amazing the similarities between the anthony case and the cummings case. to many missing chilren. my heart goes out to those families. how sad.

I cannot help but question the answer’s the girlfriend give’s during these many interviews, not to be judgmental but the song is being played everytime with different lyric’s. I honestly believe since she was the last to see Haleigh alive that she is totally responsible for the children in that home, if she was arrested for negligance that we would be hearing an entirely different tune! I feel if this was done, we’d get somewhere. Praying for Haleigh! Lee

Hello, there.
It doent take a brain surgeon to know that she is in that lake. Hound dogs last tracked her scent there. Those sick pedifile bastards in her area ought to know. So should the cops. HELLO. STOP THIS MERRY GO ROUND AND GIVE THIS POOR FAMILY CLOSURE. tHOSE LOW LIFE PEDIFILES OUGHT TO BE HUNG IN PUBLIC. JUST LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. PUBLIC HANGINGS. i’LL BE THE CHEERLEADER TO CHEER IT ON. GET THEM OFF THIS PLANET. THEY ARE POISENED MINDS. dON’T DISERVE TO LIVE.
iF YOUR A SICK PEDIFILE READING THIS….i HATE U.

I was wondering if anybody had heard what kind of car the cousin of Misty drives and if it is the same kind that was spotted in Tenn. and why the police doesn’t show a picture of the cousin to the lady that says she spotted a man and a little girl that looked like Haleigh. It seems to me that if she got a good look at the man then she should be able to tell if it was the cousin or not. Also maybe the reason the dogs tracked the little girl to the river is maybe the person that took her was in a boat.
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:33 pm
I am so tired of reading about these children that are being ripped out of their homes, away from all things familiar, away from those that love them… and not being able to do something. So I made a community in the ning web. I gather information about a missing child, and post what I find. From there, community members circulate the information and pictures of the children through email, myspace, facebook, etc. The more people that see their faces, the better chance a child can come home.
Please, check it out… join the community, and lets get the beautiful faces of these children around the web.
God Bless~

I am praying for this family. I really want to see a picture of this cousin and to know what he was driving. Was anyone with him??????
February 24th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I dont care about this girl…im tired of hearing about her…just give up….
February 24th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
If you don’t care, then quit googling her name. About the best advice I can give you.
February 24th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Ok, to begin with, i am in Law Studies class here at school. We just had a lesson on child pedophiles. This girl is a 17 yr old girl and the dad is 24. The cops also need to focus on this issue. The cops are focusing all of their time on a pedofile who might have raped a child, well how about the girl friend who falls below the legal age of statuitory rape. The dad also needs to be charged with a charge for this issue too.
thanks and have a nice day
February 24th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I think this is Horrible. who would take a girl like this from her loving parents. i will pray for u in church. I pray everything goes allright
February 24th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
I don’t know why I am even wasting my time typing to a troll. Bob, I hope you are never in a situation where your family member is missing. You would not wish for people to stop caring. …..think……….
February 24th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I really hope they find Haleigh alive and well, and that should be the focus worry about the other issues that need to be addressed later. I hope and pray for Haleighs return every day.
February 24th, 2009 at 7:06 pm

February 25th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
this is just me but if that were my child or grandchild etc and i or we had the money i would contact sylvia brown. it is only $850.00 i mean it is well worth it if she can give any help. i know some people dont belive in physic readings but sylvia is THE ONLY ONE MONTEL WILLIAMS ALLOWS ON HIS SHOW and ALOT of us have great respect for the man. If there are any people out there who could maybe donate the 850.00 PLEASE PLEASE do. Others are donating to the reward but maybe this would be worth doing. the family wants ANYTHING WHATSOEVER that can help. This IS worth trying. I myself cant donate. My husband hasnt had work since October and im disabled and not able to work and i have no ssi etc. but if i did i would pay it myself. there is nothing i can do to help the family find her but if me giving this information helps then thank GOD!

Sherri, that’s what we need to do. With Haleigh, and all of the missing children. People need to stop sitting on their hands and start acting.
We need to give these children a better chance.
To those involved in Haleigh’s disappearance … tick tock
February 26th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
I JUST CANT BELIEVE SHE HAS JUST VANISHED AND THE LAW HAS TO WORD ON WHERE SHE COULD BE..SOMEONES GOT TO KNOW SOMETHING AND SOMEONE HAS GOT TO TALK.THIS CHILD IS IN DANGER I FEEL SHES ALIVE BUT I ALSO FEEL SHES SUFFERING I HAD A PASTOR TELL ME LASTNIGHT SHES ALIVE BUT HER MOM HAS GOT TO GET ON HER KNEES AND PRAY FAITH ON HER AND SHE WILL BE RELEASED I BELIEVE ITS A SPIRTUAL THING AND GODS TRYING TO GET SOMONES ATTENTION.HE SAID THE LAWS NOT GOING TO FIND HER ITS THE MOTHER WHO HAS TO PLEAD THE BLOOD OVER THIS CHILD. I KNOW YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYING BUT I DO BELIEVE GODS IN CONTROL.

Hello, I didn’t know a new Blog for Haleigh had been created until just now, so I notated my opinions about Haleigh on the Caylee Anthony Blog…thanks.

February 27th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Susan in response: I wonder why little brother Jr Cummings didn’t say something when the “Man in Black” was taking Haleigh out? It appears that it being his sibling “Cissy” he would have said something, wouldn’t he? “Maybe say where are you taking Cissy?” It’s all confusing right now. If Misty was out smoking possibly, then maybe the mysterious man was hidden in the house and had not appeared yet. I feel like this another tragedy that will have so many corners, which way to turn…do we go?
Be in touch.

February 27th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
I know it makes you wonder,poor haleigh. I hope she is found unharmed,as to her mental state , well that may be another thing……i seem after caylee Anthony to NOT believe anyone, so i have doubts about the dad too…very sad either way, and needs to stop
February 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
YOU ARE SO RIGHT..IM TRYING TO GET AHOLD OF THE GRANDMA NOW I HAVE CALLED HER BUT NO ANSWER IF I HEAR ANYTHING I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW..
March 1st, 2009 at 12:40 am
I have 7 children all togeather some are adults now but two sons left at home and I do not understand how some one in the same room can sleep through somebody being in the home, let alone coming into the same room and take the child from there sleeping spot.. maybe the girl friend did see something and was to scared to do anything at the time. fine but it’s time to tell the truth, I think the little boy is just repeating what someone has said to him as to why his sister isnt around.
I would also think that the real mother would be a little more concerned as well and alot more P.O… but she to me is just a little to nonchalant about all this, too calm to me…
March 1st, 2009 at 1:21 am
I just watched Crystal on Geraldo,again,how horrible to put your child in danger by saying he knows who the abductor is,but also show his face in an interview.She was coaching him what to say and he was just nodding yes.I don’t know how much she got paid but she’ll probably put it with the $4100 she owes in back support.For the life of me,I can’t understand how on Feb 10th she gets a letter of contempt of court to have to pay the money by March 27th and by Feb 11th Haleigh is missing.
March 1st, 2009 at 11:21 am
THERE IS STILL NO WHERE ABOUTS ON HALEIGH JUST TALKED TO GRANDMA MARIE WE REALLY GOT TO KEEP PRAYING FOR HER I SO MUCH WANT THIS CHILD FOUND..IM NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE HE SAID SHE SAID BULL ALL IM CONCERNED ABOUT IS HALEIGH BEING FOUND..
March 1st, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Does anyone think that maybe Crystal and boyfriend set this up for money???? Did she have a key to the trailer??? Another thing that seems shady is Misty did she maybe go outside searching for the gun they found outside??? There are so many psychic pred and did anyone check out Crystals myspace page??? Same with Mistysshe says shes afraid of cousin Joe but on his myspace it dont look like it
March 1st, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I agree with what you said Sherri, Everybody needs to just quit wasting their time by talking about the coulda wouldas & use that breath to speak to the Lord. Pray, Pray & Pray some more that this little girl comes home soon safe. Then they can focus on the other.
March 1st, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Carri, do you have the links to the MySpace pages? If so, can you post them? Thanks.
March 1st, 2009 at 4:15 pm
NO CRYSTAL DONT HAVE A KEY TO THAT TRAILOR AND NO THEY DIDNT SET THIS UP..CRYSTAL IS A GOOD PERSON YALL ARE JUST JUDGING BY WHATS ON TV.

