Haleigh Cummings Case: Misty Croslin Confession.. “He took her away in a Black Bag”
As 18 year old Misty Croslin pleaded no contest to another drug trafficking charge today, Defense Attorney Robert Fields told the court his client, Misty Croslin, former wife of Haleigh Cummings Father Ron, also serving time on drug charges, that she knew what happened to 5 year old Haleigh the night of February 10, 2009.
“According to Misty, Joe took Haleigh while Misty was laying in bed and covered herself up with a blanket,” Fields told Channel 4 Tuesday morning outside the courtroom. “They were there for like seven minutes, appeared to be on drugs and Misty says she saw Joe put Haleigh in a black bag and she heard Haleigh scream.”
Joe Overstreet, who is Misty Croslin’s cousin from Tennesee allegedly came to the Mobile home with Misty’s brother Hank Croslin following a drug arrest in January, looking for an assault rifle. When the assault rifle was not found, Overstreet allegedly covered Haleigh with a blanket and then removed her from the home in a black bag.
Misty Croslin claims to have heard Haleigh scream, and did nothing to stop the abduction.
Joe Overstreet was recently arrested on drug charges in Tennesee, although authorities do not believe that crime is related to Haleigh’s disappearance.
Today is Haleigh Cummings 7th birthday.

MsEnscene-
Yes I agree with you about the jail communication. I do believe that sooner or later something will come out somehow, just don’t know if it will help.
I also agree that whatever happened to Haleigh must be a lot worse than a possibilty of over 50 years in prison.
I just don’t know if Misty slept thru it or was even there?

was this not you? just curious on what intrigues you is all, not being snarky, trying to understand?
About Ron, I have said enough. The Mama Bears with claws out protecting this guy have me so intrigued.
NancyS;
Supposedly Misty is on suicide watch after a hefty grilling by the SA yesterday. So communication about Ron’s turning on her…if indeed he did…may have gotten back to her.
I don’t believe Misty can tell a straight story because I don’t think it’s her story to tell. She’s been given that story by somebody and she can never answer questions “outside the box”. She hasn’t got a grasp of the whole picture. Why? Maybe, as you believe, she wasn’t there. Often, I believe that, too. it’s so frustrating.
Believeitornot:
Well, I guess what intrigues about those whom I call the Mama Bears is the way many of them make excuses for anything Ron has done, while never giving Haleigh’s mother any break at all. Some still say that Crystal took Haleigh and is hiding her somewhere because she was going to go to jail over non-payment of child support. If you ask them why Crystal only took Haleigh and not Junior, too, they hem and haw.
They don’t even believe their own theories.It’s called a double standard.
The Mama Bears at first supported the story that Misty was a wonderful “live-in baby sitter”. Ron’s best ever GF! Better than Haleigh’s own mother. Then it turned out that Misty was not so hot after all, and came up with many changing stories. So she became, very soon, the bitch incarnate. (Not as bad as Crystal, though!)
Through it all, Ron is a saintly character whom they claim not to support in his life-style, (His drug bust really kept them gob-smacked for a while) but he was so grief stricken over the loss of Haleigh that he turned to drugs. If I had truly seen any real grief on his face, I might buy into excusing all his actions because he was so wrung out with pain , missing his daughter. But he evidenced very little sorrow, or even interest in his missing child. And then there was all that celebration over the wedding and the honeymoon trip to NYC. Who does that a month after your daughter goes missing?
But the Mama Bears go on and on with all the excuses. On some boards they are on guard 24/7, it seems, with their mantras. Ron is a grieving dad. Haleigh was his heart. Ron is innocent. Over and over again. It’s Chinese water torture! If I posted on those boards controlled by the Ronettes…as some call them…I’d soon go bonkers.
I think the protective mamas and grandmamas out there with the romantic perception of this wannabe gangsta as a tender-hearted daddy beneath the thuggish swagger is the age-old attraction some women have for the bad boy.
It is not a different concept from the one we’ve seen with women defending other bad boys like Scott Peterson, and Joran VanDerSloot. Heck, Ted Bundy got all sorts of proposals of marriage and actually did marry a woman while incarcerated who had his child.
Some of the ladies may not have the usual romantic designs on bad boys, but some may have sons and grandsons who are their own bad boys, but whom they see as their darling lads, just led a bit astray by some bad companions or “witches”.
