2009.02.20 3:00pm FDLE Presser

[Wise Old Owl]

I am not finding anything where it says that the Federal Marshalls are involved. I heard the presser and didn't hear it, but I could have missed it.

Thankx SS - I heard it on HLN - I missed the very beginning of the presser so I didn't know if it was said or not.

 

[cajun]

I just heard on HLN that during the presser - LE said they have the Federal Marshalls involved now? Did anyone else hear that?

Does that mean she was taken across state lines? I thought that was the FBI's job

 

[LaLaw2000]

Yes.

Nancy G said last night that she thought the SO being arrested was for more than a parole violation and she allluded to the nut who killed jennifer Hudson's family. They arrested him on a parole violation to begin with. She said it was unusual to go through all the trouble of booking and arresting just for that.

I think Nancy was wrong about that. One of the conditions parole was granted for this is for him to wear this GPS ankle bracelet and adhere to his curfew. He did not adhere to his curfew and should have been arrested and revoked. I have known of that happening around the city I live in. It's not as unusual as she says it is. Plus, the eyes of the nation are on Satsuma & Putnam County right now, and IMO, LE is not going to let anything slide (not saying they would anyway).

So Nancy said she didn't think they would arrest and book a sexual predator for violating parole? Bwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....I hope Nancy gets some common sense before her kids hit the teenage years.

Good points, but one most likely wouldn't need to lawyer up if the child were alive.

The silence seems to point to the horrifying possibility that Haleigh is no longer with us.

IMO

well, somewhat, the other case, CMA lawyered up for being charged with lying to LE. They could have done that in the other case...let well enough alone and not charged her right away with that. But she lawyered up and that I think was LE mistake from the get go in that case.With this case, they could just be keeping all eyes & ears open, hoping someone would make a mistake and lead them to discover what happened to Haleigh. MOO:waitasec:

 

[cajun]

I thought LE said that all the RSO's had been accounted for?

me, too.

Just a thought... would U.S. Marshalls be used for crimes and arrests in a designated National Park?

>>> Ocala National Forest <<<

[see Chad Reynolds thread and google map posted there.]

 

[cajun]

The last time I heard about Federal Marshals was the Michael Vick case and that is what popped in my mind when I heard they had been called in..

Is Ocala a state park or is it a national park? guess I could look that up, huh? LOL

I think you mean the Ocala National Forest

I would like to see a instant reaction from Misty.
Maybe someone could set up and interview, and then all of a sudden have breaking news of something found while she is being interviewed..just to catch her reaction..
IMHO you can tell the difference between true sadness and OMG, I'm caught.

That would only work if there actually WAS some breaking news. Otherwise, LE does not work that way in conjunction with the media, to put out false reports.
Relax, folks, if there was anything new that would not jeapordize the safety of this little girl, they would tell us. They probably have some ideas of what really happened, but they can't say anything at this point until they get more answers. The fact that they've given Misty the third polygraph could mean a couple things. One, that they are trying to fill in the holes in her stories, and two, that they are putting pressure on her to tell the whole truth. And they might be pressuring Ron a little more too. But I do believe they are thinking Misty is not being completely truthful, or is holding something back. I could be wrong.
IMO, it's not always good to name a POI this soon, unless they find the body of the little girl. If they name someone, they risk them lawyering up and then there goes the chance to question them again.

Their word recovery in their language encompasses finding Haleigh alive or deceased.

I have actually worked with the U. S. Marshall's. I have escorted many Federal inmates to and from the Marshall's Office and been in court with them. I have a very high regard for them. And they are scared of nothing.

I had a client with the US Marshall's back when I was still in real estate. I agree with your synopsis. I have also called them while working on cases and got really good info on how to proceed with info I had gathered.

I have to say this cousin Joe is striking me as a very viable candidate for Haleigh's abduction. The family has to be so distraught learning all of this. We need to be careful about who is allowed in our homes and any personal space. More so now than ever. Boldness by criminals is exceeding boundaries and sadly lives taken are part of the process.

This federal marshal thing has me scratching my head. I have never heard of federal marshals being brough in on a missing person case, or a domestic, local crime. That is not what they do. I know a retired federal marshal.

Here - this is from their website:

The U.S. Marshals Service is the nation&#8217;s oldest and most versatile federal law enforcement
agency. Federal Marshals have served the country since 1789, oftentimes in unseen but
critical ways. To this day, the Marshals occupy a uniquely central position in the federal justice
system. It is the enforcement arm of the federal courts, and as such, it is involved in virtually
every federal law enforcement initiative.
Presidentially appointed U.S. Marshals direct the activities of 94 districts &#8212; one for each
federal judicial district. More than 3,320 Deputy Marshals and Criminal Investigators form the
backbone of the agency. Among their many duties, they apprehend more than half of all
federal fugitives, protect the federal judiciary, operate the Witness Security Program, transport
federal prisoners and seize property acquired by criminals through illegal activities.

Here is their website:

http://www.usmarshals.gov/index.html

I found the above info on the tab "fact sheets". There is also a "sex offender" fact sheet.

Strange this "arm of LE" has been brought in on this case. Maybe because there are just so many RSO's around the area? I don't quite think that is the case. I just don't know.

is anyone here in the federal witness program, or will be in the program after haleigh is recovered????

wow, this has my entire theory on this case switching gears............

perhaps a hugemongous drug bust is a-coming.....and someone who supplied some info is being made to pay for it!!! ?? who knows??????

Heck my mind went straight to a big dog fighting operation and RICO

[see Chad Reynolds thread and google map posted there.]

They sure would! They are in the business of searching for and apprehending fugitives no matter what state they are from. I am sure they are hot on his trail, or hope that they are. Absconded So's would be a high priority, IMO.

**National Park Service has the jurisdiction, tho.

Very confused.....when were the Marshals brought in? is this a rumor or for sure?

Even moreso than dog fighting would be a child sex ring and child poronography ring. A lot of those are national and even worldwide.

I think you mean the Ocala National Forest

"Authorities think Haleigh was abducted from the double-wide where she lives with her father, Ronald Cummings, 25, and his 17-year-old girlfriend in Satsuma, an isolated riverfront community northeast of the Ocala National Forest." - Orlando Sentinal article

This WESH news article, "Badlands of Ocala National Forest" may help in your understanding of the area. [Note the link at the bottom of the page that links to list of crimes committed in Ocala National Forest.]

"Trenton was last seen in the area of Lady Lake Saturday afternoon. He was last seen wearing a shirt, blue denim shorts, and no shoes. Anyone seeing Trenton's mother, or her vehicle in the vicinity of the Ocala National Forest or the Orlando area on Saturday or Sunday 08/26/2006 or 08/27/2006 is urged to call."

I am thinking that it was also kind of hinky that this absconded SO, C. Reynold's, just could have been in the area at the same time cousin Joe was. Misty says this cousin is a criminal. I would think that Joe and C. Reynolds are close in age at least somewhat.

There are so many different directions this thing could take. I just would love for little Haleigh to be located alive, and sadly, even if she is not.
