Haleigh Cummings Case: Ron Cummings Hires Attorneys, Allegations of Abuse, Misty Croslin is On Her Own
Samsuta, FL– The search for Haleigh Cummings, 5, has turned to a showdown between her parents. Inside sources from Putnam County have confirmed that Ronald Cummings has retained two attorneys to deflect the recent child abuse allegations lodged by Haleigh’s mother Crystal Sheffield.

On this evenings edition of Nancy Grace, where Ronald Cummings was scheduled to appear, it was announced that he declined to be on the show upon the advice of his attorneys.
The Law Office of Kimball & Snider in Palatka says it will represent Ronald Cummings on a pro bono basis. The PI practive says it will handle the media media requests and Ronald Cummings’ interests in matters involving a possible custody fight over his son. The Law Office of Kimball & Snider in Palatka says it will represent Ronald Cummings pro bono.
“The attorney and mother have appeared on national television to make unsubstantiated claims that Ronald Cummings sees as a ‘cheap shot’ and publicity stunt that detracts from the search for Haleigh,” wrote Kimball & Snider in a statement released to the media.
“The mother was previously denied custody in court and allegations of abuse against Ronald were judicially dismissed.”
The firm says Cummings a victim, who “needs and deserves legal advice and assistance in his quest for the safe return of his daughter.”
Dick Shauland, captain, Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is concerned these allegations take the focus off of finding Haleigh, who has been missing since February 9, 2009:
“Haleigh is the most important thing that we’ve got going with this, as far as a missing person. But, equally as important is the safety of her brother or any other child in Putnam County,”
“As DCF runs their investigation, we’ll run a parallel investigation with them and make a determination whether there’s anything to the accusations, and if so, if there’s anything criminal about it or whatever has to be done,” Schauland said.
Kim Picazio, a NY attorney representing Crystal Sheffield appeared on Nancy Grace without her client to discuss the alleged abuse photos.
“When a parent beats a child until the child is bloodied, that is a crime in this county and where I’m from and in New York City. Just because this is a small town, and just because this is Putnam County, there are still laws here that need to be adhered to. It’s legally and morally wrong, and he needs to be brought to justice,” Picazio said.
Through a Press Announcement Released by Kiball & Snider, PA, this afternoon; it is confirmed that their office WILL NOT represent Misty Croslin Cummings. Ron Cummings and his child bride were married one week ago today. The Pressr went on to say:
“Though Ronald Cummings stands by his wife, the firm “has decided it is best to only represent ronald and not Misty, because of their different respective legal positions.”
Phone calls to clarify what “different legal positions” means were not returned as of press time.

I think now is a very good time for Junior Cummings to go live with his REAL mother, Crystal Sheffield. Ronald has a wife to raise.
Why did Chrystal Sheffield wait until NOW to get into this? She needs to get off her butt and look for little Haleigh~ Nancy Grace made that
“fame seeking” atty. from New York look silly. What some people will do for 15 mins. of fame is amazing! Chrystal is/was into drugs (cocaine, meth, pot etc…) She doesn’t have a job. She has a new baby she needs to take care of…poor little Jr. needs lots of care and attention now. He KNOWS Haleigh is gone, and misses her deeply.
Ronald’s Mother, Ms. Neves would NEVER, EVER allow Ronald to hurt her granchildren.
Chrystal also needs to learn about birth control. Children are expensive to raise, and she doesn’t even have a job! Guess she’s on Welfare…that’s the norm apparently.
I personally don’t think much of CS or any of these players for that matter. Whether abuse took place is anyones guess IMO. I do look at CS track record and am appauled that she does not have custody of her children. She is their mother, sorry but a father is not the same as a mother..no way no how. I also believe prior to Haleigh’s disappearance she had not seen her kids for 2 weeks…I couldn’t begin to imagine not seeing my children for 2 weeks. IF she suspected abuse which she obviously did since she photographed them, she still would not “check” on them more than 1 time in 2 weeks? Niether of these parents are much, that is for sure. It makes me sad, every ounce of it.

