Parents of Misty Croslin Arrested on Cocaine Charges

The sideshows never end with these people. Where is Haleigh?

Oh, good grief!!!!!

Will poor little HaLeigh even have a family if she is ever found alive?

Unreal.....isn't Lisa already on probation?

They are no longer homeless. They now have a home, 3 meals a day and a bed to lay their phuked up heads on.

I saw this coming from Dad's last visit with Tommy, when he told him he wasn't paying mom's probation fees, as she was going to go to jail, and he didn't see any reason to pay the fees. Stupid ppl raising stupid kids.

OH SHIT

(Pardon my french)

kh

Now the only one missing is Timmy.........good lord, the whole fam damily.

Do they get a family dicount from the commissary? Where is Granny now? Is she next?

I know I family is suppose to stick together but they are taking it a bit far! Evidently this is the family business.

More hotel accommodations for the Croslins at taxpayer expense!

But seriously why couldn't it have bee George and Cindy,
that would have made my day even more!

She does not look 40, almost 41.

How old do you think she looks?

I think she looks at least 55.

thanks J4a, I was thinking the same thing.

At least 50.

No, 55 sounds better.

AJ I am confused!!

Did you write this to TJ? Did you sent it to him, or are you just hoping he reads it here?

As I said, I am confused!!!!

Lisa's 40 is the new 70..........

I guess what I was asking, mainly, does he actually read our thread?

"Terrim is a little smarter and stayed away from talking..."

i am not sure that it is "smart" to avoid talking when your child is missing.... seems that is only the case for the guilty ones.

truth is, that misty was a bit on the inconsistant side in the beginning, enough to house suspicion, and she is in jail now because she sold drugs. if she would have kept her little nose clean, she would not be in jail... i am hard pressed to be sympathetic to a drug dealer, honestly.

i know it has been argued that she was "set up" to sell drugs.... well that is fine, however, i dont care who OFFERS me to sell pills, i am not going to bite-- because i am not a criminal, and obviously the lot of them are.

dont sell drugs = dont go to jail
sell drugs = go to jail

I'll stand with you on that one AJ...It's too bad she couldn't have risen above her parents and had more expectations out of life...I'm sure if someone had asked her a year or so back where she expected to be at this time of her life she would not have answered married, divorced, jailed...It probably would have been married and living comfortably with the love of my life...Granted the drug $$ would have bought her the comfort she wanted but being a user she negated that aspect...Intelligent she's not...nor is she that street wise...Unfortunately she put herself in the position she's in, lets just hope that fortunately it may have just saved her life...

Drugs ruin lives!!! It is not always the way a kid is raised, some kids have a very good life, good parents, and they still go down that path of drugs. When the parents do drugs, have nothing to offer their kids, don't insist they stay in school, what can you expect from the kids?

Then, what about the next generation? When kids of druggies have kids themselves, someone has to step in and take over for the little ones to ever have a chance.

In the past 2 years, living through these pages, and others, I have determined Caylee and Haleigh are exactly where they belong, in the arms of God. With KC and CA, I can't imagine how Caylee would have turned out. With Ronald, Crystal, her hubby/step brother, and Misty, would Haleigh have had a chance in life? There was no one in either family that could have stepped up and taken over raising her like she deserved.

Of course, both of them were taken from 'us' as babies, and we see them as the innocents they were, so I hope the persons who took them get what they deserve. In Caylee's case, we have the perp, but I doubt we ever find out who took Haleigh, but at least part of her family will be punished, not for Haleigh, but for their life style.

Lisa Croslin bonds out of jail Fri 08/06/2010.

http://public.pcso.us/jail/bookingDetails.aspx?SYSID=762062&IMG=59601

Now how the heck did she do that? kh

Maybe Leonard came to the rescue again!

Oh Good Lawd! Gamma Flo Hollers is gonna be on JVM tonite. I guess she'll splain everything then.............. kh

What's she got to go home to??? I'll have to watch JVM tonite to get the scoop...G/ma Flo will no doubt have sumthin to say 'bout what's his name getting 15 yrs...If not I'll eat my hat !!!

Estee, she doesn't even have a home to go to. They were evicted and were living in one room before they were arrested.

My bad....... I think Lisa was just moved to be at Tommy's hearing today. Apologies. kh

kh...did she bond out or not???.If she did, where's she gonna go???.Maybe someone will donate a tent for her to erect at the nearest KOA or vacant lot next to a gas station...

