OT also...my Priest said to give to charity instead of giving something up for Lent. I just love him LOL

Any more news of the search?

Wow, another great idea!

Anyone in Florida hearing anymore about the dogs or helicopter?

By "home based business", you mean Avon?

I cant picture her killing someone but I know that looks can be deceiving. I do wonder if she left that house and left them alone.
I can just see LE asking Jr when he saw the MIB did he tell Misti and Jr saying Misti gone.
If she is lying I think that would most be likely what she is lying about.
I also have a hard time believing LE cant crack her.
She doesnt appear that tough to me.

I don't think she killed Haleigh either. I do believe it could very possibly be someone who just targeted the house because they knew she would be there alone with the kids.

I think that Misty is trying to tell the truth as best she can. I can certainly understand being confused about some things and the way LE questions, it would make it even worse. They are just trying to get to the truth but it can be very intimidating and confusing.

I do believe she needs an attorney to guide her through the questioning.

When people are innocent, they don't think they need a lawyer IMO. However, I watched about the Riley Fox case last night online (thanks to another poster who posted about her case). It is dispicable what happened in that case in regards to the interrogations and false arrest of her own father. Had they not focused and framed that father, IMO they may have been able to catch that baby girls killer. I also read a book called the innocent man.. again disgusting, the behavior of LE interrogations IMO.. So after just these two stories, I agree. LE would never question me without a lawyer if I was innocent and felt I was being singledout for a crime and they would never be allowed to interrogate one of my children without a lawyer either. Some of their tactics are quite disgusting IMO.. Now if they have PROOF and are trying to break someone that they KNOW did something.. maybe I'd feel different.. I'm sure it's a tough call, and they need to be tough..and with certain criminals it is well deserved.. I don't know, maybe that's why I'm not in LE LOL
I used to believe that innocent people didn't need lawyers too.

After I watched a few cases and the questioning that went on, I changed my mind.

My children know that if they are detained for any reason, they are to request an attorney. I know LE has a job to do, but an attorney isn't there to stop them from doing their job, just to make sure that your rights are protected.

Misty is basically just a kid herself. I don't like the idea of her being questioned over and over without an attorney.

I thought I heard it was an anonymous tip also. If Misty was out partying, where are the people she was partying with?

In that small area, I can't see it happening without the whole town knowing.

I could be wrong though, they might just have clammed up.

I was replying to a earlier post with regard to LE, FBI, all kinds of enforcement doing a major drug or weapon bust in town without anyone aware and no media. The poster was thinking perhaps Ron new of some Bad people from his past or Ron may have been involved selling drugs himself. Could be a act of retaliation only Haleigh got in the way.

From what I understand, no one in the case, Ron, Misty or Crystal have retained a lawyer. That leads me to believe that none of them had anything to do with this. I do think it's odd that a stranger could come into a home in the middle of the night like that, but it has happened. IMO everyone is being too cooperative with LE for them to be involved. Just my opinion though. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family and all involved. How terribly sad!

My gut instinct tells me that Ron would have an attorney if he needed one. I too tend to believe that people who commit crimes don't sit around waiting for LE to accuse them prior to getting representation.

The fact she is perpetuating the 'bombshell' Ron may be a police drug informant....started by a question asked by GERALDO!

Geraldo, people....!!! Geraldo. :thumbdown: :ohmy:
Who believes anything he says?
Still the media runs with the "story"

That ticks me off on every show I see it talked about.

These media types have no idea the danger they are putting this whole family in by these careless remarks.

None.Kathy, you took the words right out of my mouth.

They have run with that idiocy just as if it were fact. They have endangered these people by nothing more than speculation.

His daughter is missing and they are talking about him being an informant for LE.

Of course LE is not going to deny or confirm that. Why should they?

Didn't scott peterson also claim the police advised him not to talk? Absurd, if he has nothing to hide he should be talking his head off in an all out effort to locate Haleigh. I'll say it again, something about all of this smells. Bad.
Until LE comes out and says Misty and Ron are ruled out and passed the lie detector then I will focus on it being someone else. Now I believe they are involved.:bored:

They've had dogs there already - I think they had dogs on the ground before 4 a.m.

I think they're wrapping this up. I think this is LE's last grand finale big push search before they feel like they've done all they can. I don't think they're close to anything, closer by one inch than they were when they were first called Feb. 10.

When I read that neighbor - Batchelor - say they've already searched twice, it seems like they can't think of anything else to do but search the very same spot, more meticulously.

There certainly is a chance that this major search will turn up real evidence - but if not, my guess is day after tomorrow they'll announce an end to a very active investigation.

