TJ Hart of The Sky 97.3 has just sent this over, it went on air about 20 minutes ago. This is breaking news. This is certainly going to put yet more pressure on teen bride Misty Croslin about what happened the night that Haleigh Cummings went missing. Keep tuned, we will be updating this story as additional information comes in – Simon
Putnam County authorities told WSKY Monday that Hank “Tommy” Croslin Jr told PCSO detectives that when he checked on the house where missing Haleigh Cummings of Satsuma was last seen the night she vanished, no one appeared to be home.
As WSKY was trying to get additional information on the weekend search at a pond for evidence of Haleigh Cummings, Captain Dominic Piscetello with the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office told us that while being questioned last week Hank Croslin Jr gave up the this new information.
Croslin stated during questioning that Haleigh’s father, Ronald Cummings, had called him from his work and asked him to check on Misty since he had not been able to contact her by phone the night Haleigh disappeared. Tommy told PSCO detectives that he went down to Ron’s trailer in the 10pm hour, knocked on the door and got no answer.
Croslin Jr. also told detectives that all the lights were out and that no tv’s or radios were seen or heard inside the trailer. It was quiet.
Ironically, all the family members involved were given this information by law enforcement and each appeared to choose not to mention this information in any of their statements this weekend.

This is indeed a very key component, and it opens up some very interesting scenarios. Where was Jr? Where was Misty? And of course, where was Haleigh Cummings? I have no idea if Misty likes music, but she might want to consider adopting ‘The Heat Is On’ by Glenn Frey that was featured in Beverly Hills Cop as her theme song! – Simon

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI don’t want to get my hopes up, this is misty’s brother talking. We all know misty’s stories were all different and I can’t be sure of her brothers stories.I just can’t be for sure of him yet on what he says.He may be finding a way out of jail.
This tells me Ron knew Misty was out on a party, and not where she said she was. Then he married her, what is wrong with these people.

I’m just thinking of the number of key players who had this information all along and chose to withhold evidence from LE. That is, if Tommy is telling the truth, which I think he is now, considering the position LE has him in with astronomical bail. This back and forth one-upping between Tommy, Misty and perhaps other players will probably be just what this case needs to break.
Thanks Simon & TJ for the quick release of info.
Okay, now LE needs to carry her azz down for questioning.
LindaOz, we knew already that Ron had contacted him and ask him about misty and the kids, because ron couldn’t reach them. Yep, I believe that Tommy walked over and checked the house, Yep, and that no one was home.. Now, misty needs to get her sh…. together and start talking.. Bet, your right, lots of people know where she was that night with the kids. I think the puzzle is beginning to fit together.
Okay now LE needs to arrest her for child endangerment and arrest her for lying.How dear she leave these babies by themselves to go whore around and do drugs.Ron should have never left his kids in her care.
It appears that the kids were gone with her.
I still don’t understand why she turned her phone off… then when she turned it on, I’m assuming she had voicemails/txts from people looking for her, why would she call her brother first? (Already knowing poor baby Haleigh was gone)! I would be calling 911 first – then Ron!
Just… the whole story… the whole thing is fishy. The Cummings/Croslins all seem to be shady people. It’s so sad.
I don’t think the kids went with her, they would have either woken up along the way, or what not… Junior is old enough to know something & he isn’t old enough to know HOW to lie so well… So, I definitely think he would have spoken up! (Even if it was the smallest thing).
& one more thing… because I absolutely have no idea.
Say they (Misty, Ron, whoever) disposed of this childs body 7 months ago… in the pond, wouldn’t it be um, like bones?
If they are sucking out water, would they suck out bones and never know?
I don’t know, that’s why I am asking.
Isnt this grounds for an arrest ? “Child endangerment” and “Obstructing Justice” (lying) ? What the hell is going on here ?
