Exclusive: “Tommy Showed Me Where They Dumped Haleigh!” —Misty Croslin
Misty Croslin, in jail; our story updated below
By Art Harris, The Bald Truth, (c) artharris.com, all rights reserved
The Bald Truth has learned exclusively why detectives took Misty out to the dock on the St. John’s River in mid-April—to see if she could identify it as the same dock she claimed her brother, Tommy, showed her in December as the spot he’d allegedly used to help a Tennessee cousin dump five year old Haleigh Cummings in the cold, murky water.
“A month before she was arrested for drug trafficking, Tommy walked her to a boat ramp and said, ‘This is where we got rid of the body,” a source familiar with her disclosure to police tells me in an exclusive interview. “They wanted to see if she could give them any details that might back up her dock story.”
It’s unclear if she made a positive ID of the dock, or one that would stand up in court after so many lies. Her brother, Tommy, denies it ever happened.
Indeed, truth, the whole truth, and nothing but The Bald Truth has been elusive in this baffling 14 month mystery of a missing and presumed murdered five year old girl–and extracting it from a notorious Florida clan of alleged swamp thugs, pill-poppers and drug dealers, investigators tell, us has been tougher than pulling teeth from an alligator. So many have lied, or can’t recall what happened; stories seem to change faster than the swift currents of the St. John’s River.
Flanked by investigators, Misty looked out at the murky waters that day, an area her brother Tommy had directed police to search for Haleigh’s body three days earlier, on April 12, according to James Werter, his St. Augustine, Fla. attorney.
On The Nancy Grace Show Tuesday night, Werter said his client could identify the killer, but stopped short of revealing more.
Asked about Misty’s claim, that Tommy took her to the dock and confided he’d helped cousin Joe Overstreet get rid of the body, Werter told The Bald Truth, “it never happened. Tommy says she’s lying.”
Robert Fields, Misty’s lawyer, declined to comment on her claim, but told me he believed her. A call for comment by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department was not returned by deadline. Flora Hollars claims her grandchildren told her what happened and she believes they’re all involved in the Haleigh’s kidnapping, killing and cover-up.
At a recent press conference, Sheriff Jeff Hardy said, he’s confident in calling the case a homicide investigation based on information obtained over the past few weeks. “People are starting to cooperate” and talk, he said, though he did not name anyone, adding investigators are “working on building a case.”
As for Misty Croslin, the last person to see Haleigh the night she vanished, the sheriff said she’s been acting calmer; he has not disclosed why investigators brought her to the river. “I think she’s beginning to realize she’s in big trouble,” he said.
Misty claims she’s now telling all she knows, and held onto the deadly secret because Cousin Joe held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her and her family. He denies any involvement. She also wrote two letters from jail we first reported that indicated Tommy and Joe had gotten rid of Haleigh.
Such claims and revelations, including our story that she told police Tommy took her to the boat ramp to show her the dumping spot raises the big question: is Misty throwing her brother further under the bus to save herself?
Investigators were upbeat when they got the tip that led to the river, because they’d never searched the remote area before. Chelsea Croslin tells me that it’s also one of few areas cousin Joe would know, because he’s never spent more than a couple of weeks with them here and there over the years. It’s not far from where Tommy and Misty’s parents once lived, at 130 Magnolia.
Past their old house, further down rural Road 309 is the Shell Harbour Road boat ramp that Hardy is now calling a possible crime scene.
On Wednesday afternoon, April 15, Misty Cummings was seen on the dock at the river talking with investigators. Now we can report why.

So Misty’s attorney believes her and Tommy’s attorney believes him, who do you believe, Art? Please do tell….Because I am totally confused at this point! They are all just standing in a circle pointing their fingers at each other.
Better yet, what way are your sources leaning? Do they have anything leaning towards anyone at this time?
April 30th, 2010 at 1:37 am
Thank you so much Art! I can always count on YOU!
April 30th, 2010 at 1:38 am
Croslin Clan if you are reading this, the truth and nothing but the truth will set you free. Will someone please tell the truth so that this little girl can rest in peace? If the truth never comes out I hope that the ones involved will be haunted and have sleepless nights the rest of their lives. The older they get the more it will haunt them. It will never go away until the truth is proven. All who knows anything should speak now.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:52 am
call me crazy, but I have always believed Joe killed her, and I believe it was all over drug money.I also believe Misty is scared to death of Joe.and for those who will say she let him take her, do you really think he did not have a weapon??? I also believe he raped Raleigh.

Georgia-Pacific if they go down like Cannon Mills and Tobacco fields…
What’s gonna crop up next to braids?
Sure would like to judge, but can appreciate those who try.
Like Judy…and Jeff…and Grace…and reminds me of a tanker and that grand valdeze (sp?).
Yet, won’t serve no purpose to lock ’em up and throw away…
THAT KEY!!!
April 30th, 2010 at 2:10 am
Hi Art,
Well I am on the west coast – San Diego-Pacific Time…so I was on the phone but on your website…and i screamed when I saw the headline…then read the story…but you know what this is not really news to any of us at all!
What the heck..that’s it…it’s the same..and now the Misty and Tommy seem to be against eachother…how nice is that…that is pathetic!
Geez…can’t these investigators get SOMETHING…SOMETHING concrete on these people!! My god..this is frustrating!
So were back to the “Joe did it story”…well now I don’t believe any of their stories…how can they be believed at all.
I still think RON CUMMINGS is in the story and has a big part in this…they need to come clean and tell the so called “story” that RON C. is involved in…cause my intuition is telling me RON C. is guilty just as much…he KNOWS…I JUST KNOW HE KNOWS….all his actions, personality…everything since that baby went missing points to RON C. being INVOLVED!!!!
Where is THAT “story”! Guess will have to wait for Misty to stop being delusional about RON C. first. (Maybe a few years in jail will WAKE HER THE f— UP!!)
What a joke…and so sad that a brother and sister are now seeming to be against eachother…sick sick sick!!!
Sorry but this is NOT news to us.
Lynn,
San Diego, CA
P.S. that’s it I am a pscy. major and I am going for criminal justice…next!!!
April 30th, 2010 at 2:20 am
Art, please tell me they are close to an arrest!
April 30th, 2010 at 2:22 am
Art,
My comment is above…”awaiting moderation”…by the way…I mean no disrespect to you at all…in re-reading my post it may seem that way…I am just upset that that is it.
I say this only because we all know…the cops don’t believe anymore stories coming from these two Croslins….so how much longer is it gonna take to find some physical evidence…or maybe that is coming up soon? We know they won’t go on just the words of these to compulsive liars.
