Misty's New Interview

[dodie20]

And I also wish they'd asked her why the Tommy/Joe story? And what significance the "couch" had, I remember Lisa being cut off about Tommy on the couch, and we've all heard the other couch story. Not sure if any is true of course. Jmo

IMO, the only person who can answer the whys of the JO story would be Tommy. Misty was obviously just backing him up. Why would she agree to do that? Who knows...but IMO, she didn't know what the heck she was talking about. Also, maybe Tommy should be asked to explain the couch story since it was he that his mother was talking to. Misty recanted the JO story, so what could she say besides, 'I lied'. MOO.

 

[Chablis]

Crystal Sheffield said that. Not Misty.

Oh yes, if Crystal says something that bathes this guy in a positive light, its the truth, but if she says he beat her, shes a liar. :waitasec:

 

[Whisperer]

I don't believe the abuse claim, nonsense imo

. She's aimed at the other family, Tommy, Joe, and now Ron. Crystal never said he had abused the children and we've never heard Amber speak. She's grasping at straws imo. I wish someone had asked her about the one story Flo said she was told by someone, about Misty hitting HaLeigh with a piece of wood or something, mind you it's just heresay and I also don't believe stories that I am guessing are from some Croslins. Jmo

Nonsense?

Somebody turned in ron and misty between Nov and jan 2009...as LE stated they child services had been at 202 Green to investigate. There was a reason for CPS to be called. It may have been provoked by the PIC we all saw of a bruise on jr resembling being hit with a stick-like weapon.

To think the ron is not abusive is really stretching the imagination to encompass a kind and loving human being. HE dispolays none of those attributes. All one has to do is listen to him on audio tapes. He is a ticking time bomb walking around with a very short fuse. He is clever though and has managed to avoid many consequences by having the ability to deflect. He is a talker. He also is not afraid to asy anyone to plead his case and help him out of a jam.

It could also be that rc was furious about the DCF coming to Green. He may have filed the paperwork to go after CS for past support in retaliation for her filing on him. He is one that seeks out revenge on anyone that speaks against him.d This is not nonsense. This is logical thinking. rc is vindictive and the proof is in the pudding..in this case we can hear him ourselves.

 

[Whisperer]

By a statement released to AH, an employee said that misty called rc @ work and was having trouble w/Haleigh. rc said "Just whip her or put in a DVD". This certainly sounds to me like beating was part of discipline in the MH.

By conincidence, what did misty tell LE? She told them she put in a DVD. Have to wonder if that was just HALF of the story.

Very good points. Would love to hear what Tommy has to say, although it would be very hard to believe him imo

Nonsense? Too many people have reported that Ron abused someone, and just 'cause DCF didn't do their job, does not mean it didn't happen. With Ron's temper that has been proven and the various accusations, it's nonsense that there is any doubt -- it happened. The whole world is not set out to say bad things about one Ron Cummings. He's really not that important.

I don't share your opinion, and don't believe he's abusive in any way. We heard crystal say her cousin Candyce said Ron hit HaLeigh, I don't believe that. She also didn't mention her father's statement that Ron was abusive, I don't believe that either. It was about custody imo. I do think they had a dust up as Crystal stated, and I suspect she was physical and he was keeping her away from him. Jmo. DCF found no abuse. I've not seen any evidence Ron has a temper any more than anyone else. Again, Misty's grabbing at anything she can think of, imo. All nonsense, jmo.

 

[bessie]

This is what I mean by Misty manipulating certain things. Yes, I believe her when she says she and the children were abused. But why come out with that now? It's like she's using it now to defend herself against something. But what is that something? lol...I'm racking my brain but can't find anything. This is the way I see it...Ron made a deal and swore to be truthful. Personally, I think LE is holding him to his end of the bargain...as we speak. They're either getting the truth out of him, or he's gonna get it. If Misty knows he's talking, then she knows what he's saying, hence, the need to defend herself. So, now we hear about Ron's abuse and drug use. I know I sound jaded, but IMO, it seems that what it took for Misty to open up, is for Ron to turn on her. Ron's being forced to talk and Misty in retaliation, is talking. But as long as the truth comes out, does the motivation even matter? NO. We always knew these people would have to turn on each other for the truth to come out. Anyway, this is just MOO based on current events and this interview.

The best defense is a good offense. It's possible that Misty doesn't have a clue what Ron's saying, or if he's even talking at all. But just in case, she's going to sling a few arrows his way to let him know that she's willing to give up the dirt on him if he turns on her. In the event that down the road the truth reveals her involvement, she's setting up her "devil made me do it" defense. That's not to say I don't believe her allegations, because I do. It's her timing that troubles me.

I guess I'm way more jaded than you, Dodie, because I see the entire interview as Misty's attempt at self-promotion. And like Donjeta said, if she's still making excuses for herself regarding the drug crimes, there's not a snowball's chance in he!! that she's ready to tell the truth about Haleigh.

I'd like to add that I agree with another opinion I read here the other night, and I regret that I don't remember who posted it. Portraying herself as an abused woman aids Misty's chance of survival within those prison walls, because no doubt she's faced hostility from more than one angry inmate who believes she's responsible for Haleigh's death. To make the best of her situation and avoid trouble, she'll say anything to dispel those beliefs. Her life depends on it. So, if the drug bust was intended to loosen tongues, it backfired. Misty has no incentive to tell the truth now, just more reason to lie.

