I just don't know. This Dad doesn't remind me of Mark Lunsford. Too much of a hot head.
I believe and trust the GrandMa's.
I also know that Lunsford did not have a squeaky clean past, but there were never the allegations of abuse towards Jessie. And his parents were at home when this happened. They were good people. I do think about them even after these few years.
Maybe it's just me, can't warm up to any of these people in this case.

From Florida (Jacksonville) Times-Union:

Through exhaustion and frustration, hope remains for Haleigh to be found

    * By Josh Salman
    * Story updated at 9:18 PM on Friday, Feb. 20, 2009


Eleven days have passed since 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings went missing, and the rural community of Satsuma is beginning to get quiet.

There were a couple of searches during the past couple of days, but nothing like when Haleigh first went missing.

Signs, photos and prayers can still be seen throughout the town, but the search process is beginning to exhaust the community.

Yet there’s still hope.

“As long as we believe and hope Haleigh is alive, we’re going to look for live Haleigh,” said Capt. Dick Schauland with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

He said police conducted two searches in Putnam County on Thursday — one about 200 yards south of Satsuma on U.S. 17 and the other in the area of a sexual predator arrested Wednesday for breaking curfew. Neither search produced positive results.

“We are thoroughly convinced that he [the arrested predator] was not involved in this, but we would be remiss if we didn’t search the area,” he said.

Authorities have received about 1,300 tips regarding Haleigh, who vanished on Feb. 10 from the home she shared with her father, Robert Cummings, his girlfriend and Haleigh’s younger brother.

One of those tips came from Tennessee, where a possible sighting of a girl matching Haleigh’s description was reported late Thursday night.

It’s the second potential tie to Tennessee in the past week.

Misty Croslin, the 17-year-old girlfriend of Haleigh’s father, said she had a cousin visiting from Tennessee for two weeks.

Teresa Neves, Haleigh’s grandmother, said on Friday that the cousin tried to steal a gun from the Cummings’ home, leading to an argument between him and Croslin.

The cousin left the home and returned to Tennessee the same morning Haleigh went missing.

“I felt like he was someone worth looking into, so I told the investigators,” Neves said. “He’s not part of my family. I don’t even know his name. But I hope that was her [in Tennessee], at least I would know she was eating well.”

Police confirmed that Croslin’s relative was in town and is now back in Tennessee, but wouldn’t say whether he was suspect.

Croslin said the man “messed with her” as a child, but didn’t think he was listed as a sex offender.

“If we would have had any idea, he wouldn’t have been around Haleigh,” Neves said. “He did not carry a sign saying ‘I’m a sexual offender, I’m going to steal your child.’ He came to our home as a relative.”

Cummings declined to speak with the media Friday. Neves said he was having a bad day and was tired from the search process.

Crystal Cummings, Haleigh’s aunt, thanked the community for everything and said she’s confident Haleigh will eventually be returned home.

“We will not give up hope or stop praying until she’s found,” she said.

I had no idea that there were people like that!  When I was in the shelter, I went to group counselling, and found out there were a lot of them, and worse.  One woman was totally freaked.  She had been running for her ex for two years, and he had stalked her through five states.  He had just showed up again.

When a person knows your personal info, and is of a mindset to use it against you, it's all but impossible to escape.

If Geraldo's photo of Haleigh being beat up is accurate, how come there wasn't a police report?  We have found reports on everything else.  Is it possible that it would be sealed because she is a minor?  Florida has such open records I am curious.

Did he show a picture? 


Klaas, I've been back and forth between here and Caylee, so your query may have been answered.

But if not, O'Reilly said pic (dated Nov '08?) was being checked out by Fox legal.  Grrraldo said pic of injuries had been explained away by someone (I can't remember by whom) who said that injuries had been sustained at school.  Anyhow, I take Grrraldo's righteous indignation w/a grain of salt.

Just watching rebroadcast of Bill O'Reilly--Grrraldo says he's going to FL tomorrow.   Yikes.  Bet the fur'll fly now--esp. after alleging that RC abused little Haleigh. 


Well good, Geraldo just might get knocked out for real if he goes there making untrue allegations, Ronald just might smack him upside the head!


Yeah, or smack him w/a lawsuit for slander. What's wrong with Geraldo?  Why didn't he keep his yap shut and just plan on going down there on a recon mission instead of tossing around abuse allegations beforehand?  Hope he doesn't show up at the tent city.

Oh great, another vid I can't watch cause of dial up--although I think I did see the original 

I've been thinking about how many school days Haleigh missed.  I don't think its that much for a kindergartner. 

