I know what you mean, Fanny.  Where's Haleigh?  I go to sleep each night and when I wake in the morning I check to see if there's any news that's she's been found.  I'm hoping and praying Haleigh will be found soon.   

BTW-I fixed the typo.

I do that too, Muffy. Turn on the TV when I get up and am still in bed before I get dressed and come to the computer.

I still do it every morning, and still think there will be news one morning.

So far it's been 271 mornings.

*sigh*

Haleigh Cummings – The Benefit Concert – Fact Or Fiction?

There was a huge amount of scuttlebutt that did the rounds of us press types when seemingly out of nowhere, a benefit concert to secure more money in the search for missing Haleigh Cummings was announced. Early reports had it that all proceeds would be going to the Haleighbug Foundation. I guess what confused me was the huge amount of secrecy that seemed to accompany this concert. At one point the deal was, send money, and then we will tell you the address.

It is still confusing, both TJ Hart and myself have been trying to find just one person that attended. A loyal reader of BNN did send us some interesting video. This purportedly was shot at the concert.

The band is fine, I have no issue with them, they even know their way around the frets of a guitar. But, and this is a very big BUT, I hang out in the music industry. I know musicians, videographers, producers, soundmen, roadies, I know em all. I have never in my life seen a video of a concert that at some point does not show the audience.

In fact this video gets even stranger, the tickets were billed at $10 each, which incidentally is a give away price these days. But, the backdrop to the stage is clearly an aluminum sided building, you can see that when the cameraman finally pans out. You can also spot the absence of any audience. Well maybe you can count the Video guy, but, I’ll bet he got in free!

In front of the stage they do have a hand written sign, “Let’s Bring Haleigh Home”.

I guess my confusion lays in what exactly is going on? Was this a benefit concert for Haleigh Cummings? Or was this something different? Of course the question of how many tickets were sold, and what happened to the money also gets my interest.

The destination of the proceeds also seems to have been a moving target, the web announced that all monies will go to the Haleighbug Foundation, another says that proceeds will go to Tim Miller and his Equusearch group, while a third claimed that proceeds would go toward increasing the reward money for information that helps find Haleigh.

You make your own decision, watch this and tell me what you think?

Jan made a very salient point, while we do not go to many concerts, we certainly go to some.  Where are the waving hands, the bobbing heads? It is just a band playing in an industrial area after everyone else has gone home.They have a lighting gantry, but it is not clear to me that it is even plugged in properly, and operated the way it should. The sole light source of any importance comes from a white spotlight from the right side of the stage.Is this video really from this much touted benefit concert?

If it is, where are the people, and maybe more importantly what happened to the money?

Watch it for yourself, and tell me what you think.

Haleigh Cummings is still missing. What happened to her? Someone knows, and that someone needs to step forward. If this was indeed the ‘benefit’ concert, something is very badly wrong.

You can bet that this is going to be a subject that gets some air time on the radio program tomorrow! Actually, this likely would be a good opportunity to mention that we will have a guest panelist on the program. Levi Page has been following both the Caylee and Haleigh stories, better still, he is a guy that like the rest of us, devils with the actual people involved, rather than rehashing old news.

"I've had more hurt in the last 11 years and not just my daughter. Carlie Brucia. Sarah Lunde. Jessica Lunsford. Trenton Duckett. Coralrose Fullwood. Haleigh Cummings. Zachary Bernhardt," he said. "The last 11 years have been nothing but death and trials and sex offenders. I've been involved with 30 families and their trials. Everyone who knows me knows I have to have this. I just need for him to look me in the eye."

does it ever end with BOTH sides of this family?? greed? is this report even true? where did the money go that was collected? I am really sick of all of them...they are only trying to line their own pockets it seems, if what we read is true...I tend to take it all with a grain of salt...and really, all this does is make even the faithful who want to see Haleigh brought home shake their heads and say, why bother?
how could the monies go to Haleighbug when there is no longer a Haleighbug? it was supposed to be restarted up in Baker County when it was moved from Satsuma...as soon as the "guest house" on Marie's property was cleaned out...what happened to that? too much trouble to reopen it??? sorry...I have just had enough with Both sides of this family being so self serving on the back of a missing little girl...imo...!!!  grrrrrrrr!!!!!!

I'm so disgusted by all of this, I guess I'll just wait and see if Tim Miller comes and searches and maybe then their will be some closure. I just don't know what to think anymore.

I am positive I had read that Tim Miller had gone to TX to attend this concert and met..supposedly for the first time....HaLeigh's bio-mother.

Anyone have an article from Tim on the concert???

You know I think you are right, no I don't save stuff, but I bet someone did.

I remember right after this "concert" I asked how the turnout was. No one could find anything written up about it.

Here's another picture of the "concert." I see no audience, do you?

As I stated before, I have looked for an article covering this concert in the news but never found any. I found that very odd.

But here is an article written by Sam Watkins (the guy who performed) on his site: http://www.samwatkinscountry.com/Shows_and_Events.html

Sam Watkins...have we seen anything else that this band has done.  Any Events??  I am beginning to believe this is the BROKE LEADING THE BROKE...

IMO - He was using the HaLeigh Foundation and the missing HaLeigh to get his OWN NAME OUT THERE..... and if any monies were made?????  where are they???  Who's pockets are full??

The best part of the night came all the way from Houston!  Mr. Tim Miller from Texas Equusearch drove all the way from Houston, Texas to
the Benefit to meet Crystal and Marie.  They talked like old friends and made plans to search for Haleigh.  Crystal and Marie told us that
they had never met Mr. Tim Miller and if it wasn’t for the Benefit, they probably would not have met.  Mission accomplished! 

Mr. Tim Miller will use all his resources to help Crystal and Marie and will not give up until Haleigh is found! 

The rest of the night, they enjoyed the music and company.  There was less stress and pressure in their hearts, they knew that Mr. Miller
would never give up!
Meeting Mr. Miller was a great pleasure for us all, a nicer and kinder man, we have never met.  That night brought together a lot of
amazing people that might have never met, all were there for a beautiful little girl that most of us have never met but yet we all love her! 
 

Let’s all help Mr. Tim Miller “Bring Haleigh Home!” 
Mail all donations to:  Texas EquuSearch, P.O. Box 395, Dickinson, Texas  77539 

Online donations can be made at the Texas EquuSearch website at :  www.texasequusearch.org.
