my radar go on. I suspect that Tommy did this himself or had a major part in it. There was also tension between Tommy and Ron cummings and some take this to mean that they were in on it together and Ron was trying to keep Tommy from talking by putting a rat in his mailbox, however at that time Tommy had put Ron in Jail for assult and was pressing charges against Ron Cummings so I would assume that would also be a reason for Ron Cummings to consider him a Rat. I do not like any ot these people but I see Tommy as acting the most guilty of them all and people seem to have missed this from day one. I do not agree that it would take someone smart that had experience to get away with this. Sometimes the hardest crimes for LE to solve are the ones where the supect acts in a way that nobody can predict, irratic, stupid, on drugs because LE can’t apply normal logic to what they would do. They themselves may have been so wasted they do not know what they did and why they did it and that makes it very hard for LE to put it together. I think if this was a case of domestic violence that would be easy for LE to solve had Ron Cummings done this. I think he was at work and whatever happened, he found out when he got home his child was gone. I think he has a ton of guilt if he suspects Joe since he made a fight with him, he has guilt for leaving her with Misty who he knew was on drugs and seventeen and gone all weekend, and he is a drug addict and also seems to have borderline personality disorder which explains why he would want to keep Misty and marry her after loosing Haleigh.
Now if we go with your theory that it had to be someone that thought this out, Joe Overstreet seems to have given lots of thought to killing people and what to do with their bodies so he could not be convicted of killing them. Something to Ponder. And this information that Joe Overstreet said this about getting away with murder and where to put a body came from Tommy Croslin, if you believe Flora Hollars then Lisa Croslin told her this story of what Joe said two weeks before Haleigh went missing. In the presence of Tommy and his father. Tommy then made a point of passing that information on to many people, including apparently Misty along with the information that Joe dumped Haleigh off this dock, where he said it would be a good place to get rid of a body and get by with murder cause the gators would eat it. Did Tommy kill Haleigh and try to pin it on Joe Overstreet? Did Misty kill Haleigh and Ask Tommy for help, Tommy and Joe for help? Did Haleigh overdose and did Misty call Ron at work to tell him what happened and he asked Tommy to help? Will we ever know. From where I sit the hardest person to convict will be Joe Overstreet because all we have is the word of two liars, liars that could have put those cinderblocks and maybe rope in the water themselves with Haleigh or without. Would Tommy protect Ron Cummings all this time? I do not think so. Who would Tommy protect? Joe, I do not think so, Misty? Perhaps but most likely the reason Tommy Croslin did not talk early on when he was arrested is he is protecting himself above all others, could be Tim helped if Misty did something I guess. But to me Tommy seems guilty to the core. Misty if she did do this, lacks a soul because I see no torment there as if Misty perhaps did leave and Tommy perhaps told her what happened, and held something over her to keep her quiet. Like the fact that if she talked Lindsey and Austin and the children would have no father.
Her parents would hate her and maybe even that he would blame her. I listen to Hank talk to Misty and tell her that Tommy passed his Lie detector and so she is in trouble, then all of a sudden Misty is saying maybe Joe did not have a part, maybe it was Ron, Ron was right there when she opened the door? SO WHAT. That would only matter if Misty’s story was the truth and she really found Haleigh missing right before he came home and that is not the case, clearly it is not the case. So, if Tommy passed his lie detector and LE beleived him then Misty would have to blame someone entire different and it would not be Joe Overstreet?
Why? Because if Tommy passed then he would not be backing her up if Joe really did this OR is it because the story of what Joe did came from Tommy to Misty in the first place. IF Tommy is in the clear, Misty needs to blame the next person she can so she won’t be blammed. Is that because Misty is guilty? I notice we have no more Jail tapes after some of these conversations were released. These only make Misty look worse, I mean here she is saying now she was wrong about Joe and she thinks Ron did it, and even her did is telling her she can’t be making up shit, she needs to only tell if she knows it is true and not be making up stories, well why is she pointing at everyone, moms side of the family done it, her cousin and brother done it, Ron done it, makes it look to me like Misty done it. But if Misty done it this would only help LE, if they need her to testify against Joe or someone else it hurts them. I mean more reason for nobody to believe a word she says and what did she say?
She said maybe Joe did not do it. Everyone was blamming him so maybe she just thought he did cause everyone said he did. Who is everyone? Did Tommy tell Misty Joe did this? Because Tommy did it himself? Or did Joe do it and that is why we have no more calls. Because Misty saying Ron did it and she was wrong about joe only hurts a case that they are having a problem making in the first place.
Which could be why we hear nothing, they can’t charge the SOB for what he did and when she opens her mouth she makes what case they do have worse. No more tapes? My money is on Tommy and if not him Joe Overstreet. Tommy would flip on Ron Cummings in two seconds. It took him to long. Leads me to think he did it himself or maybe has a heart for his sister.
It did Tobias,lol sec
did it post??
CathyJo63 said,in June 25th, 2010 at 9:24 pm thats the 1st i have ever seen of sheff side rebutt!
———————–
That isn’t their rebuttal. It pre-dates what Kim P had to say in what you posted CathyJo….what you posted is KP’s reply to their complaint. The Sheffield/Griffis have never denied (at least publicly) anything in KP’s reply.
Me…. that also is my understanding when I originally read the complaints. However I haven’t a clue if the S/G had any representation or rebutal ( is that even an option/allowed or is it then in the hands of the Bar Assoc?) to KPs response to their complaint… I do know KP was not sanctioned in any way, unless there is more to come in this never ending sad tale.
lawyers are vomit..hope’s lawyer being the perfect example of a worthless public defender. heaven help the poor, because public defenders are not! They lead the sheep to slaughter then say “next”..
JNet,
I think KP did get the final word in with her reply, however, there was obviously nothing stopping Marie & Crystal from publicly denying some of the issues she raised, like Chloe being born with illegal drugs in her system, the crack belonging to Chad etc.
I don’t know if her new lawyer helped her at all or not, but I don’t think so. Plus, the new lawyer seemed to agree with Kim at least in relation to custody of Jr, as she didn’t file for custody either…Crystal only went for custody after Ron was locked up.
If you don’t do a crime you don’t need a public defender.
If you don’t do a crime you aint got to do no time!
The faux fab five didn’t care they were being watched and dealt drugs anyway.
jaba said,in June 26th, 2010 at 6:21 am If you don’t do a crime you don’t need a public defender.

Not really. If that was true, then people would be arrested and immediately sentenced. Fortunately this is not a police state so we have a little step in between called a trial in which the prosecutors are required to prove guilt. Innocent people are mistakenly arrested too sometimes.
Hank Sr. is all but begging Misty to tell WHAT SHE KNOWS.. SHE KNOWS SOMETHING…
and for whoever made the point yet again, that Ronald and his mama are in on this.. I totally BELIEVE that at this point… truly.. who in their right mind would be happy that their son married a 17 year old after their grandchild is reported missing….
the sad part that continues to concern me is that too much time is going by and the case gets colder each day…
does anyone thing Tommy may have been moved because he could be on suicide watch? How much more could his life be going down the tubes as of now???
I don’t think a lot of mothers would want to trash their son in public no matter what they may personally think so I can’t blame TN for that.
As for Tommy, I do not think he is considerate enough of anyone else to do away with himself. He’s much too self-centered.
There are exceptions, but if you don’t commit crime, you have far much less to worry about than law abiding systems.
I realize what kind of system of justice we have and while not perfect, its the best in the world, imo.
Again, don’t do the time if you can’t do the time.
The faux fab five didn’t heed that warning and now are paying a high cost.
Yes, jaba, the US has the best system in the world precisely because the two things you said are NOT true:
“If you don’t do a crime you don’t need a public defender.”
and
“If you don’t do a crime you aint got to do no time!”
agree, Jaba.. and good morning
ilovetheshowmadmen @ 6:47 am “. . . Ronald and his mama are in on this.. I totally BELIEVE that at this point…”

What is your theory on how/why they are in on this?
Far much less to worry about if you are a law abiding Citizen….
Correction to prior post.
Good morning everyone
m2c.. it doesn’t make sense they HAVE NEVER questioned anything Misty did.. they have supported her.. they never said “she was there, she should know.”
this is a little child’s life.. if it would have been me? I would be doing anything I could to try and figure out why and what happened… Teresa even said the kids loved her.. and they wanted her to marry Ronald.. okay.. she was 17.. and had known him for 4 months.. are you flipping serious? This is SO wrong on so many levels.. and then Ronald marries her after he says, “bitch, you let my child get stole…”
Wrong, sick, on so so many levels…
Morning ILS!
If you don’t commit crime your chances for being falsley imprisoned are very, very small.
There is no way in he77 that Misty would face a hundred years or more in prison to protect Ron, TN, AS, TC, or anybody else, that goes for TC as well. The only ones they would protect are themselves and they would do it by putting the blame on somebody else. They can’t blame what happened to Haleigh on Ron because they KNOW Ron was at work. Their only choices are to blame each other or JO.
ilovetheshowmadmen said,in June 26th, 2010 at 7:23 am –
None of that spells guilty to me necessarily. We don’t know what TN said to R or LE in private vs what she said in public. And I remember an interview with TN saying that maybe M did have something to do with it. At the time I felt like she was finally succumbing to what LE had been trying to convince her of (and convince all of us).
And I remember quotes from MG and CS right when Haleigh disappeared that said the kids liked M and were happy there.
MG and CS’s tunes changed a little later.
It’s very difficult for people to believe that someone they know or are related to could be capable of something really bad.
A lot of people do things “wrong” or what we wouldn’t do but again, not enough here to spell guilt to me BUT that’s just me and my point of view. Doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong by any means.
I also have a hard time seeing the Cummings involved in the deedor a cover up, JMO
WhyLie @ 7:29 am.
I agree. They’d rat out anyone to get out of long sentences. So either one or both are covering for themselves or they just don’t know IMO.
Moving to new article. Refresh is slooowwwwwww!
Jaba said——

