The story of Haleigh Cummings is a sad and confusing story indeed . The five year old went missing the night of February 9, 2009. The case has become one that is incredibly complicated, even though, many of the principles who last saw her alive are already in jail and have been for weeks.
All along, her baby sitter/ stepmother/babysitter, Misty Crosslin/Cummings/Crosslin has maintained that she knows nothing about the missing baby girl but her story has changed like the tide on the river in Jacksonville, which is where they are now searching for her remains. Misty, then 16 now 18 years old, said she went to bed that night "with" and later "without" the child in her bed. Later on, she woke to a masked man standing over her, or not, or it was a few people. She does not know what happened to the little girl but then, is quite sure her cousin Joe (who was there that night) knows. Cousin Joe was there "with" or "without" Misty's brother, Junior ,who "did" or "did not" come by earlier, while trying to steal a machine gun with his cousin Joe. The three "did" or "did not" take part in the child's disappearance or "death", as the sheriff has reclassified it.
I take it back, the waters in the St. Johns River can not possibly change this much. And now the grandmother of Misty says that she was told that the child was placed into the river by cousin Joe, or killed by Misty by hitting her in the head with a piece of brick or wood. Wheeew. At least Charles Manson stuck to his story, hell, even Son of Sam made more sense with his talking dog defense.
Now we have divers sloshing around gator infested waters looking for a year dead corpse and collecting evidence (little pieces of bone) ,through a tip from a grandmother in Tennessee. It just don't get any weirder than this. Add to it, the father marrying the potential number one suspect and in days divorcing her, then getting busted for selling drugs along with his ex-wife Misty and her brother and you have something truly out of Jerry Springer. If not for the murder part, maybe she got off lucky, not being in this family any longer may be a blessing in disguise, a blessing for an angel.
Yesterday Misty was brought to the river where she apparently pointed out where the body interred the river, all this info from a woman who still has not admitted being there and has blamed everyone except yours truly for having something to do with it. This tiny angel of a girl had not done a thing to wind up in this family of truly confused individuals and she may have become gator bait because of some terrible wrong that was done to her. Why not have the gators eat the evidence placed unceremoniously into the St. Johns? Now there, you may have it, the only smart thing they may have done in years, maybe in their entire life and I hope who ever did this gets life, I guess that's how to bury an angel.
