I don't think the media is involved, along with the Putnam County Sheriff's Department, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other unnamed Law Enforcement agencies, in covering up for Ronald Cummings, or Teresa Neves, or even Anette Sikes.

krk, I understand what you are saying, however, it doesn't work for me. Remember the stories about the mother bear? I was in that situation once with my children when she came charging. Believe me their little feet never touched the ground as I raced them to safety. That's what mothers do; the bear and the human.
I don't care how mean Ron's eyes look, it doesn't matter. You, as a mother are their protector. I doesn't matter how depressed you are. You are their saviour - they are your blessings.
Even though this is not appropriate to this mystery, I like the words by Edgar Allan Poe "loved with a loved that was more than a love."
What I wouldn't give for five minutes with that AC guy. He doesn't have all the answers, but he sure could narrow down the possibilities.What is the AC man so scared about? What is Traylor afraid of? Why are they resisting interviews, that is assuming they have been asked?
IIRC, Misty said she was out of the mobile home but just on the front porch, and only long enough to have a smoke.
As for Crystal not doing anything to save her kids, it's pretty easy for us to say we would have acted, regardless of the courts or the threats of the father, etc., but viewing a situation from the outside and actually living in it are two very different animals.
My assessment of Crystal is that she suffers from depression. She may or may not have been doing drugs at the time but if she indeed suffers from clinical depression, she may have been powerless to act. I recall that she did plead with the courts to help save her babies from their reckless dad, and the court ignored her pleas. That's a pretty big slap in the face, and puts a person with little self-esteem to begin with in an even worse frame of mind.
We can sit in our comfy homes and speak of what we would do in Crystal's situation but I will say that Ronald Cummings is most definitely not a person I would want gunning after me! So, unless Crystal had somewhere to run where there were people she could trust to help her when he came after her, she may have had no choices, or at least believed she didn't. Crystal wanted her babies safe but I think she knew no matter what she did he was going to take them back...and maybe even convince a judge to strip her of visitation rights.
4Jacy...Look into that dude's mean eyes and it won't take you long to realize you would definitely not want to run into him in a dark alley. I have had a hard time with research and going back over this case mainly because I almost become ill whenever I have to look at RC's photos. Honestly, I have no problem at all hearing in my mind Ron threatening Crystal that if she made waves he would throw her body off the Dunn's Creek Bridge where it would never be found, because that's a great place to dump a body.
so, TN is claiming that Misty doesn't know anything? What about her being a witch? what about, 'do you think she's gonna talk'? (paraphrased). what about those LDTs? unbelievable. If I take out the tests failures, I too wouldn't think Misty knows much. What kind of verification do we have, that she actually failed? That LVA bugs me...mainly because of the questions she was asked. I know she was lying, when talking about Crystal being involved, that was obvious, but I believed a lot of what she had to say. There was a point, when asked about who all she thought was invoved, where she 'accidentally', added an extra number, & it looked like she was about to form the letter R, (for Ron?), & then corrected herself. 'Accidentally', letting things almost slip, seems like a really risky thing to do, (perfect for the immature?) ...but in her defense, if she was lying, she was smooth. It wasn't the same flow as her other lies. My overall feeling, after watching the video, was that Misty wasn't sure of what happened, but had ideas, & wasn't willing to exclude Ron from her suspicions. The things that were obvious lies, were the details about what led up to that night. I tried to find the video last night, but it had been removed. of couse...ughhh...
This all may come down to some Politics in the community and them protecting their own residents. I am going to do more research but it is very odd for a State to have sooooo many Counties. We have 58 in California and they have 68 in Florida. Look at the difference in size! Lots of money going out to support these very small populated Counties!! I thought it was strange that no one was out talking to media at the time. They are either living in fear of LE or living in fear of getting physically hurt by somebody. It can't be that almost every residence has a phobia against cameras, could it?

Thanks for these links. I had never watched the hypnosis video, mainly because I had read that it was unsuccessful, & I had never seen the LVA in its entirety. interesting stuff.Dodie, here are the links to the raw videos of the tests Misty took that Tim Miller arranged. They have not been removed.

& going on about blankets, pee & laundry. I read somewhere, (a link on this site, I think), that said mentioning laundry, is a sign of sex abuse. I don't know how that correlation can be made, but who knows...the mind, especially the subconscious mind, is a tricky thing.It really is a shame none of us got the story. Hardy said in an interview that Jr was NOT sleeping in the bedroom with misty. Misty (in the tape) stated she didn't know people were on their way there over there (sic). Strange and loose talk.l then we hear her talk about blood in the van..eeks! She is difficult to understand. No one seems to be able to pin here down.
