Nashville police and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents arrested Lisa Croslin on a fugitive-from-justice warrant on Thursday. She was wanted by Florida authorities on forgery and theft charges.

Lisa Croslin was arrested after an area man told police she had cashed a check using checks stolen from his home.

Croslin is the mother of Misty Croslin, who police say was the last person to see Haleigh Cummings, now 6, when she disappeared Feb. 10 from a mobile home in Putnam County, Fla.

At the time of the disappearance, Misty Croslin was the girlfriend of Cummings’ father. They married about a month after Haleigh’s disappearance.

The Gainesville Sun reported Saturday that authorities in Putnam County are looking for a woman who dropped off a letter at the sheriff’s office that allegedly has information about Haleigh.

Authorities would not reveal the letter’s contents but said it could be “very helpful.”

Lisa Croslin’s arrest is not related to her granddaughter being missing but it is showing a pattern of criminal behavior from many member’s of the family. I’m sure you remember Tommy Croslin, Misty’s brother, being arrested a couple of weeks ago.

According to the Sheriff’s Dept., Marvin Martin, told deputies that he wanted to file charges against Hank Jr. (Tommy) for stealing his .38 caliber Colt revolver.

Tommy and his mother had come into his house to use the phone and Tommy went to the bathroom while his mom called someone. Later, Mr. Martin, who is elderly and legally blind, found the gun missing and knew they must have had something to do with it. The victim called Tommy’s sister-in-law and told her he knew either Tommy or his mom took his gun and he wanted it back or he would involve the police.

A few hours later, Tommy’s mother and dad brought the gun to him. His mother said that he stole it and hid it in the shed behind his house. Mr. Martin said he wasn’t really sure whether it was Tommy or his mother that did it, but he suspected it was Hank.

Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Tommy had stolen Ronald’s gun on or about the night Haleigh went missing and hid it in a culvert.

Ronald Cummings has been arrested over a dozen times with the charges being dropped almost every time. Most likely the fact that his mother works for the police department has something to do with that.

Lots of criminals in little Haleigh’s life, seems it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. She never had a chance.

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

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.

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.
