The Putnam County Sheriff's Office declined to detail the agency's reasons for weekend interviews in the disappearance of 6-year-old Haleigh Cummings.

"It has been the position of our investigative team not to release the details of interviews," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Johnny Greenwood in a statement released Tuesday. "I can confirm that investigators traveled to Massachusetts to conduct interviews in this case."

Greenwood reported the interviews were "totally unrelated" to an alleged sighting of Haleigh at a Massachusetts Wal-Mart.

Croslin-Cummings made statements that her brother had been acting strangely after the girl vanished.

EquuSearch reported after the tests that Croslin-Cummings had failed them.

Putnam County Sheriff's Office Media Release:
September 8th, 2009

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has received numerous requests for information and interviews regarding the Haleigh Cummings investigation and actions taken by the Sheriff’s Office this past weekend. It has been the position of our investigative team not to release the details of interviews. I can confirm that investigators traveled to Massachusetts to conduct interviews in this case. These interviews are totally unrelated to the alleged sighting of Haleigh in a Massachusetts Wal-Mart.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office will not be participating in any formal interviews or providing statements regarding the events of the past weekend at this time. The main concern of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office is finding Haleigh Cummings and returning her home to her family.

New details in the Haleigh Cummings investigation
Reported by: Cathi Carson

Last Update: 3:54 pm Sept 8, 2009
Fla.--Investigators from Putnam County Sheriff's Office traveled to Massachusetts to interview Timothy Croslin and his wife. Croslin is Haleigh's step-mother's brother.

Lindsy Croslin says investigators had a lot of questions, 14 hours worth.

"Why did you move to Massachusetts? Like they were running from something. That's where Chelsea grew up. That's where her family is."

She says investigators tried to expose holes in the couple's story.


"They'd tell Chelsea one thing Tim said and then tell Tim something Chelsea said. Almost like they were trying to get people to argue to tell something. But none of us know anything. This part of the Croslin family doesn't know anything."

But she's not as sure about Misty Cummings, who is now married to Haleigh's dad.

"Honestly I think Misty knows something she's not telling.
I just don't know what it is. It could be something stupid. Maybe she wasn't home, so be it, but you didn't kill the child."

Putnam County Sheriff's are not releasing any details about the interviews.

Haleigh Cummings' aunt speaks out

Haleigh's aunt and uncle who used to live in Putnam County moved to Massachusetts a few months ago. Family members say an investigator went out there on Saturday and met with the couple.

Haleigh is Lindsey Croslin&#8217;s niece by marriage. She has put her home on the market, and is trying to sell off a lot of her stuff. She says she's not feeling very safe any more in this Satsuma neighborhood. &#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m setting up my children to get stolen because they're here and this is where it happened.&#8221;

Haleigh lived just around the corner from Lindsay Croslin. The mother of three says between the family bickering and the public ridicule is getting to be too much so she plans to join her brother in law Tim and his wife Chelsea in Massachusetts.

The couple was questioned on Saturday by investigators but Lindsey Croslin is confident it was simply standard procedure. In fact she's happy to hear deputies are really working this case. &#8220;They had Chelsea in questioning for like 14 hours. Yeah, they took her in the morning, let her go home and got her again. Asked her the same basic questions, do you know anything about haleigh, did you or Tim try to help misty to hide haleigh...yeah. Crazy questions.&#8221;

Lindsey Croslin says the family has started to pull away from Misty Croslin-Cummings who has failed several polygraph tests.

The stepmother of missing Putnam County girl Haleigh Cummings got a restraining order against her older brother.

Misty Croslin-Cummings took legal action against her brother Hank after he was involved in a fight with Haleigh's father, who ended up getting arrested.

In the court documents, Misty claims to be afraid of her brother because of his temper. Hank refused to comment on the case, but his mother said they are moving to Massachusetts.

That's where investigators were looking for Haleigh last weekend.

Croslin-Cummings granted restraining order

<snipped>
Misty Croslin-Cummings, stepmother of missing child Haleigh Cummings, has been granted a restraining order against her brother, Hank Croslin Jr.

"She received a permanent injunction on Wednesday," Robert Fields, her attorney, said.

The injunction will be in place until further order of the court, which was overseen Wednesday by Judge Elizabeth Morris.

Fields said Croslin Jr. stated in the court hearing that he is moving to Massachusetts.