Didn’t Ron’s mother call Misty a witch when talking to Ron in jail? (“At least you helped put that witch behind bars… something that the police couldn’t do!”) Just recently Ron’s Mom who called Misty “Ron’s best GF ever”, just over a year ago, is now calling Misty a liar and saying that she should be “hanged in the public square.”
Look out for those Mama Bears!
God forgive me for saying this, but I wish they would stop watching her. I know I should have compassion for all the root cause issues that percolate within a soul-less individual like this, but I find myself devoid of it entirely.
Much like she was as she heard a little girl scream in terror and did nothing.
B.
A few soul-less individuals, just about sums it up in this case, Blink and MsEnscene. Anyone with any sense knows that this whole scenario is redundant! Marriage, when your OWN daughter is missing speaks volume, whether it was Rons version of “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer,” or he did it to look like MR. RIGHT in the publics eyes. Regardless what the MaMa Bears think, or how hard they put the defense mechanism up for RON, he knows something.
Guilty of leaving two children in Mistys care, after a weekend binge, sleeping around, doing the drugs, exhausted from partying….not many people would trust someone like that with their children. Hes guilty on all accounts. No other way to chalk it up!
Oh Blink, that sounds so awful, I pray to God, IF Haleigh is gone that she DID NOT suffer AT ALL.. and I also HOPE TO GOD that Misty is lying with this part of the story, yikes! if it is true then give her a rope! geesh, how can a child turn this WRONG?
Where the hell is Haleigh?
Blink, I believe as you do about the souless Misty. But was Misty even there that night? LE called for witnesses to her NOT being at the MH that night. They said the evidence at the MH doesn’t square with Misty’s story.
Of course, she could have caused or witnessed Haleigh’s demise at another spot. I vote for Hank and Lisa’s home as the crime scene while they were both away at the hospital that Monday afternoon or night.
I certainly do NOT believe Misty felt “welcomed” to return to the MH on Sunday after she was kicked out by Ron and went on her drugging and sex weekend. Why would she? And why wouldn’t she head for her folks’ house, primarily, because they were not there, or one of her brothers’ houses? She and Ron were kapoot.
I certainly do NOT believe she and Ron , according to Ron’s mama, “sat up all night Sunday trying to work out their problems” , and then slept all day (with Jr. in the MH) until Monday p.m.when Ron rushed to his Gma;s to get Haleigh clothes for school, and then later, after sleeping all day with Misty and Jr.,picked up Haleigh at her bus stop before heading off to work.
Makes no sense at all, but it was inportant for LE and us to believe they reconciled on Sunday. Why? So we wouldn’t suspect a knock down drag out fight between Misty and Ron with somebody getting hurt? Possibly Haleigh.
That they sat up all Sunday night reconciling is the least of what I believe.
MsEnscene-
Maybe they did set up all Sunday night, trying to get their stories straight as to what they were gonna say happened! Just a thought.

MsEnscene-
“Maybe they did set up all Sunday night, trying to get their stories straight as to what they were gonna say happened! Just a thought.”
Do you believe Haleigh’s death was planned, then? She went missing on Monday. She was seen on Monday at the bus stop. if they talked about their story on Sunday night, that would have been premeditation for Haleigh’s death on Monday.
I don’t think anyone planned Haleigh’s death. I think Haleigh died from an accident. Whoever is involved couldn’t afford LE looking into anything regarding Haleigh’s death and Ron’s lifestyle. So some of the principle players coverd up the scene of the accident, some got rid of her body after the accident, and some just changed the accident scene to the MH. staged it to look like an abduction scene.
Different people involved may not know the details of what others did in the accident, cover-up or staging. That not having all the knowledge might explain why no one can tell anything…any story… that makes sense. Just my opinion.
According to Art Harris (and he is more times wrong than right, IMO) Misty has “cracked” after her tough grilling from the SA and told yet another story.
The latest one from Misty is that “Tommy did it” and cousin Jo is not involved.
Chelsea Croslin has much to say. (Her stories never add up.) about how Ron is the one to ask. Also Lisa, Misty’s mom, says to Art. “Misty was only ever afraid of Ron Cummings.”