***************************************
If you don’t commit crimes, your chances of being falsely imprisoned should be ZERO!! But then you got to take into account those rogue cops and overzealous prosecutors who love to ruin lives because of their power hungry egos and have to be right at all costs. No, our justice system is not perfect, nor is it the best we can do! But like you said, it is the Best in the world! Make the TIME fit the CRIME too! When penny ante drug dealers warrant more time than murderers and child molesters than I think EVERYONE ought to take exception to that! But then that’s just my opinion only!
WOW I sure can clear a room and put everyone in auto ignore mode.
It’s my opinion, too, Robin. In our justice system it doesn’t seem that crimes against children matter very much considering the relatively light sentences that are often given.
I don’t think so TM39. There are about 9 posts since you posted. Maybe you need to refresh the page. Sometimes I have to do it twice before all the posts show up.
if you thought Misty had something to do with your grandchild being gone, would you WANT YOUR son to marry her? UM, no…
If you thought by having your son marry Misty to PROTECT yourself and your son, would you approve… um, heck yes!!!
morning Texas!
IMO The fact that Misty was in the picture is the #1 reason I believe this whole mess came to be.
I would be very concerned and pissed off if the ex had decided to date a child and move her in to be the full time care giver of my two small children.
Having the chidren only on those 4 days a month could be a reason that the cildren where so attached to the young girlfriend.
IMO it would be a significant cause and point in a motive to get revenge. I would not doubt that even Amber wanted a piece of the action for the same reason.
ilovetheshowmadmen – Who said TN wanted any of that? Again, what’s said publicly by most families in the world is meant to put the best foot forward – not to air dirty linen or disagreements.
Besides, what mother has total control over what her adult 25 + year old son does? AS wasn’t happy with M’s behavior (leaving R and kids for a few days etc) or that R took her back but again since when does a grandmother have any say over what an adult man does?
The only other thing that has turned my stomache aside from HaLeigh just vanishing into thin air is this whole “money scam” that was initiaed immediatly after the first day by the mother and her family and their friends.
As far as we know M took pretty good care of the kids for months. None of the people involved in this case (except some bloggers) claim to have ESP or psychic abilities of any kind. So I think it’s understandable for them not to expect something like this to happen.
m2c.. apparently Ronald’s mom did play a HUGE part in his life… did you see his tattoo? Come on….
and remember, his mom BEGGED Misty to take care of those children so he could go to work. This was after her 3 day drug binge or whatever that was…
seriously.. if your son’s 17 year old girlfriend had been MIA for 3 days and then just came back into the picture, would you want her taking care of your blood grandchildren in that sort of condition?
ilovetheshowmadmen –
M had been back with Ron at least since Sunday and back from binging to Tommy’s on Saturday I believe.
She was home with R all day until he went to work.
To me it is just as easy to think that M needed a little “tough love” since she so much wanted to marry R and have her own kids it was about time she learned that real mothers take care of their kids when they’re tired too. And when did she supposedly call TN or ask for the favor? M could have gone to sleep at 8 pm herself when the children went to bed. The only time she’d really need help was between when R went to work and 8 pm. I think TN thought M was trying to go out and party again. I don’t blame her at all.
And somebody has to make their mind up if TN played a big part in R’s life or not. There’s that opinion and others say she abandoned him. Besides he’s grown and very independent. I don’t see him as a mama’s boy at all. I think AS and TN had little chance of influencing R ever – nevermind at such a highly emotional time as that was.
There is no proof that anybody knew what Misty was off doing for those three days until after Haleigh went missing. What 17 year old girl trying to get her boyfriend back is going to come home and “brag” to him or his family that she was off drugging and sexing it up? None I know.
totally disagree about the Mama’s boy part.. totally
and at 17 years of age.. not her job to take care of HIS children.. if she chose that, oh well…
he was using her and so was his mom…
but her poor upbringing was the reason she herself knew no better. She hadn’t been to school since the 6th grade? Where I come from, those parents would be held responsible and Misty would not have been in their home.. She would have been taken in by a foster family or a caring relative…
ilovetheshowmadmen said,in June 26th, 2010 at 8:14 am @ 8:14am
Where you come from. Right. But not relevant to whatever happened here. It’s easy to find fault with R and TN and lots of other people and how they lived but I still don’t know why you think R or TN are involved – in what? What do you think happened?
M2C, I will agree that IMO Misty was a good care giver to a certain degree, she is still just a child and not their biological mother. I am sure she loved the children and would never intentional harm them as others have suggested, but Mity is a child and we all know that when one mixes bad choices in friends and drugs (even pot) to this mix it is highly probable that something will go wrong and accidents will happen.
WhyLie@ @ 8:12am – I agree.
M2c.. my previous post at 7:42 should answer your question.. call it woman’s intuition, gut feeling, you name it….
WHY would you want your son to marry a person that was watching your grand child that is NOW gone? EVEN if it was not Misty.. what if it is Tommy, Lindsy, or Joe? SAME FAMILY??????
you want your son to marry in to this?
I hope this explains my feelings….
it is NOT normal… NO one should want their 20 something son to mary a 17 year old 7th grade drop out.. and I DO NOT blame Misty for her hard life. These are tragic and point blank facts.
TM39 @ 8:20 am – Yes, I’m not debating that. I’m trying to discuss TN and others’ points of view since some are blaming TN for what happened or saying she’s involved.
CS, MG, AS and TN ALL said M took good care of the kids and the kids liked her. THat has nothing to do with my opinion. That’s what THEY said. THEY lead the lives with the values (or lack thereof) and that was their perspective.
It would not be consistent with their way of life to have worried about M taking care of the kids that night (or at all really) especially since (a) they most likely did not know about her binging several days before and (b) M had been home with Ron at least since Sunday and certainly all day Monday. Why should TN have worried about M’s “condition?”
ilovetheshowmadmen @ 8:25 am
I think it’s a mistake to assume that you know what TN wanted or thought.
sorry, ilovetheshowmadmen. I meant to add – again – what is your theory of what happened as far as TN being involved?
Oh, I think I misunderstood. Your answer to my question is “call it woman’s intuition, gut feeling, you name it….”
–
So you’re just railing against a woman you don’t like? It has nothing to do with a theory on the case?
I agree with that and will say I do not believe that Ron or his family knew everything that took place that Friday and Saturday she was out “binging”. I also do not believe that if Misty had something to hide that night it was not just from LE, but, possible Ron as well.
There is a rebuttal filed by MG and CS to KP response. It is long, hope Jan doesn’t mind my posting it. Again this is a straight copy and paste from the downloaded pdf file so excuse the quality in advance.
——————–
The response filed by Kim Picazio addressing the original complaints contains her response to the
specific complaints, along with a muMpage narrative of the case. The superfluous narrative seems to
serve no other purposes than to defame her clients and ccmfiise the issues that have been reported in this
complaint Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis will only respond to valid rebuttals to reported
infractions. Miss Picazio’s attempt to disguise inflammatory, unrelated allegations as valid responses to
the complaints should be noted.
The first issue that should be addr^scxl is the fact that the Sheffield/Griffis Famiiy was in the middle of a terrible crisis, the disappearance of a child, when Kim Picazio began representing them. The
confusion, worry and stress that surrounded such a traumatk event had a profoond physcal and
psychological effect on Kim Picazio’s clients, m a situation so:h as mis, it was very important for
communication between attorney and client to be clear, consistent and documented.
The second issue that should also be addressed is the fact that Kim Picaao represented and spoke for
Crystal Sheffield and her family, including Marie Griffis, One only has to read Kim Picazio’s own
response to establish that fact. There are numerous referaK«s to her advising and consulting with the
family. She spoke for the family on multiple occasions. There is ample evidence that Kim Picazio
advised the family on many legal issues and represented herself as a family spokessnan.
Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis will not comment on die initial contact between Kim Picazio,
William (Cobra) Staubs (personal friend of Kim Picazio) and Wayanne Kruger due to the fact that
neither of them (Staubs or Kruger) weie official representatives of the SheiBeldJ^mffis family. The
issues discussed are irrelevant to establishing the professional relationship between Kim Picazio and the
Sheffield/GriiTis family.
The Rales of Professional Conduct 4-1.6 (a) Violations
Hie Florida Bar Rules of Professional Conduct 4-1.6 Confidentiality of Information Subdivision (a)
states Consent Required to Reveal Information. A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to
representation of a client except as stated in subdivisions (b), (c), and (d), unless the client gives
informed consent.
Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis continue to cwntend that it was agreed thai Kim Picazio would
appear with Crystal Sheffield on television programs solely to support her and assist with any legal questions. There was no informed consent granted to release any other information beyond what was required for the television appearances. Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis also agreed that Kim Picazio
would represent Crystal Sheffield in all child custody issues conceniing HaLeigh Cummings and Ronald
Cummings Junior. Bofli Sheffield and Griffis expressed thdr desire for Crystal Sheffield to gain cu^
of her children.
Cry stal Sheffield and Mark Griffis continue to contend that these are the only activities that were
discussed and agreed upon between the parties of Kim Picazio, Crystal Sheffield and Marie Griffis. All
activities outside of these agreements were not discussed or authorized by Crystal Sheffield and Marie
Griffis.
What good would it have done for TN or GS to alienate Misty from the family? She was the last one known to have seen Haleigh and LE drilled into the family and the public that Misty is the key.
Should they have turned on Misty and given her a reason to leave Florida? Remember she was a minor and her family was planning on shipping her to Michigan. Would it not make more sense to pull Misty into the family fold and try to get her to trust them enough to tell Ron or the family what she knows, if she indeed was/is holding back info?
Misty said it herself, Ron and the family was pressuring her. What were they pressuring her about? Pressuring her to talk, pressuring her to come clean and tell all she knows, pressuring her to work with TM and take yet more LDTs?
We do not know how the family was feeling or how they were relating to Misty, we only know what they were saying to the public, which may not have been their true feelings at all.
LadySadie: Could you please post the link for that?
Or the website and title? Thank you.
hmm…M2c… I re-read everything I wrote that you have commented on.. where did I say I didn’t like someone and “rallying against?”
You asked why I felt they were involved..
it is passive aggressive behavior at its highest arc…
THEY are pretending to be all pro Misty.. cause THEY most possibly know what happened to HaLeigh… they will protect Misty to protect themselves…
I have thought and processed, what other answers could there be?
WhyLie@ 8:39 am – I agree. Plus R and M moved in with AS shortly after so there was another person there to help look after Jr.
What I’ve asked several times is what your theory of how they were involved? What did they do to hurt, harm or abduct Haleigh?
There are a LOT of unlikeable people close to Haleigh (and not close) so a little more is needed IMO to say someone is involved – like a theory. What happened? What did they do?

The other half of their response did not post here, guess it was too long.
I don’t believe that HaLeigh overdosed.. I think it could have been a physical abuse to HaLeigh..the whole 911 call is a sham… and why would you stop and buy cigarettes BEFORE you came home if you knew something was up…
why 20 cell phone calls….
why would you marry someone who you said let your child get stole..??
it is assumptions.. I have no proof… but something smells wrong and it doesn’t add up…
I wasn’t there.. but as i said previously, I have a gut feeling Ronald and his mama know way more than they are spilling… and so does Misty…
why did Teresa try to get Cobra all jacked up on that woods visit with the Mexicans in the cabin theory? She is as dumb as a fox…
yes, my opinion… lots of unanswered questions.. I hope this explains to you in a better manner
LadySadie @ 8:58 Please post the link or some info that would enable us to go to it. TIA
ilovetheshowmadmen, yes, well, there are lots of questions and suspicions in other directions as well. We can all take our pick or wait until some evidence is found.
m2c, I did post the link at 8:52, see above.
LadieSadie – Thank you SO much! But it is not showing up for me. It may have gone into moderation.
Sometimes it helps to break it up like leave off the http://www

*********************************
M2C, IMO that is why this case is so unbelievable. It is easy to dislike all of these individuals and speculate because of the dirty laundry we have discovered on the Croslins and the Cummings and have continuosly rolled around in for the last 16 months. It all actually has over shadowed the facts in this case; that could of found the truth and HaLeigh many months ago.. JMO
Ilovetheshow…I think M2c said ‘railing against’ (not rallying against).
I too would like to know how others think this has to do with Ron or TN?
An opinion on their lifestyle choices does not say how they were involved in Haleighs dissapearance. Personally, I see nothing wrong with Ron and Misty being together or getting married after Haleigh disappeared. I think TN loved Misty. It wasn’t like they all just met. Seemed that it is a very tight community and some cultures are different. I also think Ron was trying to change some things in his life and Misty was great with the kids and loved them. Why wouldn’t TN like her?
So, when Haleigh was taken, Ron and Misty bonded even closer (which happens after this sort of thing). Support was needed, not a bunch of fools running around blaming each other causing more trouble. They stuck together both in a human sense and an emotional sense. The police even had to ask dumbass Crystal to put her hate for Ron away for the time being and focus on Haliegh.
This is what needs to happen.
I don’t think Ron or TN were involved. They both love(d) Haleigh and so did Misty.
Hope this posts for you m2c.

I agree at this point we need more EVIDANCE to actually be able to firmly believe anyone of them in particular is involved and guilty of harming/hiding/killing HaLeigh.
Yes, I agree, we can all find fault with everyone of them….so what? That doesn’t mean they are kidnappers, abductors, pedophiles or murderers.
But give a logical theory of how they committed a crime r/t haliegh’s dissapearing. That’s what this is about.
WTF – Where is HALEIGH????
BBL
So JenM, do you think Crystal didn’t love Haleigh? And Misty “loved” Haleigh so much that she b*tched about how Haleigh ruined Misty’s birthday, yep lots of love there.
I don’t think Ron purposely set out to kill Haleigh, but I do think he is the one that killed her, and TN, AS and Misty are protecting him and involved in the cover up.
Hi everyone. I have a favor to ask of all of you. When you copy/paste something in here please also include the link that you got it from. Also you don’t have to post the whole article when it is long. It makes the page here harder to load when it is over filled with some of those very lengthy posts from someone else’s site. I know most comments with links in them go directly into moderation but I try to get to them as soon as I can.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. I hope you all have a great weekend!

