THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight. Satsuma, Florida, a 5- year-old girl tucked into bed, five hours later, she`s gone. Daddy comes home from the night shift to find not a trace of little Haleigh. Last person to see her alive, new stepmother, 18-year-old Misty Croslin, who takes to the airwaves to claim she`s innocent. But even in that one brief interview can`t keep her story straight, including a 180 on a lie detector she flunked.
Bombshell tonight. After Haleigh`s father, Ronald Cummings, and baby- sitter-turned-stepmother Misty Croslin both handcuffed, arrested, booked, Cummings talks first. Stepmother Misty Croslin does the same. As we go to air, even more jailhouse tapes, video and audio, hours of Croslin yakking away, hours of visits with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, brother, all on video. At this hour, investigators combing the tapes for evidence that may help find Haleigh.
Croslin cracking behind bars, sobbing and desperate to get out of jail yesterday, admitting to repeat drug sales, even ratting out her own brother on a felony. Now claims coming from behind bars her drug deals are to blame for Haleigh`s disappearance. But why? Then she reveals she`s got information. She`ll use it to get out of jail. This as we learn the same bounty hunter who bails out tot mom Casey Anthony now considering the same for Croslin.
Evidence emerging Croslin did not want to be bothered baby-sitting the night Haleigh goes missing. With Haleigh`s father still in isolation, tonight the pressure mounting. Where is 5-year-old Haleigh?

MISTY CROSLIN, HALEIGH`S BABY-SITTER: Hey.
LISA CROSLIN, MOTHER: She said she would. She`s going to send you the money.
MISTY CROSLIN: OK. Mom, I want out of here!
LISA CROSLIN: I know you want out, baby! I know it.
MISTY CROSLIN: I want out so bad!
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: Well, your mother said to tell you that Pop said to tell you that be careful what you say because they got a snitch in there with you.
RONALD CUMMINGS, HALEIGH`S FATHER: Oh, I know.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: And you`re going to -- we`re going to get to come and see you twice a week.
RONALD CUMMINGS: Good. Good.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: But 30 minutes at a time.
RONALD CUMMINGS: That`s OK.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: But you`re only supposed to have one hour every two weeks. But we talked to Jeff Hardy today, and they`re going to let us see you...
RONALD CUMMINGS: OK.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: ... one hour, 30 minutes at a time, twice a week.
RONALD CUMMINGS: OK. Well, let me see. What do I need? What do I need? What do I need? Oh, they said I could have my chains (ph), so if mother got it or if she didn`t...
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: No, you can`t have it, either. They told us you can`t.
RONALD CUMMINGS: Well, the damn guard in here said I can, so...
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: Well...
RONALD CUMMINGS: (EXPLETIVE DELETED) it. I don`t think I washed the damn soap from one of my arms.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: Jeff Hardy said you can`t, so...
RONALD CUMMINGS: OK. Well, that`s fine. Whatever.

Breaking tonight, reports the divorce is off. Tiger Woods leaving sex rehab. This as another alleged mistress goes public with reported text messages from Tiger Woods describing a lifetime together.

GLORIA ALLRED, VICTIMS` RIGHTS ATTORNEY: There`s, like, numerous texts. He had probably approximately 100.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Dating back how far?
ALLRED: Well, long.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: More than a year?
ALLRED: Yes. We have -- the relationship is more than a year. That`s all I`ll say.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Some of this divorce talk that we heard about over the past month or so has been a lot of saber rattling. She talked to a California attorney who has represented high-profile figures in past, but nothing really has come about with any sort of a divorce. I think that`s out of the question right now.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s really smart on sort of Elin`s part that she was so enraged about it...
ALLRED: I represent Veronica Siwik-Daniels, also known as Joslyn James, a former porn star who had a long-term intimate relationship with Tiger Woods.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The addict, so-called addict, first has to take an inventory of all of his sexual behaviors.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know, she takes the phone and she texts Rachel. She sees his number -- she`s listed by name, Rachel Uchitel, in Tiger`s phone -- and says, I miss you, when am I going to see you again?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He has to promise abstinence, that he won`t pleasure himself, have sex with other people because, again, if he...

