>> good evening. i'm nancy grace. i want to thank you for being with us. bombshell tonight. at this hour reports a suspect in haleigh's disappearance in custody. something or somebody leads search teams, cadaver dogs, scuba divers, helicopters to comb the st. john's river and a wooded area just two miles south of where haleigh disappears. we have learned in the last few moments a blue ice cooler, a large blue ice cooler has been pulled up in the st. john's river. is there a break in the search for the 5-year-old missing girl haleigh cummings? >> breaking news tonight in the search for 6-year-old haleigh cummings. >> just hate this, man. they're trying to ruin our whole lives. >> area where the authorities are searching is between satsuma and walaca, five miles from the home where haleigh was last seen. >> regardless where the outcome

is, i want to know where haleigh's at. i want to know who did it. >> putnam county sheriff says authorities are acting on a tip. >> misty croslin's grandmother confirms to nance grace that she passed on information to detectives about the possible location of haleigh's body. >> divers and cadaver dogs spent all of today searching the st. john's river, looking for clues. >> we saw probably anywhere like say between 12 to 15 divers. >> if we could find haleigh, it would be better for everybody. >> you've got to stand up, though. >> i know i been -- i sit and wonder every day thinking, just trying to go back. >> the back door open. and i go in the room and she's gone. >> she said at one juncture that she believes up to four people were in the home the night haleigh went missing. >> then chalked it up to a dream-like interlude that she had. >> they're not going to keep me locked up forever. >> croslin taken away from her st. john's county jail cell. >> i don't know where she is.

>> they won't let me do anything. >> a suspect is in custody in the haleigh cummings investigation, according to cnn affiliate wftv sources. >> i don't care who had something to do with it. those are the people who need to be put away. >> we'll continue this investigation until we can bring it to a logical conclusion. >> sources telling us tonight that this has officially, as of today, turned into a homicide investigation. as we go to air, at this moment we are showing you live photos and live video. the st. john's river in a densely wooded area about two miles south of where haleigh disappeared, her home, is now being combed not only by cadaver dogs. there you are seeing the photo of an ice cooler, a blue ice cooler being hauled up out of the st. john's river. being combed by cadaver dogs, scuba divers, helicopters,

search teams. all of this happening in the last couple of hours, in the last 10 to 12 hours. we find out misty croslin rousted out of her private jail cell and grilled again, in fact, taken back to putnam county to be questioned and then taken back to her jail cell. then, suddenly, everyone converges at the st. john's river. straight out to art harris, investigative journalist. art, what do you know? >> nancy, i can tell you that the break in this case, as unlikely as it sounds, came from misty's brother, tommy croslin. and that in an interview that he had with a retired fbi agent, steve brown, supposedly an investigator for his lawyer, brown would not comment, but that he told him that is where they should look and that tommy led detectives in the last couple of days to this spot on the river with steve brown and said that's where they needed to go look, that this is where her body had been dumped.

he suddenly has confirmed, it looks like, the story that misty croslin, his sister, has been telling others in two letters from jail, claiming cousin joe from tennessee came into the trailer that night, tried to steal a gun from her then boyfriend, now husband -- or ex-husband, ronald cummings, couldn't find, it got mad, took haleigh, that tommy left and joe left with haleigh. joe has denied any involvement. he has a lawyer. he's talked to investigators a couple of times. but back to the river bank, it was tommy who flunked a polygraph in the last few days, my sources tell me, a private polygraph, and he decided finally to come clean. i talked to his grandmother in tennessee today, nancy, and she said to me that tommy was on the phone with her and said -- she said he said, "i'm just -- i can't keep this to myself any longer." her name is flora holler. she said to me, "well, i asked him did joe do it? and tommy said yes."

