Defending Misty on Jan 10, 2011 in Putnam County

[Emeralgem]

Okay, here is the quote from tonight's JVM show--



C. CROSLIN: Well, honestly -- honestly, it would be -- probably the best thing that ever happened to me my entire life besides the day my children that were born if I was the one that had Haleigh with me here in Massachusetts or anywhere.

I don`t know what happened to her. I have been willing to take lie detector tests. So does my husband. The cops don`t believe we had anything to do with it. And that`s why they hadn`t lie detected us. That would be my dream come true, for Haleigh to come home.

And IMHO this being a fact is totally unbelievable and something needs to be done about it...

 

[Chablis]

I hate this case.

 

[krkrjx]

There are cases all over the country that remain unsolved for years, some forever. But Haleigh's case is one that should have been solved, could have been solved easily, IMO, if it had been handled properly.

 

[Emeralgem]

I hate this case.

It's not this case it's the people involved in this case...

 

[cluciano63]

This case makes me feel old, Misty could do her whole 25 and still be a handful of years younger than me when she gets out...still have a life ahead of her. Poor Haleigh. And Crystal.

 

[Hippy Chick]

Not nearly long enough IMO but the $1.25 million fine is quite hilarious. Even despite the 5 years of probation, she won't get off probation until every single bit of the $1.25 million is paid so she may as well sit her butt in prison for the rest of her life.

And just think, all of this could have been avoided if she would just tell the truth, that simple, just tell where Haleigh is at and what happened to her.


~JMO~

I don't think she really knows herself

 

[Lanie]

I guess I'm stirring the pot here, but do you guys really think this is all on LE being corrupt and/or inept?

At the very beginning, a 911 call was made by the gf/babysitter about a missing 5 year old child while the father of this child screamed obscenities in the background, and what little time he spent on the phone with 911 was combative and not helpful. While I can understand his frustration over what may have seemed to him stupid questions, get over it and answer them, it's not like it's interfering with you looking for your missing daughter or anything.

To loosely quote some cop in 1921 regarding the Dorothy Arnold disappearance 11 years after the fact, "The interested parties do not seem interested."

LE shows up, and Misty proceeds to give them, IMO, one of the lamest stories ever. And it goes downhill from there. We can't even say with any certainty who picked Haleigh up from the bus stop that day, because even that little bitty fact has 3 or 4 different versions out there by the people involved. If this is what it's like over information that probably has no bearing on what happened to Haleigh, can you imagine what these people are telling LE about stuff that might actually be incriminating?

Was Misty even at the home that night? LE might know now, maybe, but from what was coming out in the media back then, it seemed to be at least a couple of months before they could even come close to a probably one way or the other.

If Haleigh was killed at the trailor, unless it was a bloody death, how much evidence would there really be to show that? It's not like a 5 year old is going to be capable of putting up such a struggle against an adult the trailor would be trashed. Forensics would find evidence of her all over because she lived there, and the same goes for the cars, which might be why so many seem to be crawling out of the woodwork claiming credit for who took Haleigh home from the bus stop.

There is so much more, fights over guns, guns here, guns there, how many got the gun from the culvert that wasn't in the culvert that didn't even exist that there was no fight over? GGM brought over laundry she washed and Misty did laundry that night and that morning Ron and Misty both had to make mad dash to GGM to get laundry and Misty walked Haleigh to her class even though Ron took her to school by himself and almost hit children at the bus stop while he stayed home in bed and Misty was the only one who took her because they were in bed sleeping all day with Jr. and Haleigh rode the magic mystery bus to school.

IMO, LE came to Ron with their theories Misty was involved, and Ron MARRIED her.

If anyone has read about Kyron Hormon, he is still missing, too, and in that case it seems like both the parents are co-operating. IMO, LE came to Kaine and told him Teri was involved, and he filed for divorce, and he also seems to be doing everything he can within the law to get her to talk. And Kyron is still missing, too.

I know I'm frustrated about this case, and I feel like even though the 'main' people are in jail, it's just not enough. I didn't expect Misty to get anymore than she did, but it's still a disappointment to me she didn't get more. So I'm trying to find a silver lining, maybe they didn't get them for Haleigh, but they did get them for something, and they are going to do some serious prison time, and maybe that's all we get from this. At least today Ron, Misty, and Tommy are all behind bars.

 

[kolokolo]

Putnam County gave Misty a gift today, time to run with her sentence from SJC. Misty will now spend what should be the best years of her life behind bars ...

NO answers from Misty about lil Haleigh yet NO outrage from the Cummings family ... strange almost like they knew what was coming down. Where was GMS and Crystal Cummings? Were they not there?

JMHO ... Misty will always be known as the fall girl for the Cummings family!

Excellent post, and I feel your frustration.

As for inept handling of the case by LE, there certainly is glaring evidence of that, IMO. Yes, LE searched for Haleigh, had personnel and private searchers out trudging through the woods, the fields, and the waterways. I do believe LE wanted to find this little girl. However...

