Ronald Cummings to Be Arrested

I am as sick of "Bombshell Tonite!" language as anyone. Although this word is used nightly, I think one is actually going to fall, and I think it is going to fall soon and weigh in with a prediction:

Will this be the bombshell that explodes before the drug trafficking sentencing of Misty Croslin, Ronald Cummings, and Tommy Croslin?

I think so. We can thank prosecutors and a judge who put Hope Sykes behind bars for 15 years for bringing this to a conclusion.


Let's take another look at Ronald Cummings; beginning with what we do know, based upon Statement Analysis, or by profiling, and/or by news reports that have not been disproved, and in some cases, have gone unchallenged. We seek to put some pieces of a puzzle together.

The pieces of the puzzle are beginning to come together. The sentencing of Hope Sykes is the key.

1. Ronald Cummings is a druggie. We have the video evidence which showed what we have all known since the beginning when Geraldo was unable to interview the zombies in Satsuma due to drug addiction. No surprise here. What does surprise me, however, is the willingness of those, including Nancy Grace, to ignore the 'not difficult to do' profiling of an addict.

When I saw Ronald Cummings appear in court, I almost did not recognize him. His weight gain was stunning. Weight gain on jail food? Tommy, on video, said that his own weight gain in jail was due to being off drugs.

If Ronald was using narcotics (opiates) we know that long term usage creates tolerance; where the body needs more to have the same analgesic impact. Higher dosage means reduced testosterone (lower sex drive, weight gain). Lower testosterone leads to weight gain, especially for a man in his stomach. With lower testosterone, Ronald did not gain weight until jail time. The opiate abuse was so acute that he wasn't eating.

Have you ever had an opiate? Likely when you went to the dentist. When you took it, it wiped you out, and you were high, dizzy, and sleepy. About the last thing you would feel (if you did not use long term) was energy.

Not so for the addict.

With long term opiate abuse, the body relies so heavily upon the opiate that without it, there is no energy. When someone who has used as much as Ronald Cummings has takes his opiates, he has energy. He feels good. In 4-6 hours, the effects quickly dissipate, and withdrawal begins. This is a very dangerous time for children of addicts. While high, the heroin mommy is cooking, cleaning, and affectionate. When she comes down, the monster of irritability begins to show. She sneezes, is sleepy, achy, and the cravings begin.

Ronald gained weigh on jail food because his drug habit was long term and acute.

Teresa Nieves said that he only sold "to get close to Misty to find out what happened to Haleigh". This is the lie, not of a mother in denial, but of an addict.

Teresa is also an addict who did not raise Ronald due to her addiction. She was cleaned up for the Nancy Grace show, but she is an addict and I believe she knows more about the killing of her grandchild than she has let on. More about this later. Ronald is an acute addict; long term, and it appears that he got the job he did in order to satisfy DCF to keep his two children. When DCF investigated (repeatedly) they sought a family member to take the children and could not find anyone who could pass a drug test, for had they, they would have placed the children with them. They could not. Ron did the bare minimum to get them off his back.

Ever hear of a celebration test?

It's when the parent knows a drug test is coming, cleans up (buprenorphine) for a few days, and then flushes for days on end. When the test is passed, they go out and celebrate.

The morning after the passed test is always a great time to re-test.

2. Ronald is a violent man.

"How you let my daughter, get stole, bitch?" is the language of domestic violence. Haleigh's biological mother was terrified of him, as, it appears, was Tommy (a beheaded rat would scare anyone), Ron's other ex, and likely Teresa, his mother. Ronald has rage built up inside of him for the many years of abuse and neglect he suffered before being removed from his mother. We have a violent, drugged embittered man on our hands.

3. With drug sales comes bad people. The moment someone takes a prescription and sells a single pill, they have put their children in jeopardy. Addicts want more. Addicts don't ask for receipts. Addicts want more. Addicts may want a refund. Now, the children are at risk for the violent drug users who come in and out of the home to buy pills. I'm willing to bet that Teresa has sold her share, as has Hank Sr. Grammie Hollars (she appeared under the influence on the Nancy Grace show, even as the "experts" were praising her "courage. Ronald needed guns, why?

4. Nay Nay, close to the family, described Ronald as backhanding, and beating the shit out of junior. Nay Nay may have zero credibility but I've met many fathers who beat their kids and Ronald walks, talks, acts, and smirks like them all. Crystal reported it as well. DCF was involved for a reason and had to draw up a contract which Ronald agreed to "only" hit on the behind. There is a reason why DCF needed him to put this in writing: so that it could be showed to a judge on the next DCF investigation where they attempt to save the children from this monster. Too late.

