This just in from TJ Hart of The Sky 97.3 – Simon
By TJ Hart
Thanks, to the hundreds of you who have emailed the state and local officials with your concerns in solving the Haleigh Cummings disappearance.
The Putnam County commissioners are receiving your emails as is the governor. One reader passed along to me her response from Lt. Governor Kottkamp:
Thank you for contacting Lieutenant Governor Kottkamp and sharing your concerns about the Haleigh Cummings case. The Lieutenant Governor asked me to respond on his behalf.
The Florida Constitution limits the Governor’s intervention in matters that should be resolved through the court system. Each state attorney is an elected official charged with certain discretionary duties, including the duty to determine whether or not to prosecute any particular crime committed within his or her jurisdiction. This decision is based on the quality and quantity of the evidence of guilt shown, and in the best interest of justice. The state attorneys operate independently, and as elected officials, they answer only to the voters of their individual jurisdictions. If you wish to contact the state attorney handling the Cummings case, please use the information provided below.
The Honorable R.J. Larizza
State Attorney, Seventh Judicial Circuit
The Justice Center
251 North Ridgewood Avenue
Daytona Beach, Florida 32114-7505Please rests assure the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is working closely with the local sheriff’s office to resolve this case.
Thank you again for contacting Lieutenant Governor Kottkamp.
Sincerely,
Dustin Fusillo
Office of Citizen Services
The email from Lieutenant Governor Kottkamp’s office indicates your best and most effective push should be directed to the State Attorney’s Office in Daytona Beach, FL. Unfortunately, I cannot find an active email for Honorable R.J. Larizza at this writing, but I do have his website: http://www.sao7.com.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackTo my friends out there. Thanks to all of you that has sent e-mails to be Haleighs voice. Keep sending e-mails till Haleigh is found. God Bless You TJ and all the people that has sent e-mails for Haleigh. I pray shes found soon and a arest or two is made very soon.
I am very concerned about this case and the way things have gone so far.One thing that concerns me is that Ronald Cummings son is still with him and Misty.Why has this child not been returned to his Mother,seeing how while in the care of Misty,Haleigh vanished.I am worried about that little boy.And the way the court handled the custody of these children.Ronald was so concerned with his little girls being taken he hurried and married Misty.That should of waited.Now they set up an account to help him because he lost his job,so has 90% of the country,so now he wants everyone to support him,so he uses his daughter to get money,why is this father not out turning up every stone looking for the child?Why don’t they drill Misty till she tells,break that girl.She isn’t that strong,she can be broken.This is her fault,get her for child endangerment.I am so mad.She should not have the right to be near children at this point,and if Ronald wants her then get that little boy away from them.
thank you all for sending emails to help haleigh cummings god bless tj hart,simmon,cobra,art,and everyone else keep praying for haleigh’s safe return and but whoever is involed with this make sure they pay real long thank you all again
It is pleasing to note that our messages, letters, & emails are reaching the targeted officials.
However, now is not the time to just quit or slow down.
Let’s continue to march with our crusade to contact all the officials and continue to do so until we have some answers!
Let’s not give up the fight now, let’s just push harder, because we are making a difference.
Thank you TJ and Simon
D Kerr – Ronald retained custody because he is a good father and the abuse allegations were BS. Misty being asleep does not make her guilty of anything, give your head a shake.
Are you serious the father was spotted at the fair begging for donations
that same evening he was spotted at the local drug dealers house.
Please write facts.
Well Yeah Right, Ron didn’t have a job at the time so where was his drug money supposed to come from? He had to beg for donations as Daddy of missing child so that he would have drug money for later that night.
Not to worry. I understand Ron is back in business as one of Satsuma’s premiere drug dealers.
To Yeah right – give it up, you’ve had 5 months of posting all kinds of lies about Ronald, and yet never one shred of proof. LIES! Ticked he got custody aren’t you?
Britta and Yeah Right, you have your facts misconstrued. It wasn’t Ron at the fair begging for donations, it was Haleigh’s mother. And how would you know he was at the local drug dealer’s house, unless you were there as well? DKerr, where have you been during this case? The account set up for Ron happened at the beginning of this case, and that account netted some $5,000 total. It was not set up because he lost his job. What’s uncertain at this point is how many thousands of dollars were raised by the Haleighbug Center, in addition to the $12,400 Crystal was able to procure from this tragedy to get her off the hook for her 4 years of back child support. If you’re unable to contribute intellectually, you probably should contribute.
hey curious
That was my first post since you know so much.
Your defending Ronald alot!!!
Your actually the first person to defend a family member.
Maybe you should join the search. Oh I forgot you only have a blog, nice
maybe your Ronalds mistress? You defend him like his new wife.
Were you at the drug spot with him?
Maybe your a little to curious.
THIS IS ABOUT HALEIGH!
Get it right
go defend the accused else where
WHO IS NOT MAD HE GOT CUSTODY, you?
He’s a drug dealing addict y don’t you leave your kids with him for the weekend.
Duhhhh!
Xfactor
sounds like you’ve contributed to the Ronald fund too.
