Ronald Cummings, the father of missing 6 year-old Haleigh Cummings is divorcing his wife Misty Croslin-Cummings.
This had been a rumor that was spreading like wildfire online. Confirmation came last night on a prime time cable news TV station.
Ronald Cummings told CNN’s Nancy Grace Tuesday:
The two of us have agreed to go separate ways
VIDEO:
Cummings says he and Misty agreed to split up, partly related to his daughter’s disappearance and Misty’s story of what happened the night she went missing and the difficulty they have when going out in public.
Misty Croslin has left town again, apparently under the wing of a ‘well heeled’ new friend. There is some speculation that this new friend may have connections to a well known organization. We will update this article as soon as we have more information.
Haleigh Cummings has been missing since early February, October 10th will mark the 8 month mark in the search for this missing child.
If you have any information regarding the case please contact Crime Stoppers, or the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

Crystal has always acted weird to me. She seems very detached during any interview. I have never been able to understand her one word answers or simply lack of answers. I too am not really sure just what it is about her that is off. I do remember initially being suspicious of her when it was talked about that her inhaler may have been taken with her. Ron now says the inhaler was not taken from the home, but the original statement from le that something that was always with Haleigh was missing from the home.
Remember the reports that the Sheffeilds had staged the search where Nay Nay’s keys were found? Cobra, you were there, if you are listening, has anything else come to light surrounding the allegedly staged search? It was reported that there was a man at the search claiming to be FBI that clearly wasn’t. How come we have not heard more about that?
PS. Looks like Nancy’s producers let a few comments slip in there that dispute her insistence that Misty refuses to talk to le. I think it is more that le only wants to talk to her if she will tell them what they want to hear. Maybe she is telling the truth and is just scared she is going to get the blame cause they aren’t looking for anyone else. I hope that isn’t true, I don’t know what le is doing, but it seems they decided early on she is the ‘key’, I hope they have continued and have considered that they might be wrong.
Connections to a well known organization?
Please not Kid Finders??!!!Nooooo……..
Will the circus ever end?
mariesilk; wasn’t that guys name John Regan???
So…I have a question that maybe one of you can answer? Does anyone have a transcript of the private poly that Misty flunked? Obviously we don’t have copies of the LE polys she took and failed. I’m sure she didn’t fail every question…so the real point about her failing polys is “what questions did she fail?” and “did she fail the same questions repeatedly?”
I’m not convinced that Misty hurt that baby. However, I do believe she knows what happened to her and the story she is giving is nothing but a lie to cover for SOMEONE. I don’t think its Ronald. I think she is scared that Ronald will kill her for being out with the kids when she should have been at home and then letting something happen to Haleigh. Remember that Ronald does have a history of violent behavior. Even on the 911 tape, you hear Misty wimpering and crying. I think more in FEAR of Ronald and, maybe, remorse for Haleigh.
Whatever happened, I don’t think it was intentional. I think you just have a lot of scared (drug-addicted) kids who are trying to keep the truth from coming out because that’s what kids do.
Yes it was, what the he77 were they doing?
What would be the motivations behind the family of a missing girl to try and mislead authorities.
IMO this has not been talked about enough. Ron and Misty have been a very effective in creating enough drama to cover for this. Crystal has really managed to fly under the radar here.
I still maintain, being a hillbilly doesn’t make you guilty, just makes for a good story.
Sorry, my last post was in response to Hypervigilant.
Ron appears to have trouble formulating complete thoughts and sentences. Is he stoned, nervous, or having difficulty remembering the script that his lawyer suggested he stick to? Perhaps all the above?
Moreover, I find it odd that Ron cannot tell Nancy Grace, neither pre-break up with Misty, nor post break-up, that he is concerned with Misty’s inconsistancies, failed polygraphs, and failure to answer his phone calls and her brother’s knocks on the door that night.
If I were in Ron’s shoes, the only reason I would hold back from voicing concern over Misty’s inconsistancies, failed polygraphs, and failure to answer the door when Tommy knocked, was if I was responsible partially or completely for Haleigh’s disappearance and I did not have the heart to let Misty take all the blame.

Ooops…..hee hee I mean MiisingKY, one of those days.
