Misty Cummings New 911 Call: Robbed When Drug Deal Went Bad?
Misty Cummings Monday night 911 call to report she’s hurt, purse snatched in robbery
By Art Harris, The Bald Truth, The Bald Truth, (c) artharris.com, all rights reserved
The Bald Truth has obtained a copy of the new 911 call Misty Cummings made to police Monday night, Oct. 18, after she was robbed and injured fighting off three unidentified men she says yanked her out of a car and stole her purse, along with purses of two other young women she was with.
One woman later told police she let a friend out at a housing project where she said she wanted to buy drugs. According to a police report we’ve also put up, the driver said she was only taking another friend and Misty, who both wanted to score.
But her father denies she was part of the alleged drug buy gone wrong, and police say no illegal drugs were ever recovered from the car, or the women.
According to James Griffith, assistant chief of the Palatka Police Department, detectives will be hunting for Misty tonight to do more interviews in trying to identify the robbers. A preliminary investigation had to be cut short Monday night, he said, when the officers got another 911 call for an unrelated shooting and had to respond.

Misty is just mad because she was interrupted from buying her dumb drugs. Will they arrest her already force her to tell what happened to Haleigh. She is a monster with no heart how can she run around like nothing happened when she knows the truth. What a bitch!!!!!

My entire block got together and posted, yet not one was posted. All the post questioned things regarding the Police public addresses and deliberate bias on Police behalf, my block is 5 houses. This article is proof, Misty is not bright enough to pull this crime off. Ronald & Misty both said they had never seen the Cinder block had Police found prints & or DNA that matched either of them the Police would of had that all over first coast, you, Nancy, and the rest not to mention some really good grounds to bring her in. What I am getting at is this person who did this knew to wear gloves, knew how to handle things not to leave evidence. This person is comfortable moving around a home while some one is in it. IMO Misty simply and although she may be a nice person at heart & this incident does not reflect different. Misty just does not have what it would take to do this crime. I have never heard of someone calling 911 when being robbed during a drug deal, very odd group of people, why so much public attention? No way this girl committed this crime, IMO
God Bless Haleigh and all her Families

So that’s what Misty sounds like when she’s REALLY crying. Compare the two 911 calls. She has the details about her purse being stolen. None on Haleigh though, couldn’t even remember what she was wearing. She was sobbing over her purse & phone, but I never once heard that same fear & anger in her voice when she reported Haleigh missing. Pathetic. And her dad said she wasn’t involved in a drug deal? OK..same guy who reported 140 of his pills stolen. And then there was the police report of his son in law trying to kill him. This is the same man that just said he hadn’t spoken to his daughter in over a month. I’d love to hear his version of the Bonnie & Clyde act his wife & son pulled. This has to be a new one…how many Croslin’s can file police reports on bad drug deals? What luck they have. But at least Hank can still collect that unemployment check while in a wheelchair. If they can go out & look for drugs they need to get up off their asses & go out & help look for Haleigh.
October 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pm
When will the police arrest this dumb dope head ?
I mean can’t they take her in for SOMETHING and then really get to the bottom of the Haleigh mystery through some serious interrogation? I’d like to see Croslin after 5 minutes with Nancy Grace.

Misty sounds like a lost little girl on this 911 call. she is starving for attention!! I do hope that if she knows anything she starts talking soon. From the beginning of this I thought she knew what happened and I still believe she is covering for Ronald. Well she needs to throw him to the wolves like he did to her…
October 21st, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Funny how she didn’t seem to work up that much emotion the morning of Feb 10th. Guess now they can compare her REAL emotions (for herself, of course) to her CYA emotions.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Hey Art,
We want to see photos, surley some were taken at the hospital for evidence, just in case the robbers are caught.
Once again, with her face and name being well-known in that area, does she think that she can revisit her old stomping grounds with so much ease and pick up where she left off?
October 21st, 2009 at 8:48 pm
This 911 call compared to the 911 call when Haleigh went missing: Misty seems more scared that she just lost her purse, than she was when Haleigh went missing! Pathetic!! Great reporting ART!! Hopefully she is found soon! Also, does “all black” sound familiar?!?! (black man in black)
October 21st, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Wow, the sad thing is….she sounds more upset about being jumped and having her purse stolen than she did when Haleigh went missing….MY OPPINION ONLY!
Art keep up the good work!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:50 pm
I mean she sounded more upset during the 911 call now than she did on the 911 call earlier when Haleigh went missing just to clarify things haha.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Hey Art, the police report isnt working……oh and I see Misty figured out how to call 911 without Ronald telling her too when her life was in danger…..

BOO–just checked, it’s working. but you have to click it once, then go to the next page and click it again. when it comes up, to get to the second page, to the bottom and follow the arrows. thanks…art
October 21st, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Well, KARMA is a BITCH!Look 2 different stories in less then two minutes! Was her friend getting in the car or out of the car?And we know the only reason you go to RAGSDALE is you live there or you go there to buy drugs.And one girl addmited they went there to buy drugs.So are you telling me no charges can be filed BS.A woman was taken to jail the other day and charged with 2 counts of battery when known drug addicts attacked her cause she called the cops when she saw someone digging something up in the yard of the “jailhouse letter”,which was raided last friday night.They left came back with more people and attacked her and she didn’t fight back cause she knew the cops were on the way and she ended up in jail anyway.And the officer said I quote”I will Take EVERYONE to jail from now on cause we are tired of come out here.”So that is why people are afraid to talk why should they.We have some officers that are great and some that are here only for the check.By the way the owner of the property was still in jail at the time.So where is Misty’s charges?