You know his acct better then he does.
Maybe you should consider your contribution, intellectualy
It seems unfair to throw the drug addict synopsis only one way; it appears to me that both maternal and paternal sides of the family have histories/issues with drugs.
I honestly don’t believe either Ron C. or Crystal S. had anything to do with Haleigh’s disappearance.
Today is the 162nd day since Haleigh disappeared, none of us seem to be any the wiser as to who, what, when and why.
If you have information and/or proof that will help find Haleigh, then please share it with LE. All these speculations, rumors and opinions are just that….nothing more than speculation, rumor, opinion.
As TJ has suggested, contact the appropriate SA and ask for more assistance in this case, suggest FBI profiler Dayle Hinman be brought in; anything you can think of to help find Haleigh.
Praying the FOCUS is still on finding this precious young girl, HALEIGH
You’re right their BOTH drug addicts, but then again it’s Satsuma.
I personally care less for both parents or grandparents lawyers.
It’s about the continuance in the search. The finding of Haleigh.
People stop defending either parent. I have a daughter she’s with me right now, why cause I protect her. Where were Haleigh’s parents, I’ll tell you “failing to protect their daughter”
where is Haleigh?
If alive, we “America” will protect her
if not, God will protect her
not her parents!!!!
Whether we agree or not let’s pray for her safety!
Yes, it’s about finding Haleigh. And we should keep the pressure on so the right folks keep working on it.
Personally I don’t find anything likable or admirable about Ron, Misty or Crystal. All of them neglected Haleigh (and Jr) in some way. But I’m sure that could be said of many parents in Satsuma and all over the country.
And any of those three could be responsible for her disappearance – or not. I don’t know.
I’m sure if there was some real proof against Misty or Ron that Jr would be taken from them. But there isn’t. And usually the siblings of kidnapped children are not taken from their parents unless there is some solid proof they are in danger. So LE can’t take Jr away and frankly if they did I wouldn’t want to see him back with Crystal either. She’s got more than she can handle already in a lot of ways. And I imagine that both Ron and Misty are VERY aware that their care of Jr is being closely watched so very likely they are taking particularly good care of him. At least if they have any brains they are – but then that’s a subject of debate too.
Yeah right, you seem a little too caught up in this case. The real world is waiting for you. Try and enter it, won’t you?
Ronald Cummings is in no way the better parent for Ronald Jr. My goodness after everything we have found out about him and Misty and his lifestyle and the way he is why try to convince anybody that he is.. Haleigh needs to be found and the only way to do that is by making Misty talk….She knows something and she is the key to finding little Haleigh!!!
m2c, Hello there my friend. You are always right on target with your comments! Nice to see you again! I agree with your comments.
Read the decision. Ronald yet again, is the best parent.
I would not give Crystal a house plant
This thread has become very disappointing.
Are we going to pressure officials to get the ball moving in the investigation into a missing girl or be content to return to the sniping?
Curious
Are you a parent?
TJ – You are right. Our number one priority should be to pressure the appropriate authorities to keep moving on this case somehow. Haul Misty in for questioning again for pete’s sake. Something!
The custody issue is of lesser importance than finding Haleigh. And as I said in an earlier post I am not too worried about Jr’s welfare because I’m sure that Ron and Misty are taking very good care of him – if for no other reason – than because they will really be in hot water if anything happens to him.
I can’t stop laughing about the hot water comment… cause it would be so close to taking a bath, I am sure Ron and Misty would do anything to avoid such a consequence… I’m sorry, that is so mean, but I am laughing so hard.
There has to be a way, what does it say about Haleigh’s mother that Ron keeps being deemed the better parent? That seems to be the bigger issue.
And to TJ, if you have individuals like Tim Holmseth writing 20-page, accusation-laden, “mythical diatribes” to The Honorable R.J. Larizza, how can we expect them to take this case seriously? Not one individual in this whole sordid mess is single-handedly responsible for making sure Haleigh Cummings is no longer being covered by their news organization than him. It’s both sad and tragic that someone such as himself, who suddenly deems himself an “investigative journalist” (one moment, what day is this? he may be mayor by today) would throw himself, unwanted by anyone close to the investigation (including LE, the FBI, and anyone else he’s told his “they stole my fingerprints” story to), into this case, for no other purpose than to draw attention and financial reward to himself. It sickens me.
I am sitting here shaking my head and saying WOW! Grow up people this is all about Haleigh not Ron and Misty’s or Crystal’s drug habits. WHO CARES! The main FOCUS is getting officials in Satsuma to listen and get this case moving forward once again. ALL THAT SHOULD MATTER IS FINDING HALEIGH!!!!!!!!!!!
Mandy, you’d think finding Haleigh is all that should matter, but the sideshow gang tends to want to keep focus off Haleigh as much as possible! One would have to wonder why that is. I guess a book deal & writing the FBI about perceived indiscretions is more important than a missing 5-year old. {SIGH}
Lets all send e-mails today. This is the best thing we can do at this point. Send E-mails People. and Pray for Haleigh.
xFactor,
All I am saying is the focus should be HALEIGH and finding her. The key to this whole case is Misty and LE cannot break her down. LE needs to break her and get the truth. But yes the focus should be finding HALEIGH anyway possible.
