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.

Action News spoke with the Deputy from the Lake Mary Police Department who was on scene when the women were cuffed. Officer Zach Hudson says the women were cooperative with investigators during the questioning. He says when Misty was put on the ground and cuffed, she looked up at the officer and said, Im Misty Cummings, you might know me.
Officer Hudson says there was no bravado in Mistys voice, and she wasnt acting as though she thought she needed special attention. He says it sounded as though she just wanted the officers to know she was not a threat.
Mistys lawyer Robert Fields tells Action News he believes the 911 caller made up the entire story. He says during the 911 call, the woman told dispatchers the license plate number of the vehicle they were driving. Fields says if the caller was in front of the suspects car, she would never be able to read off the license plate to dispatchers. He believes the caller initiated the call to 911 to report a false claim to get back at Misty and the driver for an earlier altercation on the road.