cc no drugs found, no evidence. Art
October 21st, 2009 at 10:24 pm
While listening to Misty cry while talking to 9-11 on the phone I couldn’t help but think how different her “crying” was from the night she called 9-11 about Haleigh. You certainly can tell the difference in her faking shock on the night Haleigh disappeared from the real hurt she felt from being robbed. Hey Misty, if you think YOU were terrified by being thrown out of a moving car and having your purse stolen,just think how terrified poor Haleigh was !!!!!!!
October 21st, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Makes you think that this young helpless individual has been cut completly off from the herd leaving her vulnerable to all the predators out there. I wonder what person(s) staged the whole thing in order to get Misty’s cell phone to track her calls and since she has been found guily in the eyes of the media why not punish her by knocking her around. A few armchair detectives and wild eyed media personalities are going to see to it that this girl is hurt bad before they are done with her. Guilty, who knows, but doesn’t she deserve to be innocent until she goes to trial?
——–
EDIE: Absolutely right and needs to be reiterated, she has not been charged with anything, nor has anyone else in the case, but as someone police publically discuss and the last one to see Haleigh, she is certainly newsworthy, and worth tracking closely, as is much of her family, current and exes…Art
October 21st, 2009 at 11:11 pm
Misty is eventually going to be arrested on drug charges. You play with fire long enough and you are gonna get burned.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
This doesn’t make any sense to me…Misty caught at a drug community buying drugs, then calls 911 to report she was injured..She wasn’t busted since no drugs were found on her person…Isn’t this what Narcs do to keep from going to jail?
LE sends a person to buy drugs from a dealer, and are wired, with money, to make the sale…Were any of the girls wired? Whose monies were used to buy the drugs? Yes, I know no one was charged in Misty’s latest drama. She claims she was there to visit a friend.. A friend in the projects???? I don’t believe the story…Misty is not in jail for a reason, and the theory I have given is as plausible as any I have heard…It’s also possible Ron is not in jail for the same reason…We won’t know if this theory is true, since it is an undercover operation..I just find it odd Misty would be at the projects buying drugs, then call 911 for her injures..Surely she knew if she and her friends scored they would be caught..
IMO
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:14 am
Unfortunately this young girl is going to end up dead either by overdosing or at the hands of others with whom she chooses to associate with. We may never know the truth about what happened to Haleigh if Misty is allowed to run loose with these questionable characters but I have a suspicion Haleigh was thrown into a dumpsite and will never be recovered.
Misty is a 17 year old without an anchor or a future. The latest contretemps does not bode well. This is surely going to be an unhappy ending for all involved.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:25 am
funny how they ony attacked after her friend walked back, karma! gotta love her.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:29 am
sounds like the same dispatcher too LOL
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:40 am
Her demeanor in this 911 call is totally different than the other one, same dispatcher too I think. I can’t wait till this one plays out! This girl is nothing but trouble! Seems like every single week there is something new in the news with her, maybe she needs her own reality tv show LOL! These people are nothing but pure trashy drug dealers including RON and I think his EX whom he had Ron Jr with should have the kid, she seems more stable and drug free.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:41 am
Listening To Misty Call 911 Crying Being Jumped And Robed Her purse. it makes me wonder -she said Haleigh Went Missing At 3.ooO’clock a.m.At 3.27 Ronald Cummings Haleigh Daddy Get Home so sad,And Misty Waited for ronald to call 911 i just dont get this story tell changes from misty…. her purse come first. one of those girl admitted there where there to buy D.R.U.G. and no arrests.
October 22nd, 2009 at 7:53 am
I can’t believe police botched this opportunity to squeeze Misty.
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
She seems to be in a great deal of pain, which would explain the difference between the 911 call about Haleigh and this one. Sounds like she had a broken bone, ” I can’t move it”. Art do you know what her injuries were? She seems to also be very upset about being brought to an unsafe place. Misty doesn’t even know where she is. Since no drugs were found in the car or on the girls who were in the car maybe they did not know anything about the other girl(the one who was out of the car)trying to buy drugs. This young girl needs someone in her life who cares for her and who will help her. A responsible adult who can give her guidance.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:00 am
She is a joke.She needs to tell where this prescious baby is, so if she is dead she caan have a proper burial. God Bless you Kaleigh.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:06 am
We have a child missing; Her name is Haleigh Ann-marie Cummings. In the interest of just locating her not yet known what kind of justice that should be rendered but I hope it is the max. I believe if LE has a problem with her and feels she knows what happened to this angel then she has to be under the microscope. The rest of the family as well.
My heart is very heavy today as we learn that Somer Thompson was found murdered and disposed like a peice of garbage. I know this has to be hard on her family. You could see the despair. They at least know she is with God; not that it will stop their grief, but at least they know where she is.
Today is also the day Ron and his mom are on Maury Povich. It will be on at 11:00am here on the east coast. I hear it is one of the missing children episodes.
Please someone tell where Haleigh Cummings is and if anyone knows where Adji may be or what happened to him please tell authorities. These babies need to come home.
Thank you Art and to the many others looking for Haleigh.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:52 am