 

[lonetraveler]

I agree.. But IMO we don't really know what all she has told LE.. We do know she has claimed LE has not been interested in hearing anything about Ron C being involved and she even stated in this interview it was apparent LE wasn't doing anything to solve this case...JMHO

Good point! That is one reason that I have posted earlier that I hope that Misty gives any information to someone in addition to LE and her so-called attorney. I don't trust that LE would even lift a finger if she told the truth while hooked up to a shock collar that would activate whenever she lied. I think they would just ignore it.

BBM: Am I interpreting this correctly? Are you saying that you think that Crystal was physically abusive to Ron and that he was just holding her back away from him to protect himself? I don't want to misinterpret such an important statement. Do you mind clarifying? Thank you.

This would definitely not be the first time that Florida DCF has dropped a child through the cracks and the child was later murdered. In fact, Florida DCF has been in the news a lot in the past few years for this exact situation.

Except we know he went on to try to get Crystals sister to beat the crap out of Amber while pregnant with HIS child, and he beat Misty. He's abusive, jmo.

I think it was a fairly normal scrap amongst a very young couple, and using drugs if she was telling the truth imo. From her story in her own words, her anger that he was doing coke and she couldn't, was very very strong imo. It raises more questions than it answers as far as future conduct imo. Jmo

 

[zadari]

you know i wish law enforcement could come up with a way to make them fess up bribe them somehow lol. make it worth their while to fess up and then bust them later for something else .. im just being desperate i guess .. i wanna know where she is poor lil angel .. she deserves to have a decent burial if she is dead and i do think she is .

 

[lonetraveler]

Thanks dodie...and wow! Until this current interview, I never heard that Misty gave either child a bath that evening.

If anyone can provide a link where Misty or Ron (or anyone) had claimed Misty bathed Haleigh that evening please do because, until I see where it was mentioned before, I have to assume this is a new twist to Misty's story.

TIA since I can't get on here as often as I used to.

It would be great to know if Jr. was clean and freshly bathed or dirty that early morning but it really only matters if he was dirty. IMO Jr. wasn't even at the MH that night, I think he was with Annette Sykes while the cover-up was going on until just before LE showed up in response to the 911 call. But, I could change my mind if it was confirmed that Jr. was nasty and was not bathed. You would think that if Jr. was taken over to his Great Grandmother's house that evening that she would have bathed him prior to putting him to bed. Hummmmmmmmmmmm!:waitasec:

The only people I've read reports on that were physically abusive were Ron, (by many), and Misty, (the bus stop witness). and I believe them. Anybody who would slap a little kid across the face, in broad daylight, would do worse behind closed doors, IMO. In this interview, Misty totally removed herself from that particular situation. just said Ron picked Haleigh up. MOO.

Oh wow...I think you have hit on why there were so many different stories of who picked Haleigh up at the bus. Misty claimed Ron picked her up to get around any flak that might come their way about Misty having slapped a little boy in the van. And Ron and TN (and IIRC Chelsea too) say Ron picked Haleigh up to get around any flak over Misty's alleged behavior at the bus stop because they didn't want DCF checking into any allegation that Misty had hit a child at the bus stop.

I understand what you're saying, why would LE say Ron picked her up? I admit I don't always understand LE's actions, in another case a child found in september, identified oct iirc, and the parents only told in may. Some weird stuff imo

this is what I've been thinking for awhile. I couldn't decide if they were trying to remove Misty from this situation or remove Ron from wherever he was. CC backing this story decided it for me. She would protect Misty only, IMO. Also, this whole bus stop incident is what has me semi convinced that Ron might be covering for Misty. Because he gave a very detailed chain of events about picking Haleigh up. If Misty picked her up, then why would he claim to have done it? and I believe the bus stop witnesses. MOO.

 

[SmoothOperator]

at the 55 second mark into the interview Misty is describing the events that occurred February 9th.. she first states doesn't know watt awoke her..then says she went to bathroom..then switches to she went to kitchen and light was on[as already discussed not a peep about that door there in that well lit kitchen was propped wide open with cider block].. Immediately after she states she went to kitchen and the light was on she says that she went back to bedroom to get her phone to call Ron..says she calls him 20 something times and he "don't answer"..

after this she then states that she saw that Haleigh was not in her bed and that she was missing..

She clearly says that she did not see or realize Haleigh was not in her bed until after the 20 something calls are made to Ron..

The amount of main details of that night that have been changed..omitted..or other wise by Misty is really beginning to be an outstanding amount..

Around the 3:58 mark what Misty speaks about..her demeanors and body language IMO is just another indicator that Misty knows that RON is not involved in Haleigh's murder.. Even tho she makes attempts in the video to move suspicion off of her and onto others at that 3:58 mark those tears are flowing freely..no just welling up with some tears or sniffles but literally tears streaming down her face..her demeanor and obvious emotions showing and telling the hurt that she feels greatly and she says Ronald should have known me better..he knew that I would never hurt either of his kids..no matter what his family says Ronald knows I'd never hurt one of those kids..

I think she is expressing her deep hurt in that Ronald could ever even think for a moment that she'd done something to Haleigh.. An obvious indicator IMO that Ronald is not involved therefor she would not be feeling that hurt that's expressed in her eyes..her words..her demeanor if he were in any way involved.. This deep hurt wouldn't be present because if he was involved Misty would not have a need to be hurt..there wouldn't be that hurt because she would know that Ronald was there and involved therefor what she is hurting over would be moot..
