When Matt asked Misty if her cousin, Joe, who is "missing" from Tennessee, may have taken Haleigh, Misty replied, "I have no idea. I really don't know. I really don't know if he did or not." Matt responded "That's an interesting way to answer the question." Adding, "I think that a lot of people might say, 'No I'm positive that person had nothing to do with Haleigh'."
Misty described her cousin Joe as "being in trouble a lot"; "always in trouble"; and apparently had a lot of dealings with law enforcement. However, Misty did not elaborate on the charges. Misty added, "I haven't spoken to him (Joe) since he's left (sic)". It is being reported that this "cousin" had been in Satsuma with the family, but has since left the area. It is believed that this is the same cousin that it is reported, but denied by Ronald Cummings, that there was a fight over a handgun the day before Haleigh went missing.
There has also been a "Haleigh sighting" in Tennessee, near the Knoxville area.
There have been over 1300 tips since Haleigh disappeared. Misty continues to stick with her story that she was at home the entire night. Misty also states in the interview that she "got up, noticed that Haleigh was missing and got on the phone with the cops". We know that there was a time lapse from whenever Misty realized Haleigh went missing until 911 was called. 911 was not called until 3:27 am, shortly after Ronald Cummings, Haleigh's father, returned home from his employment, where he worked the night shift.
The family is now living in makeshift "tents" because their home is still considered a crime scene and has not been cleared and released back to the family.
editor's note: If a family member has taken little Haleigh, are they not aware of her illness of Turner Syndrome? Children with Turner Syndrome have to take daily medication. I have not heard a lot of this mentioned in the "pleas" for Haleigh's return. Would you not put that out there, if your child, that she needs medication, and without it can become seriously ill? Even with her medication, Haleigh's immune system is low, without her medication, it would become dangerously compromised.