Wow, to finally hear Misty on a 911 call where she is upset. She didn’t even sound close to that when she couldn’t find Haliegh. She discusts me.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:29 am
Sure would be interesting to know who’s cell phone plan Misty is on.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:17 am
Has the landfill where Satsuma’s garbage is taken been checked, months ago, I hope??
To purchase is to “buy”, as in buy drugs, not “by” drugs. Scary officer grammar in report…
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:23 am
The others are right..she does sound way more upset in this 911 call than when she called about Haleigh. I do have a certain amount of sympathy for Misty, because I come from a similar background. But at some point you have to take responsibility for yourself and decide you want a better life. Misty knows her every move is being reported by the media, yet she still pulls stupid stunts like this one. Misty, if you want people to believe your story, clean your act up.
October 22nd, 2009 at 11:53 am
like the way the dispatcher says
“RAGDALE?”-like she saying
WELL WHAT DO YOU EXPECT AT RAGSDALE?
Why is this emotion more real then a missing child, shes crying over a damn purse, id and cell phone.
GUILTY B!TCH
Art, you should post BOTH 911 calls just for contrast in emotion.
————–
Nun–great idea. i think we did post the first one, but you gotta hunt it down. Art
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Their were no drugs because they got ripped off. I guess misty hasn’t learned to stop during drugs now that she doesn’t have Ron getting them for her. Cop don’t need her cell phone to see who she is calling. Misty karma will keep coming to you learn how to tell the truth. Haleigh deserves that from you. And to you edie Says I say Haleigh deserve that but did not get it. JMo karma TO MISTY
Sorry her purse being taken and arm being hurt made you cry more then a missing Haleigh
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:33 pm
is Misty really posing for a magazine on her 18th birthday?
I won’t make a birthday suit joke.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Sad reading about Somer today.
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:51 pm
MY HEART GOES OUT TO SOMER’S FAMILY. DID THE PUTNAM COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT FOLLOW DUMPSTERS AND GO IN LANDFILLS FOR HALEIGH?
October 22nd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
everyone from palatka knows ragsdale is for one purpose DRUGS! sheesh thats prolly where she scored them for the infamous party where haleigh ingested them and died. i think it its just a matter of time before misty really screws up and gets caught. a person like that cannot keep up her guard 100% of the time. especially when we all know she’s got detecitves following her. how can she not know they are. oh here let me go buy drugs. im only a suspect in a missing child case. no one will know. sheesh those dudes prolly jumped her because they know she did it too!
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:02 pm
OMFG! Cry us a river MISTY, why don’t you!!! The call to the police for Haleigh sure didn’t sound like that! I hope her arm and leg are broken! Karma is a bitch and she WILL get hers! Maybe just maybe there will be something good in that purse or on that phone!?! Maybe that’s why she was so “scared”? So whoever stole her purse and phone should be nosy and look in it LOL I would! She said everything she owns is in there! Totally worth a try as far as I am concerned! I pray for lil Haleigh bug and her safe return. This story has touched my heart from the start. Please SOMEONE give out some info to find this sweet baby girl! Praying for the family as well, you guys are SO STRONG!! My god be with you all in this difficult time! Keep up the good work Art!
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:44 pm
…then ‘THE AP’ reported again…
Somethin’ ’bout a recliner that gave me a laugh.
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Art, When I was watching Nancy Grace last night,did I hear right that Ron said he was not aware of Misty useing drugs and also she did not use drugs when she was living at his home? If that is so.YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Now I no he has to be lying about that one.As far as I remember Crystal said Ron made her use drugs when she was living with him.He is such a big fat liar.I still believe he knows more about what happened to Haleigh. I like the information you provide when you are on NG.
—————
Pam–LE tells me they know everyone is lying on all sides of the families about different things, including whacko bloggers they say who do nothing but pass unconfirmed rumors and make up stuff about them (and us and others). Unfortunately, they have to waste valuable resources to check out these bogus tips that are like yelling fire in a theater. but rue the day they nail the false tipsters, like one who claimed he saw Haleigh with someone up North when cops found photos, pix and witnesses putting that someone in Satsuma. Art
October 22nd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
With all the drug activity before and after Hailey went missing, I’m just wondering if the child was sold for drugs. It happens.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:04 pm
That didn’t sound like Misty on the 911 call that sounded like one of her friends.It sounded like Misty was in the background talking to the girl on the phone to the 911 lady.
October 22nd, 2009 at 6:29 pm
I am sorry don’t believe this story at all. Thank-you for the 911 call and also the police report, you I believe, Misty’s story is questionable.
October 22nd, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Edie, I thought along the same lines initially, except I thought (before actually hearing the 911 call)that she made up story to have an excuse for a missing cell phone so she didn thave to turn over phone records!!! but it seems from the call she was pretty upset so maybe you are right and someone did it to get the records themselves.
Art, where is Cobra? has his been working on this case?I miss the stories with him in them thanks!:-)
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 am
This girl is just putting herself into more bad situations.
She will end up dead before we can ever find out the truth about Haleigh if she keeps it up.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 am
