    The Little Girl Who Vanished: HaLeigh Cummings || Part 2

    Disclaimer: Gina tried to do something new with her audio set up and failed miserably. Please forgive her underwater sound this week.  Part two of our deep dive into the HaLeigh Cummings case picks up where the investigation gets darker — and more complicated. Within days of HaLeigh's disappearance, Misty Croslin's story had already changed multiple times. She gave different versions to law enforcement and the media, failed every polygraph she took (despite publicly claiming otherwise), and investigators received tips suggesting she may not have even been in the home when HaLeigh went missing. By August 2009 — on what would have been HaLeigh's sixth birthday — authorities made it official: they did not believe a stranger had taken her. The physical evidence contradicted Misty's account, and she, they said, held the answers. In a bizarre turn, Ronald Cummings and Misty married in March 2009 — while searches for HaLeigh were still actively underway. By October, they had divorced. Both returned to drug use, which opened the door for investigators to run a sting operation. Over two months, an undercover detective purchased thousands of dollars in oxycodone and hydrocodone from Misty, Ronald, and three others. Misty was present at every single transaction. When all five were arrested in January 2010, investigators hoped the weight of the drug trafficking charges — minimums of 25 years — would finally shake loose the truth about HaLeigh. What followed was one of the most gut-wrenching moments in this case: a detailed, disturbing confession from Misty's brother Tommy about what happened to HaLeigh — followed by a three-day river search, a recovered concrete block, and then a full retraction. Tommy admitted he had made the entire story up. Misty was sentenced to 25 years. Ronald took a plea deal for 15. And HaLeigh has never been found.  A retired state investigator went on record with his theory: the child accidentally ingested drugs and someone panicked and disposed of her body. We close this episode by bringing it back to HaLeigh herself — who she was, what she looked like, and how you can still help.  If you have information about the HaLeigh Cummings disappearance, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office tip line is 1-888-277-8477.

  2. The Little Girl Who Vanished: HaLeigh Cummings || Part 1

    -2 dias

    The Little Girl Who Vanished: HaLeigh Cummings || Part 1

    Disclaimer: Gina tried to do something new with her audio set up and failed miserably. Please forgive her underwater sound this week.  On February 10, 2009, five-year-old HaLeigh Ann-Marie Cummings vanished from her home in Satsuma, Florida — a small rural community along the St. Johns River in Putnam County. Her disappearance became one of the most heartbreaking and confounding missing child cases in Florida true crime history. In this episode of Weird True Crime, hosts Amber and Gina introduce us to HaLeigh: a curly-haired kindergartner at Browning Pearce Elementary School who loved nail polish, mac and cheese, and taking care of her baby brother. Her family called her "little mama." She was 39 pounds, five years old, and by every account, completely adored. We walk through the family background — the custody battle between her father Ronald Cummings and her mother Crystal Sheffield, the move to rural Satsuma, and the arrival of 17-year-old Misty Croslin, who had been living in the home and watching the children while Ronald worked second shift. On the night of February 9th into the early morning hours of February 10th, Ronald was at work. Misty was the only adult present. When Ronald came home at 3:25am, HaLeigh was gone. Within minutes, a 911 call went out — and within hours, investigators were already questioning whether the scene they found told the true story of what happened that night. This episode covers the initial search, the AMBER Alert, the FBI response, and the deeply troubling physical evidence: no forced entry, an undisturbed pile of laundry in front of the back door, HaLeigh's Hannah Montana shirt found in a place it shouldn't have been, and a crime scene that investigators would later describe as possibly staged. Misty Croslin's first account of the night begins to unravel almost immediately. If you're researching the HaLeigh Cummings case, Florida missing children cases, or true crime cold cases involving child disappearances, this is the episode to start with. 📢 Follow & Subscribe: Subscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrime Website: www.weirdtruecrime.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrime TikTok: www.tiktok.com/weirdtruecrime YouTube: www.youtube.com/@weirdtruecrime Email: weirdtruecrime@gmail.com Music by - @djantonyflower ⭐ Leave a 5-star review if you enjoy the show Proud Member of Fire Eyes Media LLC Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weird-true-crime--5679751/support.

    What Melissa Left: The Disappearance of Melissa Casias | Episode 2: 40 Minutes

    Melissa Casias dropped lunch off to her daughter Sierra at 12:57 p.m. on June 26, 2025. She sent her last text at 1:33 p.m. At 1:38 p.m., her phone was reset. At 2:18 p.m., surveillance footage from a home on Highway 518 captured a woman with a black backpack walking eastbound. That's 40 minutes — almost exactly the walking distance between the Casias home and that location. A coincidence? Gina and Amber don't think so. In this episode, they pick up where Part One left off: the days and weeks following Melissa's disappearance, the organized searches, Mark Casias's recorded phone calls, the disturbing patterns emerging from inside the marriage, and the surveillance footage that raises more questions than it answers. 🚨 If You Have Information New Mexico State Police: (505) 425-6771  Crime Stoppers (anonymous): (505) 843-STOP | Text ABQCS to 738477 Find Melissa Mondragon Casias on Facebook GoFundMe Reward Fund Sources New Mexico State Police Report — on file FBI: No-Body Homicide Cases — A Practical Approach (Special Agent Michael Yoder) Recorded Phone Calls provided by family Interview Transcript with Trudy and Jazmin Weird True Crime is an independent true crime podcast.