m2c, did the altered link post for you at 9:19?
Sorry Jan, thats why I said I hoped you didn’t mind, LOL.
m2c, hopefully you can see the links now.
JenM, My point is the playing field is even IMO and should not be the bases for our theiries…ONE is no better than the other!!!!!
It should of been since the beginning about motive and who had something to gain from this crime IMO.
Funny it was all about $ and custody for the Sheffields since the beginning.
LadySadie: People love differently. IMO CS’s love was more benign neglect, you know? And just because M complained about having to babysit on her birthday does not mean she didn’t love Haleigh and it does not incriminate her (to me).
She was 17 years old, a teen and she wanted to have a good time on her birthday. Very understandable. Instead she finds herself in a situation that a lot of adults (married with kids) might also resent. It’s understandable to me.
In addition, complaining about that may also indicate that she was really disappointed in Ron and his family and her own family for not going out of their way to do something special for her on HER day. Also understandable to me.
Good Morning Everyone!
Does anyone know who babysat the children before Misty was in the picture?
Even though I don’t think this is the case but, one possible motive for Ron could be that he was tired of taking care of a sick child and the expense of taking care of her was just about to get a lot more expensive. She was going to have to start regular hormone treatments that year.
BBL coffee is cold and the sun is already up and baking us Texans. Hope all of y’all have a great Saturday.
To whom ever has the ability to end this …… please … HaLeigh deserves better….Let HaLeigh be found, today.
LOL! LadySadie! I don’t see the second one yet but the first one shows now!
Did my post show up with another source for the Bar complaint files? It’s at 9:28 am.
Alexandria, it was stated in the custody or DCF papers that Ron’s sister Crystal would be the primary care giver when Ron was at work, don’t know if she ever really did watch them though as she lived in a different county, had 2 kids of her own and had a job.
I wonder if Amber watched them when Ron was dating her.
I don’t think that the expense of medical treatment was/or has ever been, an issue. Ron had insurance and when he was not working there was Medicaid to cover Haleigh’s medical needs.
m2c, your source hasn’t shown up for me yet, but glad mine did for you.
LadySadie- Maybe Misty was better to the kids, in their eyes, then anyone Ron had watching them before!
WhyLie, even with insurance, there are co-pays and most insurance only covers 80% of the cost. Not sure how much Medicaid covers, but I can attest to the fact that in Florida it is very difficult to get Medicaid. My daughter has a heart condition, I am a divorced mother and her father contributes nothing to her medical care. Even with 3 different doctors reports she did not qualify for Medicaid.
WHyLie- Here in CA if someone is in their probationary period of a job, as Ron was at PDM, they aren’t entitled to insurance until that period is up. Is it different in Florida?
Alexandria, it depends on the company, but usually there is a 60 to 90 day wait before you are entitled to insurance.
LadySadie-TY
And up until the new laws that made changes to the insurance industry, if there was a pre-existing condition that had gone 30 not covered under any insurance then the new insurance company did not have to cover that condition. When I moved from Ohio to Florida, I had to pay the $900 a month Cobra Insurance payment to make sure that my daughter did not go without insurance or the new insurance would not cover her condition.
LadySadie: Here it is again but I did not include the “usual” that goes in front of it (like what appears in BNN’s website addy before bloggernews.net) Let’s see if this works.
All the files on CS’s bar complaint against KP (to and from) can be found here. It’s TJ’s radio show’s web site so everyone should be able to access them.
When you get to the link just scroll down and you’ll see all of the files listed and you can click on them.

thesky973.com/pages/5686083.php?
m2c, when I looked at the files on thesky973 I could not find MC & CS response to KimP’s response. So I went to the site I posted and that is where I found all of them.
LadySadie @ 9:35 – I absolutely cannot see Haleigh’s health being a motive for R to get rid of her. He’d cared for her her entire life and thru several hospitalizations. I know he’s not a good guy in a lot of ways but there is NO WAY he’s this bad. IMO
JenM.. wow….
you think it is normal that Misty and Ronald bonded after HaLeigh was last seen in Misty’s care….”"you let my daughter get stole, bitch…?”
do you think it is normal that they married too?
I think it’s called the Rebuttal of Complainant, LadySadie. All the formal docs should be there.
ilovetheshowmadmen – Long married husbands and wives have blamed the other when a child disappears – especially in the heat of the moment when it they just found out about it. It’s not weird. It’s not surprising. I would be if he hadn’t said something like that IMO.
Again, no proof or evidence of guilt at all.
If you look at the G/S side, do you think much of what they did was “normal?”
I don’t want to bring up that feud again but really among this bunch what’s normal?
I can remember a TV interview with Crystal where people can be seen behind her searching for Haleigh’s body and to the astonishment of the reporter who had just mentioned that to CS, she carries on beeotching about something bad someone said about her. Totally unaffected by what was going on around her. Was that “normal?” No. Does that mean she kidnapped Haleigh. Not necessarily.
Medicaid is based on income. Being as Ron was living in Putnam county I doubt he was making a ton of money so I am sure economically he would qualify for Medicaid for the children. Even if you have insurance you can get Medicaid which will pay co-pays, deductibles, etc, as long as you financially qualify. It is much easier to get Medicaid when you have a child that has not reached school age, regardless if the custodial parent is the mother or the father, if you meet the income guidelines.
I believe the Medicaid issue was also brought up during the custody hearings and both children were covered at that time.
And the marriage may have been motivated by Ron wanting to stay out of jail on stat rape charges or by wanting to improve his public image.
IMO we just can’t judge guilt or guilty knowledge by the way these people acted or what they did.
It is Possible. Many things are possible. That’s why I have a number of theories featuring different people.
Crystal? medicated, or under the influence of something…
normal? of course not to me..
but to her and others? yes, quite possibly
ilovetheshowmadmen said,in June 26th, 2010 at 10:16 am -
So why not apply the same point of view to TN and R and others?
m2c- I have always beleived that Ron married because of the Staturory Rape possibility! That’s why TN & AS were all for it and praising Misty! After the marriage it didn’t matter. Ron was protected and their true feelings about her came out. jmo
I always felt that Ron married Misty for 2 reasons, one to keep Misty from being sent out of state by her parents, and two to take a jab at Crystal.
Like it or not, and whether we agree or not, Ron and Crystal have a history of loving/hating/hurting/comforting each other. We may not understand or approve of their relationship but it is there and goes back years and imo will continue for years to come, maybe forever.
So does anyone have an explaination for getting back to gether with Misty after he divorced her? And while together they were caught dealing drugs? Remember this is the person who let your daughter get stole, is Nationally known to do drugs and slept with WBG. Ron waswith her for more reason than finding where his daughter was, I doubt they even discussed it. jmo
There is so much we do not know about this case, imo, the only things we do know are:
1. Something happened to Haleigh while she was in the custody of her father.
2. Haleigh’s fathers 17 year old live-in girlfriend was supposed to be watching Haleigh on the day that something happened to her.
3. Haleigh’s father married his 17 year old live-in girlfriend who was supposed to be watching Haleigh when something happened to her shortly after something happened to Haleigh.
4. Haleigh’s father divorced his 17 year old live-in girlfriend that he married shortly after something happened to Haleigh after only a few months of marriage.
5. Haleigh’s father and his now 18 year old ex-wife were arrested for drug trafficking together shortly after they divorced.
And do any of you really believe AS and TN didnt know he was using? Really, they knew and did nothing. And Ron not only lost Haleigh for what ever reason, but he lost Junior through his own actions. jmo
Everyone claims Ron loved HALEIGH so much? What about his love for Junior? He didnt care enough to stay away from Misty and drug dealing to be there for a little boy who needed him in the worst way since he doesnt have Haleigh anymore. jmo
Tobias – I totally agree!
LadySadie and Tobias: all of which add up to: all childre who disappear are in the custody of someone and there’s always someone who was the last to see them (sometimes even in the same house) and also being weird and using drugs (plenty of people with children use and deal and make terrible decisions especially when under great strain and villified daily) but it doesn’t add up to guilt.
And – tit for tat – why didn’t CS clean up her act, get a job, start making custody payments etc if she wanted her children back for pete’s sake? DCF gave Jr to her when she tested positive fgs. She was the lesser of two evils?? BFD. Talk about motive. That family had them all: money, jealousy and revenge.
Hey, m2c, I have never said that Crystal wanted her children back, imo, she didn’t and was only pressured into seeking custody of Jr after something happened to Haleigh. But that is only my opinion.
Because as someone pointed out Jr, Chloe and Jordan are also related to Haleigh, my adjusted standard statement is:
I have yet to hear of one decent ADULT human being related to Haleigh, poor baby!
True 2 wrongs dont make either of them RIGHT. Just pointing out Ron had custody of both kids and somehow lost one(whether it was his fault or not) and more or less quit caring about the second child because he was dealing drugs (knew if he was caught he would lose him too, said it to the UC on tape) jmo
Tobias, you have no idea whether R quit caring about Jr. You have no idea what he was going thru.
But using the same logic, couldn’t we say that CS didn’t care about Chloe when she took drugs when pregnant and when driving Chloe and even after that – up to the custody hearing?
Doesn’t mean either R or CS had anything to do with Haleigh’s disappearance. Someone OTHER than the person with custody is often responsible – whether it’s a relative or stranger.
m2c, absolutely we could say that CS didn’t care about Chloe when she took drugs while pregnant and after. We could also say she didn’t care about Jr since she tested positive for drugs after she did get custody of him. I won’t re-post my feelings on that since when I did yesterday I got severely attacked by someone that doesn’t like foster homes.
I still have not seen any proof of Crystal doing drugs while pregnant with Chloe, it is all hearsay or rumor unless there is a document. And we all know hospital, doctor and DCS records are private. So if someone publicized those they are legally liable. jmo
tobias, Kim P. put that in her rebuttal to the bar complaint filed by CS and MG.
Kim P. had no right to make alot pubic and some pick and choose what to believe from her. One time she is truthful and then she is a liar. I choose not to believe anything she says. jmo
In the CS & MG reply to KimP’s rebuttal they disputed a lot of things but that is one thing they did not dispute or deny.
Does it say illegal drugs or just drugs? Because if she had a priscribed medication during prgnancy (which does happen) it would be a none issue. And since she was in a car wreck while pregnant it could very well be a prescribed med. jmo
Very true tobias, I don’t think it said either way, just drugs in system.
LadySadie: I agree with you on “I have yet to hear of one decent ADULT human being related to Haleigh, poor baby!” and my post above was not related to your post. It was in response to Tobias’s post @ 11:35. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
LadySadie, to explain, I tend to respond the way I do sometimes because of the daily allegations about R and sometimes M by Tobias who doesn’t seem to see the significance of her making up totally unfounded allegations about R (like he didn’t care about Jr)and yet wanting proof that CS had Chloe while taking drugs even when KP said so. In short, doesn’t believe a legal document about CS but imagines all sorts of things to accuse R of – every single day (as “jmo” of course). Blows my mind.
I would post 90% less about CS and G/S except I feel some balance is needed. And that’s jmo.
tobias @ 12:06 – I don’t think KP would have had a problem with it if it had been prescribed drugs and I’m sure that MG would have countered with proof of that if it was the case. But they have not contradicted anything KP said.
And you have to ask yourself why did KP know any of this? She was there to be Crystals lawyer, I sure wouldnt want her representing me in a case, she is not supposed to reveal anything her client say in her confidence. And right or wrong she should have been disbarred.jmo
M2C, Is KP to be believed or not? Its not like she was truthful the entire time from what alot of people claim or is it just when its about Crystal? I have dismissed everything she has said. imho
How can we expect any of them to care about their children when they don’t even care about themselves (as shown through the lives they lead. More important to them is the immediate self gratification they experience and the heck with future! jmo
M2C, You know what KP and the blogger Pirate did(among others) but you choose to believe her now? Just when its about Crystal? I was in lurk when all hello was goig on with the bloggers but I can tell you I dont believe a word she has said even ones about Ron and Misty. jmo
Tobias, the Bar Complaint that CS brought is a serious thing and so are the documents. KP had to respond to defend herself or she could have been disbarred. So CS opened the door. KP could be in serious trouble for lying on those docs if CS wanted to take it farther. So yes I’d give that more weight.

Do you think Marie knows Crystal likes weed, and crack and like those downers for all these years? Yet she did nothing either.
Because they were not illegal drugs, everyone keeps saying its in the KP BAR COMPLAINT. I t says drugs( which we all know could be from a doctor prescibing them) I had a hard birth with my first child and yes I was prescribed pain killers during the labor and birth. jmo
Pirate aka Kendall Cummings Clark St Jacgues is the one that wrote the bar complaint anyway.