>> so that leads me to my next question, art harris. that says to me that misty croslin was at the home, that cousin joe was at the home, that tommy croslin, they were all there, and nobody stopped the perp from taking the girl. and all this time they've known, nobody called 911, nobody called the father, ronald cummings, nothing if this scenario is true, they should all go down for homicide. >> nancy, the story is that they were in the home and that misty and tommy were both threatened by cousin joe, threatened to kill them, their family, and that for this long they have sat on this story. now, whether true or not, they are now teaming up independently to confirm at least one story that police are following to its conclusion and have high hopes this could at least lead to a break in the case -- >> that is b.s., art harris!

because they could have told police the truth. they could have called 911 when they took -- if this is true. if they took that child, that defenseless 5-year-old little girl with turner's syndrome, if they let somebody take that -- take her from that house and now she is dead, probably molested, in the st. john's river, they all need to go down on the florida death penalty. out to marlaina schiavo, our producer on the story, what more can you tell me, marlaina? >> i can tell you, nancy, that misty was taken from the jail. she was questioned by investigators. they have confirmed this on the record. we know the family gathered today in putnam county and they had private conversations, but we have spoken to the family, and it was a very tearful meeting, nancy. and also, we know that this is the very first time that police have ever sent cadaver dogs since haleigh first went missing on location. so they have a lot of information, a lot of significant information in this case, nancy. >> jean casarez, legal

correspondent in session. jean casarez, if this is true, what it means is misty croslin, who was baby-sitting, let somebody come in that house and stood by, probably high as a kite on dope, and take the girl, the baby girl out of the house. if this scenario is in fact true, jean casarez. >> yes, and let me give you a little legal terminology that you know well. it's called accessory after the fact. i looked up the florida law, nancy. it is a first degree felony punishable by life in the state of florida. if you have information that you know a crime has been committed and you help that individual by not divulging it. >> to regina in wisconsin. hi, regina. >> caller: hi, nancy. i just have a comment. i think if this family's all involved in it they all need to fry for it because that's a beautiful little girl, should not have died. >> she never had a chance, regina.

and if this scenario is true, and that's a big if, but if this scenario is true, she has not come forward with the truth because she was part of it. part and parcel. as we go to air tonight, we are showing you video of an ongoing search of the st. john's river there in florida. scuba divers, helicopters, cadaver dogs, search teams converge on the st. john's in a densely wooded area in the search for the body of 5-year-old haleigh cummings. >> there are detectives walking around the neighborhood, trying to find out any more information that might be available, anything connecting any of the officers to clues about what happened to haleigh.

as soon as they get this

haleigh case wrapped up, they'll let us alone. >> received a tip yesterday -- >> answer any questions i have to. >> that there was possibly some physical evidence in the haleigh cummings investigation. >> i don't know where she is. >> i'm not hiding anything. >> they just need to move on. >> dad, there's nothing. >> we're just following up on that lead to verify it or to, you know -- if it isn't true or if it is -- >> regardless what the outcome is, i want to know where haleigh's at. >> we're out there to rule it in or out. >> well, of course i want to know if she knows anything. >> if i had something to do with it, i knew where she was we wouldn't be sitting here today. >> probably between 12 to 15 divers. >> when did you last see her? >> just like it was about 10:00. she was sleeping. >> there's probably six or eight of them that was actually in the water right in front of the dock just searching in front of the dock area. >> does the door look like it was pride open? >> there was more divers being brought out by boat. >> does it look like you had someone try to enter into your house? >> several canine units walking around. >> going to wrap it up in the next two weeks. >> i hope they do.