I just think they should be looking at Ron C. too if they have not. Or even if they have looked at him..LOOK AGAIN…and investigate his mother and grandmother…cause if he is involved..they KNOW too.
Thanks for your update ART…at least YOU get the LATEST update from the actual LE. But they need to give the public more than this.
Sincerely,
Lynn

Tommy? Is Tommy changing his story? What is it now? Who done it? Misty? Ron? Pills laying about the house? Wanna bet because I heard old Chelsea on Nancy Grace and I figured them Crolsins are gonna figure out that this long after the fact nobody is gonna ever find the truth so Chelsea and her story they are going to assume is their best bet. Blame it on some a pills laying about,that of course did not belong to them.
Like Tommy would leave some pills around and not steal them.
Like I believe that for a second. Drug people value their drugs. They do not leave them laying loose around the house as Chelsea claimed on Nancy Grace, I mean unless them two (or three) were partying and had them out to chop them or snort them it just ain’t gonna happen. I tend to think if Haleigh took some drugs, Misty gave her some to put her to sleep. The time line, I Mean she calls Ron at 8:30 and bedtime is 8:30, Art you reported all about the issues with bedtime and Misty, you reported about getting to school on time issues. So I mean if they are gonna claim a pill done it then Misty gonna have to admit she gave her that pill or whatever. I still tend to think Tommy came to steal something with Joe or not and Misty God know, I mean we have heard she was not home and maybe Tommy also thought she was out and maybe Haleigh woke up, God Forbid. Then Misty comes home and Haleigh is gone hey maybe she had Tommy watch the kids so she could go out and he had Joe over and Joe was not allowed over. Then at 2:3o the neighbors here argue that is Misty coming home and Tommy telling her Haleigh is gone. He is not staying to explain it to Ron. Hey maybe old Tommy even put her in the dumpster cause Joe really did not take her. Then at 3:30 when 911 is called LE is already at Tommys cause the dog is barking, Tommy coming home from dumping Haleigh or from his fight with Misty about at the trailer. I just do not see Ron bringing a known idiot like Tommy in on something like this or Joe, I mean he would already have Misty in to deal with.
I think he would have “better people to call”. If Ron is involved I go with him trusting Misty to deal w something she did and told him about and Misty calling in the idiot brigade. The sleep theory makes so much sense. Till you throw in Tommy the psycho and I do believe he is a psycho that could have done this all alone. Just can’t figure out what is keeping Misty quiet in that case.
April 30th, 2010 at 3:22 am
Art,I have to believe this post. There are so many boat docks in this part of the river, maybe LE wanted to be sure & measure any reaction Misty may have. As for her “pointing” anything out, she was handcuffed, she couldn’t have, as NG has maintained. Maybe she didn’t know about this part of the crime until December, but she sure knew Joe & TC had Haleigh that night & should have told LE 14 months ago. I do have a hard time believing Misty took part in Haleigh’s death, but she should have tried to protect the child, maybe fear of Joe kept her from talking before now. Let’s hope LE does their job now & that a Judge will separate the murder from the drug charges Misty faces. She is still a child & has acted like one for 14 months. Putting her in prison for a long time will only ruin her life forever. I have prayed for Haleigh all this time & that she would come home to Ron & Crystal. Ron’s mistake was putting his children in Misty’s care. Let the Court’s act now & put an end to this tragedy.
April 30th, 2010 at 3:53 am
Let’s see if i have this straight. Tommy tells LE Haleigh was put in the river and takes them there and points to a particular spot but denies being there that night. Misty tells them the same except that Tommy had shown her the spot and that he and Joe Overstreet did it. Tommy denies he took Misty there in Dec, does he deny Joe and him threw Haleigh in the river? How then would he know anything about the river and where specifically to search? I am trying to reason how Tommy is denying having part in it but knows where to go at the river.It’s sounding like Tommy is pointing to a spot where Joe (or Ron?) knew about for fishing, where Joe said it would be a good place to put a body. If by chance Tommy is telling the truth it changes everything. My best guess based on that is Misty and Joe put Haleigh in the river and at some point she showed or told Tommy the location. That’s how he would know without actually having been there. Yep, Ron would surely hate her if he knew she was a part of that scenario. If that’s what happened.
April 30th, 2010 at 4:20 am
Misty and the clan were having Drug runs for the undercover Police in December thru January and there cell phones will show this and what part the cells were hitting the towers.
Why would Tommy do this in December after so long does not make sence just seems to be another part of there elaborate prank to give something up.
In December Ronald and a guy named Charles Jones was gaving a supposed fling with Misty,and problems with Misty and Ronald and i Believe Tommy was also involved.
Tommy was going around to peoples places finding stuff laying around to mabe “steal”
Seems like police were watching them very closely and i doult Tommy brought Misty to a dock Misty is not sure about to show her where Haleigh was dropped,And Misty was hanging out with Ronald in December 2009.
This case is full of so much confusion and i think all of them are involved in the deception.
People that do Pills and eject them or snort them are only after that next high and will steal,Rob and do what ever to get those meds,Tommy and Ronald Misty and who ever else are all involved and realize that if Haleigh died because of drugs everyone is part of the death,and will be arrested,Its in there best interest to protect each other then roll over and snitch each other out.
Tommy more than likely stole a gun and traded Ronald for pills at one time and decided to resteal the weapon so he could purchase pills somewhere else.
And thats why All the calls that night from Ronald and the dead Rat in the Mailbox and the fights with the familes.
Law Enforcement needs to go over all the phone calls from start to finish and piece togeather time lines and storys,All these people are heavy drug users that only care about getting pills to make it thru the day,
Joe more then likely left because he did not want to be part of all the threats and crazy crap going on with Ronald wanting to shoot people that steal from him,He is into pills and was more than likely selling them and got robbed and you cant go to the police when that happens,
Haleigh was probaly given a pill and died and all of them would be held responcible so the plan had to fall in place as long as no one said the truth.
April 30th, 2010 at 4:20 am
WOW! Thanks ART(I almost cried- thursday- when neither NG or JVM mentioned this case)! What would be do without you!? Now, this is a A REAL bomshell!
Little by little- I guess the truth is starting to come out. So, apparently she broke down- a least a little- even before Ron’s cousin’s 15 year sentence- do you think it is because Tommy implicated her.
I wonder if she came up with anymore information after hearing the sentence(I would give my next paycheck to have seen her face when she heard).
Now, we just need a “passed” lie detector test- wonder who will accomplish that seemingly impossible feat first?
Thanks again Art- now I can go on!

