:waitasec: Well this is old news, didn't Misty and Tommy tell this story to LE long time ago? The river was searched and the State even said on Tommy's sentencing date that he "DID NOT GIVE LE ANY CREDITABLE INFORMATION REGARDING THE HALEIGH CASE". That is why he got the book thrown at him IMO. Seems to me that maybe LE is ready to arrest a few people and Fields is starting damage control. JMO I don't buy any of this...it's old news.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -- Misty's attorney, Robert Fields, said she has told investigators what happened in that Putnam County mobile home the February 2009 night that the 5-year-old disappeared.
Fields said Misty told detectives the day after she was arrested on the drug charges in January that Joe Overstreet, and Hank Croslin Jr., came looking for a semi-automatic machine gun. Since the gun wasn't there, Overstreet took Haleigh as a substitute for the gun.
"According to Misty, Joe took Haleigh while Misty was laying in bed and covered herself up with a blanket," "They were there for like seven minutes, appeared to be on drugs and Misty says she saw Joe put Haleigh in a black bag and she heard Haleigh scream."
Putnam County investigators have interviewed Overstreet in Tennessee, where he currently lives. He has never been called a suspect or a person of interest in the Haleigh Cummings case.
"Investigators are still working this case diligently, and we believe we will find out what happened to Haleigh, but it's going to take time," Lt. Johnny Greenwood said Tuesday. "We don't know if the break in Haleigh's disappearance will come from behind bars or from the public."
"Everyone is considered a person of interest in Haleigh's disappearance except Crystal Sheffield and Ronald Cummings," he added.
Tuesday marks the day Haleigh would have turned 7 years old. Her family planned a balloon release for Tuesday afternoon.
Misty faced drug trafficking charges in two counties.
She faces up to 25 years in prison in SJC charge, in addition to up to 200 years on the 7 counts in Putnam County.

Fla. -- Misty Croslin has reportedly told investigators she heard Haleigh being attacked before she vanished.
Misty Croslin's attorney Robert Fields said Tuesday that she told investigators the attack came after a cousin came to the Satsuma mobile home looking for a gun belonging to Ronald Cummings.
Fields said "Haleigh was a substitute" for the missing gun.
PCSO said, "any information obtained in this case is not to be released" and that the "investigation is far too important to be jeopardized by releasing this type of sensitive information."
PCSO has questioned Misty Croslin's credibility.
Crystal Sheffield, said on Tuesday she believes Croslin is the key to the investigation.
"I want her to look me in my eyes and see the hurt because I don't have my baby," Sheffield said. "She could have done something."
Haleigh would have turned 7 on Tuesday.