Chelsea will be on Nancy Grace tomorrow night. She better not say anything bad about Ron, or Miz Nancy will wrestle her for Ron’s honor.
Better get your stories straight, Miz Chelsea. Prepare to meet your maker!

Dear Lord, I’m behind, hadnt heard the new lie from Misty LOL
I really don’t know what I think about this case MsEnscene. No I dont think it was premeditated, and I’m with you, I think an accident. Maybe too much medicine to get her to go to sleep? Maybe she got into something she shouldn’t have? Or maybe someone just plain ole killed her? I have no idea!! I just hope that someday we will know the truth!
HAHA about Mz Nancy!!! She’s one of the MaMa Bears, Chelsea better be on her best behavior, or Mz Nancy will make mince meat outta her!! LOL
It couldnt have been she got hit or anything if a brawl did break out Sunday night, because she went to school on Monday. Too many choices for me to be set on one final answer. I just dont know what happened to her, but daddy does! I feel sure.
believeitornot:
MizNancy, evidently, did not have anything on the case tonight. Oh, yead, she is drfinitely a Mama Bear about Ron. She cuts anybody off (like Pat Brown) who sees another side to Ron. Don’t nobody go THERE!Perhaps JVM had Chelsea on.
All theories are worth hearing until we actually learn something about this case. Something as simple as who really picked up Haleigh from the bus stop on Monday? And if Ron was actually at work on time on that Monday, what were his hours?
Misty’s new story, reported by Art Harris, is not new. Misty told it at the very beginning out of one of her LDTs. Then it became Tommy and Jo did it, with cousin Jo being the main perp. And now, she’s back to story one. Or is it two? I forget that the first story Misty told was the one where she was fast asleep until “I seen a 3″ and the back door was wide open and Haleigh was missing.
If LE never gets a staight story from anyone, then I guess we say that all these…ahem…unusual… people have successfully pulled the wool over the sleepy little town’s LE and the FDLE and the FBI.
MsEnscene_
I believe LE has held alot of things close to the vest, so to speak. I think they have the one who KNOWS what happened, and as soon as Misty ever decides to tell the whole truth (fat chance that’s gonna happen, but it may) then they will have their man!! He got the sweet plea deal for a reason, don’t ya think?
Believeitornot said:
“I just dont know what happened to her, but daddy does! I feel sure.”
I agree, as you know. But I think more than Daddy knows what happened to her, but he’s just not alone in his knowledge, I would be guessing at least five or six people know the important bits and pieces of the story of little Haleigh’s probable demise. Maybe they all know different parts. For the life of me, how are they not all selling each other out and singing like birdies?
I think no one can sell out any of the others without being incriminated themselves.
I surely would like to hear Cousin Joe’s story of that night. Everybody but Santa Clause(and LE) have thrown him under the bus. Some nice cousins and grandmama he has! No wonder he seems to be a general loser and nominee for Haleigh’s murder.
Didn’t Chelsey also say something on Nancy Grace like that Ron had on all black clothe’s the morning Haliegh went missing? Remember little jr saying man in all black took my sissy! Probably why Ron called so many time’s from work! Misty was probably freaking because she had taken Ron’s pill’s! Just because he was a grieving father dosen’t mean he and all the other’s didn’t get rid of the body! Poor Haliegh having to live in that kind of an enviroment! Ron and Misty are where they both belong! I don’t think they will ever tell what really happened because it would never help them!
I think Timmy is in the equation too!
One thing we can figure for certain is that Ron can be a witness somehow or he made all of the cell pings come together for the police.
He would not have gotten a deal like this for Haleighs case if he was involved. They would charge whoever did this for murder or whatever the evidence says. They want to end this fiasco however they can.
I also don’t understand how his plea deal had to do with the drug case as there is no case for him to testify yet.
Blink
I have a question for you if you can answer it please.
Are Tommy and Rons court transcripts available for us to read? it seems they would be now that they have been sentenced?
If they have been transcribed, than they may be available for review at the courthouse because of the sunshine law, but I would not count on them being transcribed already.
B
Misty’s drug case is coming up soon isn’t it? I thought Ron got a deal for testifying against Misty in that case?
Yes Christy, and hopefully Misty will spill her guts! It would be so nice to know what exactly happened to lil Haleigh. And to see Ron and his MAMA behind bars! lol Those people are dispicable!