HANK CROSLIN, MISTY`S FATHER: Oh, I know it`s hard. It`s hard for me to have you both locked up. Now, Misty, don`t -- don`t be -- don`t be lying about nothing because all it`s going to do is bury you deeper.
MISTY CROSLIN: (INAUDIBLE)
HANK CROSLIN: What`d your ma say to you?
MISTY CROSLIN: (INAUDIBLE)
HANK CROSLIN: Somebody suggested they was trying to come up with some money somehow, but Art Harris is just looking for a story. Don`t worry. I mean, if somebody will bond you out, that`s fine. I mean, I`m all for it. But all I know, Misty, is guys need to get to the truth and get (EXPLETIVE DELETED) over with.
MISTY CROSLIN: I want to be strong about this, you know?
TIMMY CROSLIN, BROTHER: I know.
MISTY CROSLIN: I`ll be all right, Bubba. I`ll get out eventually, and I`ll be all right. This is a lesson, you know what I mean?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Yes.
MISTY CROSLIN: I`m learning a lesson. I shouldn`t have done what I did. But it`s not my fault because I shouldn`t be getting charged with all eight of them anyways.
TIMMY CROSLIN: (INAUDIBLE) I mean (INAUDIBLE) did you -- who met this dude?
MISTY CROSLIN: John (INAUDIBLE) called me and asked if I could get it for him, and I sad, Sure, you know? And then me and Ronald started doing it and Tommy did a couple of ones, and then -- yes.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE: Straight out to Art Harris at Artharris.com. You have spent so much time with these people. This girl talks like she`s going to school detention, not like she`s looking at 180 years behind bars.
ART HARRIS, INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST: Nancy, she is treating prison as if it`s the Ritz. She thinks that she should have three meals a day. She says she`s getting two. She complains about being cold. She wants money to be sent to the commissary. This is not a joke, but right now, she thinks and acts like she should be out on the street tomorrow. It`s not going to happen.
GRACE: We are taking your calls live. Out to April in Georgia. Hi, April.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy.
GRACE: What`s your question, dear?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: First I want to say you are my hero, and your family was sent to you from God. You are an absolute angel!
GRACE: Well, I can agree with you about my family being sent to me from heaven because, you know -- and especially at my age. I gave birth at 48 to twins -- happy, healthy. And I got to tell you something. I said it last night, April. When I get off work tonight, the first thing I do is get in that door, Purel my hands, and go straight in to look at the twins. And can you imagine coming home from work and finding that crib empty?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It would be heartbreaking.
GRACE: I don`t even know where I would start. That`s what apparently happened to Ronald Cummings.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Right. And my question is, you know, Ronald supposedly being the good guy that he was -- and you treated him with the utmost respect -- and Misty was supposed to be the, quote, "baby-sitter," and she told that person, I`m not sure who it was, that she didn`t feel like baby-sitting. Why did not that person try to contact Ronald at work or maybe a relative? Because I`ve walked out on my job many a times for my child because I didn`t have a baby-sitter.
GRACE: You know, I want to go out to Marlaina Schiavo. Marlaina, what do we know about that evening? I know that mystery Croslin had come off of a three-day high, just blowing it out with drugs, alcohol, you name it. Three days she was AWOL. Then she washes up and doesn`t feel like baby-sitting. What happened?
MARLAINA SCHIAVO, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well, apparently, she was exhausted and she didn`t feel like doing it. She does it all the time because Ronald`s the one who`s working and she`s not. And she even wanted his mother, Teresa Neves, to baby-sit little Haleigh. But she lost that battle and had to baby-sit Haleigh that night.
GRACE: And what more can you tell me, Art Harris?
HARRIS: ... that she actually was so tired, she told Ron`s mother, I can`t do it. I`ve been partying. And you know, Could you do it? His mother said, I`ll pay you. And then she said, Well, OK, I`ll do it, but only if it`s OK with Ronald because she knew he was furious at her for going AWOL for this revenge (ph) romance, a three-day binge.
GRACE: Art Harris, do you have any idea -- have your sources -- and you`ve certainly worked them -- do you know who she was with those three days? Because to me, that would be key in this case to know who she was with, who had been hanging around her for the three previous days, who might have washed up along with her at Ronald Cummings`s home.
HARRIS: Ronald -- it began, Nancy, on a Wednesday night. Ronald was furious with her, rumors she might be pregnant by somebody else. He kicks her out. She calls a friend, Christina (INAUDIBLE) picks her up in her car and off they go. They stop at the home of a young man who she found attractive, and the three of them went off for a wild weekend. I`ve spoken to them and they chronicled to me a list of drugs and sex and alcohol that was used those three days. She comes home and is -- you know, is not greeted with a warm welcome.