>> how old are you? >> just turned 18. >> only one that knows is the people that was there. >> i sit and wonder every day, thinking, just trying to go back and just think if i missed anything. >> i want them to find haleigh too and find who did this to haleigh. i don't care who it is. >> i've been the one, the main focus. >> i'm tired of staying in this one cell, man. it's bull crap. >> we are taking your calls live. but first to ellie jostad, our chief editorial producer. ellie, what more can you tell us about the search that's going down right now as we go to air for haleigh's body? >> well, nancy, it's been in full swing since about 9:15 this morning. residents in the area even saying there were investigators in the area last night poking around, going door to door, asking questions. our affiliates are reporting that they're seeing large lights brought in like the kind you'd see at a ball diamond or a stadium. so it looks like they're planning to search throughout the night for an information or some kind of evidence, possibly even haleigh's remains. >> out to the lines. mary ann in georgia.

hi, mary ann. >> caller: hey, nancy. i so much commend you for your work. listen, i had a question. remember when junior said he saw a dark figure and the couch jumping. could that have been misty's cousin joe raping her that night? >> now, that is a scenario that no one has brought up. i want to go back to art harris, investigative journalist at artharris.com. art, not only did junior, ronald cummings' son junior say that he saw a male dressed in dark clothes there that evening, but then misty croslin in some bizarre, twisted story says she in a dream-like state recalls i think three males, three to four males in the home that night. which means there was somebody else in the home as far as i'm concerned. these two stories two jive with what we are hearing. >> that's right, nancy.

now, i can't speak about that alleged sexual encounter. however, misty has had some questionable encounters with joe in the past, her family members tell me. i can tell you also -- >> that's all coming from her. and she's already -- >> that's right. >> -- flunked four polygraphs. what more do you need? >> of course. the thing is that night in this dream-like state, nancy, she's now accounted for at least two of the males in the home, and that would be allegedly cousin joe and tommy. the interesting thing is why did they wait so long to come forward? what was tommy hiding? what was she hiding? but now -- >> well, obviously, they're part and parcel of it, art. because if it were a simple matter of going "i know who did it, it's cousin joe, that's who you need to be looking at, this is what happened," if if t. were that simple they would have come forward. but obviously, if the scenario is true, art, they didn't want to incriminate themselves. where does crystal sheffield, the bio mom, stand on all this? >> well, the bio mom, i'm told,

came out of the department today, sheriff's department in putnam county distraught, weeping, and told a friend that "joe killed my baby." now, whether that's true or not, that's what she said. >> art, repeat. i couldn't hear you. >> i said that she was told by sheriff's department investigators enough information that she came out of the meeting and called a friend to say "joe killed my baby," from my sources. >> is this going through a missing persons case to a homicide investigation? >> that is a decision that will be made later. >> when haleigh is found, i will be let oust jail because that's the only reason they're keeping me in here. >> if they go out and look for the right person, maybe they would be -- have the answer.

sheriff's office and law enforcement boats just scouring that particular part of the river. >> somebody stole my child out of my bed. >> less than five miles away from the house where little haleigh disappeared.

>> i just woke up and our back door was wide open and we can't find our daughter. >> they feel good about this tip. >> i said i can't help you find her body, i don't know where she is. >> cadaver dogs, dive teams, fishing boats. >> she has been brought back for an interview. >> they say it's not enough, it's not enough. they want more. there is no more. i tell them and tell them and tell them. they just don't listen. >> as we go to air tonight, scuba divers, cadaver dogs, search teams, helicopters now converging on the st. john's river. as you can see, what's going on there in satsuma, florida. also, a densely wooded area being searched right now just two miles south of where haleigh disappeared. cadaver dogs brought in. this has not happened since haleigh first went missing. and with us tonight, tracy sargent from homeland security, canine handlers, and cinco, to explain to us what the cadaver dogs are doing. tracy, welcome. cinco, welcome.

