(Could it have been his plan to do something that would make Ronald hit him? Annette Sykes, Ronald’s grandmother, said Misty called her brother to tell him not to show up at the house, but he did anyway. And with his father, and mother.)

I'm [scared I'm going to lose my daughter. Yeah].

I find out who the mugger is.

(A “mugger” would be someone who assaults another with the intent to rob them of their possessions. Is it therefore much of a stretch to believe this reversal is a reference to having knowledge about the person who is the kidnapper of Haleigh?

Because of editing, it isn’t known with certainty to the viewers what the content of the conversation was with the reporter that he is responding to. The viewers are led to believe though he is commenting about the fight between his son and Ronald. If so, why does he throw out a seemingly random concern about losing his daughter? Lose her to what? The previous three reversals are part of a continuous thought as he is speaking in forward speech. If some reasonable deductions were to be used, who then may be the “mugger” in question? If the first reversal is a reference to him believing Ronald will kill whoever kidnapped his daughter, then Ronald should be eliminated as the possibility. He says he has a concern about “losing” Misty, but with nearly three dozen examples of Misty’s reverse speech there is not one indication that she is involved in Haleigh’s kidnapping, nor who she knows with certainty is involved. Also in a reversal from Misty’s interview with The Early Show on October 9, 2009 she is indicating that Ronald has told her that he believes her. Therefore there is no indication that Ronald would have any reason to kill her. Should Hank Sr. have any rational concerns about “losing” Misty? If not. Who then is left in the equation that Hank Sr. is concerned might get killed that would be the “mugger”?)

Hank Croslin Jr.:

I mean there's something going on. [And Ronald's been acting weird, you know, a lot lately].

Reveal I'm the one. Dreams can absolve you.

(In his forward speech he seems to be alluding that Ronald is acting suspiciously as if he is involved with the abduction. He talks about Ronald, but the reversal is about himself. Could this reversal mean he is the one involved, but if he promotes the fantasy Ronald is the one involved, he then believes this will free him from blame of the consequences of his actions?)  

[That's crazy as hell man]. I went over there to pick her up like she asked me to, and when I got there her husband when off the wall.

My lies easier accept.

(Does this reversal indicate he thinks no matter what lies he tells, they will be believed over whatever Ronald and Misty have to say?) 

WJXT - Hank Croslin Jr. 

(Reporter: The story begins with this Satsuma mailbox here at the home of Hank Croslin Jr. He tells us over the weekend his family made a disturbing discovery.)

My mom and, one of them went out there to checked [the mailbox, and there was a dang rat in it.] With his head cut off.

The mid area was only skull bone.

(His use of the word “only” in his reversal does not seem indicate that he is disturbed by a decapitated rat being in his mailbox. He alleges Ronald Cummings is responsible. If someone were going to send some type of message, wouldn’t they us a recently killed rat? If someone didn’t want their mailbox to be bloodied, is it possible they might use a decomposed rat and say, in this case, Ronald put it there to raise questions about Ronald?)

(Reporter: And according to this latest report filed with the Sheriff's office, Croslin claims Ronald made several comments that he would get back at him. And Hank stated that he knew Ronald owned several guns and was afraid Ronald was going to show up and cause problems.)

It kind of s[cares me 'cause I've always heard it was like a death threat].

Upset because the letter show the injury.

You know, a threat [against someone's life].

There's no mistake.

(Reporter: We  asked Croslin whether the community should even be focused on this incident, if they should instead be focused on finding Haleigh.)

They really should be focu[sed on Haleigh, but I want Ronald to]...

The man already billing us.

 ...[pay for what he's done].

Then I be bullshit.

(Does this mean if the focus of the community were on finding Haleigh instead, he would be upset?)