If you can believe it, I am keeping my comments to myself at the moment- I am that mad.
’nuff said, except God Bless Haleigh, I am praying for you and your brother.

If we all want Haleigh to reappear, give Crystal what she wants, full custody. Then after Haleigh comes home, throw Crystal in jail for felonious criminal mischief. Also fine her the full amount it has cost the county to search for Haleigh.
I’m willing to bet Crystal has everything to do with Haleigh’s kidnapping. Haleigh is probably deep in the Carolina’s with relatives.
If Crystal can be this vindictive to go after Ron at this time, then I wouldn’t put anything pass her.
I also have a inside source who searched for Haleigh on the first search. He said the “Jerry Springer” atmosphere was very thick. He felt like MOM seemed less interested in finding Haleigh and more interested in going after Ron. MOM wasn’t too happy about Ron’s new 17yo girlfriend and made no secret of this fact. Since there isn’t really any sign of force, blood, body fluids, I think Haleigh is okay.
She thinks she’s on vacation and she’s waiting for her family to come and take her home. This what my instincts tell me. I pray that I’m right.
I say, way to go Chrystal, Ron is abusive and I pity the teenagers that have gotten fooled by him, which of course is why he searches for teenage girls to Romance, they are too young to see him for what he is.
And I beg to differ, but Ms. Neves wouldnt admit to any wrongdoing by Ronald if he popped her upside the head, she needs to stop babying him and allow him to get what he deserves.
I hope they do get Jr. out of his custody and into a better home before something happens to him too..
I guess Ronald married Mistie so when he gets ready to pop her too she cant call DCF on him…….
Come on people get real, take a long look at Ronald and tell me he dont have problems…………..
If you look closely at the picture you see a nose that is swollen bursing to the right and left of the bridge of the nose. Brusing goes to the upper left eye lid. Left eye is partially closed secondary to facial swelling on the left side, but there is no brusing under left or right eye. I would believe that this is secondary to a nasal fracture. Probably as a result from a fall from the monkey bars. The face is very vascular and it is obivious that she fell on her nose and left side of the face. They should have done a facial xray but nasal fractures are not always apparent initally on film. Sometimes not even after they heal, unless there is a deformity of the nose. Not all play ground monkey bars have the safety cushions necessary beneath monkey bars. Some kids have fractured their skulls from monkey bar falls. If there where any red flags the second visit to the ER the staff would have immediately written a report to DCF. They are legally required to do this. They would not have to inform the family at the time. It would not have to be written by a physician. Anyone who suspects child abuse in the ER can write this report.
Why is everyone jumping on a mother wanting her little boy safe? I am sorry but Ron getting married 30 days after his child was abducted should be a crime. How sick is that? Not only is this Predator marrying a child…..but marrying the very child that was irresponsible enough to have his daughter taken right under her nose? C’mon! But wait it is “innapropriate” for Crystal to be looking for custody? Innapropriate is a man that sleeps with little girls and marries one on the same day 100 officers are searching for clues and/or possibly the body of his missing child. He should be ashamed of himself. CREEP!
What can I say , the epitomy of so called trailer trash…so sad that these folks have appeared to been recently educated by the Anthony Family . The supposed socially aware Atty that Crystal “picked up” is on the same level as she and her family. What a shame. I am sorry but I truly believe the Ron Cummings is legitimate. If there are any bones to pick , perhaps one would want to look at the socio-economic aspects of folks such as this and the education sysytem .
This man Ron Cummings has a bad habit of picking up little girls and turning them into mothers. Every babymom he has says he was physically abusive to her. Just because he has a job and a drivers license does not make him a good parent. He calls himself a strict disciplinarian…RED FLAG. That is what the killer says after a child is found dead. Courts do not always make the right choice or even a good choice on physical custody. Let this woman get a good Florida att’y and see what the courts say this time around.
