Misty on the Early Show


Watch CBS News Videos Online

Misty was on the Early Show today. Thanks to those of you who let me know. Misty appears to be under the influence of something, doesn’t she? She is a very different person from the day before when reporters caught her at the airport. It’s like night and day, literally.

The only interesting thing in this video for me was that she said she wasn’t afraid she would be arrested. But if she is under the influence of drugs, it may be masking or affecting her feelings. Then again, maybe she is convinced a cover-up is not her problem, if Ronald really did something.

There was nothing striking about either of these interviews to me. Misty is getting used to repeating the same old things, and maybe she even believes these things now. Or, worse, she feels the high stakes are dissipating because no one has even come close to solving this.

Misty Skips Town?

Annette Sykes Speaks About Possible Sighting

Annette Sykes talks about possible Haleigh sighting. One reader says it appears as if Sykes has no belief that Haleigh could be found alive and ask me for my opinion.

I personally think Sykes is realistic in that it is not likely that Haleigh is alive, but she does entertain the thought that Walmart likely has a lot of cameras, and if they can get a shot, there is a chance it could be Haleigh. However, Sykes tells us it is hard to hold out hope, because they’ve had their hopes dashed before. This is very logical and realistic.

I do not see any reason to doubt Grandma Sykes.

Tim Miller Speaks about Ron Cummings

radio station

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.