TIMMY CROSLIN: Hello?
MISTY CROSLIN: Hey, Bubba?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Hey, Sis.
MISTY CROSLIN: Bubba, can you please try to get me out?
TIMMY CROSLIN: They`re working on it right now, baby Sis.
MISTY CROSLIN: How? Who`s working on it?
TIMMY CROSLIN: I think your lawyer`s working on getting you out.
MISTY CROSLIN: Do you know how -- how long?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Huh?
MISTY CROSLIN: Do you know how long?
TIMMY CROSLIN: No, Sis, I don`t.
MISTY CROSLIN: You got income tax?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Even with my income tax, Sis, I still couldn`t (INAUDIBLE) You`re at a million-dollar bond. Half that...
MISTY CROSLIN: Ten percent would be $9,500.
TIMMY CROSLIN: Yes.

RONALD CUMMINGS: Anyway -- (EXPLETIVE DELETED) What was I going to say? I`m doing fine. And I get to shower every night, from what I understand. I don`t know. I showered this morning and tonight, so I`m feeling great. But don`t get me wrong, I had to put the same dirty drawers and shorts back on. But I mean, I only had them on since this morning, so at 9:00 o`clock or -- let me see. My band says at 8:17 is when I got out of the shower and they put the band on me. So anyways, I`ve been in, what -- 12 hours I`ve been in these boxers. But the laundry man only comes on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I can -- I have to wear these until Monday or until -- yes, until Monday night, and then put the clean ones on and then throw the dirty ones down to him. And then I can wear them -- I can wear the -- anyways, you know what I mean.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: Yes.
RONALD CUMMINGS: I got two pairs of boxers, so -- but right now, they ain`t really dirty so I just went ahead and put them back on instead of putting my clean ones on and then having two dirty pair.
RONALD`s GRANDMOTHER: Yes.
LISA CROSLIN: I wish you would have just listened to your dad.
MISTY CROSLIN: I know. I wish I would have, too. You don`t even know. I think about that all the time. But you know what? Got to learn from my own mistake.
LISA CROSLIN: Yes, that`s right. And you know better than to do it again?
MISTY CROSLIN: I will never -- when I get out of here, I will not do anything. I`m not smoking cigarettes. I`m not smoking weed. I`m not doing nothing anymore. I`m going to be good. I`m going to -- if I go to prison, I`m going to get my GED. I`m going to do what I have to do. And when I get out, I`m going to do the right thing. I`m going to stay with my mom and my dad and not leave them ever again!
LISA CROSLIN: I love you.
MISTY CROSLIN: I love you, too. You`re not hanging up until 15 minutes is over!
LISA CROSLIN: I`m not, baby. I promise.

