This just in from TJ, I have to admit that I am considering setting up a new category on the site, Haleigh Cummings Side Show. Are these people for real? The sad part is that the side shows extend far further than what is reported on. One day, after this case is solved, I am going to run a radio segment just on the sideshows – Simon
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office says they are investigating another incident that may involve Ronald Cummings.
Cummings has been the subject of attention this year as the father of a missing girl for whom there has been an Amber Alert for over six months.
On Saturday, PCSO deputies were dispatched to Hank Croslin’s home to investigate a claim that Ronald Cummings may have put a headless rat in Croslin’s mailbox. Cummings told deputies he was not responsible for the incident.
Croslin told a deputy that he found the mutilated rodent in his mailbox and suspected Cummings put it there because, during the dispute a week earlier, Cummings allegedly told Croslin he would get back at him.
Croslin also told deputies that he knew Cummings owned several guns and he was afraid the headless rat was a sign Cummings was going to kill him. Croslin told deputies he wanted charges filed against Cummings.
A witness who lives nearby gave deputies a written statement about what she saw the previous night. The woman said she had been watching television and heard a truck coming up the road in front of her house. In her statement, the woman wrote that she saw Cummings driving his truck and saw him slow down in front of Croslin’s house. Then, she said, he appeared to put something into the mailbox.
Cummings denied the allegation, deputies said, and also voluntarily agreed to be questioned about the incident and to provide a written statement.
Cummings was arrested last week following an altercation with Croslin, who is the brother of Cummings’ wife, Misty.
The sheriff’s office says the incident is not tied to the search for 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings. Her birthday is Sunday. She disappeared after going to bed on the night of February 9.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI think it’s ridiculous that the family of the little missing child continues to sway attention away from finding her. I’m starting to believe that they’re doing it on purpose…diverting attention so that everyone will forget about Haleigh. Well, I know from this blog and the radio shows that there are plenty of people who WILL NOT FORGET that a precious little girl is missing. We WILL NOT FORGET no matter what sideshows are thown our way!!
Frogs I agree with you. I live in florida I have been following this precious child of God ms. Haleigh its is a sad situation. The focus shouldnt be on those two rats even though they know where this girl. The story didnt add up from the start Misty kind of reminded me that woman Susan Smith. Fake tears, always had a smoke in her hand, never once dead in someone face while the camera is on. Its all fishy and like i stated before God doesnt like ugly.
May God be with Crystal and her family as they keep the courage of finding and helping to find her little girl Haleigh may God bring this family peace and give them the answers they are waiting for.
The rest of you dirt bags come clean be honest then you maybe able to sleep night since you can sleep…
If only Misty’s father, mother and even brother had shown this much interest when she was doing drugs, underage and living with an older man. But they didn’t care about that – or at least not that I’ve heard. Nor did they care that she married him. Misty got permission from either her mother or father or both for the marriage. So I don’t much care what the Croslin’s problems are now. If they’d done the right thing, seen that Misty abided by the law in the first place, maybe maybe Haleigh would not be missing. At the very least the Croslins would not be having these problems now (if they are even having any problems and not making them up). I do not care about the Croslins (among other members of this freak show)
Um, was there EVER an Amber Alert on Haleigh?? (As written in the above article?) As far as I’ve heard, there are strict guidelines, such as it has to be a KNOWN “abduction”, AND there has to be a description of a vehicle involved. I know those are stupid rules, but many, many missing children NEVER get Amber Alerts, and I’m curious as to whether or not Haleigh really had one issued.
Okay, I Googled it, and sure enough there WAS an Amber Alert. My mistake! I guess the rules differ from state to state? Anyway…I think most would agree that these alerts should be issued on ANY missing child, regardless of whether or not all the criteria are met.
DEAD RAT WAS A MESSAGE. HEAD OFF A DEATH THREAT. TRAINING IS EVERYTHING. HE SURE KEEP ASTRAIGHT FACE EVEN THOUGH HE SOMETIMES SLEEPS WITH HIS KIN, SO WE ARE TOLD. SHE NEEDED TO RETRAIN HIM AND THIS WAS A GOLDEN MOMENT. DOES THIS FIND THE CHILD? IT WILL EVENTUALY AS ALL THIS MUST PLAY OUT FIRST! IT IS ON ANOTHER TIME ZONE FOR MOST OF US. LOCAL CONTACT
the sign; you rat on me your dead!! but i guess the rat head was best. but like in (the godfather) he would have to have a bigger mailbox for a horse head!!HA!HA!HA!