5. 911 Call.

We have already seen that the 911 call is deceptive. (see previous analysis)

Why would Misty need to be deceptive to report a missing child? This is obvious: because Misty is involved. No question.

But why did Misty wait until Ron got home to make that call?

If you read the transcripts, it appears that Ronald coached her with her story.

Even though Ronald knew Misty was drugging for days and couldn't watch the kids adequately, (he tried to get Teresa to watch them but she refused....Misty said she even offered money to Teresa but she wouldn't watch them even though she knew the impact of drugs...want to interpret those tears on the Nancy Grace show with Teresa in her makeover?) they had a fight at 8:30PM and Ronald called her more than 20 times, and said he sent Tommy over to check on them, Ronald STILL had the wherewithal to stop off at the local Stop and Rob to pick up some beer and peanuts. Now that's a caring father!

Then we have the cinder blocks.

Have you ever carried a sleeping 5 year old? How about a very tiny sleeping 5 year old? You don't need to use a heavy cinder block to open the door.

Misty mentioned the cinder block in her account (see analysis) because that is exactly what she was picturing in her mind as she spoke:

Haleigh's long curly hair as she is tied to a cinder block and carried out the door, to be thrown into the river.

Ronald knew all along. I think Ronald Cummings put the cinder block in the door to stage a kidnapping? (a "stole")

You don't think so?

1. He coached her on the 911 call. She needed coaching, why?? Look at Misty being interviewed elsewhere, as she looks to Ronald as to what to answer. Look at the analysis again: WHY is a question such as "how tall is she?" sensitive? Why would Misty need to stall to answer, cover the phone up, and then NOT answer the question directly? Review the Statement Analysis of the entire call. We have already established that the call is bogus by its order:

I just woke up
The door was open
and oh, by the way, "our" daughter is gone. Did she say "our" because she was coached? Or, is it the language of step parenting? Misty had only known Haleigh a few months up until then.

2 So, his daughter "gets stole" and he tells the 911 operator that he is going to kill whoever did this. He is one angry dad. Police tell him early on that Misty is involved. As soon as a State or Fed analyst gets on board, everyone, including Ronald and Misty, are told the 911 call is a ruse.

Ronald takes this information and what does he do?

He marries Misty.

Tim Miller allows a zealous worker to get close to Misty, in order to get info.

What does Ronald do?

He tells Misty.

After the marriage shock that showed his true colors dies down, talking heads begin to say, "well, this won't help Ronald as the crime took place BEFORE they married, so marital privilege does not apply."

Uh oh.

So, Ronald divorces her. You know, the same Misty he said he would put a shotgun to the back of her head and blow her teeth out? Even his ability to think of that shows what he is capable of doing.

Whenever Ronald is interviewed about his "missing" daughter, what is the first, or one of the first things he says?

"I was at work."

"I just got home"

Over and over, he lays out the emphasis.

What does this tell us?

He was at home.

This offering of information, when not prompted, is critical. By Ronald offering that he was not at home, he is telling us that he was at home during a critical part of this homicide.

Misty, Tommy, and Ronald have all lied. (so has Teresa Nieves).

Ronald was a violent and neglectful father, entrusting the kids to a teenage druggie. He could have cared less. He was the same parent that his mother was to him. The circle continues.

Poor Haleigh.

I think she ingested oxy and this whole scenario was concocted by Ronald and Misty and they made Tommy get involved with disposing the body because he was implicated in something; perhaps he was molesting Haleigh; perhaps Misty traded Haleigh for drugs or money;

but they had something serious enough on Tommy to keep him silent, and when Ronald thought he was cracking, he sent over the beheaded rat as a warning.

Ronald is a scary, violent person, and Tommy knows it well.

But now Hope has gotten a HUGE sentence. Tommy doesn't want to go that long and Ronald is behind bars and can't scare Tommy.

Tommy flunked the poly and his lawyer get law enforcement involved.

Whatever they had on Tommy, was powerful enough to get him to help Misty unload the body, which is why Ronald kept calling her in a panic.

Whether Misty gave Haliegh a broken off piece of pill, or she found it, the dirt was so bad that they could not point the finger at each other (Ronald and Misty) without nailing the other; so they worked together. They have something bad enough on Tommy to nail him.