Surely, Hank Jr. called Ronald back that night to advise him of this. This would explain Misty’s alleged call to her brother before the 911 call. It would also bring other key factors back into play such as Mr. Overstreet, the re-parked van, and the twice sold dented truck. ~As Always Just My Opinion~
I still believe Misty did something to Haleigh and someone helped her.Thats why here cell was truned off all night and noone could get ahold of her.If she was gone and the kids were with her why wouldn’t she just tell Ron,her family oh im over at a friends house and the kids are here with me.What would be the big deal in that? and why wouldn’t she just tell the truth if that all is what really happened?.Because it’s not what happened I think Misty and whoever took Haleigh somewhere where she can’t be found or where LE and the FBI havn’t searched thats why.How do we know Haleigh wasn’t gone after Ron went to work like an hour after or whatever.We know Haleigh never went to bed and either did Misty.And I don’t believe Rons grandma ever came to the house to drop off clothes of the kids becuase Misty said her and Ron had to go to Rons grandma’s house the moring Haleigh went missing to get Haleigh’s school clothes.So that right there doesn’t make any since.I just feel deep down in my gut something happened to Haleigh and Misty did it.
I have a feeling that Misty is in grave danger. Of course, Ron has known all along, though, that she wasn’t at home. Why did he lie? What did he have to gain by not telling the truth? Sure does make him look suspicious, too in my eyes. MOO. Could it be that they were all asleep and Tommy just couldn’t get them to answer the door?
He said he went over there at 10, she said she went to sleep after 11 didn’t she?
I agree with you Queenie …Why would Ron lie ? This case is like an onion it has so many layers.
im wondering if the van was there when tommy went to the trailer?
is there anyway le could talk to jr and ask him where misty took them or went that night?
another thing that gets me is why the hell did ron work overtime knowing his children were not at home where they should have been and in bed.
did ron call someone else and ask them to go look for misty and when whoever found her took haleigh and not jr cause haleigh was asleep in the van and jr was in the house with misty?
has le questioned any of the neighbors of wbg to see if the van was in the area around that time?
has le questioned wbg mom to see if misty was agian with him that night?
maybe wbg mom was watching the kids.
and as far as tommy being arrested for stealing a gun, i think that is all b/s.
for one the gun was stolened in august and was returned. mr. martain didnt even file a theft report. and how can le arrest someone for something that has already been returned. le really has no prove other than hearsay that this even happened, so why arrest him. whats the saying no harm no foul.
i think le is trying to make themselves look good cause they have already fouled up to many other leads or evidence.
and is there a warrant out for lisa croslin also for the theft of the gun? remember mr. martain said he wasnt for sure who stole it, lisa or tommy.
so ill ask le right here right now.
do you all have a warrant out for lisa croslin for theft or for asserory to theft?
please we the public would like to know. cause if your going to arrest one arrest them all.
It always seem to circle back to Ron. He has to know. If he didn’t he would do what any of us would do. Sit that girl down with the cops until the truth comes out. She was the last one to see his daughter alive, she has yet to give an explanation and He MARRIES her!? There is no other way an innocent person would marry the girl who played this role in the disappearance of his own daughter. I mean whether or not she did it intentionally, she is lying and he knows it. I wouldn’t even be able to stomach being in the same room with the girl.
Junior isn’t going to remember ONE night 7 months ago.. the kid is 4 lol.
Things I am sure are starting to get blurry for him that night. Poor baby was just sleeping..
and another thing id like to ask le, how come it is you can arrest someone for something that wasnt even reported but yet you cant arrest those who are lieing or hindering an investagation in the dissapearance of a missing 5/6 yr old? where are your priorities le?
it doesnt make you all look to good in the publics eyes when it comes to who you will or will not arrest and what youi arrest them for.
registered sex offenders can walk your town and do as they please, drug dealers run and sell drugs in your town ,and there are teenage prositutes running around and yet you can arrest a man for a crime that wasnt even reported.
shame shame shame.
maybe the old sheriff needs back in office.
this is all just my opinion.
a person would be surprised at what a 4 yr old can and cant remember even 7 months later.
This is a very difficult case to solve because the people involved are so ignorant it is just pathetic–Misty, Ron, Crystal–the whole bunch. It’s got nothing to do with living in a trailer park. Misty has lied from the get-go and it will catch up with her sooner or later. Somehow I feel that Ron is hiding something too because he is so quick to believe Misty.
maybe the rumor of ron being an informant is true and thats why he wont get rid of misty is because he is afraid she will tell eveyone.
