breaking news tonight, florida. a 5-year-old little girl tucked into bed. five hours later, she's gone. vanished into thin air. the back door propped wide open. daddy comes home from the night shift to find not a trace of little haleigh. bombshell tonight. girlfriend/babysitter misty croslin, the last known person to see haleigh alive flunked a private polygraph. flunked "miserably." not only that, reports she flunked a voice stress test as well. more disheartening, croslin
8:01 pm
changes her story. now saying up to four people in the home the night haleigh goes missing, but calling it a dream-like memory. this on the heels of police announcing haleigh was not kidnapped by a stranger. repeat, it was no stranger that snuck into the home that night and snatched the little girl. investigators say croslin refuses to give straight answers and to account for crucial hours surrounding haleigh's disappearance. in another stunning twist, cops reveal physical evidence at the crime scene that contradicts croslin's story. tonight, where is 5-year-old florida girl haleigh? >> mystery croslin wanted to clear her name so a polygraph was set up. she failed it miserably. >> it indicated that mystery was
8:02 pm
deception indicated is the official statement. which is no surprise to us. we've said all along that misty has been inconsistent in her statements. >> i just woke up and my back door was open and i can't find my daughter. >> can't find what? >> my daughter. >> she wanted to clear her name, so he set up a polygraph. she failed it miserably. miller says croslin took a voice analysis test and failed that, too. >> did you intentionally withhold any information regarding haleigh's disappearance? her answer was no. she failed it miserably with a 99% deception. >> she's gone. that's all i know. when i woke up, when i went to sleep she was there and then when i woke up, she was gone. >> here's the back door and here's the lock. it sticks.
8:03 pm
so there you go. now we open the back door and here is the back screen door. the one that was propped open with the cinderblock, okay? now if you see, when you close, it slams. it makes a loud noise. but if you leave this door, this slowly closes as well. >> i just want everybody to know that i didn't do anything with that little girl. i love her like she's my own. i'll do anything to get her back. >> i agree with the point that was made by tim miller's investigator, which is that mystery's consistency is inconsistency. >> you'll do anything? then tell the truth. and breaking news. live from l.a., a quiet apartment community reeling after a suitcase discovered in a dumpster opened to reveal a female body. identity unsolved superdays, much less how she came to be murdered and then thrown away like trash. the body inside that suitcase, 28-year-old model jasmine fiore.
8:04 pm
brutally beaten, her teeth pulled out of her head, her fingers removed, cut off to conceal identity. how i.d. the body? serial numbers off of fiore's breast implants. her body that traumatized. a reality tv start wanted for the murder found dead in a hotel room. 32-year-old ryan jenkins left his bmw and boat trailer abandoned at the u.s./canadian border. jenkns, dead, hanging by a belt from this coat rack inside this hotel room. jenkins traveling with an alleged accomplice, a mystery blond who checks him into the hotel while he stays hidden. was the blond with him in l.a.? did she help in the task of dismembering and disposinging of fiore's body? bombshell tonight.
8:05 pm
911 calls released. we have the audio. and in another stunning development, photos surface of fiore and her ex-husband. just days before the murder. did the murder occur during a jealous rage? fiore's missing black-top mercedes located in a hollywood parking lot. tonight, jenkins' ex-fiance and his family members fire back. how long ago was this body found? >> okay, here's what happened. i manage the sober living in front of building and the third building and the guy that collects the cans said you might
8:06 pm
need to go back in the back. i think i found a body. then he took off. so i'm like, okay. i thought it was a prank. so i came back and there was a big suitcase. the back building is empty, okay? and the -- you guys, the police had been out here a couple of times for people that were evicted or something. i came back here and there's a big suitcase -- i lifted it up and sure enough, it looked like the body of a child in a suitcase back here. >> and it looks like there's a body of a child inside the suitcase? >> it's a body. >> it's for sure a body? >> yeah. i mean, yeah. it's a body. it's a small child folded. it looks like there's dried down or -- you know, i didn't look along. i didn't want to [ bleep ] up whatever was there for you guys. i just called you guys immediately. >> do you know about how -- >> little. the suitcase is like two feet by three feet little. >> two to three foot you're saying?