With another scenario where Ron wasn't directly involved, but then became part of the coverup: What would be so terrible that Misty has over Ronald, to get him to help her make the 911 call and the cover up?

I don't know, but we do have a hint.

Was Ronald molesting his daughter?

Who knows how screwed up his brain is on drugs?
Ronald has a very high likelihood of being molested as a child; due to the drug world he grew up in and was eventually taken from his mother's custody but NOT the family.

Ronald, on national TV, said he is attracted to young girls. This is an embarrassing and humiliating thing for him to say. Since druggies are liars AND since human nature naturally minimizes is there something about Ronald sexually that is disturbing?

We have the reference by Misty to laundry and washing; verbal indications of sexual abuse in the home.

We know that even non drug users minimize their own behavior. It is like the woman who slaps her child in the face at Walmart. WHAT DO YOU THINK she does to the child at home, when no one is looking??

If Ronald was willing to admit, in general terms, his attraction to young girls, this would indicate that he may prefer them even younger than he said. This would indicate a stunted emotional growth in him, often found in abusers.

True pedophilia is an attraction to prepubescents. I do not know if this is Ronald. I am seeking to know, if he wasn't involved in her death, what Misty may have over him that caused him to be part of the coverup. Although I am not saying Ronald is a pedophile, I am saying, in certainty, that sexual abuse of Haleigh Cummings needs to be explored and this begins with the adults who had the closest contact with her.

Ronald, Misty, and Tommy, however, are all united in their desire to blame one person (who Ronald has, apparently, allowed to live, inspite of his threats):

Joe Overstreet may be a creepy thing with a history, but he didn't do it.

I think that BEFORE Ronald, Misty and Tommy are sentenced for the drug trafficking,

WE WILL HAVE AN ARREST.

I think Misty will be arrested, to no one's surprise, but to many, the surprise arrest will be Ronald.

I think Tommy cuts a deal to implicate them and gets a reduced sentence.

I think we will see this "bombshell" on the news:

Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin to be arrested for the homicide of Haleigh Cummings.

Great opinion piece! I like reading opinions and justifications for those opinions from people who think- as I do- that Ron was either there when Haleigh died or he knew what happened and participated in the coverup.

Thanks for posting it!

Lottie, you are welcome.

I have to say, however, that I have never believed Ron was part of, nor had any knowledge of, HaLeigh's disappearance. I may be proven wrong at some point, but I truly hope I am not. It would really make me sick to think this little girl's father was involved.

I'd hate to think the child's father was involved even if it was only to not try to get justice for her by helping hide it. But I look at Casey and so many other parents, both mothers and fathers, who have killed their kids or participated in covering up a death, and it's just not so unbelievable to me that Ron could be one of those.

For me, it starts where Ron says to Misty-Why'd you let my kid get stole you bitch, then turns around and marries her! And if that's not bizarre enough, how could any father who really was concerned about his 'missing' daughter have any interest in getting married right then anyway? Life for Ron just didn't stand still when his daughter was 'missing'! And IMO it should have, at least in the beginning when he took time to have a wedding to the 'bitch' who let his daughter get 'stole'.

And not only did he get married, he was out there selling drugs! His mind was clearly on anything but Haleigh's whereabouts or welfare. And if I give him any credit for having any fatherly feelings at all, then it's just that he doesn't seem to have any because he knows there's no use in it because he knows Haleigh is dead....he has moved on.

I don't know who Seamus O Riley is, but to title an article "Ronald Cummings To Be Arrested" is just wrong, unless it's fact. He has his right to his opinion, as we all do. Just one little minor thing, if he knows so much about Teresa Neves he should at least be able to spell her name correctly. And I'll stop at that.....

Mr. O'Reilly's piece is just that...something to take up type space...Conjecture, opinion, his theory and whatever including a bit of truth intertwined...He probaqbly thought it amusing..I found it boring and over-written...I'm just about over this "hillbilly", back woods debacle...

Awaiting Justice, thank you thank you! ( standing up and applauding) to your very well typed analogy to the theory on the board. ( no disrespect to the person who posted it here)

I read that article once before and tried to post why it just didn't fit and once I hit send, it said over 4,000 characters were used and all was lost. Finally I see it again and awaiting Justice told it exactly the way I feel. Which saved me the time to express my own thoughts. =)

I truly couldn't agree more with all awaiting Justice had said. Nice work!