WOW- What a difference in demenor and I think she was set-up totally. For gosh sakes she is freak’n out and it’s only a Purse, Cell phone ummm.. Now I am really more upset as I do think she had something to do with Haleigh missing and We have all be fooled by a 17 yr old & I know the Police are working hard on this case but once again-Can’t they arrest her yet-Why does she keep slipping though there hands? Soon or later she is bound to slip-up again but Geez, this is crazy.
She doesn’t work or do anything constructive. How the heck does she live or feed herself or put gas in her Car. Is she a Whore for money? She has a Car, right? Does she have Insurance? Does she even have a License to drive, Who is paying her way in Life? Come on I am getting tired of waiting for them to just say “HEY” enough is enough already-Start yapping, We want the truth cause from listening to that 911 call, Oh it is so obvious the lies she has told and keeps getting away. I just don’t like it.
I want Haleigh to come home. And sick hearing about How Misty is running all over town and getting to pull crap like this and walk away. UGH!!
Please Someone Help Haleigh, If you know something call the Police dept-PLEASE. Let’s get her Home with her Family and Let’s stop all this. I am just so sick to my stomach after hearing this 911 call and How fake Misty has been for the last 7-8 months on Why Haleigh is even missing. Just call!!
Thank You again, Art & Nancy Grace and Everyone else who is trying so hard to Show that this Incident is not what it seems.
Misty if you do read these: Please just come clean, Go talk so someone, Make a deal. Tell them all you know.
Your Life and Your Soul & Mind will be set free of all the Negative thoughts and Nightmares.
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:49 am
this 911 call and the 911 call when HaLeigh went missing will be used in the courts, when the time is right
just like casey anthony calling 911 when protesters were outside her house, she sure could call then, but not when her daughter was missing for 31 days
misty said, in this 911 call,,,,,”’they took everything””
yet there was no urgency when she called 911 when HaLeigh went missing
too much in those two calls to compare,,,
October 23rd, 2009 at 7:55 am
Art, I am wondering if Putnam LE searched the dump like the Clay co. sheriffs office did in the case of Somer Thompson? A dumpster was hit on by the dogs at the time. Call me curious….
==============
joe–
great question. in fact, just off the phone with a top task force insider who tells me that, as I reported, one of the first things they did was the first day seize and search all the dumpsters in the county, searched the dumps using people and dogs and set up teams that screened every delivery to the dumps and landfills in the county. it was thorough,immediate and systematic, according to the LE officials who gave the orders. And because it was set up right, they can rule out one place that Haleigh was not placed–the dumps, unlke Clay County.
Ironically, the Clay County officer who came forward with the idea to search there — and was praised for finding somer –sat in on the PCSD seminar and asked lots of good questions. “We’d like to think because of the way we ran our search for our missing child, Haleigh, and sharing it, the body of another child was found, which should lead to the capture of the killer.” Had the quick thinking Clay County officer not suggested it, no telling what would have happened the evidence as more garbage got pilled on top and the body decomposed. Might never have been found. So something positive has come from the Haleigh investigation and its hard working teams deserve a little more credit than some give them. But they are open to not being right and trying other things once they can rule out Misty. For now she remains at the top of their list and the main focus because “she just can’t tell the truth, and has told so many stories we can’t take her off the list,” one source tells me.==art
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I also find it interesting that she sounds much more upset in this 911 call than she did in the one about Haleigh. Maybe it is because she was physically hurt?
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:05 pm
This episode sounds very much like a set up to me as well, Misty duped again. If you listen to the 911 call you can hear Misty has no clue where she is. The girl Brandy first says she doesn’t know then provides the location information it is her voice saying across the street from a church and the Ragsdale Community information. Towards the middle of the 911 call you can hear Misty asking Brandy “Why would you bring me to a this place if someone’s gonna rob me dude”
I find it highly suspect that Melinda was later found in one of the apartments in the complex. If these young women were robbed and threatened with a gun I would think that anyone of them would not want to stay in the vicinity. This leads me to believe that the “unknown man” whom Melinda gave money to and got out of the car looking for is not unknown to at Melinda at all (possibly Brandy as well). The 2-3 assailants were likely tipped off (by the “Unknown man” or Melinda) to the fact that Misty and Brandy were waiting in the car and the robbery took place. My instinct tells me that this was a set up. Whether this was just a setup for a general robbery/rip off or a calculated attack on Misty Croslin, I am not sure
BTW, her crying in this 911 call is different, so are the circumstances,she is INJURED.
October 23rd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
I still want to know:
How someone “unemployed”, “uneducated”, “un-homed”, “un-realistic” and obviously in no great rush to get educated, employed, and get REAL, can afford to run the roads, and buy drugs off the street?
She can run, along with two friends into the deep ghettos of the dark looking for dope, but can’t be bothered to look for the “step”-kid she LOST!
How can one have faith in her?
How can one have any belief in her?
How can anyone believe she has no share in the guilt of all this, that she is NOT guilty, whether proven in a court of law or not, or that she should be entitled to be “babied” any further by anyone, anymore.
Time to grow up and face the music!
That, or a good, swift kick in the -ss from Dad!
Enough already!
Still keeping you close in my heart and thoughts Haleigh!
God bless you little “bug”!
God Speed!