8:07 pm
>> you know what, small suitcase. i mean -- >> are you saying two to three feet or two to three years. >> let me go back and i'll just -- >> i'm sorry, what? >> let me walk back over there. i'll give you a better estimate. >> i don't want you to go around or touch anything. that's okay. >> i'm just looking over into the dumpster. >> okay. >> don't even touch the dumpster. >> no, no, no. it is a foot and a half deep by 2 1/2 feet by three feet. >> the suitcase? >> yeah. it's like one of those zipped-up roller carry-on type bags with a rigid front on it, like a semirigid front. there's a lot of ants going into it. good evening. i'm nancy grace. thank you for being with us. did the last known person to see little haleigh alive, girlfriend/babysitter misty croslin flunk a polygraph "miserably"? racking up a score of 99%
8:08 pm
disceeceptiv deceptive? not only that, croslin reportedly flunks a voice stress test. this as cops announce it was no stranger that kidnapped little 5-year-old haleigh from her own bed. >> i laid down. it was about -- i'm not positive what time. it was like 3:00. you know, i seen 3:00. 3:00 in the morning. i got up and i got up because i had to use the bathroom but i didn't make it to the bathroom. i seen the kitchen light on. the back door was wide open. i didn't notice about haleigh until i seen the back dooropen. >> the back door has two locks on the door. the second lock that you would have to turn is a tight lock, so it wouldn't be likely that little haleigh would have been
8:09 pm
able to turn the lock and then let herself out the door. >> misty cummings was the last person to see the girl before she disappeared from the florida home in february. she insists she has no idea where haleigh is. but the director of the texas company equisearch says comings failed the polygraph test that she took to try to clear her name. >> do you know where haleigh is now? she answered that, no. it was 95% deception. do you know who took haleigh? she answered no, and it came back 42% deception. >> obviously you're saying that this laceration was caused by the father. it came from a fall from the monkey bars according to this school report. >> straight out to t.j. hart from wskz, joining us from gainsville. this is a major development in the case. the last known person, which is where every investigation
8:10 pm
starts, was misty croslin, the last known person to see the little girl alive. this case has been stymied at a standstill for months, and now we learn she flunked -- not flunked, but flunks with flying colors, a polyograph, t.j. hart. >> indeed she did. the fact, she has to take this polyograph to clear her name. we talked about a message that was issued by the putnam county sheriff's office in a press release on haleigh's sixth bi h birthday that asked the public to come forward with information on misty cummings' whereabouts the night the child disappeared. now it appears that misty had asked to get a polygraph taken care of. tim miller arranged a time and flunked with flying colors. on top of that, still more inconsistencies arose from some of the stories she told them and that's according to the putnam county sheriff's office, who has received copies of this so far. one of them is with that
8:11 pm
timeline once again where she claims she put haleigh down at 8:00 p.m. and herself went to sleep at 10:00, woke up at 3:00 to find haleigh gone. guess what. ronald cummings says that bed was made. didn't appear that anybody had been to bed. it kind of contradicts a few things that have been mentioned earlier in that stream of inconsistent stories. so a lot of things -- >> ronald cummings -- with me, t.j. hart, are you telling me -- let me get this straight. she says she realizes the little girl is gone at 3:00 a.m. the little girl's bed about three feet away from her own, but ronald cummings comes home from the night shift and the bed is made up? >> that is what we are being told are the results of the questioning that took place over that two-day period, nancy.
8:12 pm
it's tearing us apart. i want you to please have a heart. let our little baby go. let her come home to her family.
8:13 pm
special interest groups are trying to block progress on health care reform, derailing the debate with myths and scare tactics. desperately trying to stop you from discovering that reform won't ration care. you and your doctor will always decide the best treatment for you. tell congress not to let myths get in the way of fixing what's broken with health care. learn the facts at healthactionnow.org.