please explain. >> thank you, nancy. we're glad to be here. what the dogs will be working on or detecting is human remains. this being a cold case, it's going to be a dull one for the searchers and for the dogs because the scent itself is going to be very faint. and the dogs are best used for nap they are use ford situations where we can't see the remains or smell the remains ourselves. and in this case, even in water, if they've got a good location, the dogs still can detect that smell. and we're going to give you a demo of that. cinco, here. cinco, hunt. and what the dog is doing, he's searching these different areas, and he's telling us there's nothing here. and then he's going to get to remains, which in this case he's indicating right now, and then he's going to -- what we do, his trained alert. in this case it's a sit. at that point in time we will reward the dog, and then i'm going to hand him off right quick. and what happens is that the dogs will tell us what to do --

or tell us that there's something there. and from that situation the investigators will follow up with additional resources. in this case it will be divers and boats and sonar. >> she is the one that holds the key information to finding out what happened to this beautiful little girl. i mean, who was with her, the last person with her? she was. ♪

we have breaking news in the search for haleigh cummings. >> we do have a search going on at this time. >> the neighborhood is pretty much on lockdown. >> we are conducting a search of the waterway. >> dive teams, police boats working very methodically to try to, you know, discern and find what is at the bottom of the st. john's river. >> we had -- we received a tip yesterday that there was possibly some physical evidence in the haleigh cummings investigation, and we're just following up on that lead. >> they haven't done a search this extensive since she first went missing. >> when i went to sleep, she was there, and then when i woke up she was gone. >> number one, you've got misty

croslin locked up in jail. now, has one of them finally cracked? >> i'm so tired of this, like i'm just so tired of being locked in one cell. i'm just so tired of it, like it drives me crazy. >> i know. >> yeah. but it's going to hurt two people. it's going to hurt two people. >> misty was taken out of the current jail, and she is being interviewed. >> have you found haleigh? >> no, we have not found haleigh. >> i'm going to try to do everything to find her. you know, i'm going to answer any 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. >> repeatedly referring to haleigh as that little girl. we are taking your calls live. you are seeing aerial photos and video of the search going on right now. they are planning to work right into the evening for the body of 5-year-old haleigh cummings

there at the st. john's river. also in densely wood area two miles south of haleigh's home, search teams. somebody or something led them to launch this search. helicopters, scuba divers, cadaver dogs, search teams, all converging on the st. john's river. we are taking your calls live. out to the lawyers. let's unleash them. sue moss, family attorney, child advocate, new york. renowned attorney daniel horowitz joining us out of the san francisco jurisdiction. and tonight out of atlanta defense attorney raymond giudice. weigh in, sue moss. >> conspiracy to commit a crime will get you the same jail time. i wonder if misty is guilty of conspiracy, kidnap conspiracy, helping joe kidnap this little girl. if that kidnap resulted in her murder, then she is equally responsible for the murder via the felony murder rule. they're grilling her now, asking her questions. if they find her guilty of conspiracy, she'll fry.

>> daniel horowitz? >> she's a victim of the same family system that led to this whole debacle. she is pathetic. she did not wake up one day and say i want to see somebody kidnap, kill, and remain silent out of fear. she deserves pity, not this type of attack. >> daniel horowitz -- put horowitz up. if this scenario is true, she stood by, aided and abetted someone taking an innocent 5-year-old girl out of the house in the middle of the night. >> she stood by? >> she didn't call 911. she let the people in. she let them take the little girl -- >> right, nancy, and -- >> if the scenario is true. >> and what was done to her to make her so fearful that she would let somebody she cared about be taken like that? she must have been abused and hurt -- >> high as a kite? >> don't judge her until you know. >> you don't know anything about

whether she's been abused or molested. that is complete b.s. >> you can see it by the way she is. >> you can see it? >> yes. have some compassion for her. >> she is high. she is on drugs. that's what you see. ray giudice, weigh in. >> well, the issue becomes you get to the death penalty or a serious prosecution like, that the state's going to have to show sientor, meaning knowledge she knew the alleged third party in taking the child was going to cause harm to the child. i think that's where the problem's going to be, especially if the third party turns out to be a family member who did not make an overt threat to harm the child. >> ray. >> yes, nancy. >> taking a 5-year-old girl out of the house in the middle of the night. are you -- >> that's irresponsible. >> the fact that you are not crazy. why are you even saying this? >> because you know you can't get the death penalty because you stand by and watch a third party commit homicide toughn't conspired with them. >> no. no. >> i can stand by all day and watch somebody kill somebody and i don't have a legal obligation

