FL-AMBER ALERT Haleigh Cummings 5 yrs. old - Putnam County #9

[77NancyDrew]

abc news interview with Misty:

(Rambles about the blanket in this one)

What does she mean by the van that they took?
LE or someone else?

From this map it appears that her brother lives right behind the Cummings home..that would just about explain the back door being propped if she had gone to her brothers and left the door open so if the kids woke up she could maybe hear them. These maps are old and it's possible there are roads and pathways now that we can't see on the map.

That makes sense, she'd not leave the front door open in case someone saw it and would tell the father. (tight knit community maybe people talk to one another)
The woods there also provide cover if someone were to stalk them and the house. If she had a habit of sneaking out and a sex offender was stalking, he'd have had an opportunity to grab the little girl.
This may also explain why Misty didn't call 911 right away at 3am when she says she first realized Haleigh missing. If Misty wasn't even in the house, then she probably ran around looking for her until the dad got home, then called 911.
Anyone with common sense would call 911 right away.

Repeating my question....wow this thread is moving fast. In an interview the girlfriend mentioned that THEY took the van....does she mean LE took the van? Did this family have 2 cars. I am curious about what she meant by the van

I heard about that, too. Haven't heard who's it was, who took it...but seems like it was something about the blanket stuff in her one interview.

ETA : The interview when she's on the sofa (?) with her mom (?) http://www.news4jax.com/video/18700882/index.html

Yes that is what I keep asking!! What van is she talking about and who has the van now!

I edited my previous post to add this quote, but in case anyone missed it, I found Amster's post scathingly brilliant and reading it, made me re-affirm what I felt about Ron from the start:

I think the gf sounds like she's been coached what to say....and, sometimes she forgets her lines. Which irritates Ronald. I think they both know exactly what happened to Haleigh.

Thank you, Amster, for opening my eyes. You are right on.

Good find ElizaAvalon...wonder if this was who was at the home? Remember if was stated that Brother or cousins came over but had left around 5:00.
Would be interested to see his background check.....any drug issues?

I do think it was this brother who was over at the house because I believe we know it was more than one boy that came over. This brother of gf's has 2 boys and a girl (baby). The other brother has 2 girls.

I see domestic violence and child support records, but no drug issues. At least not that I can find.

I never got the van story straight either, but think that it was LE that took the van to look for evidence.

He still shows incarcerated with FDOC and the charge was for 17 yr old having sex with someone 12-15.

Are we sure this perp is not out? An older guy that likes younger girls in girlfriends past....that is scary.

 

[standing0]

Yes, I know this...what I.m saying that is with all the apps he has on his page....it's ironic that it is the money bag one. Not to mention that he would be doing that while her daughter is missing.

Oh I agree. Part of me thinks maybe he's trying his best to calm her down? Maybe cheer her up a little? I don't know...if my child was missing there is absolutely nothing ANYONE could do to cheer me up, but I'm sure they would try as best as they knew how.

What I want to know is, why did she delete her comments from before Jan. 28th?

She left Chad a comment on Nov. 28th, so she had a Myspace at that time, but had zero comments for two months? Seems a little odd I guess.

That's what i'm guessing too, or it would have been reported as stolen.

That makes perfect sense. Why would the brother and kids walk all the way around or even drive when they can walk through the woods - assuming there's a path...

Has it been said if there was a deadbolt on the front door as well?
If there is not one, it is VERY easy to break into a mobile home.. all you need is a flat headed screwdriver and you can accomplish entry without leaving any markings.

Agree. Lived in a mobile home. Locked self out once or twice and all it took was a screwdriver to pop front and back doors open with no effort and no marks at all. Even if door locked, if temperature varies over several hours, my rooms would pop open with the locks still intact. Door/jam contracting and expanding will cause mobile home door to pop wide open. Happened more than once!

I wish there was a way to get a travel trailer or a small rv out there for the father and the girlfriend to sleep in rather than a tent. I am sure he wants to stay right there, and I would too. Does anyone know if they can be hooked up to existing electric at the mobile home. Anyone know anything about renting one?

Bless You!

 

[tfrohning]

LE doesn't need to tell us anything right now.

Ron could have slipped away. All I know is I believe he found time to harm his daughter, hide her body, then set the stage for the big performance.

I don't beleive this at all. I don't think the dad anything to do with his daugher disappearing

Volunteers Join Search for Haleigh

snip

Miller told First Coast News volunteers will have their eyes on a specific area. He wouldn't say where that is because he doesn't want to jeopardize the investigation, but investigators have been very busy in the woods within yards of Haleigh's home.

This does not sound good...

From the article:

"Miller told First Coast News volunteers will have their eyes on a specific area. He wouldn't say where that is because he doesn't want to jeopardize the investigation, but investigators have been very busy in the woods within yards of Haleigh's home.
Miller says volunteers will know where to go just before they head out. Miller says the overall search will focus on a five mile radius around Haleigh's home."

Given what we have heard Tim (who I highly respect) about 5 mile radius' searches what do you think might be the reason for this search area?

Also Meow and Momtective...I think you both are onto something!