Why are you on this Blog, or any other Blog for missing children…Are you A Pediphile looking for anything in particular?
I can not envision for the life of me the insensitivity of another denizen on this Planet taking the stance you have taken.
You are to be pitied and I wish you nothing but the worst in all you may do.

I don’t know who would want to view Misty’s trash on My Space along with those photos and the cousin.
Its pretty obvious that the trailer park trash is alive and well. I wouldn’t trust one single con in those photos, they would do anything evil.
They all look like criminals, and the narcotics, cigarettes, nasty photos are demeaning.
They ought to close that site down.

Winchell it’s rude and insensitive the way you blurt out your negativity.
I personally think Haleigh is kidnapped for a deal her father made. It is not the girlfriend, she is the only one really telling the truth, in my opinion.
I pray Haleigh is safe, but we can all try to have enough faith that she is safe.
I am so sorry for Ms Neves the grandmother, she is a broken woman.
I can only surmise her agony for Haleigh. may God bless that family and bring Haleigh home safe.
Betty Jo
March 8th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
I have left comments and none of them have been put on here why? I have said nothing bad about any of them other then I think the childs natural mother isnt showing any kind of real concern, ( No crying nothing ) if that was my child I would probably be in jail POed or in the mental instatute, There is no way I would be that calm…
March 9th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
This is again – a very sad, sad situation.
I pray for Haleigh’s family that she will finally make it home.
Summer will soon be here – and that puts more of our children at risk. So before summer arrives – mothers, grandmothers, and anybody with small ones – keep the children a little closer and your eyes wide open. I can’t understand how this can happen to anyone at any age.
March 9th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
The man wearing a black t-shirt who abducted Haleigh seems like he knew what he was doing.
He went directly to her room.
Was he a white man wearing eye glasses?
He must have been very strong to yank her out of her bed.
Haleigh’s shirt that was found nearby was it filled with smoke?
Do the family members smoke in the home or outside of the home?
March 10th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Isnt’ it interesting that they are getting married all of a sudden. My thought is they know the police are close and Misty probably knows more than she is sharing. They are in such a rush to get married so they don’t have to testify against one another!
March 10th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Why is a 24 year old man even dating a 17 yr old? Appears there are a lot of family issues there.
March 10th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
I THINK THEY SHOULD LOCK THAT LITTLE GIRLFRIEND UP FOR A MINIMUM OF 1 WEEK FOR QUESTIONING, SHE WILL BREAK AND TELL SOMETHING. I JUST FEEL THAT SHE KNOWS SOMETHING!!! MY PRAYES ARE WITH HALEIGH AND THE MOM AND THE GRANDMA
March 10th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
i was thinking the same thing.with the two getting married.what if it is him 24 her 17 he could go to jail if cops push it!!!!!!!!!!!! her under age .what do you think?
March 10th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
I have so much compassion for Ms Neves the paternal Grandmother. She is so sad and can not speak with out tears, and that means a broken heart. The entire family needs all the prayers they can get, but she seems to need it more right now.
God bless them all and we can pray that Haleigh will be home safe very soon.
Our world in a a terrible shape so much so that our children are not safe even in their own rooms at home. Too many FL child stealings. Its terrific the abuse that is in FL