I dont think we will ever know, though.
Somewhere I had read that Ronald was yelling in the jailyard that Misty should have happen to her what Haleigh had done to her! Is this true? If so then that would mean that Ron know’s what happened! This still make’s him just as bad even if he didn’t actually kill or dispose of Haleigh! These people are all involved one way or another and by not coming forward they are all guilty! Misty’s court date is Oct. 8th so if she’s gonna spill her gut’s she better hurry.
Maybe they all feel going away for 15 years for the drug deals is better than confessing anything about what happened to Haleigh.
We’ll see, but I think Ron just NOW telling anything he knows is beneath contempt. He would not talk to LE after March of last year because “What else can I say after I say I wasn’t involved?”
Huh, any other parent would be beating LE’s door down to help them in any way, or to ask, “What are you doing about my missing child?” Ron had no interest. He just moved right on with his low life !
Ron is selling you out there, Misty! Better wake up, sweet patootie! LE wants this case far behind them…and I think anyone will do for the title of perp. And your great love, Ron, is not going to take any fall for you even if you were just following orders!
“Didn’t Chelsey also say something on Nancy Grace like that Ron had on all black clothe’s the morning Haliegh went missing? Remember little jr saying man in all black took my sissy! ”
Now, now Christy, really! Ron pooh-pooed that tale supposely told by Jr., doncha recall?
Ron did wear a dark blue one-piece coverall for his work, though. Wonder if he came home to assist in removing evidence and Jr. woke up and saw him.
I don’t know what to think, honestly, I don’t even believe anything happened at the MH given what LE has said.
Why would Misty, Ron, and junior (especially Jr.) sleep all day on Monday, and then Jr. sleep all night? Must be a different kind of a kid than I’ve ever seen.
Nothing makes any sense because they are all lying.
Oh, here is something interesting. We haven’t heard about Teresa Neves being at the MH that evenig from any of the players. She has always said that she “sent relatives over” to check on Haleigh and Jr.
that night. And wasn’t there herself.
But here’s Ron’s lawyer, responding to Chelsea’s appearance on JVM the other night, saying that both grandmothers saw Haleigh at the MH.
A bit of an inconsistancey, in my book
http://www.artharris.com/2010/09/26/…igh-misty-chan
“This theory sounds pretty crazy”, Shoemaker tells The Bald Truth, in response to Chelsea’s blame game of his client as the puppetmaster behind his own daughter’s demise. “We have people saying he picked her up at the bus stop that day, and his mother came over and grandmother dropped off laundry that night and saw the kids when he was at work. It just doesn’t add up that he had anything to do with it.”
Wow. So was Teresa there, too? And when? I mean, what time?
And what does Shoemaker mean when he says “We have people saying he [Ron]picked her up at the bus stop that day…”
Yeah, but “we” also “have people saying” that Misty picked her up that day.
And we cannot find out who actually picked Haleigh up.
The police know who picked her up from the bustop.
Ron had a striped shirt on that morning and it was a rumor from Kim P’s camp.
I would like to know why Tommy got transfered to where Misty is as her sentencing is October 4th and he could not testify as Misty plead no contest unless they are working on a plea behind the scenes.
A whole week early? Oh I am too curious…something is going down.
NancyS: I don’t believe we will ever know thr truth. They’ll all go away for the drug dealing and we’ll still be w/o justice for that poor misfortunate little girl.
I am glad LE got some drug traffickers off the streets. Five down and many more to go…Maybe that’s why everybody in these families have so many vehicles…late models, too, most of them! Addicts and dealers! I laugh when the principles talk about their food stamps and their tax redunds.
I’m driving a 12 year old car and hoping that it will last a bit longer. Maybe I should try dealing a few pills! Nah. It’s immoral and drugs cause such grief in families, especially to children.
Ronald Cummings entered the FLA DOC early yesterday morning. His booking photo shows a mighty skeered guy,IMO. The Cummings smirk was totally missing.
lol MsEnscene, wonder what he’s skeered of? I wouldnt have a clue, would you? I’d sure hate to be in his shoes!!
believeitornot:
Probably a leetle wary of his new surroundings, huh? Not quite the same, I understand, as his roost at the County jail.