I don't think so, Estee. She was in court with Tommy and the fam... and in her jumpsuit and cuffs. I think that must have been a transfer for her to go to the courthouse? kh

Granny Flo could barely keep her eyes open on JVM last night. I thought she was going to start snoring there for a minute.

Don'tcha know...them suthin folk get up when the cock crows and hit the sack when the sun sets !!!

JVM should have given her a Pepsi.

OK girls, I am lost! Did Tommy go to court yesterday at the place where he was in jail, or was his court case heard in a different location? Is mama in jail where Tommy used to be, or some place else? I guess what I'm trying to figure out, is she in the same place Misty is or not?

I know that doesn't make sense, but blame it on the muscle relaxers and pain meds. LOL

Haleigh Cummings Case – Lisa Croslin Talks For The First Time

Posted on August 20th, 2010 by Simon Barrett

Unlike some of the family members associated with the Haleigh Cummings case Lisa Croslin has very much tried to keep out of the media spotlight. No one in their right mind could possibly think that Lisa or her husband Hank had any direct or indirect hand in Haleigh Cummings disappearance. That of course has not prevented them from coming under the media microscope. While they may not be contenders for the parents of the year award they do care deeply about their children. That is clear from the hours of jail tapes that I have watched. Their major crime is guilt by association.

Lisa Croslin was released from jail on Tuesday, she had no money, no place to go, and no street clothes. No one even bothered to tell Hank Croslin about her release until a good Samaritan visited him on Wednesday. That same good Samaritan lent Lisa some clothes, and helped her find a place to stay. The location is not being broadcast, but it is a safe environment.

I put a proposal to Lisa, I would send a list of questions in writing, and if she would answer them, I would publish both the questions and answers in their entirety, no spin!

Q – Lisa thanks for talking to us. As I understand it, you are now out of jail. I am sure that the press vultures are hovering around, and you are wanting to avoid them, so without sharing any details, what are your plans now?

ANSWER: I would really like to go back to school. I want to stay off the drugs. My new friend has me going to church, looking for work and volunteering at the church food bank on Tuesdays.

Q – Do you think that the drug world is behind you?

ANSWER: Yes, I do. Thirty days in jail was a reality check. I know that with the good Lord and my supportive friends, I can do anything,.

Q - There is little doubt that drugs are a big problem in the world today. Do you think that the Croslins were unfairly targeted because of the Haleigh case?

ANSWER: Yes, I really do. Nancy Grace opens her mouth before she gets evidence and continually drags us to the ground.

Q – A few days ago my wife Jan showed me a shocking article about a cold blooded killing in Florida, The killer received a 15 year sentence. Tommy got the same sentence for a bottle of pills. I am a believer in that is you break the law then you should pay the price. But equating murder to a bottle of pills seems ridiculous. Should the laws be rethought?

ANSWER: Yes, they really should. Taking a life should result in death row. A bottle of pills isn’t equal to murder.

Q – You are out on probation, will you be able to visit Hank now? How about Tommy and Misty?

ANSWER: I cannot visit Hank yet because I don’t have a picture id. My daughter-in-law, Chelsae came down while I was in jail and got my car and everything I had, even my purse. My SS card, drivers license, birth certificate and everything is with her. I came out of the jail in borrowed clothes. She even had the clothes I was arrested in. I can’t visit Tommy or Misty because I can’t leave the county until my fines are paid.

Q – I heard a rumor that Tommy and Misty can not currently even send letters to each other. Is this true?

ANSWER: Yes.

Following yesterdays article BNN received several emails from people wanting to help Lisa Croslin. She does not need a hand out, she needs a hand up. She needs some good counselling, and a job, she also needs to be far away from the drug scene.

I am sure that there are people that will read this article and say “what a pointless interview, there is nothing new”. If you say that, then you need to take a deep breath and think. Most of us live in relative luxury, we have our computers, TV’s, food in the refrigerator, and even though life is hard, a roof over our heads.

I spent a number of years working with the homeless, people who have nothing but what they can carry. It is heartbreaking, and alas it is all too common today.

Lisa can not visit her husband Hank, or her children Misty and Tommy. She wants to go straight, to get away from the drug scene, but with her world in collapse can she succeed? Or to put this question another way, if you were in her position could you go straight?

Lisa’s answer to my final question was somewhat shorter than I had hoped for. I am being told by other sources that the reason Misty and Tommy cannot exchange letters is once again due to an identification issue. For reasons beyond sanity, Misty must produce a birth certificate as proof of identification! Do the jail authorities think that she is not Misty Croslin? My mind boggles!

