An Update from our very good friend TJ Hart of The Sky 97.3
TJ Hart Reporting
Over the course of the investigation, several psychics and some family members of Haleigh Cummings have asked the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office to search a nearby property one more time for clues in the disappearance five-year-old Haleigh Cummings.
Haleigh Cummings was last seen between 8pm and 10pm February 10, 2009 in her father’s Hermit’s Cove home in Putnam County near Satsuma, Florida.
The girl was in the care of Haleigh’s father’s 17-year-old girlfriend–now teen bride– Misty Croslin-Cummings. Misty was the last person to see Haleigh and her inconsistent timelines given to police have been frustrating for investigators in this case.
The property in question is just through the wooded area behind the former home of Ronald Cummings and has a green trailer on in it. The man who lives in the trailer is reported to be a rent-free tenant of a landlord who has granted him permission to reside there.
It is this trailer that has psychics and some members of Haleigh’s family convinced that the child’s body might be buried there.
Previous comments made by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and by Major Gary Bowling state that every square inch of the wooded area has been searched and so has the property in question.
I was filing live reports from Hermit’s Cove for 97.3 The Sky and for several CNN Headline News programs (Nancy Grace, ISSUES with Jane Velez-Mitchell and PRIME NEWS with Mike Galanos) the day the cadaver dogs were there and hit upon the dumpsters. I saw the dogs roaming through that wooded area, but not on the property where the green trailer sits.
These requests have come in to law enforcement ever since Haleigh vanished. One woman told me she was ordered not to contact the sheriff’s office anymore with her claims regarding the trailer.
I wrote to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office Saturday asking if another search of the property could be conducted. It wasn’t because I believe in psychics–It’s only because history shows there might be a good reason to look again.
The body of 9-year-old Jessica Lundsford might not have ever been found had it not been for the people in that Homasassa, Florida neighborhood who insisted the property where John Evander Couey had been staying be searched again.
In that case, Couey–a repeat sex offender–took the girl from her unlocked home and held her captive at the trailer where he was staying with a relative. Over several days, Couey sexually battered the girl and fed her pizza while hiding her from his relatives. Couey panicked after police came by the trailer but didn’t bother to go inside. He dug a hole on the property, bound and gagged the girl and gave her a stuffed dolphin to hold (so she wouldn’t be afraid) as he placed her in a plastic bag and buried her alive.
Maybe this property is worth another look?
So far, over 4000 leads have come into the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.
Putnam County Sheriff’s officials have stated repeatedly that no one has been cleared in the investigation.Â

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIMO This is a good thing. Its been long time coming. I pray Haleigh is brough home one way or the other.I hope alive but we dont always get what we hope for.
Isn’t that the same trailer that Ron’s mom led Cobra back to? She was crying and she ran off. I’m all for them searching, but I just remembered that and found it a little odd.
That is the one, Niecey.
It’s also the one where there are allegedly underground “hog pens”, IIRC.
I hope they do search there again. That man said that LE could not search there without a search warrant, I believe.
Thanks! I thought so. Very interesting and I really hope they do search and search it thoroughly. I don’t understand why they have had such cold feet on this one. It’s like night and day how LE acts on Haleigh’s case versus how LE has been on Caylee’s case. I hate to say it but they remind me more on Haleigh’s case of how LE acted in Natalie Holloway’s case. Like it’s just not a priority, and they aren’t interested in solving it. JMO.
Who is the sheriff’s office protecting?
I am a shaman and I believe that the girl is alive–searching around Florida is needed as far as saying that a search was conducted; however I get that the girl is in Texas, in between Dallas Fort Worth and that she is with a man named David Knox. That’s what I get from the spirits, but of course its kind of hard to use what I know as evidence in a courtroom.
Hopefully, someone will use this information in some way and actually get her back to Florida.. there can only be so many David Knoxes in Texas I would think.