8:14 pm
8:15 pm
my 5-year-old daughter is
8:16 pm
gone. i need somebody to be here now. >> i got up because i had to use the bathroom, but i didn't make it to the bathroom. i seen the kitchen light on and the back door was wide open. >> right beside me on my left is the bed where misty croslin was sleeping, and here on the right we have the bed where little haleigh was sleeping. and you can see it is all but about 3 1/2 feet from each other. and this is right where misty got up and had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. now, where i'm facing right now is the master bathroom. through the living room is the other bathroom in the house. remember, she said that she -- when she got up to go to the bathroom, she saw the kitchen light was on. the kitchen is over this way. that means she would have gotten up and gone out this door and then have noticed. >> do you believe that misty was, indeed, home and she's been telling the truth? >> yeah, i believe she's telling the truth. >> it's my understanding that
8:17 pm
misty did execute the polygraph and was pressured to do so. she was apparently -- i've confirmed this with mr. terry schumaker and it's my understanding from both misty, ronald and rauonald's grandmoth that mr. miller was present and he made a statement that if she did not take the polygraph they were not going to bring the search teams in and search for haleigh. >> we are taking your calls live in a stunning development in the search for little haleigh cummings, missing out of satsuma, florida. we now learn that the last known person to see her alive, the person that allegedly put her to bed around 8:00 p.m. realized she was missing at 3:00 a.m. has flunked a polygraph. she was not forced into this polygraph. she asked for the polygraph. that's our understanding. what about it, to mark, the attorney for tim miller with texas' equusearch.
8:18 pm
what about it, mark? >> no, she -- she made the request. we got contacted by theresa nieves. the family all wanted to know what happened to this child. it was made very clear that we were only there to help out concerning finding this child. she wanted to clear her name, so we started out that way. >> and she flunked up to 99%? >> as i understand it, three of the questions were 95% to 99%. >> a well-respected attorney, joining us out of the orlando area. mark, did she also flunk a voice stress test? >> yeah. after the results came in clear lar n ly not in the direction that she wanted, she wanted to continue clearing her name. so tim went to satsuma, the town where they -- where they're from, and two different tests were administered. one was, in fact, the voice stress analysis.
8:19 pm
and apparently the results and the opinion was -- >> let me guess, she flunked that, too? >> same type of results, according to tim, and the same -- same percentages, basically. and then hypnosis was requested. and attempted and unfortunately, the results were that she was not willing to allow herself to be -- to go under. and if somebody is not willing to do that, then the tests are really of little value. >> so she would not go along with the hypnosis? >> according to tim. >> straight out to mike brooks. explain to me how a polygraph and a stress test -- a voice stress test works. >> a polygraph basically monitors changes in the body. it monitors your vital signs, your blood pressure, your respiration, your -- the sweat. >> sweat. >> exactly. the sweat on your hands. now, i'm not real crazy about voice stress analysis. i think the polygraph is a
8:20 pm
better investigative tool. it's been used for years and years. and apparently, you know, tim miller is saying that the -- you know, the person who gave the test, who administered the polygraph, is a very, very experienced person. so i had -- i've used it many times when i was with the fbi. it's only as good as the person who is administering it, nancy. >> i have great faith in polygraph tests for the most part, if i know what the questions are and who is giving the polygraph. we're taking your calls live. out to susan in maine. hi, susan. >> caller: hi, nancy. god bless you. thank you for being there for all of us. >> thank you. >> caller: i would like to know if a person consistently flunks a polygraph test as this young woman has, why don't the police have the right to arrest her or do they? >> well, there's a little thing called the constitution that gets in the way of that. unleash the lawyers. mickey sherman, criminal defense attorney, author of "how can you defend those people" and richard
8:21 pm
herman, veteran trial lawyer out of the new york jurisdiction. what about it, richard? >> nancy, you know these tests are noted ed admissible. >> wait. before you say that, if both parties consent -- >> yeah. >> -- then it is admissible. so be careful what you say and how you phrase these assertions you're making. >> okay. when you are a rock-star prosecutor in atlanta, if i sent you a polygraph exonerating my client, what would you do with that report, nancy? >> if that's what you sent me, i'd do nothing. but if i arranged the polygraph myself at the georgia bureau of investigations, i might pay it a little more attention. we'll be back with mickey sherman, taking your calls line. the last-known person to see haleigh cummings, satsuma, florida, alive flunks a polygraph. is it finally a break in the case? where is haleigh cummings?
