    well it s about time some one pulled his head out of his AZZZZZ

  2. Carol says:

    HOLY CRAP ~ Trouble in Paradise!! Is something coming down on Misty or what? I can only think of the Forest Gump Movie – Stupid is as Stupid does…(I might have that wrong!)

    Good Grief!

  3. Kleat says:

    dominos… a child never has a chance…

  4. Kleat says:

    Blink, do you have any information on this relatively ‘new’ girlfriend, travel companion, of Misty?

  5. geez, did someone finally hit Ronald in the head with a 2×4

  6. Chitown lady says:

    How about Ron never should have been playing around nor should he have married a 17 year old…….I sorta agree with #3 this is a whole family of Forest Gumps…..(please note her mom had NO TEETH)They are all just plain STUPID…dumb as a box of rocks….but then I might be insulting ROCKS! Why oh why didn’t the cops ever arrest this punk grown up wanta be? Her mom jailed….brother was jailed…..family moved like roaches in the night…she running around like she hasn’t a care in the world…..where is she getting the money? she has NO job….only one working was Ron for god sakes….What and the hell is wrong with her so lawyer? He is stupid too? This whole thing has been a joke on the police department. And to me the cops are really starting to look like a bunch of Barney Fife’s….They can not do their job….why hasn’t the FBI arrested this so called step mom?

    #2….has an excellent point…Perhaps his head is shoved too far up……

  7. PamTX says:

    Well, well, well….ol’ Ron stayed married just long enough to keep the media off his back about have “relations” with a minor. That marriage came quick on the heels of people pointing the finger at him regarding Misty’s “age” and the divorce just as quick when the dust settled down on that subject. I don’t believe that marriage had anything to do with anything other than Ron covering his butt (can I say “butt” here? — smiles)with “age” legalities. Just sayin’….

  8. Willie says:

    He has not filed for a divorce as of yet. Just announced that he would be seeking one in the near future.

  9. FairWitness says:

    Who the hell cares about Ron & the soon-to-be-ex Misty Cummings and their matrimonial ablutions? Where the heck is Haleigh? That’s the only thing that matters in this sad saga of trailer trash tripe.

    O boy, Fair is raging.

  10. FairWitness says:

    Well, Blink … I mean really… That was not a match made in Heaven, now was it? Ron married Misty just to avoid statutory rape laws? What the hell is that???? Never mind the underage witch is responsible for the disappearance and probable death of his 5 year old daughter. The boy just ain’t too bright.

    Fair- are you bucking for my closely held captain obvious award?

    Teasing :)

  11. FairWitness says:

    I am not informed about that particular honor, but if you’re of a mind to bestow such on me, I’ll graciously accept it. I have it coming.

    Good grief but this couple is odious, although watching NG live right now, I must admit Ronald is cleaned up and looks like a banker tonight. He must have someone else dressing him now. He looks normal and healthy. Maybe filing for divorce had an instantaneous positive effect on him.

  12. Gypsy DD says:

    Hmmm…what happened to keeping your friends close and your enemies closer Ron? I’d wait awhile before I pulled the divorce plug..err maybe I’d be looking for some pillow talk.

  13. cindeefromwisconsin says:

    I remember Ron making the statement regarding the marriage. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. At the time I thought that sucked that he said that but once everything was coming out I can see what and why he did it. Could he have hoped to gain her trust enough that she would slip up and tell him something?

  14. Fred McNeil says:

    I got into this on the Anthony case but on this one there so much less to go on. I can guess all day long but I can’t point to any possible scenario that would be any more likely than any other well thought out scenario. On this one … the evidence really is scarce.

  15. NancyS says:

    Has anyone actually seen these divorce papers filed?

    Is this another distraction? I would think if Ron did marry her to possibly gain her trust as I have considered myself (no other reason would make sense? to me)
    A lot of people I see discussing this case seem to think he married her to shut her up about him doing something to Haleigh himself (although they choose not to believe that Ron is the ONLY one that has an alibi)
    I am hoping that by him divorcing her (IF) he is telling us that he really is innocent of harming Haleigh and he really does not know what happened to her as if he did do something or knows something, I really dont think he would divorce her and give her a chance to get him put in jail from her age and anger at the divorce?
    MAYBE just MAYBE RON finally is to the point of FINDING HIS DAUGHTER AND BRINGING HER HOME>>>>>>>

  16. dee says:

    Fair, I think ths is one of the first steps in the right direction in getting to the thruth, remove the ball and chain, and then the muzzle from his mouth, and the blinders off the eyes, then LE might get somewhere..IMO

  17. Randy says:

    Just like someone posted earlier, stupid is as stupid does, thoughts and prayers for that little girl Haleigh but I do think her father really cares and wants his daughter back but I think he needs to go postal on Misty so she finally confess to either leaving the girl alone or putting that girl in harm ways or directly doing something to that precious little girl.