They had sent dogs out the first day, this is the first time I have heard they have cadaver dogs working the area- that is a huge difference.

There have been dogs out since the moment Haleigh was reported missing. The first responding LE brought dogs to the trailer.

I keep thinking about the SO the LE arrested for violation of his curfew. LE said they had no link to him and Haleigh. That doesn't mean he is in the clear. He lived within a mile of the Cummings.

Bringing Misty in time and time again for questions doesn't seem hinky to me. She was the last to see Haleigh and she was the caregiver for some months. She would know more about Haleigh's clothes, toys etc than anyone else in case anything clothing etc was found in the searches.

All the rumors put out about her being away from the trailer needs to investigated. Crystal said she had been told Misty was out partying that night. Crystal needs to tell LE who told her that. If someone gave her that info, that person needs to be interrogated and determined if this true. Whether true or not, Misty is put in the position of having to be questioned about the rumors.

Just a though:
That they keep calling them or her back in there because they can and their are some advantages to having a Attorney.
Also I find it odd that all supposedly having taking LDT but yet none of them have been cleared and it is known they can have results almost immediately.
I believe at least one of the reasons for that is simply because they don't have to. Though it could be that they suspect one of them and just don't want to let them or anyone else know it hoping they will slip up and it would look to obvious if they cleared all but one.

One way to look at it is...

If Misty knows Haleigh is dead, she's going to hold out at all costs to not be in trouble.

If Misty thinks Haleigh is alive, she would tell the LE "I effed up, I left the house, I left these people with Haleigh, and we need to find her!"

Greta finds a little space for it at the end of her show. I don't know why the media is backing off. LE has kept everything close to the vest with no results. Maybe it's time they release everything and let the media and public help find Haleigh.

When I think of questioning as a minor, I think of Michael Crowe. That wasn't a gentle questioning and they were on the wrong track.

I wonder if they took everyone elses DNA already? It could be nothing..or a big something IMO. Wonder why they were at the wrong doctors office? That's interesting..where was Crystal? Interesting that they went to the doctors office to get her, why not wait until she got back?? :scared:

It says Crystal has been asked to submit a DNA test, no indication which type, or exactly why, and that she's lost and they're trying to find her because she went to the wrong office.

Wow. Lost or disappeared?

SATSUMA, FL -- Investigators want a DNA sample from Crystal Sheffield, the mother of Haleigh Cummings, while cadaver dogs scour the woods and fields around the girl's home for any signs of the missing girl.

The five-year-old has been missing since she went to bed on the night of February 9th.

Late Thursday afternoon, detectives came looking for Sheffield, who had apparently gone to the doctor.

The detectives are trying to track her down after going to the wrong office. Investigators would not comment on what type of DNA sample they need, or why.

here is the part of the article that refers to Crystal

I still think this is a part of them wrapping this up. Do two days intense ground search, collect all DNA samples we might need to store for the future, wrap it up.


when you see wrap it up, you mean make an arrest, or just put the case on the back burner and assign two guys to the case????

Don't forget they are inexperienced LE from Satsuma/Palatka, FL.

True, but the FBI is involved. There is DNA all over that trailer where Haleigh lived with her dad, Misty and little brother. All of their DNA would be required to do comparisons for an "unknown" DNA. Same thing for anyone that visited there that is known by LE.

Crystal's would be needed to get Haleigh's DNA = mitochondrial DNA, but they could get it from her hairbrush, toothbrush, etc.

I used to believe that innocent people didn't need lawyers too.

After I watched a few cases and the questioning that went on, I changed my mind.

My children know that if they are detained for any reason, they are to request an attorney. I know LE has a job to do, but an attorney isn't there to stop them from doing their job, just to make sure that your rights are protected.

Misty is basically just a kid herself. I don't like the idea of her being questioned over and over without an attorney.

:sad:

Why is she being questioned without a parent if she's underage? Or is the Magic Age 16 in Florida? On TV it's usually 18, or so I recall.....

Why do you think they need it immediately?

They asked her to submit, she went to do it and then got all lost.

Interestingly, they already HAVE her DNA, and Ron's, from the paternity tests when Ron sued for custody. It's right there, in the court papers so maybe that's why they haven't needed Ron's.

They probably wouldn't already have Chrystal's MtDNA, just the regular paternity test DNA.

If they have her DNA, they don't need her MtDNA. MtDNA cannot be narrowed down to match one particular person, just female family members.

I would have thought obtaining DNA from both father and mother would have been SOP. And I thought the FBI had been advising Putnam County all along.

