Time to officially face the facts, as if it is any secret. The search for Haleigh Cummings has gone the way of Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
I have been tracking the release of new YouTube videos on Haleigh Cummings each week, for several months. The never ending river off new tribute videos being release has finally all but dried up.
The much awaited break up of Ronald and Misty Cummings marriage did NOT result in the parties ratting each other out. Heck, they did not even appear to be all that mad at each other.
Misty Croslin has moved to Tennessee to be with her grandmother. The predicted return to Satsuma, Florida in two weeks of Misty so that she can move in with her jailbird family has, yet to occur. I see absolutely no reason why Misty Croslin would ever want to move back to Florida. If she can bum around in Florida, she can learn how to mooch off people anywhere. The most logical thing for Misty Croslin to do is to stay in Tennessee, stay out of trouble, get a makeover, get a job however humble, get a new boy friend, and befriend her grandmother so that in a few years she can collect an inheritance while her mother and brother Tommy rot in jail.
Misty Croslin, or whoever, got away with this crime against an innocent child, while Casey Anthony did NOT, because of the old adage: No body, No Crime. Without the body, all you got is a missing person. Misty certainly was not dumb enough to let Haleigh’s body decomposed in the backseat of the blue van.
There appears to have been a fight between Ron and Misty between 8 and 8:30 of the night that Haleigh disappeared. Hence, Misty could easily of have gotten mad, pulled a Casey Anthony stunt, and taken out her anger on poor Haleigh. I, also, think that she probably had help in disposing of the body. In my mind, Misty’s failure to screw up that night means that she positively was NOT on drugs at the time of Haleigh’s disappearance, assuming that she was directly involved. She appears to have been awake all night, busily getting rid of the evidence while a male companion actually dumped Haleigh’s body.
The adage out of sight, out of mind is what I think of the prospects of Tim Miller ever again spending the resources of Texas EquuSearch on finding Haleigh in Putnam County, Florida. I just do NOT see Tim being foolish enough to spend $100,000+ just to end up with another fruitless search.
As far as PCSO goes, their window of opportunity to move on any type of criminal charge, such as an rather obvious obstruction of justice by convening a grand jury is rapidly closing.
The statute of limitations in Florida, is as follows. A prosecution for a capital felony, a life felony, or a felony that resulted in a death may be commenced at any time.
- Felony of the first degree – 4 years
- Any other felony – 3 years
- Misdemeanor of the first degree – 2 years
- Misdemeanor of the second degree – 1 year
As in most cases, when a crime is NOT solved, the blame always ultimately lies with LE. In the case of PCSO, it is pretty easy to see that their persistence in failing to act in a timely manner is precisely why nobody has been brought to justice in this sorry affair. Without the spotlight of the press being constantly put on PCSO, I see little hope that Misty Croslin, or whoever, will ever be brought to justice. Certainly, babbling about Tommy being arrested, bungled fund raising efforts, and the other silly sideshows of Simon Barrett is putting absolutely no pressure on PCSO. Nor, will a weekly talk show on Cobra ever solve the Haleigh tragedy.
Should anything material ever break in the tradegy of Haleigh Cummings and / or Misty Croslin, I will be eventually reporting it on this blog. But my days of checking the news daily for breaking stories on Haleigh are long over.

Good morning. Unfortunately, I’m afraid you are right. This low life outsmarted the cops.

Well, with all the coverage on Nancy Grace, et.al, ‘they’ were pretty well informed on exactly what NOT to do when getting rid of a child’s body.
Look at that teenager in Missouri…she buried the child so well the dogs couldn’t detect the body and the police missed the evidence of burial. The only reason that teen got caught was because she bragged about what she did and was foolish enough to write it down.
At any rate, at least she coughed up the body instead of standing there with a mountain of ridiculous lies like Casey Anthony.
The loss of interest in Haleigh Cummings is exactly what the killer is praying for.
I think this should be revisited, because of the Shannon Dedrick case. The woman who took her and essentially ‘buried’ the child under the bed to avoid detection already has one missing child under her belt, she’s a documented abuser of a small child who went missing two decades ago and now look what she went and did.
Law enforcement needs to watch Misty Cummings like a hawk. What might be challenging to do the first time, is always easier the second time around.
If she killed Haleigh, she’s likely to do it again. And that shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

My gut response to a child going missing is to immediately suspect that someone in the family did it. Nine times out of ten that is what has happened. Here, Misty was practically part of the family. It is far too easy for the family to blame it on a random pedophile abduction.

Your assessment of Misty NOT being on drugs that night sounds pretty good, but drugs or no, she got lucky the body disappeared by way of gators or whatever. I’m always surprised when bodies are found, especially small ones.
But you have to give it to Misty for hanging in there with the lies. A pretty polished lady. It should get her mighty far in life.
Hawk on Misty, but forever blame on Ronald also for setting up such a scenario. Best wishes for his next teen marraige.

I don’t think Misty physically killed Haleigh however I do think she knows what happened. What ever happened to the cousin of Misty’s who was a person of interest…? He had a prior record of sexual abuse on a minor.

Supposedly, cousin Joe was cleared by LE in the first few days of the investigation. But, knowing how LE is, it makes you wonder if they knew what they were doing.
I believe that her brother Tommy was also hanging around. He lived close by to the Cummings. Misty’s entire family seems to be criminally minded. So wouldn’t that include Misty herself? It still boils down to No body, No Crime. What ever happened to Haleigh, THEY got rid of the body real fast.

Hmmmm…I really don’t think Ron had anything at all to do with Haleigh going missing…if he did he needs the academy award for acting…because he has me fooled. And Misty…I really don’t think she’s smart enough to pull it off.
The fact that the brick was put there to hold the door tells me that it’s not a random person…but someone who must’ve come to the house before. Maybe a cable guy etc…who knows…sad.

I have read and watched alot on this case, and I think the biological mom and her family took Haleigh, where to who knows. There are too many coincidences to think this was a random kidnapping. I think Misty Croslin was complicit in this kidnapping, maybe to get Haleigh away from Ronald so that would be one less responsibility she would have and a lot of free time to party. This poor child never had a chance with the family she had–the drugs, the burglaries, the fighting..Did she have a stable adult to protect her?I do not understand why they do not arrest Misty? They did Casey without a body. Her many inconsistencies is enough to warrant an arrest. People seem to be pointing at Ronald–but has anyone took a cold, hard look at the biological mother? She has just as much reason or motive to want to take Haleigh. Has the biological mother’s family, I mean every last aunt, uncle, cousin, been investigated or home searched for Haleigh”s whereabouts? I read an article about a sighting of a girl that looked alot like Haleigh at a WalMart somewhere..and they went to investigate the biological mother’s family there. What were the results? I heard nothing else of it. Until the body of this beautiful child is found, then I have to believe that someone has her hidden. I just can not give Misty or Ronald enough credit to outwit the cops for this long, without someone running their mouth. And by the way, please tell me where these people get their money because I do not believe anyone is holding a job. I hope that this family is not profitting from the disappearance of this child.