What were they thinking in putting the bedding out on the MH ramp? Why take it out of the house at all? The dogs should have been brought into the home, not evidence taken outside. And if they did need to bring things out for the dogs, certainly there were personal items of Haleigh's that could have been brought out instead of the bed sheets! And WHY wasn't the Magnolia MH and surrounding area searched immediately?

Why would LE send searchers and investigators away? It seems they were in over their heads, had uncooperative family to contend with, basically (to use your phrase) interested parties who did not seem interested so why did they not want whatever help was offered?

LE should have separated Ron and Misty in the very beginning and questioned both relentlessly for as long as they could legally do so. I don't care if Ron was at work; family is always the first suspect in a case like this and everyone knows that! Ron should have been treated with respect, yes, but not given special treatment beyond what any potential suspect would be in a missing child case.

As for Misty, she should have been questioned without Ron around. Even husband and wife are kept separate by LE during questioning so why was Ron bringing Misty in and picking her up? By law, Misty's mother or father could have been there during questioning, but those two are also interested parties who did not seem interested, IMO.

If someone at LE had taken Misty under their wing and tried to gain her trust, she might have been a more willing participant in the early days of the investigation. Misty really needed someone in her court--not to protect her from the law but to protect her from the manipulation of those interested parties who appeared less interested in Haleigh's whereabouts than they were in manipulating a witness. Not only Ron, but Teresa, also. Remember that in the early days, Teresa was praising Misty non-stop.

Ron married her. Teresa defended her motherly capabilities. And LE didn't seem alarmed by any of it. A child was missing; she was the last one to see her, yet RC and none of his family even suspected Misty for a second? FGS, it's human nature to be suspicious under such circumstances---so why weren't they?? And why did this not raise a giant red flag with LE?

They are behind bars--not for Haleigh, but locked up nonetheless. I would like to see them stay there but sadly do not feel they will. If they were there for Haleigh, they would do the time, but on drug convictions alone I am feeling less positive they will remain incarcerated for very long.

But, at least for now, they are not out living their lives.

One more thing: I feel deeply for Crystal and the pain she has suffered but for the life of me I cannot understand why she was not up in LE's face at least weekly demanding updates and demanding justice for her child. I have heard of other cases were LE had given up but family kept pushing until they got answers. Often that's what it takes to get results.

I hope I get these names right, but do you remember the Jeffery Mcdonald case? It was Colette, (his murdered wife)'s, step father, who rode LE's case, until he got to the truth. & that involved the military. I could understand him outsmarting officials for so long-he was a brilliant doctor-but Ron? Misty? Tommy?

'The interested parties, do not seem interested'. Somebody should start a thread, because that is the meat to this case. The people who should care enough to put their own azzes on the line, don't.

 

[Inspector Gidget]

I saw Misty in court on JVM show.She looked totally different,she's gained weight ,hair is shorter.Not the same girl that entered the

jail.Another 25 years and she will age even more.I can see where it's taking a toll on her.Don't get me wrong I think they should all be lifers

because they all had some part to play.To spend all her very young years in jail is going to break her.I think the reason she doesn't talk is

because she knows she will still be sitting where she is right now with even more time.They played the pointing game all along because

they wanted to confuse the police.They are all guilty in my mind.I do think the one that killed Haleigh is not in jail

 

[twall]

I'm confused after looking at this link, is Misty currently in the PC jail?
Type in Cummings and search. Look at the date next to Misty's name, it was yesterday when she was there for her court date but there is no release date. Click on the booking # and the page shows her booking date of 1/20/2010 9:23:00 PM when she was arrested for drug trafficking then moved to St. Johns Co jail.

http://public.pcso.us/jail/inmates.aspx

I never got an e-mail from Vinelink saying she had been moved back to the DOC and they are always prompt and accurate.

I have heard of other cases were LE had given up but family kept pushing until they got answers. Often that's what it takes to get results.

We don't have a lot of concrete info of what has and hasn't been done, but IMO it's possible to form logical, plausible conclusions, even if they are just opinion, from what has come out in the media.

Ron's "Misty is innocent" behavior, yes, it should have raised red flags, and IMO, it did. Even if the entire PC department was filled with inept, corrupt, bumbling fools, FDLE and the FBI were also involved. I would guess the large majority of posters on this thread would have examined Ron's alibi under a microscope, and I believe LE did the same, at least in the beginning, every time Ron pulled his number one cheerleader for Misty act. When LE came out to the media and said the parents weren't suspects, I believe they were confident in this because they were convinced Ron was at work.

As far as the dogs, IMO it would be best to give them scent out in the open, not inside where other scents could cause confusion. GGM says she did the children's laundry and she also said she brought it home the night before. Maybe LE had nothing else to use but the bedding that they were sure Haleigh's scent was on, IDK, this is just a guess. IDK what they did with the bedding after it was put on the ramp, they could have taken it in for testing or thrown it in the dumpster for all I know, but I don't know what was going to be on the bedding that couldn't be seen with the naked eye that was going to be helpful in finding Haleigh.