Mandy
how can we not focus on the parents their the ones that neglected Haleigh
which evetually led to her dissaperance.
The focus is on finding Haleigh
x factor r we in agreance? Wow!
Haleigh has got to be found first then let the courts take care of who ever took her. imo Focus on this baby.
Anne
I agree but we have to deal with these obstacles to get to her
it’s not as easy as saying “find Haleigh”. You have to investigate the people involved.
I can’t believe you posted that. Find Haleigh then deal with the accused.
What if she’s never found, who do we question then?
We have to bare down on all accused or suspected in order to reach results
We need Jack Bauer on this.
Anne when was the last time you were in Satsuma helping on the case?
I was there at 17 and 309 handing out water for the officers
trust me they are looking.
Everyone:
Capt. Dick Schauland (Ret.) with PCSO has said numerous times on my radio station, CNN, FOX, HLN, ABC, NBC and CBS and in several of my articles that the focus is on finding the child first. Then, arrests will surely be made and people will be going to jail.
TJ
What if Haleigh is never found, or found dead? lets be real you’ve been to Satsuma.
Who do we question then? Capt. Dick?
While Ronald gets high and his new wife glows in the media, the grandparents seem to not care, the lawyers are covering up,and The son is scared shitless.
Let’s wait till she’s found. Capt. Dick is right!
She’ll tell us who did it.
The search is now up to 163 days. He’s right let’s wait till she’s found!!!!!
and until then we wait?
TJ keep up the good work
Gators!
I am seriously considering joining my colleagues in only reporting on this case when LE issues a press release from now on.
No wonder the smart ones moved one. Their bullshit plate got filled up early and often, too. They just decided it wasn’t worth it.
Like them, I’ve been burned continually by sources who are only driven by their own agenda to settle old scores.
I have also made some missteps along the way in trying to report accurately on this bizzare story and paying heavy prices for each error.
I sincerely wish the best for the 97% who really care. And please, don’t stop emailing the officials!
For the 3% who think they can solve this on their own with their superior intellect and investigative skills, get your butt away from the computer…put it on a plane to Florida and show LE in Satsuma and the entire world just how flippin’ smart you really are with some measurable results to show for it.
I live here. Heck, I’ll even cover your every move so as to not miss a moment of your gifted brilliance. That way you can insert yourself into a national story which is what some of the sore asses on the blogs are really yerning for anyway.
Amuse yourselves. I’m checking out for awhile.
PS.
For clarity:
Most of my sources are very trustworthy. About 7 were of the agenda driven type who made messes when messes weren’t necessary.
TJ
Dont be angry, stay a while.
I live here too, and been to Satsuma to help.
You’re right let’s meet up we can start at the trailer park and move our way through the woods and scuba dive the river. Lets drive up and down all the drug spots and rural areas of this luxurious city. Let’s dine at shrimps r’us and chase the locals of Putnam around. We’ll wave at the bikers and have a beer at the Log cabin. Protest the LE with signs that read “GET TO WORK”.
And when we still come up with nothing, then we can… well I’m sure the other 97% can answer that.
TJ I am on your side.
At the end of the day WE all want the same thing Haleigh found, NOW!
I just get so frustrated sometimes. There are so many sub-plots and side agendas going on that I think I know why LE is have a tougher time than they should on this case—it’s BS around it.
I am also angry at myself.
I inadverdently took some sources at their word without further confirming something with some family members. That one misstep not only hurt those hurting people’s feelings, I harmed my own credibility.
Thankfully, that misinformation was only online for a brief while and not on this site.
I cannot apologize enough for the hurt feelings and damage to their ability to trust me as once before.
Did any of you ever had one of those days where you wanted to jump in a hole and take the hole with you?
This old man is having one of those days.
Who’s buying the first round?
Thanks TJ for all you are doing. Just don’t let the other 3% get to you. That’s what they want.
It’s about finding Haleigh folks. Let TJ do his job.
Notice, he said he was checking out for awhile. Not for good. He just needs a breather. I assure you, he will be back.
If you really want to help, start sending the emails. If not, log off!
TJ
Like I said i am on your side. How you took what I said the wrong way, IDK.
I feel your concern and I will buy the first round, what are you drinking?
But not at the Log cabin in Satsuma. Lol
My only concern is Haleigh, that’s it!
I think you are doing a tremendous job and we all recognize it.
You have been diligent in your work, without any discreditment to us.
I think
the search for Haleigh needs to be intensified and all officials and family memebers interrigated for their actions.
Never giving up the search first!!
So cheer up old man. You are apreciated.
Never at the log cabin. Samuel Adams, please. BTW How’s that seafood place in San Mateo? I hear it’s pretty good. I driven by it enough!
Tj,
The first paragraph of you last post makes total sense to me that is LE’s issues, but then again they put up with the bs rather than stop it and get to the bottom of this case. Honestly imo if LE in that country cannot break a 17 year old to give an accurate time line something is not right and they need outside help!
