8:02 pm
>> everybody here is like famous misty croslin. >> she was gone. >> i come home from work and my daughter was not there. >> how did you lose my [ bleep ] daughter? >> meeting with the investigators has had an effect on her. and right now they are investigating a letter she has sent to a family member telling what she says she knows about that night with haleigh. >> bottom line you don't know where haleigh is? >> bottom line. >> what do they think? i'm going to break? there's nothing to break me on. >> misty holds the key. >> the family member turned it over to investigators. >> i didn't do anything to that little girl. i loved her like she's my own. >> they are trying to see what details in the letter they can confirm, what they can't. >> i cry all the time about haleigh. >> meanwhile, the attorney for croslin's brother, tommy
8:03 pm
croslin, is trying to set up a poly for his client. >> i said i can't help you find nobody. i don't know where she is. >> tommy croslin says he has nothing to do with the disappearance and wants to clear his name. >> told them everything i know. >> talking to her sister-in-law, and she says she's going to say what she knows -- >> it's going to hurt two people. >> that we care about? >> kind of. one, yeah. >> she tells her mother that she's told her attorney that he knows. >> we really would not care who it implicates. >> what is it? she won't say. >> you write her, she'll continue writing you. >> i know. i'm going to write her back. >> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. bombshell tonight. reports from behind bars. misty croslin writes and sends a letter detailing what happened the night little haleigh disappears. >> if we could find haleigh, we'd all -- it would be better for everybody. >> go stand up.
8:04 pm
>> i know, i been -- i sit and wonder every day. >> i just woke up and our back door was wide open and we can't -- >> i just want to go back p. >> the back door open and i go in the room and she's gone. >> i do. every day. >> they're going to know. i've just got to wait until i can -- my lawyer is ready. >> and i just -- it's not bad. there's nothing. >> we learn tommy croslin through his lawyer is trying to set up a polygraph test to clear his name. good i've got nothing to say to them because they're a bunch of damn liars. >> tom qulaz said repeatedly on the tapes i don't know anything. >> she wants to involve them in the situation so that they will corroborate her story. >> i've got to do what i've got to do. >> she's not going to crack. >> did you tell them what you know? >> my lawyer. >> she's protecting herself.
8:05 pm
>> comfortable. >> she'd rather go to jail as a drug dealer than a baby killer. >> i'm not going to be in this jail forever, ma. >> i know, baby. >> they're not going to keep me locked up forever. i'm telling you. >> and tonight out of satsuma, florida breaking news. straight out to investigative journalist art harris. what about it, art? >> nancy, i can tell you that on artharris.com we're reporting exclusively misty croslin has flunked a secret police polygraph she's taken behind bars. police have asked her what happened that night. they have been trying to corroborate what she has written in several letters, one to her sister-in-law chelsea, another to her father, that describes what happened that night. they quizzed her on it under polygraph conditions with a veteran polygraph examiner, and she flunked miserably. those are the words of the examiner. >> art harris, what do you believe after all of your
8:06 pm
undercover work is in the letter? >> well, nancy, i can tell you that chelsea croslin's sister-in-law described to me that misty told her cousin -- a cousin from tennessee and her brother tommy came over that night to steal a gun ronald had been bragging about he had in his closet. they show up, the gun wasn't there. misty said, you know, he must have taken it somewhere else. so tommy said, "i'm out of here." cousin joe got mad and took haleigh. that is the story she's claiming in these letters to family members, nancy. >> okay. art, she's claiming that she was awake and cognizant and knows the cousin took the baby? >> she says -- has said on several occasions in addition to the letter that she remembers waking up and seeing cousin joe with haleigh. now, whether that can be corroborated is a big question. he's not been charged. he says he had nothing to do with it. he's 99 jail like she is and her
8:07 pm
brother tommy. >> to jean casarez, legal correspondent "in session," who's been on the case from the very beginning. weigh their, jane. is this even possible, this new story from misty croslin? >> well, let me weigh in in regard to tommy. tommy's attorney has said that he wants to take a polygraph. so if he was involved in all of that, as she seems to say, but her polygraph doesn't say that's the truth, then i think tommy does need to take a polygraph to see where he stands on that particular issue. >> now, jean, take me back. wasn't it tommy croslin, which is her brother, that says he went to the home that night, the night haleigh goes missing, bangs on the door between 10:00 and 10:30, waits and waits and waits, nobody ever comes to the door? wasn't that him? >> he said it repeatedly. he has said that story repeatedly. now he is voluntarily wanting to