WATCHED THE FATHER LAUGHING AT QUESTIONS ON DRUG PARTY’S… WHAT’S UP WITH THAT ?.I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPEND TO MY DAUGHTER. HE KNOWS. HE LAUGHS AT QUESTIONS… NOW TELL ME THAT’S NOT STRANGE ?… YOUR BABY GIRL HAS BEEN GONE HOW LONG NOW & YOU ACT STUPID … CRAZY AS A FOX !. STANDS UP FOR HIS GIRL FRIEND. THEN TUNS AROUND & MARRY’S THIS GIRL KNOWING SHE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPEND TO HIS BABY GIRL.. WOULD YOU TURN AROUND & MARRY SOMEONE LIKE THAT?.. I DON’T THINK SO HMMMMMMMMM.
No one knows for sure that Misty is lying.
Mariesilk, it was Haleighs nebulizer. It is used to do breathing treatments also using albuterol. Crystals nebulizer for Haleigh was accounted for,but not the one at Rons home.
I saw the clip of LE stating they hope Misty will come in with her lawyer and go through the timeline and perhaps they can figure out some of her inconsistencies and why.
I honestly thought Nancy was a little more abrasive with Ron last night. When she asked him about Misty speaking with LE. He was trying to say he did not know about that. She then went to Rons lawyer and asked him the same question and his statement was yes they do want to sit down with Misty and her attorney. Then she told Ron not to lie to her. She said’ you have not lied to before, that I know of, so don’t start lying to me now”.
I do not believe this divorce is over her dysfunctional family, the stares they receive,or the media. He did not care about the staring when they were at the fair, taking money from the donation jars and proposing to Misty in the midst of his daughters disappearance or wanting free food in restaurants!! This goes much deeper than that. Perhaps custody of little Jr. has Ron pushed into a corner. He may lose custody of Jr. if Misty is still with him in the home. It would not look good if he chose to keep his teen bride over his own sons welfare. I am sure they will keep in touch; along with private meetings. Rons answers led everyone to believe they could reconcile after this case is solved.
mariesilk: I really have no idea other than the fake FBI guy ,( guess I shouldn’t have thrown his name out there like I did) , didn’t he end up running The HaleighBug Foundation. Could money have something to do with it. Makes my head spin trying to figure it out.
Mariesilk, you are so pathetic, are you hoping now Ronald will want to date you? If you are over 16, he wont want you, perhaps you have a daughter you would like to sacrifice just to be closer to FAB?
I saw him laughing to and I also thought his eyes were larger than normal. I could be wrong. In other interviews his eyes do seem to appear so wide- eyed, but last night they did.
VivaMalesherbes:
Welcome to the discussion. I don’t know how you have come around to that type of opinion of me, you don’t know me. And what have I said that would make you think I am on Ron’s side?
This is the exact behavior I am talking about. Why is that as soon as someone suggests they follow the evidence trail instead of the drama it turns ugly?
I am only trying to look at ALL aspects of this case, I don’t know what happened and if you do you should phone le right away, they want to talk to you.
And what is FAB?
So much for a few people trying to get their facts straight?
There is some speculation that this new friend may have connections to a well known organization. We will update this article as soon as we have more information

Oh what’s this, TJ doing a Nancy Grace on everyone.
Let me guess? Leonard Padilla?
Justice:
Thank you for the clarification. I think the nebulizer would be key. Why would anyone take it with her if it was just a SO abduction? I hope that le is looking closely at extended family on both sides of this.
Does anyone know if Ron was collecting disability payment or social security for Haleigh’s Turner’s syndrome.
Hello Simon? Can we do anything about posters like ‘Harry Kunt’? this is not a joke
haleighsvillage@yahoo.com
please support. Awareness for Haleigh.
Over 400 emails so far. Thank you!
Armondo: Thanks for the update, mine is one of those emails. Despite earlier comments, please keep us posted on your progress.
There are two articles on BNN referencing “hackers used e-mails to direct victims to phony bank Web sites, where they were asked to provide account numbers. Authorities say the crooks then raided their bank accounts.”
And some of you are handing your email address over to Armando, no questions asked.