Uh oh! Trouble in BNN land? kh

Kim Picazio Outs BNN’s Lies About Lisa Croslin


Have the BNN boys stooped to a new all time low, just to get more hits to their Web site? In an exclusive telephone interview, Kim Picazio vents over the out right lies allegedly told by Simon Barrett about Lisa Croslin. As a person who was down on her luck and who has been trying very hard to get back on her feet, Simon wrongly portrayed Lisa as being “drunk, and higher than a kite on Xanax.”

Lisa Croslin was Roughed Up!

This Blogger last caught up with the BNN boys in Simon Barrett – Stupid is as Stupid Wrote. Simon seems to enjoy using every opportunity available to him to get back at a certain Emmy Award-winning journalist on BNN. Recently, he knocked out a couple of posts about Lisa Croslin that rubbed me the wrong way. And, he definitely has managed to get the attention of at least two other persons who contacted me by email.

In Haleigh Cummings Update – Lisa Croslin Crashes And Burns Simon Barrett wrote:

“Where did Lisa Croslin get the money from to buy the drugs? And where did the money for the booze come from?

Lisa herself mentioned two names last night. … One I feel was just trying to be another good (if misguided) Samaritan, the other conjures up more sinister journalistic ambitions.”

That sounds awfully like a thinly veiled swiped aimed at a certain journalist by Simon Barrett to me. Further Simon asks the specific question:

“Where did Lisa Croslin get the money from to buy the drugs?”

In Haleigh Cummings Case – Lisa Croslin Talks For The First Time Simon asked a series of questions that were allegedly answered by Lisa Croslin. So, I have a question of my own for Simon Barrett to answer.

Did Lisa Croslin answer those questions of yours in exchange for money?

Now that Simon himself has raised the question, it sounds like a definite possibility to me.

I further ask why in the world did this BNN fool feel the need to write about Lisa Croslin, at this point in time? Could it be all about getting more hits to BNN? Or, how about Simon taking yet another underhanded attack at a person that he threw under the bus a long time ago?

Lisa Croslin was NOT drunk or high on Xanax!

Today, I received a couple of emails from some prominent people who have been actively involved in the Haleigh Cummings case all along. One of them was from a well known Florida based attorney, Kim Picazio, who wrote:

“Please give me a call … I am fed slap up. Thank you.”

So, I spent 23 minutes talking with Kim as she heatedly vented about the underhanded tactics of the BNN boys who had taken yet another low-down swipe at one of Kim’s friends. As you may recall, Kim Picazio was the original attorney for Crystal Sheffiel, the biological mother of Haleigh Cummings. Ms. Picazio is more involved in the Haleigh case than most people realize.

According to what Kim told me on the phone, Simon’s snitch or source for his misinformation about Lisa Croslin being “drunk, and higher than a kite on Xanax” was allegedly Harriet Sweet.

What actually happened was that Chelsea Croslin previously had come down from Massachusetts to retrieve all of her mother’s belongings. She must have feared the worst as she took virtually everything back up North with her, including Lisa’s street clothes and ID.

Then quite unexpectedly, Lisa Croslin was released from jail.

Kim Picazio being aware of the situation and concerned about Lisa Croslin’s welfare stepped in with her contacts and money for a phone, clothes, and a few basic living essentials that were bought from a dollar store by Lisa.

Lisa’s probation officer was aware of and approved her prescription for Xanax. Lisa takes only three pills a day.

Kim’s good Samaritan contact managed to put up Lisa in a Christian Women’s homeless shelter. Later that night, a women at the same homeless shelter discovered that Lisa had Xanax on her, jumped her, stole her medication, and roughed her up. The staff at the shelter had to take Lisa Croslin to a medical center out of fear that she might have some broken bones. Lisa was thoroughly examined by a doctor at the emergency center. At no point was Lisa Croslin ever drunk or high on Xanax as erroneously reported by Simon Barrett.

Lisa Croslin was kicked out of the Women’s homeless shelter because they, also, do not allow any prescription medication on the premises. Presumably, at this point, Simon’s snitch called the Barretts and lied about Lisa Croslin being “drunk, and higher than a kite on Xanax”.

Kim Picazio has assured me that Lisa Croslin is presently safely residing at an undisclosed location in Satsuma, Florida. And, that she has subsequently been in contact with both her and Chelsea Croslin by telephone. Lisa wont be able to visit the Putnam County jail until she first obtains a picture ID.

Is it time for a retraction, Simon Barrett?