Even her daddy said she should have gone to Michigan or where ever it was after Haleigh went missing like they wanted her to do..So yea, I think she was planning on high tailing out of there.
She had the chance to leave when she was in Tennessee and she was not married to him then. She came back when he called her, Misty was in love and reguardless if he married her or not she would have stayed with him. jmo
I really shouldnt say love but infatuated is what she was if not obsessed. Who gets a tat of their ex on their lower back? She was under the impression they were going to always be together.imho
tobias said,in June 26th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
“And she should have been (disbarred). We all know that.”
No. We don’t. I like a little evidence before conviction, Tobias.
Tobias @ 12:57 “Crystal and Marie arent smart enough to take her down and she knew it too.jmo”
My azz. They brought the bar complaint and could have taken it farther if they’d been wronged but they didn’t because they weren’t. FINALLY some truth came out about that lowlife bunch that was trying to paint themselves as innocent victims when they were no better than the one they were accusing. My azz.
So you believe everything KP said? Even the abuse accusations against Ron when she knew they were false? She knew the incident happened at the school but still accused him.
I dont believe any thing she said and I dont reference any of her accusations against either party. jmo
I am not saying the S/G are innocent in any wrong doing, I am saying KP created alot of it along with them. She knew she was not going to win custody for Crystal long before she bailed out on her. I think she hoped Haleigh would be found before she had to really do anything andwhen it didnt happen she bailed out. jmo
Tobias, I am stumped by your all or nothing approach here. What KP said in official docs is a whole different animal than what she may or may not have said any other time – and most especially when she was acting on her client’s behalf to put her client in a good light (which clearly she now regrets), to further her cause etc. Typical custody stuff “HE’s bad. SHE’s good.” That’s definitely debatable. What KP said in the docs is not. IMO
I agree to disagree with you, if you wish to believe KP its your choice. I dont and her record of conduct in this case just proves the point. Whether she lied on her bar complaint or not it does not make up for the mess she helped create in this case. She lacks ethics and morals. in my honest opinion.
What KP said on forums, or to media, or to Joe Blow down the street means nothing. There is no law that says you can not lie EXCEPT to LE and in official docs such as KP was giving to the Florida Bar.
If people were foolish enough to believe everything that KP was spieling on forums when common sense clearly would tell a person that it was not true, then she was doing what she set out to do.
Tobias, most divorce/custody lawyers lack ethics and morals IMO. But I don’t think KP lied on the Bar complaint docs. Maybe when representing MG and CS she did but not on the docs.
KP and Cobra worked for Marie/Crystal, if they did not approve of the mess she was making of the case and the fact that their missing child was being put on the back burner then they could have stepped up and put a stop to it. Marie was on the boards spreading her lies just as much as KP was.
vaq, the link for the response to the rebuttal is in a post I made this morning @ 8:56 also m2c gave a link at 9:52 for an alternate site for the documents.
Is there an avidavid sworn out by Marty Sheffield? If someone knows where that is I would love to see it. jmo
I thought KP was JS employee.???
KP was supposed to be working for Crystal, BUT we all know it was Marie that was calling the shots.
didn’t Sheffield tell Cobra that KP said to fire him, and didn’t Sheffield’s mother-in-law hire him ?
Cobra worked for CS then JS then RK. KP worked for CS
yes cricket, that is what was said.

LOL, vaq, that is why I didn’t post the link again, didn’t want to make extra work for Jan when she had already approved the link out of moderation.
I found it, thanks. I will read it later, I don’t know how I missed this. I am sure Kendal Clark aka Pirate wrote this also.
Hey everyone, stopping in for a moment.
1. If Crystal had drugs in her system, I venture to guess they were “illegal” drugs. Drug tests are geared to test illegal drugs. If she is taking prescribed drugs, why would they test for that? HOWEVER, If something illegal shows in her system, such as Benzo’s, then the medical review dr. notes there is a prescription for those (i.e. Ativan) and there is no positive drug screen reported out.
2. Kim P, in my opinion is a complete moron and got herself into something way over her head when she hooked up with Crystal. She tried to pull her ‘lawyer’ moves in regard to putting the other parent in the dirt, to make her client look good. Divorce lawyers do it all the time and are like slimy snakes. In addition, she displayed her greedy stupidity on TV and that’s what got things going.
Yes, she would probably have to admit things truthfully to the BAR association if questioned in a hearing. HOWEVER, is she still a slimy snake lying through her teeth lawyer? Yep, you betcha, just like any other lawyer I know! Did she lie about Ron knowing that she was lying? Yep, you betcha, just like any other lawyer I know. And that is my experience from going through hell with a divorce. It is especially true when there are children involved. Its my opinion.
Kim P. wanted her 15 minutes of fame and she blew it!!
Did Kim P tell the truth about what she knows about Crystal from first hand? Lets hope so. Did Kim P tell the truth about Ron? Hmmm, well I don’t think she has a first hand. Kim P only knows what Crystal told her. WHICH, I am sure where exaggerated lies after lies. And that is mainly due to Money, Jealousy and Revenge on her part. She cared more about bad mouthing Ron than about finding Haleigh. Although, I do think Kim P took advantage of a weak link (Crystal) and exposed her to the public. That’s my opinion. (oh, and they are all bad liars too).
Why doesn’t some one play Misty’s tape at the airport to her to remind her, LE to remind them or her lawyer, she say’s on there,we will all know soon enough, so what is it Misty??
Hey guys, PC crashed this week Anything new
Sorry to hear that COOP. Well, we haven’t found Haleigh and we havent figured out who is responsible for her being missing. But, there are a few things that are new. At least I think they happened this week, lol. Tommy got moved to the jail where Ron is and no one really knows why. Something funky is going on with his docket information, in regards to his bail money. The Cummings, Croslins and Sheffields are all still lying, as well as LE, the Media and the Attorneys. And last, but certainly not least, the bloggers got in trouble for arguing and name calling over all of it! LOL, so you really didn’t miss much.
Has any of HaLeigh’s maternal relatives in Hastings, Fl been checked. Perhaps the Regans are friends with some of HaLeigh’s relatives there.
Lillymae, I bet they all know who each other are. I like to think that they are involved and that Haleigh is ok. If they are, then this whole thing has blown up in their faces and has gotten so far out of hand, that they can never admit the truth.

LOL! Those aren’t the only things we know….I could add lots of things to that list…
1. Crystal was $12000+ behind on child support and was facing jail for same.
2. Chad uses crack, which has to be the wackiest craziest drug out there. More than one child has been sold by a crackhead before.
3. Numerous RSOs lived close by, including Kyle Johns (very close), who may be related to Marie (nee Johns).
4. Chad Reynolds went missing days before, has a bad history in that area and has not been seen since.

Yep. I totally agree with both of you.
Well, I think LE knows they can’t charge anyone in this case and make it stick, so they have managed to get Misty and Tommy and Ron in jail to make up for it. There are many drug dealers and big time traffickers in Florida that they could of went after, but they set up this sting and honed in on them ‘on purpose’. I still say a good lawyer will go after ‘entrapment’ and if I was on the jury, I think I would have to agree with it.
All this time wasted on the drug issues takes away from Haleigh, finding Haleigh and who is responsible. LE resources, time and money is being spent to deal with the drugs. This tells me that LE is making ‘assumptions’ that they are guilty for something with Haleigh, which is not ok and they will get the sentences reduced or will get out of the charges all together. It’s corruption on the LE side, for sure!
me who is Chad Reynolds ?
Does anyone no where the Regan guys went ?
ME, never mind I went to look him up,I remember him now but didn’t no he was still missing, I thought he had been found.

etc etc etc

Response in order
1. I have read at different places the back child support owed was $12,000, $16,000 and $4,000. Very unlikely that she was facing jail time, this was a first appearance in the case and she could produce Dr.’s statement showing she couldn’t work.
2. Proof that Chad uses crack? Could be just ANOTHER internet rumor.
3. Absolutely no proof that Kyle Johns is any relation to Marie, again just ANOTHER internet RUMOR.
4. No idea who Chad Reynolds is and what if any his involvement in the case is.
Internet rumors do not count as facts known in the case.
Crystal could have a baby but couldn’t work? Why?
Crystal’s own father went to jail for owing back child support so why wouldn’t CS think it could happen to her. Not like she had just missed a payment or two, she owed 4 years.
Maybe she could have taken her doctors note into court along with her payment book for that nice car she was driving (until she totaled it) and her insurance premiums and show the judge why she could pay those but could not pay to support her own children.
Crack was found on the property that Chad and Crystal live on. Crystal’s own attorney stated the crack found on the property was Chads and Chad has a previous arrest for Cocaine. I think that is a little bit more evidence then an internet rumor.
Again, internet rumors, I have also read that up until 2 years ago Crystal was working and making regular support payments, lost her job due to the economy downturn and that she did not owe 4 years worth. Then she had a car accident while pregnant and was unable to work.
Internet rumors do not count as known facts.
Crack was found in the truck of a farm worker on property that Bruce Griffis owns. Absolutely no proof that the crack belonged to Chad.
If you hire a handy man to build a fence around your property and neighbors call the police to complain about the noise, and as the police are walking past the handyman’s truck parked in your driveway they see a bag of crack, does that mean the crack belongs to you and you should be arrested?
A farm worker? Where did that come from?
WhyLie–I agree with your statement about Crystal. If Crystal is not able to work because of her condition, then why don’t she file for disability? I hate to say this but if Crystal had been a man in the same situation she would have all ready sat in jail for being behind 12,000 in child support–probably more than once for that matter. At least in my state she would have and the judge could care less that she had a small daughter in her care–his main concern would have been the two children that deserved the support she was ordered to pay. She could have went to court and had her child support lowered if she was in such dire straits. This medical excuse does not excuse her arrearage at the time. I do believe that she did not have the first seizure until a couple days before Haleigh went missing (I read that in an article). She did not pay her court ordered child support and to me (only my opinion) there is absolutely NO excuse for that.
LadySadie, I looked up Chad Reynolds and it’s not just internet rumor it was put out by LE.
Actually WhyLie, the only place that I can even find that reported there was a crack pipe and a small amount of crack found in a truck owned by someone named Jesse Watkins was on ArtHarris.com so in my eyes that drugs were even found is just ANOTHER internet RUMOR.
Again, Cricket, I said I have no idea WHO Chad Reynolds is or WHAT his connection/involvement in Haleigh’s case is, I did not say someone named Chad Reynolds didn’t exist.
LadySadie,
If you look back in the early days of this case, Chad Reynolds was the first big suspect. He is an RSO who molested a child in Palatka previously, and had absconded just a few days before. There were lots of articles out about him way back when this first happened.
*me*, was it ever determined if he had any involvement in the Haleigh case?

Lillymae, I bet they all know who each other are. I like to think that they are involved and that Haleigh is ok. If they are, then this whole thing has blown up in their faces and has gotten so far out of hand, that they can never admit the truth.

And my response to yours.
1. Originally no one seemed to know the true amount, but court docs revealed it to be over 12k.
2. According to KP, the crack was Chad’s. Never denied by anyone.
3. Kyle Johns and Nancy Marie Johns are both from Satsuma, are close in age, and at least one of those people finder sites has them related. I did not say they were related, just that they may be. We don’t know if they are or aren’t. NO one has asked, as far as I am aware.
4. Lots of info about Chad Reynolds out there if you are interested….just google him.

————————–
Exactly, internet rumors do not count as facts, but you cited a whole para of them above. If you want the truth about how much was owed in child support, then check the court records rather than relying on the rumours you read.
Link to court doc that revealed the back child support to be over 12k?
Can KP really be believed? Why would you need to deny something that was only reported on artharris.com?
I have a very uncommon last name, there are 7 different families in St. Johns County with the exact same last name, 4 of the people are very close in age to me, ABSOLUTELY no relation at all.
Will google Chad Reynolds, was it ever determined if he had any connection/involvement in the Haleigh case?
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 8:32 pm Crack was found in the truck of a farm worker on property that Bruce Griffis owns. Absolutely no proof that the crack belonged to Chad.
————————
We went through this the other nite, and I cut and pasted KP’s documemnt for you at the relevant paragraph. You assured me you read it. So, why are you doing it again?
It was not a farm worker’s truck…lol…doesn’t matter how many times you type it.
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 9:08 pm Link to court doc that revealed the back child support to be over 12k?
———————–
Putnam County Clerk of Courts website has all the court records. You will find it there.
Chad Reynolds is still missing.
As I said, can KimP really be believed? The only place I can find that reported that any drugs were found during the search of the Griffis property was artharris.com and he reported the truck belonged to Jesse Watkins. Therefore it is just an internet rumor. Been searching the Putnam County Clerk of Courts website for the last 10 minutes still have not found a document stating the amount of back child support Crystal owed, will continue searching.
It doesn’t have to be determined if anyone had any connection/involvement in the Haleigh case. Chad Reynolds is just as much a suspect as the rest of them. Always has been. We don’t know any facts of ‘who was involved’ in Haleigh disappearing. That’s an open guess.
He is really suspect, esp. with his actions.
Im not sure why LE didn’t look for him more or why they can’t find him….lol, too busy trying to get Misty to confess to something she didn’t do, I suppose.
LadySadie,
This is from FoxNews on Feb 15/09 re Chad Reynolds…..
Police searching for missing 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings were notified about a missing Florida sex offender, but stopped short of calling the man a suspect in the girl’s disappearance, Ocala.com reports.
Chad Eugene Reynolds, 25, was last seen Feb. 1 leaving his mother’s home in Ochlawaha, Fla. — about two hours from Haleigh’s home — police said. He was reported missing on Feb. 4.
Reynolds reportedly borrowed a car from a friend and then later called to say the vehicle had broken down near the Marion/Lake County Lines, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. The car was located in an undisclosed location south of Marion County, but Reynolds was nowhere to be found.
Reynolds was sentenced in Putnum County — the same county where Haleigh was reported missing Feb. 10 — to seven years in prison for armed burglary and lewd and lascivious molestation of a child younger than 12. The incident happened in September of 2002.
Crystal was too busy getting high and spending her money on drugs to pay child support…in my opinion. She didn’t pay it when she was not disabled, then she surely can’t use disabled as an excuse as why she wasn’t paying it.
She may get Kim P to buy her BS, but not me. She knows a whole lot more than what she is saying, lol, which isn’t anything.
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 9:17 pm As I said, can KimP really be believed?