I hear you Blink!! The last time I was angry was when Geraldo went there and put most of this in motion. I really hate to give him so much credit but he did “stir the pot” and then continued to interview and call Crystal dear and sweetie and stroking her to do more against Ron. Heck IMO, Crystal probably LOVES geraldo and thinks he LOVES her back! Naive people. Oh , and lazy as well.
And Now this! Miss Crystal better watch her step because these services may just take the boy away from them BOTH!! Wouldn’t that be nice Kim Picazio???? Rip a child away from the only real family he knows??? When he misses his sister and is scared???
Where would Crystal take this boy? She has no home and has had adequate time to acquire one. Whats it been? 4 years!! No job??
Ahhhh, but she does have another baby. Maybe someone should check on that one because Crystal hasn’t been mothering that one either!!
Hey, “summa cum laude” Picazio….If maligning a grieving parent in the press is your idea of handling the media then you stink BIG TIME!!
You state he “beat them bloody”???? DRAMA QUEEN You better have more proof than this as NG has already munched you for a snack.
Get ready for a law suit KIM
If abuse is proven this child should not go to either of these parents. The State should take him into protective custody where he may have a chance at an education and some self esteem. I question this woman motivation, and judgement. She has been away from MR.C since 2006 has she finish school? Does she have gainful employment? Has she gone through rehab? Mr. C has control, and relation ship issues that need counseling. A bit of education would also benifit him. Doesn’t say much for our educational system that these people slipped through the cracks. Mr. C is believable and you can see his pain.
Wow ! I see that her lawyer cleaned her white trash behind up…..Her story makes NO SENSE at all……nancy Grace really but the smack down on the laywer…..Talk anut typical WHITE TRAILER TRASH ! ANd they procreate…How scarey…One has to take a test to drive a car…but si sad to think any one with womb can bare a child….This while family is trash…..i feel so bad for these kids. The father im’m sorry to say has made a life out of getting involved with way to young women…Kids actually. I view him as a pedofile..Sorry….So this Crystal was what 14-15 when she popped this first little girl. WOW! I’m not buying one word this kid is saying……Its all about them right now and NOT THIS LITTLE GIRL……They all need the snot smacked out of them. I believe that the new teen mom wasn’t home. and she knows more then she is saying….Something has never been right here……i hope and pray the REAL TRUTH does come out and they find her alive and well…..But…….White trash is all they are and innoncent kids have to pay…Its not right
Ok something stinks in Florida AGAIN, I have no sympathy for ole Ronnie Boy, who in their right mind runs out and has a wedding when their child is missing? He is an A$$…JMO but I think he hurt that little girl before “he was at work” and he left the mess for Misty to clean up, hence the washing of the blankets? who washes the blankets after the children go to sleep, and covers them up later? The numerous variations of the story just dont add up and the great acting job on the 911 call from ole Papa Bear, to me just a little over the top, he did not know if she had been taken or if she wondered off…he immediately says he is going to Kill the MF’r come on…that doesnt happen…unless you are trying to cover your tracks and set the scene…hopefully this one doesnt take 6 months to figure out, and as quiet as the police are in this case I am certain they know a lot more then they are letting on…
Blink-
Glad I found this site. Wow. I saw this post before I got a chance to see NG, thanks for keeping us current, even if it is maddening what’s going on there. Pray for Haleigh
I agree dee, something stinks with this whole story. These kids need a guardian ad-liedem(sp) issued by the courts and fast.
I GUARANTEE you if someone told Nancy Grace those photos were of Caylee Anthony and that Casey was getting married she would go nuts!!! But since it is not….she is just passing it off as junk. I am a big fan of hers but disagree with her on this one. She for some CRAZY reason has chosen to side with a PEDOPHILE.
off topic, however…..leave the trailers out of this. what did a mobile home ever do to YOU? God pray for Haleigh and her brother but trash is trash no matter what color it is or where it resides. Judge people on their actions if you wish…not the socioeconomic situation they might be in….