GRACE: We are taking your calls live. Out to Wendy in Oklahoma. Hi, Wendy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. How are you?
GRACE: I`m good, dear. What`s your question?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have a couple of questions. One, it was stated that Ronald Cummings was in solitary confinement. I wanted to know why. Two, is -- could he be in there because of trying to work with the police to find Haleigh, to crack this case with her? And also, something that`s just really amazing, why do these people think they have all kinds of freedom in prison? They`re in prison! They`re not out in the world doing what they can -- you know, in civilization.
GRACE: Wendy, their behavior, particularly Misty Croslin`s, behind bars is extremely unusual. It`s like she`s living in a parallel universe. She talks about learning a lesson, like she`s got to go to detention after school. I don`t think she really gets she`s behind bars. But your question is, is she behind -- is Ronald Cummings behind bars to try to get information? Was that what you`re trying to say?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, the solitary confinement, why is he in solitary confinement? And could he be in solitary confinement trying to help the police crack this case?
GRACE: OK. Good question. What about it? Out to you, Jean Casarez, what do we know? What possible plan could there be for him to get information if he`s in solitary confinement? But is this whole incarceration part of a ruse? I don`t think so.
JEAN CASAREZ, IN SESSION: Right. Wendy`s right, in Oklahoma, that he is in solitary confinement, as is Misty. They`re at different jails in different counties. It`s because it`s a high-profile case. That is why that they are in solitary confinement at this point.
But you know, Nancy, I`ve listened to hour after hour after hour of these tapes. Never once did Misty or Ronald or a mother or a father, none of them have ever mentioned the word Haleigh, although it`s the 100-pound gorilla in every conversation.
GRACE: You know, let`s unleash the lawyers. Joining us tonight, Terry Shoemaker, attorney for Ronald Cummings, Renee Rockwell, defense attorney Atlanta, Eleanor Odom, felony prosecutor out of Atlanta. And also with us, Mickey Sherman, high-profile defense attorney out of New York, author of "How Can You Defend Those People?"
I want to go to you, Terry Shoemaker, attorney for Ronald Cummings.
TERRY SHOEMAKER, ATTORNEY FOR RONALD CUMMINGS (via telephone): Yes?
GRACE: If he believes -- Ronald Cummings, your client -- that Misty Croslin may have information about his daughter`s disappearance, why is he fraternizing with her and selling dope with her?
SHOEMAKER: That`s a good question, Nancy. And I`ve spoken with him about that, and he really didn`t have any answers to why he started hanging out with Misty again. He said that she called him and they started talking, and you know, one thing led to another and now he`s in jail. But he didn`t give any specific reasons as to why they were together.
GRACE: To Art Harris. Weigh in, Art.
HARRIS: Nancy, I can tell you that Ronald`s cell is not totally solitary. He`s playing cards with a guy next door. But I can also tell you he is not undercover, according to my sources. He is in trouble.
GRACE: And we heard on one of these phone calls and/or visits to Ronald Cummings behind bars, one of his relatives telling him, They`ve got a snitch in there with you. Back to the lawyers. To you, Eleanor Odom. The value of a snitch, what about it?
ELEANOR ODOM, PROSECUTOR: Well, it`s sort of a double-edged sword, Nancy, because a snitch is somebody who`s in jail and charged with a crime, themselves. So sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil to get information to help in a case.
GRACE: What about it, Renee?
RENEE ROCKWELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Absolutely. And you have to warn your clients not to talk about their case because the guy next door will absolutely go to court and testify against you.
GRACE: And I believe the saying, Eleanor, is sometimes you`ve got to go to hell to get the witness to put the devil in jail.
ODOM: Exactly. And that`s what you tell a jury, so they`ll understand why you had to use that snitch.