It seems to me that Joe has some severe trouble with anger management. The way he reacted upon request if he did it, puzzled me. He bent over and cried as if he finally felt relieved he got caught. For young people committing crimes, it is a relief when they are finally found after having had to bear such a burden of secrecy for such a long time.
The anger management comes in where it is said that he took Hailey because he could not find the gun he wanted to steal from Ronald because of some disagreements earlier on that day.
Well, Ronald said in the background on the 911 tape………how could you let them steal my daughter……so, I do believe already then Misty had disclosed what had happened to some extent. From the time it happened to when Ronald came home, she had managed to clean the beds and sheets……..she said Hailey had peed…….but we know now that something else had probably happened. Grandma always washed the kids clothes, and that could explain the no detergent part, but who cares about detergent when you have to hurry and wash sheets no matter what.
April 30th, 2010 at 4:51 am
Art thanks for the updates and hard work! Greatly appreciated!
We know that both Tommy and Misty Croslin and Cumming clan are pathological liars. So in reality some parts of their stories are true but some are also made up lies. They are into covering for themselves. I don’t see that Tommy really knows how Haleigh died, however, he did get rid of Haleigh’s or at least helped in getting rid off her body. Tommy has associated himself to the crime. As of now LE cannot pinpoint cousin Joe to the crime, because it’s only Tommy and Misty’s accusations. Lab testing etc., of items found will also not be able to incriminate cousin Joe. IMO the only way this story would unfold is if all involved were to say what they know really happened. That would include any Croslin and Cummings.
Art- Question do you know if LE has investigated Chelsea regarding the comment she made on the NG show when she called in when Flora Hollers was on the program. Chelsea stated, that Haleigh might have overdosed, because at Ronalds trailer house there were drugs laying all over the place?
Thanks again Art and have a Wonderful Weekend!
God Bless!
April 30th, 2010 at 5:05 am
Art, this is not good news. I hate to say this, but I am beginning to feel that Misty is going to take the horrible truth of Haleigh’s death to the grave with her. If her death was an accident, I believe she would have told the truth by now. Haleigh’s death must have been so horrific that she cannot tell the truth out of shame. I have no doubt that the judge will give her the maximum penalty for the 8 counts for drug trafficking. It is there, in prison, she will receive her harshest punishment. Remember what Tommy said in the jailhouse conversation? “If they let Misty out in general population, those girls are going to have their way with her”. She won’t last a year in prison, if that long.
April 30th, 2010 at 6:26 am
No, Art, Tommy’s lawyer, Mr. Werter, responded to Nancy Grace this way:
NANCY: Mr. Werter, is it true that you have stated that your client can ID the killer, the person that took Haleigh?
WERTER: OK. That`s incorrect. What I stated was that he`s, first of all, not culpable but he does know what happened that night. I had been repeatedly saying that I cannot discuss the facts of the case because it`s an ongoing investigation and I`d like to see it come to a successful conclusion.
You being former in a way law enforcement by being a prosecutor, me being former law enforcement and a prosecutor, I`d like to see a successful end to this. And I think Tommy will come out very well with this.
You may check her transcripts:
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1004/27/ng.01.html
So, um, Art, this breaking news is to tell us another he said/she said theory???? Me thinks SOMEONE needs a journalism refresher course. For shame.
April 30th, 2010 at 6:59 am
Put all of them under the jail.Ronald, his mother theresa, Misty, Tommy, Hank, Mistys’ mother,Joe, all of them. I watched Ronald in the back of the undercover car smiling while talking about how he likes to get high. What a pathetic man. He and his mother are at least guilty of child endangerment letting Misty watch those kids after a three day drug binge.They all make me so sick I want to puke. Ronald is no more than a child molester himself. Always after some young under age bride. Both Misty amd Chrystal were both under age when he got involved with them. Maybe he is just so ignorant he needs to have a uneducated child so he feels like he is smarter than someone. Education is free if you don’t get one it’s because you don’t want one. Lets just all sell drugs and forget school.
April 30th, 2010 at 7:00 am
How could they sit back for 14 months and keep this a secret? The PI need to put the pressure on Joe IMO When he was on tv with his lawyer and cried Boowho……he was ready to crack.They need to keep the pressure on him and should have instead of clearing him in the beginning.If he could shed a tear this long after she was missing then why didnt he stick around longer and join in on the search,and not just hang up a few flyers and then split? I found relatives of his on myspace and sent them a message and I was told he planned to come home before she went missing and he don’t know anything.Also Who was the other person that took the trip to Fl. with him,and did they question that person? This needs to come to an end. Pray for HaLeigh
April 30th, 2010 at 8:18 am
Oh my, what a look on Misty’s face in the photo above! Evil little twitch. There is something “not quite right” in her eyes. She looks annoyed by all of this, inconvenienced and po’d. Imagine.
April 30th, 2010 at 8:21 am
Great article Art. You know Art they are all so hard to believe. I do not believe Tommy told G. Holler anything about Shell Harbour. It was Chelsea!!! I was sitting there last night and remembered G. Holler went back at Chelsea on NG in a heated moment or you could call it an utterance of excitement, and said to Chelsea ” WHY DID YOU TELL ME TO TELL THEM TO SEARCH THAT SPOT” When we first heard G. Holler she said Misty and Tommy told her about what happened and she called in the tip, but that is not what she said on NG. I think that Chelsea gave G. Holler info and had G. Holler call the tip in and Annette Sykes. Is Chelsea starting to feel pressure? Why? Werter told us Tommy did not tell his Grandma anything and for once the lawyer is telling the truth about their client!!
April 30th, 2010 at 8:31 am
this is ridiculous. I always thought when asked by police a question, after they read you, your rights, that you had to tell the TRUTH. I didnt know until the casey and misty stories, that you can LIE, and LIE and LIE, and you wont get in any trouble at ALL. So therefore you NEVER EVER have to admit anything you did, even if someone prooves you did it, you can lie, and noone will ever know. Are laws different about this behQVIOR IN EACH STATE??
April 30th, 2010 at 8:33 am
Misty is pointing the finger at her brother and her cousin. I believe she and Ron are responsible for Haleigh’s death,directly responsible.Misty’s silence is solely based on her twisted love and loyalty for Ronald.She is sticking by her man and if that means throwing her own brother under the bus, so be it.Misty is so delusional and profoundly stupid. She thinks she is the orchestra leader and that everyone will listen and believe her ever changing tales.She is so stupid, that she can’t even keep her stories straight. Misty will crack, once the judge sentences her to life behind bars! This June! Can’t wait.I can’t wait to see the shock on her smug face, when she is sentenced.Yet, her lawyer will have to translate to her the verdict, since she is too stupid to understand reality.
