Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Johnny Greenwood said questioning Croslin-Cummings' brother and participating in the search were efforts by the law enforcement agency to make sure they cover all bases. And Greenwood repeated that investigators feel there are problems with Croslin-Cummings' reports of what happened that night.
"She's failed to account for her actions that evening," Greenwood said. "There's lots of holes in her statements. The things she said she was doing we verified she wasn't doing."
An attorney for Croslin-Cummings could not be reached Monday afternoon about the results of the search or comments from the Sheriff's Office.
In an unrecorded comment, Croslin-Cummings allegedly told the founder of the search firm there was an area that may not have been adequately searched for the girl. She said searchers should look for a red rose and provided a location.
The flower had previously been located and the area was shown to investigators before the weekend search.
The rose was located on some of the property behind the family's previous residence, he said.
Searchers looked for anything out of the ordinary, Giles said, such as signs of a struggle or disturbed ground.
Although nothing was located, Giles said it was a good search because at least it helps eliminate one area and may put investigators closer to concentrating on other locations.

So the flower was found behind previous residence. Are they meaning behind the mh on Green Ln. They said that it was on private property. I wonder whose property?