I read the article and read the comments….. when is a mother ALWAYS the best parent? A lot of projection going on here. Ron has 2 children and their mother is Crystal. Crystal has popped another kid, no job and egged on by Geraldo with dollar signs in her eyes she is now claiming abuse and fighting for custody. Jees there is you trash media-whore money grabbing biotch. Lets leave color and trailer out of name calling
The posters who are out for Rons (the male) blood are driving the media focus of the child and onto the parents cat fight!
This is not the only section of the Country where people live in poverty, and have less education. I find it offensive when other use phrases to belittle a persons enviorment. That is not and should not be the focus here. That picture of HC looks like she had a nasal fracture from her fall not child abuse.
#20. They way these poeple live is a choice trailers and all. There is always a way out.
I believe Ron is enjoying all of the $$$$$$$$$$$$$
he is making off his missing child.
Yes Like Blink said, Pray for this child.
Ronald- Nice Tux on your wedding day you hillbilly.
I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon @ the Today Show.
why is everyone personally attacking the parents of haleigh? yes, they appear to be uneducated and from a lower socio-economic class. however, the truth is that something happened to haleigh. i believe misty knows what happened and is playing with the cops out of fear of ronald. we know he has abused former girlfriends. we know he has publicly stated during televised interviews that he knows the “correct” way to punish his children, per the instructions of family services. we know he works a job and financially supports his children. his personal life is a train wreck. however, haleigh is missing and that is what should remain the focus of this investigation. it is easy to personally criticize the individuals in this unfortunate drama. however, the truth must be found and the child needs to be located. i pray every day for her safe return.
IN response to comment #9. I agree that you could get some bad swelling from a fall however, the report from the school has been published from the day Haleigh fell and it simply states a scratch on her nose. Even if the bruising had not been immediate from the fall, injuries this serious would have produced more than just a scratch. There would have been swelling as well and the bruising would occur over a period of days. This photo according to Crystals attorney and also according to the timeline of visitation was taken on the 14th and the accident occurred on the 6th. THe Father brought Haleigh to the doc on the 12th, which was 6 days after the accident. It just does not add up. Please know I was in an abusive relationship for many years, and my ex was abusive to our children. It is my belief that if the report from school is accurate(the injury was a mere scratch after the fall) something else caused these injuries. There is no way she would not have had some swelling with bruising this severe. It is plausible though that the bruising could take many days to show up. I think this school report was published on Art Harris’s website.
Now, for those of you coming down on Crystal Sheffield for bringing this info to our attention: It would be a greater injustice if she had simply kept her mouth shut. If abuse is involved it changes the entire path of the investigation. Now I am not saying the father is involved in Haliehgs disappearance directly, but lets say he and Misty had a fight and it escalated and he hit her. Lets say that fight was over Haleigh. I will let you all fill in the rest. Just because Misty says this child was in bed at 8 does not mean this is true. She has lied so many times and that would mean her account of people being at the house could be lies as well. Who was there and what did she allow to happen. That is what I want to know. Where is this beautiful child? If this is found to be true, who then would fault this mother trying to get her child away from this dysfunction. Remember, that there are allegations of not only child abuse but battering as well. These are serious red flags that MUST be taken seriously.
I spelled little Haleighs name wrong in my message. Also I meant to say that Misty may be lying about her account that no one was at the house that evening.
We are all losing focus here. Where is Haleigh? If the cops are this close to the vest with information there has got to be alot we do not know at this time. No matter someone’s wealth/class we need to focus on the child who has no control over that matter. She is missing and we need her to be found.
We can focus on abuse later…..let’s find Haleigh. I wouldn’t have gotten married while my child was missing but perhaps there was a threat of statutory rape over his head and he wanted to just get that out of the way to focus on Haleigh….i don’t know. I just want this little girl found and not turn out to be like Caylee.
The abuse has got to be focused on unfortunately because it becomes a very different kind of investigation when we have Dad accused of child abuse and wife battering. I keep hearing the following phrase
“keep the focus on Haleigh.” Well in order to find this little girl, all avenues have to be pursued even if they make the public uncomfortable and force us to think “outside the box.” Ignoring blatant evidence will not bring Haleigh home anytime soon.