TIMMY CROSLIN: Misty, where was you when they got you?
MISTY CROSLIN: At Spinners.
TIMMY CROSLIN: At Spinners? By yourself?
MISTY CROSLIN: No, Ronald. It was me and Ronald. I got eight counts, Timmy. I got eight of them. How come I`m (INAUDIBLE) being charged with all eight?
TIMMY CROSLIN: You guys were just taking -- just taking the guy to get him some pills, right?
MISTY CROSLIN: Yes. It wasn`t like weed (ph), you know what I mean?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Whatever, man. They`re (EXPLETIVE DELETED) stupid. They just wanted to get you, and then you (EXPLETIVE DELETED) and they got you.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE: We are taking your calls live. To Wendy in Oklahoma. Hi, Wendy. Oh, I`m sorry. Kathy in California. Hi, Kathy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, hi, Nancy. Thanks for taking my call. I have a comment and a theory.
GRACE: OK.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My comment, first of all, is I actually think Misty is just this young girl with a weak mind who`s never had to think ever in her whole life. And now when all this is on her, she doesn`t know really how to even think. And that`s -- you know that expression of, like -- she has no idea what she`s thinking about? Anyway, so I don`t think she really knows what happened to Haleigh.
But this is my theory. Her brother -- has anyone really investigated the brother? I know he came to the house. I think he got in. I think he was messed up, she was passed out, he was stumbling around the house, there`s Haleigh. Who knows what he did with her. All of the sudden, her pink shirt is -- that was on her is now there by the door. Maybe she put up a fight. He had to, you know, stumble over to the other door, prop it open with a cement block and take her out. I mean, do we really know that he never got in her house? Do they really know that? That`s sort of my theory, that he got in, messed up himself.
GRACE: What about it, Art Harris?
HARRIS: Nancy, I can tell you that`s an excellent question. Don`t think he`s been ruled out. I know that -- I talked to the sheriff this week and he said it`s important not to have tunnel vision about just Misty. Wouldn`t mention any names, but a lot of people are being looked at. Ronald called Tommy that day, that night from his work house, said he had not been able to get in touch with Misty. So he knew that there might be an opportunity there. And Tommy is a thief. No evidence he took anything that night, though. But it`s a very, very good question.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHELSEA CROSLIN, MISTY`S SISTER: But you`re a first-time offender and you can prove that you wouldn`t have been doing that if you weren`t just trying to help out a friend. You weren`t trafficking, you were helping a friend get pills he said he needed. So whatever, simple, OK?
MISTY CROSLIN: But that was -- that was an FBI, that wasn`t a cop.
CHELSEA CROSLIN: I know. I know, Misty. But it`s OK. Just focus on yourself, keep going to church, doing what you`re doing. Your lawyer`s working on it.

And my question is, you know, Ronald supposedly being the good guy that he was -- and you treated him with the utmost respect -- and Misty was supposed to be the, quote, "baby-sitter," and she told that person, I`m not sure who it was, that she didn`t feel like baby-sitting. Why did not that person try to contact Ronald at work or maybe a relative? Because I`ve walked out on my job many a times for my child because I didn`t have a baby-sitter.
GRACE: You know, I want to go out to Marlaina Schiavo. Marlaina, what do we know about that evening? I know that mystery Croslin had come off of a three-day high, just blowing it out with drugs, alcohol, you name it. Three days she was AWOL. Then she washes up and doesn`t feel like baby-sitting. What happened?
MARLAINA SCHIAVO, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well, apparently, she was exhausted and she didn`t feel like doing it. She does it all the time because Ronald`s the one who`s working and she`s not. And she even wanted his mother, Teresa Neves, to baby-sit little Haleigh. But she lost that battle and had to baby-sit Haleigh that night.
GRACE: And what more can you tell me, Art Harris?
HARRIS: ... that she actually was so tired, she told Ron`s mother, I can`t do it. I`ve been partying. And you know, Could you do it? His mother said, I`ll pay you. And then she said, Well, OK, I`ll do it, but only if it`s OK with Ronald because she knew he was furious at her for going AWOL for this revenge (ph) romance, a three-day binge.
GRACE: Art Harris, do you have any idea -- have your sources -- and you`ve certainly worked them -- do you know who she was with those three days? Because to me, that would be key in this case to know who she was with, who had been hanging around her for the three previous days, who might have washed up along with her at Ronald Cummings`s home.
HARRIS: Ronald -- it began, Nancy, on a Wednesday night. Ronald was furious with her, rumors she might be pregnant by somebody else. He kicks her out. She calls a friend, Christina (INAUDIBLE) picks her up in her car and off they go. They stop at the home of a young man who she found attractive, and the three of them went off for a wild weekend. I`ve spoken to them and they chronicled to me a list of drugs and sex and alcohol that was used those three days. She comes home and is -- you know, is not greeted with a warm welcome.

