Most people knew that that cinder block might hold a key clue to what happened to Haleigh Cummings. Now WJXT is reporting that two cinder blocks have been pulled from the Saint Johns River in the search for Haleigh Cummings.

The police have announced that Haleigh is dead, and are searching the river for evidence. Multiple persons of interest identified.

Misty Croslin’s grandmother appeared on Nancy Grace saying that Timmy Croslin had called her from jail and said he was in the Cummings home with Misty and Joe Overstreet the night Haleigh went missing. The grandmother also said that Joe had went there to steal a gun and when Misty couldn’t find it he took Haleigh instead.

Apparently Misty confirmed this story fifteen minutes later in a similar conversation with her grandmother. Misty has reportedly said that Joe Overstreet had held a knife to her throat and told her he would kill her if she ever told and she was frightened.

Rumors are spreading that Joe killed Haleigh and tied cinder blocks to her body and threw her in a river near Misty’s parents former home.

This entire story is suspect because Misty has already named Joe over a year ago as someone that might be involved because “he has been a criminal all his life.”

This from the Nancy Grace blog…

Flora Hollars laid out multiple versions she says Misty and Tommy Croslin gave her about the night Haleigh vanished, all of them ending in the little girl’s brutal death. One of them, that a yellow rope was put around Haleigh’s body, a brick tied around the bottom of the other end of the rope and Haleigh thrown into the river.

After we see Misty Croslin on video in handcuffs standing on the dock of the Saint Johns river, investigators reveal Misty Croslin went to the river voluntarily. But what exactly did she tell police? We also learn she’s not the only one who was at the river with cops. Tommy Croslin’s attorney says he was the one who brought investigators to the St. Johns River in the first place, the same spot where unnamed sources say dive teams have been searching for a murder weapon.

We know cops have pulled “items” from the river for testing, but are Haleigh’s remains among them? And are multiple arrests about to go down.

This might very well be the way the crime went down but Misty’s justification that she was scared and didn’t tell is ridiculous. That defense only works to the point that Joe left the home. Was she to scared to tell when she being questioned by the police for countless hours? Did she believe Joe would burst into the police station at any minute and kill her? Would he break into jail where she is currently incarcerated on drug charges and kill her?

The “scared of Joe” defense is likely only a justification to absolve herself and her brother Timmy from any wrong doing in the murder of Haleigh Cummings. They all kept their mouths shut for the past 14 months because the were likely all involved in some way. IMO.

“look for Haleigh near a rose….” Misty Croslin.

Misty Croslin Cummings

Members of Equusearch, the Texas-based search team, are once again searching an area near the home of Ronald Cummings, whose 4-year-old daughter Haleigh Cummings vanished from the family’s trailer in March.

Myfoxorlando is reporting that under hypnosis, Ronald Cumming’s 17-year-old wife Misty Croslin Cummings told searchers to look for Haleigh near a rose left in an undisclosed area in Putnam County.

Based on that tip, Equusearch on Saturday headed back out to Satsuma to search for leads in the case.

Fox 35 has a crew at the search location. I have an inside track if anything is found. Check back.

Update for KAT

October 5th, 2009

My info is from a Steph Watts interview, who recorded the sessions for EquuSearch.

According to several news sources, while Misty was undergoing and completely failing the battery of tests being administered, she made a comment that indicated she may know where to search for Haleigh. She told investigators they needed to double-check a patch of ground marked by a single plastic rose.

“She said there was a place that was not searched very well and that we should look for a red rose, and she gave us the location,” said Steph Watts, who recorded the sessions for EquuSearch.

“We went and we looked, and we found it, and the next day we took Putnam County investigators back there,” Watts said. “I don’t think they are going to dig where the rose is and find the body, but the fact that they went with us shows that they are following up on every lead.” EquuSearch is making plans to return to the area in the near future.

WFTV-Channel 9 reported today that Misty Croslin failed a lie dector test. Misty Croslin/Cummings was the last person to see missing Haleigh Cummings alive.

Misty Croslin says she was with Haleigh inside a mobile home in Satsuma when someone took the girl in the middle of the night back in February.

Ronald Cummings, Haleigh’s father, married Croslin almost immediately after Haleigh’s disappearance.

The couple asked Texas EquuSearch to return to Central Florida to help look for the girl and clear their names.

EquuSearch arranged for Croslin to take a lie detector test, which the group says she “failed miserably.”

Texas EquuSearch turned their findings over to Putnam County deputies who say they’re not surprised.

Croslin says she was pressured to take the test. But Texas EquuSearch founder Tim Miller denies that claim.

Deputies say they don’t have enough evidence to charge Croslin with any crime.

This just in from myfoxorlando……

Putnam County investigators say they don’t think that Misty Croslin-Cummings has been straight with them as they continue to investigate the disappearance six months ago of Haleigh Cummings from her father’s home in Satsuma.

In a news release marking the child’s sixth birthday Monday, investigators said the child’s biological parents, Ronald Cummings and Crystal Sheffield, were not suspects.

But for the first time, they don’t think Haleigh was abducted by a stranger. They said, Misty Croslin, who was baby-sitting the girl when she vanished from her father’s mobile home in February, “continues to hold important answers in the case.”

“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.”

Croslin married Cummings about a month after Haleigh’s disappearance. Their telephone in Welaka has been disconnected and it is not known if Croslin has an attorney.

According to the news release, investigators have received more than 4,000 leads, all of which have been followed up.

They have conducted 138 formal interviews and several hundred informal ones. DNA samples were collected from many of those interviewed.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement processed the crime scene and did analysis on DNA and fingerprint evidence, none of which has identified a suspect.

Thousands of acres have been searched by air, on foot and by horseback. Divers have combed the water areas near where Haleigh disappeared.

“Sheriff (Jeff) Hardy wants to assure the public, but mainly Haleigh’s family, that we will continue to aggressively pursue this case,” the news release said.

Also Monday, a Texas-based search group said it would conduct another search for Haleigh Cummings.

Tim Miller, director of Texas EquuSearch, said the 50 group members and volunteers would search in four to six weeks. He said he thinks weather and vegetation conditions will be more conducive to finding the girl.

Deputies dig up animals at home of Haleigh’s grandmother

Authorities on Friday dug up the remains of a horse and other animals at the Baker County home of a grandmother of missing Putnam County girl Haleigh Cummings to ensure that her body is not among them.

Click to enlarge The search took place at the 25-acre tract belonging to Marie Griffis, Haleigh’s maternal grandmother.

Putnam County sheriff’s Lt. Johnny Greenwood said authorities had earlier conducted a ground search of the home. They were told by a family member that a horse and other farm animals were buried on the land.

“We are going back over our notes and conducting secondary searches. There has not been any new information leading us that way. We are pretty much going to dig up the horse,” Greenwood said. “There is no information that she is buried there at all. We just want to cover our bases to make sure we don’t leave any stone unturned.”

Several agencies were assisting in the search, including Baker and Duval county sheriff’s offices.

Haleigh, 5, vanished from her Satsuma home in February when she was with her little brother and Misty Croslin, the then-girlfriend and now the wife of her father, Ronald Cummings. Croslin told authorities she woke about up 3 a.m. to find Haleigh missing. Cummings was at work.

Extensive searches were conducted for weeks after the disappearance in Satsuma and elsewhere without success.

Greenwood said it was likely the search of Griffis’ property would wrap up on Friday.

“We are checking every place more than one time,” he said. “Just because we checked it before doesn’t mean we didn’t miss something.”