April 30th, 2010 at 9:03 am
So, if she knows all of this, why does she not come forward with all of the information? The longer she holds out the worse it is for Haleigh’s family. Just like the Anthony case. It is so sad that a person could harm an innocent child, and keep it hidden
April 30th, 2010 at 9:04 am
HiArt,
This is great news! Hopefully, we won’t be let down again with false hopes of finding the baby. But as always you were right when a few days ago you mentioned new new information would be coming up. I am going to raise my hopes upo and hope this is it!! I know there liears but I feel some progress has been made at least there talkin Casey ANthony is quiet (other than accusasions made by other inmates) she is keeping shut at least Misty & Company are talkin.
April 30th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Unless all three, Misty, Ron, and Tommy come forth and tell the truth right now–the courts should just throw all plea agreements off the table! None of these kids are being honest and coming forth with the truth–therefore, they should not get a lighter sentence on the drug charges against them or for the probable demise of Haleigh.
April 30th, 2010 at 9:34 am
Another thing I would love to know is what exactly G.Holler told GGsykes to cause herself and Teresa Neves to go out and search those woods!!!! I know she said on NG that they did not find anything, but how can we be soooo sure of that!
April 30th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Although I think that Misty killed her, I do believe that she didn’t know where the body was so that she wouldn’t trip up and tell the police. After she killed Haleigh, she called in the family to help, and they did.
April 30th, 2010 at 9:48 am
That is a evil looking young woman in the photo above. I sincerely hope someone can help her. Maybe prison is not the best place for her, but where else can they send her?
Somewhere in between all the lies, she knows what happened to Haleigh. They all do.
April 30th, 2010 at 9:52 am
There have been so many stories as to what happened, I am beginning to think that we will never know the truth. Hopefully detectives have found some sort of forensic evidence that would indicate Haleigh was in the water, however that does not reveal WHO did it.
Keep up the good work Art
April 30th, 2010 at 10:10 am
I would put the two in the same room together, maybe all three so they can hash out who did it. If they are all face to face with each other maybe we can get to the truth. Also, I do find it odd that cousin Joe left instead of trying to help find Haleigh. His actions at home sound very suspicious. I also think Misty had a bigger role in this too.
April 30th, 2010 at 10:20 am
I don’t believe Misty’s story either. I think she knew or was there that February night. She is either covering up for herself,Ronald or both of them. I just can’t figure out which right now. I do believe Tommy helped rid the body, but I am not so sure that Joe Overstreet is the killer or physically helped either. I firmly believe that Tommy does know the whole story, and is really having a hard time spilling the beans on his sister or Ronald Cummings. I think it will all come out. I know some details we will never know for sure, but Art, I think with your excellent reporting and dedication to this case for 14 months, justice will prevail for Haleigh and each of the persons involved will be punished. I still remember talk about blankets and the van, about the washing of blankets and something about Misty’s blanket being in the van. So many details that happened in the very beginning that we probably do not know, but wish we did. Keep up the good work Art!
April 30th, 2010 at 10:25 am
How can these people keep getting by with this nonsense??? Put these people out in the general population in the jail and someone tougher that LE WILL get the truth out of them!!!! This is crazy…….That clan is not smart enough to get by with this murder, so what in the H3LL is the problem here?
April 30th, 2010 at 10:45 am
Does anyone remember (not that any of us are old enough to have seen them perform this in their heyday!) the old Abbott and Costello “Who’s on first” routine? The answers are all right there but the facts get mixed up, misdirected and with all the mistrust, who knows who to believe? For REALS? These people spin stories faster than the whirling dervish Taz!
If only we knew if Tommy took a LDT until the monitors said he was most likely telling the truth!
April 30th, 2010 at 11:00 am
Robert Fields says he believes her. Is he the only one?
April 30th, 2010 at 11:39 am
I love the way you are keeping up on this story. I think everyone in the entire nation has there eyes glued to this one for sure Keep up the good work. I think misty knows what happened. Or maybe they did drug her until she passed out that night so they could do what ever they wanted to poor little haily. May she rest in piece. but on the other hand if you listen closely to what misty say’s about haily wanting her to have the same things as her. That is more than likely the other way around. Usually the parent wants the child to have some similar shoes or sandles or the same shirts ect.ect. I think misty was jelious of poor little haily. Just my opinion. Cindy Lester.
April 30th, 2010 at 11:43 am
The girl that cried “some other dude did it, any dude!” This girl would sell out her own Mother if she thought it would help her!I just don’t understand, is this the first time the police have had suspects that lied to them? To produce the full out antics of law enforcement, that I don’t approve of, what is the problem? Has this been a match of wits and the police have lost? The Croslin clan must represent a certain element that should be very familiar to a police dept, how did they get such a hold that they have had to resort to such shinanigans? I’m not liking how any of this is being handled now. Do good police work and run no risks with whatever evidence they do get!
April 30th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
I STILL WOULD NOT BELIEVE ONE WORD FROM EITHER OF THEM…..this has gone on TOO LONG!
April 30th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Art,
Thank you so much for keeping us up to date! I will be watching NG tonight to see what you have learnede! I just wish they would wrap this up, find out the TRUTH and fry those involved. Their ignorant asses make me want to vomit!
April 30th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
This is proposterous ! Nope RC and MC know exactly what happened and I for one look forward to justice being served in this case EVENTUALLY! To all those involved ! Every person who has lied in this case should also be tried for obstuction of justice and prosecuted to the fullest exent of the law !
April 30th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
i wish everyone would stop lying and just tell the truth for the sack of the family to put that baby to rest. I do not believe any of them
April 30th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
These people are not normal. Of course none of them wants to go to jail. But then again, with the way they think, perhaps having served time is some kind of strange badge of honor with them.
Art, you do a great job of unbiased reporting. I check your site every day. Whoever your sources are, tell them Thankyou. It’s my belief that the lawyers are going to do withthis case same as Caey Anthony’s and keep things jammed up for al very long time. I want to live long enough to see justice for this little girl.
April 30th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
Sadly I think that as long as the Croslins and Cummings are involved, the truth will never come to light.