Two nights ago a poster on Topix said her browser was being redirected to another site, she had been hijacked. People, use your heads.
And Simon, I don’t know why you allowed it.
Mariesilk, just like Ron, you like to abuse Crystal- sick, sick-sick-

Do this from your own personal WEB SITE where you can be identified, if needed.
What you are doing is not appropriate.
I am not abusing anyone. Why is it OK to point out what Ron has done wrong or suspicious and not Crystal? Neither one of them are role models here.
Makes me wonder just who YOU are….
I still don’t see any answers to my questions. Why doesn’t anyone want to talk about it?
what questions mariesilk?
Has anyone heard anything about the search that was conducted in San Mateo with the Sheffeild’s, a cadaver dog, Cobra and a man pretending to be an FBI agent?
I heard about it in the beginning of the case and now nothing….
Just wondering how the mother’s side is doing, you never hear anything.
Someone just pointed out on another site that about the around the last 17 seconds of the 911 call…(after the operator called them back)…you can hear someone pushing buttons – with the beep, beep, beep, (and not the 911 beep that happens periodically)like someone trying to start a microwave or some washing machines make those noises. It’s not a cell phone because cell phones don’t have monotone beeps.
Then you can hear Ron in the background saying, “F_ck,”…..and something that sounds like this thing will not start.
Did Ron start the washing machine? Or was he fixing himself a little snack in the microwave right in the midst of calling 911 because his daughter was missing? Go listen to that 911 call.
Verrrrrry interesting.
Folks, regarding internet safety, emails are vulnerable to attack. The risk only gets worse with email hosts like yahoo and hotmail (and some others). The email addresses Armando is collecting could easily be targeted by hackers -without Armando even knowing it – so it is not an issue of trusting Armando. It is an issue of basic internet safety.
Unfortunately it’s even more likely that the emails could be hacked because the goal of collecting 200,000 emails is being widely advertised. That’s a very tempting target for hackers/phishers.
Please see some of the recent articles right here on BNN by Robert Siciliano. A recent one is called “Up to 1 Million Email Accounts Phished for Identity Theft.” Oct 6, 2009
Article # 122521.
Uproar, you are right. But a lot of times people don’t even know that their computer has been hijacked. Eventually some signs might show – like it’s slower than it used to be etc. There are a lot of things hackers can do once they “own” your computer including using it along with thousands of others to attack major corporations and government agencies.
One other thing, emails on computers are not very safe but on phones or Blackberrie-type devices? TOTALLY UNSAFE!
In the case of the Topix poster, she was trying to go to Putnam County Booking Log and Putnam County records and her security alerted her but took her to another address with Putnam1 in it. Totally different URL.
Some people bite, and as you see here, people easily allow themselves to be targets.
I have done everything I can do. I emailed Jan and Simon and have copied the post to the FBI Cyber Crime Unit. There is no reason why someone would want 200,000 email addresses unless it was for nefarious purposes.
I don’t know why this Armando poster is supposed to be taken at face value, it is really sad people don’t have better common sense.
If and when someone bank account gets raided when they come back here to complain, I can just hear Simon and Cobra telling them, can’t help you there.
Armando needs to set up his own website to harvest email addresses.
Found a forum discussing how you can use a nebulizer to smoke pot.
Hmmmm……could this have something to do with the missing nebulizer?
Food for thought
Here is the link, I don’t hang out on here, just following a hunch, lol.
http://anarchistcookbook.com/f48/nebulizer-and-pot-oh-yeah-and-heroin-t9057/
The nebulizer is not missing. Ron just discussed this on Nancy Grace last night.
sorry everyone but this is the thread that Simon has told me to shut down. That is what happens when things get out of hand. But before I close it down I would like to say that armando is not a hacker and he only has good intentions in what he is doing. NO ONE has to send him their email addresses if they do not want to and for those that do it should be their decision not anyone else’s. By now anyone using the internet, at least the adults, know of the dangers involved and if they want to risk it that should be their choice. I can understand why some are against it but it has been publicly announced of the danger so it should be left up to the commenter now. PLEASE let it go. If you don’t approve of it then simply don’t participate.
Thanks