8:08 pm
take a polygraph. he's never taken one before, nance your, that we know of. >> elizabeth, please cue up the video of marlaina schiavo taking us through the home. jean casarez, i'd like to get tommy croslin under polygraph to ask him about that night that he says he went there and bammed and bammed and bammed and beat and beat and beat on the door and she never came to the door, misty croslin, nobody ever came. many people say she wasn't there. i want to go to you, marlaina schiavo. you have been in the home. isn't it true that where she was sleeping, misty croslin was sleeping, there's no way she would have been able to ignore her brother bamming on the front door? >> there's no possible way that could happen because where she was sleeping to -- in relation to the front door was only about ten feet away. so if someone was banging, they would have heard it. but what is really strange about this whole thing with tommy is that when he was arrested and he gave this information to investigators they never issued a polygraph and they never
8:09 pm
cleared the story one way or another with him. so now his attorney says it's time for him to tell the story about what happened that night, nancy. >> we are taking your calls live. out to laurie in michigan. hi, laurie. >> caller: hi, nancy. i just wanted to tell you god bless you for as hard as this is for you, you are bringing such an awareness for all these children. i have a grandson that i have guardianship of. and i believe because of you and the awareness you that brought about these children we were able to get the guardianship. he was traumatized, in a bad situation, and he's happily living with us and undergoing counseling. and it's because of you. i think you saved his life. >> oh, gosh. >> caller: but the question i have for you is can she be hypnotized? and if she can, can that be held up in court? >> first of all, laurie, i don't deserve those kind words. >> caller: you do. >> but thank you. you're the one that's saving your grandchild's life.
8:10 pm
i want to go on that issue of hypnosis. isn't it true, art harris, that misty croslin said at one juncture she would agree to being put under hypnosis but yet either she walked out of the hypnotist or she refused, wouldn't let herself be put under? >> with tim miller of texas equusearch she agreed to be put under and it apparently did not work. >> liz, do you have the video and sound of marlaina taking us through the home? here's the video. tell me what you're seeing, marlaina. >> well, nancy, this is the master bathroom. this is the master bedroom where michtdy was sleeping with little haleigh and when she claims she woke up at 3:00 a.m. and went to the bathroom, which the video is going to the opposite end of the house, or the trailer, to go to the bathroom, notices that the light is on, and this is when the scramble starts to -- you know, where is haleigh?
8:11 pm
she noticed haleigh isn't there. and the question still remains as to why she didn't go to the bathroom that was actually in the bedroom itself. >> so marlaina, how far is her bed, misty croslin's bed, from the front door? >> from the front door it's about ten feet. now, the back door where she said the door was propped open with a cinder block, that was about 16 feet, nancy. >> joining me right now exclusively, a very special guest. james reuter. he is the attorney for tommy croslin. and he says he will schedule an independent polygraph. james werter, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, nancy. good evening. >> mr. werter, tommy croslin insists he came to the home the evening haleigh goes missing. he places himself at the home where the child disappeared. but he says he bammed on the door repeatedly, nobody ever came, and he left. >> reporter: nancy, you have to understand, when that statement was given, he had been arrested for that grand theft charge and
8:12 pm
he was in for a week waiting bond and he was interviewed every day till he finally gave that statement. that's why we want a polygraph to clear the air on the timeline. >> well, don't you think that misty croslin would have told this story before now, that she woke up and saw cousin joe and her brother standing over haleigh? >> i can't really speculate as to anything that misty says. >> you know, people are saying i'm not -- i don't think about haleigh. >> i thought all along that she had something to do with it. >> everybody in this block knows i think about her all the time. >> and now this kind of just proves it. >> i got all my food. oh, my god. >> she was the last one to see our daughter. >> it was like christmas last night.