Do we seriously think it is just a coincidence that back in November this so called incident at school occurs(with the more likely possibilty that it was an abuse episode) now a few months later this child is missing!!!!!!!
I cannot tell you enough how irritating this is to me. There is foul play in this case.
Nancy Grace is a dis Grace on this one. She is defending a pedophile , a drug user, a child abuser. He admitted he spanks his kids with a stick and says DSS allows this kind of punishment and
apparently they did. Crystal reported him several times and he always came out smelling like a rose. Well, for all of you who think that makes him the true parent let me tell you this……A case I know personally over the past 20 years. A mother who had 5 kids. All by different fathers. Lived on welfare, raised her kids in hovels and I do mean hovels, filthy children , head lice, half the time no food , the other half living on junk food because she didn’t cook. Men abusing the children who were cold, hot, hungry, filthy, and neglected. What did Child Protective Services do? Called probably 15 or 20 times during this time period………DON’T WORRY, YOU’LL NOT LOSE YOUR KIDS. Pat answer every time. The mother began to brag about what a joke it was on the one who called on her.
Now, I’m sure we had some ditzy woman or some cold unfeeling man, come out to investigate the situation with Ron Cummings and because there is no place to put these kids and all the legalities involved, it was just easier to say : Unfounded!!!!!!!!!So when you’re downing Crystal, who suffers from battered woman syndrome big time, just remember that CPS could care less about “POOR” children. Only after they’re dead, do they stand up and make noises and I’m sure decorate the spot with stuffed animals and balloons to commemorate the life that couldn’t be saved. The laws have to be changed for our children.
MIMI- I would just wish to clarify I don’t consider Ron a pedophile and am hesitant to let your comment stand unedited, but as it is your opinion, I will. The age of consent is what it is in Fla, and I take that term very seriously as I have had the unfortunate experience of having to learn more about it while researching a case. It’s disgusting that he seems to like teenagers, I agree. I just dont want the definition of pedos diluted in any way. Thanks
Blink
This is in response to onepercenter: how would you feel about someone who “slept” through your child’s disappearance? I don’t think you’d like her either. No, a 17 year old shouldn’t have been shouldered with those responsibilities-but she chose to stay and this is all gonna come down on her. What a mess. As far as talking about Crystal’s arrest record-well look at Ron’s. Didn’t his include an assault charge? That’s a lot more worrisome than lieing.
It is my understanding that Crystal has straightened out her life, has a job, doesn’t use drugs, and has sought to regain custody of her children. She has also made complaints to the courts about Ron’s abuse of herself and of the children. Ron first took the children from her after she allowed him to take the children for a visit. I don’t know Florida law, but in California in such cases either parent has the right to take custody of the children and keep them until the court determines who gets custody. In this case, Ron got custody because Crystal had no job, therefore she could not support 5he children. Ron was not found to be the superior parent. It took awhile for Crystal to get her life straightened out, understandable since she was abused by Ron throughout their relationship. It seems to me that Ron only became interested in his children after Crystal left him, and he used them in attempts to get her to return to him. He has punished her for leaving him by taking the children from her. There is more than enough evidence to warrant a complete investigation of both Ron and Misty. This is not to divert attention from the search for Haleigh, but is normal procedure in cases of missing children. Police can search for the child and the possibility that she was abducted at the same time they investigate the father and stepmom, who were the last to see her.
I can’t for the life of me figure out where all this venom for Crystal comes from. SHE wasn’t there. The children were in Ron’s care and he chose Misty to be their caregiver. HE’S made a lot of really bad decisions and has a horrible past and present. Why are so many of you posters trying to make him out to be a loving father of the year? I wouldn’t let him or Misty babysit my dog. I’ve got no problem with a father having custody, just not this father. He seems like a manipulator of the courts and has somebody taking care of him. What happened to all of his charges? You are so quick to make excuses for him and yet condemn Crystal for so much less. I just hope the investigators are smarter than these people. Personally, I’m not sure Crystal deserves custody, but I am sure that Ron doesn’t. He has proven he can’t care for his children-in a BIG way.
