THE ABDUCTION OF HALEIGH CUMMINGS
THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION
I commend Law Enforcement in this case. Their determination not to compromise their investigation by not allowing to much information released to media which seems to distort the truth and keeping focused on the task at hand will enable them to solving this investigation. We all must be patient. But I feel that we as the concerned public have been distracted from the facts that need to be focused on. This investigation began and then continued into days with no person of interest mentioned by police and nothing came out of the “possible” evidence found in searches conducted in the home and surrounding neighborhood and woods.
From what I have learned about the statistics in abductions and about an abductors profile it has allowed me to understand a little about this type of crime and the possible motives and suspects. These sad cases of missing children have been well researched in the attempt to learn from what Law Enforcement unfortunately have had to learn. The forensic science of the investigation has become a art with many missing and abducted cases solved in a short time.
It became clear to me at this point that this was not a random crime nor was it committed by a stranger. The truth is most abductions are family abductions.
My opinion is Law Enforcement would defiantly remain tip lipped if they believed that Haleigh is still alive and or they believe a family member is involved. We all would like to believe that a non family member had a hand in this but the evidence just doesn’t support that theory. It is a family member! Who in this family would have a motive? This is my heart felt opinion and hope I am right only because it would mean Haleigh is some where right now will be coming home soon to her DADDY!
This is a nasty little case that has infected this little community and effected many near and as far as Texas with its web of deceit of smoke and mirrors. It just didn’t seem right to not have evidence of a crime and no child found after days of extensive searches… so I got on my trusty computer and a whole new show progressed with out a news camera and oh the Jerry Springer audience has been in the front row of cyberspace trashing and mud slinging obstruction instead of focusing at the task at hand and find a little girl. I have been an avid reader of many different forums that focus on crimes such as this and have been disappointed in the argumentative posts of members as to the history and economic status of all the players in this case and I feel this on all fronts has defiantly effected the purpose of the well intended to contribute in this search for this little one that is not where she is supposed to be at this very moment . I feel the talents of many are needed to bring to light the truth of this case and hope that others feel this way also.
My point is the information is and has been their to solve this case and those that have are the ones that have seen it walk like a duck from the beginning. “If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it is a duck!“ I hope not to hurt this investigation by voicing my opinion from Texas . I do believe they are so close but I really feel their needs to be a voice to direct some focus on some facts so that 1 thing will come to light. It is a matter of 1 tip to balance the scale of justice here, and that is the location of Haleigh. I pray that Law Enforcement knows the who already and they just don’t have where she is being safely hidden. Their is a possibility more than one family member is involved here and the safety of this child is the most important thing to LE, so there will be no announcement of their suspicion until they have that 1 piece of the puzzle that is keeping this case from being solved.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION !
EVIDENCE RELEASED
02/10/09 911 call 3:27 am
02/10/09 police report
1.) No forced entry.
2.) Back door open and screen door propped with cinder block.
3.) Light on in kitchen.
4.) Foot print on wooden path going towards pond.
5.) The lean to, stick chair, shovel and rope found in woods close by.
5.) Haleigh’s night shirt was later found in laundry pile after Misty is asked to find
Haleigh’s clothes she wore that day to school.
6.) Something was discovered missing of Haleigh’s after trailer is released to family.
MY OPINION ON THE EVIDENCE
The fact that there is no forced entry rules out stranger automatically to me. We have not heard mention the front door being locked nor the front door to the screen porch but can assume that defiantly would have been mentioned and picked apart by now. So it still leads me to believe someone close. The propping of the screen door was planned and it tells me they had intentions to get in and out but also they where planning on getting back in and out with Jr. W e know that Misty was in the big bed with Jr. and I am assuming she was on the outside and Jr. was on the inside near the wall and that is why they were not able to take Jr. The light on in the kitchen was easy Haleigh is scared of the dark not who has woke her and removed her from her bed. Foot print of child was found directly on scent trail from back door so I believe it is a vital clue that connects to the crime. It tells me that it is someone who cares about Haleigh and Haleigh is not scared enough to run nor scream because she must be awake and conscious to stand. The Hanna Montana shirt that Haleigh wore to bed was said to be found at the bottom of the dirty clothes pile on the floor in front of back door and washer machine which are located in the same area. We know it was very cool that night I believe 40 something and Haleigh’s shirt was removed probably to leave behind any type of evidence that later can be identified so I am assuming she was dressed in something warmer and they forgot the shoes which is so normal for us southerners. That something missing is anyone’s guess at this time but it defiantly would reinforce someone who cares has Haleigh and is taking good care of her for the moment. The lean-to, chair, shovel & rope I believe was staged.
3/11/09
LE removed the back door of the mobile home. It has been questioned as to why take it now and not before. It is possible they left the door to collect more evidence (fingerprints) off those that were allowed in the home (family member’s) after its release to the family. It is possible they have prints on certain found items during the search but where not found in the home before or partial prints where found in the mobile home and they needed “good“ prints. Possible on light switch, wall, doors, cinder block, ramp, lean to, chair, rope, shovel……
EVENTS THAT HAVE GIVEN ME CONCERN
It has been stated by many and Crystal her self she was notified at 3:40am by Teresa, Ron’s mother that Haleigh was missing. It was reported she did not call her father till 5am and that Crystal did not show till mid morning.
Crystal and her family have been slinging mud instead of being productive and positive in appreciation of all those that are there for that purpose, the search for Haleigh. Crystal put Jr. on TV with no fear of him being in danger for being able to identify abductor.
“To catch a mouse , you have to lay the bait and set the trap.”
“DO THE RIGHT THING“
Who has lawyer first? Why?
Who has retained a spokes person to speak with media? Why?
I agree she is in need of both but why now? I feel she and her mother are aware that they are under the microscope and they are protecting themselves from the storm to come.
IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR TO ME.