Have a better evening than you have had day. When I have had a bad day I just remember accept the things I cannot change.!!!!
Please don’t laugh, but I do not know all the blog lingo….what does “imo” “lol” and “lmao” mean?
I just want to be able to understand—I promise to pick up the pace and catch up with the cool kids soon!
imo is in my opinion
lol is laugh out loud
lmao is laugh my arse off
I’m not very current with computer lingo either but I think IDK means I don’t know.
And JMO is Just My Opinion.
(to add a few)
TJ
It’s fantastic! Is it the only place to eat in Putnam?
Maybe Obama should fly into Putnam and adress the LE. It might take him a while. lol
Laughing out loud!
Never fear TJ you’re one of the cool kids.
What is this? The beat up on TJ thread? There are precious few reporters taking time to even cover this case. TJ Hart is one hell of a fine guy. If you armchair quarterbacks spent a tenth of your time being positive, maybe, just maybe, the case would move forward.
I have the deepest respect for TJ Hart, and I will not see him abused by a few idiots that have absolutely no knowledge of the case.
Crawl back into your secret caves, because from here on in, if I see any more stupid comments you will be banned!
This is the most ridiculous round of comments I think I have ever encountered. If you all care about finding Haleigh then do something useful. Sniping at the very few press that are still working on the story is counterproductive.
In the words of Russel T. Case “UP Yours”.
Simon Barrett
Thanks, all for the pep talk, the restaurant reference and the blog tutorial.
Now, to go home to my wife. Perhaps my 10 year old granddaughter will come over and “take me swimming.”
The pool is just in the back yard but bless her heart, she truly believes she is the only one who can convince gramps he needs to exercise.
Little does she know that it’s her company I cherish and not so much the water aerobics.
TJ… hang in there… Simon will buy the first round.
Everyone yells to find Haleigh and that is all that is important. Well what do you all think they are trying to do? It seems to me that some are more concerned about who to blame right now instead. TJ is right. They are looking where they are able to look and once they find her then they will focus on finding out who is responsible for this.
Let’s not forget we all have the same goal here, to FIND HALEIGH and getting frustrated with people like TJ, Art, Cobra, Simon, me or anyone else reporting something that you don’t agree with is NOT helping to find her.
Let’s try working together on this instead of making enemies. It would make this investigation a lot easier for those of us that have no choice but to go by what we are reading.
TJ you haven’t lost any credibility with us. We admire what you have done and we hope you don’t give up on helping to find Haleigh.
Simon,
It’s okay, dear friend. I got down on myself this time.
Remember, when you come to Florida: I owe you dinner, four strong drinks and several shots of rot-gut hooch.
It’s all good, but thanks, anyway.
Love all, Bless all, Respect all!
Let’s find Haleigh!
TJ:
Bravo to a man of true honor and integrity!
TJ and Jan and Simon and Cobra are the only ones keeping Haleigh in the news. Kudos to them. I believe in them all.
Yeah Right, somethings are in Gods hands and not in our hands. Yeah we keep searching and i ask my God to guide me in looking for Haleigh. In my heart God will let her be found in His time not ours. And TJ your not going no where. Haleigh Needs you and so do we. Kudos to you.
Wow!
If this attack is on me, why!
I defended TJ. Has no one read what was written.
Sorry to the offended but I was trying to state my opinion.
No pun was intended towards TJ.
I HONESTLY think that he is doing a great job!
And Simon I think your contribution to this case has also been tremendous, and we apreciate your time dedicated.
Please do not take this as sarcasm. I only intended in voicing an opinion.
I’m no sniper.
Just a parent.
Yeah Right, God bless you and all the other good parents out there.
Team,
Let’s all just raise and imaginary glass and drink a toast to the end of a challenging day for all of us. (hear’s imaginary “clinking of the glasses”).
We are all friends and family. I will gladly buy the first round of imaginary drinks, but not anywhere near the log cabin in Putnam County.
Bottoms Up!
TJ
Sorry I won’t post again.
My respect Simon.
Please don’t stop your outstanding continuance of this case.
Sorry.
Hope there is no imaginary hangover after this imaginary happy hour!~
My respects to you TJ.
Clink’
TJ, if LE didn’t have so much b.s. to cypher through, this case may already have been solved. One would have to wonder why the diversion was created in the first place. Perhaps looking more closely at the divertees is in order.
I think I might have been the only one who didn’t see Yeah, Right as being rude to me. I thought it was just frustration married with anger and an attempt at humor that didn’t quite connect with everyone. I understood the opinion and the sarcasm and greatly appreciated the restaurant recommendation.
It’s all good.
xFactor….they are looking at everybody 6 and 7 time over…even some members of the press for what they know and for what they sometime profess to know.
Dear TJ,
Please, please don’t beat yourself up for caring and wishing for Haleigh to be found, your heart is in the right place and your conscience is clear.
I admire and respect you immensely, as stated above, I too believe you are a man of honor and integrity and I thank you for caring so much about this precious little girl.