8:22 pm
so? mmmm ok. you were right. these healthy choice fresh mixer thingys, they taste fresh... say it again! what? say it like, "mmmm, these healthy choice fresh mixers taste freshh!!" they taste fresh... wait. what are you doing? got it. you're secretly taping me? you were good too! but you know, it wasn't a secret to us, we knew... yes, but it was a secret to me. of course, otherwise i would be sitting like this and completely block his shot. so that's why i was like... didn't you notice this was weird? no. they taste fresh because you make them fresh. healthy choice fresh mixers. in the soup or pasta aisle. there's no way to hide it. sir, have you been drinking tonight? if you ride drunk, you will get caught... and you will get arrested.
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
she said, is there any way we can do a voice test? i hear they work.
8:25 pm
they contacted a -- a hypnotist that's actually retired from nypd, a detective, and everything was just miserably failed. >> not only does she fail a polygraph miserably is the quote, and that's a good way to put it, she apparently fails a voice stress test as well and refuses to go along with a hypnosis test. i'm talking about misty croslin, the girlfriend/babysitter turned teen bride that put the little girl to bed at 8:00 p.m. while daddy was at the night shift, only to find her meissing at 3:0 a.m. here's what she said on the "today" show. >> why were there inconsistencies? why did you say one thing one time and one thing the other? >> i don't know. >> but you know you did do that?
8:26 pm
>> yeah. >> and you're not sure why? >> no. >> misty, as you sit here, do you believe in your heart that they see you as a suspect? >> no, i don't. >> i don't either. i talked to a detective. his name is john. >> and he said -- >> nope, he doesn't think that she's a suspect. >> that is misty croslin and ronald cummings on the "today" show with nbc. out to the lines. charlene in georgia, hi, charlene. >> caller: hi, nancy. >> what is your question, dear? >> caller: i have -- i've been wondering, the blanket that she supposedly washed in the middle of the night after she put the child to bed, has anybody tested that blanket for blood residue or -- >> excellent question. what about it, natisha lance? >> investigators say that the only hindrance that they have at this point is misty croslin.
8:27 pm
she is the key, and she is holding up the investigation with her inconsistencies time and time again. >> weigh in, mickey sherman. >> the problem is it's not an exact science. i mean, you might as well get a fortune teller as well. why question is why do we know about her flunking? >> mickey sherman, isn't it true that you have submitted some of your clients to polygraph tests? >> absolutely, but i'm not -- >> then why are you saying it's like reading the tarot cards. you've done it yourself. don't be dishonest, sherman. >> i'm not. it provides a road map and gives you an idea. oats through the air. but with the strength of zyrtec ® , the fastest, 24-hour allergy relief, i promise not to wait as long to go for our ride. with zyrtec ® i can love the air ™ .
8:28 pm
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
i'm trying to do everything to find her. you know, i'm answering questions i have to. because i know i didn't do anything to that little girl. i would never hurt her. they love me. i mean, they look at me like their mom, you know. you ask little junior, he'll tell you. they talk a lot about me. i'm so good to them kids. >> i pulled into the yard, the front door was wide open. i asked her what she was doing up. she told me that the back door
8:31 pm
was wide open and haleigh was gone. i turned the house upside down. >> i took a polygraph. >> and you passed it? >> my understanding is that i passed it. >> have you and your girlfriend both taken a polygraph, right? >> yes, i have. passed with flying colors. she has, passed hers. >> and you volunteered to do that, and you've been cooperating with police, right? >> yeah. why not? i don't have anything to hide. i just want my daughter back. anything that's going to help them eliminate more people. that's the best thing. >> well, i got a call from misty. i missed a call and i'd gotten a text. at the third call, i got a third call from her, and i -- at that call, i determined that it must be an emergency. misty was on the phone. she was upset. she mentioned that mr. miller was there and he had taken a polygraph of her. i was shocked. i didn't really know what to say. at that point, she asked mr.