————————–
You probably already know this, but Art Harris was paid to become involved in this case, and basically worked for KP spinning Crystal’s story. KP also refers to how she had Art deal with the crack story in her response….she emailed Marie about it and in the same para. also talks about how he also helped out with the cut and paste pics of Crystal & Haleigh (not 100% sure they are cut & paste jobs but they look that way to me).
I wouldn’t rely on AH for my info. I don’t believe anything he says.
Just did another search of both criminal and civil dockets at Putnam County’s Clerk of Courts and still can not find any document that states the amount of back child support owed. *me* do you have a link to the court documents?
LadySadie,
Also, Jesse Watkins was a friend of Chad’s, not a farm worker. And when questioned by police he denied the vehicle was his. I really don’t know where you get this “farm worker” stuff from and why you keep repeating it? Did Art say it was a farm worker?

—————-
You can’t link the actual court documetns…the link will just default to their website.
If you look under civil, do Sheffield% in the name search column, then scroll through the cases, you will find the paternity case between her and Ron, click on that and you can read the whole court docket.
As I said INTERNET RUMORS ARE NOT FACTS. artharris reports that the truck was registered to Jesse Watkins, I read on some other site that the truck belonged to a farm worker. Again, as far as I am concerned they are all INTERNET RUMORS and it is possible that NO DRUGS were ever found.
Oh my goodness! So sorry about the repeat post above! Only meant to post it once and not sure how that happened! SORRY!
I hope that the Sheffield clan is responsible for HaLeigh’s disappearance. It is the only theory that bodes well for HaLeigh. I would rather they successfully hide her out for the rest of her normal life span than have any of the other theories be true. If they are never caught and punished, they have probably given HaLeigh a better life than she would have had in her past situation.
I hope that her father had nothing to do with her disappearance because that is the ultimate betrayal. Parents are supposed to love and protect their children at all costs. Whether or not he was directly involved, it appears he was not providing his children with a safe enviroment and was not what society considers a good role model.
Many people think that a 17 year old is incapable of pulling off such a crime and keeping LE at bay, with lies and constant story changes. Look at Joran Vander Sloot. He did it for 5 years. He was only 17 when Natalee Holloway disappeared and he was able to walk away free. While he had a well placed father with connections to the legal system, he still did not break. Their are people who are born liars, without a conscience and age is no indicator of who they are.
I have no problem with Misty getting 15 years. She admitted dealing drugs. Her own father warned her it was a set up. She appears to have been involved in the drug world for a while, and appeared to know her way around. She also shows no remorse for any of her actions. If she had continued down the path she was on, there is a very strong possibility she would not survive the next 15 years.
Anybody who saw that picture of Crystal and the kids didn’t have to be a photo expert that was obviously rigged.
LadySadie,
So if you think there were no drugs found…
1. You think LE lied to the press about finding the crack (why wouldn’t the family be up in arms if this was a lie?); and
2. KP imagined someone told her the truck and crack were Chad’s, and she passed that imaginary story onto the Bar Association, and the family never denied it?.
Umm. OK. We are all entitled to our own opinions.
OK, *me*, I looked at the paternity case and the only thing that I found that listed any monetary amount at all was the following:
06/16/2008 055.DOR INTERCEPT IN THE AMOUNT OF $48.00 ON 06/16/08
So where are you finding the court document that states Crystal owed $12,000 in back child support?
Cricket said,in June 26th, 2010 at 9:36 pm Anybody who saw that picture of Crystal and the kids didn’t have to be a photo expert that was obviously rigged.
————————
I formed the same opinion. Then when I read Kim’s email to Marie about how she got Art to deal with the problem, that sealed it for me.
You’d hope they’d have better things to do with their time than rig pics to try to make them look better. Just one of the many reasons I believe this has always been about money (the better the p.r. and image, the more they were gonna make and they knew this from the start) and never Haleigh for them. And one of the reasons they are at the top of my suspect list. With many others running a close second!

Read to the bottom….you’ll come across the part where the funds were frozen due to stolen identity.
Lady,
You might also want to re-read K’s response…I think she might also talk about it. Anyhow, you can google it and you’ll probably find other links elsewhere. Unlike many of the good posters here, I haven’t bookmarked much. There was a fair bit of info about the anonymous donor etc when it was all happening.
Did you blog anywhere before this?
Again, *me* the only place that I can find it “reported” that crack was found was at artharris.com, after all his unfounded “bombshells” I don’t consider him “press”, so did LE really give him the information or was it another of his “un-named sources”?
I will re-read KimP’s rebuttal to the bar complaint (having only read it twice today) but I don’t remember anywhere in there that she said the truck belonged to Chad. And KimP was protecting her own a$$ in that rebuttal, so…….
No I didn’t blog anywhere before here, just followed all the local/national news about Haleigh’s case as I live so close. Found this site about 3 months ago.
me, someone would have to be totally ignorant to put that picture out for real deal.
Kim, may have been a lawyer but has no common sense.
Does anyone know if Chad’s underage victim was a boy or a girl?

—————————————
I’m not sure about that. But given he was considered relevant to this investigation, I’d guess it was a girl. I know there is a thread at another website forum (one that I don’t recommend) dedicated to Chad Reynolds and I think there may be some info there re his first offence. If you are really interested I can see if I can find more about him….I haven’t read there for ages, don’t like the place.
OJ,
LOL. I’m not going down any rabbit holes….promise!
So, interesting article you posted on the other thread about the sarasota undercover drug squad….what a bunch of loser idiots. Are all 7 of them suspended?
me-Thanks= just that Megan’s Law only says child under 12, sex- unknown. Just thought if it had been a boy maybe they ruled him out even though he abscounded because HaLeigh was taken instead of jr. Of course with some of these offenders it doesn’t matter!

I can assure you, you started at the best place then! When you get some time, you might want to read through some of the really old thread topics. There was lots discussed here (thanks to TJ Hart & others) that wasn’t reported in mainstream media, and the stuff from TJ is solid and reliable.
Alexandria,
Yes, I don’t think the victim’s gender is reported on the RSO website. I am going to check that thread though as I think someone may have had some details from a newspaper article or something. I’ll be back in 5-10 and let you know what I find.
Me I would think someone with common sense would want to see anything that was being offered up for my client. wasn’t AH being paid by KP.
http://offender.fdle.state.fl.us
just go to that website and there is Chad’s picture!
I read on websleuths that he:
On Sep. 3, 2002, Reynolds broke into a doublewide mobile home in Interlachen, which is west of Palatka. He was 19. He had a small pocketknife and it was late at night.\
He stole cash. He also used the knife to cut away a section of the shorts and underwear of an 11-year-old girl and then touched her private area, the records showed. He was sentenced to serve seven years in prison (with credit for time served in jail awaiting resolution of his case) and 10 years of special probation for sex offenders.
Me- thanks- you can call me Alex- When i get called Alexandria I go back to school days as that’s what the nuns would call me or my mom when she was upset with me!
I don’t know how much Crystal owed in back child support but I do know according to court documents that she was ordered to pay over 300 dollars a month in child support. One year behind would make it around 3600 dollars (give or take a few dollars) so I believe that 12000 behind is more accurate (but my opinion only). Though I cannot find an accurate reporting of the approximate arrearage, be it 4000 or 12000 she owed it to her children to pay it!
Motives: Money, Revenge, Jealousy.
Every crime has a Motive.
The Motive can be personal too regarding a need. Addiction, Sexual, Control, or a perceived need (due to distorted thought process).
Just my opinion.
robin- in my county, it’s contempt of court for not paying child support. It’s 5 days in PC for each month missed, then they take away your driver’s license & tell you to go dumpster diving for recycleables to help pay the support! They don’t want any excuse.
Yes, I liked OJ’s article regarding the Sarasota officers also, it is nice to see a Police Department holding their officers to high standards.
JenM, in this case it could also be that it was just an accident, re: Ron could have fatally injured Haleigh and the rest went into protect Ron mode and cover up mode.

Does it say illegal drugs or just drugs? Because if she had a priscribed medication during prgnancy (which does happen) it would be a none issue. And since she was in a car wreck while pregnant it could very well be a prescribed med. jmo
+++++++++++
Crystal was 3 approximately 3 months pregnant when she had her car wreck wreck:
Her car accident was October 5, 2007.
Chloe was born April 15, 2008.
Doctors do NOT give narcotics while pregnant that early in a pregnancy. Of that I am absolutely certain. And if she were given narcotics 6 months earlier, they would not show up in her system when she had Chloe in April of the following year. Doctors would not give her continuous narcotics throughout a pregnancy.
And to whomever stated that the “only” proof that drugs were found during the search of the Griffis farm, there was an article in the Baker County paper. I’ll try to find the link.
This is what I remember from research done at the begining of Haleigh’s case.
Chad Reynolds broke into a MH in Putnam county (I believe Palatka but not sure) and sexually assaulted a little girl while her sister was also asleep in the same room and the parents down the hall. CR was living in St Petersburg at the time but was from Putnam county. He was charged with Lewd and Las, victim under 12. He was also charged with burglary while armed, he had a knife that he threatened the child with.
whylie- thank you!
The link is now dead at Baker County press, but here is a snip from it:
“An officer taking part in the search from the Palatka Police Department found two crack pipes and a plastic container with cocaine residue inside a pickup truck parked at the property, according to a report from Deputy Jerald Peterson of the Baker County Sheriff’s Office.”
ORIGINAL LINK:
http://bakercountypress.com/index.ph…=2322&Itemid=1
(If you do not want to take my word that it existed, it is quoted at Websleuth in the media thread. I am not sure if Jan wants me to link to Websleuth. If she will allow it, I will be more than happy to link there. If not, anyone can find it themselves. It is on page 21 of the MEDIA/LINKS ONLY thread. Post #513)
J I can’t find the Baker County press article anymore. I searched. Maybe one of the other sites, WS or SM has it posted.
Your welcome Alex.
Oh another thing I remember, Chad was 18 at the time he offended, LE found blood at the MH at the point of entrance/exit from the home and matched it to Chad. To me that would mean that Chad’s dna must have been on file, perhaps from a sexual offense when he was a minor. I can’t think of any other reason that they would have been able to get a match.
WhyLie,
As usual, the monkey site has the entire thing copied. I don’t think Jan likes us to link there. But it IS there. It’s also copied to another forum “Help Find the Missing” in a cache. I’m not sure if I should copy that link here (well, the cached link)?
I think the snippet I posted has the relevant info… that drugs were found and it was in the mainstream media and not just on Art’s site, but in Crystal and Marie’s local newspaper.
I’m reading through all the info re Chad Reynolds and some early posts elsewhere were saying that his grandparents lived at Lake Crescent, which is quite close to where Haleigh was living.
WhyLie- Wow
! and he got out so soon? Do the judges get to see an offenders Juvie record in Florida?
J I remember reading it in the Baker county paper.
I have cut and pasted this from a post of LFlorida’s at WS….I haven’t been able to find the article elsewhere….I hope I haven’t broken any rules??…here it is.
From the Palatka Daily News web archives -
Sex offender sentenced to 7 years
by
Published: Tuesday, July 6, 2004 10:31 AM EDT
Brad Buck
The Palatka Daily News
Tears streamed from the faces of both the victim’s family and
those of the accused as a circuit judge sentenced a young man
Wednesday to seven years in prison followed by 10 years probation
for molesting an 11-year-old girl last fall.
The father of the victim said his daughter would be traumatized
for life by the actions of 20-year-old Chad Eugene Reynolds.
“She’s been violated in the worst way,” the father
said. “She’s got to live with this for the rest of her life.
When she looks back on her childhood, she’ll remember this. It’s
one of the worst crimes you can commit.”
The father also said that he has been abused as a child and that
he had consumed alcohol and drugs. “I’ve been down the same
road. But that does not justify what he did.” He asked the
judge to sentence Reynolds to life in prison.
Assistant State Attorney Ralph Rowe asked Hedstrom to give Reynolds
nine and a half years in prison.
“This case has struck me like no other case in my 27 years
of practicing law,” said Assistant Public Defender John
Stephenson. “Certainly, Mr. Reynolds doesn’t think he has
a right to do this. He doesn’t.”
Hedstrom asked Reynolds if he had anything to say before sentencing.
Reynolds, who had been looking down at the floor during the hearing,
turned around to the family and apologized.
“If I could take it back, I would,” he said.
Reynolds will also have to register as a sex offender under Hedstrom’s
ruling.
The charges stem from an incident at 11 p.m. Sept. 3, 2002, in
which Putnam County sheriff’s deputies say Reynolds crawled into
a bedroom of an Interlachen home armed with a knife and allegedly
committed a sex act on the girl, who was asleep, Lt. Gary Bowling
of the sheriff’s office said. Another child was sleeping in the
room, sheriff’s reports show.
When one of the children ran screaming into the parents’ room,
Reynolds escaped briefly, then was caught later by deputies,
Bowling said.
Reynolds pleaded no contest in June to charges of lewd and lascivious
molestation, burglary of a dwelling while armed with a knife
and petty theft, court records show.
Hedstrom warned Reynolds that he could have given him life in
prison and that if he messes up during probation, he could very
well wind up in prison for life.
Alex I don’t know if they can see a juvie record or not. He got 7 years, I believe, and 10 years probation.
And from another of LFlorida’s WS posts, a copy of Chad’s sister’s obituary (RIP…such a young lady) which shows he has relatives in the area….