Take a breather, but please don’t give up on Haleigh, she truly needs you. Enjoy your family, have some ‘TJ’ time, an Irish coffee and relaxation will have you coming back raring to go in the pursuit of finding Haleigh.
Remember, the fighting Irish were given that name for a reason, Haleigh is your fight, never, ever give up. God Bless you and your family.
************************************************
To others that have ulterior motives in this case, I say SHAME ON YOU, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. You reap what you sow and karma is amazing.
I’m an arm chair blogger/poster, I truly wish I could do more to help, alas, I can’t, all I can do is send emails and letters to various authorities requesting their intervention and expertise in finding Haleigh, may I respectfully request, that those in the same position as I, do the same. Thank you.
Day 163, please bring Haleigh home safe and sound.
Sláinte TJ,
May you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart!
TJ,SIMON,JAN & COBRA
MAY GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!
I NEVER KNEW THE BARRETTS OR COBRA.HOWEVER I MUST SAY SINCERE PEOPLE SUCH AS YOURSELVES COME FEW IN THIS WORLD.YOU 4 DESERVE A STANDING OVATION.I 100% AGREE SOME IN THE MEDIA THAT R M.I.A.NEED BE INVESTIGATED.WHY?BECAUSE THIS CASE NEEDS ONLY THE GINUINE,UNSELFISH,AND HONEST TO COVER-N-REPORT.
NOW LET’S CONTINUE THOSE E-MAILS AND FIND HALEIGH.
P.S.TJ THE BEST IS YET TO COME,GOD SEES YOUR SINCERE EFFORTS AND HE’S THE JUST REWARDER.
POSITIVE PEOPLE GET POSITIVE RESULTS!!!!
Oh, Pinky…you sound just like TCH. I only hope TJ is smart enough not to be taken in by a swindler. TJ, take notice of how everyone else has been treated. Why would you want to take focus off of sweet little Haleigh any more than you already have? Transparency at its finest.
TJ…I think you, Simon,Jan,Cobra and Art are doing WONDERFUL. Thank-you all so much for all the work you all continue to do.
Pinkey32, I keep sending e-mails and will not stop until Haleigh comes home.
Noreen, I’m an arm chair blogger also. We are important, too!
Let’s pray for Haleigh.
TJ,
Thank you for reiterating what we as Americans know that by writing our local government, we can effect change. Thanks for the reminder, It feels as though I actually made a contribution to Haleigh’s case for once.
A question to you and Simon and Jan. I know that behavior by bloggers becomes personal and ugly at times. My question is, when that happens, exactly how do bloggers as a cyber community create a side show that results in LE having a tougher time than they should on this case? Maybe I should know the answer to that, but do not.
As of now, I’ve sent 5 letters to various agencies, and have received two responses. Apparently the letters are being read. I think the SA is a key office to contact by mail.
Somebody in Satsuma knows what happened to Haleigh, this is a small town and to be able to even know Haleigh was at that house and to be able to find that house it would have to have been someone local, or someone in the house hold……This isnt a big city, heck this isnt even a big town, and and outsider would have been noticed immediatly, I wish someone would make Misty talk, she knows and Ron knows that she does….This is not and abducted child!IMO
The key words here are ELECTED and DISCRETIONARY.
“Each state attorney is an elected official charged with certain discretionary duties…”
Here in Florida, we have State Attorneys rather than District Attorneys. The current State’s Attorney for Putnam County, R.J. Larizza was elected in November by the voters of Putnam, St. Johns, Flagler, and Volusia counties [Florida’s 7th Judicial Circuit.] Larizza defeated longtime State’s Attorney John Tanner.
Since Larizza is new to the position, hopefully there will be less of a tendency for people to suspect him of crony-ism or corruption. The same could be said of Sheriff Jeff Hardy who was also just recently elected to his position.
Personally, I am heartened to hear that the Governor of the Great State of Florida is not attempting to sway or interfere with the investigative and judicial process.
Like so many members of your audience, TJ, I wish that Haleigh had long ago been safely returned to her family and the perpetrator(s) tried and convicted.
In the absence of such, it is good to know that the investigators and prosecutors are not charging and arresting someone simply to satisfy public opinion. It would be terrible to arrest the wrong person. It would be even worse to arrest the right person and not have sufficient evidence to convict.
That said, I hope that all of our elected officials realize that the case of Haleigh Cummings will come up again when you next run for election.
I contacted PCSO yesterday afternoon in regards to the article posted by the Justice For Haleigh blog.
The press office gave me the standard “we will not comment on an ongoing investigation” answer.
PCSO, however, had made the comment early in the case that they were satisfied with Ron’s whereabouts the night Haleigh disappeared.
MURT
MURTWITNESSONE:
Welcome, to the club! Wish I had a nickel for each time I’ve heard that line lateley. I’d have a lot of nickels!
Oh bloody well then Murt, looks like you got the scoop again….LMBO! NOT! We already know this Murt. What makes you all think you’re going to get inside info from PCSO? It aint going to happen. Not reliable info that is.