RONALD CUMMINGS: Anyway -- (EXPLETIVE DELETED) What was I going to say? I`m doing fine. And I get to shower every night, from what I understand. I don`t know. I showered this morning and tonight, so I`m feeling great. But don`t get me wrong, I had to put the same dirty drawers and shorts back on. But I mean, I only had them on since this morning, so at 9:00 o`clock or -- let me see. My band says at 8:17 is when I got out of the shower and they put the band on me. So anyways, I`ve been in, what -- 12 hours I`ve been in these boxers. But the laundry man only comes on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I can -- I have to wear these until Monday or until -- yes, until Monday night, and then put the clean ones on and then throw the dirty ones down to him. And then I can wear them -- I can wear the -- anyways, you know what I mean.
RONALD`S GRANDMOTHER: Yes.
RONALD CUMMINGS: I got two pairs of boxers, so -- but right now, they ain`t really dirty so I just went ahead and put them back on instead of putting my clean ones on and then having two dirty pair.
RONALD`s GRANDMOTHER: Yes.
LISA CROSLIN: I wish you would have just listened to your dad.
MISTY CROSLIN: I know. I wish I would have, too. You don`t even know. I think about that all the time. But you know what? Got to learn from my own mistake.
LISA CROSLIN: Yes, that`s right. And you know better than to do it again?
MISTY CROSLIN: I will never -- when I get out of here, I will not do anything. I`m not smoking cigarettes. I`m not smoking weed. I`m not doing nothing anymore. I`m going to be good. I`m going to -- if I go to prison, I`m going to get my GED. I`m going to do what I have to do. And when I get out, I`m going to do the right thing. I`m going to stay with my mom and my dad and not leave them ever again!
LISA CROSLIN: I love you.
MISTY CROSLIN: I love you, too. You`re not hanging up until 15 minutes is over!
LISA CROSLIN: I`m not, baby. I promise.

