Haleigh Marie Cummings #18 8/6/09 - 8/30/09

[clarice]

If he worked eight hours then it must have been 4 to 12am or 7 to 3.am

Either way, makes three hours to accoutn for.

Thank-you cece. I'm really wondering about how this rumor got started about Haleigh being found deceased.

Me too no rose.  I hope someone gets to the bottom of it & soon.

If Haleigh is still alive, it is time she was brought home.

If Haleigh is no longer alive, it is still time for her to be brought home.

Makes me want to cry. 

Me too, Thunder Bunny, me too.

SATSUMA - Riverside firefighters responding to a houseboat fire on Cleo Lane were met with an unusual sight, Fire Chief Ray Steybe said.

"I don't ever remember chasing a fire down the river - this is a first," Steybe said.

"I literally watched my fire floating down the river."

Steybe said when his units arrived at 121 Cleo Lane at about 3 p.m. Friday they were met with a houseboat (about 60 feet in length) fully engulfed and an adjacent small dockside apartment burning.

"We had to go to a second alarm because the houseboat broke loose and floated into the channel (on Dunns Creek)," he said.

Twelve units from Pomona Park, Satsuma, San Mateo, Crescent City and Palatka fire departments were dispatched for the two-alarm fire, he added.

Firefighters extinguished the apartment fire within 30 minutes. Nearby residents took to their boats and kept the burning remains of the floating home in the center of Dunns Creek away from any other homes or docks.

Steybe said no one was in the apartment or in the houseboat when the fire occurred and there were no injuries to firefighters who fought the two blazes.

Putnam County Fire Marshal Allen Peacock said the fire started on the boat before spreading to the dockside apartment.

"We are still trying to ascertain where the fire started on the boat," he said.

Peacock said this fire was a little bit unusual because of the boat floating away.

"No one was home at the time of the fire and we are being assisted by the state fire marshal's office during the investigation," he said.

Neighbor John Beeson said when he ran to the dock he saw that the apartment and boat were fully engulfed.

"I've never seen anything like that before," he said.

"When the houseboat broke loose and floated downstream where there were houses, we were afraid it would burn them."

Resident Ruby Bangs said when she came out of her back door she saw black smoke.

"The houseboat was on fire really bad," she said. "It must have caught the apartment on fire."

Bangs said when the boat broke loose from its moorings, it started to float into a nearby canal.

"It was going into the first canal and fishermen got it and pulled it to the center of Dunns Creek," she said.

Steybe said Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officers towed the boat to a grassy area near the north shore of Dunns Creek where it wouldn't threaten any structures while the fire was extinguished.

The boat was later moved back to its original mooring.

"The houseboat and the apartment are both total losses," he said.

Cece..thank you for that video...so sad to see it but yet it was beautiful

I think that both Ron and Crystal have done some very wrong things, maybe have not always made the right decisions and have made mistakes along the way, haven't we all?  but I have no doubt in my mind that BOTH of these parents love this child very much and want her back home with her family...JMO.....they both need some parenting classes ....I think that they are probably doing the best that they can do with the "tools" that they have been given to work with....I hope that they both get a second chance with Haleigh..with some healthy parenting classes behind them...jmo.....

Cops have few clues in case of Haleigh Cummings, girl missing for months
By Anika Myers Palm

Sentinel staff writer

August 9, 2009

Six months ago, 5-year-old Haleigh Ann-Marie Cummings vanished after her father's girlfriend put her to bed.

The 3-foot, 3-inch girl from Satsuma hasn't been seen since.

In the ensuing months, deputies have continued a search for Haleigh that has brought few clues since the early days of the case, and her family has faced media and law-enforcement scrutiny.

"It's still an active case; we have the same investigators assigned," Lt. Johnny Greenwood of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said. "Every tip that comes in, we investigate."

In the days after Haleigh's disappearance, family members made several television appearances to plead for the little girl's return. They have been less vocal recently.

The Florida Department of Children and Families investigated child-abuse claims against Ronald Cummings, 25, Haleigh's father, made by the girl's mother, Crystal Sheffield. At the time of his daughter's disappearance, Cummings lived with Haleigh, 3-year-old son Ronald Jr. and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Misty Croslin. Cummings and Croslin married in March.

Greg Kimball, an attorney with the Palatka firm of Kimball and Snider, represented the Cummings family from about a month after Haleigh's disappearance until DCF closed its case in July with no findings of abuse.

"I don't think we have any plans to get back into the fray," Kimball said.

Cummings was arrested last week at his grandmother's house in Welaka after a fight with some of his wife's relatives.

Hank Croslin Jr., brother of Misty Cummings, said Ronald Cummings hit him several times. Cummings was booked into the Putnam County Jail on Thursday morning on a charge of burglary with assault or battery. He later posted bail of $12,504 and left the jail.

Sheffield, who lives in Baker County not far from the Georgia line, said Friday in a prepared statement that she still is hoping for her daughter's safe return.

"Haleigh is about to be 6 years old, I am begging once again from the bottom of my heart for whoever has my sweet daughter to let her go," Sheffield wrote.

Misty Cummings said she put Haleigh to bed about 10 p.m. Feb. 9 and woke about 3:30 a.m. to find the girl missing. She called 911. Ronald Cummings then joined the call when he returned home from work, saying he needed assistance and would kill the person who had taken his daughter.

Deputies noted that, although a screen door at the home had been propped open, there was no sign of forced entry.

No suspects have emerged in the search for Haleigh.

There have been no breakthroughs in the case — and sometimes tips have been counterproductive.

Just last week, Greenwood had to publicly deny an unconfirmed rumor that the girl's body had been found.

"We didn't need that misinformation getting out to the public," he said.

Although the Sheriff's Office still considers the Haleigh investigation to be a missing-persons case, one of the two investigators assigned to the case is a homicide detective.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information about Haleigh's disappearance to call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-8477.

Thanks Jerseygirl.      "I don't think we have any plans to get back into the fray," Kimball said.   I find this to be a very telling statement from Ron's ex lawyer.

I read that article Klaas posted.. It make you wonder why Le can set aside certain rumors but why can't they set aside other rumors... Like for instance Ron's work hours was it 8 or 10 and if it was 8 did he get in work late was he on time ect.. LE is so closed lip and today its been 6 months and no Haleigh... I wonder if this closed lip case is hurting LE on finding Haleigh...

Where Is Haleigh...
