Reader Demographics: Age Poll
How old are you?(online surveys)
I’m just curious about the reader demographics of this blog. I hope you care to share your age with me. That’s why I am asking. Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Sam Parker Found Guilty
Sam Parker, who was tried for the murder of his wife, though her body has never been found, was convicted today of murder. He was also sentenced to life in prison. You can read the news here.
I originally wrote about Sam Parker back on December 21, 2007. Sam was later arrested for murder in February 2008.
Parker will be the 25th person I have called out as untruthful before the truth was known, if you believe his name should be moved to that column. The vote is yours to decide…
Thanks, Pat, for the story update.
Tim Miller Speaks about Ron Cummings
There is a radio station, Sky 973, that aired Tim Miller talking about Ronald Cummings this week, and of course, one must take this with a grain of salt, because we aren’t hearing Ronald talk personally. We are hearing Miller share what he believes Ronald said. Words change when people recollect what others say, and so can the meaning of things.
Read moreHowever, if Tim Miller’s account is true and closely resembles what Ronald said, I don’t believe a word Ronald Cummings is saying. It’s completely ridiculous.
Tim Miller says, “Ronald Cummings said, ‘The bitch had something to do with my daughter’s disappearance,’ and he said that she never made the bed that night, she’d been awake all night, she never went to sleep. They did not have any laundry detergent, so she never washed clothes. The only clothes in the dryer were dirty clothes, and Ron Cummings, himself, told me he felt as though Misty was having sex with someone in his house and little Haleigh woke up and said, ‘I’m telling Daddy.’ This came out of Ronald Cummings mouth. The question was asked ‘Why did you marry Misty?’ He said, ‘You keep your friends close, you keep your enemies closer.'”
When I look at this statement and assume it is a true, one thing that absolutely seems plausible is that Ronald would be jealous that Misty might have had sex with some other guy, regardless of whether or not there was any foundation to Ronald’s beliefs. Ronald hits me as the type of guy who, if he couldn’t reach Misty on the phone ONE time (perhaps after an argument), would accuse her of such nonsense.
I also find it laughable that Ronald tells Tim Miller that “you keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” when he refers to Misty and why he married her. If Ron is keeping Misty close to protect himself, but truly dislikes her and sees her as an enemy, his behavior towards her would be noticeably different. At minimum, he would have a hard time disguising it, but he hasn’t given one indication EVER that he is against Misty in any form or fashion. It’s is so obviously clear that he is on Misty’s side that it is indisputable. Period.
Tim Miller went on to say that Ron told him if he could get $35,000 dollars, he could get Haleigh home.
What is so funny about this last statement, if it is a true account, is how could Ronald say this? If he was uninvolved, and doesn’t know anything, how could he make this suggestion?
If only Miller had a real audio tape of Ronald Cummings saying these things, it would be ten times more fascinating. While I have shared with you my opinions, assuming these statements are true and very close to what Ronald could have said, I will personally forget them, because hearsay is not valuable evidence about anything to me. I prefer to depend on watching people for myself, directly, but I know many of you were curious what I thought.
No Mouse: Frog or Toad in Pepsi Can
Here is an update to the Fred and Amy Denegri suspected “mouse in the Pepsi” story that I wrote about several weeks back.
[Pepsi says,]”‘The FDA conducted a thorough inspection of our Orlando facility and found no cause for concern. In this case, the FDA simply was unable to determine when or how the specimen entered the package,’ he said.”
[…] [Amy says,] “The report proves that something was in there. We didn’t do it,” she said. “Obviously, it was too big for us to push inside that small hole.”
[…]The couple doesn’t intend to sue Pepsi, but Amy Denegri said they are receiving legal advice about the matter…[more]
Read moreI think we all knew something was in the can. That wasn’t the debatable aspect of this case.
I do think it is strange the couple is receiving legal advice, if they have no intention to sue. What would be the point of it?
On the flip side, you would think the FDA would investigate through other experts how long it would take for something like this to decay to the state they received it. The rate of decay should give an approximate date of introduction to the can, which would either “pre-” or post date the can back to the Pepsi plant. That would go along way in helping everyone, but then again, maybe they can’t get that precise. I wish they would talk more about this, because a lack of an answer makes me wonder if they could be hiding something. Science is usually pretty precise. Is one can not worth it? Or is there more to this that Pepsi doesn’t want out?