Over the past weekend, the search for Haleigh Cummings was focused in the Cape Cod area resulting from a tip that the 6-year-old had been spotted at a Walmart.

Lt. Johnny Greenwood, spokesman for the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, said police interviewed Timothy Croslin and his wife - Misty's brother and sister-in-law - but would not say why.

Exclusive details in Haleigh Cummings investigation revealed, Interview with Chelsea Croslin
"Snip" Reported by: Matt Saffer

Last Update: 8:59 pm 9/11/09

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Chelsea spoke with Action News over the phone. This is the first time she&#8217;s talked to any news outlet after Putnam County investigators interview her and her husband this past weekend.

&#8220;We&#8217;ve now been thrown into the spotlight of this, we&#8217;re known as the Cape Cod couple. I mean, just to give us a name, this is nothing I ever in my life expected to have to go through. It&#8217;s obviously not Haleigh's fault I&#8217;m going through this, but I just don&#8217;t understand why I got thrown into this so hard,&#8221; said Croslin.


&#8220;We tried starting our lives over here. We moved up here so my girls could get a good education. We could get a good home and be around our family, and when all of this got over with in Florida we could be together and just continue on with our lives and let our kids grow up and have normal lives. And now, they&#8217;re making us out to be something we&#8217;re not,&#8221; Chelsea said.

Chelsea Croslin also spoke to us awhile about why she believes Misty has nothing to do with Haleigh&#8217;s disappearance.


Chelsea and her husband Tim say they moved from Florida to get away from the investigation and give detectives the space they needed to get the job done. They both say they will continue to cooperate with investigators and answer any questions they may have.

Details in Cummings case revealed

"Snip" MATT SAFFER | FOX 30 Action News Jacksonville

Chelsea Croslin spoke with Jacksonville FOX affiliate, WAWS TV , over the phone from her Massachusetts home.

"We've now been thrown into the spotlight of this, were known as the Cape Cod couple. I mean, just to give us a name, this is nothing I ever in my life expected to have to go through. Its obviously not Haleigh's fault I'm going through this, but I just don't understand why I got thrown into this so hard," said Chelsea Croslin.


Chelsea says the chief PC investigator in the Haleigh Cummings disappearance was accompanied by PCSO, as well as two Massachusetts State Troopers this past weekend. They showed up to her home around 9am and asked her to come with them for questioning.

"I was down there probably from about 9 o'clock to noon. They just wanted to go over the phone lines. They wanted to go over time lines, and try to fill in gaps of what happened that night and who Misty talked to.," said Croslin.

Chelsea says ever since this investigation began, her family has been struggling to stick together.


Chelsea also spoke about why she believes Misty has nothing to do with Haleigh's disappearance.
We believe Misty. She is one of the best people with children out there,"
Misty dropped out of school in 6th grade. Misty doesn't have much book smarts to be able to fool the FBI and FDLE that came there and interrogated her for hours and Lie detected her over and over and over… http://www.myfoxorlando.com/dpp/news/cummings_case/091109_Details_in_Cummings_case_revealed
 
Misty Croslin holding back in Haleigh Cummings disappearance? Misty’s mom, dad, and aunt speak video
September 12, 7:11 PM
<snipped>
Now, it appears that Misty Croslin and her family are becoming more estranged. Lindsey Croslin , Misty Croslin&#8217;s aunt, doubts that Misty was home at the time Haleigh went missing. Reports also state that Lindsey Croslin told investigators that during that 14 hour questioning of Timothy and Chelsea Croslin, detectives wanted to know if the couple had helped Misty hide Haleigh. Police still haven&#8217;t released any information regarding the possible sighting of Haleigh; they are reportedly reviewing surveillance video footage.


The estrangement of Misty Croslin and her family has become more pronounced as a Florida judge granted Misty Croslin-Cummings a restraining order against her brother. Misty Croslin&#8217;s father doesn&#8217;t believe that she was home at the time of Haleigh&#8217;s disappearance either. Additionally, phone records show multiple calls between Misty and her brother (Timothy Croslin)during the night Haleigh Cummings went missing. On top of all this estrangement, comes the announcement that Ronald Cummings and Misty Croslin had a fight the night that Haleigh vanished. One of the most startling revelations to surface in recent days, however, is the fact that Ronald Cummings tried to reach Misty Croslin-Cummings by phone during the night of Haleigh Cummings&#8217; disappearance and couldn&#8217;t reach her.