October 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I’m curious why attorneys for both Ron and Crystal have not demanded that both parents…and including live-in care givers are not required to do weekly drug testing as a basis for having/continuing custody of the children. Especially with their backgrounds.
=============
ll==GREAT idea. How would they do that? what if both fear results? art
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Hi Art…
Have left replys on several threads and they are all still in moderation. What gives?
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:30 pm
I agree with Poly’s statement, that Misty seemed much more upset on this latest 911 call. I know she hasn’t been charges with anything, but I sure hope that she will be under close survelience until little Haliegh is found, along with all the other members of the Cummings family. I watched the mother today that just lost her young daughter. It was totally different from the way the Cummings acted. I think they know what happened and just hope the interest soon fades. I hope it never does. Someone needs to be brought to justice for this, most likely, murder.
October 24th, 2009 at 10:09 am
Why don’t the LE just go and arrest Misty and make her talk??? That would be too easy. LE can’t arrest her without probable cause, they do not have a crime scene other than what they found at the trailer. They can’t prove or disprove if Haleigh is alive. No body has been found, or probably ever will be found unless one of those white trash dopers grows a conscious and talks. Misty (and most likely Ronald) both know what happened, I do believe Misty will cover for Ronald as long as it takes just to keep her butt out of prison. I have sensed from day one they both know what happened to Haleigh. She was probably disposed of long before Ronald went to work and for all we know somewhere close to his worksite. I think the whole bunch should be rounded up and locked away in a room for a few days with no cigarettes, drugs,alcohol or A/C and one publicly open toilet….. somebody will soon start sqealing like a pig!
October 24th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Yes, 911 call was much more genuine than the call Misty placed to report Haleigh was missing.
Did anyone notice the confidence she exuded when the lady called & reported the road rage incident? That entire scenario was obviously set up.
Point being, she knew the entire scenario was bogus and exuded a confidence that was not present when being questioned about Haleigh.
I still theorize that she wasn’t home when the child was abducted and is so afraid of Ron Cummings that she’ll never crack.
October 24th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
If/when this finds its way to trial the state will have a hay day with Misty as it would appear we all know how she sounds when she is actually upset. Certainly a far cry from her demeanor when Haleigh disappeared. I hope whoever got her purse and phone turn the phone over to LE. It may well hold information which could help this case.
The more this young lady acts out the more opportunities there are for LE to learn her true character. She is a far cry from the “innocent” little 16 year old babysitter she portrayed herself to be back in Feb.
October 24th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
The last two days have been heart breaking!! Somer Thompson and now Elizabeth Olten. They are now home with the Lord. These little angels need their Justice!!! My heart goes out to these families.
It is now time for Haleigh! God knows what she has endured!! Someone needs to come forward!!! Misty if it is you. SPEAK UP!!!! This is wrong! BRING HALEIGH HOME!!
October 24th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Brande #51 Poster, I donot agree with you. While Misty only cried tears for herself when she thought she was going to be arrested in the beginning, I have NEVER seen a MAN as BROKE up as Ron the day after, and even weeks after her disappearance. Crystal was in complete shock and denial. I have been through tragic things myself with my kids. My son was killed as the result of his wife pulling the plug before even 48 hours had passed when her family told her she could get 3 million dollars to sue, because the kid that was driving came from a wealthy family. My Son was squeezing my hand with tears running down his cheeks, but I was told that I was on ly the MOMand had no legal rights. My Son was getting ready to divorce her. She was a serial cheater and would not stop boozing and drugs. He had had enough of it. To watch her have him UNplugged in fron to of us, ….theres no words. He was only 22 . Soooo, what I am saying, is everyone acts different. I was on Tranquilizers so I could make it through because they though I was going to have a stroke. Almost lost my 19 year old daughter too. MONEY and DRUGS are involved with Misty every step of the way. She’s NOT FOOLING anyone at all.
I just wanted to say Ron & Crystal have cried rivers of sorrowo and anguish. Really, there are no human words on earth to describe their terror. Misty, does not have a concious at all. She is a true socio-path.
She may have been good to her cousins kids while babysitting, but she had them to answer to . They werent away at work all night long AND SHE WASN’T PISSED OFF AT THEM. Its a different scenerio with her attitude towards Ron and the Kids…. …. COMPASSIOn FOR RON JR. IS NOT IN HER. HE MISSES HIS SISSY AND IS TERRIFIED THAT THE BOOGEYMAN IS COMING FOR HIM NEXT. AND MISTY SLAPS HIM ? That BABY BOY needs LOVE and lots of HUGS and to stay the HECK AWAY FROM MISTY. She is a MESS. Anybody can FAKE liking kids. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. I have both a Medical background and a Elementary School Background. I worked at the school for more than 13 years and have just about seen it all. Thankfully not a missing child though.
Haleigh, we carry you in our hearts and think of you all the time. I feel so bad for you Ron and Crystal too.
Art, whats going on with COBRA ? I MISS COBRA’S INPUT.
Thanks, take care ART.

