Haleigh's Father Fights Abuse Allegations
5-Year-Old Last Seen On Feb. 9
POSTED: Friday, March 27, 2009

Cummings' attorney said simply, the allegations against his client are false. In a statement he wrote:
"These accusations were made recklessly, without any effort to obtain all relevant information. Instead, Crystal Sheffield and her attorney sensationalized the allegations when they appeared on various TV shows."

"Most importantly, the focus has been taken off the search for Haleigh by this tawdry and inexcusable publicity stunt."

After learning of Cummings' attorney's statements and the photos released, Pecazio called WJXT-TV and said the pictures might not have been taken on the dates that they were date stamped. She said the dates could be changed in a camera.

Painting On The Wall Puts Money In The Bank For Haleigh Bug Foundation
Last Update: 3/26 7:24 pm

The Haleigh Bug Foundation headquarters along US-17 in Satsuma is set up much like a two bedroom apartment. The first room is filled with couches, a TV and a large table covered with flyers. The second room has been designated as the spot for all of the donations that have come in. One donation in particular has special meaning.
It&#8217;s an oil painting showing a rolling water scene and its colors will hopefully bring some green into the foundation.
&#8220;I know that painting can be sold at a raffle to raise more money than I could just give,&#8221; said the painter, Diana White.

Haleigh's Parents Continue to Battle Each Other via Lawyers

Today, the legal team is refuting statements attributed to Ronald Cummings, Jr., Haleigh's younger brother.
Citing an interview with Crystal and Junior conducted in early March by Craig Rivera, the lawyers say "shabby journalism" is what led to reports of 'Junior' saying a black man came into the house the night Haleigh disappeared.

They say the statements were made by the young boy while he was in his mother's arms, and that she coaxed his answers by putting them in her questions, and that the boy's response was "mystification and/or passive agreement" to what he was being asked.
Specifically, the lawyers say terms used by the 4-year-old such as "squeaking shoes" and "dressed in black" are not normal language for a child of that age.

Kimball & Snider also say that they have heard speculation that Crystal Sheffield received "a substantial amount of money" from Geraldo at Large, the show for which Craig Rivera conducted the interview. They add that they do not know any of that to be fact.