April 30th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
I do not get why Misty continues to implicate Tommy if he had no involement, why take down an innocent brother for something he didn’t do If he is telling the truth? Maybe Joe was already with Misty when Tommy came over to check on her after the call from Ron. He would have seen the van it aeems like. Instead of nobody home, he may have walked in on something he wanted no part of. Either Misty & Joe being “kissing cousins” or them with a deceased Haleigh trying to figure out what to do. I’ve always said i don’t believe Tommy could kill Haleigh, but his silence for so long makes me think he’s involved more than he has said. Seems like he could only protect his sis so far but when he was accused and his wife didn’t believe him anymore it’s time to stop helping sis. He had to make a decision back then and he made the wrong one IF he is as innocent as he claims. IMO.

NEXT: ANOTHER CROSLIN CHANGES HIS STORY? Another Croslin other than Tommy or will it be Tommy changing his story again? It sounds interesting already. The walls are closing in on these people. With all the admissions of involvement even if the puzzle isn’t complete it seems like LE will have enough to charge people due to having enough circumstantial evidence. I can see why they would wait until they have enough to get everyone who had any part in what happened to Haleigh instead of having to piece it together. What Croslin that’s a HE is there other than Tommy that would change his story? Keep it coming Art, it’s time the whole truth comes out and charges start coming for the child killers and those who protected them.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:21 pm
They are playing the blame game….pointing fingers at each other. I think they are all up to there eyeballs in this mess. I also believe Ron knows what happened.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Art you were there in Satsuma in March I believe and this very spot had already been put out there as a scenario of where this beautiful baby girl might be. Misty also had this area on Tim Millers list when he was there the last time he did a search. I guess without Ron around to keep her accountability correct she is all over the place. Ron himself even offered up that area as a possibility. He has plenty of knowledge about the gators and places to get rid of bodies. Remember what he told Amber Brooks about the Dunns Brigde? For those of you who don’t. Ron told Amber while crossing the Dunns Bridge if he ever wanted to get rid of a body that is where he would discard it. Dunns Bridge also crosses over the St. Johns River. Ron is a sick, sick little boy. He does not have it in him to be called a man.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
I have thought all along that Misty killed Haleigh. Either by giving her pills to put her to sleep or by hitting her in the head (which is what grandma has mentioned now) and Tommy and Joe helped her get rid of the body and now she is pinning it on them. She was DESPERATE to get rid of those kids that night. She DID NOT want to watch them for SOME reason. Even offering to pay one of the family members to babysit…why? why after feeding them dinner and if the kids went to bed at 8 “bedtime” then she didn’t have much longer till they were asleep anyway when she could sleep which is what she CLAIMS she wanted to do. Something was going down that night and she knew it. I think all that time ROnald was calling her she was panicing and trying to figure out what to do. I also think she got Ronald to marry her because she thought she would look less guilty. If you go through all the back interviews and tv footage you’ll see where she says “I’d never hurt that little girl”. Trying to look less guilty when at first no one suspected her at all. Thanks Art for not letting this case get left behind.
April 30th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
Hi Art,
I have never posted on your site before but I have followed this case from day one. I really appreciate your news updates and the information you have brought to the readers and followers of this case. This story is so wild and it is amazing that you are able to keep your facts straight and organized. I just wanted to say great job on this case, congratulation on being so articulate on NG and thanks for staying on the case! Curious G
April 30th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Sounds like misty did it and is nowing trying to blame the people that helped her with the body. Time for tommy to tell the truth and make a deal.
April 30th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Hi, Mr. Harris!
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your dogged hard-work, and credibility, in your reports. It is refreshing to have a source, other than that vicious Nancy Grace, for updates on the Haleigh Cummings story. Thanks to this website, I can read, for myself, what you have uncovered…without the wild speculation, and outright lies that have been disseminated, on HLN!
Keep up the excellent work! You and your efforts are much appreciated…
April 30th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Thanks Art. What a vicious circle of lies. When will it all end?
April 30th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
I hope LE found some evidence in the water. We cannot believe anything these two say. If Misty were innocent, she would have sold Tommy out a long time ago. I am of the belief she is the murderer and Tommy helped her get rid of the body. Art, how will we ever know the real truth of this?
April 30th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Thanks Art, I have been following this from day 1, it just makes me sick what could have happened to that beautiful little girl. I hope they all get what they deserve.
April 30th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Hey all
There has been a lot of opinions and feelings generated by this case.
Art hasn’t been able to address all of our questions, yet the bloggers have answered some and this has been helpful for me.
The Harris Posse has also provided some possible pieces to this puzzle like PJ and Lisa to name a few, thank you.
So can Art or the Harris Posse help me out ???
Did Ron take a orginal Poly ??
Has Ron taken a Poly recently ?? ( Ted Bundy did pass his truth detector however that cat was wired differently and today detectors must have inproved.
The night of was any of Ron’s calls answered ??
Like many have stated this snowballing tragedy was started and fueled by drugs.
Ron is the kingpin and was at the helm of this gang, based on prior arrests that were dropped and the undercover tapes.
Ron is the root of this evil.
Ron is receiving mail however he is not answering letters according to “Hope 174 Months Skyes” Ykies that a lot, Thanx Cuz.
My sincere condolence goes out to Crystal, Ron and Families for their loss.
Good Job Art and keep it up LE, Thank you
April 30th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
What I would like to know is, what update did Tommy give to Ron after Ron called Tommy and asked him to go and check on the house? Did Tommy call Ron back? When? and if so, what did he report?
I seriuosly think that Misty beat this girl to death. Haleigh was probably acting up, and she beat her, and ended up killing her. She probably recruited Joe to help her get rid of the body. Tommy could have ended up involved when he came over to check on them.
April 30th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
SHE Said HE Said. Time for Taser guns?
Sorry one more question.
Again is it possible that, Ron was worried that Tommy or Joe was coming over to get Ron’s gun promised for a trade or payment for fronted drugs and that is why Ron hid the gun ??
April 30th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Let me guess the next Croslin to change their story………..Hank,Sr.
April 30th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Or Timmy…sicne his wife went on national TV and pretty much blew the spot on his story about being in bed
May 1st, 2010 at 1:03 am
NIC–SHE TELLS ME TIMMY WAS IN BED ON PAIN MEDS THAT NIGHT AFTER ACCIDENT and they fell asleep before Joe left, if that’s what happened. ART
April 30th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Thanks for the update. I haven’t caught anything about the case recently and was wondering what was happening in the search.
QUESTIONS:
If Flora Hollars was telling the truth about Misty’s claim that Tommy and/or Joe raped and murdered Haleigh, and that Jr. heard the couch bouncing-Wouldn’t the police have found evidence on the couch in the home? I am sure the police searched for blood in the home, and I don’t see how a 5yr. old girl could be brutaly raped without leaving blood evidence.
If Misty knew who did it,why did she try to blame it on the poor little girl’s own mother?