There are many opinions about the upcoming wedding of Ronald Cummings and Misty. It would appear they should have waited until Haleigh came home, since she was so happy they would eventually marry according to the engagees.
Betty Jo, Illinois
March 11th, 2009 at 7:47 am
I honestly haven’t been keeping up with this story, it is so sad. I don’t know all the details. I do not understand though how or why they would get married now? If my child was missing I’m sure I couldn’t eat, sleep, function, let alone plan a wedding. I would think they would want Hayleigh to be there as well., wait for Her to come home. I don’t know…. just heartbreaking…
March 12th, 2009 at 10:05 am
How can someone say “Idon’t Care…get over it etc” I don’t know this family personally but I hope the child is not dead or being abused or molested. We hear everyday of murder and rape on adults. Can people just now even think haw awful and frightening this is for a child. I don’t understand all the aspects of this case, and because it hasn’t happenned to me it is hard to imaging someone in my room taking a child lying near me..but I think it is possible, especially if the child didn’t waken or was silent. I hope she is ok but as time marches on chances are she isn’t.
March 12th, 2009 at 11:31 am
WEDDING!!! AT A TIME LIKE THIS, HOW SELFISH!!!! ALSO WHY DID THE MOM LOSE CUSTODY AND IF HE WAS SUCH A BAD DAD WHY DID SHE NOT TAKE HIM TO COURT? I REALLY LIKED THE BIO MOM UNTIL LASTNIGHT WHEN THEY SAID SHE KNEW THERE WASNT SOMETHING RIGHT IN THE HOME WHERE THE HILDREN LIVED!!! AND YOU DID NOTHING ABOUT IT? STILL THINK SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE GIRLFRIEND/BABYSITTER EITHER, SO WHERE IS THE SAFEST PLACE FOR THESE TWO BABIES?
March 13th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
OK I HAVE 2 QUESTIONS! WHERE HAS MISTYS MOM BEEN THROUGH ALL THIS SHE NEVER HAS BEEN MENTIONED UNTIL SHE WENT TO THE COURT HOUSE WITH RONALD AND MISTY! SEEMS TO SHOW SUPPORT THEN BUT NOT THROUGH THE SEARCH OF HALEIGH???
March 16th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
THIS IS ANOTHER MESSED UP CASE OF A MISSING CHILD. MY OPINION IS THAT THE GIRLFRIEND, IS AFRAID OF RON CUMMINGS AND AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH. I THINK SHE WENT OUT OF THE HOUSE AFTER THE CHILDREN WERE ASLEEP LEFT THE DOOR OPENED WITH THE CEMENT BLOCK AND THE 5YR HAYLEIGH MAY HAVE WOKEN UP DIDN’T SEE “MISTY” AND JUST MAYBE WANDERED OUTSIDE TO FIND HER AND MAYBE WANDERED IN THE WOODED AREA SOMEHOW. THIS MISTY PERSON MADE SURE SHE WAS BACK IN THE HOUSE BEFORE “RON” GOT HOME AND DISCOVERED THE LITTLE GIRL WAS GONE. EVEN THOUGH HAYLEIGH IS SUPPOSE TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, ETC., SHE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE AFRAID OF NOT SEEING THIS MISTY IN THE HOUSE AND JUST WALKED OUT TO FIND HER. THIS WHOLE STORY IS REAL FISHY. I DON’T THINK MISTY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER BEING MISSING I JUST THINK SHE JUST WAS VERY NEGLECTFUL. ALSO WITH THE FATHER GETTING MARRIED TO THIS 17 YEAR OLD NOW IS NUTS!! THIS GIRL IS YOUNG, DOES SHE GO TO SCHOOL, DOES SHE WORK, DOES SHE DRIVE???? WHAT DOES SHE DO???
March 17th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
SOME SHE NOS. WHY COULD SHE NOT ANWER MATT ON THE TODAYS SHOW.ALL SHE DID WAS SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR RON.
March 17th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
SORRY IT WAS TO BE SHE KNOWS SOMETHING.BUT COULD NOT CHANGE
March 17th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
There is the possibility that Haleigh was awakin by a sound and then the kitchen light and thinking that her dad was home got up and went into the other room and when the intruder saw her then took her knowing that she could identify them… Why was an intruder there in the first place is the question….? It had to be someone they knew. They wanted something else and poor Haliegh ended up being taken as well… Ron and Misty need to be more then honest….You know what was really going on in that house yeah Ron you were at work and god knows you didnt do this but you know why someone went into your house, and you know what they wanted when you can tell the police this then you have a better chance at finding your daughter… And you need to have Misty tell the truth It’s hard to think that the one you love may have done something .. but she was the one responsible for her missing she needs to tell the truth, Ron put your daughter first her love is unconditional Misty’s is just to not get in TROUBLE… haliegh is your heart Ron give her your respect and love please give it to her…
March 18th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Well here is my supposition. If Misty spoke as a southerner, then she did not lie. If someone says she slept by me, that simply meant in the same room, not the same bed. Giving the benefit of the doubt we can surmise this to be true.
I was taken aback at Misty’s demeanoor when on the Today Show as well. If she left the trailer and went some place after the kids were asleep, she should fess up and give the search teams a better chance of finding Haleigh.
This is one sad event of returns on changing the face of what really happened.
A seventeen is usually more than likely to take a hike after kids are asleep.
Crystal is losing my respect altogether too.
If Ron Cummings literally stole these kids by giving the bogus address for Crystal, then he should lose the children bck to the mother. She can’t keep a court date if NOT notified!!
He is guilty of kidnapping because Crystal’s address was bogus and Ron Cummings gave the bogus address to authorities, and is liable for his lies causing Crystal to lose her rights to these kids..from the erroneous address in Jacksonville.
The grandma (Crystal’s mom) has a record as long as my arm. The question still remains, “how did she get a school bus driving job with a narcotic record????
Odd as Hell to me, as a record is a record. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is a duck.
Something smells in Denmark, and its dead fish!

Also 2 stories on the “man in black” that took Haleigh had changed.
Now there are words “black man” not a man in black…that has surfaced!
You Satsuma, FL people should get it straight or Haleigh may NEVER be found.
Ronald Cummings said once to Geraldo, he was 75% sure he knew who had Haleigh did he not?
Then why is he not telling the sheriff that he knows this.
I hear things and not many come to fruition on this guy He should step back and take the chip off his shoulders and be more concened about his daughter’s well-being. He needs serious anger management sessions that lasts about a year!!!!!!!!!

