Tommy says Joe Overstreet was in Putnam County the night Haleigh disappeared. He says Overstreet was angry about an earlier fight he had with Haleighs father, Ronald Cummings. Tommy says Overstreet came over to Haleighs home to steal a gun. When he couldnt find it, Tommy says Overstreet demanded Haleigh, and then kidnapped her.
I'm just scared...I don't want no one to hurt my kids, said Croslin.
Tommy Croslins lawyer, James Werter, sent the following statement out talking about why he decided to release this jailhouse phone call:

Attached to the email of this press release is a copy of Tommy Croslins telephone conversation with his grandmother, Flora Hollars, on April 11, 2010. It shows that he did not discuss the Haleigh Cummings matter with her as she describes. It should be listened to and examined carefully for accurate reporting and addresses certain questions posed by the media.
The tape demonstrates how Tommy decided to come forth voluntarily to law enforcement to provide information regarding the evening of February 9, 2009, despite threats made towards Tommy and his wife and three children. It indicates to the public and law enforcement the level of credibility of Tommys information.
Tommy has been cooperating with law enforcement since April 11, 2010. We have met with Putnam County Sheriffs Office and FDLE agents twice for extended periods to review the activities of the evening and early morning of February 9 -10, 2010.
It is this attorneys position that Tommy Croslin, Jr, has cooperated fully despite his fear for his family. Tommy has no culpability in this crime and wishes justice for Haleigh; again, demonstrated in the aforementioned phone conversation.