8:32 pm
miller if he would speak to me. he got on the phone. i spoke to a person that i was informed was mr. miller. he read to me verbly the statement that misty had written. i asked him why he was speaking to my client. he basically reiterated there was a waiver of some type and informed me that she failed miserab miserably. >> hello? >> sir, let me talk to your wife. [ inaudible ] can i talk to her? okay. >> how the [ bleep ] can you let my daughter get stole, [ bleep ]? >> great out to bethany marshall, psychoanalyst, author of "deal-breakers," how do you discern her demeanor? misty croslin's demeanor? >> i think she is so arrogant, deceptive and manipulative. and lacks big-picture thinking. she thought she could cheat on
8:33 pm
and ace a polygraph as a scheme to get equisearch in to detract the attention away from her. it's just an elaborate ruse. is she feeling the heat from her husband, from a relative or, more importantly, is she feeling the heat from the police? but it is so arrogant and so cruel to exploit equisearch. that's such a valuable organization, just to distract the attention away from her. it's small-minded, arrogant and mean. >> marc klaas, marc, what do you make of it? >> well, i don't -- i usually agree with bethany, but in this case, i don't. i almost think that equisearch is exploiting the situation. i know what my role is in these kinds of cases when we're called in to search. it's exactly to do that, to get our teams out there, to physically search for the person. but to conduct or own private polygraphs and then go out and spread the word out of -- around
8:34 pm
the world that somebody had failed the polygraph that we had put together for them, i think is -- is the height of irresponsibility. i really don't see how it serves anybody more than tim miller. it certainly doesn't seem to serve the case at all. i'm very concerned about this personally. >> marc, i'm a little more concerned about the fact that she flunked the polygraph and the voice stress test and would not submit to hypnosis. that's a little more disturbing to me than whether tim miller may or may not have overstepped his bounds. he's not a lawyer. he didn't violate any legal code. she asked him to set up a polygraph, and he did it. >> but that's -- but that's according to tim miller. he's the person whose word we have on that. we've all known and we've all said, nancy, from the first time this show -- this story was reported that misty has been deceptive, that her stories don't make sense and that the key to this case lies with her. nothing has changed as far as that goes. >> well, to me our suspicions
8:35 pm
are confirmed if, in fact, she failed a polygraph miserably. let's get a response from miller's attorney. what about it, mark? >> let me straighten him up. tim miller's role with texas equisearch is to find lost and missing people. there was a request for him to come in and do whatever was needed to help find this child. there's not a rule book that says you can only do it one way. if, in fact, she wanted to take a polygraph and she wanted to take these other tests to exonerate herself, she was given an opportunity by a civilian that's out there trying to help people. so for somebody to suggest that he's done something improper is ridiculous. he's out there trying to find children. if he could do it by this means, he did it by this means. but to limit somebody to find a child, that's nonsense, absurd, and inappropriate. >> terry in new jersey. hi, terry. >> caller: hi, nancy.
8:36 pm
>> what is your question, dear? >> caller: i have a comment more or less. didn't the cops figure this out when the child was missing and misty and ronald got married all of a sudden? >> well, here's the deal on that. a lot of people including myself first suspected did they get married so they couldn't testify against each other? but in florida, the husband/wife privilege does not apply in cases where a child victim is the center of the case. so if they got married for that reason, they were wrong. and out to t.j. hart with wskz, are they still together even after she's flunked a poly? is ronald cummings still married and living with her? >> yes. as a matter of fact, they just made a nice little comment to the news just a minute ago stating that both misty made the statement just a moment ago that
8:37 pm
she and her husband will now have nothing more to do with tim miller in -- in this more comie pike on this. they are still together to answer the initial question. >> well, you know, it seems to me -- i'll throw this to the lawyers, mickey sherman, richard herman, if she's going to make a public statement, she should have said something like, well, i didn't flunk that polygraph. instead, she's going on the attack on tim miller. why, mickey sherman? how does that help anything? >> she's underage, and she has a lawyer. it's totally inappropriate to bypass the lawyer because the overriding reasons -- >> i'm not asking you -- miller is under no duty to get the polygraph or not get the polygraph. that's just like asking spb on the street, can you help me set up a polygry? it wasn't his duty to go, oh, no, that's not appropriate. leave miller alone. that's not the problem. am i -- am i the crazy one?