8:13 pm
8:14 pm
8:15 pm
let me out now. >> when i leave here i'm going to go by lindsey's and get them pictures for you. >> yeah. >> of haleigh and junior. >> yeah. i want one of haleigh and junior and one of ronald. >> all right. i'll get them all to you. >> i mean, i still love him, mama. >> huh? >> i still love him.
8:16 pm
>> i know you do, baby. >> i wish i had powers, man. i would be like, poo poof out this place. >> you can ask everybody in the cell block right now. everybody in this block knows i think about her all the time, that i talk about her all the time. >> in this letter that i'm writing you there's parts in it that's for you and parts of of it that's for dad. >> i cry all the time about haleigh, pray all the time about haleigh. >> yeah-e know. >> so they can all kiss my ass. >> i want to start a letter tonight for you guys. start writing you tonight. going to write timmy. as soon as i get his address. can send him a thing. i'm going to write nanny and you and mom and nanny and timmy. >> i'm not no drug dealer. you know? i'm nothing like that. they can kiss my [ muted ] about that. >> we are taking your calls live. out to andy in arkansas. hi, andy. >> caller: hi, nancy. we love you here in arkansas. >> well, thank you very much.
8:17 pm
and thank you for calling in. what's your question? >> caller: i just wanted to make a quick comment about misty croslin. has anyone ever considered that maybe she's not talking because she herself did something to haleigh? i mean, everybody knows that it's very hard to blend families. and especially with a 17-year-old that's very immature and knows nothing about mothering. and i would bet that little lucy probably has your husband just wrapped around her little finger because that's what daddies do with daughters. and i think that she was so jealous of ronald's relationship with this child and maybe even more so because she had medical problems and needed a lot of attention. so i think that she herself, if she didn't do it, she certainly had somebody to do it for her. and i think her motive was jealousy. >> well, andie in arkansas, that to me is the obvious answer. i agree with you as to why she's not talking. and there's no way she has sat
8:18 pm
behind bars all this time and endured all these police interviews and questioning to cover for cousin joe and her brother tommy. the first thing she did when she got behind bars is rat out tommy croslin on an alleged burglary. so why would she cover for him if she were to wake up in the middle of the night and see him standing over haleigh? i don't see it. but to dr. bethany marshall, psychoanalyst, author of "dealbreakers," what about about andie's question? >> i think she's totally right because when you listen to misty croslin, she doesn't reminisce about haleigh. she doesn't talk about feeding her, cooking for her, pushing her on a swing. she didn't say to her mom, mom, do you remember when she was walking to school or when i read that little book to her? she has no empathy toward and no attachment to this little girl and no memories. it's like someone pressed the erase button. which to me is an indicator of guilt. >> let's unleash the lawyers. joining us tonight out of
8:19 pm
orlando, a specialist in florida law, mark ma j'aime. eleanor odom. renee rockwell, defense attorney atlanta. peter odom, defense attorney atlanta. and i want to go first to mark najaime. weigh in, mark. >> good evening, nancy. when it comes to misty, just really who knows? the relate of it is she hasn't been truthful about anything -- >> wait, wait, wait. mark nejame, you've got a great reputation. you've got to give me more than who knows. and let me remind you that with us tonight is the attorney for tommy croslin, james werter out of jacksonville, and he's willing to put his client strapped up to a poly. so do you really believe, mark nejame, that misty croslin has sat on this story all this time and not told police? >> no. no. i mean, misty's out for misty. misty failed a polygraph in my office. she's apparently failed another
8:20 pm
polygraph. her story's changed like the wind changes. i think that tommy's lawyer's doing the right thing. i think he needs to get a polygraph out there. i think, though, that he needs to go ahead and make sure that the questions are the right questions and not just ones that are created that still leave ambiguity out there. got to be real clear about what they're asking. >> did you read the newspaper today? >> i wish that they would have took me instead of her. >> the people that are involved, that the cops think that's involved is locked up. >> they go out and look for the right person, they would have the answer. >> it's the father of haleigh cummings and the stepmother of -- >> they're trying to get all the answers from me that i don't have.
8:21 pm
8:22 pm
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
they didn't try to question you any more on anything at all? >> no. i ain't got nothing to say to them jokers. let them come over here and talk to me. i'm going to tell them to [ muted ]. leave me alone. i ain't got nothing to say to you lying people. >> yep. >> crooked ass cops. >> yep. yep. it's [ muted ], dude. >> if i knew something you'd know a long time ago.