From day one I have felt that Misty was not home. Someone knew she left those kids at home alone and went and picked up Haleigh while she was on a drug run or whatever she did… Or my second thought was that she was home and had a house of company and was so messed up she did not know who took Haleigh.. or third thought she traded Haleigh to pay a drug debt… but then.. what did they do with the baby girl? Not sure… I just hope she returns home alive… That little girl has my heart from so many miles away…
The key words in Tommy’s statement is ‘No-one Appeared to be home’.
It’s possible they were all sleeping and didn’t hear Tommy knocking at the door.
I know when I’m asleep I don’t hear my front door bell, and it’s almost as loud as Big Ben.
Again, that would be awesome if they were all asleep, but she said she went to sleep WELL PAST 10 P.M. so why wouldn’t she hear the door? Then again, if he called RON and said “No one appears to be home” why wouldn’t run have left CONCERNED about his GF & kids… Just saying.
Gemma, the man whose gun was stolen did not report it because he got it back pretty quickly. But then he was threatened – I guess someone was mad at him for getting his gun back. So that’s when he reported it to police – in an effort to protect himself from the threats. The theft was about Aug 18 and he reported it Sept 12 but that’s the reason for the delay I believe.
I forgot to say that I agree with you, Gemma. I don’t know what real law they could lock up Misty with but it sure does seem that a lot of criminals walk around freely down there. It’s a wonder serious stuff like this didn’t happen before – or maybe it did and we didn’t hear about it. (but not a missing child)
Maybe Tommy went around to the back door to check? (Gives me shivers to continue that thought).
The family is already mad at Misty for putting a restraining order on one of em… She chose the Cummings… and not the Croslins… who says they aren’t making anything and everything up to get back at her?
All of a sudden her DAD, MOM & Brother don’t think she is home? This all comes AFTER the restraining order?
Hmmm…
i think ron is involved.haleigh died some how that night and ron, misty, and tommy did away with her body.also granny sykes,and granny neves know the entire ugly truth and are sticking up for liar misty to protect no good ronald.i pray CPS/DCF or whomever protects children in that state will take jr.ASAP!!!
one would think that ron would have been more concerned than he was considering misty had just came back from a 3 day drug benge.
dont make no sense to me at all how he could just drive right by his house and go buy beer instead of being concerned for his children.
RONALD, WHY WERE YOU NOT CONCERNED FOR YOUR CHILDRENS WELFARE, AND MORE CONCERNED ABOUT BUYING BEER AND CIGS?
DO YOU NOT LOVE YOUR CHILDREN ENOUGH OR IS DOPE UNDERAGE GIRLS AND BEER MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN THEY ARE?
IMO YOU ARE A SAD EXCUSE OF A HUMAN BEING AND SHOULD BE JAILED FOR CHILD NRGLECT. AND JR SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR CUSTODY IMMETATLY.
ALSO IMO YOU DONT DESERVE TO EVEN BE CALLED A DAD OR FATHER FOR YOU ARE NEITHER IN MY BOOK.
HEY LE HOW ABOUT ARRESTING RON AND MISTY NOW FOR HINDERING AN INVESTAGATION OR FOR OBSTRUCTION? AGIAN IF YOU CAN ARREST SOMEONE ON HEARSAY THEN WHY NOT ARREST THESE TWO LOWLIFES FOR HEARSAY? JMO
i have heard that the man was threatned but isnt that all hearsay too. did mr. martain have proof of these threats or who was making them?
Gemma: Arresting Tommy on a flimsy or non-existent charge may be an attempt at intimidating him into answering their questions. It seems odd that everyone is so eager to blame le when most of their case has been kept under wraps.
Even if Tommy went to the trailer at Ron’s request, isn’t it a possibility that he was set up.. for what reason who knows.. maybe they were hoping that someone else, like a neighbor would see him lurking about and call the police. Just a thought!! Also why did he hang on to that bit of info.. and what does Ron say about wifey not being home?
