This just in from TJ Hart. I think the PCSO press statement is interesting, it is pretty succinct, they want nothing to do with the press. I still wonder about the timing of these interviews, it is still my theory that they wanted to buy 72 hours of quiet time, but the press got hold of the story and nixed their plan – simon

Misty Croslin-Cummings, who police say holds some answers in the disappearance of her young stepdaughter denies that her Cape Cod, Mass.-based brother has anything to do with the missing girl.
Investigators from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department interviewed Timothy Croslin, 23, at the South Yarmouth state police barracks in Massachusetts Saturday.
Croslin could not be reached for comment yesterday. But his sister, Misty Croslin-Cummings, said the police wanted to see his phone records.
Misty claims her brother has “nothing to do with this.â€
She said her brother lives on Cape Cod, but would not specify which town.
The disappearance of Haleigh Cummings from her Satsuma, Fla., home on Feb. 9 sparked a national missing person search. Her stepmother, 17-year-old Misty Croslin-Cummings, says she put Haleigh to bed and the little girl disappeared sometime during the night.
On Aug. 17, Haleigh’s 6th birthday, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department released a statement that said the office has received more than 4,000 leads and conducted 138 formal interviews in the search for the little girl.
They have no specific person of interest yet, though they have cleared the biological parents, Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield.
But police believe Croslin-Cummings is withholding information, according to a press release from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department.
“Investigators believe that Misty Croslin-Cummings continues to hold important answers in the case,” stated the sheriff’s release.
“She has failed to provide any sort of detailed accounting of the hours during the late evening and early morning of Haleigh’s disappearance. Furthermore, physical evidence at the scene contradicts Misty’s sketchy account of her evening activities. Any citizen with direct knowledge of Misty’s activities during that evening or into the early morning is encouraged to report that information to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.”
Croslin-Cummings yesterday told The Cape Cod Times she was excited about published reports that investigators were in Massachusetts following up on a tip that Haleigh was seen at an Abington Walmart. The tip was reported by WBZ-TV Sunday and repeated by the Boston Herald.
The Cape Cod Times could not confirm the source of the tip last night.
Haleigh’s family wants it to be true.
“Anything that would bring her home or get them (police) off my back, would be most welcome,” Misty said.
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office issued this release Tuesday morning:
Media Release
September 8th, 2009
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous requests for information and interviews regarding the Haleigh Cummings investigation and actions taken by the Sheriff’s Office this past weekend. It has been the position of our investigative team not to release the details of interviews. I can confirm that investigators traveled to Massachusetts to conduct interviews in this case. These interviews are totally unrelated to the alleged sighting of Haleigh in a Massachusetts Wal-Mart.
The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office will not be participating in any formal interviews or providing statements regarding the events of the past weekend at this time. The main concern of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is finding Haleigh Cummings and returning her home to her family.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackMisty comments about her brother, Timmy, being interviewed by PCSO: “He has nothing to do with this.” Didn’t she recently state that she didn’t know if her brother Tommy had anything to do with this? How can she be so sure one brother is innocent and not the other? What ELSE does she know?
So, Misty thinks the police went over 1250 miles to look at Timmy’s PHONE records, LOLOLOL. That’s rich! I want some of what she’s smokin.
I have a feeling a certain 17 year old child bride is about to break. The pressure on her is mounting and I am surprised she has held on this long!
i wonder if misty might be capable of pulling a melinda duckett ..better keep her away from nancy grace
I think Misty is an immature brat who wanted a child of her own, but hubby said no because he could barely afford the children he had, especially with little Haleigh having medical problems. Thus, the brat decided to eliminate one child to free up finances and hopefully daddy would want to replace the missing child. I don’t think Misty has a clue how a parant should or would feel about their children. I don’t think she will ever talk. I don’t know why the police can’t arrest her for at least child endangerment.
I think Misty has no idea what happened to that kid. I think if she did, she would have cracked a long time agi.
More than likely someone linked to the dad and his drug past may be responsible.
maybe a drug deal gone bad or maybe a prevert the dad had in his house.
Nonetheleass it has been so long, that poor girls body is probably in the same condition Caylee Anthony’s body was in. This time the guilty parties hid the corpse much better
Did anyone catch that Ron Cummings told Tim Miller that if he had the $35,000 reward money he could bring Haleigh home himself? I dont think he had anything to do with this but not sure if it has anything to do with something he might have been involed in. I want Misty arrested and let her set, maybe she’ll be more willing to talk.
Well, I had quite an experience today.. I was direct to Art Harris’s site, and he has posted the breakdown on questions ask of Misty in the voice Analysis. I cannot express how overwhelmed that I was and that I am. I guess she ane ron need to take time and read. I promise once you’ve read it, you will never look at misty the same again. Especially, if your making the mistake of supporting her. Nor, will you ever believe anything she says again.
Thanks to BNN and all the panel for more insight, although i must say this is by far one of the most complexed cases i have seen. Casey Anthony was just as stubborn about facts and information and yet when we look back, Look where it has lead us. I truly hope Haleigh is alive…but facts are not improving in that area either. Misty is not sharing much needed information to close in on this case. We have all screamed at Misty to come clean, this also has reached us no where. I cannot even come up with a solution that would not violant her rights. i just keep thinking about Haleighs right!!!! The right to come home to be loved and to be a normal running, argumentive,school girl friends over this 6 year old so badly deserves. Somehow i hope the justice bell rings in haleighs name no matter what the information Haleigh deserves it.We just want to see these wonderful bells of Justice ring for Haleigh!!!!
This is my first time posting… Although I’m thinking that Misty has duped LE to the point of embarrassment, can’t help but believe that Ron is involved. I mean really… who would be able to look at their spouse who was “at home” when child goes missing, every single day for over six months and not want to slap or choke the hell out of them.
firehead: Please see three articles posted here on Sept 1 and 2 – all having to do with Tim Miller.
Ron did not tell Tim Miller that if he had the $35,000 reward money he could bring Haleigh home.
Ron’s father-in-law (who is trying to get Ron in trouble) called Tim to say that someone heard Ron say that.

Lenard Padilla, August 31, 2009.
I will listen and reply with the area code and any info I can find.
Love how sister-in-law Lindsey is “bouncing” to Cape Cod for “saftey” reasons… per My Fox Orlando… I don’t recall her stating hubby Tommy is going too, Hmmmm. Finally, family is pulling away from Misty! Could this be the move that breaks Misty and Ronnie’s bond?
Is Misty and the father still together? If so, he is an idiot.
There is no way this man can stay with this young woman unless he has something to do with the disappearance too!
I dont understand the flip flop of Misty’s stories. Every story she has told has put me in a different place, a different time. If I knew exactly what happened, my stories to the Press, Detectives, Family, Friends and Strangers would all be of the same layout. What Misty fails to understand is that, a person’s mental occupancy can only uphold soooo long? When she does break done? Everyone needs to be ready because Misty may try to kill herself and others who are around.
If you tell the truth you tell it the same every time. The truth cannot change. She is hiding something either she was not there and is lying to cover that fact or she is responsible or she knows who did it.
could misty have given jr and haleigh drugs to sleep while she banged i mean partyied on with whoever she had spent the 3 days with before haleigh disappeared where was she 3 days before she and ron had this huge fight
