Are they really going to search around PDM bridge ?
.....

IIRC, this idea to search around PDM came from a poster from the AH board a couple weeks ago, not from Tim Miller himself. The poster's research and info on PDM can be found on the J4H blog.

I read it and it is very interesting info.

Beautiful, Brandi.  Thank you.

The remark ( whose source was not here ) about bothering to help that family has nothing to do with trying to find a missing child. Children go missing from good families and gawd awful ones. I am not crazy about what I have seen of Ms. Neves and Ms. Sykes, but they are grandmothers and must be hurting for their girl being missing.

I remember someone saying, I believe it was a searcher, that was surprised that someone at a gas station/store made a remark such as that. Even if you don't like a family, the child has nothing to do with that, and statements like that are horrible. I feel in Lindsey Baum's case as well, people who don't care for the family are also not helping.

I am still appalled that Misty only has a 7th grade education.....you would think that someone would have seen to it that Misty at least made it to highschool....I thought that was the law?.....it is really sad....

Very sad, and she probably thinks she has quite the catch with Ron.

This is an example of backwoods hillbilly culture (that I grew up in).  What is so very sad is that Misty is not motivated by important things like getting a public education.  That can be done with a motivated kid, even if the parents or family is not motivated, or are drugged out of their minds most the time.  Generally the teachers help out a lot in such situations to the extent they can, according to the kid's circumstances.

I highly doubt if truancy from school is followed up on in the backwoods.

I was shocked to find out that in 1983 they still used outhouses in Alabama....

In '83, that is entirely possible, especially in the rural south.  I've known people who much later did not have internal plumbing.  The family church has not had plumbing ever.  Maybe one of these days- - - -

Lovely Brandi!

Sunday TM had friends of TES bring horses for he and Ron to ride and talk.  He thought this would be good for Ronald.

What a nice thing to do.  These friends were l l/2 hours away but did this because they too felt Ronald needed an outlet.  These wonderful people have invited Ronald to come to their ranch and ride anytime he wants.

Thank God for compassionate people.

That is something that Ron would REALLY enjoy.  That was a find gesture by Tim Miller.

(snipped)Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh's biological parents, have been publicly cleared in the investigation.

Does anyone have a problem with this statement but me? Surely this is a tactic that LE is using to cause division between the family?

I think that it is extremly odd that Ron had Misty call 911 instead of himself,he was tearing up the house looking for Haleigh ...okay....but we have all seen the house and it would take just a few minutes to run through there and look for her and could have been done while he was on the cell phone with 911....It sounded like to me that Misty was distracted from the 911 operator by him during the call. And then he hung up on them and when they called back it rang for awhile before he answered and they asked for Misty it sounded like she said that she didn't want to talk anymore?
Do I think that she is innocent no way no how but i think that he is involved in some way even if it is just after the fact.
You can see in the tv interviews that he is coaching her and she seems to be trying to remember what she is suppose to say.....and did not do very well so that was all we saw of her.
In my oppinion his behavior is just as odd as hers. He just knows how to say "I don't know I was at work" and I guess she was suppose to say " I don't know I was sleeping" but when she was asked additional questions that I guess she felt that she should know the answers to she tried to add to the story and it got way out of control.


This is also the only explanation that I can come up with for Ron's family defending Misty so much......There are a 1,000 things that could have happened ...someone followed her home etc but still it does not fit with either one of their behaviors......even if she can not remember some things about that night the things that she can remember should not change unless she remembers something that adds to her story and fits in correctly....

Does anyone else think that Ron was in on this in some way too????

yep

  Misty is like a loose cannon.  She may just make up things as she goes, a habit that is difficult to break.  I don't believe that she is too bright, or at least bright enough to use her curremt situation to respond appropriately.  Let's say that she is unable to plan or to recognize that what she may say can have future consequences.

Precisely why IMO she should not have been in charge of two small children.

Exactly, there is no way she should have had all that responsibility.

Please Dear God  ....let someone find this little girl soon.  It has been too long!

I certainly join you in that prayer, Grandmaof4! Please God, help someone find Haleigh!

I thought in the beginning it was said that Misty was from Michigan.  I wonder how long she has been living in FL if anyone knows.

From my notes as of Feb. 2009:

"She is originally from Michigan. She has lived in Florida for about seven years. Croslin has lived in various parts of the state, including Daytona, where she lived with her brother. - She has lived in Putnam County off and on for about a year."

A news article with the same info is at: http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090213/ARTICLES/902130293?Title=Misty-Croslin-who-was-watching-Haleigh-tells-about-herself

Hi Anna, LTNS.

 

Do we know where in Michigan she was from? I know there was talk of the SO cousin being from the Freeland area (which is not far from me)

I do too NRCG.........I also agree with Klaas about PSCO not calling Ron a suspect, I have seen many cases where LE puts that out there hoping the person slips up once they feel comfortable in not being named suspect. The PDM area is very dark and that North 40 area looks spooky to me....

[no rose colored glasses]

That area around PDM is very spooky.  One thing that I just can't stop thinking about was that dumpster that the dogs hit on early in the case, I can't get past that, and I just wonder......