Is this all pointing at the river and child abduction from the people RC held up?
Money, drugs. And payback? Could Haleigh still be alive? It all fits. Klynn
[…] credibility after the bombshell (sorry Nancy I used your phrase) revelation that Tommy Croslin has stated that he went to the trailer on the evening of Haleigh’s disappearance around 10pm and could […]
I’m sorry, but I am not considering this anything more than “payback”. How quick we forget that Misty just had Tommy’s butt dragged through court, granted a Permanent TRO. Please…this has revenge written all over it! If this statement is accurate and true, then why is it just coming out now, conveniently after the showdown with Misty and not the 100 times previously that he was questioned. We know that Ronald supposedly called Tommy to check on Misty that nite when she would not answer her phone and I am not buying for one second that if he called Ronald back with this information that when Ron got home to find out that his daughter was gone that Misty would still be walking and talking, forget about becoming his wife. Not buying it for a second. Either Misty and the kids were sound asleep and did not hear anyone at the door, or the more likely story which is he is just plain lying. This didn’t become something that Tommy just ‘happened to remember’ this now?? how convenient after Misty dragged his sorry butt to court and slapped a permanent mark on his criminal record with a permanent restraining order…granted by the judge. That’s a coincidence huh? NOT!
THanks Mlee. I’d never heard about Ron calling Tommy to check the trailer. That’s what I get for depending on Miss Nancy to keep up to date. :o\
Who had keys to the trailer?
Pam… exactly what I think!
Did anyone ever consider that if someone came in that mobile home….you can hear a footstep anywhere in a mobile home, everything creaks. I heard Misty say that she went to bed around 10, isn’t that ironic that now the brother is saying he came over around 10 and there was no one there. Maybe Misty was in bed OR maybe she had gone out on a drug run and brother just helped himself to the sleeping little girl you cant make me believe that Misty less than 4 feet from Haleigh never heard anyone take her, she would stir or make some sort of noise to be moved
The theft occured between 8/19 and 8/20/2009 and Mr. Martin did report it on Tuesday 8/25/2009. Question really is why wait to arrest Hank Jr. when Misty has a temporary and then permanent restraining order against him?!

I think that if someone was trying to make these kids learn a lesson, they would have returned Hailey by NOW & told the cops, “I did this because NO ONE WAS HOME”….
No.
No one would keep a kid 7 months PAST due. Something happened… & Ron & Misty are covering.
How long will their fame last?
How did this “Kidnapper” get in the mobile home? NO SIGNS OF BREAK IN… isn’t that what the cops said?
Forgot to add ~ As Always Just My Opinion

I THINK TOMMY IS JUST TELLING NOW BECAUSE HE’S ANGRY AND SCARED.BUT IT’S STILL THE TRUTH WHY GET THROWN UNDA DA BUS FOR SOMEONE POINTING THE FINGER AT YOU?WHICH IS WHAT MISTY’S BEEN DOIN TO TOMMY.
MR.&MRS.CUMMINGS ARE BOTH INVOLVED IN THIS TOGETHER.ALSO AS I SAID B4 GRANNY SYKES & NEVES KNOW RON’S HANDS R DIRTY TOO.HE SENT TOMMY TO THE TRAILER BUT STILL DID’NT GO STRAIGHT HOME AFTER WORK.UMMMM OKAY.
Questions:
1. Who has keys to the trailer?
2. Did Tommy check the back to see if that door was open?
My thoughts on this are:
1. Didn’t the daddy work at a construction site just before his girl went missing? Maybe Misty and Ron took a liitle trip to one of his work sites?
2. Did LE give the little boy a drug test to see if he was doped up that evening so he would be asleep while Haleigh went missing? Remember, you can test hair for drug useage from months back.
Ron, your mom is the bomb, how did you train her to do that!
“THE TRUTH FEARS NO QUESTIONS”
I am so confused by this whole case. I honestly in my heart don’t think Ron has anything to do with the fact that Haleigh is missing, HOWEVER, he HAS to know more than he lets on…I don’t believe Misty DID anything to Haleigh, but I do think she is lying and either she wasn’t home and was doing someone/something she shouldn’t have been, or she had someone over who took Haleigh. I don’t believe Ronald or Misty harmed the little girl themselves, but I think Misty is too embarassed this late in the case to admit she wasn’t home or had someone over. She didn’t personally do anything to Haleigh, but she knows who did or she knows she was gone when it happened.