  18. kyrasmommy says:

    Ill have a second helping of that cooked goose plz

  19. Steph says:

    I am so shocked. I really thought this marriage would last.

  20. ScareyCarrie says:

    When are they going to quit making it about them and being media w@*%#s??? they are doing nothing more than diverting the much needed attention from HaLeigh to them, always! thats all they have been doing, a frickin parade of idiots! Man if we could just find her :(

  21. Steph says:

    Ok they are reporting on blogger news that Misty’s friend who is paying for her vacations away to Orlando is connected to a well known organization. Blink almighty, this organization wouldn’t happen to be kidfinders or the caylee marie anthony foundation? I hope not. Do you know anything about this?
    http://www.bloggernews.net/122540

    No, I dont. But I am positive someone is footing her bills and now her atty fees. I am seriously considering if this whole divorce thing is not some ruse.

  22. wpgmouse says:

    Blink and Steph

    From Monday night’s NG show with Mike Brooks:

    NEVES: Ronald received unemployment from his time, and Misty is — the friend that she`s staying with tends to pay for everything, so…

    BROOKS: Is she independently wealthy?

    NEVES: I think that maybe her husband is independently wealthy.

    ————-

    So the friend’s husband is independently wealthy and may have connections to a well known organization.
    Names that come to mind are Orlando attorney M.NeJ. and his wife, and TES. Pure speculation on my part, of course.

    Misty Cummings Accused In I-4 Road Rage

    is a pick order in the future for ole Misty? Hope they find the gun she was packin…

  25. ostella says:

    Misty has the road rage. I’m serious.

  26. dedemama says:

    What has ever happened to Jr, Haleigh’s little brother. When Ron got cusdotial rights to him (and of course Haleigh), Ron and his Aunt were to be the care givers…not a 16 year girl (who sleeps with the dad) and Ron’s Aunt. the magistrate said Ron could provide better for the children…and he had a job which would provide health insurance.
    Well, he has none of that today! Why is Jr still with him?
    What has happened to the relationship between Jr and the girl he called “step mom?” The girl Jr. loved so much and wanted his dad to marry her….now she is gone….his mohter is gone….his sister is gone. What is left for the child?

  27. Steph says:

    Misty was with Donna Brock of Orlando TES. This Donna was the driver of the car accused in the road rage incident. So why is this Donna hanging with Misty?
    Lordy. No Clue

  28. Chitown lady says:

    Yeah know Blink….I love reading all the comments on the pages…I find it so GD amazing just how many of us think and rethink and actually know more about these cast of characters then the police. One thing I do not understand is why can’t the cops just go and PICK UP MISTY? She is clearly the main suspect here. She does have lawyer so, you mean to tell us that the police can’t just pick up the phone and tell Mr. Lawyer get you client behind in here NOW? Are the police hoping maybe just maybe, Misty is as dumb as she looks and acts and may lead them to Haleigh (dead or alive)? I am sure all of here do not get the pussyfooting around with her. She seems to be laughing at the police….Any thoughts?

    They cannot question her at this point without admitting she is a potential suspect, at which point she will invoke, the end.
    I do not think anyone believes she does not know exactly what happened, but knowing and proving are 2 different things.

  29. dee says:

    well looks like Donna might loose her standing with Tim Miller after this….eeewwwww ouch!

  30. thinkofme says:

    This woman is an embarrassment to TES.

  31. EyesOpen says:

    We know that someone with the handle of Tinkerbell posted on WS as the defending sister of WC. Donna has Tinkerbells all over her MySpace background. Several people suspecting WC is the deliver of the letter (I don’t see it, but….). Blink you have said you have TES connections and Nejame is friend, what’s the lowdown?

    I spoke to Mark yesterday on the matter, but I am unaware of any TES involvement in “supporting” Misty.
    B

  32. EyesOpen says:

    Well what did Mark say LMAO. Anyways talked with David, and he is also posting on another forum, this could get interesting.
    Which David?

    Because it was personal and not on the record, let me say he is very hopeful that the split produces what happened to Haleigh, but not very optimistic it will have that effect. He is the Father of 2 little girls, this affects much the way Caylee’s case did/does.

    Haleigh Cummings: Stepmom Misty tells CBS she believes someone ‘on the other side of the family has her’
    posted by halboedeker on Oct 9, 2009 8:27:12 AM

    “Someone came in and got her, obviously,” Cummings, 17, told CBS’ Maggie Rodriguez. “I feel like it’s on the other side of the family that has her. That’s just how I feel.”….Cummings said being heavily questioned in the case had been “really, really hard.”
    But she said that Ronald has told her he doesn’t think she’s guilty. “He believes me,” she said. “He doesn’t think I had anything to do with Haleigh gone missing.”
    And she doesn’t worry about being arrested. “I don’t think they looked at everyone as close as they looked at me,” she said. 