8:25 pm
leave me alone. talk to my lawyer. >> right. it's always the cops' fault when they catch you on video selling dope. i'm going to go straight back out to our lawyers. but first to art harris, investigative journalist who broke the story just a few moments ago regarding yet another failed polygraph. what are the circumstances surrounding the poly? >> nancy, i can tell you that investigators have been trying to get misty to take a new poly for quite a while. she was too sick one night to take it. but finally, on february 26th, 5:30 p.m., they sent for her from her cell, the st. john's county jail. several investigators. and one of the top polygraph operators in florida, a woman who works part-time for the -- a nearby sheriff's department set up for it, and they sent for her. she left her cell, went to the administration building, and they were very careful to spend at least an hour going over
8:26 pm
questions and what they were going to cover so that they could have control -- you know, control of questions and they knew what they were talking about and it would be a valid polygraph. she then went over this story about misty claiming tommy and cousin joe showed up and joe took the baby. they went over it again and again. investigators -- >> where -- go ahead, art. >> yeah, investigators were waiting in another room. they were so excited, nancy. they thought this might be the turning point. they had a tidbit. they had misty telling these morsels that they wanted to believe. and they were trying to parse them out to see what parts of these stories might be verifiable through the poly. that would allow them to take it to the next step and squeeze somebody else, maybe. suddenly the polygraph operator at 8:30 p.m. goes into the other room, where everyone is waiting, and has to deliver the news. miserably, she flunked. >> that she flunked. when you say miserably, how badly did she flunk? >> every -- every question, i'm told, there was deception.
8:27 pm
and they could not verify anything. and it is so frustrating. these investigators have worked so hard for so long. one has even mused that, he wonders can this be someone who can't pass a polygraph, but could she be telling the truth? >> i have a drug problem. >> the problem is you're not even a drug addict. >> some black guy just jumped in my car and stole my whole purse. >> i am. i smoke marijuana. >> he threw me out the car and he had a gun and said he'd shoot me. >> you got caught up. >> i know i got caught up but i just realized --
8:28 pm
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
i talked to your lawyer today. >> yep. we don't know what they're going to do. and he says that you guys have to stop talking to leonard too. as long as you guys, you know, aw all need to stop talking to him too. >> i know. i'm not calling him no more. i don't want it to hurt you. >> yeah. because everybody y'all talk to
8:31 pm
that's just hurting me. >> yeah. >> no newspapers. don't talk to the newspaper articles. don't talk about anything. nothing to nobody. >> well, today art said misty holds the key. >> i know. it's what it says in this one too. >> just hold your head up high. you ain't got a damn thing to hide. >> exactly. i'm not -- it's hard in here. of course it's hard. but there's nothing i can do. i've just got to live by every day and make the best of it, i guess. i'm dog okay. >> she's like i mean, no, i do not sit there and think, you know, talk about haleigh 24/7, but every night before i go to bed i say my prayers and haleigh's in my prayers every night. you know? >> it is always on my mind 24/7. it's always on my mind. just because i'm not talking about it -- >> yeah. it's always like in the back of your head. but you don't talk about it all the [ muted ] time. >> no, you can't talk about it all the time. it will -- you'll go crazy.
8:32 pm
i talk about her a lot, though. it feels better when i talk about her. and nancy grace can say whatever she wants but we don't care about her. everybody in this jail knows that i talk about haleigh a lot. every article we get in the newspaper i keep it. >> we are taking your calls. live out to charlene, indiana. hi, charlene. >> caller: hi. and it's a pleasure for you to take my question. >> thank you for calling. >> caller: thank you so much for truly, truly being a victims' advocate. >> thank you, charlene. >> caller: misty croslin, she seems to be such a bragrigga treatment and wants people to think she's so tough. i wonder if anybody's questioned the other inmates to find out if she'd confided or bragged about haleigh since she has to keep up this appearance? >> that's a good question, charlene in indiana. before i would go to trial on a major case i would always go to the cell block. sometimes more than one cell block. to find out if the defendant had been speaking. they normally do. jean casarez, what do you know?
