BREAKING NEWS: New Audio from SJCO Jail Tommy Croslin
News Talk 97.3 the SKY Thursday received the recordings of 6 calls Misty Croslin recently made from the St. Johns Jail in St. Augustine, FL and the raw audio from Tommy Croslin Friday.
Tommy sounds tired and very upset at this point as he is speaking to his brother Timmy as he talks about the revocation of his bond and blaming his troubles on his sister Misty:
“I try to sleep, but every time I close my eyes, I see my family,” Croslin said in a phone call to his brother Tim Croslin. “Misty brought some dude over to the house one night and wanted me to get her some rocksies. So I (bleeping) went and got her some rocksies. I talked to someone I knew and got her some pills.”
About Haleigh:
Tim: Do you think any of this (bleeping) would happen to you if this (bleeping) wasn’t going on in our lives about Haleigh?
Hank: No! Hell, no!
Hank: They weren’t after me. They was after Misty and Ronald. I just got caught up in the middle of it because of my (bleeping) sister.
Possible prison time:
“The damn police said I’m facing three years in prison unless you can help us find Haleigh,” Hank said. “I said, ‘I can’t help you find nobody, I don’t know where she is.'”
Warning from brother:
Tim: We need to watch what we’re saying on these phones because Nancy Grace is going to be playing all of our phone calls.
Hank: Oh, well.
We were hoping to have more video and more conversations from Donna Brock, but that is not a possibility at this moment due to some challenges at the St. Johns Sheriff’s Office media center and the need to further redact parts of the telephone conversations.
Also included is a phone call from Ronald Cummings while at the Putnam County Jail.
Ronald Cummings, Misty and Tommy Croslin, along with Hope Sykes and Donna Brock were arrested January 20, 2010 on multiple charges of trafficking in controlled prescribed medications of oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Ronald Cummings is the father of missing Satsuma girl Haleigh Cummings who was taken from her home where Misty Croslin was baby sitter her and her brother February 9, 2009. Although the drug case and the investigation into the child’s disappearance are two separate cases, investigators are questioning some of these suspects about the missing 6-year-old girl.
Below are the links to the raw sound files as WSKY received them from the Putnam County and St. Johns County jails. Investigator have redacted comments in the recordings so as to not compromise any of the cases that could be involved.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI just love how calm and collected Timmy sounds. The two brothers sound like day and night, I am amazed, fascinated and a bit revolted by all this. Yet, I am enjoying my chocolate cake as I listen to the tapes. (((( bad me))))
TJ or Simon, what are the dates these calls were made? Thank you!
They all disgust me. Totally.
Christine,
Truer words were never spoken. Sums up my feelings on this bunch.
Wow…..tapes contain LOVE LOVE LOVE to each other but when they’re together boy do they fight.
So Tommy wants toothbrush and paste, ciggies, socks and money for comissary…but no public defender…..LOL
he complains about his weight loss and he wants OUT OUT badly.
Big shots on the outside but this shows me what little scanks they really are.
If they ever did get out they’d be right back dealing and selling.
They need to stay right where they are…and sweat it out.
Yes they do, they all need to stay put. While Ronald is living his fantasy out by playing big man on campus in the clink, wanting his chains, so he can represent…. Misty may actually be benefiting from this little vacation in the sky. No drugs, a ged to be had, learning how to read, hey – the sky is the limit Misty. She’s put a great deal of thought into her latest surroundings, if only she could put that amount of focus on the night Haleigh vanished into thin air. The best possible place for Misty to be right now is jail.
How sad to say, prison will benefit Misty more than anything she has had in her past. Where her parents failed her, Ronald failed her, her community failed her, the prison system will pick up and she will learn and she will read and she will suddenly realize the magnitude of what just transpired over the past 12 months. Only then will she utter the truthful words of what happened to Haleigh last February.
Ronald needs to be arrested for having sex with brain dead girls,He has a pattern of girls young and dumb.Thats one reason he is not in population he will get his punk mouth busted up,and they will be taking his mouth in the shower and treating it like a 15 year old girl.
actually, tommy was the only one that should alittle care for someone else. When he was whining about not eating much, his brother said he would send $120.00 to his commissary. Tommy said, “You don’t even have to do that bro, just make sure lynsey has minutes on her phone so I can talk to her.” Thats the only time any of these freaks thought about anyone other than themselves, and even this was so HE can talk to his Ol’ lady so I guess it was still abit selfish. He’s probably just worried that she will find a real man to co-parent his children. Gosh there I go…I wasn’t going to be mean spirited about these people for one day to see if it was just me or if I was actually right about my thoughts. Man, I just gotta’ step baqck for awhile….I am not mean…not ever…but these selfish people just bring out the worst in me. prayer doesn’t even help me understand…I’m losin’ it. If you don’t see any comments from me for a few days, its simply because I gotta’ distance myself for awhile and try to get my thoughts straight. bye for now. hugs methinks

xxxxxxxxxif she can remember.
my 11:49 post should have read “showed” not should
methinks, I have had to take a break from this more than once. This case is emotionally draining!!!! There is nothing we do more to help Haleigh than to pray for her. You can keep praying and just stop reading the blog for a few days. It will be refreshing!!!!!