I fell off the monkeybars in elementary school and I got scraped up good. Haleigh wounds look just like that and most people know that bruises usually always look worse after a day or two.
JMO Ron has made a lot of mistakes but I do believe that he didn’t slam Haleigh into the floor or on gravel and that he loves her very much and Haleigh doesn’t look like some of the abused children I have seen. She is healthy and most always happy looking. I see love between the father and daughter.
I’ve read and read these pages and pages of posts, on this site, and all the others, and can tell you one thing for certain…it’s not helping ANYONE for the same 5 or 6 posters to get on here and repeat the same tired bs over and over and over in defense of one or the other of the players here. Besides the fact that neither Ron,. nor Crystal deserve to have ANY children in their care, how ’bout asking some of the hard questions here? Has anyone here ever been around someone who’s been on a 3 day binge? I have, and I can tell you that when my little brother (and we’re from an upper class family in the suburbs) came home from one and finally laid his head down, Godzilla himself could have walked through his place, and he’d never have lifted his head. Do I think Misty’s telling the truth? No way. Do I think Ron’s “father of the year?” Hardly. Do I see a victim of long-standing abuse against Crystal? Well, since she couldn’t give ANY instances of said abuse, other than to say he smacked her in the back of the head once when she was pregnant, I seriously doubt it. Every single one of the 3 have (quite sadly) turned this tragedy into their own personal gain. Who actively seeks donations to help them “live in a town where their child disappeared?” Wouldn’t it have made more sense to live here while Haleigh was HERE??? Same to Ron…how can you look yourself in the mirror after seeking donations, when you won’t get off your a$$ and go to work, while also spending $400 on tattoos (for God’s sake) and engagement rings? Is there something keeping you from being able to WORK for that $? How ’bout you, Crystal? Misty? All 3 of you get in front of a camera, chain smoking one right after another, talking about how it’s all about Haleigh, when honestly, nothing the 3 of you are doing is helping Haleigh in any way – rather, it’s detracting from what’s truly important!! If you can’t bear the thought of not being here for Haleigh, then you shouldn’t have jetted off to NY – I don’t care of President Obama himself invited you. And you shouldn’t have lived 150 miles from your children. And to bring up the photos of Haleigh’s injuries now and insist on them being abuse, should get Kim dis-barred. I’ve read the school report, and it CLEARLY backs up the injuries Haleigh sustained…pure and simple. And she was taken to the ER the DAY THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED, AND AGAIN A WEEK LATER. The mud slinging is embarassing for all of you!
Lastly, it’s pretty common knowledge that LE closely follows these threads, and can (with a couple of keystrokes) pinpoint the exact location of each and every poster/IP address of anyone posting. How ’bout remembering that when the same ones of you keep posting the same crap over and over because you’re convinced you, and only you, know what’s truth?
God keep you safe, Haleigh.
So, I read your filibuster. Good Points. Some lost in the mire of blame. Particulary when you lump everyone into one category, and you profess yours is the right one.
A thought: if you feel people stating their opinion is not helping, how is your exactly? What is your suggestion? Because from where I sit, it would appear you took up your own “pages” to make people wrong for doing exactly what you did. How does that help Haleigh?
We are waiting. Enlighten us, please.
Blink
WOOOHOOOO, good observation there Blink, I totally agree with you!!! NONE of us CLAIM to know WHO did this..we all have our own OPINIONS!! And, for tomuchbsflying….who is from an UPPER class family in the SUBURBS….Guess your comment about your brother PROVES that even people from a GOOD home, NOT living in POVERTY can be druggies..it’s not just hillbillies from the south!!! I am from South Carolina & it sickens me, that so many ppl here on this site & others, that these ppl are being DOWN GRADED, because they are from the south!!! What do you call people from the rest of the country that do drugs & may not have much of an education??? Guess we ALL weren’t BLESSED TO BE BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON in our mouths…and be raised in a UPPER CLASS family & IN THE SUBURBS! As far as comments on the focus staying on Haleigh…I don’t think (MY OPINION) that anyone is taking the focus off of her, simply by speaking of ALLEGATIONS…every aspect of HALEIGH’S life has to be given attention to, it all could lead to what happened…INCLUDING if there was abuse!!!