Wanted to say, all of the above is just in my own personal opinion. And in this case, boy do I have ALOT of it, as well as everybody eles.
Also, ART you are doing a Fantastic job of reporting the FACTS and staying on top of everything. Thanks, for all your hard work Art.
YOu have found a faithful follower in me. I go to your site 1st thing in the morning and again at night.

Debbie–Thanks for the kind words and support. Will be on NG tonight with an update. Cheers, Art

Her brother and her cousin JOE are also very suspicious….and the Man In Black. Just In my opinion that is.
Someones going to crack very soon.
October 24th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Re: Drug testing for Ron and Crystal. I have a friend who recently divorced who smoked pot on a daily basis. His 50/50 custody of the kids is contingent on having clean weekly drug tests. After a year and a half, he’s still clean. If they really love and care about their children, that is some serious incentive.

Lord help me, Lord help justice for Haleigh. I believe Tim Miller in his recent article…
As we all know Mr. Ronald Cummings and his mother were on teh Maury Polvich show. And as we all know to include Ms. Nancy that Ronald and his mother have been in her show numerous time. Of course uncontrollably sobing Ronald stated on the Maury Polvich show that Haleigh had heart, liver, and so many other problems in relation to her Turner Syndrome disorder. Ask NG or better yet review the previous shows where Ronald clearly stated that it wasn’t that serious and that Haleigh only took an inhaler, which was still there when she went missing“???? I do not care what LE or anyone else says but Tim Miller is correct and the family Cummings and Misty Croslin are 100% responsible for Haleigh missing. LE should be able to get a grip of their investigation and stop people making them look like fools. Orlando LE has and continues to react and solve cases without hesitant, which is unbeliealbe when you look at the way LE has handled the Haleigh case. Cadevor dogs scented the construction garbage bin, one can look at it and say we went through all the garbage, or one can say we searched it thoroughly that there is no thought in my mind that Haleighs body lies there. And, what about Ronalds work site. Everyone is a Suspect until their is closure to this case.
God Bless Haleigh, she has to surface and be found.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Just a thought, but maybe ‘city workers’ should get a little, more praise.
October 24th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
If people were just more honorable, in general.
For instance when my Cable and Internet service(s) went down for a couple of hours I had to call THEM to get my bill adjusted…even though it was a widespread outage and THEY knew.
It really should be automatic.
And…yeah, I could go on and on and usually do.
October 24th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Thank you Mr. Harris. Also myself and many others that I know wish to thank you for your coverage of the Haleigh case. Your efforts are appreciated far more than you realize I think.
Thanks

Edie, I thought along the same lines initially, except I thought (before actually hearing the 911 call)that she made up story to have an excuse for a missing cell phone so she didn thave to turn over phone records!!! but it seems from the call she was pretty upset so maybe you are right and someone did it to get the records themselves.
==========================================
how you figure that? You think Misty’s cell phone has information from last Feb when HaLeigh went missing? Don’t you think LE already has any cell phone records they need? If they don’t, they are flat out lazy. Any records they need from that long ago, they can obtain from her provide(s).
misty has all the reasons in the world to be scared and have fear in her voice. She is 17 and cut off from all her comforts. She freely speaks to AH, CBS, DB, TM et al. Misty spoke to LE for 6 months.
I believe Misty doesn’t know anything about who or where HaLeigh is at. She is too f’d up to cover for herself, Ron or anyone else. But it seems to bring comfort to many that Ron done something and Misty can do something about it.
LE saying MC holds the key might be their excuse for the unsolved crime. They can’t really know if she holds a key unless they know what she is allegedly withholding. And if they know what the key is, they should be able to work around her silence.

I’ve been following this case almost from the start…and Caylee Anthony before this..I got linked to the psychics who help w/missing children..they do alot of maping.. Didn’t the dogs also stop at the rail road tracks? It’s not that hard to hop on one at low speeds..If you follow where they lead..they go very close to the area that has been searched..My opinion is that they (close to Haleigh) first placed her in the dumpster..then realized how much evidence would come back at them..and took her to the jump the train and drop her in the river at the bridge ,(did they search that) or the landing off Brown..I think this whole family (both sides) and friends have way too many skeletons in their closets just waiting to get out… and they are all scared because it may implicate others and put them in jail, not to mention the “big wheels” that will come back at them far worse than a child disappearance…!!!! my opinion
——
Mary–
Pls go back and read my answers to others about the dumpster and the dogs; your theories have been thoroughly followed up by LE in the first 48 hours, with the dumpster checked several times, though, as many aren’t aware, it’s not right by the trailer but over a fence in a nearby subdivision that was under construction. To get there by car, you have to drive down the road and turn into the subdivision, or hop a fence…tough if you’re carrying a body, no?
As for the dogs, several dog teams went in several directions as I’ve reported and some stopped where you mention, others took off in other directions. So you can imagine the puzzled handlers…all this after sources tell me they let them smell the sheet used on Haleigh’s bed. Art