to do anything about it. if she didn't conspire and she didn't assist, jean's right, she's got that charge, but not a capital case for death penalty, nancy. you know that. >> sue moss, we've heard them out. >> what? >> i don't know. they both went to reputable law schools. >> i can't believe it. this guy -- >> we both read the law, and there's no sientor -- >> pcut ray's mike. go ahead, sue. >> this guy went to take a gun and then he took the little girl instead. what could he have been taking this girl for other than a nefarious reason? >> if the scenario is true, i wonder, sue moss, if it was a fight over a gun, which ronald cummings denies, or something to do with haleigh as it relates to misty croslin's dope dealing. back to you, art harris. isn't it true that from behind bars this whole crew has been saying that it has to do with the dope dealing? >> that's right, nancy.

in fact, they have been denying they were dealing drugs when you see it in black and white, you see it in living color on the undercover video. so obviously, they have a history of lying. in this case i'm told that misty's story is that cousin joe put a knife to her throat, nancy, and that is why she was so frightened. tommy says that he threatened to shoot him. so if this is true, then that is the fear factor. >> the fear factor. okay. you really think i believe anything these two say? art harris, come on, you're the investigative journalist -- >> nancy, i'm reporting what my sources are telling me. that's all i can do. i'll let you be the judge. >> okay. we're taking your calls. to mary in georgia. hi, mary. >> caller: hi, nancy. >> hi, dear. what's your question? >> caller: you know, in the very beginning, i think it was around the day that misty came home from her three-day binge, she said that she had had company that afternoon, and i thought

she said it was joe and some cousins. >> you know, you're absolutely right, mary in georgia. what about it? to you, jean casarez. >> she's right. mary in georgia's exactly right. and here, nancy, we're seeing a pattern. we're seeing so many people, including junior, saying there were people there that late afternoon and that evening on that day. that's a lot of similarities. >> you know, you're right. and mary in georgia is write. to paul pensown, former sergeant phoenix police, director of provincial programs at childhelp.org. penzone, what do you make of it? >> if this is true it's pronl going to be a free-for-all. him saying he was was afraid, him saying he was directed there's going to be a lot of working parts. i have to say nancy give credit to your show for keeping pressure on this case all this time because it was influential in the breaking point now. >> penzone. penzone. let's just get real for a minute. >> yes, ma'am. >> how many times have at trial -- and i would love to try

co-defendants together. put them all in the same pot in front of a jury and let them stew. they all start doing this. oh, yeah, he held a gun at me. oh, yeah, he put a knife to my throat. they let the girl get taken. the girl is dead. i don't believe one thing they're saying about how they were threatened. they're so threatened. they weren't threatened. >> they were all responsible. if this turns out to be true. and each one of them could have made a difference. regardless of who was responsible to take that baby's life-f that's what happened, each one of them put themselves first and they could have made a difference in this child's life and maybe stopped it from occurring. >> to dr. lillian glass, psychologist, body language expert, and author of "toxic people." dr. glass, you and i have seen it over and over and over. blame somebody else. the blame game. the s.o.d. defense, some other dude did it. that's where this is headed. >> exactly. and you see she had every opportunity to speak up. and you didn't need a lie detector test.

