Cummings said he and former girlfriend Misty Croslin who he has since married and is now Misty Cummings have been unfairly targeted.
There should have been more attention to Crystals family, he said. I think they should have paid more attention to everyone rather than just me and Misty.
He said questioning should have been broader.
They didnt have the big picture, he said. Why do they not question everybody?
Ronald Cummings said the investigation went in the wrong direction.
They took a child-abduction investigation and made it a personal investigation, he said. Instead of keeping the focus on finding Haleigh, they made the focus on Misty and what she was doing one weekend and
what happened six months ago and what happened seven years ago. It was tunnel vision. Cummings has cut off interviews with investigators.

From Papa's link also.......out of Ron's own mouth, they suspect him. And I would love to know what happened 6 months ago and 7 years ago.........very interesting. Any one have a clue what it was?
I remember this article and it being discussed-don't ask me where with all the zillions of posts on here! It was right after his arrest for the Tommy C. incident.
I don't know if he is generalizing and just using those dates for an example or certain events were singled out that happened during the time frame he gave.
I'll give a guess to "6 mos. ago" DCF investigation? Since we can't see those records we don't know when it was open but it has been stated that one of the reasons he moved to the 3 br home was so his children could have seperate bedrooms and I believe that was around the time he was looking into moving.
"7 years ago"

It's clear to me that Ron must not understand that when an incident involving foul play arises that LE looks at the people closest to the child first.
If they can't rule them out then they can't move on outside that area. How does he know who they questioned and who they didn't? And if Ron and Misty are not giving honest answers to the investigators it makes their job even harder. The reason they have to focus on you, Ron, and you, Misty is because an action of yours, even if you don't realize it, could have led to what happened to Haleigh. That is why they want to know who you talked to, what you talked about, what you did, where you went, etc. Ron seems to be the type that doesn't want anyone, especially LE, all up in his business. He has stated that to the public. I can see that, I wouldn't like it either but if it could lead to Haleigh's whereabouts then who cares?
Unless you have something to hide, which IMO, Ron and Misty do.
