BNN has been following the Haleigh Cummings case from day one. It has been a frustrating trail to follow, but during the past 14 months we have made many friends. One of those friends is Armando Aldazabal. I first met Armando when I reviewed his latest book Cocaine Memoirs.
We kept in touch after the review and interview. I discovered that he too had an interest in the search for Haleigh Cummings and in fact knew the Satsuma area well. Over the months he has become our eyes and ears on the ground. When Jail tapes are released he is our vital link, he runs down to the jail picks up the DVD’s and loads them to one of our servers. He also spent much of his time during the search of the Shell Harbour area of the St. Johns area on-site for us. Using his connections he was able to access an area that other members of the press were precluded from and was able to provide up to the minute coverage. Who needs a helicopter when you have Armando?
I was talking to Armando yesterday and he wants to do something unique for BNN readers, he is donating 10 copies of Cocaine Memoirs for give away. All you have to do is email to www.mando4jaime@gmail.com and tell him why you would like to read Cocaine Memoirs. The ten best emails will receive an autographed copy.

Armando, that is a very nice gesture. Wish you much success!
oops lol please poof 2 of my same comments.sorry lol
Aramndo that is a really nice thing to do. Thank for the efforts to help bring all info on our little Angel Haleigh anne- marie- Cummings. God Bless you along with the many others keeping Haleigh front and center.
Thank God the little 3 year old missing from Bunnell, Fl. was found in New York and brought home safe. AMEN to one less statistic. We need all this to stop!!
This is a nice thing to do. If you email, make sure you do not put in the “www” part of the email address above. That is, if you copied and pasted like I did. LOL on my part.
Hello….My amazing….World 😉
Very amazing, what a blessing way to honor Haleigh Cummings.
Thank you Armando for all you do and best of luck with your book!
Armando, I hope if anyone writes a book about this it is you. I think you would do Haleigh justice and write the story in the way it needs to be writen.jmo
Ditto above comments, and my appreciation to all looking for justice and truth.
A few thoughts relating to the Haleigh investigation.
I have heard from many people that Misty could not have done any laundry the night of Haleigh’s disappearance due to there not being any laundry soap. Has anyone ever been poor, or simply run out of laundry soap and used alternatives? Like shampoo, dish soap, body wash – and in a severe pinch just water? Given how tired and upset Misty was, if she did do laundry that night,the real question might be what evidence was she trying to remove? Was there any evidence of bleach or hydrogen peroxide usage in the house that night? Those items remove evidence.
The story about Joe looking for the assault rifle, and then when unable to locate it, supposedly taking his revenge by harming Haleigh can be checked out as well. I would think that there would be a pattern of movement as to where his palm and fingerprints are found, that demonstrates someone is looking for something, and if found, ought not to be there. That would give credence to the idea that Joe was part of Haleigh’s disappearance, vs. his claim that he is completely innocent. At the least, it might show criminal behavior that could also initiate an investigation that would put heat on him. He seems friable under pressure, and maybe a stint in jail would open him up, just like Tommy and Misty. On the other hand, it might help demonstrate his innocence, and how others are trying to make him the scapegoat. Either way, I’d think it would shed light on the situation.
Also, have the police ever verified and done a polygraph on the Cummings grandma to verify her story of having seen Haleigh in the evening? If not maybe they should, as a way to verify Haleigh was alive after her father went to work. I assume Jr. was questioned. Even he could verify that Haleigh was alive into the late evening. But do we know this for sure?
Anybody have answers to these thoughts? If not, maybe these are things the police, lawyers, investigators should be aware of?
The laundry issue came from a unreliable source AH was the one who said she didnt do laundry. Cant believe most of what he writes or says.
The assault rifle; Where would Joe put this if he were to have gotten it? He cant hide it in his luggage when he goes to leave. This was a lie from Misty. The first gun stolen was found in a ditch and more than likely was stolen by Tommy. We all know how he likes to steal guns.
I dont believe there are any reports on whether GGSykes was ever polygraphed. Misty never said she was there in any interview that we have , but she may have confirmed that she did stop over.
I would be interested in what Misty and Ron talked about in their last phone call at 8 and why Misty turned her phone off after that. jmo
That last phone call between Ron and Misty is very important I believe.JMO
Thanks all for your responses, sure would like verification of all from police though. Misty on video actually states she did laundry due to pee on blanket. If Joe did want the rifle, he would have easily concealed it in the vehicle.- If a true story- or disposed of it by selling to someone prior to leaving town perhaps. Bottom line- lot a lying going on. I think Gramma in Tennesse is lying too.
My understanding is that Ron and misty were in discord since she came back from her hot weekend and he was literally calling her from work every two minutes, and she finally shut him out by turning the phone off.

and if u r on twitter… I’m @49detox let me know ur from BNN so I don’t block
Thnk you for all the kind e-mails You guys have truly inspired me today.
a few copies left but because all of the requests I have more copies coming in and will be sending them to those who emailed me
just a thought : My worst downfall has come from not listening to myself and allowing my heart to take the lead.
Mental Note: Instead of continuing on my next novel… I will pause to revise my poetry book. Poetry has always been the window to my soul.. For now it’s entitled “My Life Metrically”
To everyone;
I have exchanged a few emails with Armando and find him to be intelligent, caring, and somewhat sensitive, wearing his heart and his emotions on his sleeve.
It is very apparent to me that even if our conversations have been few and only by email that he is a man that feels deeply for his children.
Armando, I would love to see you write the book on Haleigh and this case, not from the factual perspective, but from the emotional one. That would be a story worthy of your talent and emotions.
Thanks to Simon, Jan, TJ. and Armando for their unbiased reporting on this case. Its so disheartening to care about this case, but can not find a reputable and professional reporter to dish facts instead of sensationalism. You gave me my faith back that at least some people think of this child and give her the respect and dignity she so richly deserves, instead of the spin. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Ya`ll have definately become the “true” voice of Haleigh, and your dedication does not go unnoticed. Thanks again and much success Armando!
I was born in a woman’s body, then I came out! 🙂 …..I just have to day…damn!!! iLove my mom;)