Methinks, we hate to see you split, but… you gotta do what, you gotta do!!! It’s very sad when some can not be as honest as they should be, when it comes to LIFE and ISSUES!!! We are here for you NOW, and we WILL be here for you when you RETURN. TAKE CARE OF YOU!!!
The Crosin’s think that F— word is a noun, ver, adj. and adverb. I think we are the ones that need prayer after listening to them talk.
Did any of you notice how fast Ron changed the subject when GGSykes was talking about she and TN coming to see him? I didn’t get the feeling he was anxious to see them. Maybe, because they are so emotional, and it gets to him. He didn’t sound like he was lonely or upset, except for the drawer situation. He wanted his chains, and he was playing cards and visiting with people. He may be king of the prisons before this is all over.
If they have revoked Tommy’s bail, Misty’s will probably be next. They will fix it so Leonard or noone else can’t get them out this time, from the way it looks. They need to stay in and dry out, and talk. IMO
Something dawned on me as I listened to this call….something that hadn’t occurred to me through all 6 of Misty’s calls……
Timmy nor Chelsea mention a pay day other than taxes comming up. Tommy asks what Timmy has been up to, his answer “You know, hangin around the house. Nothing to do”. SO are either of them even working? I understand that any salaries earned would be needed by the family but most family members would go ahead and use some of it, especially if they are exspecting a “windfall” like tax refund(s).
I didn’t hear Tommy tell Timmy even once “Thank you! For giving mom, dad, Misty & Lindsey money on their phone accounts so we can all talk. Thank you Brother! I really appreciate what you’re doing”
Sad huh?
ANother thing…about the F word. It is a psycological indication of how they live their lives. They live on the basest level. Raw instincts. Food, sex, bodily functions, and that’s about it. The constant use of the f word shows that foremost in their minds is the lack of sex they are facing throughout their sentences. Tommy’s gut instinct is fear about Linsay finding sex with another while he is gone. A very real possibility. Not particularly where his head should be at right now though. BTW “This or that SUX” is also a sexual reference, orally speaking.
THe constant “I love you”s are just sad. I do believe they feel something for eachother and possibly even love on some level. I just hate the fact that NONE of the Croslins, especially, seem to understand that REAL & TRUE love is what keeps you from giving in to temptation. The real awareness that an action can have serious reprocussions upon one’s family, thus they choose not to take a particular action or participate in one BECAUSE they really do love thier family member(s). Not some fairweathered emotions that are only present when one is in need of another.
If Tommy loved Lindsay, Timmy, & HIS CHILDREN, the way he keeps proclaiming, he would have never gotten involved in the drug issue and would never have taken illegal drugs, wouldn’t hit Lindsay, would have insisted his parents find their own place, wouldn’t have burgarized people’s homes, would have found an honest job, wouldn’t be in any trouble with the law. All of these choices he’s made stand to show how askewed their idea of love really is….
WHat’s starting to worry me now is….What’s broken inside of Lindsay that she is still willing to put up with these behaviors. Is she just cajoling him until she can gain that distance at her Gfather’s condo? I notice when TC talked about the burglary charges with Lindsay she didn’t mention that the investigators had spoken with her and that she turned over everything INCLUDING dish soap! LOL!!! Why include it? The LE probably would have never even thought about it and the person who reported the crime didn’t even think to mention it until asked about it. If she’s still so in love, that just seemed over the top to me. If I had been her and WAS still in love with TC I would have “forgotten” about the dish soap at least, and then disposed of it very soon after. I mean geesh…;)
HollysGmom, Perhaps Lindsay giving everything including the soap to authorities means subconsciously she wants Tommy to get punished for everything he has done. She may be pacifying him during the visits, just to keep the peace but away from the him and the situation she is planning a better life for her and the children. First thing I would do is kick the mooching parents to the curb and put some distance between me/kids and Satsuma, Florida. You know with the many people introduced one way or another in this case, I find it odd we have never learned anything about Lindsay’s parents or how she grew up. While her background has nothing to do with the case, I am just curious. I have thought from the beginning that she was the only one with a level head and a bit more education, including common sense, then the others. But then again she married and reproduced with a Croslin, maybe her childhood was FUBAR too…
On the subject of FUBAR and childhood, I feel sorry for the way the Croslin children lived growing up. Children live what they learn and without any positive role models or guidance it is amazing they have not been in far worse trouble before this. I could not listen to Hank Sr. complain to Misty and then Tommy that him and Lisa were not going to have a place to live when Lindsay moves. They have no car, no gas, no phone, no money, etc… I thought one of the reasons they were visiting their children was to support them and tell them they love them, not add to their stress.
