The Putnam County Sheriff’s office took a swipe at Misty Croslin’s attorney Tuesday for revealing what his client told investigators happened inside Ronald Cummings trailer the night she reported his five year old daughter missing: that her Tennesee cousin had come looking for a machine gun and when he couldn’t find it, got angry, “roughed up Misty, sexually groped her,” then tossed Haleigh into a black bag and left.

The black bag was a new detail that Robert Fields described exclusively to The Bald Truth that expanded on earlier public comments. Read the rest of this entry »

I arrived in a sandstorm, and left in a sandstorm, the raging desert winds etching stings and memories of war few can erase–friendship and gratitude I carry with me today on Veterans Day, and every day for the young Marines who looked out for me as an embedded journalist, and each other, rough, tough, ready to fight– and ever polite.

Moments before he took the stage in Denver to touch 84,000 people Thursday night, I stood just a few feet away, camera rolling, to capture Sen. Barack Obama, as he touched two dozen voters, picked at random to meet him, in a rare and personal way.

“Why are you crying?” he asked, hugging her, telling her everything was going to be okay. Read the rest of this entry »
