Press Release

April 28, 2009

PART I

RESPONSE TO ARTICLE ABOUT RONALD CUMMINGS’ ALIBI

This press release is in response to the Art Harris article of April 27, 2009 found at artharris.com.

The headline of the article “Exclusive: Haleigh Cummings-Dad’s Solid Alibi?” is contradicted in the body of the article that states “So far, Cummings has a solid alibi. Not only do co-workers like Zastrow tell police they recall him on property [SIC], even taking his dinner break in the cafeteria, but the Bald Truth has learned exclusively that Cummings cell phone pings came from cell towers by the steel plant, and that on the way home, he stopped by a convenience store to buy a few things.”

The rest of the article is a combination of hearsay, speculation and gossip that does not warrant a response.

PART II

MEETING WITH TASK FORCE

This office had prepared a more lengthy and detailed response but it has just been learned that a meeting has been scheduled for this office to meet with the law enforcement task force investigating Haleigh’s disappearance. In the interest of not interfering with law enforcement’s investigation, this office will withhold further comment until deemed appropriate.