if i thought my baby was in that trailer i would rip it apart with my bare hands…what are her family waiting for????????? get off your arses and look for haleigh…
Hello: Well, I don’t think that this man had anything to do with her disappearance, How ever giving the fact that, If he was an elderly Person, and living right close to Ron And Misty,and maybe hearing all the fuss that Might have gone on there at times, Maybe he found the child wondering around and he took her,, or maybe it was him that night that Jr, Thought he saw a black man taking Haleigh, Remember – Being that it was at night time, If your in the dark you can’t see very well, and the child Might have saw what he thought was a Black man, But with all my heart and GUT FEELINGS!!!! I think – Misty and Ron got into a fight that late after noon, and Ron with his fit’s that he has, Hit Haleigh by accident – killer her, and left Misty and his Mommy to clean up the mess, and his mother went along with it because She knew Haleigh was all ready gone and couldn’t do anything more for her, But didn’t want for to see her Sonny boy go to Jail so she went alone with the Saga, Course Ronnie has gotten out of so much over the past few years, – well I guess he also got away with this. As Far as that Man goes in that Trailer, well Given the fact that it’s been quite a few months- most likely had removed the Body by now. But I think Again my gut feeling is Ronnie and Mommy and Mist took care of that matter,, Look at the Situation of the People who got caught carting their Dead Daughter from State to State, and Placing her where ever just so as not to get caught!!! for over a Year!!!! There is more of them kind of people in this world that One would like to think! – Find Haleigh!!! Ron – Misty – Mommy – you know where she is – fess up! you Sooner or Later will get Caught!!!! I Know you Done it! And Most likely Buried her Right around that Trailer your Own Selves, So Some one else would go down for what you your Self Had Done, This is why after the Dogs Hit on that Dumpster, Ron was Yelling Why did you let them Take her,, Some one else was in on this too!!! Most likely at the time he was to caught up in the ACT, of acting, that he didn’t Quite know where his Culprits done with her!!!
I don’t believe Ron had anything to do with it. It was interesting Chad came up again in Simon’s weekend wrap up. I wish they would go whole hog through bio-mom’s side of the family.
I agree and believe they (LE) should backtrack and search any and every location that has not be gone through with a fine tooth comb. Everything. If and Lord forbid that Haleigh is found in one of these areas, then the next step begins. If Haleigh is not found, then the possibility of Haleigh’s being alive continues to a probability.
And then the Le will make a new determination.
If they have evidence that leads them to believe Haleigh was Harmed, then that will be the path they travel..
If they DO NOT have evidence that leads them to believe that Haleigh was Harmed, then that will be the path they travel.
One must remember, the dogs tracked Haleigh’s scent, down to the River and Back up on Green Ln. Eventually, out of the area. How it works.

Now, being very honest, Haleigh in human form had to be present in the area the dogs tracked, and it wanders around the neighborhood, with the appearance of someone being lost and having trouble trying to find their way out. Now, the choice are they carring a screaming and struggling child out, through this wandering pattern int he neighborhood, or is she willing going with whomever she is with? Is she walking or being carried? Food for Thought.
I hope and pray they find Haleigh.
Yes I think they should allow another search. How does a child just up and disappear without somebody knowing something. I think Misty and Ronald’s timing was to calculated from the time she saw hALEIGH WAS MISSING TO THE TIME ronald came home and then they made the 911 call. The way I see it Misty was partying and she left those kids alone and when she came back she was gone. Why hasnt Misty been arrested I dont understand why this is at such a stand still and nothing is being done.
I say, “search the area” once again. There are many who feel strongly about this so…they should do it!!! As for the bio mom or her family…I don’t see them involved in Haleigh’s disappearance. Ron and Misty on the other hand…involved definitely…whether indirectly or through someone else. I believe they all know something but are too scared to speak up but it will all come out and when it does, that community is going to be devastated….especially if any of them were supporting them. I just pray to God that closure is brought for this family…I would so much rather it be that Haleigh be returned safely but I just don’t see that…I’m sorry for those words but there is just too many inconsistencies about all of this and the stories they tell. I am praying for a better day for the part of the family that is “torn to pieces” over this. May God Bless them all.
I totally agree that this area must be searched again…I too remember when gramma and cobra went wandering out in the back woods. Gramma ran leaving cobra alone. I am not suggesting gramma knows anything except that she wants her baby girl found, but I couldn’t help find that alittle odd. if misty went out that evening perhaps she left before the children were asleep…you know plugged in the tv babysitter and told the kids they could stay up to watch and step mommy will be right back…gotta run up to the store for smokes and more treats. Maybe the movie ended before it was dark so little haleigh went outside to look for her and got lost and or abducted. Either way Misty Croslin was supposed to be in charge of those babies, and one of them is now missing. Wasn’t Casey Anthony charged with child endangerment because she couldn’t account for her childs whereabouts? I don’t give a big rip about how much time lapsed before reporting it to police…the bottom line is that she (Misty) failed to keep this child out of harms way and as far as I’m concerned that is a crime and she should be held accountable. I think they should haul her slutty little ass in every single day and go over her lie until she either cracks (and I believe she would) or is forced to hire an attorney. She was the last person to see that child alive, which IMO would force her to remain available to le any and everyday for questoning…Ronald Cummings has had so many felonies dropped or dismissed because he set other drug people up so I’m not surprized that this happened to his family. What does surprize me is that le has given up for some reason. What dirt does Ronnie the snitch have on them that haleigh is being swept under the rug??? It will all come out in the end I guess.
