Misty Croslin Interview May 25th 2011

It is her first in-depth television interview since being arrested on drug charges. She was sentenced in January and is now serving 25 years at Lowell.

“They got me in prison for 25 years. If I knew anything, they would know it from Day 1. I don’t know anything. … Just because when I say something one time, it doesn’t come out the same way. I guess that’s why they think I’m changing my story, but I’m not,” Croslin said.

She responds to being called the “key” by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office to cracking the Haleigh case. Croslin was married to Ron Cummings, the father of Haleigh; the girl vanished while in Croslin’s care in February 2009.

Croslin describes how investigators in Haleigh’s case told her before her sentencing that if she told them where Haleigh was, they would drop the drug charges. Croslin said she told them she didn’t know anything.

“People don’t understand that it kills me every day. I was asleep, I woke up and she was gone. Every night I go to sleep, I think maybe when I wake up she’s going to be beside me,” Croslin said.

Misty Croslin is currently serving 3 consecutive 25 sentences for selling oxycodone and oxycotin to under cover drug enforcement officers.