Ha ha ha. I assume you are being sarcastic. Hardly sounded like a “high standard” of behaviour to me! I am sure glad there were civilian witnesses. How dumb can undercovers be as to go out and get drunk and all 7 of them blow their cover? What a waste of taxpayer money training those idiots, and I can only imagine how many cases will now be reviewed due to their bizarre, far less than professional, conduct.
WhyLie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 10:38 pm This is what I remember from research done at the begining of Haleigh’s case.
Chad Reynolds broke into a MH in Putnam county (I believe Palatka but not sure) and sexually assaulted a little girl while her sister was also asleep in the same room and the parents down the hall. CR was living in St Petersburg at the time but was from Putnam county. He was charged with Lewd and Las, victim under 12. He was also charged with burglary while armed, he had a knife that he threatened the child with.
——————————————
You have a great memory! Thank you for that. I have always thought he was a real possibility for the person who took Haleigh. Now that I’ve been reminded of his m.o., it frightens me.
me, his m.o. is scary.
me & whylie- Thank you!

As I said INTERNET RUMORS ARE NOT FACTS. artharris reports that the truck was registered to Jesse Watkins, I read on some other site that the truck belonged to a farm worker. Again, as far as I am concerned they are all INTERNET RUMORS and it is possible that NO DRUGS were ever found.
——–
He reported that it was Jesse Watkins because that is what he was told by that side. Art was no where near FL at the time and hadn’t been for many months, he repeats what he’s been told by “sources close to the investigation” Peggy Cone was the one that found the stuff in the pickup.
*me*, actually I was being serious, officers were disciplined for doing something that was unbecoming of an officer but not illegal. Did any of the 7 Sarasota officers have any hand in the Haleigh case? If not what is the relevance of the article in regards to the Haleigh case?
Chad had only been out of prison for 3 months when Haleigh went missing. He was last heard from on the 3rd of Feb, just 6 days before Haleigh went missing.
WhyLie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 11:20 pm me, his m.o. is scary.
—————————-
It sure is. He had no problems doing it with another child sleeping in the room and parents asleep in the house. Very frightening. I have no idea how LE could not have put more focus on him.
So, if this Chad person had anything to do with whatever happened to Haleigh, why is Misty protecting him?
WhyLie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 10:52 pm J I can’t find the Baker County press article anymore. I searched. Maybe one of the other sites, WS or SM has it posted.
——————————–
I read that article when it first came out. So many of the olders news articles don’t come up on a regular google news search. I wish they did!
Maybe Misty isn’t protecting anybody. Maybe Misty was actually sleeping or not home and doesn’t have a clue what happened to Haleigh.
So is Chad about Ron’s age ? If so did they go to school together?
So if Misty isn’t protecting anyone, why all her lies, why can’t she pass a LDT, why has she changed her story so many times?

Again, internet rumors, I have also read that up until 2 years ago Crystal was working and making regular support payments, lost her job due to the economy downturn and that she did not owe 4 years worth. Then she had a car accident while pregnant and was unable to work.
Internet rumors do not count as known facts.
—————
Crystal was supposed to start paying CS in Feb 06 and pay the minimum amount allowed by law. Three years went by before the state filed on her. Crystal worked at a barbeque joint for a little while and didn’t even have the child support taken from her check when she did work. None of that is internet rumors. A lady in TX sent 3 checks to Kim to give to the department of revenue, they totaled over 12,000. Again not rumor. Outside of a few hundred dollars Crystal didn’t pay any support what so ever.
Why the very strange 911 call? Why does Misty say “your hurting me”, who is the third voice in the background of the 911 call?

—————————————–
From the article…
“According to an internal affairs report, the men ordered more than three dozen alcoholic drinks, hassled waitresses and patrons and snapped illicit pictures of themselves in the bathroom.
The report states that officials could not conclude whether the deputies were drunk when they drove their county vehicles later that night.”
Doesn’t sound like very high standard to me….and not just one or two bad apples…7 of them! And if they were driving drunk, they certainly should be kicked out of LE.
Lady,
As for whether or not they were involved in Haleigh’s case, I doubt we’ll ever know. I doubt the undercover officer’s identity will be revealed and he will probably be allowed to use a pseudonym in court (at least that would happen where I live).
vaq, you have seen the 3 checks sent to Kim P? You have seen that they totaled over $12,000? How is it not rumor if the information only came from Kim P?
I don’t know that she hasn’t passed a LDT, nor do you, since LE has NOT released their results. I see small inconsistencies in her story BUT the major parts have always been the same. She put Haleigh to bed at 8, covered her at 10, she went to bed, woke up Haleigh was gone. She has not wavered from that that I have heard.
I do not think saying she got up to pee or to get a drink as anything major. Something woke her, she probably has no idea what it was, if it was somebody in the house, or she had to pee, or she was thirsty. Something woke her, and Haleigh was gone. That has not changed in 16 months.
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 11:27 pm So, if this Chad person had anything to do with whatever happened to Haleigh, why is Misty protecting him?
————————–
What makes you think Misty is protecting him? Why do you think she’d do that? I find that very difficult to believe. He’s already committed a similar crime once with someone sleepng in the room and parents in the house sleeping.
We don’t know if the Sarasota officers were driving drunk, the investigation was unable to determine that. Yes I consider the department did the right thing by discipline the officers for conduct unbecoming. Since they were unable to determine if the officers actually did anything illegal, I am surprised that they did anything at all. So I consider it honorable that the department disciplined them at all.
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 11:31 pm So if Misty isn’t protecting anyone, why all her lies, why can’t she pass a LDT, why has she changed her story so many times?

Why couldn’t Jessica Lunsford’s grandfather pass a lie detector test?
I don’t think she’s changed her story in any big way. We have no idea what she’s told LE, but we do know that after her first LDT LE said they were satisfied with the results.
Lie detectors are extremely unreliable, and aren’t allowed in Court for that very reason.
And I find it very unlikely that Sarasota officers had anything to do with a Putnam County case.
Well somebody paid Crystal’s back child support or the contempt hearing would not have been canceled, and I doubt anybody believes it was Crystal that paid it.
No *me* LE did not say they were satisfied with the results, Ron said she passed, big difference.

———————————–
Did you not scroll down on the Court docket like I told you to? It’s all there.
Well, WhyLie, in KimP’s rebuttal, she stated that Chad and Crystal told her they could get a loan from a family member to pay the back child support.
*me*, I did scroll down and the only monetary amount listed on the entire docket was $48 dollars.
LadySadie said,in June 26th, 2010 at 11:42 pm No *me* LE did not say they were satisfied with the results, Ron said she passed, big difference.

Thank you for that! I forgot they were there. I wonder what the identity theft was about? Very odd.
*me*, the dockets do not list a monetary amount. You said the court dockets showed that Crystal owed $12,000 in back child support, the court dockets do not show a monetary amount of back child support owed.
When John Walsh featured Haleigh on AMW, he stated that LE had confirmed that both Ron and Misty had taken LDT and they were satisfied with the results.
Those were cashier’s checks, you either have to pay cash for them or show verifiable ID if you are writing a check or using a checking or savings account to purchase it! Why are they made out to Kim P ?
Ahhh, yes, artharris site, the checks could have been altered or faked, they were supposedly sent to Kim P not Crystal so really who is guilty of identity theft?
Here is the entry in the court documents:
***
06/18/2009 063.MEMO FROM FINANCE TO KIM PICAZIO: PAYMENT OF UNCOLLECTED
06/18/2009 FUNDS HOLD DUE TO IDENTIFY THEFT
****
The memo regarding identify theft was sent to Kim Picazio, so who committed Identify Theft? The checks were supposedly sent to Kim Picazio, so who committed Identify Theft?
To funny, Crystal couldn’t work and earn enough money to pay a measly 300 dollars a month to help support her children but her and Chad could come up with over 12,000 to keep Crystal out of jail.
Hey WhyLie, I will repeat my standard statement (altered due to Haleigh having 2 younger brothers and a younger sister)
I have yet to hear of one decent ADULT human being related to Haleigh, poor baby!
Seems to me that Haleigh would have been better off being raised by a pack of wolves.

He who?
Jacksonville FLDE is much closer to Satsuma than Sarasota, it is more likely that any UC officers involved in the drug operation were from Jacksonville than Sarasota.
Actually, there is a FDLE station in St. Augustine, it is more likely that the undercover operation was run out of the St. Augustine office.

————————————-
Yep. I clearly recall LE making that statement very shortly after Haleigh went missing. It’s on video and it was back when all the press etc were set up down there. So, she must have passed her first one. Perhaps she just got more and more frightened as time went on and that’s why she failed the others.
The St. Augustine FLDE office is located on SR 16, very close to I95 and just 2 exits from the FlyingJay that Donna and Misty dealt drugs from. I used to pass it everyday when I lived in a community off of SR 16.

—————————————–
You are right. That particular court document doesn’t state the amount of $12k. It does refer to funds being held due to identity theft, but no monetary amount. Anyhow, hopefully now that J’s been nice enough to get us the info from Art’s site you now accept it was 12k+? Anyhow, if you don’t, that’s ok, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Satisfied with the results does not mean that anyone “passed” the test, LE could have been satisfied that they were lying on the test.

Yes *me* will will have to agree to disagree, because I find artharris’s site very unreliable. The checks posted on his site could have been altered or faked.
WhyLie–It also was reported in many of the local papers (about LE being satisfied with Ron and Misty’s LDT results). I remember reading that very same thing.

No idea who, if anyone, committed identity theft. It is peculiar. Maybe just a mix up?
Or it could have been that who ever purchased the money order/cashier checks stole someone else’s identity and purchased the checks under the stolen identity. Or it could be that Kim P. altered the checks. We have no idea.

Thx for that. I don’t know Fla. geography like you! But I still think there’s a chance it was a Sarasota LE. I know where I live they use cops from all over the state. They have to be entirely unknown to the community as being an LE, so usually they don’t do their undercover work close to home where there’s a chance someone might recognize them. Perhaps it’s different in Fla.
IIRC, when KP was posting on WS, she herself stated that she had wrote a check to the Court to get a copy of records. I believe the check she wrote was for $3 or some small amount. That was where the “identity theft” stemmed from, a problem with the check she wrote to the Court, not the checks from the (not-so) “Mystery-Donor”.
I’m sure that there are people that have copies of all of Kim’s postings there and could probably verify this info.
LadySadie said,in June 27th, 2010 at 12:11 am Satisfied with the results does not mean that anyone “passed” the test, LE could have been satisfied that they were lying on the test.
—————————–
Frankly, imo, they are sooooo unreliable, that even if Crystal failed 100 of them, I wouldn’t suggest it pointed to guilt in any way. Their reliability is only slightly better than chance. If PCSO only investigated based on those results, they may as well have flipped a coin. Poor Haleigh. LE in Jessica Lunsford’s case made the same mistake. IMO.
Or it could be that after Crystal fired Kim P. that Kim P. decided that since the checks were sent to her she wanted to keep them for herself and filed a complaint for them being put towards Crystal’s back child support since they were written out to her and not Crystal, thus claiming identity theft.

LOL. I find his site unreliable too. Though I don’t consider him to be an objective journalist, and I imagine him & KP may have gotten up to some skulldudgery, I doubt he & Kim forged and posted checks to the internet and that no one from the Griffis or Sheffields ever said anything. But you may be right. Why do you think they’d do that?