Maybe Ronald went to the convenience store because he knew he would be on the surveillance tape. That’s why he didn’t go racing straight home. Joe’s story does seem to give creedence to my idea that Ron could have set Misty up.
She’s clever, but at seventeen not clever enough. She may have Munchausen’s too. (Read the article by Pat Brown which if I remember correctly was on the Court TV website.)
In my view, Ron has made a big mistake. He may have, after the fact, taken advantage of the situation to get control of her. He certainly doesn’t want her running around with other men. Or the whole thing could have been planned. He may have the upper hand right now, but you can bet she’ll turn the tables on him. Maybe she already has. In which case, she will say jump, and he will say, “How high?”
And we all know he’ll want to move on to greener pastures at some point in time. And he’s stuck. Which opens up some interesting possibilities. I hope they solve this case FAST, before something happens that makes it impossible to ever get to the truth. And how many people would prefer it that way?
Crystal, I would bet, is extremely maternal. Her driving force as it were. That’s just my hunch. She has a very different psychological makeup from Misty, and I’ll bet he might already be thinking of her with real regret. But I for one wouldn’t feel sorry for him.
People with Munchausen’s stage things. It starts with small things, like getting another student in trouble at school over some stolen lunch money, and gets to be big things, like staged kidnappings. Jealousy is usually a big factor. So I can’t count out the idea that it’s all Misty. With Munchausen’s it’s always about them. People, especiall the kids are pebbles in the shoe, especially if they are too smart to be manipulated, or become some kind of a threat, like seeing something they are not supposed to see. They may delude themselves that they only mean well, but there is usually SOMETHING that finally sets this type off, and then the person will rationalize til the end of time that it wasn’t there fault. At seventeen, one would hope there was a chance someone wouldn’t get that hardened, but there is a chance that it might have been all Misty’s plan. Something went wrong with the plan. Maybe someone intervened and she got out-manipulated. And then again, maybe the plan wasn’t ever what SHE thought it was.
She’
Good baby-sitter? I knew one. She was the best. It turned out she had Munchausen’s. And she wasn’t even a drug addict. Munchausen’s by itself is enough for any of this. Thing was, that’s one of the few things this person knew how to do real well was baby-sit. It also gave her access to people’s houses, and the chance to find things out that she could use.
And manipulating children is so easy for them. They really should have taken Junior out of the house pronto. Yes, that’s a good question, why DCF has not removed the little boy. They could certainly trump up something without jeopardizing the case even if Mr. and Mrs. Cummings are the main suspects. I would tend to believe Crystal’s story about how Ronald ended up with custody.
Oh, as I’m not originally from Florida, could someone please explain how it is that these children have the last name of Cummings if their parents were never married? Because it was reported that he never married the mother.
This may not be a popular theory, but it is entirely possible that the 3 of them were asleep, and Misty woke up and saw who was at the door, and simply chose to not answer it.
Had the PCSO never checked Ron’s, Tommy’s & the Croslin’s phone records for that night until now??
What if Misty was supposed to not be home, perhaps making a drug run and Ron really wanted to confirm she was doing her job? That would explain his apparent failure to do anything else after finding out she didn’t seem to be home.
Alethea, can you help me find the article you’re referring to by Pat Brown that may have been on Court TV website and may have been about Munchausen’s?
The behavior you’re describing does not fit any definition of Munchausen’s that I’ve ever seen.
This is what I understand it to be and none of it seems applicable to anyone in the Haleigh case:
“Munchausen syndrome is a type of factitious disorder, or mental illness, in which a person repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or mental disorder when, in truth, they have caused the symptoms. People with factitious disorders act this way because of an inner need to be seen as ill or injured, not to achieve a concrete benefit, such as financial gain.” (From Cleveland Clinic.org)
“Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSP), a type of factitious disorder, is a mental illness in which a person acts as if an individual he or she is caring for has a physical or mental illness when the person is not really sick. People with MSP assume the role of a sick person indirectly by producing or lying about illness in another person under their care, usually a child under 6 years of age. However, cases have been reported of adult victims of MSP. (The term “by proxy” means “through a substitute.”)
