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

[mydailyopinions]

I can't load the video's. Can someone tell us what is happening?

 

[77NancyDrew]

But did you hear like I did her(the Girlfriend) talk about someone taking the van?

Thats how I heard it also , but if the van was stolen at the same time as Haleigh, we would know that already, because it would be added to the amber alert.

I think she is a teenager with no visible means to support herself, and if she tells dad the kid disappeared while she was out of the house or otherwise intoxicated she will be out on her rearend. She has a lot on her plate at the moment, guilt, fear, shock...

I agree. Unless she had someone else in the house which she may consider much worse because he would really go crazy over that one.

I am so sorry to hear what happened to you. (((())))

I don't know about the FAS (haven't seen enough yet) but I agree she seems confused and overwhelmed. If the perp in jail was actually Misty's bf who assaulted her, that says a lot to me about a 13 year old or younger being allowed to have a gf/bf relationship to the point abuse can take place, especially being this guy was not a minor. If that is the case, it leads me to believe Misty did not have a good, stable upbringing. Right now, I am thinking she didn't do anything to Haliegh. I find it almost impossible, however, a stranger just wandered into this neighborhood and snatched this child.
I hope Haleigh is still alive, but it isn't looking good, IMO.

I am a NY'er that has been living in FL for 8 years. I have seen some of these "Super Rural" areas. What seems like dyfunction (which it is) to us, is a normal (but sad) way of life to them. It's very "Jerry Spring**". I am not putting them down, it's just the way it is. Unfortunately transients (sp?), from other areas also like to move to these areas. They can go unnoticed and blend in a way.
The schools are also HORRIBLE! Many feel that if your child isn't learning anything, what's the importance of sending them?

I don't intend for this to be mean spriited. I am just trying to clarify a few things.
A)- Being on TV and giving interviews isn't "normal", so therefor how to act isn't even on the radar for them.
B)- leaving children in a trailer (while they are sleeping) to run across to a neighbor's house, may be a normal occurance.
C)- Strangers from all over, live in these areas all the time.

Actively persued over 350 leads...still operating under assumption this is an abduction...can't answer if Haleigh was at school on Monday...

 

[SeriouslySearching]

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!

I think they normally start where the child was last seen and work out. It is standard when it is all they have to go on unless they have leads to take the search away from the area, imo.

anyone have Misty's myspace link handy? Brother may be on there and we might be able to get his name.

His name is Hank Thomas Jr. Goes by Tommy.

Will still be looking in the river today

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

I was surprised and glad to see NG devote a total hour to another story, it seems everyone has jumped to this story within a matter of hours since Monday.

Too much speculation and rumors covolutes the "story". The search for Haleigh should be the primary concern for LE. The investigation is ongoing but the reporters in their haste to "get the story", I think are screwing up on the facts.

1. Is there a life insurance policy out for this girl?
2. How come there wasn't forced entry on the backdoor?
3. Has LE checked past tenants and the owner of the trailer and got alibi's?
4. How is it possible for 44 SO's to have alibi's when everyone is sleeping at 3AM? They can't all be married or have roomates!
5. Pointing the finger at the GF is wrong, she's scared and emotionally upset.
6. the Bio Mom is doing the right thing by being there and expressing her concern.
7. The Dad is clearly devastated.
8. LE should look at Boat rentals and homes in the area that have boats, that body of water is huge. There are tons of SO's across the water in Satsuma.
9. I understand the need for looking in the woods, but this girl is long gone out of there.
10. I wish the reporters would back off and think before they report.

IMO

I am off to a Autism Conference. I'll check in later!

IIRC, I read somewhere in the past this is normal for searching on a case like this, always start 5 mi radius from home.

How can that not be answered , the Dad and GF could answer that?

 

[MeoW333]

In the presser, it said that family members are going to be interviewed again regarding the case

I know this thread topic is not about GA, but about a small girl now missing. yet something GA said on camera yesterday has stuck with me and it will not leave. I do not have the exact quote but it was something about the Haleigh's family does not need to be scrutinized(sp?). I'm thinking why not? Did he say this because he thinks his family does not need to be scrutinized in the situation they are involved in? why would anyone who knows next to nothing about a family come around and say they do not need to be looked at. It kinda borders on promoting obstruction of justice. some have said all this may help george, I think he needs to go back home and pray for his family.

I apologize to Mods if this is out of line, I just felt GA put himself into topic so it is valid for comment. that's all.

May be OT, or may get lashed with a noodle, BUT....my sis brought to my attention something TUBA on our Astro site mentioned about a "bluff" having something to do with this child....there's a "Buffalo Bluff" Road or one of those things...Lane or Cove or Street....right within that area. It a dead end street, as well.

Le said they have cleared all SO in the 5 mile radius.
Hmm
