Tommy Croslin, brother of Misty Croslin, told his grandmother who he believes to be behind the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings. He said that Joe Overstreet, his cousin, put her body in St. Johns River. This information came from a taped conversation with his grandmother while he was in jail on drug charges.

On April 13, 2010 Putnam County Police converged on the St. Johns River following a tip in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings, but didn’t find anything. Misty Croslin was brought to the scene. It was never made clear why she was there or what she might have said about the claim that her cousin Joe placed her there. I was also claimed that Joe and Tommy have fed alligators at the boat dock in the past.

On April 15, 2010 in Nashville, Tenn. an emotional Joe Overstreet, a cousin of Misty Croslin, broke down, saying he does not know what happened to Haleigh Cummings.




Attorney Terry Shoemaker said Saturday that Ronald Cummings believes Haleigh was placed in the river. “I think he has a pretty good idea that’s what transpired.”
Putnam Co. Sheriff says Haleigh Cummings is likely dead and authorities are considering her disappearance a homicide.

Ronald Cummings says he was targeted by police so that they could question him about the disappearance of his daughter, Haleigh. He was caught on surveillance tape with his wife Misty Croslin buying hundreds of oxycotin pills from an undercover officer.

Both were charged and convicted with drug trafficking charges and are serving lengthy sentences in Florida today. Several other family members have also been convicted of various crimes. Almost everyone connected to this case has been convicted on several unrelated charges but still no sign of Haleigh Cummings.

I have lost faith the Haleigh will ever be found.

Did Misty and Tommy Kill Haleigh?

Over two years and still no one in the Croslin’s family has came out with the truth about with what happened to the missing five year old Haleigh Cummings. Since Feb. 9, 2009 there have been numerous stories told of the events of that night, but all have been lies. The accusations have been thrown at Misty’s cousin Joe Overstreet, an easy mark with his seedy looks, drug habit, and previous run ins with law enforcement.

Misty Croslin Interview

Now Misty says she made that up. Chelsea Croslin, who joined in on these accusations, recently apologized and has reunited with Joe.

Tommy Croslin was recorded in the back of a police car instructing Misty to lie to authorities about Haleigh just before these accusations were made. Now they are both serving lengthy sentences for drug crimes, 25 years for Misty, 15 years for Tommy but no one has cracked.

It is my opinion at this point that Misty and/or Tommy Croslin killed Haleigh, either accidentally or on purpose. I have come to this conclusion after considering all other options. I’m not sure if Ronald Cummings knows anything. He was at work during the time of the disappearance, that’s if they have been truthful about the time of the disappearance. His 90 phone calls home is pretty suspicious. After the phone call frenzy, he reportedly asked to work overtime and then then stopped by a convenience store after work.

If he was so worried about Misty or what was going on in his home why did he ask for more hours and then stop anywhere before going home? I believe Ronald married Misty after Haleigh’s disappearance to avoid a statutory rape charge that was more likely to come after the world-wide publicity. Misty was only 15 when she moved into his home, making him at the very least, a pedophile and a drug dealer.

There are no heros here.

Joe has been thoroughly checked out and has not been arrested. Everyone has been scrutinized and no one has been arrested. Facing 25 years, Misty would have turned the real killer in if it was anyone else other than herself or her brother.

These siblings had a rough life and likely feel they were all each other had growing up. I believe Misty would have told the truth long before being sentenced if the truth would not have been worse on her or her brother than a 25 year drug sentence.

Even after they were thrown in jail on the drug charges, they felt that whatever sentence they get for those charges will be less than murder.