If this happened to a mother with custody, then there are attacks on the father.
If this happens in the North, there are rarely references to what type of housing structure the person lives in.
If this happens to upper or upper/middle class then, the focus is most usually on an outside source.
It is sad that because, the parents live in a mobile home, have less income and education than most, but are doing the best they can to make a home—It did look very clean and neat inside and out, not trashy— that these people are called terms such as trash, trailer trash, and that Cobra has made a personal attack on Misty Croslin/Cummings by calling her vulgar names, is so sad.
What type of private investigator is he? How could he possibly be objective in this case, when it is apparent he hates this girl and at least Ron Cummings mother also.
He is strange in his actions and comment. They are way overboard and he said himself on his radio rant, the police deemed his accusations/report unfounded.
He can’t be out looking for Haleigh, if he is in a radio station or at Memaws.
*Sigh*
I hope Haleigh is okay and comes home safe very soon!
I also hope junior is getting the love and support he needs right now as well.
My heart goes out to both Haleigh and Junior.
HMM……if Cobra is on a radio show…he can’t be out looking for Haleigh!!!!!!!! WELL…….my insight is this (JMO) Nor could RONALD be out looking for HIS daughter while getting tatoos! I PRAY that Haleigh is found safe & brought home to both her parents…regardless of their feelings toward one another….and regardless to what ANY of us think of them, they both are human & love their children & they deserve peace! I pray also, that both of them, realize how very blessed they were when God gave these beautiful children to them & turn their lives around & give themselves to the Lord, for he is their only judge! It goes to show, we are lended these beautiful angels & God can take them from us, as fast as he gave them to us!!!
i pray for a better days for this family and hope that things gets resolved for them sooner or later ….but to say from my opinion who the hell gets marred while your kids missing are u insane i would be in the woods and hills whatever searching high and low for my kid i would not be out getting married and getting tattoos they are crazy …as far as the mom goes mabey she does want custody but who wouldnt thats her daughter and children deserve to be in the mothers reach and fathers to but not a father who give his child the ok for marring young kids …not only that i wouldnt leave a 17 yr old to watch my kids girlfriend boyfriend or not …and its sound funny how misty says the back door was always locked but just one night it opened and there was a brick i mean u would think someone knew how to unlock that door already or have a key …anyways regardless i hope god brings haleigh home and they can figure the living arrangments then not now
Iam definetly waiting too much bs flying…Please do enlighten us poor ole dumb hicks from the south…WTG BLINK…That was the most arogant,self-serving bs I have seen posted on here,Im so sorry if our posts or opinions bore you tmbsflying
Like i say Again, a picture does not lie, it mean more than a billions of word. this two ronald n misty is thinking they are going to get away with it wrong, they cant beat the system. and her stupidty, ronald mother Neves, how can she defend her daughter in-law Misty. when she been partying 3 days, than bang he go’s haleigh missing. something happen horrible in that house. they better get to the bottom of this. anyway if i was the law go ahead put the polygraph on Neves, i have a feeling she no’s nore than she already no’s i think ronald or misty told her something. and now she defending her son again. she aint a granmother you do not go against your first real inlaw daughter. crystall sheffield. also they was asking ronald which his mother Neves appear on the show Nancy Grace. i did not like it the way he said it. that crystall sheffield was never his wife. i notice when crystall name comes up he get upset. like when he was interview the first time, they ask where is the real mother haleigh lives. he got of wierd, and took him a while to answer where haleighs mom live at. every show i look at about ronald i can tell he been lying.
ok no 1 why are they not talking on nancy grace or any other new station about the little girl she is still missing what is going on yes I do think the dad and stepmom know and are involved its so sad all these children comming up missing what is going on in the world
according to http://www.jacksonville.com Ron Cummings has lost his job..

