Misty Cummings (cont.):
...I wouldn't [care if someone told me not to tell I would still tell].
My
thoughts that would like this animal to answer.
I went to um, [the Sheriff's office the next day to go talk to him]. Well Joe
and my mom, they come and pick me up from the Sheriff's office...
More stress, making it end up with frustration.
...and Joe was
[scared to even come down there to get his stuff. As soon as immediately that this happened he wan]ted to leave State. He come and
got him a ride out as soon as it happened.
Knowing the bastard believed innocent, upset that I'm not getting brake.
The following examples of reverse speech are from an interview is with
TJ Ward who states his title as a private investigator with Investigative Consultants International and President and CEO of the Company.
And also a member of Layered Voice Analysis. He said he used a microphone and the Layered Voice Analysis 6.50 software in his interview
with Misty Cummings. He states that the software will not only will it tell him if the subject is telling the truth. It will tell
him if they are hiding something. It will tell him what they are not talking about from the brain waves out of the voice box and out
of the voice, and it can detect this with any language.
Within 23-25 minutes he says he was able to determine that Misty Cummings
has either indirect or direct knowledge as to the whereabouts of Haleigh Cummings. She is not telling the truth and she has some interest
in the disappearance.
He says one could beat any machine, but he says the difference is the Layered Voice Analysis test is 95%
accurate as opposed to the polygraph which is about 50% accurate. At the same time he compares the results of the two polygraph tests,
which Misty Cummings failed, as running on the same lines of her not being truthful.
He says there are five different levels
that he can tell what’s going on. He begins to list the ways such as (slightly paraphrasing his words) pulse rate, stress, sections
if you’re hiding something, thinking level, how much energy is being used during stress to talk about what you’re talking about. If
that doesn’t sound very clear, don’t worry, he assures the reporters that it is “Very effective. Probably one of the most effective
tools I’ve ever seen in the course of using in an investigation.”
(Reporter: What were the results of Misty's voice test?)
She
had a lot of false statements and inaccuracies for what she was talked about as to the events from February the ninth and [into February
the tenth 2009] in regards to be the custodian over Haleigh Marie Cummings while she was at home.
I'm the lie that planted her with
this.
(Reporter: Now this says here her attorney called you Monday?)
We received a telephone call to our off[ice wanting to know
if I was a lice]nsed investigator in Florida. I was not going to Florida to conduct an investigation. I was going on the request of
Misty Croslin to conduct a Layered Voice Analysis 6.50 test on her which we did. At her request.
She always wafflin' an answer.
(Reporter:
Do you think she would volunteering for it, is it because she not a very smart person and did that, or do you think she is going for
the attention, or what?)
I think she is living a very high stress level right now, and I don't know [why she is not telling the truth
or who she's covering for], but in my beliefs and the many tests I've run with Layered Voice Analysis 6.50 that she knows something
about the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings.
I often were not too sure where her voice start to show.
CNN Nancy Grace Show - Interview with Dr. Lillian Glass
Dr. Lillian Glass is introduced in the interview as a PhD. Psychologist, and body language expert. She is asked to comment on TJ Ward’s voice stress analysis results.
She adds; “I am also a voice analyst. I do forensic voice analysis. So you can do this just by looking at Misty. You don’t necessarily need the machine, and all the equipment. …If you listen to her voice pattern. If you listen to her speech. She closes off. She doesn’t speak loud enough; she dies off at the end. But look at her speech “uh um, like um” that’s always a sign of deception when it’s done consistently. Not always, people say “like, um” all the time, but when it’s in context.”
She continues, “[Then look at her body language]. Looking away, blinking, she has a lot of signs of deception.”
I have every reason to believe Dr. Jillian Glass is good at what she does. Body language and speech patterns can be subjective, being left to interpretation by one person. Making media appearances in high profile cases may leave her susceptible to making her analysis fit to the popular opinion in order to keep her in the media, which in turn helps to promote her business as an expert. By comparison Reverse Speech analysis is objective, and where the truth can be found.
I believe the operative word in her reversal is “predicament”. The definition of the word “predicament” has absolutely nothing to do with the word “deception”. In the interview Dr. Jillian Glass appears to be portraying Misty as being deceptive, or lying. It would seem by her own words in the speech reversal the truth of the matter is she believes that Misty’s actions show that she is in a “predicament”, and therefore the reality is Misty’s actions have nothing to do with deception.
Based upon the reverse speech analysis of both TJ Ward and Dr. Jillian Glass, neither one appears to be indicating that Misty is lying or being deceptive.
Haleigh’s maternal grandmother Marie Graffis responds to Misty Cumming not passing the polygraph and Layered Voice Analysis test.
Marie Griffis:
...I don't have no reason to [fear that this test is going
to be deceptive]. I done a voice analysis myself. I passed it.
That bastard even likes to test at the grief.
WSKY 9-1-09 – Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch
Tim Miller:
…But you know I'm willing to pu[t this out. I mean honesty is honesty. I m]ean I've done things in my life that I've that that I've admitted...
My father he threatened me the lawsuit.
(It appears there will be a story in his book about an issue he has had with his father that was serious enough that his father threatened to sue him.)
...and they're actually writing a book about me. And [and all my dirty s]tuff's in there along with my good stuff. I mean we all got skeletons.