I personally think its backwards, “to find Haleigh first”. TJ- is that what you’ve been told by sources? Or is that your own gut feelings? Haleighs not out there running around with a GPS tracking chip, you know. She’s not out there using credit or debit cards leaving a paper trail. Heck she isnt even old enough to do the Hansel and gretal bit. If she is alive, she’s very well hidden from all. How are they to find her without putting focus and pressure on the key players in her life prior to her disappearence? You cannot find her without picking apart the many facets of her immediate circle and the events prior to it. All arrows point to Ronald- sorry but thats my opinion based on facts. But since PCSO won’t tip anyones hand, we dont know what they are investigating- if they are even investigating at all. Seems to me, PCSO wants this one to go away. But that’s my gut telling me that. I dont want to believe PCSO is harboring corruption within its walls- but I do know several LE examples I could give where it happens.
Food for thought everyone: If you all watch the very last press conference very closely, you will see a very confident Ronald Cummings mucking it up with John Merchant during Crystals final public plea for her daughters return. JM seems to entertain Mr. Cummings and not discourage the interaction. I am not the only one who’s hairs stand up with the comfort level Ronald has with Merchant. Others are starting to think the same thing.
We can’t let this go. We must not allow others to discredit us and we must not allow this case to go cold.
Notice how the websites regarding finding Haleigh are gone from the web? The only one out there standing is from her Mother. The Cummings family have moved on with their lives now. They full well know what happened to Haleigh!
TJ- What Im trying to understand is- you say sources told you that TES was returning? Now you say that info is incorrect? You think someone gave you false info intentionally or did LE or someone close NOT want anyone to know TES was coming back? I’m confused. because mainly you allude she’s very much alive. But TES getting back into the picture, doesnt support that.
Thinking out loud here, now they want us to think TES coming back into it is false and not happening. It’s too late to backpeddle that info. Maybe it’s just they didnt want it leaked out, so that Mr. Cummings isnt aware of it. Or he’ll slither his way back into a search, being the stand up dad that he is.
I remember the Maria lauderbach case and how they went into the streets of Mexico and tracked down Cesear lorean and brought him back to justice. Now how in the heck is it, that the state of Florida cant find a 5 year old child? Jesus!!
Mz Wickers,
Capt. Dick Schauland (Ret.) with PCSO has said numerous times on my radio station, CNN, FOX, HLN, ABC, NBC and CBS and in several of my articles,”…the focus is on finding the child first. Then, arrests will be made.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_39ny_0_9k
Captain Schauland also said they are talking to everyone who might have been involved as many times as it takes to find Haleigh.
Please, everyone listen to Schauland in this video for clarity.

But TES getting back into the picture, doesnt support that.”
————–
I will help you with your confusion. Tim Miller is a busy well respected man and stays in touch with family members that have missing children. He is very compassionate because as you know, he lost his daughter, Laura. In my opinion, the Cummings family is looking for alive HaLeigh and can’t wait for her return.
I hope this helps. Thank you
PS: TJ, thank you, for being the professional that you are and retracting your story.
Becca1- Why would you be thanking me? For what did I post that you found to be grateful for? How strange a comment as this. I am not confused on who TES and Tim Miller is. TM quite respected, Yes indeed he is. this was not my question. Are you refering that I was in the dark on who TES is and what they do? But thank you for your knowledgable stance. How refreshing. And this is how facts get spinned. Nice derailment of my post darling. You are so clever. Indeed.
TJ can answer for himself.
Who told him TES was returning and who told him they were not is my confusion. Why the retraction? There are reasons why every event occurs, the retraction had a reason behind it. I would like clarity. Or at least an inside look into why TJ had to take it so hard on himself. He felt he had it right and then learned he didnt…whats up with that? Why would someone with a big ‘ol heart like TJ feel his credibility was on the line with this story? Whats really behind it? I appreciate TJ’s honorable decision to do the right thing- but theres more to it.
Becca1, You have your opinion on the actions of the Cummings family and I have mine. Haleigh went missing on their watch. Period. Thats where the investigation starts and thats where it ends. The inbetween is what & who has or had her? I am not saying she is deseased. But if TES was supposed to get reinvolved, someone thinks she is. Or was it someone told TJ TES was coming back and it was NOT true and a lie to upset his reporting? Which is it is all I was confused about.
I want to add to my earlier post. I stopped commenting on the case in the blogs/forums the circus got out of control. I dont participate in spinning or going off of rumors. I dont mind the rumors, however- I dont base my thoughts on them. I base my opinions on facts: the 911 calls, the body language and word usuage by key players in the case. If I had their cell phone records- I’d be in a better position. But since I dont have privy to those factual items, I’m going by gut instinct and facts presented so far. I wouldnt dare waste all my time in the blogs making silly comments about this and that. I just want facts and why I commented here. Otherwise, I patiently awaite results from LE or reporters such as TJ.
For the record TJ, Art, Simon & even Cobra- you all keep doing what you’re doing. Even if you just merely end up with nothing from week to week. Theres always going to be that little bit of truth (fact) in the mix somewhere.
TJ- Buck up, I’m sure the fruits of your labor is to come, eventually.
