Misty Croslin Speak Out

Misty Croslin, who once dated, married, and divorced Ronald Cummings, and who was the last person to allegedly see little Haleigh Cummings alive, speaks out on YouTube. The date shows March 2013.

It’s really fascinating to watch Misty speak because she confuses all the details of the story she originally told us about what happened to Haleigh Cummings.

When we tell the truth, our actual experiences are burned into our minds forever and we don’t confuse the facts as Misty has done here.  Her reasoning for her actions is completely different this time around.

I do believe Misty knows more than she is telling us about Haleigh. I believe she knows what happened, but I am also very sure that Ronald Cummings knows equally as much, if not more.

I do believe Misty when she says that she cared for Ronald’s children.That is the truth, but accidents can happen.  Was this an accident or did Ronald do something to hurt Haleigh?  That’s the question.

Thanks, L.I., for sharing this with us!

Misty Croslin Talks from Prison


 

Misty Croslin, who was last to see Haleigh Cummings alive, decided to give her story of what happened the night Haleigh disappeared again because she says, “Everyone is against me.”  She does this interview from prison as she is serving a 25-year sentence for drug trafficking. Misty Croslin was the girlfriend of Haleigh’s father, Ronald Cumming. 

Misty rehashes the details of what happened the night Haleigh went missing, and what she says this time is a completely different story than what she gave in 2009.  In this interview, she says, “I woke up…I don’t know why I woke up…and the kitchen light was on…I ran to the bathroom…or I ran to the kitchen to see what was going on. I thought Ronald was home, and he wasn’t there, so I ran to my room to get my cell phone to call him.  He wouldn’t answer his phone over 20 times. I turn around, she’s not in her bed.”

In 2009, Misty told us she, “woke up because she had to use the bathroom, but I didn’t make it to the bathroom. I’d seen the kitchen light on, and I walked in the kitchen and back door is wide open.  And I didn’t notice Haleigh missing then until I’d seen the back door open and I go in the room and she’s gone.”  (See here).

I do believe that Misty loved those kids, and if something happened under her watch, it would have been an accident or lack of proper oversight (due to her immaturity or drug use).  However, having watched Ronald Cummings for the past couple of years, if he was uninvolved, his behavior would have been very different towards Misty. In my opinion, both of these two know what happened and know if the truth comes out, it will only make things worse for each of them so they continue to hold on to what look like stories to me, not the truth.

Ronald Cummings Sentenced on Drug Charges

Ronald Cummings was sentenced today on drug charges. He was given a 15 year sentence and $250,000 in fines. Ronald Cumming’s daughter, Haleigh, disappeared in February from the trailer that he lived in with his then live-in girlfriend, Misty Croslin. Misty Croslin has also been arrested on drug charges and could be sentenced to six and 240 years.

I reviewed Ronald and Misty within days of Haleigh going missing in 2009, and I found both of their stories odd and fishy. I believe both know a lot more than they have said about Haleigh. I have written extensively on these two, so click on the labels below to see all of my thoughts.

I will never forget Ronald when he said within days of Haleigh’s disappearance, “I’d give my life for my child’s life back.” To me that is a strong indication he knew at that point she was already dead.

I wonder if we will ever learn what happened to Haleigh.

Thanks, Karon, for following the story and keeping us updated with links! You are a tremendous help with this blog. Thank you, truly!

Misty Croslin Tells Another Story

This photo released by the Putnam County Sheriff's Office shows Haleigh Cummings, 5, of Satsuma, Florida. Cummings was reported missing from her home early Tuesday morning and an amber alert was issued. Detectives say they are treating her disappearance as an abduction even though there were no signs of forced entry into the home.

News surfaced this week that Misty Croslin has told investigators that Joe Overstreet came to her house the night Haleigh disappeared and stuffed a screaming Haleigh in a “black bag” and drove off with her in a van. Misty says while this happened, she and junior hid behind the covers. You can read more here at the Orlando Sentinel.

Misty has come up with so many stories, it’s ridiculous. Just reading the story, I see red flags. Why on earth wouldn’t Misty and Ronald have stuck to this story from the beginning if this was the truth? What motivation would they have to lie about this, if they are uninvolved? It makes absolutely no sense.

Of course, I haven’t watched Misty make this statement, so until I do, I can’t draw any conclusions, but this story is highly suspect, if you ask me based on logic alone.

I suspect if this was the truth, we would have heard it a long time ago.

Pat Brown’s Speculation on Haleigh

Being able to see the truth, one thing is very hard for me: listening to people speculate at what happened. I think it is because a lot of what people speculate about has no evidentuary support. Human behavior is evidence. People behave the way they do for a reason. We can never discount it, which a lot of people do when they speculate. So when cases start to break, I often steer clear because I go loopy listening to speculation that has no basis in reality. You cannot ignore basic facts.

I heard lots of stories about what might have happened to Haleigh Cummings and most don’t even remotely interest me because they are so far off the charts. The idea that Ronald was totally uninvolved is ridiculous, and Pat Brown has offered the first plausible scenario that I have heard of what might have happened to Haleigh. I thought I would share it with you.