Do you think the fact that Misty was at the river, without her attorney is an indication that she already has a deal in writing???
April 30th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Art Harris–
Thank You for allowing me to reply.(your amazing,my 2 kids even know you by name!)My mother and I been following this for awhile right along side Nancy Grace and you.(I could ruin my mother’s neck for showing me this case,Hollywood couldn’t even write this!!!)For quite sometime ago my mother stopped watching saying,”It’s not going anywhere.” UNTIL— Ms. Flora Hollars came on the scene.She was truly amazing!!!To FINALLY–provide some insight,to what the police couldn’t.I never once believed she was lying-I admired her bravery to jeopardize her whole family for the sake of what’s right,and what’s wrong.Everyone knows calls fr. jail are monitored and recorded,there’s a recorded announcement that will inform you during call, w/ that being said,if Flora Hollars were in fact lying you would think police would have said by now it’s false to public. I also believe the desire the police had on wanting the public to know soo bad that they weren’t human bones,and that they have NOTHING was the wrong move.I am starting to really believe it will never be solved.My mother say’s little Hailey went to heaven along time ago.May GOD be w/her.Art,THANK YOU for keeping us informed-you are truly good @ what you do.

Art you think Tommy will be getting DIVORCE papers any time soon?I sure hope so.I don’t know who to think did it now.These dopers have to take alot of pills to put them in bed so I would look at Tim as a helper.I hope Tommy didn’t do it because of his kids.Crack makes people crazy.This would drive me crazy if I let it.I really think it was Ronny boy and Misty befor he went to work.GMS would lie for Ron I think.I pray it all comes out and this baby girl can RIP
May 1st, 2010 at 2:35 am
But Timmy told Tommy on them jail house tapes that Chelsea had an alibi but he “did not”. What is that about?
May 1st, 2010 at 3:01 am
Maybe it’s time to have both Timmy and Joe take poly’s.
Transferring 2 cinderblocks from their original location to Ron’s trailer to get Haleigh, and then to the dock plus a carrying a child is a a lot of weight for just Tommy & Misty to manage on their own.
Also: the gun stealing motive does not make sense. Why would Tommy need to bring his rope with him and Joe to steal Ron’s gun? Either they planned to abduct and murder Haleigh from the get go – or – they knew they were headed to Ron’s trailer to ‘clean up’ after Haleigh’s murder.
Thank you for your updates Art. I check into your website daily in hope that Haleigh will get justice.

May 1st, 2010 at 4:04 am
Art, in reference to your above post, “Chelsea said Timmy was in bed on pain meds that night”. I’m thinking that’s more info than we needed to know, and is suspicious…I think she is providing him an alibi, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he becomes a star player, along with Ron, which I have suspected all along…
IMO
May 1st, 2010 at 4:13 am
I have had this theory-Do you suppose that Ronald has been working with the Police and that he co operated and set up a drug bust to get Misty in jail so she would crack.
Ron loved his baby girl and vowed to get who ever did this, I also believe that is why he married her to get the truth
May 1st, 2010 at 4:23 am
Art,
Love your response to Gator above…just hilarious! 😉
Now..Art, how come I have the two first responses above but they aren’t showing due to “awaiting moderation” – why?
Does this mean maybe you or someone running your site doesn’t like my opinion that Ron C. has a big part in this? Maybe just hoping to wait till noone is interested in these comments on this story above…so that’s why it’s in “moderation?”
And by the way..you seem to be the VERY FIRST PERSON to get INSIDE INFORMATION. Must be one interesting story for you. 😉 I am glad someone gets the first news about this and posts it here.
Wow..Nancy Grace really depends on your reports. Good for you. 😉
Now…I am very, very curious…what is your take on Ron C. …or are you not really allowed to comment…or maybe…i shouldn’t ask you cause if you too believe he is involved…no way in hell that RON C. would let you interview him in the near future if he found that out. Right?
ANyway, can you tell me your opinion on Ron Cummings being involved in this ?
IT’s just sickening that Misty and Tommy know of ANY information but that they give 1/2 of the facts…or a portion…how the hell can they get away with that.
I say if they know anything at all…they know enough to be involved…they better start saying the REAL TRUTH and nothing BUT THE TRUTH or I believe LE and the FBI are gonna show them how much “Fun” prison time will be.
Same with Ron C….it seems to me he said he didn’t really want people visiting him…(I think because HE KNOWS everything is recorded…this guy is being very, very careful.)
But he certainly is not all that careful to cover his tracks cause he got caught red-handed selling DRUGS!
So he is not the brightest person, that’s for sure. And how DUMB can he be to put a rat in Tommy’s mailbox and tell Misty to “watch out for Donna BRock because she is trying to get info. on the case”….who does that if your child IS MISSING And you DO NOT know where she is??
See…he makes absolutely NO sense.
I am so PRAYING the COPS are looking at him big time…i have a feeling they are…and they are just waiting, waiting for him to crack or make a mistake again (like he did dealing drugs etc…) and/or waiting for Misty to finally give up or Tommy to give up and reveal all about Ron being the head of this whole story.
Lynn,
San Diego,CA
P.S. there are many website where other people have said the same thing…look at RON C…sooooo much he has done in the past and the past year…that just doesn’t “smell” right at all!!! Not for a father whose child was “abducted”…his words “stole” (Stole…like the child is a possession…my gawd…she is a human being.)
Law enforcement if you’re reading this ….we are dying…please get something on this guy asap!!!
Thanks!!
May 1st, 2010 at 11:05 am
Thank you again Art. I really do agree with Elizabeth on
her take of the case. I also feel like I know these people
involved. Could you tell me how Tommy and Misty cannot be
charge in the Haleigh case, they knew what happen to this
little precious child and never said a word. I don’t understand this at all. You are the best Art.
May 1st, 2010 at 11:18 am
Nancy Grace STILL saying Misty was motioning out in handcuffs to a specific spot for police. I have watched that video several times and DID NOT see Misty motion out to any spot.
NG tells that Hope was along for the ride and got 15 years for one hand to hand sell. She says Misty with 8 counts gets 120 years. SHE FAILS TO MENTION WHAT RONALD CUMMINGS
will get for his part. All this on the 4/30/10 show.
May 1st, 2010 at 1:13 pm
What! A croslin in bed on pain meds? Is there a Croslin that is Not on pain meds?
Gator-
Why dont you just go somewhere else, your really annoying. This is the second time youve had something to say about the current of the river and frankly IF THE CURRENT WAS SO SLOW THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD SUCH A HARD A TIME AS THEY HAVE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING! ANYTHING!