Yet, when I think of a frog or a toad in a Pepsi plant, it seems highly unlikely they would survive getting in the door, and getting on a line–let alone make the perfect jump on to a can, let alone getting inside one. A mouse would seem much more plausible, because they are nimble, but frogs and toads are not. Frogs and toads are much more likely to get squashed, because they are slow to move. I wonder how many frogs or toads have been seen inside a Pepsi plant?
Look here at some of Florida’s frogs and toads.
It appears for now that this one will remain a mystery.
What do you think?
UPDATE: 9-3-2009
CNN is reporting this:
- The animal was lacking internal organs normally found in the abdominal and thoracic cavity,” the report notes.
-
The retired school staffer [Amy] says she and her husband are seeking legal advice to examine their options. “I want to see Pepsi fess up to it and compensate my husband for the negative publicity they have caused,” she said. “I’m easy, but they’re the ones that are making it hard.”
This article says that pepsi runs 1,200 cans on the production line a minute.
Misty’s Hypnosis Video
It’s obvious why the police are saying Misty is inconsistent publicly now, because when you listen to her latest story with the hypnotist, you can’t miss it. You don’t need any talent to see the changes in Misty’s story. I have not believed Misty nor Ronald from day one. You can read my original thoughts here.
When we live through an event, we usually recall the details similarly every time we talk about it, but Misty’s story changes again and again, quite notably.
Read moreIn this hypnosis video, Misty says:
I woke up some…at three o’clock, I just woke up out of the blue. Three something, I just woke up. I don’t know what made me wake up, and I seen the kitchen light that was on and I know my kitchen light was shut off, and it was glaring in my bedroom so I mean all the lights, every things turned off when I went to bed…and the light in the kitchen is glaring so I get up to see what is going on, and the back door was wide open, and there’s a cement block holding the screen door open. I didn’t know Haleigh was gone yet. I ran back into the bedroom to grab my cell phone, called 911, because the back door was open and I know the back door was shut when I went to sleep, and I freak’n out already, cuz the back door was open, and I didn’t know what do, and as soon as I called…I got my phone and uh… and I as soon as I got on the phone and I turned around, she was gone. So I started look in the house, under the beds, closets, everywhere I could think of…just freak’n out. And by the time I opened the front door to go out the front door, Ronald pulled up, and he said call the cops so I immediately called 911 (end time marker 9:38).
Events that Misty marked before as notable are now different. Triggers such as having to go to the bathroom in her first recollections of Haleigh’s last night have now changed to a blaring light streaming into her bedroom.
If you listen to her 911 call, and this video here, Misty in February gave a different account, “…I’d seen three–three o’clock in the morning. I got up and…I got up because I had to use the bathroom but I didn’t make it to the bathroom. I seen the kitchen light on and I walked in the kitchen and the back door is wide open. I mean I didn’t notice about Haleigh then until I seen the back door open and I go into the room and she’s gone. And that’s all I know.”
Why didn’t she mention calling 911 before discovering Haleigh missing?
Misty originally told us she called Ronald before calling the police, but this time she strangely forgets that important element. Watch here when Misty says, “Well, at first, I’d seen the back door was open, then I was running around the house looking for her, and I got my phone and I called her dad, and then I called the police.”
Worse, the order in which Misty even picks up the phone varies from moment to moment. In the statement above, Misty first tells us she called 911 before realizing Haleigh was even gone, and then later in her ramblings she tells us, “Ronald pulled up and he said call the cops so I immediately called 911.”
What is the truth? When did she actually call 911? She can’t even get the basics accurate nor keep them consistent. Her story is so jumbled up, we can’t even begin to dissect what she says with any confidence.
Do you notice the rate of Misty’s speech in this hypnosis video? When people feign fear, they often speak fast. Notice how fast Misty talks at times?
More than that, when Misty talks about finding the door open, we should see a sense of fear on her face, if she is recalling a truthful event, but Misty is as calm and as collected as can be when recalling this memory (she reminds me of Jennifer Campbell on many levels–another having no urgency to find Haleigh. Both have a resignation about them that is palpable). All of Misty’s “recollection” memories are missing the normal emotional connections, which is another huge red flag.
I could go on and on and on…