The TES information was unitentionally dilvudged and NO conspiracy, lying or fraud took place by LE or others–Just a VERY unfortunate misunderstanding for which I have apologized profusely for my part in transmitting that story.
I make mistakes and when I do-I take responsibility for my role as I have here.
There is nothing to read into this other than some hurt feelings and embarresment.
Thank you
TO further clarify:
Personal calls and not professional calls were made between parties in Florida and TES.
3 sources mistook these calls for requests for TES.
That it why the original story was printed with tons of “mights” and “maybes” instead of “wills” and “shalls” when I should have just sat on it instead until one last call was completed.
I usually go with 4 sources instead of the customary 3—I will stay with 4 until the day I die.
I hope that answers your questions as I am quite embarressed by this misunderstanding and subsequent action.
Lastly,
One of those sources has been soundly throttled.
TJ
Mz. Wickers,
Apparently, you are not familiar with southern manners. I will answer your paragraphs separately.
1. I did not imply you have no knowledge of Tim Miller and TES. I did not derail your post, but if that is the way you want to read it, that is your opinion. The way you have written suggests to me you have chosen to believe Ronald Cummings is to blame. I look at all of the facts before making a determination. I would suggest you do the same.
2. HaLeigh was abducted from her home, as many other children have. Ask Marc Klaas if he felt it was his former wife’s fault when Polly went missing. Ask Elizabeth Smarts parents how felt when she was taken from her home in the middle of the night with her little sister in the room. In my opinion, the family is always the first to be questioned. Both sides of the family. You are spinning TES getting involved again because they are not. Why would they when everyone is looking for alive HaLeigh.
I will stay away from my southern manners since you have a problem understanding them. All IMO
I, too, believe that Haleigh is still alive–always have! That’s what made the misunderstood information from the other day appear to be a game-changer.
TJ
It is understandable that at times people in your business do receive information from sources that is not accurate, for what ever reason.
To me the fact that you handled the situation quickly, not only removing the article but publically admitting the article was written with inacurate information, is what speaks the loudest.
We all make errors throughout our life, how we handle them is what is important. I find that you handled the matter with great professionalism as well as showing that you care about the feelings of the family members.
Thank you.
I appreciate all of your efforts TJ.
I feel she is alive, and will be found.
I have a gut feeling Gramma Marie and others will face charges eventually.
PLEASE GOD BRING HALEIGH HOME!
TJ
looks like we might need another imginary toast
for this happy hour.
Don’t let this BS get you down ever!
I know yesterday I came off rude but that’s my humor
thanks for getting it. My apologies
You and Simon Keep up the good work!
salut! and bottoms up!
TJ, mott the hopple- hold your head up.
oops, ARGENT- hold your head up.
What is terrible about this case is not that Law Enforcement has not solved it; it is that Law Enforcement refuses to give a press conference and inform the public as to what in the world is going on. The girl just vanishes and Law Enforcement won’t even face questions from the Media or Public. Gives the impression of Corruption in Satsuma.
Becca1, you must be a family member or friend of RC because you are BLIND to all the deception in his WHOLE family. Misty was the right person to add to the family because of her deception. If they are innocent of this then why are they not looking for her? Why are they not screaming in the streets for help in finding her? Why don’t they put up flyers? Why aren’t they camping outside the police station demanding results? There has been no deception found on Crystals side of the family during her interviews. Crystal didn’t get married a few weeks after Haleigh disappeared. I am not related or friend to either side of family so I have an outside view. RC and Misty are hiding something.
TJ Hart- Thank You so much for the clarification about what happened with TES. I would like to apologize, that I didnt understand the piece you wrote as I took it as rather vague/ambiguous. But that was my perception and not that of others.
I just read your update…..OMG! What nonsense goes on in the WWW of bloggerville! I’m glad you nipped that in the bud. I read the boards, I havent posted on any forums in many weeks, and its because of things like this being done to people all over. I stopped posting at WS because of the in-fighting. It just isn’t within me to argue the same old crap relentlessly. I wanted to move on. I see this fighting all over the place and for what? I personally am looking for new info to decern or bite into. “If” TES was coming back, that would of been a good reason to start participating in armchair detective stuff again, but it wasn’t meant to be. I do however read the blogs and forums and get stuck on the crapola and fighting, hahaha! well, cant help but to read it- my form of entertainment for the summer since my husband was laid off. Anyways, the Justice for Haliegh blog is, in my book, informative to a point. Yes, she let someone scam her and it made the blog look bad. I dont think she’s the problem. The person you “outed” pia I believe, I’m glad you outed the person. They shouldn’t of baited the blogs like that, YOU ARE RIGHT! It’s stuff like that, that is a huge waste of LE resources(time) and it really upsets those who, like you say…..Just care about Haleigh. I pray that no one else does this, but I seen this crap in Caylees case. You are totally right TJ, it needs to stop, it’s not helping. I don’t and will not participate in it. Anyone who knows me from the blogs, chats or on the WWW, knows- I leave when this starts. I’m truely above it….being cheeky, or joking around is one thing ( and I am a whitty girl!)but setting up others and tearing them apart to discredit them is quite another! There are people TJ, out here who sit back quietly and awaite the little morsels we can derive at that you leave for us. I’m proud of you TJ for writing that piece this morning! You still got it! And I am so glad you are able to eloquently set the record straight. Even if the truth hurts some egos……fricken go for it dude! Do it for us by-standers! Do it for Haleigh most of all!