you could see it in her body language. the ums, the silence. you just saw it. she was completely lying. and now she's whining. she's whining away in her prison cell, or her jail cell, i should say, and she wants to talk to the governor because she doesn't like her food and she's not happy that she can't be with other prisoners. this is a horribly spoiled, obnoxious girl, and i doubt there was a fear factor involved. >> well, and another thing. they've been behind bars all this time. they weren't in fear behind bars. >> exactly. >> to tell the truth. >> he leaves with the girls unless they were with him at the time when he left. why didn't he call 911? they weren't afraid anymore. they did nothing to protect the girl. if the scenario is true. to dr. joshua perper, chief medical examiner out of broward county, author of "when to call the doctor." if her body has been in the st. john's all this time, what would you expect to find, dr. perper? >> well, i would expect the body to be skeletonized, basically,

you'll have just bones and very little tissue. however, if the body was found in some kind of box, then there would be much better preservations of the body. >> that's a good point, dr. perper. and in fact, a blue ice chest has just been pulled out of the st. john's river. >> it's still focused, everything's still focused on haleigh. this is what haleigh wanted. she's always talked about it. >> when did you last see her? >> it was about 10:00. she was sleeping. >> do you feel misty is the key to this investigation? >> no, i don't.

breaking news in the case of missing 5-year-old florida girl haleigh cummings. >> a massive search in this neighborhood. >> the search is again focusing on areas near her father's hometown in satsuma. >> off of the boat ramp which is just a quarter of a mile down the road. >> i'm watching you on tv right now. >> what am i doing? >> you're on nancy grace, me and you talking on the phone. >> the putnam county sheriff's office says authorities are acting on a tip but they didn't elaborate it. >> what did they mean our lives are going to be more than hell now than it was for this whole year? >> because they're going to wrap it up in the next few weeks. >> well, i hope they do. >> i want to know who did it. >> haleigh's mother crystal sheffield has been asked to come down to the putnam county sheriff's office in regards to the search. >> i cry all the time about haleigh, pray all the time about

haleigh. >> cadaver dogs, dive teams, fishing boats called in from all across areas of florida to help hopefully find the clues that could lead them to this little girl. >> i know for a fact tommy -- tommy ain't got the heart -- tommy ain't had nothing to do with that [ muted ]. >> let's not talk about that. >> there was so much hope this little girl would be found alive, but the investigation is all focusing on a lake. >> i wish i had powers, man. i would be like poo poof out this place. >> for those of you that are just joining us, as we go to air tonight at this moment, the st. john's river is being combed by cadaver dogs, scuba divers, search teams, helicopters, as well as a densely wooded area about two miles south of where haleigh was last seen alive. her home. we also know that misty croslin, the babysitter turned stepmother, was rousted out of her private jail cell today and questioned, taken to -- back to putnam county, questioned for hourksz and then sent back to

her jail cell. why? we also are hearing reports that the suspect is in custody. we are taking your calls live. to heidi in indiana. hi, heidi. >> caller: hi, nancy. thank you so much for taking my call. and thank you for being the angel that you are. i am a victim of violence, and i really appreciate everything that you do for all of us. >> you know what, heidi? i don't deserve that. but i want to thank you anyway. and thank you for calling in. >> caller: absolutely. >> what is your question, love? >> caller: i am wondering about ronald cummings. has he been informed of all of this that's been going on? and will this make any difference? i know that he's still guilty of drug charges. but is this going to make any difference in the coming days with his trial for drugs? >> out to marlaina schiavo, our producer that's been on the story from the very beginning. marlaina, what do we know about

ronald cummings being informed of what's going on, teresa neves, his mother? what do we know? >> we know that ronald was informed along with his mother and his family today. they took him in handcuffs to inform him of what's going on. and also in terms of that drug question, no, these are completely separate cases. so whatever happens here is not going to affect his drug charges. >> we are taking your calls live. out to alison in florida. hi, alison. >> caller: hi, nancy. thank you for taking my call. i love your show. >> thank you. alison, can you believe this turn of events this long after haleigh goes missing? i mean, we never gave up. we never gave up. but if it's true, it is not of course the outcome that we wanted. >> caller: right. and you never gave up, either. my question is we go boating on the st. john's river all the time. what are the chances of finding her? there are lots of alligators in