Ah, he’ll do fine. He has descended to meet his true level. No responsibilities, no worries, no young girls to keep tight control over. Many of his women fans from the net who adore him will write him and send goodies and money and proposals of marriage to make his stay very comfortable. He’ll have a lot of money to trade off for protection and drugs. If any drug dealers he may have informed on are around and giving him trouble, all he has to say to proclaim his innocence is his mantra: “I wuz at werk.”
OMG!! I fell outta my chair laughing!! You are a hoot!
But I do totally agree with ya
. I wuz at werk will forever be his alibi. Good ole Ronnie boy.
blieveitornot:
What a mess this case is! I think someone from the Forida Attorney General’s Office ought to do a very sharp review of this case and the way the LE and the SA have handled the Haleigh investigation and drug prosecution and sentencing.
The Florida Sunshine Law needs to kick in and let in light to what is going on in the way certain facts have been revealed by LE and certain other facts have not been revealed.
Why do we have many tapes of Misty and Tommy talking while in jail… ad nauuseum… and very little of Ol’ Ronnie talking to anybody. I mean Ron. (The Ron fans get so aggrieved if anyone disrepects him by calling him “Ronnie”.)
Just my take, but something is totally “off” about this whole Haleigh investigation. I can understand “close to the vest”, but all these conflicting stories that LE has allowed out by “reporters” such as Art Harris and others is plainly one-sided. Art Harris says, “LE cannot shake Ron’s alibi at being at work”.
Huh? Do you get this? LE has said they don’t even know where or when Haleigh went missing.Ron’s alibi at being at work means zip, if LE admits they don’t know when or where the crime took place. Where’s the great journalitic reporting on this case? ZILCH, ZIP. why? They need a Kathy Bellich in Satsuma!
For example, Tommy and Misty both say that LE want to hear nothing from them about Ron’s involvement in the Haleigh case. Okay, Misty and Tommy are liars, but if they finally did tell something, even lies, about Ron’s part in Haleigh’s demise, why can’t we also hear those stories? It’s selective release of info by LE. I would think that the Sunshine Law could at least be applied to the drug cases…which do intersect with the Haleigh case as LE has told us. Maybe if the Sunshine Law threw more light on the drug busts, we’d haar something about the Haleigh investigation. Unless LE is covering up something big as in Ron being a drug informant and friends with some LE big-wigs.
If the Haleigh case goes cold, I can see nothing ever revealed by the Sunshine Laws because no one will ever be arrested for that case. We will never know how this case was handled or mishandled…and I can also see the “loss” or “misplacement” of certain evidence down the line. Maybe it already has been “lost”.
A higher outside authority needs to investigate this case outside of the limits of the good ol’ boys in Putnan County LE.
MsEnscene-
BINGO!! Selective release seems fitting in this case. Misty is gonna pay big time for whatever happened to Haleigh. Things are quite hinky in this case, much less that WE the public will ever know the truth. Case will go cold in my opinion, these so called people will pay their dues for the drug dealings, get outta jail and proceed to carry on with their lives.
And all the while that they set in their little cell blocks, little Haleigh’s life ( though short as it was ) will diminish in all their sick minds, as if she never existed. How can they keep this all bound up inside themselves? It’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Will Haleigh ever get the Justice that she so deserves?? I pray she does.
I just cant help but think Misty got a raw deal. No proof of what has happened to Haleigh, no arrests for child neglect or anything whatsoever pertaining to Haleigh’s disappearance, but yet Ronnie gets 15 yrs, with a bad azz record that he has, and Misty gets 25 ….so far??? SO SAD This case makes me ill!
HOW can this be???????
You are not going to find one iota of compassion from me for either of these freaks. Nice touch with the last visit from her Mom on video where she tells everyone watching to kiss her ass.. I cannot figure out how people take sides as to who is the worst criminal between these two.
I have a colleague who worked this case onsite for a month, fresh off another unsolved child case, who told me they had no hope she would be found, and little hope anyone would be prosecuted for Haleigh’s death.
I look at it this way, they will not be in a position to compromise a child’s safety ever again.
God Bless sweet Haleigh

believeitor not:
It’s a great mystery why no one comes forth with the real story. Just for that little girl’s sake. Does nobody remember her in the town and want justice for her? You know someone outside the families involved knows something. Yet, we hear a miniscule amount about anything having to do with the case.