(Is this reversal in reference to something about an issue with his father, or is “she” the person writing the book, and he feels she has earned her money? The reversal occurs where he is referencing his "dirty stuff". I had emailed him to validate, and respond to these two speech reversals. To date he has not responded. Without his response it is difficult to tell the meaning of this reversal. Guess we'll have to wait for the book.)
... but with that said. When Mark and I had Ronald in a office. Just the
three of us...
...and Ronald Cummings said "The bitch had something to do with my daughter's disappearance". And he said that she never made the bed that night. She'd been awake all night. She never went to sleep. They did not have any laundry detergent. [So she never washed] clothes. The only clothes in the dryer was dirty clothes...

WSKY 8-27-09 TJ Hart Interview with Captain Dominic Piscitello of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office
(TJ Hart: You
said "Alive". Anything we need to be paying attention to on that word?)
Uh, no. I mean its it you can't take anything out of it other
than [its not meant to be taking anything of it. That w]e, We believe that she, you know, she's the last person to see her alive.
We're
the lie. I give people same answer.
(TJ Hart: ...They also claim that law enforcement says that's true, you found the bed made.
Is that in fact true or are they espousing falsehoods on the website?)
Well I'm not going to get into what our investigative details
are at [the moment, but they]...
My boss knew
what going on with that. So announced it.
...that they believed, that, she, he believed that she hadn't been to [bed and in fact
the bed had]n't been made...
They had the person in the bed.
...um [so that's they've]...
...[they explained
that to us] when we were talking to 'em from Texas...
...[Ah from the Equusearch people. So] that was
the comment that they explained to us that Ronald told them.
Must not be a truth. Look at an affair.
(TJ Hart: Ok Ronald
said the bed was made, or wasn't made?)
[Was made].
...and Misty continues to be inconsistent about what she says.
And, [and sketchy about those], you know those, that time frame...
...That's what was out in that news
release here a couple of weeks ago. And then apparently Mr. Miller, and whoever he has with him, embedded with him had put out a press
release [yesterday to state that fact and to state the fact] that she failed that test l guess like 99%.
Guys who get into cock fight,
that's who is the adversaries.
...we welcome Mr. Miller and his [search people to search if they] feel if there is an area
that we needed to go back and do again...
Can't discuss this. Locate person.
Anybody that has information out there, you know
they need to get it to us to and our team so we can [act on it. We act on every piece that comes in, and we follow everything] good
or bad or indifferent...
That's a very odd feeling that isn't likely to prevent a guy who would like that.
Hopefully Misty will
uh, hopefully she'll see the light, and decide its time to uh, [delve a little deeper into what happened that night] for us.
You don't
know the power when there are people of blood.
I woke up and she was [gone. And the back door was wide open].
[The
last time I seen her is when I put her to bed].
That little girl is going to be so assaulted.
She was in her bed [in front of
the TV and me and Junior was in our, my bed].
Said I'm not so innocent. He may release the lover.
Somebody
came in my back door. Broke in the back door, and [stoled my child while I was at work].
Girl was well watched out in the woods.
(Reporter:
Do you have any reason to believe someone took your daughter? Anybody that you might suspect?)
[No. But I know somebody took her I
know for a fact].
Asshole's phone number was there. I'm not sure not the one.
[She didn't wander o]ff.
The problem with a lot of tips is the majority of
the tips are people's opinions. And trying to give us advice on how to conduct the investigation. You know, it's not really [physical
tips, stuff that we can follow up on].
All will laugh at you if that state exists.
(Reporter: Going to manpower, and kind of what
the agency is expending on this. How many people are permanently assigned?)
Well what we have is, we have a major crimes unit [that's
assigned to working], you know violent crimes...
...[And we've actually got one inves]tigator,
Peggy Cowen (sp), Investigator Cowen (sp). She is the case agent on this.
Sit down, right this Saturday.
And we also have homicide
investigator Detective John Merchant. He's not the case agent but he's working hand in [hand. 'Cause really right] now...
...we're working this as a missing person. [Because we haven't received any relevant information]...
John's not involved
in it. He's so crazy.
...[to this day that she's decea]sed.
He shouldn't just shoot the answers.
If there's people that need
to be interview in a group or if there is a search that doesn't require us hauling in officers those six individuals can break at
any minute, and go out and [find somebody if] we need to for an interview.
(Reporter: Any of what was collected
which, I don't think you guys have gone into there's been nothing, no smoking gun or anything that you can...?)
I [really can't release
any information]...
...that's, you know, about the evidence. [You know, what we have, and] what
physical evidence we do have.
(Reporter: The major activity that seems to be connected to the case
seems to have been either the arrest of people on unrelated matters, but people who are either family members, or friends of Misty
Croslin-Cummings or Ronald Cummings, or Ronald Cummings himself. Can you characterize what's going on there?)
Well these arrests [are
by no means], you know, intentionally related to this Haleigh Cummings case.
These individuals that are
being arrested are being arrested for other things that their doing out there in the community. But with all of us tak[ing a stance
that if we have an opportunity to] speaking to somebody that might know something in this case we're going to speak with them.
They
raise our value for this answer.
(Reporter: You released the location of the pond, but you're not going into the location of
the site that you checked on that. Is there a difference in that letter, is that why you're treating that a little different?)
[Well
we haven't, we haven't] released any letters. We haven't released any documents...
...[at
all in this case um]...
The only release that I know was made was the one letter at the Saint Augustine Record
which really didn't deal with the [pond, it dealt with a possible burial site].
As we're able to talk, will right the error.
And
[we haven't released that], because it is part of this criminal investigation.