I live on a higher elevation than where my child attended kindergarten and our weather was often quite bad in the winter.  I'd keep her home just because of that sometimes, for I didn't think kindergarten was worth the risk of driving her down our "mt" so she could color for a couple of hours.  And then there were the times when older when she had a bad cold or something.  A few days out, then the odd day being absent for a tummyache or something and before you know it you are up to the legal limit before the school wants to see doctors notes.  Then there is the vague assertion that Haleigh missed all those days "last year".  Is that like last semester as in pre-winter holidays?  Were there doc notes to explain that away?

Btw, my kid was roughed up pretty badly in that (Catholic) school.  We pulled her out halfway through 2nd grade.  When she was 16, she crossed paths w/a kid who tried to strangle her and after all that time was still terrified of the now teen boy.  So Grrraldo discounting that Haleigh was roughed up at her school is not outside of the realm of possibility.  Psycho nutjobs start somewhere.

I'm just tired of Grrrraldo's alarmist tone before he's ready to lay out the facts.

I thought I heard on NG, that Haleigh has an immune disorder that would cause her to have a lot of colds, chest infections which could cause her to miss a lot of school.  Sorry to be so vague.

There IS one photo of her that I noticed what looks like bruises from fingers on her right arm....it's the one that shows her birthmark on the side of her face.....D@MN, I go look because I noticed it days ago and it looks like someone grabbed her way too hard and firmly gripped her arm.



http://www.wesh.com/slideshow/news/18711660/detail.html

I can't copy it, but it is photo 15 of 19........some other monkey take a look and tell me what you see, I'd love another opinion

I have a couple of thoughts - the one on her face looks like a bruise near the birthmark. The ones on her are are not as clear. looks like she has some food or something on it but there could very well be bruises on it. the only caveat I have is that this was a fair skinned kid. Not to say she was not abused or hit but I know my oldest showed every bump and bruise. also, I wonder if she had some bleeding problems? I am not sure it goes with Turners but anytime you have a disorder that effects the endocrine system you have to wonder. I have a stepGD that has a bleeding disorder - every time she breaths seems like she gets a bruise - made it hard since she WAS abused also. The parents used the disorder as a cover. But my point is that those bruises could be a multitude of things - including abuse.

Hi Monkeys
I am confused I thought on the news it was said that Crystal and Ronald were never married. Were they Married?

I saw on Misty's brother's old Myspace that he graduated from Freeland High School in Michigan. I checked in the Saginaw County Clerk Site and there is records under the name Croslin.
http://www.saginawcounty.com/scripts/criminal.pl
Clester Leon Croslin Jr  - I think that the County site has a Typo and it is to be Chester.
CHG DISP   COUNT   MCLA/ORDINANCE   CHARGE DESCRIPTION   CHARGE DATE

Guilty Plea   02-00   750.92-B   B & E ATTEMPT OCC DW   3/22/1984

I checked the Michigan OTIS - Offender tracking site and there are NO Croslins in the data base. It searches all State and County Jails and all Michigan Correctional Facilities.

The other Names that came up were Civil Cases - closed in 2000
Name:Croslin, Dawn Renee - plaintiff       
Name:Croslin, Adam Troy - defendant
Appears to be Divorce proceedings
However it does show that Dawn Renee had a PPO issued against Adam

Here is an interesting connection with the Freeland diploma - Saginaw county juvenile detention facility contracts with the Freeland schools for education of this kids in their program. Also, there is a residential "impulse disorder" (really sex offenders - but we would not want to offend them by calling a spade a spade) in the Freeland area - wonder if Joe was in either of these?

Yes, Turner Syndrome. He gave good information on it. He mentioned sore throats also and she would be tired alot which might be why she missed so much school. It also causes heart problems so I was surprised a bigger deal was not made before this of her having that. I saw it on the police report but media has not really done much on it but Nancy Grace last night.

Hi Monkeys,

Reading about Geraldo's picture info of Haleigh on O'Reily, reminds me that GR was the first in the NH case to bring the info forward regarding the porn videos circulating on Aruba of young woman.  Maybe his brother is working behind the scenes again??

I woke up about the 3 am this morning, and the first thought in my head was "look under the trailers in the area"  There are so many trailer homes there, and they all have false bottoms I believe.  I have no idea why that popped in my mind, but it woke me up immediately.  I am sure if there was a small body there, the decomposition smell would become obvious, but who knows.  I pray this child is still alive, but hope diminishes with each passing day.