Sounds like someone in the Sheffield camp's trying to make news when there's no there there.

JMO

ETA: Let me add that it is *possible* that a hair or hairs have been found that have no root, in which case they would need the MtDNA from Crystal to see if it is indeed Haleigh's. But I still say, DNA (including a hair sample) should have been SOP on Day 1.

Yes it seems if Misty was out parting then someone would of came forward by now saying she was with them. UNLESS they were part of this crime and laying low. OR- Maybe they have told LE and we just do not know yet.

Without the Sunshine Law in effect there just is not a lot we know about here as we did from the start in the Casey case.

It could be that if anyone did see her that they may not want to let anyone know because their activities may be illegal, or they may not be of age, etc...

I'm with you playnice..though I might not use the word creeps..but jsut the same. something has always irked me about her, namely her lack of emotion. She over talks the daughter, inserting all of the bad things about ron.. i agree with you.. The paternal grandmother has shown so much emotion, completely opposite crystals mom IMO and I believe that is because the paternal gm is obviously much more involved in the childrens life.

After Trenton Duckett had been missing for awhile they asked for DNA samples. This may be something similar. Crossing of T's and dotting of I's.

So far this is what I have found..

http://www.cga.ct.gov/2000/rpt/olr/htm/2000-r-0282.htm

SUMMARY

New York does not prohibit police from interrogating 16, 17 or 18 year olds unless their parent or guardian is present. It does provide certain protections for children under 16 years of age who are taken onto custody. We describe these protections below.

We did not find any states that prohibit the interrogation of 18 year olds unless a parent or guardian was present. But we found two states with laws that prohibit police from interrogating 16 or 17 year olds before they have had the chance to consult with a parent or guardian (Alabama and Arkansas). And we found six states with laws requiring in one way or another that a parent or guardian be present before police can interrogate a 16 or 17 year old (Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri, Maine, North Carolina, and North Dakota).

Peaches it's much harder to ID someone by hairbrush or toothbrush DNA. You do that if you have no other way to do it.

Interesting again, they already HAVE Haleigh's DNA on file from the paternity suit, but they wouldn't have Crystal's MtDNA.

That's my guess about this.

If there was any rush to do this, they would have escorted her to the lab, not sent her on an errand to get lost. Again, MOO.

I'm confused also. Have the LE found her yet. I had seen her on her cell, so I know she has one.Why wouldn't LE call her on her cell and make arrangements for the DNA sample.

Maybe it is as simple as the LE directed her to a doctors office and she never showed up. If that were the case, then why not call her to see where is she. Did I read report right that the LE actually went to the doctors office. Maybe she just dropped off the radar for a little while.

I don't get too excited about the initial news reports because of the history of many of them being inaccurate. This one is rather strange though. I would agree with other posters that LE would have likely already taken DNA samples from the parents, Haleigh and likely Misty too.

Good point! I'm wondering myself why the doctor visit. Did they make her go? Do we know it is for DNA? Could it maybe be for a drug test?

Then again, they could have taken one through a hair sample but I think maybe if they want to determine if pot is currently in her system and if so, what amount, a hair sample may not show that.

Maybe they believe the person who said she was not home or are still trying to determine the validity of that statement.

I don't know what to think anymore! I still don't think she, Ron or Crystal had anything to do with Haleigh's disappearance but I'm really confused as to how someone got in without leaving evidence of forced entry if they are so adamantly certain that they locked the doors.

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=132277&catid=3

I believe it's new.

The article also states that "her mother and father" were watching when LE went back in.

What time did they go in the house and what time did they want Crystal's DNA?

yeah well when you figure it out can you explain it all to me really slow because i'm so confused it's unreal.


Me too................this is such a sad case.............no wonder it is leaving us all confused.

First of all, as parents, we can not see anyone who is a parent doing anything to hurt their child...............

Maybe if Crystal took HaLeigh or if she had it done..............HaLeigh is alive!

Hopeing HaLeigh is found soon and alive!

They still reporting on this right now. The report is that she was told the LE needed a DNA sample and she said "if they come tell them I have a Dr. appointment and she immediately left.

They are using words like "she is on the run."

Guess they found Crystal

SATSUMA, FL -- Investigators are back in the home where Haleigh Cummings was last seen. Her mother and father were watching as vehicles and search crews came back to the house.

not what is being reported form outside the house.

Just to clarify- they reported that Crystal is missing?

That is what Mike said on HLN. He is covering it now on his show. Now saying there is no sense of urgency. saying le said they will see her when they see her.