8:38 pm
mike brooks, is everybody ignoring the fact the last person to see her alive has failed a polygraph. and a voice stress test. and would not submit to hypnosis. brooks, throw me a bone. >> nancy, i totally agree with you. >> crazy. >> we just -- they had taken a polygraph earlier from the fbi. we don't know what the results of that is. i don't blame tim miller. if she's asking for his help, he's going to put all his resources and volunteers out there, let's find out whether she's telling the truth or not. that's why he paid for this. >> i'm going to go straight to dr. kerry peterson from lennox hill hospital. dr. peterson, is it possible that her body is there but in such a state it has not been found? i mean, what state would it be in if it had been outside all this time? >> hi, nancy. what's it been, about six months
8:39 pm
now? all that's left will be bone. this really reminds me of the caylee anthony case where -- when so much time elapsed, they only found bone and hair. it's very possible that the body could be missed because all that's left are subtle remnants. >> with me, dr. kerry peterson from lennox hospital in new york. we are taking your calls live. to tonight's case alert. miracle. a little girl snatched walking to school two decades ago, found alive. forced into a gray van in 1991. her step-father just one block away. a 58-year-old bay-area sex offender who was out from behind bars and his wife under arrest. she's set for a reunion with her mother and baby sister she never saw grow up. and the verdict is in. tonight, i-report winner of the number one fan contest,
8:40 pm
california's katherine. she never misses this show, even turned her oldest daughter into one of our biggest fans. not only has kathryn been following the show from the very beginning, but i want to thank her for all of her priors for me and the twins when we were in intensive care following their delivery. i believe god heard your prayers, kathryn. you get that new signed copy of the thriller "eleventh victim." kathryn, thank you, friend. (announcer) time brings new wisdom
8:41 pm
new aches and pains, ...and new questions about which pain reliever is right for your body. tylenol 8 hour works with your body, with one layer that dissolves quickly... ...one layer that lasts all y ...and no layers that irritate your stomach the way that ibuprofen can. it's tough on your body pain. not on your body.
8:42 pm
( music throughout ) hey bets, can i borrow a quarter, sure, still not dry? i'm trng to shrink them. i lost weight and now some clothes are too big. how did you do it? simple stuff. eating right and i switched to whole grain. whole grain... studies show that people who eat more whole grain tend to have a healthier body weight. multigrain cheerios has five whole grains... and 110 calories per lightly sweetened serving. more grains. less you. multigrain cheerios.
8:43 pm
how long ago was this body found? >> okay. here's what happened. i manage the sober living in the front building and the third building and the guy that collects the cans said you might need to go back in the back. i think i found a body. then he took off. so i'm like, okay. i came back and there's a big suitcase. the back building is empty, okay? and the -- you guys, the police had been out here a couple of
8:44 pm
people that were evicted or something. there's a big suitcase partially unzipped. i just lifted it up and it looks like the body of a child in a suitcase back here. >> they did have a previous relationship that included marriage or we haven't been able to confirm that by seeing a marriage certificate. but that was at some time before the marriage and relationship with jenkins, the suspect. they obviously had some kind of an ongoing relationship. we don't know to what extent. we did receive a report that she did pick him up and had visited him at least once since the time he had been released from prison. and we don't have any details as to whether their relationship was being rekindled or if it was simply for old times sake.
8:45 pm
>> these photos that are just emerging, we're showing you photos we've obtained by "inside edition," exclusive photos of jasmine fiore a few days before her brutal murder with her ex-husband. explain, john. >> that's what they're saying. this is a shocker to everyone. this parolee, she picked him up from prison. he apparently -- my understanding is he called his parole agent and came out. maybe he didn't want to be blamed for this after he found out she had been killed. they went out and interviewed him. they determined he's not involved in the murder, but they did arrest him on a parole violation and sent him back to prison. but this is an entirely different person involved with jasmine fiore and may be an ex-husband. >> well, it's my understanding he's an ex-fiance, but there may be more to that story. ellie, what can you tell me? could this explain motive for murder? not that i think it's valid, but if jenkins, her husband, finds
8:46 pm
out she just spent two or three days with her ex, here are the photos to prove it -- >> right. yeah. this guy actually was married to jasmine fiore from about 2004 to about 2005. as he explained, he was in prison. he just got out. apparently around august 11th or 12th. she went and picked him up. they apparently celebrated, spent some time at the beach. they may have spent the night there together. we don't know if ryan jenkins knew about it, but that would explain a lot of things. >> back to what we know about the night or two before she was murdered, wasn't she sending -- going to the restroom at a restaurant or the poker game and sending a lot of text messages on her cell phone and witnesses say jenkins became furious, wanting to know who are you texting, who are you calling? >> exactly. he kept asking her apparently who is that on the phone and she said, oh, it's my mom.
8:47 pm