Taking any of these people in for forcible questioning would have involved arresting them. Trying to separate Ron and Misty for questioning should have been easy, but Ron seems to have refused to listen to anything LE said about Misty, and so did his family, so really, what else could LE do?

Crystal, Haleigh's mom? I remember the beginning, and I remember some access of her FB, and the discussions of comments she had posted about Haleigh and Jr., and all the pics she had posted of her new baby with little to nothing of her other children. There's also a news article somewhere I will dig up if I need to claiming Crystal tested positive for drugs after Ron was arrested and she regained custody of Jr. My heart bleeds for Crystal, but IMO she was no more parent of the year material than Ron was.

In Caylee's case, we have KC and company claiming all kinds of things about LE and the investigation, yet when the document dumps started, that all turned out to be lies. 'Arrested on a whim' my patootie. What makes anyone think this case is any different? At least at the beginning, Ron was all over Misty like syrup on pancakes, so LE getting someone on the inside to befriend Misty, not a chance. TES eventually did do just that, and their 'undercover agent' is now in prison for dealing drugs with Misty. And even though Ron divorced Misty, and said nasty things about Misty, and seemed like he was coming around to seeing Misty might have been involved, the day Misty gets arrested for trafficking, looky, looky, there Ron is in handcuffs right beside her. And it's just my opinion, but I think the circus from hell Caylee's case had become had an impact on how LE was handling this one. There was a lot of critcism for Orlando LE arresting Casey as soon as they did, and hindsight is great, but IMO, at the time this was going on, it's a dammed if you do and dammed if you don't situation.

 

[Chablis]

The only thing that does not gel with the cops thinking Ron was at work, and he is iron clad, is Rons own words to Cobra, where he says the cops used the F word when asking him about his wearabouts AFTER work, so I dont know how anyone can think the cops dont suspect Ron, he was targeted in that sting just as much as Misty. The LE had more than enough charges to hang Misty without including Ronald Cummings. If Ron had been with Misty just to get the truth, <gag me> he would have been informed and in on the drug stings.

That's what I am saying. Because of things like this, I don't think Ron's alibi was established by LE simply calling his boss, asking if he was there, the boss saying yes, and LE thinking, "Well, that's good enough for us." I think LE did everything they could think of to break his alibi.

And, lets be real, I think Putnam, knows what Ronald is and has dealt with him for YEARS. There is a reason that hes sitting in prison, and its not just because of drugs, at least he is contained while they build a case. I really dont buy that all these cops and FDLE and FBI are covering up and hiding stuff for Ron, the Cummings/Sykes are NOT the Satsuma Kennedys, getting Ronald off the streets was important, even if they suspect Ron, which I am real sure they do, suspicion is not enough grounds to take a case to trial and win, it has to be done right. Maybe Misty does love Ron enough to sit 10 more years than him, I really dont know.

 

[SailorMoon]

Misty's sentencing stirs up these thoughts for me -- Ron's numerous prior drug arrests...all dropped. Hmmm. How long LE held that home for evidence - it was days if not a week or more or two, I have never in my life seen something held that long. I mean look at the 2 Oklahoma girls that were shot, they opened the road a few hours later and let it be graded for pete's sakes. Such differences in different LE's drive me nuts....but why did they hold the Ronald's home for that long??? Why???

Misty's life will be a coulda, shoulda, woulda. Too bad it turned out this way for her, but it was all by her choice. I can't help be feel sorry for her dad, I know he's at fault for his own problems but him saying - we'll figure this out - just made me feel bad for him. No reason to know so don't jump on the bash hank bandwagon. And as someone just posted above and I love this line - the interested parties don't seem interested. That describes the Anthonys to a t as well. I'm just sick of kids disappearing and no one seems to give a rats behind but about themselves and their image. Bah humbug.

The ball is literally in Mistys court, it really is. I am very sure that if she said to LE, hey, I am ready to tell what happened, here are the conditions, I want to be released and get a suspended sentence, and I will tell you what really happened, and I was afraid to tell the truth because I was brainwashed by Ronald to the extent I now have his name on my lower back for the rest of my life, heck she could probably even say, I want my sentence suspended and help me get that dang tattoo off my back, and I bet the state would say, ok! She is the one that is making this hard for herself, what she needs is a GOOD lawyer and she needs to get honest and realize that Ronald never really loved her.

There are 2 news clips here. It's been said LE was going to question Misty before this hearing, and when Misty comes into court her face is red and puffy, and when she sits down she is wiping away tears.

The reporter also states they talked to LE and LE says this is still an active investigation and they are still questioning people. They also refer to an interview with Ron' mom, I'll see if I can find a link to that.