2 things.afriend is on anthor blog mistys just got back with ron the day before she when missing,she was with rons uncle. too did any one hear the p.i cobra?said the case will be closed very soon,he was talking to a reporter the chann, nacy s on.
March 19th, 2009 at 2:07 am
I just cannot accept no one has any ideas , answers, suspicions about this little girl .. No one is talking really . It is sickening that the engagement gets more public exposure than the little girl.It is pretty disgusting that between the Casey Anthony case and this case suspects just say whatever they want and change storys daily and get away with it.Like changing underwear . The police and investigators put no pressure what so ever on these suspects . And the interview with the Dad on Nancy Grace he looked so put out , rolling his eyes , shaking his head he is a winner!!!! Lack of education i guess!!No self control !!!! One would have to question his self control around his daughter???? NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING !!! Okay swallow that people!!!! Also the dumpster ?? The cadaver dogs hit on something in there . Was the dumpster emptied prior ???? The damn dogs smelled something . LIttle foot prints in the path near the house???? Some one knows something and detetectives are being way to easy on these suspects!!!! Look what happened to little Caylee Anthony possibly at the hands of her own mother. I think someone in the family knows exactly what happened!!!!! I also cannot understand, if he could by a ring for his girlfriend , why couldn’t he invest in a beds for his children ?? He looks medicated / on drugs everytime he is on t.v. Drug related people . Who would have drug addicts around children???? Irresponsible parents that have no class. A child should be in that enviornment, it is a recipe for disaster.The state needs to clamp down on these parents that do not properly care for children.I don’t know??? The whole family looks and sounds uneducated and complacent about this whole ordeal !!! Digusting!!!!!
March 19th, 2009 at 2:17 am
I feel strongly that the Bio Mom is telling the truth about the dad. she says he is abusive , well watch the Nancy grace show it will tell you the same, his body language. He appears to be short fused. Poor little girl. I hope the Mom can find out more about the situation Haleigh was living in prior . Maybe some outsiders , friends know something ????? More investigation . And more people need to talk, it seems like the only one telling it how it really is with Ron and Mindy is the Bio mom!!! Good luck !! God Bless !!! p.sOnly a man that is abusive talks to a woman like he did to Mindy on the 911 call!!!!
March 19th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
This is a sad story. I know that with all of the children that go missing there are the ones that have been harmed by their parent(s). Let us not judge too quickly about these parents and the fathers girlfriend. Even though they may not be the kindest people around, that doesn’t mean that they hurt her. I’m sure you have all heard about Jessica Lunsford, remember what happened to her, she was taken from her home in the middle of the night by a stranger.
I understand that with people like Casey Anthony in the news it is easy for us to assume that Haleigh was hurt by her parent or someone close to her. But I think that we should give this family a chance. Remember, this can happen to any of us, wouldn’t you want to be given a chance?
March 19th, 2009 at 9:18 pm
I have to agree with Linda. Maybe many don’t remember the Elizabeth Smart case in UT. She was a teenager and her sister was in the room. Elizabeth was taking from her bedroom. She was missing nine months before she got to a point where she alerted for help. Thank God she was one of the stories who returned alive. When some thing like this happens the mind is not clear and alert to all the details. You go into shock. Right now I personally am upset with Crystal and what she is doing. She has had years to do this if it were so. I am talking about the abuse accusations. She is taking the main focus off finding her daughter. I as a mother would have no other energy other than to find my daughter. And I give Nancy Grace a big thumbs up for the way she is digging into the photos of so called abuse.
March 19th, 2009 at 9:42 pm
NOT JUDGE.BUT SOME THINGS ARE FACT.WHAT WAS IN THE DUMPTER,DOGS DONT LIE. MAY BE SOME THING HAPPEN WHY SHE WSAS GETTING A BATH. NOT FACT .SHE COULD NOT JUST LEAVE EARTH.! CALEY WAS UNDER THEIR NOSES WALKED MY HER LITTLE BODY.AND THEY DID NOT SEE THAT SWEET LITTLE BABY.I PRAY EVERY NIGHT PLEASE LET THIS BE THE DAY.PLEASEJESUS LET HER COME WALKING UP SMILEING.UNHURT.
March 20th, 2009 at 1:11 am
Or a hundred b/c EVERY time Misty opens her mouth she tell new lies!
March 20th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
When Misty was being intervied she was talking about Haylee peeing on blankets she made a statement that Haylee’s blanket was in the van they took. What van and who is they?
March 21st, 2009 at 8:44 am
did any see the sat.news that cobra man wanted them to redo the night she went missing, ron said yes guess what ???misty said NO! i think that RON IS NOT THINKING.HE MIGHT BE USEING HIS HEAD,BUT NOT THE ONE
HE PUTS THE HAT ON! SHE NOS SOME THING AND THE COP SHE DID NOT LIKE.SHOULD GET AHOLD OF HEr AGAIN SHE MIGHT BREAK!!!!!!!!! CANT REDO IT MAD MEM’S GIVE HER A ZANX BY DOC.THEN REDO IT.WHAT DO YA THINK?
March 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Is it possible someone took Haleigh to protect her from abuse? I also tend to think Crystal is telling the truth. I think she has tried to get the kids back and didn’t intentionally miss the court dates. I’m glad she had a good lawyer now. Also what could a little 4 year old boy do that would be bad enough to beat him with a stick? Maybe an older child if you believe in corporal punishment but 4 and 5 year olds? Guess these people haven’t heard of time outs. I also have dogs and I believe something of Haleighs was in that dumpster. If I have a treat on the counter and take it away my dogs still sniff the counter to look for it. I pray someone just thinks they are protecting her.
March 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pm
ON NANCY G AND MARK GLASS.BOTH TOLD RON TO GET MISTY TO START GETING HER TO WORK/TALK TO WHOM EVER TO FIND HER.OR THIS CASE WILL GO ON FOREVER
March 22nd, 2009 at 7:32 am
Without going into a day long session on domestic violence, I can tell you that Crystal’s story seems plausible to me. Her mother was a drug addict and she moved in with Ronald Cummings when she was 14. Why did she lose custody of her kids? Do you realize over 50% of abusers end up with custody of the children? She’s crazy; he’s in control. He works; she doesn’t. The list goes on.
Anyway, my concern is why the police aren’t concentrating on the events of Feb. 9th. I read that Hayleigh didn’t go to school that day. If Hayleigh was already missing, it explains why Misty can’t remember what Hayleigh wore to bed. It explains why she can’t remember where everyone was sleeping. It explains why she would claim to pass by one bathroom to use the one on the other side of the trailer. It takes away Ronald’s alibi of being at work when Misty claims Hayleigh went missing. And if Ronald and/or Misty harmed Hayleigh, it explains why there was no evidence of a break-in.
The story reeks of being concocted. And the fact that Ronald and Misty got married while this tragedy is going on just adds to it. It seems to me that they got married so they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other.
March 23rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
It seems to me,that Ronnie had a fight with the cousin and then the daughter is gone.and no cousin around. Plus the last 2 people in the house were a repairman and the cousin.I also agree with having a phycis come and look around.Ihave grandkids and I don’t let them out of my sight.Way to many strange people out there,including women to.
March 23rd, 2009 at 1:11 pm
I just foud ou that misty had a young black boyfriend name Gregg must have been before Ron cummings That odd the little boy said a man in black took his sister.
March 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
WHAT IS THIS WHOLE RONNIE AND COUSIN FLIGHT THING? I HAVENT HEARD THAT, WHAT HAPPENED?