But Crystal was obviously concerned about image, and there had been criticism that she didn’t have any photos of her with Haleigh, then that one popped up. Heck if I know?! LOL.

She says Cobra asked her to and I think he says the same? I am guessing the 15 minutes part played a role in her wanting to be involved. What lawyer doesn’t like to get their mug on tv?
LOL, *me*, I don’t think either Crystal or Marie are tech savvy enough to have altered that photo, but Kim would have had someone on her staff that was.
BTW, where I live, the Bar Rules effectively muzzle our lawyers. Lawyers can’t talk to the press like they do in the USA or they’d be disbarred. Not really allowed to say anything til after the case is finished…which I think is a good thing.
Re the photo, you’d be surprised how easy it is to do that stuff on photoshop and how many ordinary home computer users can do it. I sure hope Kim didn’t advise them to do it! I think it would have been in their complaint to the Bar if she’d done that.
LOL, *me*, Kim says she was to be the “family” spokesperson then in the same rebuttal says she only worked for Crystal.
I will say this, if Kim’s plan was publicity, it sure backfired on her. I would NEVER hire her to even be my dog walker.

++++++++++++
I do agree that Kim wanted her “15 minutes” of fame. (IMO, it was like infamy”)
Also, Ft. Lauderale to Satsuma is only “Travel Estimate: 290.96 miles”
And, even though she’s been off this case for almost a year, she is STILL getting her face on tv as recently as approximately a month ago (on JVM). So her “15 minutes” is still dragging on, unfortunately.
I purchased a $5000.00 Cashier’s Check at
B of A several years ago. Even though my account was at that bank & I used my atm card & pin# for the funds,I was still required to show my drivers licence along with my picture ID card. Maybe Chase is different!
290 miles? Damn the drive sure seems a lot further and longer when you actually make it.
Hmmm, Alex, I have never bought a cashier’s check for $5000, but I have for less than $1000 at B of A several times, never had to show any ID, just wrote the check from my B of A checking account.

I’m not in Canada…I think quite a few places muzzle their lawyers. I can see why you like the way it’s done in the USA. But I do think we have far less risk of juries becoming biased by the reporting and/or seeing evidence that is not admissible at trial. Here all the inadmissibile stuff comes out in the press the day after the trial finishes…if it comes out before, we’d usually abort the trial and wait til the press died down to run it again. Our trials are reported on while they are going on, but the press usually don’t print “sub-judice” material, and if they do, they face the wrath of the Judge for wasting taxpayers dollars by aborting the trial. We also don’t sequester our jurors.
vaq, see so many of the posts above, was it really her you were posting with or someone pretending to be this mystery person? Do you really “know” the person that sent the money or just someone claiming to have sent the money?
I should add too…things like Werter telling the public his client was taking a LDT etc wouldn’t have happened (while interesting to know, don’t see how it was in his client’s best interests to go public with that), Baez wouldn’t have been allowed to talk here, Kim would have missed out on NG appearances etc etc. You really think it’s all bad? LOL.
LOL, *me*, I am still waiting to get my jury summons in early August. It’s been about 3 years since my last one and they seem to come every 3 years. I do believe it will be real easy for me to get excused if I do get a summons for Misty’s trial.
LadySadie- if I ever have to do it again, I’ll try writing a check instead of using atm card and see what happens! Since it was a family emergency I hope I never have to do it again!
LadySadie,
LOL. I agree. Just show them your posts and they’d have you out of there in no time! I never sat on a jury. I imagine it can be very stressful.
Alex, I have done it for things like my daughters college tuition and sending a family member money for an emergency. Never had to show and ID but I did write the check for the cashier’s check directly from my B of A checking account.

Child support checks are made to the Department of Revenue.
I am trying to track down what Kim posted on WS about that identity theft issue, so I can remember exactly what she said. I’m starting to doze off, so I may not be able to clear that up until tomorrow. I almost 100% that Kim said she wrote a check to the Court to get some records (nothing to do with Crystal’s child support, other than trying to clear up exactly how much was owed, perhaps)
That “story” didn’t make a lot of sense to me at the time because the Court isn’t the one keeping track of child support, the DOR is in charge of support and arrearages. But, that is what KP posted at the time.
Thank you J!
So, J, I would find the information very suspect if it was Kim P posting it on a blog. How is it ethical for a lawyer to be blogging about her client?
More reason that I would never even hire Kim P. to be my dogs pooper scooper.

The person that sent the money was definitely posting on the forums.
I am not going to “out” her on here. But, people figured out who she is from some of the information that we had and a newspaper article she appeared in (mainstream media).
There are some talented sleuthers following this case.
When the person was “asked” if it was her, (well confronted, I guess is a better word) at one point, she admitted it was her. But she wasn’t the one that came out and said “Hey, I’m the one that paid Crystal’s child support!!”
Alex,
LOL. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in that jury room if it goes to trial.
I think she might beat at least the most serious charges, like the one where LE supplies them the large amount on credit. Also, when the LE insists on giving her $100 for herself even though she didn’t ask for it….that should have set off alarm bells for her….I really don’t think she’s nearly as bright as many give her credit for.

Nah. He’s a sweetie. Plus, he wouldn’t need you for anything. He’d be saying “not guilty” no matter what, and it just takes 1 of him for her not to be convicted.
*me*, I don’t think Misty will be able to beat any of the charges, they have them all on video.

LMAO, I have never accused KP of being ethical.
I think it is horrifying that an attorney was posting online about an active case (or ANY case). I think it is horrifying that an attorney was speaking to strangers off the internet. I think it is horrifying an attorney would do many of the things KP did during the time she represented Crystal. There are many ethical attorneys.
That said, I don’t really believe there is any doubt that the amount of child support paid totals the amounts that are posted on Baldy’s website. Do I buy KP’s story of the “identity theft” thing? Don’t know and don’t care. I was slightly curious at the time, but in the big picture, I’m a whole lot more curious where HaLeigh is and what PCSO is doing to bring her home.

But really OJ would probably get the bad end of that deal, as I am a woman that will stand up for myself, and heaven help the person that tried to hurt me, they would find themselves in a world of hurt.

——————————
The video only tells part of the story, and will be but one piece of evidence submitted at her trial. There will also be oral testimony, phone records, and LE will be cross-examined. The jury will need to consider the fact that the cop insisted on giving Misty $100 that was not part of the drug deal. LE will argue she stood to profit from it…her lawyer will say it was not part of the deal, she didn’t ask for it etc. It’s not that simple. And there will be issues re the supply by the cop to them where they were given credit…which raises serious issues of entrapment. It won’t be as cut and dry as you think.

vaq, see so many of the posts above, was it really her you were posting with or someone pretending to be this mystery person? Do you really “know” the person that sent the money or just someone claiming to have sent the money?
============
most definitely her
I think I am joining J in the having trouble staying awake. LOL
LadieSadie- I would hope not but I would imagine that it would be a very interesting debate because you would actually have facts in front of you, that we do not.
I have always felt that Ron is the guilty party if it isn’t a sex offender and that Misty knows what happened, That is still my opinion even though I have no facts to prove it. Ialso have no facts about SOs or any other person involved in this case!
LadySadie said,in June 27th, 2010 at 1:16 am Ha, guess you haven’t noticed all the times OJ has attacked me on these boards. I have had to complain to Jan several times about the attacks.
———————————-
Is he attacking you or defending his mates that he feels are being attacked? Anyhow, hopefully we can all get along.
And again *me* you and I will have to agree to disagree, I find nothing “sweet” about OJ. But I do very much enjoy our discussions and our being able to put forth our differing views with out being rude to each other. Your views give me things to think about and hopefully mine give you something to thing about. I find it very intellectually stimulating when we agree to disagree but still both continue the discussion.
And with that I am going to join J and vaq in wishing all a goodnight and don’t let the bedbugs bite, LOL.
As do I, and hope we can continue this way.
OJ is harmless, and protective of his friends here. He holds strong opinions, and doesn’t always state them the same way some of us might, but he certainly knows the case, and comes back day after day for Haleigh. Frankly, I agree with his opinion that Misty likely doesn’t know anything….well he says “certainly”, I say “most likely”. I think she was probably asleep or out.
Hopefully the two of you will be able to get along soon.
And I’ll get something to eat!
Good night Lady. Hopefully you wake to good news re Haleigh.

