Tommy Croslin’s Voice and Speech Patterns in Jailhouse Confession Ring True. What Does Ron Cummings Know?

May 19, 2010

TOMMY’S NON DECEPTIVE VOCAL TELLS

Tommy Croslin, brother of Misty Croslin, the ex step mother of missing five year old Haleigh Cummings, told his grandmother, Flora Hollars that he knows how Haleigh died. Based on his vocal tells during his phone conversation with his grandmother he appears to me to be telling the truth.

He is fluent in speech, without hesitation, repetition, and does’t use ” like um and ums” – tells which can often be heard when there is deception. He has a fluidity to the rate of speech. His tone of voice is appropriately inflected, especially when he speaks about being scared. He says that he is scared of anyone hurting his kids and I believe him. In fact, n you can actually hear the fearful emotional state reflected in his vocal tone.

I especially believe Tommy when he tells his grandmother that he was threatened to keep quiet about what happened. Perhaps that would seem to explain the headless rat that arrived in his mailbox, which Ron allegedly sent as a reminder to not “rat him out”.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO HALEIGH?

Grandmother Flora Hollars questioned her grandson Tommy about that horribly fateful night that Haleigh was last seen. She said:

“I was told that Ron come home, and Haleigh and found one of his pills and took it and was dead … Ron called you to get you to come up there and help Misty clean the house while he disposed of Haleigh,”

But then Tommy denied this scenario which his grandmother presented and said it simply wasn’t true.

He said he was threatened to stay quiet about what happened, or risk being killed. He told his grandmother he feels more safe in jail.

Tommy then asked his grandmother about his sister Misty and if she has told investigators all she knows about Haleigh.

This line of Tommy’s questioning definitely leads me to believe what I have said all along that Misty knows a lot about what happened to the little girl.

I read it in her vocal pattern during the 911 call and saw it in her body language on every subsequent television interview she did where she discussed how she didn’t know what happened to little Haleigh.

DID HALEIGH OVERDOSE ON OXYCONTIN?

Even though Tommy denied Flora’s scenario that she heard Haleigh and found one of his pills and took it and was dead …and even denied the rest of her scenario that “ Ron called you to get you to come up there and help Misty clean the house while he disposed of Haleigh,” the real question is, what part of the scenario is Tommy denying? Is there any part of the scenario which is true? Is he denying the part that:

Haleigh found one of his pills and took it and was dead, or that
Ron called him to come up there and help Misty clean the house, or that
Ron disposed of Haleigh?

Was Tommy saying “no” to all of this story or only to a part of it?

She goes on to write that she is troubled by Ron's body language and behavior. Tommy telling the truth and Ron lying? This is definitely a different take than I've had, but it is worth a read.

I haven't watched enough Nancy Grace lately to realize that Dr. Lillian's views almost always corroborate what NG is saying, but I've noticed that they almost always corroborate the popular opinions on the various blogs.

I used to be a huge fan of Dr. Glass. But over the past few months I have lost all respect for her and her self-proclaimed "expert knowledge" in the art of reading body language.

While I once found her articles/opinions fascinating........ I soon became not just bored, but kinda PO'd. She has very strong personal opinions about certain people (especially about men... and even more especially about men who cheat on their wives) and these opinions seem to color her 'readings.'

I see her now as a woman with preconceived ideas about certain people (not exclusively men but women too, although she is generally more sympathetic towards women, in my opinion) that she then incorporates into her analysis of their body language.

In other words... she forms her opinion FIRST, and THEN reads their body language which (suprise, suprise!) totally backs up her own preconcieved personal opinions.... this seems to occur even more when her opinions back up what she thinks the public wants to hear.

This is my opinion only. So please don't take offense.
