Thank you so much for posting these charges inside the thread. I have devoted a very good lump of my time into the research of these charges as well as the outcome of these charges. Inconsequential of note, in my opinion, because what you have succeeded in affirming is that if you are ambitious enough there is much to discover in the past history of each and every key player in this case. Please note that the information that you have raised for discussion pertain to the year of 2002. Haleigh Cummings was born August 17, 2003, please note...Haleigh WAS NOT BORN at the time of the charges in your above post, but nearly 9 months after. FACT. Also of note Marie Griffis married Bruce Griffis, I think the date of record is late December of 2001. I am linking to their marriage cert. found here on WS in the stickies. Link

So where are we? Ronald and Crystal enter into a relationship and soon after Crystal becomes pregnant with Haleigh. Crystal's mother marries Bruce Griffis late 2001. But if you take the time to look into the records you might see that there is a trend beginning to form with Ronald Cummings as well as Crystal. Marie appears to have no objection with the relationship that her child has entered into with Ronald. Haleigh is born in the summer of 2003 and Crystal and Ronald carried on a relationship throughout the next good lump of time.
Next date of note February 15, 2005 and on this day we see the birth of Ronald JR, which then leads us to the next date of not which happens in 2005 as well.
2005 The Putnam County Clerk records show that Ronald Cummings sought paternity (custody?) in 2005 against Crystal Sheffield. Indeed there is much to discover and the truth is there for all to read if we are so inclined.
Whisperer you have no problem in providing the necessary information to support your claims that Ronald Cummings has a past and I actually thank you and others for doing so. Without all of your hard work I would not have been able to come to possess the opinions that I have formed. I took the information that was out there and arrived at the opinion that Haleigh Cummings was born into a dysfunctional family on both ends of the family spectrum. Maternal and Paternal sides included. But rather than accuse the mother and father of this child of her disappearance and possible murder, I am refraining from passing judgment on them based on charges that go back before the birth of their children. If we are to declare them guilty based on charges, intertwined with rumors and speculations of drug usage based on the company each one keeps then perhaps we should call for the arrest and prosecution of all these family members and lock them up in a cell until we find Haleigh.
Then...after we find Haleigh and determine who
wasn't involved...we will let out the family members that are not guilty. The guilty ones will already be locked up so case closed right? I can not agree. Innocent until proven guilty is the foundation that our country was built on. Perhaps you don't agree with it, but our forefathers that established the laws for which our country was built on protects the innocent and prosecutes the guilty. I agree that it is difficult to be patient and wait for Law Enforcement to discover the truth but it is how things must be done. This is not Iraq, where we can arrest who we think is guilty and slaughter them at the stake, this is the United States of America.