We don’t even know who saw Haleigh that afternoon. I mean somebody objective outside the family. Supposedly the Air Conditioning man was at the MH fixing the system that afternoon and was immediately “cleared” by LE. Cleared of what? We cannot even learn whether he saw Haleigh playing outside or not. It’s unreal.
Where was Haleigh that afternoon after school? Who even saw her at Ron’s address at all that p.m.? All we know is that Ron’s mother told Cystal’s mother that “a neighbor saw Haleigh out playing” that afternoon and early evening. Okay, what neighbor? No neighbor has come forward to say he/she saw Haleigh definitely playing outside that day.
None of Ron’s family’s stories of seeing Haleigh alive and well at 7:30 that evening can be verified, either. Certainly Misty in her first story about waking up and finding Haleigh gone never mentioned Granny Sykes coming by and delivering laundry at about 7:30. You would think that fact would be very important for Misty to tell, if only for her own benefit.
I wonder if most people in the area who could throw any light on the case are afraid to speak. Maybe they feel intimidated. Some of the suspects are in prison, but members of their families are still around holding a lot of sway.
Well Blink, its just my opinion to think Ron is the worst criminal in this case. He’s got a rap sheet a mile long, 3 children with 2 different mothers,one he doesnt even acknowledge! All the drugs that have past through his home, WHILE his children were present, and GUNS that were flashed in front of their little faces. Plus God only knows what else that hasnt surfaced to the public.
Misty on the other hand, had no kind of upbringing as far as I can see. Both parents were druggies, brothers and her as well. Being 17 and LE trying to throw the book at her, for Haleighs disappearance, just puts me on edge just a little. There’s been no proof as to what happened to Haleigh, yet… that said, I think the penalty for her is just a little harsh. Not saying she isnt involved, because I certainly do think she is….just can’t cough up that I think she killed her.
When I look back at all the lies, cover-ups, grandmas,mothers, I can’t even begin to fathom HOW any of these people can close their eyes at night, knowing that someone or all of them know exactly what happened to Haleigh. I have despised Ron from day one, his smirks and the looks he gave to Misty as if to say, ” You know what to say, and what NOT to say.” Sorry if this offends anyone, but this is MOO, and I’m gonna stick to it until I see a change in the midst.
Blink I soooo agree with you on people sticking up for any of these people involved with this case. There has only been one FACT released by Le in this case. Haleigh Cummings in missing from Satsuma.
I am sure they know pretty much what took place and by whom, but cannot get anyone to commit to testify against any of their family members. It is just a sad day in hell that NOT one person stands up for these children, only tryin to make a buck and a name for themselves.
No one’s story has remained consistent in this case. Tells ya’ something. All have something to cover and sombody to protect.
I can definately say that all these morons have Definately made a name for themselves! That I can agree too. Haleigh will never be found, but these people will live with whatever took place in the MH that night, and I hope it haunts them til the day they die!!
believeitor not:
I really do believe it was an accident. And if it was an accident, all who are involved in the act or the cover-up feel they are doing what’s best. Why should anyone pay a price like prison for an accident? That’s throwing away another life. And why should anybody be investigated to a hard degree for…er… an unusual, let’s say what it is…a criminal lifestyle when nobody intended for Haleigh ever to get hurt? These are hard-scratch pragmatists! (See Cindy Anthony.)
At least that’s how I feel they are able to go on with not much pangs of conscience. I don’t see many of them having sleepless nights unless they are worrying about more things being revealed and more people being arrested. Obstruction. Cops don’t like it! Or maybe they do like it in this case…I can’t make up my mind!
Anyway, I think the ones in command, if that’s the word, thought that this would all go away, media attention would fade quickly and everyone would buy into a story of one more missing child taken by a sex offender or maybe a man in black or, hey, the convenient black man! So sad, but that’s life. Ho,hum. Back to poppin’ those pills!
But nobody counted on Misty not being able to keep a simple story straight! She had enough trouble with the main script, but if anyone deviated from it…oh, brother, things got all gnarly in a hurry!
MsEnscene:
I do so hope it was an accident! I hope it wasn’t just another senseless murder of a child, simply because they just got sick of dealing with her!!
