The speech reversals from Misty Croslin-Cummings and Ronald Cummings appear to indicate that they are being truthful in not knowing who abducted Haleigh Cummings as well as not having anything personally to do with her disappearance. I have more than 100 examples of reverse speech from a dozen people surrounding this case, which includes law enforcement officials, and currently the only person that does not appear to be congruent is Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr. There is one example of a speech reversal from him that references a window. If he is involved in Haleigh’s disappearance, could he have used a window to gain access to the home?
Misty (Cummings):
Hi, I just woke up and my backdoor
was all open, and I can't find my daughter.
God damn it, they went through that door.
(Operator: What's the numerical?)
Yamearical?
What's that?
(Operator: Ok. What was she last seen wearing?)
She was in her pajamas. We were sleeping.
(This reversal occurs when she says "we were sleeping". Because it occurred at the end of the statement, I'm inclined
to believe that both statements are true. However the question was what was Haleigh last seen wearing, and did not include a
question as to what Misty was doing. Are both statements true, or just the first?)
(Operator: Was the back door locked, do you
know?)
Yes. The back door always stays locked.
I'll bet you our daughter's dead.
Ma’am
I need somebody to be here now.
(Crosstalk: Their coming.)
(Crosstalk) Where would he be? I would be running.
If I find whoever
has my daughter before y'all do I'm killin' em...
My use of the law. That guy who will now fuck her.
Got better people to talk to than fucking mother fucker that ain't coming.
Must be able
to tell me something.

CBS - Early Show 2-17-09

Please.
Bring Haleigh home.
(Question: How far away from you was she sleeping Misty?)
Like, four
feet away.
(Question: And how is it she could have disappeared without you waking up?)
...I mean I was a little
exhausted that morn, that night...
And I don't know about the source remove her.
(Please

Fox News - Geraldo At Large 2-21-09
(Question: when you told Marcus and Chad that you were 75% sure
(who took Haleigh) and you had your gun ready and you were going to go get them, didn't you say that? Isn't that a fact Ron?
No. It
is not a fact.
(Crosstalk) I can't answer you.
Ronald Cummings Statement From The office Of His Attorney Jerry Snider
Jerry Snider:
Hello I'm Jerry Snider. I'm an attorney for Ronald Cummings. As most of you know on February 9, 2009,
Haleigh Cummings went missing from her home in Satsuma, Florida.
Outlook would seem is not good.
I'd like
to thank all of the volunteers, the law enforcement, anybody that looked for my child or following tips to clues...
The law against
him. (Reverse speech is known to occur in the third person.)
...but she's still out there somewhere and the one's that just think
they might not...
I admit that there's no one there who wants apologies.
(There had been speculations that he was involved with seedy
characters. Could this reversal mean he has told law enforcement that he is not aware of anyone wanting retribution?)
...be nothing
might be the one that one that brings her home and we still need her to come home.
They won't hurt her, and nobody found a body.
...Thanks
for everything you've done...
And Haleigh if you're watching, baby I love you and we're still looking for
you.
(John Gastar: Tell me about the day in your own
words.)
...so Granny, in Welaka, had some clothes that she wanted to wear, so we drove all the way over [to Welaka to get the clothes
she wanted to wear].
I was not sure who's in the house.
...the A/C guy was
there. Then I walked out of the house and I called Ronald and I said "well, the A/C guy is here" and he said "Yeah", and I gave the
phone to Ronald to talk [to the A/C guy and my brother was there]...
Crazy looking guy. He sees us.
...and
we just watched the kids play in the yard, [and Haleigh was doing great]...
First Coast News 8-28-09 TJ Ward -Layered Voice Analysis with Misty Cummings
(TJ Ward:How long have you known Haleigh?
Misty Cummings: For almost a year.)
TJ Ward:
[OK. And, on the], she went missing on?
About ten o'clock.
Haleigh went to bed, I laid her down at eight o'clock. [That's her bedtime. The kid's bedtime is eight o'clock].
I'll say it. Must
not be thinking I'm innocent.
(TJ Ward: What happened after that?)
[Went to sleep]!
(TJ Ward: Do you know of
any person that would bother Haleigh?)
See I really didn't know a lot of people. I mean I have suspicious, yeah. [I have people that
I think about all the] time.
Thought I would get the adult feedback.
(TJ Ward: ...There's things that you're not telling me. OK. And I want
you to tell me about it. OK. I can see it. There's things going with you about Haleigh gone missing that you know about that you're
not telling anybody.)
[There's nothing that I'm not telling nobody]. I've told everybody everything that I know. I don't know what
you're trying to get out of me...
I don't know. I'm not in, it's untrue.
I'm seventeen years old what do you think? [Like come
on]...
...how [much can a seventeen year old take]?
(TJ Ward: ...Let's
go back and talk about Tommy and Joe.)
OK. Joe is psycho. He has problems really bad problems he [molested me when I was a little girl
too]. He's molested my little cousin at five years old.
Was awful, so I don't need to tell it.
...cause I didn't have nothin'
to do with her. I love [that little girl more than anything]. Would never hurt her. If I knew who hurt her I would tell.
TJ Ward:
...[When I just asked you that], it came up and said you're not sure.
(TJ
Ward: Do you have another brother named Joe? Misty: Nope that's my cousin. TJ Ward: That's your cousin? Misty: Yup. TJ Ward: Tell
me about him.)
He's crazy. He's got mental problems. I'm telling you he's got mental problems, and he's got them bad. When he was down
here, he was only down here [for a couple of wee]ks...
...and he come to visit everybody. He come to visit my family.
And you know we didn't think of anything, I know I would be safe because I'm around everybody. If I was by myself with him, [then
I wouldn't be around him].
(TJ Ward: What do think has happened to Haleigh?)
[I don't know what’s happened
to her I mean]...
Being branded by someone older.
...I don't think she's dead. I don't think she's dead at all. [Everybody keeps
saying she] could be. I don't think Haleigh's dead.
(TJ Ward: Tell me about the van.)
...my younger
brother wakes up probably about maybe 12:30-1:00 in the morning. And he didn't see Joe on his bed where he usually sleeps at. So he
didn't think anything, you know he thought maybe he was in the back bedroom using the phone like he always is talking on the phone.
[So he went back to sleep. The next morning the van's moved in a different spot]. The keys are in a different spot...
I've suffered
in the dudes name and now it's going to feel so scandalous.
...Joe usually sleeps in his boxers. He slept in his pants and sox
and a shirt. [Then there's the big scratch on the side of the] van...
TJ Ward:
Do
you think [Haleigh got put into that van]?
I don't know if I believe you.
[I had, I'm mean just because of]
the scratch. I mean, why would there be any scratch? Why would there be, you know, why would the van be moved?
You look at decision.
You're weren't there.
(TJ Ward: ...Did somebody tell you not to say something about taking?)
No. Nobody told me nothin' not to
say about Haleigh or nothing. [I've never been once told] not to tell where Haleigh is...