that water. >> you know, that's a good point. i want to go back to tracy sargent. and she's got cinco with her. tracy, first of all, show the viewers what the dog alerted on when he alerted earlier. >> yeah. this is a human jawbone. and this is what i wanted to show the viewers, what the dog responded in this case alerted to. as the doctor mentioned, the last phase of decomposition is skeletal remains. and as we've seen video of the search operations down in florida, the investigators are certainly going to be looking for skeletal remains and any suspicious items. and the dogs can help with that. and in this case because they have a really good, accurate area that the dogs can concentrate on, even after this length of time and even underwater, the dogs can alert to human remains scents. >> and how old is that jawbone that cinco hit on? >> this is a jawbone that's been dead for over approximately 40 years. >> if cinco can hit on a

40-year-old jawbone, certainly dogs, cadaver dogs would be able to find a child's remains one year later. and i want to remind you that cadaver dogs are accurate underwater. i want to go back to art harris. art harris, all this business that -- wait a minute. hold on, art. let's take a listen back to what daniel horowitz just said. horowitz and giudice. put them up with art. horowitz. why is it that these are the only people that seem to know where the body allegedly is, and you're saying they had nothing to do with it? >> i'm saying that misty is typically like a battered woman. you know how battered women will be with an abusive husband, the children will be abused, they will remain silent because they're turned off. i'm saying that misty is like that. abused from childhood, she has no feelings. it doesn't mean she's blameless morally. but she needs compassion too. we have to look at the big picture and -- >> you're making my chest hurt.

because, ray giudice, there's no evidence that she is an abused woman. none. >> i agree, but let me also say -- >> she's a jucnkie. >> why she sat on this for a year it doesn't make sense to me. >> because if incriminates her, art harris. >> not on a murder case. >> it incriminates her but also it incriminates her brother. that's who she was trying to protect by saying he left and joe went out by himself. now we know --

tonight, what happens when an adoption goes wrong? a woman in tennessee is about to

find out. jesse james' alleged mistress apologized to sandra bullock. she did it in german. cher and i have something in common, and it's not sailors on battleship, it's her new co-star alan coupling. he'll join me in the studio. that and more in a bit. using underwater sonar devices and high visibility cameras, a team of divers searched the murky st. john river. they say the river bottom shifts and anything down below could be buried three to five feet deep in sediment. a river that may hold the clues to finding this 6-year-old girl. >> as we go to air into the night searchers are combing the st. john river. they have got out spotlights, they've got cadaver dogs, search teams, they had helicopters when

it was still daylight. something or someone has led them to the st. john's river in a densely wooded areas just two miles south of where hayleigh went missing out of her own home. i came to work tonight like ronald cummings did, think about going home from work, all of you working mothers and fathers, and finding your child is gone. that is what happened to ronald cummings. is it coupkulmy naturing tonigh there at the st. john's river? out to the lines. allison in florida. hi, allison. excuse me. elisa, tennessee. hi elise sa. >> caller: how are you? >> i'm good, dear. what's your question. >> caller: my question is could

misty held liable if, in fact, she was so high on pills that she actually didn't remember? >> hold on. elisa, stay with me. i have turned a back flip trying to figure out every scenario under which she didn't know what happened. elisa, here's the bottom line. just this past week she took another polygraph and flunked. so if she were telling truth about i took pills, i passed out, i don't remember, she would not have flunked four polygraphs. she is lying. not only that, a voice stress test and would not allow herself to go under hypnosis. everyone, right now you're seeing a live search that's ongoing for the body of hayleigh

cummings. let's keep her family in our prayers. let's stop and remember marine lance corporal juan gar see schill. from a family of marines, awarded the purple heart, a plaque belt in tae kwon do, loved z hi mexican heritage, the japanese culture and soccer. buried next to his great-grandparents. leaves behind grandparents, two sisters, one brother, grarnd parents rick and beverly, juan garcia schill american hero. thanks to our guests and especially to you for being with us. see you tomorrow night 8:00 sharp eastern and i pray that at that time we have news of little hayleigh. good night, friend.