Whichever it was, I honestly feel that we will never know. Misty is in love with Ron, therefore, if shes protecting him, she will never reveal the truth. If shes guilty of hurting Haleigh, then only SHE knows,(unless of course she told Tommy or cuz Jo) in order to get rid of her body.
But I do feel her sentence was ridiculous, for a first time offender, and being 17. Now of course if she did Harm Haleigh, then I say hang her from the highest tree. And that goes for the rest of the clan! But…like I’ve said all along, I just can’t shake my thoughts on Ron and his mother knowing something. They just seem so fake to me. Like you said Blink, no compassion for these freaks!!
believeitnornot:
I think they all loved Haleigh, in their own way. Not my way or yours, but, IMO, they loved her. When you are dealing with people on drugs, though, anything can evolve into an accident easily.
I think all the Haleigh case players are druggies of some kind. Some may have scripts for the drugs because of bad backs (have you looked at the car accidents these families are all involved in? Unbelievable!) Doesn’t Granny Syles have to go to a pain clinic? Teresa was in a car accident which gave her a bad back. (She likes to wear five-inch heels to court, though!) We know some get drugs illegally. Some take and some sell, too! So it’s a drug culture period. Kid are cute, and they love ‘em, but the kids are not the first priority.
Funny thing, but I am still thinking that if Haleigh had ingested a pill, they could have explained that since they all take pills. Even if Haleigh fell, they could have dealt with that, too. But if she lay around too long alone before being discovered, the time wouldn’t be right for a medical examiner to believe the story, perhaps?
And then what about a stray bullet? If she was accidentally shot at another spot, like one of the Crosin houses, then there would be no evidence at the MH. Haleigh getting shot, even though it were accidentally, couldn’t be explained and everyone would be on the hot seat. A bullet is one thing nobody could pass off as an accident. Even if it were not intended for Haleigh. Ron liked to play with guns to his head even in front of Junior. He told Tim Miller that he would blow the teeth out of Misty’s head, if he found out she’d harmed Haleigh. I think he would have liked to blow her teeth out of her head for three day drug and sex binge. That was very disrespectful to Ron! Ron doesn’t like to be dissed. He called the cops on Timmy for a verbal allegation! I believe Timmy called him a FAB on the phone, and Ronnie fell apart. I shudder to think at what he would have wanted to do to Misty after her three day orgy.
Of course, Ron did supposedly beat her up and throw her out of the MH before her “furlough”! Ron is a rage and drama queen.
And I will second that MsEnscene!! Ron is totally out of control and has been for a long long time. And as for Drama Queen…TN holds that title, clear and free LOL Wonder where she buys those heels?
There’s not a single person in either family that I put any faith in their stories, lies, lies, lies. All of them. Just makes no sense to me and I’m almost tired of trying to figure out who’s telling the most convincing lie. Did that make sense?
Oh now tell me why Mistys sentencing in Putnam county is being put back until January of 2011? just rediculous and why is Tommy not snuggled away in prison? like Ron? also I wonder if they will go to the same prison knowing they have the same type of charges they are doing time for? not a maximum security as they are non viloent offenders . It looks like they will be able to get jobs there. maybe to pay the outrageous fines?
OT observation and sorry if this is redundant: Not that any of these people were all that attractive to start with, but Misty looked terrible, horrible, awful at the sentencing. I have to wonder if the lack of drug use has run a number on her.
believeitornot:
Yeah, they’re all liars because the truth is horrible and they are all involved it it in someway.
That’s why I am going for a stray bullet in a more secluded spot.
My secnd choice (today) is Haleigh was left alone, locked in the MH with no baby sitter and died from some injury with no one being there to call for help.
We don’t even know for sure where Junior was. I think both kids were probably with Granny Sykes on the weekend because Ron was out and about looking for Misty. Recall that Ron and Misty had this big story of having to run to Granny Skles to get a favorite dress for Haleigh to wear to school on Monday.
.
Yeah, right. Somebody had to run to get Haleigh from Granny’s for school period. Ron was introuble for too many Haleigh absences and tardies, or so he told Crystal.
I can’t see Ron indulging Haleigh over a favorite dress at 7:00 in the morning when he’s hungover and in a rotten mood. But I can see him racing to Granny’s house to pick up Haleigh to get her to school…and almost running down people at the bus stop as he whizzed by.