March 24th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Since everyone is throwing out theories i have one. first off, right when this happened something was always bothering me and that was someone entering a place they have never been before, i thnik a very high percentage of humans won’t go into someone else house in the middle of the night if they know people are home UNLESS they have been there before. So i really chalk misty up to being 17 and somewhat slow, so lets forget her for the moment. also many people seem to like commiting crimes outside of their area, say someone out of state, it’s much easier for them to get in, do the deed and flee the state quickly. so who knows the house, has been there before and had the opporunity to do it? THE COUSIN who came in from out of state!! Heres why I say so, mistys cousin sheila say that the van was moved that same night, that very likely means someone took her keys, used the van, than returned it, all on the same night the girl disappears. i’ll also bet since misty let sheila borrow the van that sheila also had a key to misty and ronalds house. this also expalins the entry at ronalds house whcih always bothered me, first off how did someone get in and i am sure whoever it was IS familiar with the house and the people inside. wasnt the cousin there at the house earlier that day? he probably overheard misty talking about how ron was at work and was just her and the kids. he really is the only one who knew the place, likely knew what was going on and had the opportunity since sheila only lived a couple of miles away. the reason the police can’t do anything is because the cousin probabyly was already in the van with sheila and so was haleigh at some point so they don’t have anything on him, and no one actually ’saw’ him take the van, sheila only says she is sure it was not parked that way when she last used it that night. than of course the cousin splits back to his state and the police can’t really do anything. when you look at these events this way than everything starts to fit into place, never mind misty’s changing stories or whatever, i don’t believe for a minute she had anything to do with it, but with the event of the van being gone that night, and the way someone seemed to know the house layout and who was there, i think the police are just waiting for the right evidence to get him, problem is without a body they don’t have anything else to check until either more evidence come out or the cousin spouts off to someone that he did it. thus why we aren’t seeing any headway on the case, am i the only one here who see’s the puzzle coming together?
March 24th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
PS this also explains the back door propted with the brick, he did this so he could go through all of the keys on the key ring to find out which one went to the back door, starting to make sense isnt it? he also had an excuse because if his cousin misty woke up he could always come up with an easy excuse.
March 24th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I do have to applaud you Dick Tracy I agree with what your outlook is about this situation and I do think the police are closer then what there letting on so that it dont turn into another Caliegh Anthony story…. Who ever has Haleigh is too scared at this point to let her come home because she can identify them, I do pray that she is still well, But i am scared that the longer this takes the worse the outcome. Who ever you are please let this child go home to her familys all her familys. Its amazing how as adults we can attack other family members in a crises time, and take advantage of the situation to try and make themselves seem to be the better parent but in reality its not about who gets who its about who can be the adult, it takes two to raise a child, but it also takes two to fight. Stop the accusations and help find your daughter, She needs all of you her heart is big enough to share, maybe you can learn something from her as parents….
March 25th, 2009 at 8:46 am
hey,dick tracy. Maybe you should go to florida and give them some help.Because everything you saud is correct.You must have been following it as well as myself.I realloyh hope that they find this girl safe.
March 25th, 2009 at 8:47 am
oops really hope,forgot to hit spell check
March 25th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
unfortunately i dont think haleigh is alive, if the cousin did take the van to do the deed he would have had to dispose of her before he got back, and i think that’s likely what he did. also if you look at the van dam case from california and the jessica langsfurd case from florida both were done by people who lived very close by, the cousin was the only one who likely knew what was going on that night, knew ronald would be work late, and had the means to do it…ie the van which was mysteriously parked differently than when sheila left it. in cases like these it is almost always someone close to the event and family. it breaks my heart to say this but i believe once they find a body they can hopefully get DNA to match the cousin cause right now they don’t have anything they can pin on him. my only son died when he was 3 months old(trisomy 18-very rare genetic condition), for those of you who have children, cherish every blinking moment, love your children, treat them with respect, and respect yourself. PS i pegged casey anthony as a killer from day one..and in the days after each event just instilled i was right on, and if you don’t believe she did it by now i have a bridge in brooklyn i can sell you also. there are some sick people out there, some that are closer to you than you may want to believe.
March 26th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I have been following the stories of Caylee and Haleigh.
In Caylees case, no the mom did not report her missing and Yes she kept parting. But I still have this hang up about the utility worker who reported something 3 times…. Casey did lots of things the wrong way, but she is in jail for murder.
Ok, now Haleigh….
Misti was suppose to be watching them, shes last to see her. The only thing the dad did different was to tell her to call 911. Why didn’t she do it before? Yes they have been in the public eye, I think showing us what they want us to see. But tell me WHY at the time Haleigh is missing did they have to get married. That is suppose to be a joyous time maybe Haleigh would have like to have been there or do they know she will not be found!!! Then daddy goes and gets a tattoo…please
So why hasn’t girlfriend or daddy been arrested? They are showing odd behavior just as Casey did………
March 27th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Lastnight listening to nancy grace,now they are saying:misty was intertaining a man in the home the night Haleigh went missing.and saying Ronald shouldn’t have the kids.come on he was working,how did he know?I really think that misty should be in jail.just maybe she would come clean.I feel she is afraid of Ronald,that was his little girl,who he trusted to keep here safe.
March 27th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
I agree with you. If Misti was arrested she would come clean…no doubt!!!
I kinda think maybe Haleigh was getting in Mistis way, after she comes up missing then she becomes Ronalds wife…
March 27th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
DID ANY ONEHEAR THE LITTILE BOY HURD A NOISE AND THE SOFA WAS MOVING. HOW ABOUT SO DID HALEIGH MAY BE GOT UP SAW MISTY DOING THE WILD THING ON THE SOFA, AND SAID IAM TELLING DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD BE SOME THING TO THINK ABOUT. IF I WAS THE COPS MAY BE CHECK SOFA FOR DNA.?I JUST WISH THE LITTILE HOME SAFE.. ONE MORE THING THE NIGHT NACY G ASKED HIM WERE THE LITTILE BOY WAS.HE DID NOT WANT TO SAY.THEN HE SAID WITH GRANDMA,I BET MISTY WAS WATCHING HIM.HE JUST DID NOT WANT TO SAY,
March 28th, 2009 at 6:05 am
this is all between family, Misty, Ron and Cristal, a power struggle for custody this give votes or promotion to the maternal side of this family, the court was wrong, can you see?…. Ron is not a fit father….. and worse a child abuse case….. Haleigh’s father Ron, I think they did something like Anthony’s family, the girl was ill then they are free of paying medications and doctors, is just an opinion that is not the truth at all.
March 29th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Sorry chelis,I don’t believe that Ronald is a bad father.Look at all the pictures.Those kids are really happy.You are just taking the mother(cristal) side,cause she is making everyone feel sorry for her.What kind of mother is she? now she has started all this custody crab NOW.taking all the attention off her daughter.this could have waited a little longer.
March 30th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
I think Granfran hit the nail right on the head.
March 30th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
just keep in mind,everything you are hearing is from crystal and her attorney.because crystal is trying to get custody.so the stuff about the sofa moving,and all.Believe me I’m not saying that misty didn’t do that,cause I think misty is at fault here,she knows something and is afraid to say.seen too many pictures of her smiling and smoking.In one of her photo’s with her cousin they looked really close.they are probably in this together.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
This is just a sad story on so many levels. Here you have a this adorable little girl that has been missing for over a month and the biggest focus these hillbillies (Crystal and her cronies) are focusing on is how to bash and destroy Ronald. Such BS and truly sad. Crystal is a selfish and attention seeking basket case. Did anyone else notice the crocodile tears from Crystal on a her cry for help press conference?? She was wiping and shaking but I didnt see a single tear….no swelling/redness of the eyes yet she kept pushing that tissue deep into eyes, Im guessing she was trying to irritated her eyes to produce some tears….pretty pathetic. This town has 44 sex offenders within a 5 mile radius. One out of those 44 has yet to check in and to be found???? Has anyone placed a focus on that particular pervert??? What Im concerned with is Haleigh has been taken by one of those offenders and the Po Po is just too stupid and inexperienced to do a thorough investigation. These desperate offenders will do whatever it takes to get their victims whether its traveling miles away or right next door. Put the focus back on the predators in the neighborhood and not the dumb accussations brought forth by a jealous and angry ex-wife.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