Becca- no need for debating here. I don’t know what happened to Haleigh…all we know is, as fact is she became missing at Ronalds home. I would invite you to listen carefully to the 911 phone calls. We start at the beginning, Ronalds care. It starts and ends at the 911 call, just like Cobra says.
As far as Southern hospitality, I think even a Good Ol’ Hillbilly country gal like myself, would take that Thank You as a condensending remark. AND YES, you did sweetheart ellude to the fact that I didnt know a stitch about TES, when in fact, nothing in my OP was relative to that.
Again, like TJ wrote above, he totally read into it what I meant- “IF” a big if here folks, if TES was getting back into the saddle- we have a whole nother ballgame and that was where I was stuck, not at who Tim Miller is!
I will not debate anything else about the case players with you darlin’. I just wont. I know what the facts are in this case that “we” the public know as of date. I never said he did anything, but the facts are still the facts.
Now, I’m going to go eat a big ol breakfast! I fry my eggs in bacon grease! Hows that for Southern Goodness, from a gal who was raised up in the Hollers of Coal mines in Hazard KY? I never forget where I came from! Ya’ll be good now, ya hear!
Mz Wickers, there is nothing wrong with eggs fried in bacon grease, in fact it is the best way to fry them and I am a Cajun and I am a southerner and very proud of it LOL
I’m suddenly very hungry.
MMM eggs fried in bacon grease that is just the way my granny made them and they were so good.
Thank you Mrs. Jan. Oh my goodness it was good eatin’. My family is from Russelville Ky and Bulan Ky. We moved to Detroit when we was kids, 10 of us. We were poor, but always had a full belly. Fried apples, Biscuits & gravy, corn bread in a glass with milk & sugar. Although, daddy tried hard for years to get us to like Rabbit and other critters he would cart home…then, we found MCDonalds and it was love at first bite. But if mom called me right now and told me she had some beans on the stove, I’d be over there, fighting the old man for it. I still call people Mam & Sir….I grew up on Bluegrass, Van Halen to Michael Jackson…WTF is that all about! LOL! I’m the baby girl of the 10. So I got a hell of a round of experiences in my lifetime. I’m still proud too. Although I married a nerdy yank and he makes fun of my twang. Bless his heart.
Ya’ll have a good day. I hope to hear the show tomarrow. I hope that darlin KSue calls in, she’s a firecracker. And Jan, I have to listen to the whole show, cause I dont want to miss none of Simon talking…his accent just swoones me to pieces I tell ya. Those Brits got the sharpest whit and the sexiest of voices. I just wish Simon will curse now and again, then I would fricken fall out of my chair. Bye now
adds a side note than i became a vegetarian.
im convinced that if someone would take misty and drill her for about 48-72 hours non stop the lil girl would crack. i think she knows exactly what happened to HALEIGH, and so does ron,or he has a real damn good idea. we all know they are both drug addicts.
just from what ive seen they dont act real concerned for Haleigh, just themselves.i hope they find her soon.
brytne said:
“we all know they are both drug addicts.”
Actually “brytne”, we know NO such thing about Ron. While he may have been involved with drugs in the PAST, his last drug arrest was almost SIX YEARS AGO! Any proof he has been involved with ANY drugs since then other than RUMORS?
We have heard about Misty allegedly using drugs on the weekend prior to HaLeigh disappearing. Any evidence she used drugs prior or after that? No proof of an addict there either.
And since you are tossing around allegations about Ron & Misty, where are the allegations against Crystal? There are a lot of rumors about her also (which I don’t feel the need to list). Crack cocaine was just found on her property, and her fiance/step-brother has a more recent arrest (2007) than Ron’s.
None of these RUMORS will help find HALEIGH. Instead of perpetuating rumors and gossip, do you have anything to say that might help find this little girl? Have you written any letters? Have you gone on searches? Or are you just an armchair “detective” who complains about everything without any REAL knowledge of who is doing what in either family.

Lynn,
I am not a family member on either side of HaLeigh’s family , but do investigate the facts.
Both sides of the family believe she is alive and so do I. Where would you suggest they start looking?
As far as deception, in my opinion, Crystal and her family have shown us this time after time. Are you a member of their family?
I want HaLeigh found and that is my sole purpose. No child should be put on the back burner when they go missing and this is what happened to HaLeigh because of the maternal side of the family. IMO
It just gives me the chills that you are so ignorant. I hope le doesn’t come from your side of the family.
Becca1, you are crazy!
Everyone has a right to have an opinion. I will not lower myself to your levels by calling anyone a name . Pure T Childish. IMO
i’ve ben reading up on this story for a while now i think the parents should put there problems beside and only worrie about hayleigh my prayers and thoughts are with hayleigh and there familys but you all right there should like something fishy god bless