People with MSP have an inner need for the other person (often his or her child) to be seen as ill or injured. It is not done to achieve a concrete benefit, such as financial gain. . . MSP most often occurs with mothers—although it can occur with fathers—who intentionally harm or describe non-existent symptoms in their children to get the attention given to the family of someone who is sick.” (From Cleveland clinic)
m2c
wikipedia defines munchausen syndrom as a person that stages incedents to be the hero.Like a nurse stopping a patients heart and finding them b4 the doctor.Giving them the proper meds to fix things and being more important than the doctor.The hero.
If misty tried to do this with Haleigh then her poly would’ve come out just the way it did.imo
I think after the blow up on the phone with ronald
that’s when something happened to haleigh cause
misty turned her phone off she didn’t have to answer it why turn it off.Tommy now places himself there even tho why now a get outta free jail card maybe? and why did ronald tell tim miller of equsearch if he had 35 thousand dollars he could get haleigh back misty’s father said he didn’t believe misty was in the trailer she left out now why would he say that did tommy tell him that
or misty has done it before did the the police find drugs in the trailer ? cause haleigh could have gotten hold of them and ronald was concerned about finding his daughter he stopped to marry misty which I find strange and misty is a big liar and ronald knows it but he is also hiding something I wonder did anyone love and care about haleigh.
Case Closed Inc. said,in September 22nd, 2009 at 8:24 am Ok, I could not resist. Ron your Mom said your now new wife was up all night Sunday and up until 10 on Monday and then she crashed. After all she was tired…What were you on Ron that you were able to work a very long shift after staying up fighting with your now new wife for two days and nights?…You super hero!
Anyone disagreeing, Mrs Neves threw him under that bus last night!
Maybe Misty was in bed with her lover and chose not to answer the door for that reason????
Also, this is so much like Casey/Caylee Anthony case. Last one seen with the child saying nothing and apparently a vicious fight immediately before said child goes missing. My feeling is Misty acted alone up until she needed to dispose of evidence. Someone knows something besides Misty..and I don’t mean Ron. I think he believes Misty is the key and married her to keep her close and hope he can figure out where his daughter is now.
It is my understanding that Munchausen’s can take other forms, although this is less common. If you read the article by Pat Brown, you will see a case where the Mother instead of making the child sick, made it that something else horrible had happened to her. Logically, this could extend to such things as, say, deliberately getting a child into trouble, and getting an older child thrown into jail, framing them up. Someone else has to be bad, so they can be good. I know a woman who did this to her own kid.
If that was the case, you would have to figure out exactly what it was that set the person off.
There is a lot of diagnostic overlap on narcissistic conditions. The thing is, they want all of the attention for themselves. They have been known to fake pregnancies, etc. The person I was describing that I knew died before anyone figured out what she did, and that is the best guess so far to figure out what she had. But everyone should read that article by Pat Brown, and be informed and better prepared to recognize that they might be dealing with a person with that disorder in their own lives.
I can’t see Ron doing anything premeditatively to harm his daughter. But I do think it is possible that he went to the convenience store to get on the surveillance tape because he was already aware (by some means) that something had happened. Or he may have simply wanted some beer. But if he’s calling the brother-in-law to check up on the baby-sitter, and there is no word for hours, wouldn’t he have been racing home to make sure nothing had happened?
I find it hard to believe that he could have been a drug informant. Why would a person in that position have a person who does drugs watching his children? You have to wonder about all this, even if you want to believe the best, you still have to wonder. You have to try it all different ways, and I can’t seem to find a way that makes him look good.
One would of course like to think he was secretly trying to get her back, that he is a hero, but things seem to be stacking in another direction.
Then there is what the mother of the children says about him giving her drugs. How old was he when he got mixed up with a fourteen-year-old?
