Last Person With Haleigh Fails Polygraph
Equusearch Group Director Says Misty Failed Lie Detector Test 'Miserably'
Published On: Oct 13 2011 03:27:00 PM EDT Updated On: Aug 27 2009 09:10:42 AM EDTChannel 4 has learned that Misty Cummings, the last person to see the missing Satsuma girl, Haleigh Cummings, before she disappeared, has failed some lie detector tests.
Six months ago when Haleigh went missing, a group called Equusearch, which searches for missing people on horseback, came to town from Texas to help search for her.
They looked for Haleigh for days but never found her.
The director of that group, Tim Miller, said Misty called him just last week asking for their help and asking them to continue their search for the girl.
Miller said Misty asked them to help her clear her name.
According to Miller, the call came just two days after the Putnam County Sheriff's Office put out information about the case in a letter, in which the sheriff's office called Misty's story about what happened the night Haleigh disappeared "sketchy."
They also said Misty continues to hold important answers in the case.

In an exclusive interview with Channel 4 just one day after Haleigh's disappearance, Misty said, "I want everyone to know I did nothing with that little girl. If I knew, we would have her. I don't know where she is."
In that same interview, Misty said she took a lie detector test and thought she did OK.
But now, Miller said Misty wanted to take another one, so Equusearch arranged for her to take a lie detector test in Orlando last week.
Miller said Misty failed "miserably."
In fact, he said she failed more than once.
There were three parts to the test, a written portion and a voice analysis. She failed both.
There was also a session of hypnosis, but Miller said it didn't produce any results because Misty was fighting being put under.
Misty's attorney in Putnam County said he told her not to take the tests but she felt pressured to because she wanted Equusearch's help in the search for her stepdaughter.
Miller said Equusearch did not pressure Misty into taking any lie detector test.
Channel 4 was told when investigators with the Putnam County Sheriff's Office heard about the new polygraphs, they subpoenaed the results and now have them.
The Sheriff's Department only said it is not surprised at reports of the results of the new tests.