One thing Ron and his little teeny bobber of wife shouldnt have done was get married. The timing was all wrong, very inappropriate Im still trying to figure out why???
March 31st, 2009 at 8:45 am
Greetings. It appears that Ronald Cummings has spoken to the effect that a custody battle is NOT brewing between him and his ex girlfriend Crystal Sheffield. Well it appears to me it IS a custody battle and Haleigh has been lost in the cracks here.
This child has been missing over 40 some days now, and nobody is searching now. I thought the Equus team out of Texas was searching at one time and then did not resume their search. Has anyone heard about that?
Also the 2 day recent searchers were advised NOT to search any more because it was too dangerous! I swear I am flabbergasted with the outcome of some of these notifications.
Yes it was not the thing to do with the teen bride getting married to Cummings. Now the entire story Misty created appears to be fictitious all told. If she had a black man in the trailer and the little brother saw him, then she has had it I believe. I go back to the late night laundry skit, if she made her bed and the little boy was in that bed, it WOULD BE impossible to not awaken him by making the bed. No sense at all. So all the time I was defending Misty, she was trolloping around, and inventing a story she thought would stick!
Well Haleigh is STILL MISSING and they better get it going again on searches, or the inevitable will happen, if it hasn’t already.
Pray that the authorities can bring Haleigh home.
Thanks.
Betty Jo
March 31st, 2009 at 8:57 am
Addendum. When Crystal said Ronald Cummings gave bogus addresses for her to the courts, and she could not appear in court re not getting her mail, then he was awarded custody erroneously and she did not stand a chance. If that story is factual she should have this attorney she has hired now, fight for that faux paus on Ronald Cummings’ wrongdoings. I see a lot of hate and plain mistakes in this custody battle (which it is regardless of R Cummings expressing it is NOT). When accusations from Crystal of her ex beating children until bloodied, then that is a crime, and should be addressed by the courts ASAP. But I find one thing about that accusation, if she knew these kids were being seriously bloodied and abused, why did she wait until Haleigh went missing to bring it out to the public? It APPEARS Crystal has invented yet another false scenario for her lawyer as well.
The old story is that children are always the ones who are hurt…is simply the truth.
Thanks.
Betty Jo
March 31st, 2009 at 9:42 am
Julienne, I agree with everything you wrote in. I noticed the first thing why these children did not have beds. Not to be rude, but I have a better bed for my puppy than Haleigh had. What is the “father” doing that prevents his “beloved children” (according to ther granny) from having a bed, like other little children?
It all seems ominous and dark to me now. Since I have now learned that Misty did laundry at late night! Little boys in bed with her? Well, if she changed that bed he would have awakened and this leads me to believe her scenario is fictitious, and she knows who has Haleigh.
If someone was making the couch JUMP, then the little boy couldn’t have made that one up from his imagination, no way! 4-yr-olds do not have that ilk of imagining!
The little brother does surprise me though that he didn’t say to the “man in black” why are you taking Cissy? he was so close to his sister. That bothers me a lot too.
Thanks.
Betty Jo
March 31st, 2009 at 11:23 am
what happen to (COBRA) the pi guy???????????he was to have the case closed soon!
March 31st, 2009 at 11:31 am
GranFran, aren’t you from that area? Is anything at all happening anymore as far as actually searching for Haleigh?
March 31st, 2009 at 10:10 pm
I agree betty jo why didnt they have better beds/ How many bedrooms did they have in that trailor???? it seemed big enough to have 2 and if there was 2 why wernt the kids in their own bedroom and in there own beds??
April 1st, 2009 at 6:55 pm
On hln at 7:30,theynhave lost focus on Haleigh.They need to stop all this BS and get bsck to looking for haleigh.They showed a picture of a guy who they say was with Misty the night this happen. what about the other little that has gone missing in Tracy,calif. she is 8 years old. this has to come to an end way to many little ones coming up missing. everyone, every where needs to know where their children are at all times, I know that its hard,but we need to try.
April 2nd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Okay,enought I feel like misty knows something.Only because her pass is catching up with her,now this gregg who was surpose to have been with her the night this little girl was missing. and her cousin thqat was at the house thawwt same night.HE is a pervert.It seems like everyone she know are bad people.Have they ever found her cousin????They never did say that. Ronald should have talked her about her pass,seeing she was going to be around those children.Misty needs to be put in jail to think about everything without anyone being around her.
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I can’t believe that Ronalds’ mother is actually defending Misty. She may have loved those kids and have nothing to do with Haleighs’ dissapearance, but I have a problem with her story and her finding the shirt that Haleigh was supposedly wearing when she dissappeared. Then to get married while his daughter is still missing? I don’t get it!
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
cont….
I am starting to believe that someone on Crystal’s side of the family has kidnapped her and thats why all the aligations of abuse is coming out. I hope!
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:14 pm
OMG! what is with these people did they ever drug test misty? everytime shes interviewed she looks completely wasted! what were they even thinking..she’s only old enuff to be those kids sister definetly NOT mother material and to go off and get married at a time like this and say “oh its what they wanted” PLEASE those kids are too young to even know what they wanted…too bad an innocent child has to pay the price for the fathers own stupidity by allowing them to be left with another “kid”….its another here we go again CASEY ANTHONY (LIES LIES LIES)
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 am
I TOTALLY AGREE! MISTY NEEDS HER ASS WIPED AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE THE ONE TO DO IT!!!
April 3rd, 2009 at 8:21 am
ALSO I KNOW RONALD HAS A HORRIBLE PAST AS DOES CRYSTAL! BUT I FEEL THEY LOVE THE CHILDREN AND ARE INNOCENT. MISTY NEEDS TO BE PUT IN JAIL
April 5th, 2009 at 12:14 am
Art Harris has quite a bit of information. One thing that I didn’t know that the washing machine was running when the cops came to the trailer. Think about that.
April 5th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
the washing machine was running,never heard anything about that.But it sure doesn’t surprise me.I also don’t believe that she got up to go to the bathroom .I strongly believe that she was up thinking about what she was going to tell people.and ronald.I feel like you people on here think.That someone that Misty knows took that little girl,I have a feeling it was her cousin.
April 5th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Going back to the washing machine, I wonder what was being washed. Was it an article of clothing that may have had blood on it? This washing machine information has more to say
about this case. I thought only deluxe washing machines had a delay button to wash stuff
later on. If this was a regular washer with a soak button, i still don’t think that it would be running at 3:40 a.m. Then, why was Misty doing laundry when Haleigh went missing?
This is just bizarre.
April 7th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
Do you think if Misti was locked up a couple of days she would start talking? I think she knows alot about this. Probably the blanket she washed and whatever else she said was being washed would link her to the crime. I think she is totally scared of Ronald, so she’s going to be very selective in what she talks about. I hope and pray they find this little girl safe. I know all of you probably have heard the little girl in California, Sandra Cantu was found dead in a suit case. There are alot of wacko’s out there. But for some reason I just don’t think its a stranger that has taken Haleigh.
April 7th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
yes i all so think that misti no some thing.also the cop that was not nice to her.when they took her in should be their to get her again i dont care if her feeling got hurt,i think that if they left her in his care.she would sing like a bird.!!!!!!!!!!!! you no that all got to be sick of her lies to them (COPS)keep her a way from ron he tells her what to say.keep her all night.with the cop that hurt her feeling.i bet if they would of left just a little longer he would found out by now.why are they treating her so easy.casey would not talk.they dont have haleigh or a body.really what is the diff.???????????well i bitched to much.i no am not the one person that has not wondered or had it on my mind
April 9th, 2009 at 11:37 am