TH's saying something is up. Saying suspicious Crystal would go to doctor office instead of helping with dna in search for her daughter.

Hmmm...lots of speculation going on by TH's.

With Apology, I am on a roll today, did not notice the time of the article. So she has gone missing according to HLN. So she was with Ron earlier when the searches started? Interesting, I wonder if the doctors appt. was local with the little ButterBean or for herself.

Leanne Weich
02-26-2009, 05:10 PM
...sorry, I don't remember the poster who stated this theory. But she said that the area is full of septic tanks.... so easy to throw a body down one.

My personal theory is that Misty is responsible for Haleigh's disappearance, this could be where she hid her. Either in a septic tank or in the water close by. Remember how close to home Caylee was? I believe that Haleigh is as well.

Cadaver dogs should be able to pick this scent up.... weren't they only using tracking dogs before?

I do not believe in a mysterious man in black took her theory at all. I also believe that Misty has a strong motive to have done this.

If Haleigh was killed at home and her body not left in the home for approximately 2 hours, it is unlikely a cadaver dog will pick up her scent. Of course, if they find a location where her body has been dumped, the dog will pick it up.

crymeariver2006

That's what I don't understand.

Would she get advance warning that they needed the sample? Would her family get advance warning that they needed Crystal for a sample? Would LE tell anyone what they needed a person for?

This is not making sense.

Em they searched the trailer two hours before asking for the DNA....

thanks I was just going by the news article and searching the trailer was added after the DNA stuff.

Chalk it up to the media.

But Crystal not thinking it was important enough to wait and give her DNA bothers me. I guess she could just want to put off the inevitable if she believes the DNA is to ID Haleigh..but still..... very odd.

Texas48
02-26-2009, 05:15 PM
I'm confused too, because it's written confusingly. Here, from FirstCoast News is the quote:

" Investigators want a DNA sample from Crystal Sheffield, the mother of Haleigh Cummings, while cadaver dogs scour the woods and fields around the girl's home for any signs of the missing girl.

The five-year-old has been missing since she went to bed on the night of February 9th.

Late Thursday afternoon, detectives came looking for Sheffield, who had apparently gone to the doctor.

The detectives are trying to track her down after going to the wrong office. Investigators would not comment on what type of DNA sample they need, or why."


I take that to mean she was sent to give DNA, and then didn't arrive at the right place and now they don't know where she is.

But it could mean almost anything, including she was at the doctor for some completely unrelated thing and they went to the wrong place. ?? I read it as Crystal went to a doctor's visit..LE went to find her to give DNA and ended up at wrong office. jmo

Yes she was.

If she said that, it's an innocent statement.

Somehow I think this is much ado about nothing. If her doctor is in her hometown, that's a hundred miles away - 1 1/2 hours there and 1 1/2 hours back.

Probably more like a game of telephone and it spread like wildfire.

JMO though 'cause the police have been so tight lipped about everything else, I honestly can't see them telling the media that they needed a DNA sample from Crystal and that she was missing now.

You would think that her mother could get in touch with her via phone.

Also.............I keep remembering that when Crystal was ratting out Ron that she said

He loved HaLeigh and would not hurt her unless he got really6 angry and then maybe he would

Also.............at one time during this interview, she referred to HaLeigh as being his child............not our child..............I found that odd.

Le going to the right or wrong doctor, makes no difference, why did they follow her to any doctor! If it was just routine then wait for her to get back from her appt. Its not like they didn't have Haleigh's dna from the house and paternal dna to do a match with.

Also Crystal having anything to do with this doesn't explain why Misty didn't wake up or the whole sheet/blanket story. There is a reason LE have not released the polygraph results and the trailer is still being held after over two weeks.

i can see calling and saying "we need a dna sample, will send a tech down for it", there is no reason to suspect that she would take off and they aren't saying why they need the sample (except blows my mind they didn't get one from the first day since there would be some interest if they found crystals dna where she didn't live and said she had not been..one of those rule them out things you do early and not bc of suspicion imo) but there is no reason to be upset or think its bc they want "you" as opposed to just putting things in order if haleighs body is found.

I think so too. Odd, very odd. I would think giving a DNA sample would more important than a doctor's appt at this point in time. I would think that Haleigh's family would cancel any appts that weren't a life or death matter in order to do whatever they can to find their child. I also think it sounds like she took off very abruptly. Did she mention to anybody previously that she had a doctor's appt? I hope she is found soon and can provide some answers, but as of right now it is giving me a very uneasy feeling.:unsure:

more curious to me than her taking off for the doctors appt is that LE went to find her. That is a fast and strong reaction to someone saying "im going to a doctors appt"

THAT is extremely curious.