DS, actually there was an Amber Alert Put out on HaLeigh, but one of the issues to delay the Amber Alert, was the fact there was never a vehicle description. There is a route the person who took HaLeigh, that was tracked by dogs. The odd thing about it, and the issue has been brought up so many times but falls on deaf ears. Or just plain Ignored!!
1. The original Report by Le, states that it was “Domestic Related”, that was from the original Officer’s visit, at 3:30am on February 10th.
2. The path the Abductor took with HaLeigh wandered around the Housing Development, as if they were lost.. Looking for the right road to take back out. And this had to have been on Foot.
3. To believe the dogs nose, one must believe HaLeigh was taken out of the area on foot, to a vehicle waiting by the railroad tracks on Buffalo Bluff Rd, where the scent ends.
These are facts, but it seems like the facts need to be ignored, or avoided, and my question is Why? Who does not want the actually track of HaLeigh which lead to a waiting Vehicle, which also would be a Planned event, out to the public and Known?
The Rat issue.. Comes at the end of three incidences in one week….
1. The call the coslins claim to have received from misty, that she says she didn’t make. Which resulted into a fight.
2. Three news agency’s were contacted and told HaLeigh’s body was found on a search.
3. The Rat issue… Ron claims, with Witness’s he was at the house with misty..
Conclusion, Someone is stirring the pot and keeping the side show very much in the public eye. Of Course this is to take the Attention away, from anyone actually thinking about the FACTS.. Wake up People, you are being Conned.
i dont think its fair for anyone to be accussing ron of putting the rat in tommys mailbox. apparently le doesnt take much credit to it or ron would have been arrested.
now until le arrest him for it, i think it would be best not to through it around as fact.
it seems everyone is taking tommys word as gold.
well whos to say tommy didnt do it himself? yea i know theres suppose to be a witness, well apparently agian le must not take much credit to it or they would have arrested ron already.
and we all know tampering with any mailbox is a federal offense. and im also sure,(which ive been wrong before) that if the sa thought there was any truth to it they would have already made offical charges. and quess what they havent.
PRAYING FOR HALEIGH ANN MARIE CUMMINGS SAFE RETURN HOME.
mlee, thank you for reminding me about LE’s original report. That has always bothered me.
Why did an officer write “Domestic related?”
Why? Was he stupid, incompetent or misinformed or all three?
Domestic would mean that Ron or Misty did it or the biological mother (who was not contacted by LE for at least five hours).
Was Ron stomping around yelling he’d beat up the person who took her? And did he accuse someone? His “not yet” in-laws? The “never was a wife” bio mom? One of his or Misty’s “friends/drug pals?” Or his “I’ll babysit for drugs and sex” not yet wife?
WHY did LE put “Domestic related” on the report?
Or does it simply and stupidly mean that the disappearance of a 5 year old child is “domestic related?” If so, then that official form needs to be changed so it has another category for this kind of thing.
I have, also, wondered about the dogs going in circles when following Haleigh’s trail. Was it because, someone was in a panic. Why was the search called off so suddenly? Why was the stolen gun found laying in a ditch? Why would someone steal a gun and leave it laying in a ditch?
Maybe, the trouble and fighting between Ron and Misty and all their relatives will cause someone to talk to LE and something valuable will be leaked. This was bound to happen—and this may be just what LE was waiting on. As long as the waters are peaceful, nothing is going to give in this case.
It may take a while, but the truth almost always comes out, especially, during fall-outs among relatives. I hope someone else doesn’t come up missing, dead, or hurt—other than that, all of this may be for the best.
Let’s not give up now; let’s see what comes out of all this!!!
Do you think that Haleigh might have been killed and placed in a near by swamp area. I have had a gut feeling about this for 2 months. Is it possible that in rule areas of Florida that wild life such as allegators and crocodiles.

Personally I don’t think or believe that Misty had anything to do with Haleigh being abducted nor taken; here’s why, she has voluntarily went and been interrogated many times, she agreed to all of the lie detector test, she agreed to Tim millers test, the hypnosis, and even aked if they could give her some type of truth serum. The only thing she is lying about is being at home I do think she was out doing drugs w/friends not worried about the kids waking up, and thinking she would be home way before Ron ever arrived; I do believe someone knows exactly where that baby is and that someone is a family member on either side. But now that the police are involved they are panicing and don’t know how to get her back unnoticed, I believe she is alive because family is involved, why only take one child if you are a pedofile? there mistake was taking the one that can talk and tell everything if found; if the LE don’t hurry up and change there barney Fife an Andy Griffin ways of doing there job it will soon be too late, cause the familys are turning against each other and will soon start singin like birds.