Flame war! Don't get me wrong, I have serious issues with the whole Kim/Cobra/Art Harris 'posse' from their previous questionable involvement in Haleigh's case................. just reporting here. kh

ChattyCathy said,in August 24th, 2010 at 7:26 pm Statement From Kim Picazio….

I am abhorred that any person holding themselves out to be giving its readers factual, investigative information on this case, would use another human being’s misfortunes to score a few points against an enemy. To toss aside a struggling individual’s good faith attempt at becoming clean and sober for the sole purpose of airing a scandalous, detailed account of a relapse into drugs and alcohol, is the height of yellow-journalism. The loyal readers at BNN were misled. They were handed a bag of goods. This fabricated story was obviously written to incite outrage at Simon’s arch nemesis, Art Harris, who was coyly mentioned in the customary cliffhanger punch line at the tail end of the piece. Aren’t we all just exhausted with these snide innuendo that never lead to anything or anyone? Unfortunately, it keeps the loyal BNN reader hitting that website, and ups the amount advertisers pay them at the end of the month. It’s like preying on good people’s thirst for honest information – and keeping their pallet just wet enough to keep them coming back for more. More of what, is the question.

The readers have not yet realized how many times they have been duped by the likes of these fabricated story lines, and blubbering, chronic lies by Cobra (in order to get air time from anywhere, anyhow, by saying anything he can possibly make up out of the sheer blue sky). It is just sickening to me at this point. Ask Cobra any given fact of the case – when it all comes out in the wash, you’ll see he knew nothing at all. Nothing whatsoever. He makes it up as he goes along. I’ve seen him do it before my very eyes. What’s worse is that the BNN readers have actually been thanking Simon for “keeping them apprised of the truth”. Ha! That’s like thanking David Koresh for showing them the way toward holy salvation! Perhaps they should start demanding some hard answers from that website. First Question: does Simon earn any funds by way of salary or advertising from BNN? If not, what does he do for income to support himself? Are the loyal readers who click onto BNN all day lining the pockets of Simon in advertising fees? Have they wondered why he packs each story with baseless, ridiculous innuendo, unfulfilled cliff hangers (yawn), and triple hearsay by the likes of Cobra, who clearly knows very little about the facts in the Haleigh case? Maybe it is to earn more hits, or to enjoy this 15 minutes of popularity that he’s never otherwise earned in his life heretofore. Who knows.

In my opinion, a person who recently befriends Lisa Croslin at Church, persuades Lisa to confide in her, allows Lisa to believe she is there to help and guide her, then snitches all of Lisa’s personal information to Simon Barrett, is no “Good Samaritan” – that is deceitful, and immoral, in my opinion. This person who Simon calls a “Good Samaritan” was calling him and Jan in the middle of the night from the hallways of the hospital, telling them private information about her “friend”? And what is even worse, is Simon either intentionally reported this fabricated headliner of Lisa being drunk and high at the medical center, or he was irresponsible enough not to check the validity of the information. In either instance, he should be ashamed of himself. This story was written in glee by the likes of Simon Barrett, who saw it as a chance to pit his readers against Art, and me, and to take advantage of Lisa Croslin. Whether you like her, or hate her, to lie about her recovery, her personal life, and her medical status, then publicate the same on the internet, is just unconscionable. And Jan can just quit the “we wouldn’t stoop so low as to give an addict money” act – No, Jan, you’d just make sure your snitch called in and reported on Lisa’s every move. Even better – you’d demand “answers to questions from Lisa” (actually, the Good Samaritan – Lisa has never spoken to you or Simon Barrett), in exchange for a call to your readers for assistance for Lisa? The ole’ quid pro quo! Wow – BNN’s just in it “for Haleigh” alright!

BNN readers should beware of who they come to the game to cheer for. Plain and simple, if I was a BNN supporter thinking I’m getting accurate information from the website, I’d be demanding some hard answers right about now. I’d want to know why Simon got me all riled up over a relapse by Lisa, that never happened. What was the motivation to print that story packed of lies, snickering insults, and typical under-the-breath snipes. And especially, I’d want to know why he took this particular opportunity, within a story bulging at the seams with slanderous falsities, to take a swipe at Art Harris, when all the while, he himself had a wolf in sheep’s clothing in place in Putnam, feeding him personal information on a desperate Lisa Croslin. My take? This is irresponsible journalism at its best, and intentional manipulation of the facts for a free poke at Art (as well as hits on the site), at worst. BNN – you should be ashamed of yourself. The word “immoral bottom feeder” actually sums it up quite well.