Its probable that something in the water got to her by now. Its been over a year. The best we could hope for was bones, and even then if a gator did get her it has likely moved on, leaving nothing. Miracles do happen and i hope finding evidence of who committed this horrific crime, is going to be one of them. Art keep up the great work! Thanks for staying on this..
May 1st, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Can’t the cops come up with something to get the truth out of these three? I would put them in a room together and hook them up to the polygraph on all of them at once and watch their reactions to others answers. There are lots of ways to “sting” these three!
Why has Joe NOT been polygraphed yet????? Give one to Grandma too.
I still think Misty is getting the book thrown at her…especially by NG. She is afraid of Ronald AND his “long arm”.
I think this case has been corrupted by media gossip. Nancy needs to shut her ugly mouth now. I only watch her to see what she is trying to stir up. Now she is trying to shift the blame on others.
WHAT IS THE HOLD UP ON THIS CASE??????
May 1st, 2010 at 3:10 pm
What they should do is throw “everyone” that is a family member, friend, enemy, associate, drug user, drug dealer, cats, dogs…anyone or anything that has come in contact with this family( since the day/night Haleigh went missing) put them in jail and put the key in a bottle and throw the bottle in the St.John’s River and hopefully it will one day reach the Nile and be done with it..Joe did it, Ron is the root, Tommy helped and Misty had no control but Ron knew this…They will get Ron eventually.
May 1st, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Art, I noticed in all of Haleighs photos she is wearing a gold chain around her neck, any word on if that chain was recovered in the river?
May 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 am
All of these people need to have lie detectors! Hope especially (if she hasn’t had one already) should be polygraphed and asked every conceivable question about her statement that they were “already ten steps ahead in this game” or whatever her exact words were.
I have followed this pretty much from the start but never heard of her before and now that we’ve heard her filthy mouth, no respect for authority and that she was Ron’s cousin, thinks she may know exactly what happened.
Since Misty didn’t want to babysit that night, did they get someone else to do it, ie. Hope? Was anyone else asked to do it? I don’t understand why not since there are all these relatives living in close proximity to each other. Since Annette Sykes is concerned enough to do the children’s laundry, why wasn’t she asked to babysit? Where was Teresa Neves? Where were Hank Croslin Sr. and his wife, Misty’s mother? She seems to cater to Misty and wouldn’t you think she’d babysit for her spoiled daughter if asked?
All these lies and finger pointing make no sense. If Haleigh was really thrown in the river, then the alligators probably ate her but why would Tommy Croslin confess to his grandmother Hollars. Didn’t he tell Misty to “lie about him” if she had to in order to get them out of jail?
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:04 am
Well Timmy told Tommy that he did not have no alibi for the night Haleigh went Missing, only Chelsea did. It is on the jailhouse tapes. So, Chelsea it seems is lying he ass off again. No shock really.
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:28 am
Cousin Joe Done It. PCSO is dissing you Art. People are asking who your source is in the PCSO. I wonder if PCSO is asking the same thing? Or are they playing some game?
May 2nd, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Does anyone ever post the comments dang? Hey Art can you get the video of Hope in court? I think if someone had the video of the reaction when the verdict was read I could post a link and get you tons of traffic, I mean I do not think you took these photos? So maybe you can get the video?
Blogger news has again proven they are idiots. Stole the idea of Haleigh being drugged to sleep from their comment section yet put together a most lame scene of how it happened, and with Misty giving her an oxy to put her to sleep, COME ON even Misty is not that retarded, unless she thought the oxy was an ativan and cut it up. You know I think a low dose oxy could be confused with and ativan and I doubt someone would want to give a child a whole ativan which you can cut up if she was doped or real tired and kept them mixed up or even if she did not and just did not read the label that could be huge. Tylenol also kills kids all the time. I mean and Tommy just happened to drop by? To wake Haleigh and find her dead? Look here I think some of Ron Cummings actions are strange but he was not there and I do not think Sykes is lying, as a matter of fact I think she may even be ready to be told he knows something about it. But say Ron Cummings is just strange, feels gulity as he should, has strong idea that all three Joe Misty Tommy or one did this, that would explain his actions. I mean he would know his child was dead and have an idea who to go after and in staying close to Misty would be able to rule her in or out, I would hope. If all three were so afraid of Ron Cummings that they killed Haleigh because she saw something and they were afraid he would find out, I would say he is also to blame here. Wonder what he said to cousin Joe about being in his house? Did he say he would do something to him if he caught him at the house? Misty sure has all the motive. No matter how you look at this. She is the only one with motive. But if Joe is a psycho that likes to kill things, was talking about getting away with murder two weeks before Haleigh went missing. Then he may not need a reason. Just a target. Art can you please get the tape? Where is it? Hope Sykes Verdict? Someone sent me an article that said you are an Amber Alert Pimp. I posted it on my U tube. Also it says Crystal took Haleigh. I think the bus has rode on that one.
May 2nd, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Art,
Do you or any of your sources know if Misty and Ron or Ron and Tommy or Misty and Tommy are allowed to visit or communicate with one another? Just curious if they are able to plot amongst themselves. Also, What is the status of Donna Brock? Is she still in Jail? There never is much talk about her. Was she ever any help to LE regarding valuable information she might have obtained from Misty?
May 8th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
JFINTEXAS–
The accused are not allowed to communicate, though LE did let Misty and Tommy ride in the back of a squad car to a recent interview at FDLE…had to be recorded like the others…Brock still in jail. She has told me she made tapes of Misty, so question is will she have anything to bargain with…art
May 3rd, 2010 at 6:02 am
So Flora Hollars said that these three were real good buddies Joe, Tommy and Misty. The best of pals. If this is true, and this was Joes last night, then I would think they would want to party. Maybe not. But seems logical. Did Misty drug Haleigh so they could? Or did Haleigh wake up and see Joe who was not to be in that house?
Did all three have some motive to want Haleigh out of the way? Hate or fear Ron Cummings enough to do this? I did not think about this before because he acts somewhat odd on some points and I thought she called him, that last call at 830, a fight, but maybe it was because she wanted to party with Joe and Tommy, needed the excuse to take the kids to her brothers. If Joe or Ron is involved or both how are they ever going to prove that? What on the word of Misty and Tommy? Just listed to him lie his ass off on the jail tapes. Tommmy is so guilty. If Misty was not telling so many stories I would have no problem thinking he did this himself.
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:08 am
I do remember in the beginning of all this mess misty did call ronald saying that haleigh was throwing a fit because of the movie the kids couldnt agree on and ronald said for her to whip her and put her to bed, I think she did whip her and killed her! In comes tommy and joe to cover up!