I think I got the ‘gist’ ‘or drift’ of the garbage thing on Carol’s site…
Sometimes I read too, much into things.
Mostly I use too, many commas, I guess.
Must be a way to ‘touch base’ with ‘Misty’s conscience.’
Yet, seems ‘forgiveness’ will only be for the devine.
What’s Jane been writing?
“The Huffington Post” seems a little ‘slanted’ in view.
Not bad, but not all good.
Waffles!!!!
October 25th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Seems we are too, ready to ‘jump the gun.’
Reminds me how’s the DNA daddy doing?
You just never know, lestat there’s some kind of real evidence.
Lestat (did I spell that right?).
Did I need the period after the paren and question mark?
“Do You Believe in Signs?”
I remember once-upon-a-time when ‘the media’ was goin’ for Stern…
Then suddenly “Silence Is Golden.”
So, for those who think, and those who judge…
Good Gosh…sure hope you have something that might ‘hold a candle’ in court.
Even OJ got away and ran that ball home it seems, and then don’t you know it…that hoot Al was in cahoots and it took more than one to tango.
And then that’s just ‘the picture’ presented to us morons…on tubes in living rooms…
Then of course…everyone chose a side and ‘stuck to their guns.’
Reminds me of my first line.
But the way it looks ‘Misty’ weren’t alone.
October 25th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Art.. I read the latest post on Misty’s 911 report and to say the least I was totally shocked. Why would anyone believe that she would not be hunting for drugs!! She was on a 3 day binge just before Haleigh came up missing. Druggies don”t stop just like that,and what kind of girl pals do they hang with? Birds of the feather!!! She may only be 17 in years but her milage is way up there. The croud she hangs with are street wise,and have no concience, if they did they couldn”t let a precious innocent child hang in the balance..I”m waiting for God to intervene,SOON!!
October 25th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Misty was the one the attackers went after here…is it possible this was a botched kidnapping by whomever else was involved with Haleigh’s disappearance…that Misty is covering for? It’s obvious by now to anyone who’s been following this case that Misty is covering for someone or several someones and possibly covering her own butt as well. Are they getting nervous that she may be about to crack and spill the beans? I really think there is more to this than just a drug deal gone bad.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I hope and pray every day that little Haleigh is found safe and still smiling … but what i dont understand is how are they (Ronald and Misty) getting all the money to do the things they are doing? I believe the Misty’s parents are in denial and I think the drug deal was staged. If Misty has all these friends that she is going off with then shouldnt she have told someone what happend by now? After looking at a myspace page, I have realized that Brandon Overstreet is Misty’s cousin and I think that he needs to be looked into. After reading comments, children seem to be fond of him and he does move around alot and he seems to where black alot. I dont see no Joe Overstreet anywhere. Could Joe be a cover up name to throw people off? I mean I understand there is a cousin that uses alias’ but I mean Joe is just way to common. and for Misty’s family to be believe her and be so close with her then where is her family while in search for Haleigh- not just her mom and dad? I just dont get it. Where is the air conditioner person that was at the home earlier that day that “supposidley” gave the kids a toy to play with that Misty had to fix? Ron was gone when he and the cousin was there, which mom stated in an interview she thinks its someone that knew Ron wasnt home. I mean the cousin left the same day Haleigh disappeared. What kind of person would leave when a child is missing and was at the home just hours before? I honestly dont believe Haleigh is in Florida, though because if she was the dogs wouldnt have lost her “trail”.Im not pointing fingers at anybody but I just dont get it.
Haleigh reminds me so much of my daughter and we just hope and pray that she is returned home safe with her family.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Misty’s 911 call is in stark contrast to her original.
The FBI has a LOT of study material on 911 calls and truth indicators. (FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin June 2009 Volume 77 Number 6).
I used some of the stats on the two articles on Misty (and balloon boys dad!)
http://seamusoriley.blogspot.com/
the prior one is Misty’s and the update is from today
October 26th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
The comparison betwen the two calls is relevant.
The newest one shows signs of being truthful, including voice modulation.
Her initial call, which showed her deepest concerns were that she was sleeping and the door was open (reported BEFORE the child!). This is an attempt to persuade, not to report or request help.
October 26th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I still can’t get over the cadaver dogs hitting on the dumpster near her home. Did they ever investigate the construction worker’s that were remodeling the home that required a dumpster? Maybe her body wasn’t there but someone could have thrown something in there that had the scent of decomposition on it. Also, Misty’s brothers’ story is questionable. If he was concerned about Misty and went to her house and knocked on the front door and she didn’t answer, the logical thing to do would be to go around to the back door. My theory is that Misty wasn’t home, left the children there, kept the back door unlocked so she could get back in before Ron got home, but her brother found the door unlocked, walked in and saw the children there without Misty, propped the back door open and took Haleigh. What vehicle was he driving when he went there? Could it have been the van with the scratch on it? Could he have been wearing black clothing that night?
October 26th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Tina (post #56) thats what Ive always wondered too, I mean about the dumpster, what was it that the dogs were hitting on? who had the items they hit on last? if it was a constuction crue where they investigated? In crime cases you cannot let one little thing slip you by or that could be your whole case!!! and I agree too about what you said about tommy why did he not check the back door? I think he didnt tell police initially because he didnt want to get his sister in trouble. But maybe there is mor eto it then we know, youve raised some excellent questions!!!

October 26th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Art, Misty's life is in danger, we believe. When Misty tells the truth on the one who took Haleigh's life and destroyed her little body, the killer will be at her doorstep or have someone there! Misty needs protection so that she can tell the truth. If Misty ends up dead, no one will be left to tell anything Thanks
October 27th, 2009 at 2:42 am
Give Misty 10 minutes on a waterboard with the Bush squad and we’ll know the whole, hairy truth about this case, Art.
October 27th, 2009 at 3:11 am
thanks for answering my questions…just a couple more if you could…if misty wahed the blanket because of a urine smell then surely she would have washed the sheet too..it must have smelled too..or she changed it..was this the sheet they used for the dogs? we see the videos of the trailor and bed but the blanket she washed is nowhere to be seen..or at least they have never shown it..they also show how the heavy door shuts by itself..how did misty know the screen door was propped open unless the heavy door was too..which misty says was locked..but there are no pry marks..she also said that Haleigh is afraid of the dark..then why were all the lights off..she said she was alerted when she saw the kitchen light on..i have a 9 year old and i always leave a light on just so we can see where we are going in case we wake up in the middle of the night,,and he is not afraid of the dark…i don’t know, they kept saying how she would never go outside by herself because it was so dark..then why would she leave the trailer pitch black…if i woke up at 3 something, with a light on, i would probably assume it was ron, since it was so close to him being home..after all, it only took her seconds to see the door, run back to check the kids, notice Haleigh missing, and ran to the front door to see ron, before she had a chance to call anyone…unless otherwise, i would think these are the inconsistances every one thinks about …thank again Art…
October 27th, 2009 at 5:39 am
her first call she said, I WAS SLEEPING< THE BACK DOOR WAS PROPPED OPEN WITH A BRICK< WE CANT FIND OUR LITTLE GIRL.
the I WAS ASLEEP-DOOR PROPPED OPEN was an attemped to persuade not report makes so much sence, i like the way you think #72, thanks Peter
So whats going to happen now in this case-is it going to go cold
October 27th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
JUST A THOUGHT…….WOW…SHE DIDN’T SEEM THAT UPSET WHEN SHE WAS REPOTING A MISSING CHILD! SHAME ON HER!
October 27th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
There’s a trailer directly across from the back door (the one that was propped open)..The people living there should have info on Misty and Ron’s activities, and possibly heard, and saw what went on the night/morning Haleigh was taken..Art, what have they told LE, if you know? I may have missed this info…thanks!
Elizabeth Olten, the 9 yr old who was murdered by a 15 yr old was found today in a wooded area that LE had searched numerous times.. Has LE researched the wooded area surrounding the Ronald’s trailer? Haleigh’s body could have been overlooked….possibly.

