I am one who was critical of Tim Miller's involvement in more than just searching. My position was and is that he should not have been setting up some undercover sting because that is the role of LE. I was and am still worried that civilian "stings" are not admissible in court. I also have issue with Miller revealing what any family member might say to him in the privacy of his or her own home. In criticizing Miller's behavior in this area, I was not making a statement about the Cummings family; I was making a statement about what I take to be decent human behavior. Most people don't expect that what they say in their own homes is fair game for media release. How can any family trust Tim Miller if he tells what they tell him to the media? Certainly if someone confessed to a crime or an important clue slipped out, Miller has every right and obligation to go to LE with what he learns. And certainly, if he had contacted Ron's attorney or someone else in the family and reported that he was worried that Ron would harm Misty, I could understand THAT. Putting this information out in the media only served Tim Miller. He isn't a saint; he can make mistakes. I think this was one of them, along with his comments about Mark Klaas.
I've never thought either Ron or Crystal was involved in Haleigh's disappearance, so I am not surprised about anything Miller said. He is a smart guy and tries to do good work. I think he has been over-reaching in some cases lately and should stick to what he started out to do: organizing searches. If he can't get enough good information to do a search, he can just say so and move on to another case. But like anyone else in the public eye, when he screws up, he will be criticized.