April 9th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
This is the first time I have hear of the washing running,something fishy.hope Misty cousin didn’t touch her & she said Iam going to tell daddy,& they did do something with her body.What the hell would she be washing @ 3:00 a.m. Did cops stop the washer?does any one know.sure like to know what was in the washer.
April 10th, 2009 at 10:38 am
so many questions and getting no answers! this is so crazy! that poor little girl.I sure hope she isn’t suffering,or didn’t suffer. I have my doudts that she is alive.
April 13th, 2009 at 9:28 am
How come Nancy Grace and others are no longer reporting on this case?
April 13th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Maybe they should hire the investigators from California to work on this case they seem to be able to get the job done……..
This is all bull s!!! they could pick Misti up again and get some answers. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON??????
There are lots of questions but don’t seem to be able to find any answers.
April 14th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Hmm… too much doesnt add up I’m a highschool student doing this kidnapping case as a current events tracking project and I’ve learned everything form police files to every single show her parents have appeared on. One contrediction in this case was the fact that on two different dates she was reported missing. Second she dissapeered form her house which almost never happens in a kiddnapping such as this. third one of the parents is still considered an minor, this “mysterious” dissapeerence could all be a crule crime of the parents to get rid of there illigidament child. Of coarse I hate to think that way but it is always possible in this world today. But It also turns out that several sex offenders live in the same neighborhood, my question is why would her parents move to this area if there were threats such as these. these are just a few of my opinoins on theis case all of which are based on fact.

