Update on Search for Haleigh

/in /by

A blog writer at the Orlando Sentinel wrote the following on this blog:

“Sources close to the investigation tell me that they have a person in custody,” WOFL’s Kelly Joyce said from Putnam County. “That person told them that they could find Haleigh’s body at the bottom of the St. Johns River here today, and I’m told they found something, but the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office isn’t saying what they found.”

Of course, this is one person talking to another, so take it with a grain of salt, but I thought I’d share it.

Breaking News: Search for Haleigh Ongoing

/in /by

Investigators in the Haleigh Cummings case have received a tip from inside the jail, and are searching the area near where Ronald Cummings lived when Haleigh disappeared at this moment. They’ve also set up a mobile command center, so it looks like they got a big tip.

News4Jax.com is reporting the following (see their video here):

Channel 4’s Tarik Minor said the search of an area less than 5 miles south of where Haleigh disappeared in February 2008 was prompted by a “credible tip.”
…

Minor called the search effort “massive,” and included deputies from Putnam, Clay and Marion counties, as well as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. He said cadaver dogs were also brought to the scene.

In the FirstCoastNews article, they write something I have never seen before: “After extensive interviews with many people involved in Haleigh’s life, detectives have said Croslin knows more than she’s saying, but is not a suspect. Has anyone seen that before? Is this a new change in status due to information?

I will post more information as it becomes available. If you have breaking news, please email me!

Thanks, Karon, for the breaking news tip!

Janet Jackson on Oprah

/in /by

Last Friday, Oprah interviewed Janet Jackson about the death of her iconic brother Michael. It was an interesting video because Janet was very open and honest. She admitted that the family knew that Michael had problems and that they did several interventions to try to help him, but they failed. She even said that when she got the news of what happened to Michael, she wasn’t surprised by what happened. The family had feared for Michael’s safety for a while.

It was refreshing to see such candor and honesty.
