It was a unique search operation for Tim Miller, founder of Texas Equusearch, who seems to have a sixth sense and a track record few can challenge, cracking unsolved mysteries by making people talk, finding the missing and the dead, offering expertise and equipment to police and hope and closure to grieving families.
But in the search for Haleigh Cummings, hes found his toughest challenge yet.
Instead of scanning ocean bottoms or busting through bedrock, hed hoped to chisel away at the hardened heart of a tortured teenager, a child bride of 17 who police still believe holds the key to a missing five year old she reported missing eight months ago, while babysitting in Satsuma, Florida.
Call it Operation Misty, with one of Millers volunteers playing Misty Cummings undercover Mama, to keep her safe and glean information that he hoped might be useful to the Haleigh task force, The Bald Truth has learned.
In an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth Monday, Miller confirmed he secretly funded Misty Cummings mystery road trip to Daytona, Cocoa Beach, and Orlando, including a visit to Universal, after after she flunked a lie detector because he feared her life was in danger. If she died, wed never find Haleigh, he said.
Only last weeks road rage incident, when police pulled Misty over with driver and new best friend Donna Brock, blew his cover. Courtney Ballinger told the Seminole County Sheriffs Office that a driver and passenger of a blue Dodge Caliber kept gesturing and making threats as they were driving near her on Interstate 4. No one was charged or arrested, but Brock was identified as a Miller volunteer, outted by a Florida radio station.
The information, that her pal, Donna, was in effect a spy, albeit for a good cause, reached Misty after the CBS Early Show flew the women to New York for Mistys two part interview last week. She was sitting there and got a text from Ronald, telling her what happened, says Miller. Lets just say she wasnt too happy.
Brock is a long time Texas Equusearch volunteer; shes worked on searches in North Carolina and in the Caylee Anthony case, lives parttime in Florida and, Miller tells me, offered to befriend Misty with a two-pronged goal: to glean information Misty confided that Miller would feed Putnam County Sheriffs investigators, and to put some distance between her and husband Ronald Cummings.
I was afraid Ronald Cummings might carry out his threat to blow her teeth through the back of her head if it turned out she had anything to do with his missing daughter, then kill himself, Miller told The Bald Truth.