8:33 pm
>> well, we know what she has said in her jailhouse tapes. she has said that she talks to everybody about how much she misses haleigh and how much she thinks about haleigh. but you know, i think charlene brings up a great point because in the casey anthony case we just found out through the prosecution's motion that casey had written 258 pages to another inmate, and no one would have believed that. >> to bethany marshall, dr. bethany marshall, psychoanalyst, author of "dealbreakers" joining us tonight out of l.a. dr. bethany, she does go on and on about how everybody knows i talk about haleigh. but i and our staff have combed over hundreds it feels like hours, of hours of her yakking and there's not one time where she says, you know, that night everything was just fine. we went to bed. i did the laundry. that's all i can tell them. or you know, i took haleigh to school that day or, you know, i
8:34 pm
was thinking about last christmas and how happy she was. nothing. we have never once heard a recollection about haleigh. >> you're right. and if we knew nothing about haleigh, we wouldn't know anything from listening to her. there's not one story or one recollection. but what we do know about misty is she is manipulative. that's why she wrote this letter that then they had to give her a poly on to see if the letter was true. so this is yet one more example of her being manipulative, is that she gets on the phone talking to her brother and she starts to say oh, yeah, i talk about haleigh all the time. she simply doesn't. >> unleash the lawyers. mark nejame, florida expert, joining us out of orlando. eleanor odom, renee rockwell, peter odom. and attorney for tommy croslin joining us tonight out of jacksonville, florida, james werter. first to you, eleanor odom, polygraphs, hypnosis, can they come into court? >> it depends. a polygraph can if there's a
8:35 pm
stipulation by both the state and the defense -- >> an agreement. >> an agreement. exactly. and then it could come into evidence. but hypnotists and hypnosis, that has not been allowed in courts as of yet. >> and when she says stipulate, renee rockwell, typically the way it's done is that before you take the polygraph you agree, we're going to do a poly, this is who's going to give it, and you don't know the results when you agree up front. are we going to let it come into court. right? >> that's right. but you don't know the results, nancy. i wouldn't let one of my clients take a polygraph unless i had gotten a polygraph previously by a private polygrapher. and i'll remind you of the case, nancy, you and i had together when you were tracking to crack the red rapist case in atlanta. you remember that. >> very well. >> we had a witness. it was my client. you weren't letting him get on the stand until you polygraphed him. >> that's right. >> because it's an investigative
8:36 pm
tool. the polygraph didn't come in. but you wanted to know if he was telling the truth. but basically, you never see that unless it's agreed to ahead of time. and most lawyers won't do it. most defense attorneys. >> well, of course they won't, renee. because most defense attorneys' clients did it. no offense to you defense attorneys, but come on, that's the deal. look, the police can hardly keep up with all the crime out there. how many thousands of criminals get away every day. so you know, spare me. what about it, peter odom? hypnosis, polygraphs come into evidence. >> nancy, no court voluntarily allows polygraphs in without a stipulation. what that tells you is this. they're scientifically unreliable. however, people's reactions to a polygraph are very important. when tommy croslin says hook me up, i'll take a polygraph, that tells me something about what he has to say. because it shows there's a perception out there that polygraphs are scientifically
8:37 pm
reliable. if someone says want to take that test, that adds a bit of credibility to -- >> it certainly does. and i've got a question for you, peter odom, defense attorney, atlanta. it's a simple yes-no. in your practice as a lawyer in any of the jurisdictions in which you've practiced have you ever directed for anyone to get a polygraph? >> yes. >> okay. so much for you claiming it's not scientific. back to -- >> but not because it was reliable. because it was to satisfy, placate a prosecutor that believed so much in polygraph tests. >> and you went along with it. >> sometimes you've got to do that, nancy. >> now i'm going to try to go back to james werter if peter odom -- is that okay with you? i take it that it is. james werter, attorney for tommy croslin. he's planning to hook tommy croslin up to an independent poly. what about a police poly? >> well, i was looking. it was actually my suggestion.