A seventeen year old who has had a rough life for whatever reason could very well be in a mental state like Munchausen’s. Some people are that way naturally. I am not a psychologist, but I tend to have radar about certain things because of my personal experience.
People want to cut the seventeen-year-old a break because of her age, but law enforcement isn’t going to do it especially if the magic cutoff day arrives when she is no longer technically a juvenile. There is a missing child. She probably needs a sharp jolt to realize the kind of trouble she is in. Or she is simply so guilty it wouldn’t make a difference.
I will try to find the article on Munchausen’s. And does anyone know when Misty is going to turn eighteen?
And what about the medicine the little girl had to take? If she was alive, she’d need it. They said on the news that she needs to go to the doctor at least every six months. She has now been missing for seven. This does not look good.
For the person who was interested in the article on Munchausen’s: Court TV is now TruTV. Go to trutv.com and click on LIBRARY, then CRIMINAL MIND, then CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY. Go down to where it says “Munchausen’s Syndrome by Proxy” and click on it.
The mother in the movie, The Sixth Sense, Had this I think. She poisoned the little girl to get attention and was starting on the other child.
Two things…,
As a mother of twin 4 year olds I can tell you that it’s age 3 where kids start to retain long term memories, especially traumatic ones. By age 4.5 years, they become much more verbal and are able to descibe those memories. This was also my personal experience. (At age 3-4, I was abused by a babysitter. At age 4.0 I was verbalize to my parents about the abuse in 3 sentence words. By age 5, I was able to descibe the abuse in several sentences.
While Jr. could not verbalize what happened at 4.0 years of age, by the time he is close to age 4.75 – 5.0 years, he will be able to verbalize much better any memories of someone harming his sister.
Second point: I concur with the post above. Ron’s story does not make sense in that Ron could not reach Misty on her cell after their fight from 8:30 pm – 3:00 am. Misty’s family told him Ron they did not know where she was, Tommy went to the trailer and did not find her there and supposedly relayed this info to Ron. Yet Ron works overtime and then takes a detour to a convenience store before heading home to check on his possibly sitterless kids!!?!
Just my two cents.
Do we have anyone else’s word besides Ron’s that Misty’s cell phone WAS turned off?
Do we have anyone eles’s word besides Ron’s that there WAS a fight over the phone? Overhearing one side of a telephone conversation is not proof that the person is not talking to the air.)
If Misty left with Haleigh, what happened to Junior? Did she drag him along? If Misty left the two alone while she went out to party, perhaps she put a brick at the back door so she could sneak in without anyone seeing her coming home when she wasn’t supposed to have left. Apparently the back door was very difficult to unlock. Perhaps she feels guilty because she left them alone to go and have a rendevous with her previous fling and someone came in through the open back door. Is Joe Overstreet the one they say is a sex offender? If so, he was there earlier that evening, maybe he came back dressed in black and stole Haleigh.
I wish someone would construct a time line about the blanket washing. At one point she said she put Haleigh down at 8:00 PM, yet she washed the blanket at 10:00? What? Then she was washing something when the police arrived at 3:00. Don’t underestimate LE. They are
smart enough to know when to keep quiet and apply the pressure. Kind of like boiling a frog…
Tommy Put Himself there. therefor he could of took the lil girl. since missy was not home. maybe missy left the kids in bed asleep? and Tommy took her…
Maybe there is a way of looking at the time line where what to do with Junior would not be an issue. Remember,we don’t really know exactly when Haleigh disappeared.
Maybe this girl that wrote the letter in the jail that resulted in the draining of the pond was guessing about what could have happened based on her knowledge of Misty’s haunts and hoped to collect the reward? They flashed a picture of that letter on Nancy Grace last night and didn’t give enough time to read it. Typical NG. We’ll have to look for the video on the internet and push the pause button to read it….
Assuming Hank is telling the truth and Misty was not at home, we come to the issue of the back door. IF she did not have keys, maybe she would have left the outer door propped open and the main (inside) door unlocked so she could get back in upon her return. I think the outer door would lock upon closing? I seriously doubt that Hank would be placing himself at the scene if he had gone in and stolen the child. (IF she was there.)