  34. EyesOpen says:

    “I am unaware of any TES involvement in “supporting” Misty” — Blink

    FYI, have you seen this, http://bbn.frn.com/fis/storydisplay.asp?site=wsky&storyID=9945

    “EquuSearch founder Tim Miller sent Donna to convince Misty to open up”

    I just don’t know how I feel about EquuSearch’s involvement.

    FTLOG.
    I am at a loss.

  35. Kleat says:

    Did anyone notice the outfit for yesterday’s Today Show or whatever CBS Katie show that was? ‘Have you seen me? sweatshirt — same as the set up for Caylee’s t-shirts, same storyline– substitute Misty for Casey, they need to look for the right person ‘line’, putting the blame ‘out there’ to others, same shows for their own purposes, Kouric etc. But Misty’s hair was covering partly, her ‘message’ about the missing Haleigh. If she intended the t-shirt for anything but her own story promotion, she would have made sure people got a message to please look for Haleigh, and she would have made sure her ‘poster’ for her was clear of her ‘hair’ debris.

  36. Obsesseded says:

    Sounds like the divorce would help prevent Husband-Wife Priviledge in a court case… right? As if Ronald and LE are posturing.

  37. suz says:

    Obsesseded, FL law never would have allowed Husband-Wife privilege since a child was involved (as Nancy Grace relentlessly beat into my head). I think he married her to avoid felony statutory rape charges.

  38. Granmomma says:

    Has anyone read the latest on the TES volunteer that was involved in the incident on I-4 with Misty? Read the rest of the story on http://www.artharris.com ……….. pretty interesting!

    Here’s a scenario: Supposing Donna Brock was successful in entrapping Misty into a confession? I will tell you unequivocally this was NOT endorsed by LE. Even the very fact that they had knowledge, if that is indeed true, would render that confession useless and taint every shred of evidence associated with it. It would likely result in an inability to prosecute in a case of a 5 year old dead child. You have seriously got to be kidding me; I am clueless as to why Tim would do this.
    This will do wonders for the Caylee Anthony defense team. WTH?

  39. Gavriella says:

    Misty’s attorney quit after her t.v. appearance? Did she say something she shouldn’t have? Why would he have quit?

  40. Mariann says:

    #42 Gavriella- Because she doesn’t listen to him? He advised her NOT to do these interviews but she does want she wants.

  41. westsidehudson says:

    http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0910/14/ng.01.html

    I didn’t watch the show, someone on another site was discussing the interaction and conversations of the guests, so I had to read it for myself. Disclosure: I have a difficult time ‘listening’ to Nancy Grace.

    Anyway, Mark Klaas laces into Tim Miller and his tactics for trying to get info out of Misty. Mark NeJame appeared on the show to defend Miller.

    Do you think that these actions will place Miller in a different light?
    Will it alter his credibility in the Casey Anthony case as well?

    I think it is a very true statement that Mr. Klaas made that when it comes to qualified search teams, if LE thinks it is possible for the team itself to attempt to conduct their own investigation with persons of interest, they will refuse their help and alot of people will remain missing. I have great respect for Tim Miller, but I think this was an error in judgement and potentially disasterous.

  42. WendyLee says:

    Have you ever slept through a thunderstorm? I have, my husband has. I mean a booming thunderstorm. IMO, Misty was so exhausted and sleepy that she slept right through her brother banging on the door. He was there that night after 10 PM banging on the door. He could have gone around to the side door, which was actually not locked that night, and entered the trailer without waking Misty. Haleigh probably heard him banging on the door and because she knew him, she was not afraid to go with him. He could have done something to the child and put her in the dumpster but then thought it was a bad idea and moved her. Didn’t the dogs hit on the dumpster? Has he taken a poly? Just saying . . .

  43. MISTY IN JAIL says:

    Well now is the time Misty is in Jail and momma is out…..did she talk…….well Momma probably said the same thing she did before to get out but just the same MISTY ITS YOUR TURN TO TALK!

  44. lost says:

    Watching Dr.Phil”Alex speaks out” today and wandering if this mother Arin with a troubled teen who has small children is making a reference to Haliegh and the night she went missing.She says she is from northern Florida.

  45. Charlotte says:

    Okay, now here is what I don’t understand and hopefully someone can help me. Misty got hurt when someone robbed her and took her purse while she was trying to purchase illegal drugs. They are looking for the SUSPECTS. Well correct me if I’m wrong but isn;t buying illegal drugs ILLEGAL? Why aren’t they arresting Misty for this??? Just don’t get it.

  46. MsEnscene says:

    Maybe LE is letting her find her own level, but looks as if “protective custody” for Misty is indicated. I don’t think the girl is safe out there. She knows too much. She’s the last one to see Haleigh and she’s ever changing her stories.
