Investigators: Misty Cumming’s Story Has Inconsistencies


Like we missed that.

SATSUMA -- Investigators in Putnam County said Monday there are inconsistencies when it comes to the story of Misty Croslin, the 17-year-old who was the last to see Haleigh Cummings alive.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office said the agency has already spent more than 30 hours talking to the teen.

Misty said she was in a mobile home more than a month ago when someone took the 5-year-old girl in the middle of the night.

However, a sheriff's captain told a Jacksonville TV station her story hasn't stayed the same about exactly what happened in the eight hours between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. the day Haleigh was taken.

Investigators have looked into hundreds of leads in the case, but said they still don't have a solid timeline of exactly when the girl vanished. Misty made headlines herself March 12 when she married Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings.

For anyone who missed it, watch the Ron and Misty appearance on the Today show (it's on YouTube) and notice the body language. Ron is smug about the investigation, Crystal and the Sheriff's department. Misty is quite outspoken about the investigators pressuring her and how rude they were, raising their voices and calling her a liar. Then when asked why her story changed she clams up, looks to Ron to answer the question, then simply says "I don't know".
.
Maybe she said they were in the same bed but meant the same bedroom. Maybe she was just so taken back--by just waking, Hayleigh's gone, then Ron is home, yelling, the police are there--that she just was confused and didn't have time to really reflect on what was happening. Those answers would be so simple but she fumbles, as if the truth stops her. Or Ron. Or something.
