Art Harris has learned new details about Mistys behaviour the night she reported Haleigh missingthat she had balked at babysitting Haleigh Cummings, and her little brother, JR, complaining she was just too exhausted after a three day binge of drugs and sex with party pals.
She told me, I didnt want to even watch the kids that night because I was too tired from partying that weekend, her sister in law, Lindsay, told me in an exclusive interview Tuesday night that I broke on CNN HLNs Nancy Grace Show.
Then, Misty related, Ronald Cummings mother, offered to pay her. She told me, Teresa (Neves) said, Ill pay you to watch em. But I told her, No, you dont have to pay me, Ill watch em. Remember that weekend, she and Ronald were fighting after she came back, so she told his mother, No, Ill go home and watch em if its okay with Ronald.
I reached Lindsay as she was driving her in-laws home after a visit with Misty and her brother.
More than five hours of Mistys intimate family conversations, and phone calls between other defendants, are expected to be released any day now,
but the new details were reporting from todays visit may not make this edit.
The night Misty at first refused to babysit Haleigh was Sunday night, Feb. 8, about 30 hours before she reported Haleigh missing. That night, sources close to the case tell me she told police she and Ronald stayed up all night fighting, and overslept. Frantic he might be late dropping Haleigh again after so many tardys, and risk losing custody, Ron loaded her and Misty into his purple Altima,drove like a bat out of h*ll, neighbors said, nearly running down other children at the bus stop.
He was driving like a crazy man, said Jerry, a neighbor.
After changing Haleighs blouse at GGMS, they raced to school, where Misty walked Haleigh to class, late, then it was back to the house to crash.
Neighbor Jerry and his girlfriend, told police they were within earshot of Misty when she was in family van, waiting to pick up Haleigh when she got off the school bus. Thats when Jerry tells told Art
he and his girlfriend overheard her talking to friends, apparently griping about the poor quality of the previous nights party drugs, how they were bad ****, and that she had no intention of ever using the same source again.
It is said that Misty; screamed at one of the small boys in the van to be quiet, believed to be JR, then backhanded him in the face. In a separate incident, another mother interviewed said she was at a Palatka medical clinic and witnessed Misty grabbing a kicking JR and dragging him out the door and to the car, cursing him to behave.
PCS investigators, child services never filed a report that she was a danger to the children after speaking with the woman.
Art,reported the new details on NG's Show Tuesday night, including that Misty told her parents she was frightened behind bars, afraid what might happen if she went to prison on the trafficking chargesand that detectives on the Haleigh task force had been grilling her, playing mind games, as she put it, trying to leverage the drug charges to pry details about the Haleigh case, even pressuring her to implicate certain unnamed people in the childs disappearance.
Misty maintains she was sleeping that night and doesnt know what happened to Haleigh.
She says, (police) are in there telling her to say, XYZ person said this, and that person said that, but they wont break her because she doesnt know nothing, her father, Hank Croslin told me Tuesday night. I have my own hunches, but Id swear on my grandchildren Misty had nothing to do with, said Hank Sr.