JMO but where ever they lived growing up, Michigan or Florida, the state failed the Croslin children. Unbelievable to grow up living on the streets with both your parents high all the time. Just tragic no one at their school could see what was happening and try to get them help. I mean Misty leaving school in the sixth grade. Is that even legal? I guess I was pretty naive before this case.
Iowa mom ,If they were here today gone tommorrow no one would be able to report anything on the Croslin kids. That is how they fell thru the cracks. I think Lindsy knows a different Tommy when he isnt on drugs and is hopeing that after he detoxes that Tommy will be the one that comes out of jail. One question I had is about Timmy talking about almost going to a federal prison in Virginia.Maybe that was his revolation and why he seems to be out of trouble and different, maybe he had a wake up call. I think he still hopes the others will too. jmo
why dont u all stop the bullshit,
misty where the duck is haleigh, u were
the last to see her and not a word about
haleigh, nobody gives a rats ass about any
of u and a poor baby is gone…wake up

A year since Haleigh Cummings vanished, Ronald and Misty lost their way long ago
“…When their daughter was in the sixth grade, they were living in Flagler County.
“I’d send her to the bus stop,” her mother, Lisa Croslin, said. “She’d never get on the bus. If it was a day she wanted to go, she’d go. If it was a day she didn’t want to go, she would hide.”
“She can’t read,” her father said. “She was behind in class just like all of us.”
Reading disabilities run in the family, he said.
“I can’t read at all,” he said…”
oops, messed up link, sorry.

Misty’s cousin Joe looks just like sex offender Christopher Pearce
A man from her neighborhood told me he saw an older mercury linclon either white or silver with a bule half vinyl top, The night it happenned he told police but they didn’t write it down. Find the car find the girl!!
Like previously mentioned, all of these calls are simply about themselves. Not once does Misty or anyone mention Haleigh, or ask if there’s any news or show the least bit of concern, like it never even happened. I found it quite amusing that Misty was told that “she was a first time offender and that she was just helping someone out who needed their pill”. I find it comical how people who know darn well what they were doing can actually convince themselves that there was a just reason, and that they are the victims. As far as waiting on those tax refunds, we all know how that works. The less you make, the bigger the refund. It’s what the government calls “earned income credit”. Although where the earned part comes in is a mystery since there’s probably no doubt there all on welfare, collecting that check, food stamps, medical etc..banking on the “side jobs” and then collect an 8 thousand dollar check from uncle sam since their considered poverty. What a laugh. No sympathy here. There are thousands of people in this country that have had to lead miserable lives and face tremendous challenges. Not everyone becomes illiterate, drug dealing, government mooching,thieves and all around criminals. That’s a chosen lifestyle.
Good lord, the mom can’t visit because she’s on probation?? And the don’t have any gas money?? What a disgusting waste of air these people are.
This chick is begging for $$ crying because she is hungry, they don’t feed them in there, there starving her. OMG, seriously??? Sitting there, knowing she knows what happened to that poor little girl, and whining about her living conditions?? Lord, I can’t even wrap my mind around the just complete stupidity and nerve of this girl. And her family. Whining she wants pop and candy bars. She should count her blessings everyday she has what she has. Too bad not living in the days of the guillotine. No 3 meals a day, meds for her “nerves”. Maybe she should be grateful she has her life, as big a waste as she is. Something she took from that little girl.
Tape of Tommy he said the other inmates were asking where’s Haleigh etc.. he said he’s staying out of the general population. Probably the only smart thought that’s ever entered his illiterate brain. You know those inmate don’t like child murderers. Scarey to think that he has kids. His own kid sitting right there, listening to all that. Can’t even keep his language clean. The only one’s I feel sorry for are the kids in this whole mess. Unless someone puts a stop to the breeding in this family or takes those kids that are stuck with the family now, the cycle will continue. The chances are surely great that that son and any others will grow up to be just what they’ve seen all their lives.
Can you get some more recent jailhouse tapes or videos? I know that alot of people would like to see them.
Thanks
