Feb. 9, 2009 is the day that 5-year-old Haleigh disappeared out of her Satsuma home in the middle of the night.
Hello Haleigh, it's been 13 years today.
We haven't forgotten you, sweet angel girl.
Hope Butterbean is having a good life.
Here's to my friends on the Haleigh threads, the Haleigh faithful, the Scanner thread alums ... I hope you are all doing well and enjoying life.
Ron self-medicating to mask his pain and guilt.
Sympathy to all who loved Haleigh.

from October 2022 - just upon Ron's first release - a recap of Haleigh's missing case
(see link above for full story and case timeline published last October.)
"It has been 13 years since a call came to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office about the disappearance of 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings. Her case has never been solved.
Several people, including her father Ronald Cummings and his then-girlfriend Misty Croslin who was watching her that night, were charged during the lengthy search and investigation. But none of the arrests was directly related to her disappearance.
Wednesday, the 38-year-old Cummings was released from his 15-year mandatory minimum drug-trafficking sentence in 2010, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. The department said he qualified for incentive gain time after serving 85% of his prison sentence under state law.
Meanwhile Croslin, 30, is serving her 25-year drug sentence and with a scheduled release date of June 17, 2031, according to the Department of Corrections.
The others arrested with them in the drug-trafficking investigation were Croslin's brother Hank "Tommy" Croslin Jr., Donna Brock and Hope Sykes. Croslin Jr., 36, is scheduled to be released March 12, while Brock, 56, was released Monday and Sykes, 31, is to be released Nov. 12, according to the state.
Haleigh, widely presumed dead, would be 19 today. Theories and speculation about what actually happened have never been proven amid the lies, leads and frequent developments in the case. Following is a rundown of key events...."