I would have thought LE would have checked out Crystal's alibi from day one?

Her mother said that she and Chad were at their home/trailer (in her yard) in Baker County, Florida. FWTW.

Why?????? if he is innocent and IMO he is, why feed the attorney`s??
I would suggest to everyone that LE has strongly suggested to Ronald that he not speak to media so the attention can get back on Haleigh instead of him.
As far as the mother`s side of the family, maybe LE wants them to keep running their gator. I am sure LE is analyzing every word spoken by Crystal and her family including her boy friend.

Someone posted her boy friend would NOT be liable for paying Crystal`s child support. You are absolutely correct. BUT......... Is he going to stand by and see her go to jail for contempt of court or will he pay it for her??? Just something to think about.

I think you're probably right about LE asking RC to cool it in the talking dept. When my ex-late husband kidnapped my kids after we split up (a disgustingly sordid break up btw), I was asked by LE not to discuss anything pertaining to the kidnap with anyone because all anyone was interested in was him stabbing me before pushing me off a building and closing me in a suitcase - the kids being missing were of secondary importance. At the time, I was just about to turn 19 and didn't know better than to answer any and all questions put to me and was unintentionally feeding into the sensationalism.

Maybe in her heart she knows that they may have found Haleigh and they need it for comparison. I am not saying that is it but I know I wouldn't want to face that either. IMOO

OR it's about that abandoned house they took her to the other night???

Probably just called and said we need a DNA sample...the odd thing is why would that request make her run off?

maybe that request coming after the cadaver dogs were back on the property is what spooked her.

Oh you could be right. Maybe that is where she hid out and waited to get Haleigh. I so hope she does have her and she if safe. I hope this with all my heart.

I am in agreement here. She might just be afraid of knowing that they need the Mother's DNA for ID. Remember, the news media always makes things more serious than it is.....

I wonder if they found some evidence in the abandoned home, and took her there to see her reaction? It seems like they would take Ron since Haleigh lived with him. I mean, at least took him as well. I just don't know what to think of any of this. I wonder if she does have Haleigh hidden somewhere, and is now on the run with her?

Not today. Today it was reported that LE wanted her DNA, she knew that and left anyway to go to the doctor. Have heard nothing since about her whereabouts.

Haleigh Search Moves to Nearby Dumpster

SATSUMA, FL -- Late Thursday afternoon, investigators, who have had their busiest day in about a week, went to the neighborhood behind Haleigh Cummings' house and began searching through a construction dumpster.

After 5 p.m., the search moved into the Villas neighborhood, which is just on the other side of a fence from where Ronald and Haleigh Cummings' house is.

First Coast News Erich Spivey says investigators were following a tip from area neighbors.

It is not clear if this is the first time this area has been searched, or specifically what searchers are after as they looked through the large dumpster.

Not saying it is the case here, but some people who don't have insurance, and even some that do use urgent care centers as their primary Doctor so to speak. They are open after usual hours. IMO

However, it has been a couple of hours so I think perhaps she may not have actually been 100% truthful about having a Dr. appointment. Again, IMO.

Wow, I can't help but notice Crystal is keeping HER Dr.s appt. when she wasn't so hot about Haleigh's appointments. :confused:

My thoughts exactly. Here's a mother who can't be bothered to take her daughter to the doctor for treatments to maintain her health. But when asked by LE to stay home for a 2-min test that might help find or identify her daughter, scoots out the door fast to get herself to the doctor. There's something very wrong with this picture.

She never arrived at the Dr's office. The LE went to the Dr office and she was not there. Maybe another Dr's office? Why suddenly take off when she was notified the LE were coming by to get her for a DNA sample. Why not answer her cell phone or make a call back on where the LE can find her?

I think she is on the lam.

I really hadn't considered Crystal a suspect but it would explain why Haleigh didn't make any noise....if it was her Mother taking her out of bed IMOKatie..when I was going over event in my head that is the one thing I kept coming back to. I know children sleep hard and some do not wake up even when you move them but an "unknown" person/kidnapper could not have taken that chance of Haleigh not waking up and screaming her head off. IF..BIG IF...it was Crystal then Haleigh would not have been scared and if Crystal told her to be quite..IMO Haleigh would have done so. I hope I am so wrong. I have not thought of Crystal as a suspect what so ever but this thought keeps coming around. I PRAY this case does not end the way the last case ended. I PRAY this little girl is alive. jmo
