*UPDATE at bottom of article*
Haleigh Cummings, the beaming kindergartner from Satsuma, Florida has been missing since early morning February 10, 2009. The Police have classified her case as abduction, although all foot-search teams have been called off.
New Developments
Originally stated by the minor-girlfriend-babysitter as the clothing Haleigh was last seen in, the FBI has confirmed that they have recovered the pink shirt described by Misty Croslin in her initial statements to Police. At press time, they are refusing to disclose where the shirt was found, and whether or not its recovery caused Texas Equusearch to pull out. I have spoken personally with several members on the search team for TES, who, as per their contract cannot go on record regarding the search. Admittedly I was troubled by their reports.
The latest round of discovery documents have been publicly released by the prosecution this morning.
Among the Bombshell developments in the case against Casey Anthony:
The ductape on Caylee’s skull matches the duct tape found on the gas cans in the Anthony shed.
Annie Downing Statement released.
A PINK T-shirt with the words Big Trouble Comes Small written on it, white shorts and pieces of a pull up, a stained Winnie the Pooh Blanket ,matching that of her nursery linens in the Anthony home.
“Duct tape appeared to be intentionally placed there.”.. Yuri Melich
UPDATE:
10am- NO fingerprints were found on the duct tape belonging to George, Cindy or Lee Anthony.
10:05am- excerpt from Annie Downing statement:
During Caylee’s 2nd birthday, Casey Anthony told Downing “Oh my God, this is supposed to be Caylee’s Day. I’m her mom. She’s not her mom,” in reference to Cindy Anthony helping Caylee open presents.
Downing also told investigators that she received a phone call from Lee Anthony in October after information had been made public about Casey telling another friend she could get some Xanex from her friend named Annie.
UPDATE 2:
10:40am- Excerpt from Annie Downing statement After Casey Anthony was released from jail once last year, Annie Downing visited Anthony several times at her home and spent the night once. Anthony told Downing, “when this is all said and done, I have so much to tell you,” Downing told investigators.
While Downing was visiting the Anthony home, Casey Anthony found Cindy Anthony on the computer using Casey’s email address and signing emails with Casey’s name. They argued about it, but Cindy Anthony told her daughter that “if this can find us Caylee, then you know I’m going to do whatever I can.” Anthony also eluded to the fact that her ex-fiancé Jesse Grund had a key to her car and “may have done something to it after it was abandoned,” the report said.
The two stopped being close friends around August 2007 because Downing found out that Anthony was a liar, the report said
During Caylee’s 2nd birthday, Casey Anthony told Downing “Oh my God, this is supposed to be Caylee’s Day. I’m her mom. She’s not her mom,” in reference to Cindy Anthony helping Caylee open presents.
Michelle Murphy, former roommate of Lee Anthony interview excerpt- In Feburary 2007, Casey Anthony allegedly had a miscarriage from a man named Brandon Snow. None of her friends, including Annie Downing or Murphy, believed this was true.
On two different occasions, Lee and George Anthony told Murphy that Cindy and George Anthony were considering getting custody of Caylee, the report said.
In March 2007, shortly after the alleged miscarriage, Anthony called Murphy and told her she was feeling “crazy” and was considering getting “herself committed,” the report said. Anthony had “imagined this life with Brandon [Snow] and that she was supposed to have this baby in October,” according to the report. In both Michelle Murphy and Annie Downing interviews, they mentioned they did not believe Casey had a miscarriage.
UPDATE 4:
11am- Caylee Anthony hyperventilated and asked for medication when she was notified that her daughter’s body had been found last December. According to the report.
Investigators have determined that Caylee died between June 16 and June 27, the report said. Detectives think that the body was stored in the trunk of Anthony’s Pontiac for a period of time, but was removed before June 27.
“Evidence on the body suggests that the child’s death was not accidental but an intentional act,” Detective Yuri Melich wrote Feb. 5. “As of this writing, there is nothing to suggest that anyone but Casey Anthony is responsible for the death and disposal of Caylee Anthony.”
UPDATE 5:
Numerous bones, including human teeth and animal bones. Several pieces of plastic bags. A pregnancy test. Discarded soda cans, A broken Winnie the Pooh helium balloon, Barbie doll legs, A disposable camera, A piece of “Henkel Consumer Adhesives” duct tape, the same kind found wrapped around the skull and attached to a gas can at the house.