Too many lies. Why can’t we find out about Haleigh’s kast day at school from anybody at the school?
NancyS:
We don’t know who made the motion to delay Misty’s sentencing because the reporter didn’t ask that question. Just bad reporting all around in this case.
Ask one question of any of the principle players or LE or the Lawyers, get an answer and then say, “Okay, thanks! That’s all we need to know!” and then continue to print all the blah, blah, we’ve read all along in this case. Just repeat and repeat.
The reporter writing this story should have asked who made the motion for delay.
Now, if the SA refused to answer, that question, the reporter should have printed that he could not get an answer.
That would have been an interesting story. Put some fire under the LE and the States Attorney. Why won’t they answer? But this reporter didn’t bother even asking any question. What are journalism schools teaching these days? Don’t ask any hard questions!
So who made the motion?
Was it Misty’s lawyer?
The State’s Attorney?
Why did they need 90 more days before sentencing her in Putnam Co.? We’ve all seen how they have the goods on her? Why is Tommy not back in DOC?
twinkletoes:
Misty has been probably eating a lot of starches and goodies in jail. She may have subsisted on drugs more than food in the old daze! She looks very different. I will be petty and say that Gma Flo’s genes are very strong!
I am reading that the State’s Attorney made the motion to postpone Misty’s sentencing in Putnan County.
A lot of people are getting excited that Misty “could be at last taking.” Well. she was always talking. But now, who can believe her stories?
Ditto Tommy’s.
Imo, the only way the state plays ball with her is if she gives up the location of Haleigh’s remains, or a piece of evidence that would allow LE to file charges in her death.
B
I soooo agree Blink, that is the only deal that would be sane? have you heard any chatter at all Blink? thanks in advance.
Oh Blink! Would that not be wonderful news?! If only…
I wonder if Misty was ever informed of the location of the body.
If she is not involved in the actual tranportation of Haleigh’s body, it might be wise to keep her in the dark.
It may be that few pf the principles have all the details of every aspect of the case.
In which case, Misty may know a part, but not all, and perhaps cannot lead LE to the body or to any other evidence.
Or it may come out to be a “He said;she said” type of thing. And I can’t see how LE is going to resilve that.
I wonder if the cops have enough to take to a Grand Jury. Just lay everything out there, and see who crumbles.
By and large, grand juries decide whether enough evidence exists for a suspect to be taken to trial. The cops and SA certainly act as if they have a suspect in mind with Misty. Let’s see what the heck they’ve got.
It just seems to me that they would have had a Grand Jury already BUT there is no coverage like in the Anthony case. I wish someone in the media would at least see if there were filngs or possible GJ going on.
Gramma Flo was in town, were they questioning her? Has Joe been questioned any more? How about Chelsea, she seems to have a lot to say now that she is not being questioned? I just don’t get how this case has to stay all hush hush, where are the neighbors?, people at the bus stop? how about people that live near the parents house by the dock? why is NO ONE talkin at all? not even the enquirer on this case? is it that bad in Satsuma that the residents can’t talk?
I don’t know why nobody is talking. Either, LE has warned them not to say a word. Or they are afraid of any involved family members not in jail who might threaten them. And it seems no media is really interested except Art Harris. And his exclusive “sources” are not consistent. Or Art isn’t.
I’d like to know what Haleigh wore to school on that day. We can’t even hear about that. Surely her teacher, or bus driver or some other students or parents can recall something about what
Why can’t GGM Syles recall what clothes of Haleigh’s are missing. After all, she said she took care of Haleigh’s clothes.
I think the case has been so botched from the beginning, and that the powers that be don’t want anybody talking. By June 2009, some evidence had still not been analyzed. It took them more than two weeks to come and take the MH back door to be analyzed. Why did LE strew the sheets from Haleigh’s bed on the porch? Surely evidence, DNA might waft away in the air. Dogs could have tracked Haleigh’s scent from tan shorts by her bed. Why not use them?
Not that I believe the accident occurred at the MH. Did we hear of any other Croslin or Cummings home being searched? Who knows? LE won’t say anything.
But they seem to think Misty is a suspect…so take it all to the Grand Jury. Or maybe a botched investigation would come to light. And that might be embarrassing.
Why aren’t the big guns in the media interested in this case?