Does anyone honestly think that Misty would not have not obtained a key? Teenagers lift keys and get them copied.
So how do we know *for sure* if Misty had keys or not. If she did have keys, the door could have been left propped open earlier and she didn’t notice as she would have gone out the front door? All of the lights were off, according to Hank. If she didn’t want to be seen leaving….
Ron seems to be pretty forthright about saying how the back door was hardly ever used. But then we get to the issue of the laundry by the back door….
We know the back door would swing shut of its own accord. So if it was hanging open at any point in time, something would have had to be holding it open. Laundry? That’s as far as my brain gets right now.
It’s been my feeling that the blanket is a red herring, BUT…. I’m still thinking on that one. I would be curious to know if anyone knows if they found it, and where, and has this been verified? I can’t seem to find anything about that.
It looks like last night Nancy Grace sure was on the “Let’s Fry Misty” bandwagon. But at least she had the “grace” to admit that it does sound strange that five or six people could have witnessed the child’s death and all of them kept their mouths shut for seven months. So much for draining the pond. Maybe they need to “drain” the entire area. Metaphor intended.
There are far to many variables involved to put weight into this story. If the Sheriff just buys into it then he is either stupid or so eager of anything in regards to Misty he has forgotten what matters here, Haleigh! In order for the Sheriff to claim this story as valid the wife of this man has a lot of explaining to do, she would of been his alibi.The Police have a lot of explaining to do, they admit to questioning this man on several occasions yet not once did they detect he was lying. Then how can anyone put weight into their skill of being able to detect when someone is telling the truth? Did the Police not check this mans alibi? If not who else did they over look? If they were fooled by him for seven months then who else fooled them? In order to validate this mans story the Police have to call Ronald a liar, Ronald is stating he did not ask this man to go to the home, yet on the other hand the Police have cleared Ronald as a suspect. Not to mention the timing is highly questionable, and the character of this man is not exactly a reliable one. The Police look desperate and under mind their own investigation by just validating this mans story. Lie detector; did this man take one, if so then he lied and passed. All in all it just under minds the Police and the investigation.
One of the names on the list below will turn up as the responsible party in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings:
1) ‘Greg Paige’, aka “Whiteboy”
2) Tommy Croslin
3) Timmy Croslin
4) Misty Croslin Cummings
5) Crystal Sheffield’s father/stepmother
6) Guy Sapp (supposed relative of Lindsy Croslin)
7) Joe in Tenn. (Croslin relative, of course)
These people make me sick. The whole Croslin clan, especially Lisa, Tommy and Timmy Croslin look like really ‘sorry’ people. As in, just scummy, trashy people. I bet Tommy had something to do with it. It’s so obvious he somehow was involved. Why the hell did cops not determine who’s kids Misty was wanting to go babysit that night? Where was Lindsy croslin-maybe she was out somewhere, and Tommy was looking after their 3 kids-Maybe he asked Misty to stay with his kids, and he went over to the trailer and took Haleigh. Just a glance at his my space page would lead one to believe that scenario.
Also, back in February, one set of the grandparents ( possibly Ronald’s mom and stepdad) stopped in sometime (maybe around 8:30pm). Anyone remember that? Why haven’t they re-interviewed Mrs.Neves to uncover more details about exactly what time that was, and exactly when and who borrowed the min-van from the Croslin sister-in-law, and when (exactly) it was returned .
What if Tommy is actually part of this..maybe that 30 sec. phone call and banging on the door turned into something else, and Tommy and Misty are part of the cover-up..perhaps when he went there he came upon… a “situation”…has anyone else thought about this as a possibility?
I believe that misty was not there that night (evidence supported by her brother that states that when he went to check on her she was not there) and that she left the children asleep and went to get some drugs (drug run) and when Tommy came over and saw that she was not home and then went around to the back door and saw it opened and little haleigh asleep, took her and I also believe that cousin Joe probably with Tommy helped get rid of Haleigh’s body. Cousin Joe could have possible took the body and dumped it out of town along the road, that is probably why they cannot find the body nowhere in Florida.