UPDATE 6:
Following the execution of the Search warrant for the Anthony home on December 11, 2008, the following inventory report reflects what was seized:
Nine pair of women’s shoes from Casey Anthony’s closet
A white/red heart-shaped sticker backing with sticker removed that was found in a shoe box in Casey Anthony’s dresser.
A sheet for red heart-shaped stickers with the three remaining on the page found in a red folder in her dresser.
A sheet for multi-colored heart-shaped stickers in a black binder in her dresser.
Two white-rimmed plastic children’s sunglasses.
Two pair of children’s denim shorts — size 24M
Three denim children’s skorts – one 3T and two 24M
Miscellaneous doll clothing
Five pairs of children shoes
One black garbage bag found inside a suitcase in the garage area
Two handwritten notes from a chest in Caylee’s room
Some muscle-relaxers and anti-anxiety medications were taken from the master bathroom that were prescribed to Cindy Anthony.
UPDATE 7:
1:30PM According to the documents, the laundry bag found at the scene and at the Anthony’s are identical.
A Disturbing piece of evidence revealed a haunting journal entry by Casey:
“This is the happiest I have been in a very long time. I hope that my happiness will continue to grow.”
Casey also wrote that she had “no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgment and knew that I made the right decision. I just hope that the end justifies
the means. I just want to know what the future will hold for me. I guess I will soon see.”
Author’s Note, Am I the only person that sees the year ’03 written on the left hand of the page? I am not sure this entry fits. I would be more inclined to think this is a very old entry; pre MySpace era as she has done little writing but doodling hopeful boyfriend names.
Lee Anthony is NOT Caylee’s Father. One waits to see if Leonard will be willing to make his apologies this evening on Nancy Grace. I am certainly sitting by my bat phone as he owes me a fat, resounding “You were right!”
On Monday February 16, the State’s Attorney’s office released over 1000 pages of new discovery evidence to the defense. The public release is scheduled for mid week. I spoke exclusively to an inside source within the 9th Circuit offices, and was advised that the prints on the duct tape match that of Caylee’s Mother and the woman charged with her murder, Casey Marie Anthony.
There is little doubt given that finding the death penalty will be back on the table post haste.

Haleigh Cummings, 5, was abducted from her home in the evening hours of February 10. She was in the care of her Father’s 17 year old girlfriend, Misty Croslin while he was at work at his job as a crane operator in Patalak, FL. Mr. Cummings has taken a polygraph and has stated he has been cleared of involvement in his daughter’s disappearance. Cummings girlfriend has allegedly taken 2 polygraph tests by her own admission; although the reason she was administered 2 is unknown. According to Cummings:
“We have all offered to take lie detectors,” Cummings said of his family. He said “there was no reason to believe that he or his girlfriend failed them.”
Misty Croslin’s account of the evening of February 10 has come under intense scrutiny as it has changed several times to include other house guests and where both children were sleeping at the time.
Sheriff Jeff Hardy said Croslin took the test, but he would not discuss outcomes of any polygraphs. “Misty has been interviewed extensively,” Hardy said.
A review of available court records shows there is prior drug usage by both of Haleigh’s parents and seemed to be a significant factor in Mr. Cummings receiving primary custody of his two children.
There are 44 Registered Sex Offenders within a 5 mile radius of the Cummings mobile home on Green Lane in Satsuma, Putnam County.
“We’ve lost 56 positions in the last year, and we know any additional cuts are going to be in our key service area,” FDLE spokeswoman Heather Smith told WOKV. “Anything beyond this point is certainly going to have an effect on public safety.”
It seems in case after case we read how shocked people are when they review the registered sex offender listings in their area. WHY? As parents why don’t you know if your child is at risk?
It is required by law to have an online and searchable registered sex offender for each state.
The state by state listing is featured on the FBI website here.
The Dru Sodjin National Sex Offender Registry site is here.
For our children’s sake, as unpleasant as it is, take the time to search your area, review the pictures of the offenders and register for alert updates for anyone coming out of corrections or moving to your area. It is the best way to protect your children and minimize the risk to them.