So interesting how we can all look at the same things and yet see such different things. Ron is the only one I have been convinced of from day one has nothing to do with Haleigh going missing. Let’s hope they find her safe and sound soon and all our questions are answered.
me- Amen to that! It’s way, way past my bedtime! Goodnight all!
Good night Alex.
Hey, just checking in. I was out late.
(I say never be to smug or sure about things, as some people never suspect the person they trust the most. And they, for some reason, never know about the knife at their back just waiting to be twisted. Just depends on which way the wind blows.)
I think the only thing Misty is/was protecting was the use and abuse of drugs and possible drugs in the house? I see her story as pretty consistent too. As far as the ‘lies’, I think LE likes to take what she says and make it what they want and so does Media.
Also, if Misty was protecting Ron, why would he reportedly be testifying against her? Makes no sense if she is his supposed alibi….to me anyway.
Also, I could swear that AH helped CS make that picture.
Jen,
Hope you had a great night out!
And ITA re Misty protecting Ron.
good morning…
hello and blessed Sunday…
lots of interesting blogs to catch up on.
I think the problem lies in that some posters here have followed the case since day one. There was a lot of research done early on. Most of the regular posters/readers of certain sites know who the “mysterious” donor for the child support money was/is.
If I remember correctly, the donor sent KP the cashier checks and then KP sent a check to the courts for the child support. During that period KP paid the costs of some doc copies and the check bounced. There was some big tadoo about somebody hacking into her computer and compromising her bank account/s.
As far as the pictures being photoshopped, well just look at them and decide for yourself, it is very obvious.
JenM @4:44am- imo Ron doesn’t need Misty anymore, jr is taken away from him, Misty is branded a liar and if he can add to her burden maybe he will get a lighter sentence. Misty, imo, never had a childhood and she sure wasn’t someone Ron should have picked as mother figure to his children, her hanging with Amber & Nay Nay. Of course Amber wasn’t a mother figure either. Crystal doesn’t get a pass as a parent either but I really don’t think she cared enough about the children to want them. It was a mistake on both Ron & Crystal’s part to get together as they were a toxic couple feeding off each other.
Nancy Grace, imo, didn’t do Ron any good defending him up to heaven and now it seems like she dropped him like a hot potato!
But I still don’t want it to be Ron because I want to beleive that HaLeigh had some parental love in her life.
Misty’s attorney has already taken the depositions in her case and he is proceeding to trial, at least at this point he still is. He may have gotten some good info during those depos that makes him believe that Misty was entrapped and the only reason that LE focused on her was because Haleigh is missing.
If LE received info that Misty and Ron were selling drugs, then how many times did the UC contact Ron, or any of the others, to get them to buy/sell drugs for him? If he only contacted Misty then that makes it look like LE was targeting her. If Misty told him no and he persisted even offering her money and/or pills in exchange for her “scoring” for him, then that could be entrapment.
Fields has pretty much stayed out of the limelight and seems to know what he is doing. Time will tell.
misty is going to walk..
and I’ll be there to pick her up in a limo
and take her to celebrate at the top of four seasons, where I will advise her on preparing lawsuits for false arrest and defamation of charactor.
Good morning all, and what a beautiful, rainy, Minnesota sunday morning it is… I love it.It feels great to be typing this from a room that doesn’t have wheels under it..lol. OJ, I have a hard time believing that misty will walk. Why should she? She was recorded on tape trafficing drugs. Here in Minnesota, thats against the law, as it is in Florida. I will agree that the bonds for each of these was unreasonably high, except for ron, due to his history of drug charges. It’s obvious that he learned nothing from the many slaps on the wrist he received in the past, but do you really think that any of them deserve a free pass? Don’t get me wrong, If misty were being charged with Haleighs disappearance, then yes, they have no evidence, no witnesses, nothing to base a case on but the drug charges are cut and dried in my opinion.
I think the jurers will say guilty, they are from Florida and I believe everyone down there is sick and tired of all the drugs. And when they see the unredacted tapes its open and shut. You have to remember too all of the problems down in Florida with the teen beatings etc., people are tired of it. jmo
OJ- I think Misty will be found guilty but I hope she gets the minimum with sentences runnig concurrent. It will give her time to clean up, get an education and still be young enough to start a new life’
I think Fields is buying time and thats why he doesnt care about the 2 cases being on the same day, they will plead out on the case. imho
All it takes is one juror and from reading the posts made about PCSO by disgruntled citizens of Putnam county, I can see them getting at least one juror who will believe Misty was targeted because of Haleigh being missing.
Misty will get 25 for the Putnam cases and 15 for the St. Johns case.jmo
Even T.Shoemaker said they have to work with the hand they are given, which means he knows a jury trial wont work to their advantage, no other lawyer except Fields wants to go to trial.I have checked some of his cases and did anyone know he represented one of the slave camp owners? He also lost that case, the guy got 15 years. Google it, it happened in Putnam in June 2005. jmo
Misty is the only one that may have been entrapped. If the others were not contacted by the UC then there is no entrapment possibility in their cases, thus no reason for the others to go to trial if they can get a deal.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I hope so too Alex… the only problem is that the minimum is 25 years isn’t it? If thats the case then thats a long time. she will become institutionalized and I think it will work against her trying to beter her life. She’s too young. My God, she just turned 18, what chance does she have of learning to be a good citizen? She will learn how to live the life of an inmate. Her future is bleek, and it’s very sad. On the other hand, if she had anything to do with Haleighs disappearance, I mean if she was responsible for Haleighs demise, then she deserves to be locked up indefinately. I guess I’m having trouble believing that she is. I think she would have spoken up by now. Who wouldn’t?
How can you entrap someone 8 times? Really? She was not entrapped, she could have said no, she could have called LE, she could have used block caller on her phone if he called her too much( which we dont know for a fact he did) I really cant see her getting off on any of the charges. imho
I’m with you tobias.
Goodmorning!
Why wouldn’t Ron need Misty anymore? This isn’t over by any means. He agreed to testify against her in the drug case. Therefore, if she is covering for him for something to do with Haleigh, why would she continue to do so? That makes no sense to me. She is not going to spend the rest of her life in prison for someone who ratted her out on the drug case.
*I think they are all branded liars.
As far as their childhood and who should or shouldn’t be a mother or a father or a parent, or who they pick as friends, has nothing to do with Haleith being missing. Parental love or non parental love does not mean you harmed your child or someone else’s, nor does it give you a reason or a motive.
I still don’t see any reason or motive for Ron to be involved in harming Haleigh, etc.
I also think that if Ron is testifying against Misty for the drugs, LE has convinced him he can get his sentence reduced. BUT on the other side of the coin, its not that they are trying to help out Ron. No, I believe there is a method to LE’s madness, and it is that they need Ron’s testimony on the drugs to back up their stupidity on this entrapment…uh, I mean drug bust.
Meanwhile, LE keeps hoping that someone will also back them up by testifying against Misty on the Haleigh case, because they screwed that up too by solefy focusing on her. Look where things are a year and a half later!! No where.
This whole circus is created by LE, because they are back peddling as fast as they can. But they forgot to look where they are going!!
Just one of my many opinions.
Also if you notice all the ones down there who are posting about PCSD are peed off at them because they havent cleaned up the drugs. So now is their chance to clean it up as a jury. Sorry but people down there sound like they are sick of all the drug dealers. jmo
Jen, The deal was made by Rons lawyer and LE has not taken the deal. They dont need Ron at all. They did give a deal to Donna, lesser charges 15 years and her testimony against Misty. jmo
I thik it’s quite possible that the only thing misty is guilty of when it comes to Haleigh is child endangerment… I think it’s quite possible that she did leave that night and something happened while she was gone. If this is true, what could they charge her with? child endangerment? What kind of sentence does that carry? just curious
I also really don’t think Misty will get off on any of her charges. What I really hope is happening is that her lawyer is working with the two different counties and trying to get all the charges combined into one county. That way Misty could make a plea where she goes before just one judge and then have the opportunity to be sentenced under the Youthful Offender (YO) statute. If sentenced under the YO status she could be sentenced to 4 years in a YO facility where she would get mandatory drug rehab and have the opportunity to get her GED. The YO facilities here also offer vocational training in many different areas of study, one of which is cosmetology. Misty could have the chance to get herself clean and sober, get an education and be trained in a career where after her 4 years in the YO facility she would then be placed on 2 years highly supervised probation. That is the only hope I see for Misty ever having a chance to break the generational cycle of drug abuse, poverty, lack of education and child neglect. If she were set free today within weeks she would be back on the streets doing or dealing drugs and hooking up with whatever guy could supply or pay her for drugs.
Yes, I agree Tobias that people in Florida are probably tired of all the drug dealers. I believe that they are wanting to get rid of
the big time dealers or traffickers, the ones that bring mega drugs over from other countries on boats, etc. and the big time distributors.
Yes, Misty running around in her neighborhood and picking up pills on the street corner or whatever, is a true annoyance and they should of been busted for it, if they are doing it. I am sure that sort of activity is rampant in all cities everywhere. LE probably can’t keep up.
However, this particular group was targeted for a reason, over anyone else in that neighborhood doing this. Their sentences are outrageous! What would they give a drug lord with billions of dollars in drug sells and trafficking for a sentence? To me, there is no comparison.
Therefore, I believe that this group was specifically targeted and it had Everything to do with Haleigh being missing. They certainly didn’t bust them because they thought it would ‘clean up the drug problem’ in Florida.
If you go to the city dump and you pick up one peice of paper, is that going to stop the trucks from dumping loads of paper in every day? No. It will just get replaced with hundreds more peices of paper.
I’m not saying it is right, I am just saying that this was a way for LE to get Misty in the jail and punished, because they are convinced she knows something about Haleigh and that they screwed things up from the beginning.
methinks- one of my nephews was married to a women like Misty. She was with a Ronlike person, he would beat her on a regular basis and treated her like a slave. she took care of his children. She was almost 18 when he was arrested. During the time he was incarcerated, she met & married my nephew, they had one child, when V got out of jail two years after her child was born she went back to him. They had a child and he still beat T. He would also beat his own baby. One day he T didn’t want to give him money as she said she needed it for diapers. He took his son ripped off the diaper and threw him across the room. He luckily landed on the bed but still sustained injuries.
Then he went after T with a knife, his mom called me & told me what was happening. I told her to call 911 but she said she couldn’t! I called 911, and there was a hostage standoff but he finally surrendered. The baby was taken to the hospital. when he was released 5 days later it was back to his mother, dad was in jail awaiting trial and then boom everyone started defending him. Mother didn’t remember calling me. T said they were fooling around and the baby flew out of her arms as they were playing. You would think the hostage situation would stick because LE witnessed it but no the Public Defender said that was just play acting and he did surrender. So V spent 41 days in jail waiting for trial and plead guilty to child endangerment and got off with time served.
T has three more children with him. They move from county to county when something happens to one of the children to avoid CPS! Three of children no longer live with her. The son she had with my nephew, got a good job with his dad when he turned 18 and took on raising the two teenage children, He’s been doing it for two years now & is doing a wonderful job. So it is possible!
All Fields has to do is prove that LE entrapped Misty on the first charge, all other charges would be tossed.
The people that are posting their complaints on Topix are complaining about a corrupt LE, mostly in administration. Yes they are ticked about the drug situation BUT they were also ticked that LE has allegedly known for years about Hardy’s son dealing in drugs and done nothing. They are ticked that there is no money in the budget to add more deputies BUT Hardy found the money to give his top administrative staff raises.
The citizens of Putnam are ticked at a lot of things going on with PCSO not just about the drug situation.
LOL, anything is possible in this case.
Well, gotta run. You all have a nice discussion today. Will check back in tonight on any new theories.
Find Haleigh.
Another scenario is this, after hearing the last tommy/lynsay conversation, maybe le is planning to put her on the stand to tesify against tommy for Haleighs disappearance. They may know now that misty is innocent (if she is) and they just need a witness to the fact that tommy was not where she said he was on the night haleigh went missing. I can’t believe that le doesn’t have something to counteract their apparent mess-up in this tragic case. the truth will hurt all the way around. The burden of proof needs to be placed back on the state where it should be. If misty is innocent of anything, it will be in the Haleigh case. imo
They got busted because they broke the law. If I get caught speeding Icant use the defense that the guy in front of me didnt get pulled over, so you have to let me off too.
And the parties all knew LE was out to arrest anyone involved in the Haleigh case way before they were dealing drugs. All the Croslin arrests should have indicated that, they all made those claims of being targeted.jmo
Misty could somehow (not likely) walk on all the Putnam charges but she still has to face the St. Johns charge. There is no way in heck she is going to walk on that one, she was caught on video selling 155 pills, not just one or two prescription pills she got from a neighbor or a vet down on his luck that she turned around and sold to another neighbor or friend for a few bucks.
Wasnt that the first deal? The one with Donna?
I sure would like to know how Misty met the UC and thats something LE has not released or redacted from the tapes.jmo
I wonder if she bought pills from him before she started dealing? Maybe met him on line?
We should find this out when or if she goes to trial. jmo
Tobias, I was wondering how she met him too. Didn’t tommy say to his dad that he had warned her about him cuz he wasn’t a regular friend or something like that?
I couldn’t resist Tobias when i saw your 11:03 am post!
A man was speeding down the highway, feeling secure in a gaggle of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over.
The officer handed him the citation, received his signature and was about to walk away when the man asked, “Officer, I know I was speeding, but I don’t think it’s fair. There were plenty of other cars around me going just as fast, so why did I get the ticket?”
“Ever go fishing?” the policeman suddenly asked the man. “Ummm, yeah… so,” the startled man replied.
The officer grinned and added, “Ever catch ALL the fish?”
I am curious too Guys b/c in the uc videos the narrator,lol news lady,lol said “afterall Misty had partied with him before” IIRC??

************************************
Possible,I was looking on another site the other day and I saw an article that said Misty had been removed from “suspect” to POI!
SO it makes me wonder too!
hey cathyjo! Hows it?
Going,lol?? Ok,been down at daughters,she’s having alot of pain,shes due July 20th but I don’t think it’ll be that long!!!!!
Cathyjo, wow, I hadn’t heard that. I didn’t even realize that she had been bumped up to suspect.When did that happen?
CJ< thats awesome! Yer’ gonna’ be a gramma again! My son will be 33 on july 28…good month for babys!
I’ve been thinking alot about it and the way I guess I see it but couldn’t explain it before with words but now maybe i can,If Misty is guilty of the drug charges and yea,we all seen the tapes,so I am gonna leave that one to PCSO but I don’t want her found guilty of Haleigh if she’s is INNOCENT?
That should have been what I said!
But i do believe she’s innocent but covering for Ron…jmo
LoL Methinks!!!!
If i’d known grandkids were so much fun,I’d have had them first,rofl
I got it off the article at eyes for lies? ever been there Me? sec,I’ll go ccp some of it,
I’m almost there too. Only I don’t think shes covering for ron, I think she was probably straight up passed out cold to the world…self induced or otherwise. I don’t know, but I’m definately starting to wonder if she truly knows anything…
Investigators in the Haleigh Cummings case have received a tip from inside the jail, and are searching the area near where Ronald Cummings lived when Haleigh disappeared at this moment. They’ve also set up a mobile command center, so it looks like they got a big tip.
News4Jax.com is reporting the following (see their video here):
Channel 4′s Tarik Minor said the search of an area less than 5 miles south of where Haleigh disappeared in February 2008 was prompted by a “credible tip.”
…
Minor called the search effort “massive,” and included deputies from Putnam, Clay and Marion counties, as well as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. He said cadaver dogs were also brought to the scene.
In the FirstCoastNews article, they write something I have never seen before: “After extensive interviews with many people involved in Haleigh’s life, detectives have said Croslin knows more than she’s saying, but is not a suspect. Has anyone seen that before? Is this a new change in status due to information?
I will post more information as it becomes available. If you have breaking news, please email me!
Right MeThinks,I think she ‘d have cracked wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before now,jmo
Cj, thats crazy…gonna go check it out too! be back quick
MeThinks,I may have worder it wrong,lol not sure if from suspect but the article did say she’s not a suspect so sorry if i goofed ya up there,lol
The last video link i posted MeThink,watch it and tell me what you thinks? lol
he even got angry at Nancy Grace hunny! jmo
If that had been any other person N/G would have ripped his head off!jmo
It didn’t show the part i wanted you to see,looking for it tho,the last video I mean?/ where he gets angry at N/G!
he defends every statement N/G makes about inconsistancies! Theres only one reason you’d do that!
to protect yourself….jmo??
There are no suspects. There are not even POI noted. That has always been. So not news to me.
Hey CJ, Jen, and Me….
Happy Glorious Sunday!!!
CJ, what video…? can you repost?
ilovetheshowmadmen, Yes it is a glorious sunday! I think I’ll have to shorten your nic since I might have gotten carple tunnel from typing it!!lol
How about “iheartmadmen” ? hmm still too long…how about iheartmen? hmmm…could use alittle help here!