8:38 pm
and we were looking for a more objective, non-biased person. this is being organized by the private investigator steve brown. and he is an 11-year fbi veteran. i trust him completely. i will be present. and we both sat with tommy, and what we call down here have a come to jesus talk with him, and we expressed that he is not going to beat a polygraph. it is a good investigative tool. but i agree that it is not a precise instrument. >> everyone, as we go to break, we are taking your calls live. with us tonight, not only mark nejame out of florida but james werter, the attorney for tommy croslin. this is misty croslin's brother. she's already ratted him out on a burglary. as we go to break, happy birthday to a florida friend, holly helan mccormick. devoted mother of two. loves spending time with her family and friends. there are her kids, grace and cole. husband robert. what a beautiful family.
8:39 pm
and happy birthday to georgia friend kim. olympic silver medalist 400-meter hurdles. president of body by batton sports performance company. now, that's a resume. happy birthday, kim.
8:40 pm
8:41 pm
8:42 pm
8:43 pm
the food? >> what's with the whining about the food? i had half of a chicken sandwich. eleanor, what did you have? >> i think i didn't have dinner tonight, nancy. >> and the whining and complaining behind bars, it's incessant. let's see. tonight miss croslin is having
8:44 pm
chicken and rice with gravy. sounds good. peas, bread, pudding, and fruit juice. fortified with vitamin c. now, that's better than anybody on this panel got tonight. but yet the whining. the complaining. about the food. her mattress. she's got a private room with two beds in it. both of them are awful. it's like the princess and the pea. she hates what they play on the television. they pipe inovies for them. she hates them too. i want to go out to dr. robert cartwright, an expert in his field, joining us out of atlanta. dr. cartwright, these polygraphs, lie detectors, they're based on a physical reaction. how does it work medically? >> well, certainly, when you have stress, which would indicate perhaps deception, it creates changes in your physical makeup. your heart rate can change, blood pressure can change. your ekg in terms of your heart
8:45 pm
waves can change. so that's really what they're looking for. >> and dr. cartwright, there's no real way that i know of that you can control those involuntary bodily reactions. >> not certainly for an average person, somebody in misty croslin's position, i don't think that would be possible. now, apparently, there are people in, you know, cia, fbi, those types of people, that have been trained to break those. but for routine people, no. >> of course i guess you could dope yourself up on sedatives so you'd be so zonked out you'd just be flat. but i would be afraid i would screw up the answers if i had taken some kind of medication. would that work? >> well, certainly, there is a history of drug use here. so she may be better on drugs. who knows? but it really is an unknown there. >> hey. hey, cartwright. don't give her any ideas. okay? to leonard padilla, bounty hunter, who offered to bond croslin out of jail. joining us out of sacramento via skype. hello, leonard padilla.
8:46 pm
leonard -- >> how are you doing, nancy? >> i'm fine. tommy croslin reportedly looking for somebody to pay for his polygraph. what do you make of his declaring he wants a polygraph as it relates to misty croslin's handwritten letter that he was in the home standing over haleigh the night she disappeared? >> i had several discussions with tommy as well as family members, and i said i'd be willing to help out. but it has to be somebody that i would refer him to. and that would be jack tramarko. i've contacted jack tramarko. jack tramarko contacted his wife and also the investigator on the case. and the other stipulation was that it would be a public polygraph, it would not be a polygraph where the defense attorney administers it and then if he doesn't like the results it doesn't get released. now, that's where i stand with tommy as far as a polygraph. and i believe that tramarko's on board with me as far as doing it. >> yeah, tramarko's got an
8:47 pm
excellent reputation as a polygrapher. i want to go now to bill majesky, former nypd, now with majesky associates, a licensed polygraph examiner. bill, what do you make of all this? >> just to clear up a couple issues here, one, a polygraph, it relies on psychophysiological response. what you do is you're asking the person a question. no surprise questions. all the questions are prepared beforehand. they're gone over beforehand. and the subject is instructed to answer those questions with a simple yes or simple no answer. so now the process su ask the question. that person thinks about the response to that question, then responds to it, and then physiologically reacts and those are then transmitted to a chart and toes charts are read and evaluated. in terms of why they want this person to take a polygraph test, contrary stories. what they're trying to do is get him away from the scene. his initial statements were that he was at the scene when the