Have done some searching of SOR site for Tennessee and this is what I found. Looks similar to a facebook pic I saw that is SUPPOSED to be of this “Joe” character Misty is related to whom she “doesn’t trust”.
Think I got it…or wrong sexual deviant here?

I am having trouble linking back to the myspace…but here’s some info on Misty’s relatives if it hasn’t already been posted…if so, sorry for the duplicate!

oK…here’s the “Joe” myspace page that another site was talking about. Now that I take a closer look, the two cannot be the same…but I”m looking for “Joes” in TN that are sexual offenders. One of them has to be the right one! :>)
Misty was obviously being deceptive from the initial 911 call. From her first interview she seemed to be withholding the whole truth, you could tell by her body language, especially her eyes. I don’t know why many people are so hard on Crystal Sheffield, but I think she is trying to get custody because she sincerely fears for her son’s safety for a good reason, that seems pretty obvious. From the beginning of this investigation, it was televised that the door had to have been left open, right? There was no evidence of a break in from the outside???? I would get my children out of there as soon as I could if I could. Good luck Crystal
There’s little doubt in my mind that Ron Cummings is a drug
snitch, and well acquainted with other drug users. Misty is
a drug ho desperately seeking a “man” to care for her. All of
these characters are “trailer trash” whether the PC types on
site like the term or not; these are people who refuse to conform
to civilized standards like the rest of us. Low morals, negligible
education, violence, drug use and a complete lack of integrity
by nearly all the players. It’s sad that little Haleigh may have
lost her life simply because she was born into this hellish group
of misanthropes….I just hope the local police are dilligently
working their leads. Their silence is encouraging.
I am appalled at so many people, for so many reasons. First, for the media making a circus like atmosphere surrounding Haleigh Cummings disappearance. Secondly, for the shoddy forensic work performed by the crime unit involved in the Haleigh Cummings case. As a professional – I was appalled at how the crime scene was handled, how the blatant inconsistencies in stories were overlooked, how the media was allowed to exploit the circumstances. Since, I live in Florida and was tempted to drive up and take foot print samples, tear the door off its handles, test Misty Croslins hair follicles, pull the shoes off of every member of the family and test for soil samples, luminol the trailer, perform a dense voice transcription test of the original 911 call, pull the phone/cell history of every member of both families, impound the van, run a criminal check on Croslin and Cummings family members (all), bring in every police dog (corpse / noncorpse trackers) that could be found in South Florida. Last but not least process lie detector tests on each and every member of the families.
“Suffer the Children”
Look guys …. we are all frustrated. A child has been harmed and most likely murdered. There are two scenarios:
1) Ronald Cummings harmed his child. His grandmother, mother and/or
girlfriend carefully assisted in covering up the crime. I can
clearly envision his angst in her death while pleading to loved
ones he meant to do Haleigh no harm. They are complicit in the
cover up much as the same scenario in the Anthony case.
2) Misty Croslin stepped out that night with family or friends.
When she returned shortly before Ronald Cummings arrived from
work she fabricated her unbelievable alibi which is rife with
inconsistencies. Family members and friends may have
realized she was not at home and played a part in the
harm of Haleigh.
The 64 million dollar question: Which scenario? #1 or #2
Based upon all the information. Marriage, Grandmother visit that very evening, mysterious cinder block placement, Scenario #1 fits the bill, to a T.
Mary- with respect to Haleigh Ann Marie for what I am about to say about her Daddy- Ron Cummings is a lame excuse of a parent and gentleman. However, I do not believe he harmed Haleigh. But I believe he knows who did, and copping to that has no benefit to him. She is gone, he is not in prison, for him, he goes on. I believe Misty also knows, and she got a few nights in Glamville and some ice for her trouble. Rarely do I feel like smacking the chit out of someone, I would make an exception for her. Sorry Mom.