Can anybody please tell me why there hasnt been anything on haleigh
April 15th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON!?!? THEY KEEP SAYING MISTY KNOWS SOMETHING, SO DO NOTHING??? LET HER GO ON AND ENJOY HER LIFE WITH NOTHING!!! THAT IS CRAZY, LOCK HER SKINNY SKANKY ASS UP
April 15th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Dana, I am as well at my breaking point with this story. If they know that Misty knows something why would they let her roam free?
April 15th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
may be she is being watch.to see who she might contact. may be a tap or bug.could be they are just waiting or her to srew up.a may be let hear lose to party and her think she is in the clear. she will miss up. then that is when we will find out what really happen!wwwwu think
April 15th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
If Haleigh is still alive perhaps the police do not want to risk making info news so the abductor doesn’t get thoughts of getting caught and kills her. Sandra Cantu was used for
child porn, perhaps Haleigh is still being held. I don’t know anything about child porn
except that it is shocking how many predators there are.
April 16th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Surely they are still investigating this case. I can’t believe they are letting Misti sit out there this long with out questioning her again. I say LOCK HER UP a few days then you will get some answers. What are they afraid of….Ronald!!!
April 16th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Hey everyone, go to artharris.com there is alot of things on his site of interest..
go read it.I found it quite interesting. please go check it out.
April 17th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
I think Missty left the house .And I think someone that knows she does ,can see when she leaves ,saw her leave and went over there.came to the front door and maybe haleigh let them in because she knows them. They took her out the back door through the woods and put her in the dumpster till they went to get their car .Noone would think of a car there because they do that in the park.I think that is why the dogs went there.
April 19th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Again,you have go to artharris.com,I think it will answer some questions that you have.It also might give you more questions. I really found it interesting.
April 20th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Thanks Jill for the site for Art. Have ya’ll checked out the story about Mistys friends getting arrested? Maybe they can get some answers out of this…..
April 22nd, 2009 at 6:48 pm
I am kind of disappointed in the lack of coverage for Haleigh everything has seemed to stopped. I honestly believe that Haleigh was caught in the father and now wife’s cross hairs of drugs and whatever else. Ron is such this wonderful father who was given custody of these children that he tends to have on going relationships with woman who have drug problems. No offense to Crystal, but she has admitted to drug use and states she has turned her life around and I hope she has. I think her filing for custody of Jr is the best thing to do. Ron should have never been given custody in any sense and I blame that judge – hope he is happy for his decision. Someone knows something and I feel so bad for this little girl!!!
April 26th, 2009 at 11:58 am
tamee,I also agree with you on the little girl being caught up in the mess.I really think that they both know something(missy & ronald).On art harris’s web site,I believe it is said that Ronald has said,he knows who has her.I don’t know if Crystal had said it or her brother.If you haven’t checked out artharris.com, you really should.It gives you a whole differnt opinion.
April 26th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Tamee, I wanted to not believe this could be another parent hurting their child but the more I go into this case the more I am thinking this is the case here. I posted a link on ‘Where Haleigh’ blog? Very Interesting!! Believe this is a huge case about drugs and what can happen getting tangled in that life style with children. If, big if, IMO, Ronald still innocent for hurting her, no doubt his drug behavior and choice in partner set this crime into action.
I also read about washing machine running when police got there but can not find article confirming this. If it was running at 330 am then they are covering something up bigger than we all can could imagine.
April 27th, 2009 at 3:29 am
I have a question to ask..does anyone know what Misty was wearing when Ron came home? She was suppose to be in bed..got up to go pee…did she have bed clothes on..or jeans?
Here is my theroy..I think she had the door open…because she had company..and wanted to make it easy for her “guests” to get out of the house fast!!!
Ron knew Misty did drugs…why would he allow some teen age slut to watch his kids? Sounds like a bunch of white trash…and who gets hurt…s darling little girl…
Ron is to blame for leaving her with Misty..he needs to grow up and be with people who are adults..not a bunch of teen agers..
April 27th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
everything will come out in the end. god will see to it. i pray and cry for this little girl to be safe and come home ok. she is in our prayers!!!!
April 27th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
bob with no heart!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, there are numerous sex offenders that live in the area. People that have pedophilia are severely mentally ill and almost always end up being repeat offenders. Having a mandatory sex offender registry was the first step in the right direction. However, I feel that ALL people that have been convicted of violent crimes against children should be electronically monitored by an ankle bracelet ora permanent implanted chip. I’m aware this would be costly for state agencies but in the long run, it would save money by not having to prosecute these sickos in the future or fund their jail stays or excution. Most important it could save lives……It turns my stomach when I read into child abduction cases. Child abductions by strangers are not the norm, but when they happen, it is almost always by pedophiles…….I wish there was a deserted island just for them……I understand they cannot help the sick thoughts running through their brains, but they have control whether they decide to act on them or not!
If this little girl is still alive, I pray the sicko that has her will have a heart and release her…..Personally, I feel that the father’s girlfriend that was caring for her at the time, either was under the influence of some sort of substance or was not home. How in the world can a child be right next to your bed sleeping, and you do not here someone come in and take her? I could understand if she was in another room, but this was not the case. Misty changed her stories up and then stated on a TV broadcast that she did not know why she had inconsistencies………duhhhhhhhhhhh
May 6th, 2009 at 2:42 am
hearing all these stories of children being kidnapped, raped, murdered, etc. makes me sick to my stomach. i am a mom of the most wonderful 5 year old i could ever be blessed with. i had to make a difficult decision to have him knowing i would do this virtually on my own but it was MY decision.
it seems too many times the children are being killed by those closest to them– even their parents! i just cannot comprehend how people can do this–it is SICK!! they blame it on being young, being depressed, the economy…we are ALL hurting and somehow those of us who are great parents just find a way.
the whole situation seems funny to me.
the father didn’t go search for her one time that i know of because “no one would come get him to search” yet i saw him here in the tampa bay area at MY friend’s tattoo shop getting a tattoo. yes it was in his daughters name but seems a LITTLE odd to me.
and could the police be any more ignorant of what is right in front of them? we seem to have better ideas of how to run an investigation than they do!
May 7th, 2009 at 5:16 am
Still no news? I really hope they find her alive..doesn’t seem that any one is out physically looking for her…if that was my kid or even my dog…I would be out in the wilderness…looking for her. All I hear is where Ron and Misty go eat!!! Take it with you…and go look for your kid..
Maybe they are not smart enough…!! Misty knows what happened…Ron is to stupid know…all he can communicate with is teen agers..grow up…Ron is getting older..sort of getting perverted
May 8th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
hi i was watching cnn 36 mark sanz.they think the cops really no something and not saying notthing i for got how many times they took misty in.but here time line is off.they also think she might steel belive.when she gets back i pray .may be she and her bro.could go to some one in the family close.till they check on all the he said she said.not be taken from their family,those two has been thought h–l.
June 1st, 2009 at 12:24 am
Hello everyone I hope everyone is well and still have Haleigh in their prayers. These children are our future.I believe Misty holds the key to where haleigh is or who took her.
And from what I have read Rom married Misty to find Haleigh because she was threating to leave.He was afraid that if she left he would never find out what happen to her.Looks like the joke is on Ron cause Haleigh is still gone and misty still there with him.I hope that neither parent get custody of them ……I think Mrs neves should sold custody of those children.
June 1st, 2009 at 12:26 am
I think Mrs neves should get sold custody of those children.
June 6th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
I just want to say that I am praying for Hayleigh and my thoughts are with your family…haven’t seen much on Cnn about this case lately so I came on here to see if there has been an update…
I know God loves children and He alone knows all things…I am praying that He will intervene and bring Haleigh back home. As a mother myself my heart goes out to the Mother of Haleigh and her Father…all of the family. Let’s all join in praying extra hard for this precious little girl to be found in Jesus name. For answers to come forward.
June 7th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
In the Name ofGod I ask you to let Haleigh be found,She did not ask to come in this world .Please God let be found soon.In you Blessed Name Amen.
June 7th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
i was reading this story and i am saddened that this poor little girl is missing. lets pray that she is alive and will be found. i happen to think that misty knows what happened and ron. i think the reason they got married is bc in the united states you dont have to testify against your spouse. i hope if they do know and something happened to that little girl they will both be found guilty and at fault. i have to little girls 3 and 7 and i would search day and night for them. i would do a house to house search i would never give up to sleep. i would die first., thanks for listening i am sorta getting mad this is very sad. thanks mandy
June 7th, 2009 at 10:55 pm
Haleigh Has captured the hearts of millions,I printed a pic of her out and have it on my Desk. I do not know the family or really care too I just want haleigh to be found one way or the other.No Child deverse to have to live the life she live.And if she is gone than I have to think God show Mercy and took her out of this aful world.Im a 54 year old Grant mother and all tho I love my grandchildren with all my heart and soul.I my self would never bring a nother child in to this world .God Bless you Haleigh & Angel kisses.from one you loves you.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:41 am
I guess I am with the majority here that I have not heard anything in the news about Haleigh. My question is: When Caylee came up missing she was on Nancy Grace every single night, and now that her body has been found so is the drama of the case, so, with that said, why isn’t Haleigh still in the media??? Who has the say so as to who remains in the media and who doesn’t? Why wouldn’t the family of this beautiful little girl do whatever it takes to keep the world focused on finding this child? I mean I get it that Ron and Misty are both very immature and have no clue but there certainly is enough extended family. I’m just not getting it, if it were my grand daughter you can bet I would be climbing the empire state building if I had to to get the media’s attention. Another question I have is where is the little boy in all of this?? Please dear God don’t tell me that child welfare has left that little one in the hands of two idiots that could not even keep up with one child. God Bless and family prayers for this little one and all the little angels of the world that have fallen victims
June 19th, 2009 at 12:17 am
AS far as I know Jr. is with his dad and mistys and they are staying with Grandmaw Skyes.I pray that Haleigh is alive ,But I dont think Ronald cares as much as he wanted people to believe.going on 5 moths and LE doesnt know any more now than when they started. Angel Blessings
June 19th, 2009 at 12:38 am
I have from the beginning believed that Haleigh Cummings was kidnapped by a family member to to get back at Ron. It would explain why Haleigh didnt scream or make a sound when taken. The fact that Haleigh’s body hasnt been found , gives me hope that i’m right and she is safe somewhere. Ron’s mother seems to believe that Misty isn’t involved and loved the children like they were her own, I hope she is right!!! I am a little confused on why anyone would start a foundation, before knowing what happened to their loved ones and then closing it, before knowing what has happened to their loved one.
June 19th, 2009 at 7:52 pm
I think the 17 yr. old should be held respondsible for this lost child since she was suppose to be watching her…evidently she’s not old enough or respondsible enough to watch & protect a child.She should be arrested for child neglect & then maybe she would be ready to talk..
June 21st, 2009 at 8:25 pm
I wish the best for Hallie praying a safe return to a proper home. I’ve been saddened by the fact that coverage on Nancy Grace has come to a halt, we all (the community) need to hear more about finding Hallie. If this was my child I would want people to keep talking about her keeping hope alive. God bless our children and draw a hedge of protection around them in Jesus name amen.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:04 am
Hi everyone, STILL no news about this sweet little girl.I gave up on Nancy Grace.All she seems to be interested in is casy anthony’s case. I have been checking sites about little Haleigh and have found nothing new.It’s really sad,how this case just died. LET’S ALL GET TOGETHER AND KEEP SENDING EMAILS TO ART HARRIS,NANCY GRACE,JANE V,ANYONE ELSE THAT YOU Can think of. we need to find thnis child. put and end to this case.
June 24th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Haleigh Cummings isnt the only one missing, that they are not talking about…Adji Desir is another one….if there is nothing new in the case, there is nothing to report….I say if one Haylee was found alive…..there is one more Haleigh to go, I’m praying that she is alive somewhere with a family member that kidnapped her to get back at Ron. Would explain why Misty didnt hear her screaming. and as for Adji Desir, I’ve written to Nancy Grace, About.com and Oprah….they obviously do not read all their mail or dont care about him.
June 24th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Rosa, I’m sorry about this other child.I live in connecticut.I haven’t seen that one .
June 24th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
He was featured on Nancy Grace for a few weeks and then nothing…I thought he had been found is why they stopped talking about him…he is the little african american boy, 6yrs old I believe, who is mentally challenged.
June 28th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Rosa.I remember now.I did see his picture on nancy grace.He is really a cute little thing.dark hair and eyes. I really like how they stop showing pictures,or even saying anything about these children.I understand that maybe,there isn’t anything new.But atleast sy that.gee there is no NEW news about these 2,but atleast show their pictures.
October 11th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
It seems like when Picazzio was still on the scene that she was setting up anybody she could for the fall. First there was the Amber Brooks plot which failed. Supposedly Brooks borrows naynay’s car then after she finds that police might impond the car for search she borrows it again to go find a place to dump items from the trunk. She drives to San Mateo Baptist (160 east state Road Hghw 100)churces parking lot and dumps the items she thinks might convict her. Then the pastor of the church happens to be involved in a search behind the church because a psychic tells them the location to search and they find nebulizer , toys and the missing spare keys of the car which the Private investigator takes to nays and Whala they start the engine. Fishy setup. the timelines not right. Then after that failed attempt at they go after the” whiteboy”. I’m all for they idiot going to jail anyway but only the truth should be followed to find Haleigh. Pretty sad that without Picazzio on the scene that the police are suddenly stuck. Maybe Picazzio was an FBI informant or just plain FBI ( with her alias being a prominent attorney). Wonder how many other people have been wrongly sent to jail by her before this case. As long as they were crooks I guess who cares right! Wrong. Without the truth Haleighs real kidnapper will never be pursued and the case will go cold for a long time ! Sad. Wonder if John Regan( the pastor who claims to be FBI ) and his supposed son Jeremiah Regan(probably FBI too) who runs the Haleighbug center for donations , will let this go case go cold!!!! Google these peoples names and follow the real story behind all this!
