Haleigh Cummings is Missing: Was Misty Croslin Having Sex when Child was Abducted?
New Information Points to Girlfriend's Affair as Bounty Hunter William Staubs Enters Case
William Staubs told WSKY News that he interviewed both Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin. He said he asked the two to reenact what had occurred the night Haleigh Cummings went missing but Misty Croslin refused. On a different approach, Staubs brought up the name of a black man named "Greg" and Ronald Cummings cut him off, saying he knew the man. According to Staubs, Cummings also allegedly admitted that he knew Misty Croslin was having an affair and that he believed she actually entertained the man at the trailer the night Haleigh disappeared. Cummings allegedly told the bounty hunter that he had married Misty Croslin to keep her close because he believed she knew something about what actually happened to his daughter.
Although there have been many who have speculated that Misty Croslin - now - Cummings may know far more about the night of Haleigh Cummings' disappearance than she has admitted to, there has as yet been nothing compelling or substantial to believe that it is irrefutably true. But William Staubs' investigation and that of Kim Picazio, Crystal Sheffield's attorney, have provided some hearsay and eyewitness substantiation that events may not have unfolded that night the way Misty Croslin has led investigators to believe.
And everything keeps swinging back to Misty Croslin. And now there is renewed interest in the "man in black" that Ronald Cummings, Jr., Haleigh Cummings 4-year-old little brother, said he saw the night Haleigh went missing. According to Kim Picazio, the little boy told his mother that a black man in black clothing had taken his sister from the trailer that night.
Ronald Cummings, Jr., told his mother that he had been awakened that night when a man had come to see Misty and the couch was bouncing.
So was the 17-year-old girlfriend there? If so, was she having sex with someone in another room when Haleigh Cummings was abducted? Or was Haleigh taken after the bouncing couch woke her little brother? In other words, was the "man in black" the same man that took Haleigh?
The public is now just learning of these allegations, but those same allegations may be behind why investigators have questioned Misty Croslin so many times, especially if the Putnam County Sheriff's Office has the same information as that obtained by Picazio and Staubs. And Croslin's stories have not been completely consistent, according to most reports.
Whether William Staubs is correct about Misty Croslin being in the trailer or not that night, he believes that she has not been truthful about what occurred in the trailer. He says he will advocate for Misty Croslin Cummings be charged with obstruction of justice and child endangerment.
Perhaps Staubs' entry into the 5-week-old investigation will shake things up enough to find out what actually occurred the night of February 9-10. And then maybe a 5-year-old girl can be found.

Post a CommentThis case is so pathetic, long before the night of the murder, and who knows what else. The real mother - put through the mill by a court system - because Ron's mother worked there, or had friends . . . Ron's grandmother . . . and all the cover stories that smack of generations of lying to keep bad people out of trouble, their own. Ron deals drugs - asks for the reward money to find Haliegh himself, and as if he doesn't know that she is dead at the time . . . He fooled NO one.
This father doesn%27t seem to have the emotions a father should have when his child is missing. He asks the airhead to marry him%21%21%21%21%21%21%21%21 What is he thinking%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F
The poor child.
Why have they not arrested the girlfriend? Because truthfully she looks and sounds like she is missing a few screws in the head!!
I think if they want the truth from Misty they may have to use a strategy often used with children, like give her some dolls with a small replica of the bedroom and ask her what happened? Because, sorry to say, she looks like the lights are on but nobody is home!
This is so sad....
Misty is the key to all of this....she is young, not very bright, and doesn't tell the same story twice....in fact, NO ONE is blessed with much intelligence in this whole situation.
The saddest thing is that a little child is missing....
This story keeps getting worse. The father knew that Misty was having an affair? How irresponsible, of both the babysitter/girlfriend and the father who trusted her to watch his child.
And that is indeed a possibility, Carol. Several detractors are saying that they believe the boy is just making it up. I suggested that he might have fabricated the story early on to feel like he was helping his missing sister. However, that was before the details of the "man in black" being a black man and Misty Croslin's supposed affair with a black man (not to mention the "bouncing" couch)...
You've done a fantastic job keeping up with the developments in this story. The man in black sounds to me like a kid who is superimposing a familiar image of a criminal over a situation maybe because he knows something too terrible to admit- like knowing the killer.