I was wrenching reading in your blog about the tragic loss of your son. So many times I’ve read that the loss of a child is the most difficult pain one can endure. I believe it!! As one parent to another, I wish you only the best. Your situation is a heartbreak. Do remember, it is okay to laugh. Your son will be laughing with you!

ART,
You made this statement: “LE tells me they know everyone is lying on all sides of the families about different things”
This is this statement is NOT correct. There are no lies being told by the Sheffield/Griffis family.
This statement will be sent to PCSO, to the detective that communicates with the Sheffield / Griffis family. I am sure he will be interested in your statement. As it is absolutely not true.
You only make trouble when you post statements like this.
————-
Whit:
First, pls send me the transcript to remind me exactly what you claim I said…
If you are correct, or close, then I’d ask you this: do you know everyone every member of the family deals with, or has ben talking to, from LE to a few web crazies, and what each has been saying (or writing in ultra private chat rooms) for the last 8 months? I didn’t think so…
So, here’s the deal: tell me which members of the family say it ain’t so, and have them call me…Always open to talking. They know if I have information from reliable sources, I may report it, unless it could hurt the investigation…and have always felt we have treated them fairly…even if it made others angry. I spoke with C the other day…and she knows everyone supports her as a grieving parent and prays for Haleigh’s safe return, Marie, too, and for the kidnapper to be brought to justice… Art
October 29th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
After I stopped laughing, I picked up something on that 911 call about the “black dude dressed in all black” was the one who allegedly took her purse and knocked her to the ground. Where have we heard the “black man dressed in black before”? OH, yes, that was what JR said that night that Haleigh was “taken”??? …..I have felt all along she was never abducted as I think that is the story Misty sings as she had to come up with a story LE and Ron would buy and keeping in terms of Casey and her crap stories that Caylee was abducted by a nanny, old honey pie thought that she too, could claim someone took Haleigh…the big question is and has always been, where? Where is this child’s body? I think it went to the landfill, but I of course have nothing to back me up, it is conjecture and if that was the case, the child will never be recovered and where ever she is….. Ron was the best that ever happened to her and while I can say he decided to smarten up and dump her sorry ass, he is not innocent in all of this either. He brought her into his children’s life because he digs little girls and in MI he would have been arrested months ago… as the age of consent in MI is 17 and she was 16 when they first hooked up and he fully expected this brain dead. drug loving twit to care for his young children so he is as guilty as she is. And he KNEW about her drug use and we all heard him blatantly lie to Nancy about that, that he did not know about her drug use is a pile of crap seeing as he has had drug possession charges himself???? And he knew she went on that toot days before Haleigh went missing, and “White Boy” described what they all did, Oxy and lots of sex!!So he is full of shit!!
October 30th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Ron’s mother stated on Nancy Grace approximately one month prior that she has or had a prescription for oxycontin. Nancy Grace did not further question Ron’s mother about this comment. Since there has been much speculation about Haleigh overdosing on oxycontin, I think it is important to know if LE interviewed Ron’s mother about her prescription, if Ron has ever used or stolen his mother’s prescription, and if Ron’s mother ever reported her prescription stolen with LE prior to Haleigh’s disappearance (a common practice when prescriptions are abused) or local pharmacies for a refill. It is relevant that Ron’s mother had a prescription for oxycontin, and I think it should be investigated further. Did you ever find out Ron, Misty, or their thug friend’s drug of choice during your interviews? This is of importance, especially with Misty’s latest report to LE about her being robbed over a drug deal gone wrong. You do great work Art, and I trust your abilities in finding out this information. IMO, there could be a connection with Misty, the oxycontin, and Ron and his mother standing by Misty’s obvious lies. Perhaps a cover-up for Misty while Haleigh was in Misty’s care. Misty could be holding this over Ron’s head, if indeed Haleigh overdosed on oxycontin obtained through Ron’s mother.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:41 am
Pam–LE tells me they know everyone is lying on all sides of the families about different things, including whacko bloggers they say who do nothing but pass unconfirmed rumors and make up stuff about them (and us and others). Unfortunately, they have to waste valuable resources to check out these bogus tips that are like yelling fire in a theater. but rue the day they nail the false tipsters, like one who claimed he saw Haleigh with someone up North when cops found photos, pix and witnesses putting that someone in Satsuma. Art
November 1st, 2009 at 9:40 pm
I know this sounds horrible, this entire event IS horrible, but I wonder if perhaps Misty thought being rid of one child who had ongoing health issues would make life easier, esp financially? Drugs aint cheap and with Ron being the sole bread winner supporting Misty and the remaining kids, plus their obvious tobacco habits, it just seems finances would be strained to say the least, and kids have been murdered for far less, just turn on the news or read the papers.
November 12th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I honestly think dumber than a rock Misty Croslin, knows exactly what happened to that baby. She is just not saying. What she has said is not much more than a bunch of fabricated lies. Now on the outside premise, she might have not been home and had left these small children unattended, I am sure she will not admit this. It would at least give the police a time line and something to follow through. Misty is not so dumb she can’t make up lies to cover her druggie ass. I’m incline to believe that she is an irresponsible little “dope attic” and cared more about scoring drugs and parties, than taking care of somebody’s else’s children!
