Misty also explained to her father why she failed previous lie detector tests. She said that it wasn’t because she was dishonest in her answers, but rather she was nervous speaking about missing Haleigh Cummings.

Haleigh Cummings update: Ron Cummings negotiating plea deal, would testify against Misty Croslin
Haleigh Cummings
Ronald Cummings, the father of missing Florida girl Haleigh Cummings is negotiating a plea deal with authorities, reports say. Due to some discrepancies, some reports state that he has accepted the plea deal while others say the deal is in the works. Since there hasn’t been a major announcement or court hearing, it appears that the negotiations are still underway and that Ron Cummings has not yet accepted the deal.
According to reports, Ron Cummings would serve 15-years on drug charges and would testify against his ex-wife Misty Croslin. Though the cases are separate, Misty Croslin is the last person to see Haleigh Cummings alive. Her brother, Hank “Tommy” Croslin has spoken to his attorney and reports state that he has admitted he knows what happened to Haleigh the night of February 9, 2009: Joe Overstreet killed her! At this time, police have not arrested Joe Overstreet nor have they named him as a suspect.
Potential evidence was taken from the St. Johns River during a search for Haleigh’s remains and with the silence that has followed from authorities, it is likely that they are awaiting testing results. Should the evidence provide conclusive evidence regarding the disappearance and murder of Haleigh Cummings, they will certainly hold a press conference.
Ronald Cummings is scheduled for trial on July 19, 2010; his attorney hopes that the plea deal will be negotiated before that date.

Haleigh Cummings
There has been major developments in the Haleigh Cummings case for the past month. Investigators have shifted Haleigh Cummings case from a missing child to a homicide investigation. Now, Tommy Croslin’s attorney, Jim Werter, has released phone conversations between Tommy and Grandma Flo. The audio tapes revealed that Tommy did know what happened to Haleigh (as Jim Werter previously stated). The audio tape clears up much controversy as Grandma Flo told a number of different stories on national television.
Jim Werter said that he released the jail audio to prove that he never said that he was responsible for Haleigh’s death. Grandma Flo apparently had several stories confused or became more confused as she spoke on television. Tommy Croslin alleges that Joe Overstreet is the one who murdered Haleigh Cummings. Tommy also told Grandma Flo that he feared for the safety of his children.
Jim Werter said that it was Tommy Croslin’s testimony to authorities that revitalized the case and shifted it from a missing child case to a homicide investigation.

Haleigh Cummings update: Misty and Tommy Croslin’s father speaks out
Haleigh Cummings
There’s been a lot of rumors and innuendo in the Haleigh Cummings case and now Misty and Tommy Croslin’s father is speaking out. Hank Croslin Sr. says he doesn’t know what happened to Haleigh, but he knows that Misty and Tommy had nothing to do with it. It was the first time that Hank Croslin Sr., has spoken about the new allegations that Misty, Tommy, and Joe Overstreet were involved in Haleigh’s disappearance.
Haleigh Cummings disappeared somewhere between the night of February 9, 2009 and the early morning hours of February 10th.

“They didn’t hurt that baby. That’s the one thing I can tell you,” he said of his son and daughter. “They don’t have the heart to do that,” Hank Croslin Sr., told News 4 Jax. “It’s like the whole world has condemned us, and we didn’t do nothing.”

Haleigh Cummings update: The many stories of Flora Hollars
Haleigh Cummings
Flora Hollars is the grandmother of Misty Croslin. She has spent a great deal of time on television giving her versions of the events that transpired on February 9, 2009: the night Haleigh Cummings disappeared. Now, people question why Flora Hollars is speaking, and some have even questioned how a grandmother could say the things she has about her own flesh and blood.
There are five accounts that Flora Hollars has given and she has contradicted or changed her stories several times. In one account she says that Misty Croslin couldn’t have had anything to do with the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings, next she blames Misty Croslin for Haleigh’s murder. She points to Misty’s jealousy of Ronald Cummings love for his daughter to back up the theory.
When asked why Flora Hollars was speaking she said that Tommy Croslin called her, confessed the events that transpired the night/early morning of February 9th and 10th and then approximately 15 minutes later, Misty Croslin called. The idea that these two called Flora Hollars within fifteen minutes of each other to give apparent ‘confessions’ seems farfetched.
It would be one thing to say, “Do you believe Flora Hollars?” But with so many stories, it would be more appropriate to ask the question, “Which one of Flora Hollars stories do you believe?”
So, do you believe Flora Hollars and if so, which story do you believe?
