Child investigator unveils the dark and disturbing details of the 10-year old unsolved case of 5-year-old Haley Anarie Cummings. Born into a troubled family situation where drug trafficking, underage caretakers, and possible substance influence were the norm, Haley never stood a chance. The murky details of this case have baffled investigators for over a decade, with more questions than answers emerging as time goes on.
Haley’s parents, Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield, had a tumultuous relationship with accusations of drug use and violence thrown around during a nasty custody battle. Despite Crystal’s struggles and accusations against Ronald, the courts awarded primary custody to Ronald due to his job and benefits, leaving Crystal with limited visitation rights. Haley, diagnosed with Turner Syndrome, missed important medical appointments, showing signs of neglect and lack of care.
The night of her disappearance, on February 9th, 2009, Haley was left in the care of Ronald’s new girlfriend, Misty Croslin, who had a history of rebellious behavior and dropped out of school. Misty’s inconsistent and changing stories, including multiple failed polygraph tests, have led investigators to believe she knows more than she’s willing to share.
The search for Haley involved over 200 law enforcement members, countless volunteers, and nationwide media attention. Despite draining ponds, following up on leads, and interrogating suspects, Haley’s whereabouts remain a mystery.
The case took a bizarre turn when Ronald and Misty, amidst the search for Haley, got married, drawing criticism and suspicion from the public. Misty’s involvement in drug trafficking, failed polygraphs, and changing stories escalated, ultimately landing her behind bars until 2031.
Ronald, released from prison in 2022, found himself in trouble once again on Christmas day, leading to a series of arrests and a return to jail. Crystal Griffin, Haley’s mother, has faced her own legal troubles, adding to the tumultuous nature of Haley’s family.
As the case remains unsolved, theories and speculation continue to circulate. Some think Misty’s brother, Tommy, was involved, while others suspect Misty herself of foul play. The lack of hard evidence and the passage of time have left Haley’s fate unknown and her justice delayed.
The tragic story of Haley Cummings serves as a stark reminder of the dangers children face in unstable and neglectful environments. As investigators continue to seek answers, we can only hope that one day Haley will receive the justice and closure she deserves.

Another unfortunate reminder to keep the ones you love extra close and hug them extra tight. xx

I remember this case and not being able to watch interviews with his mumbling ass because he just makes me sick to look at or listen to. This poor girl never had a chance in life. Absolutely heartbreaking.
@user-xy4mr9hk2b
Here we go again, trusting a child around a partner he/she barely know. In this case a teenager
@user-qg6fm2nb2y
I feel like this is the oublic school system. Those 2 are obviously uneducated! 😢
@user-qg6fm2nb2y
You look so beautiful and glowy! ❤❤❤
@lisagattis163
I vividly remember this case! She was never found! Just awful!

The impromptu wedding seems less like a matter of screwed-up priorities and more like a way for both parties to avoid having to testify against each other.
@jamiefoushee3300
Why are none of these reporters asking him about basically being a pedo?! He was 25 and she was 17! And from what I understand she's as mature as a 14 year old. What could a 25 year old man have in common with a 17 year old?? This whole situation is all wrong! Misty absolutely 100% has something to do with the disappearance. I think the dad knows what happened. He might not have been involved but he knows what happened.
@jackiejacques3768
Little Mistyknows what happened
@soniawelcher8159
I believe that the child is dead. I am just basically saying mistey knows what really happened. I guess only God has the answers. I pray that justice comes for the child. 😢😢😢
@Pokedawn100
Misty looks like a child.
@ManicPrincess
Idk, if i were Ronald, i can just imagine I'd never be okay either.
@justinlezu793
That’s one good lookin true crimer
@cherylperry2910
Misty mastermind for Haileys disappearance. Drugs are at the root for her disappearance.
@user-ho3cf3qd2c
I really like your hair cut. I haven’t watched you for 9 months or so. It so sad about Haleigh.
@linda7363
Every child deserves a parent…not every parent deserves a child😢
@JustBecause.
This couple is quite a pair!! Misty is guilty of at least negligence and Ronald is a serial predator of young women!! Misty is a liar and knows more than she has ever shared!! Drugs are key to this csse!! Shame on all of the people who failed Haleigh!!😢 May there be justice for Haleigh 💔
@user-bc9hf6ur7h
Thank you for starting off with saying that all teen parents aren’t bad parents. I had my children at 17,19 and 21. And I am really trying my best.
@kimslygh4758
What a messed up family! RIP Haleigh little girl ❤
@TM-cv1gm
I followed this case closely while it was going on…..that poor little girl didn’t have a chance with her caretakers just looking for their next fix. That girl was about 13 who was the girlfriend….and then they get married the month she goes missing.the entire group was bad news…..
@jessicaparks9495
It’s estimated today that more than 3000 bodies are buried in the United States but have not yet been recovered. I hope one day Haleigh can be recovered and given a proper burial
@jessicaparks9495
I remember Ronald and Misty got arrested for drug trafficking and I believe the police were doing surveillance in order to charge them with something in hopes they would tell the police where Haleigh’s body was but neither of them ever confessed or gave any accurate information
@jessicaparks9495
Your tan looks amazing makes me miss Florida so much
@jessicaparks9495
I’m from Jacksonville Florida and most people believe that Hayley overdosed on narcotics and her parents covered it up. They were known drug users and sometime dealers in their community.
@sodaswirls
39:58 grandma found out after she died, no doubt Haleigh was waiting to greet her
@hasajihasana
They don’t ever talk about this case I remeber this from day 1
@KimiLouise1
I was 16 when I met my 34 year old husband
@ajf369
Guilt is written all over her face.. in that interview.. 💯 she guilty..
@carmelhamilton1981
She's a kid on drugs she wouldn't know what happened but that doesn't mean she didn't do anything to the little girl….people on drugs shouldn't be allowed near kids..EVER