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:12 am
It seems to me that they have lied all this time about knowing where haleigh is why tell now seems to me just like casey anthony they would try and steer leo in opposite direction of body! Everywhere but the exact location! Did they just pick this spot knowing good and well they would find nothing just to muck things up further!
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:18 am
Anyone check pawn shops between satsuma and nashville for haleighs necklace that she wore in every photo?
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:32 am
Hey Art, I don’t think Celine is far off the money. But instead of beating her; I think she overdosed her on drugs, to knock her out, so she could party. When she discovered her dead; called her brother to help her discard that poor childs body. I really don’t think Joe had anything to do with it. Just another monkey wrench thrown in to the works. Misty may be afraid of what Ron may do to her when he finds out the truth. Great reporting; please keep us informed; the national media doesn’t care. Thanks Art
May 3rd, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Art, I understand Tommy recanted his story that he went to the trailer at 10:00 p.m. the night Haleigh disappeared, and no one was there. Does this also mean that he didn’t go to the trailer at some other time that night? If what Misty says is true and he told her they disposed of the body at the boat ramp – did he confess to her that he and his cousin killed Haleigh? I doubt he would do that. Or do you think he might have of shown her where they disposed of the body to cover up for Misty after she killed Haleigh – your thoughts? They should put them all in the same room and question them together –
May 3rd, 2010 at 11:48 pm
I do not understand how Misty could be married to Ronald for that lenght of time and not tell him every thing she knew about Haleigh. Something is just not right about that relationship.
May 5th, 2010 at 12:15 am
Art: If Tommy showed Misty where they dumped Haleigh’s body and this happened a month before her and Ron got busted for drugs…why didn’t she go home and tell Ron that Tommy just showed her where him and Joe dumped Haleigh’s body. Where was Ron when this took place?
May 5th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
So unfortunate, with all of these characters and all of their lies how can we ever get to the truth ? I know some may think that I am crazy but even after all of Misty’s lies I still do not believe that she killed that little angel. I suppose and accidental drug o/d is possible but addicts tend to keep their stash hidden and away. I dont even think that Misty accidentally hit her too hard. I know many of you may disagree with me and that is ok…we all have our opinions. Maybe she was so efffed up from her alleged 3 day binge that something happened while she was sleeping and she does not want to admit it. MYbe she went out that night after rON LEFT AND LEFT THE CHILDCARE to Joe. The point I am trying to make is that we will never really know. I believe even if there is a trial with a conviction we still will not know the facts. Bless little Hailey and at least we know she is not suffering. I am tellng you that the actual facts to this drama are probably something we could not even make up. FYI- Itruly do not believe that Ron was involved in any way…..just my opinion.These folks are lawyered up and watching every word they say. The best we can hope for now is that the drug charges give some hefty sentences. And BTW-say Joe did something to Haleigh and threatened Misty and Tommy….what the heck would the fear be ? Like that twirp is so scary….unless there is some other thing that we are completely unaware of. I hope the cops have a good hand that they are choosing to keep close to the vest, if not the case is mildly circumstantial at best. However, if the perps end up in jail for a while who cares why…drugs, murder or whatever. For a bunch of undereducated morons they sure are smart enough to keep thaeit damn mouths shut. Sorry to ramble on I could go even further but I will spare you ! Let us hop that one of these anus’s squeals like a pig in the near future. Bless Haleigh with her eternal youth and peace in heaven.Love to all. Thanks for reading.
May 6th, 2010 at 11:34 am
The reasons that Misty and Tommy never spoke up sooner is because they are both involved. Misty killed her and Tommy moved her body. I am not sure about cousin Joe, he really could be a scapegoat. Even after they were thrown in jail on the drug charges, they felt that whatever sentence they get for those charges will be less than murder. They are both looking for a deal, get out of jail card now after the first girl got 15 years. The problem for them is that they don’t know now what each other is saying unless it is on Nancy Grace Show. Misty thinks that she can beat this if they never find Haliegh and so she’s not ever gonna admit the truth. And the more scenerios that she makes up about Tommy and Joe, there are more chances that some people will believe it. I think nothing as dramatic happened, as stated by Grandma FH or Misty, I think Misty is just a sociopath like Casey and she killed Misty in an angry rage and in her warped mind, can convince herself that it wasn’t her fault because she was ‘exhausted’ and “did not want to babysit”.
May 7th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
#10 Ler…that is a good question!
May 7th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Dear Art, has misty continued to call her family over the last 2 weeks since the whole dock scene? It seems like communication between her family on the phone or in visiting has just stopped! this i find hard to beleive considering how persistent she was about making sure her family always had minutes on the phone for her to call them! Has the jail just stopped taping her calls or has her family just stopped visiting? All of a sudden there is just nothing? I dont beleive that! If you find out anything please let us know! Thanks for everything you do! I love when you r on NG I just wish she wasnt so rude!

Kids will test every nerve you ever had…and then stretch it even farther for the this next up-coming generation or germination or whatever…

Bullets, too!
To lock them away without knowing the anger of why or that their house was just too, loaded with conriband…doesn't seem to make any of this okay for a show.
A show that makes money on commercial enterprise on whatever excites us to buy into their…
For the most part most of America just seems to be forced into some state of saying charge it…bought into wanting something they never wanted…let or loner ever neeeded.
Reminds me of the Marlboro Man and Virginia Slims.

“Babysitting” is a great job..while Mothers work and there aren’t enough jobs.
And what’s that “O-bomb-o-national aver-age toad to date?
Women seem to rather prefer some ‘other’ distance.
And daddies, too…
And good sex and pills for everything from a tommy ache to cancer.

When does Misty’s and Tommy’s drug court cases come up?
June 5th, 2010 at 3:37 pm
WHAT IF the Daily News reported:
RONALD LEMYLES CUMMINGS,26, CHARGED IN PUTNAM COUNTY FOR THE ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER, 6 YEAR OLD HALEIGH CUMMINGS. MISTY CROSLIN,18, ALSO CHARGED WITH COVERUP?
WHAT IF THAT SHOWS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF NEWSPAPERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY? WILL WE BELIEVE OR DENY THAT CUMMINGS and CROSLIN ARE RESPONSIBLE?
After reading hundreds of comments on this sight pointing to Cummings, as well as Misty Croslin having a part in Haleigh’s demise, it is hard to understand “why” and “who” made this little girl vanish. Why? Who? God, I pray that you will bring the truth to us soon! Bring her HOME, please. Amen
