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.

NEWS RELEASE

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement hosted a round table gathering Thursday (06/04/09) of all the different agencies and personnel involved in the investigation of missing five year old Haleigh Cummings. Approximately 40 people participated in the meeting to discuss what has been accomplished so far, what needs are still pending, as well as focus on any new directions that may be pursued. The assembly was attended by members of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office.

During the discussion, a review was conducted of the initial call, searches that had been performed, evidence that had been gathered, results of laboratory analysis of the evidence and the results of various interviews by the different agencies.

The participants determined there are still some of the more than 4,000 leads received to be followed up on, and different ways of prioritizing those leads were discussed. Also, quite a lot of evidence was initially collected by the FDLE Crime Scene Technicians. Some has not yet been analyzed, and priorities were set for that analysis. Each agency accepted responsibility for various continuing assignments as the investigation moves forward.

No suspects were identified as a result of this meeting, and no persons were eliminated. The participants emphasized that the Haleigh Cummings case IS NOT a cold case. There are still investigative leads to be followed, evidence to be analyzed, and previous interviews to be re-conducted. The group intends to meet again in 30 days if the case has not yet been solved.

Sheriff Jeff Hardy was very complimentary of the efforts thus far, and commented, “There were a lot of new ideas and a lot of things that we’ve looked at that we’re going to look at again.” He further stated, “We are going to follow this through to the end.”