GRACE: We are taking your calls live. Out to Wendy in Oklahoma. Hi, Wendy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi, Nancy. How are you?
GRACE: I`m good, dear. What`s your question?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I have a couple of questions. One, it was stated that Ronald Cummings was in solitary confinement. I wanted to know why. Two, is -- could he be in there because of trying to work with the police to find Haleigh, to crack this case with her? And also, something that`s just really amazing, why do these people think they have all kinds of freedom in prison? They`re in prison! They`re not out in the world doing what they can -- you know, in civilization.
GRACE: Wendy, their behavior, particularly Misty Croslin`s, behind bars is extremely unusual. It`s like she`s living in a parallel universe. She talks about learning a lesson, like she`s got to go to detention after school. I don`t think she really gets she`s behind bars. But your question is, is she behind -- is Ronald Cummings behind bars to try to get information? Was that what you`re trying to say?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, the solitary confinement, why is he in solitary confinement? And could he be in solitary confinement trying to help the police crack this case?
GRACE: OK. Good question. What about it? Out to you, Jean Casarez, what do we know? What possible plan could there be for him to get information if he`s in solitary confinement? But is this whole incarceration part of a ruse? I don`t think so.
JEAN CASAREZ, IN SESSION: Right. Wendy`s right, in Oklahoma, that he is in solitary confinement, as is Misty. They`re at different jails in different counties. It`s because it`s a high-profile case. That is why that they are in solitary confinement at this point.
But you know, Nancy, I`ve listened to hour after hour after hour of these tapes. Never once did Misty or Ronald or a mother or a father, none of them have ever mentioned the word Haleigh, although it`s the 100-pound gorilla in every conversation.
GRACE: You know, let`s unleash the lawyers. Joining us tonight, Terry Shoemaker, attorney for Ronald Cummings, Renee Rockwell, defense attorney Atlanta, Eleanor Odom, felony prosecutor out of Atlanta. And also with us, Mickey Sherman, high-profile defense attorney out of New York, author of "How Can You Defend Those People?"
I want to go to you, Terry Shoemaker, attorney for Ronald Cummings.
TERRY SHOEMAKER, ATTORNEY FOR RONALD CUMMINGS (via telephone): Yes?
GRACE: If he believes -- Ronald Cummings, your client -- that Misty Croslin may have information about his daughter`s disappearance, why is he fraternizing with her and selling dope with her?
SHOEMAKER: That`s a good question, Nancy. And I`ve spoken with him about that, and he really didn`t have any answers to why he started hanging out with Misty again. He said that she called him and they started talking, and you know, one thing led to another and now he`s in jail. But he didn`t give any specific reasons as to why they were together.
GRACE: To Art Harris. Weigh in, Art.
HARRIS: Nancy, I can tell you that Ronald`s cell is not totally solitary. He`s playing cards with a guy next door. But I can also tell you he is not undercover, according to my sources. He is in trouble.
GRACE: And we heard on one of these phone calls and/or visits to Ronald Cummings behind bars, one of his relatives telling him, They`ve got a snitch in there with you. Back to the lawyers. To you, Eleanor Odom. The value of a snitch, what about it?
ELEANOR ODOM, PROSECUTOR: Well, it`s sort of a double-edged sword, Nancy, because a snitch is somebody who`s in jail and charged with a crime, themselves. So sometimes you have to make a deal with the devil to get information to help in a case.
GRACE: What about it, Renee?
RENEE ROCKWELL, DEFENSE ATTORNEY: Absolutely. And you have to warn your clients not to talk about their case because the guy next door will absolutely go to court and testify against you.
GRACE: And I believe the saying, Eleanor, is sometimes you`ve got to go to hell to get the witness to put the devil in jail.
ODOM: Exactly. And that`s what you tell a jury, so they`ll understand why you had to use that snitch.

TIMMY CROSLIN: You guys were just taking -- just taking the guy to get him some pills, right?
MISTY CROSLIN: Yes. It wasn`t like weed (ph), you know what I mean?
TIMMY CROSLIN: Whatever, man. They`re (EXPLETIVE DELETED) stupid. They just wanted to get you, and then you (EXPLETIVE DELETED) and they got you.

GRACE: We are taking your calls live. To Wendy in Oklahoma. Hi, Wendy. Oh, I`m sorry. Kathy in California. Hi, Kathy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, hi, Nancy. Thanks for taking my call. I have a comment and a theory.
GRACE: OK.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My comment, first of all, is I actually think Misty is just this young girl with a weak mind who`s never had to think ever in her whole life. And now when all this is on her, she doesn`t know really how to even think. And that`s -- you know that expression of, like -- she has no idea what she`s thinking about? Anyway, so I don`t think she really knows what happened to Haleigh.
But this is my theory. Her brother -- has anyone really investigated the brother? I know he came to the house. I think he got in. I think he was messed up, she was passed out, he was stumbling around the house, there`s Haleigh. Who knows what he did with her. All of the sudden, her pink shirt is -- that was on her is now there by the door. Maybe she put up a fight. He had to, you know, stumble over to the other door, prop it open with a cement block and take her out. I mean, do we really know that he never got in her house? Do they really know that? That`s sort of my theory, that he got in, messed up himself.
GRACE: What about it, Art Harris?
HARRIS: Nancy, I can tell you that`s an excellent question. Don`t think he`s been ruled out. I know that -- I talked to the sheriff this week and he said it`s important not to have tunnel vision about just Misty. Wouldn`t mention any names, but a lot of people are being looked at. Ronald called Tommy that day, that night from his work house, said he had not been able to get in touch with Misty. So he knew that there might be an opportunity there. And Tommy is a thief. No evidence he took anything that night, though. But it`s a very, very good question.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CHELSEA CROSLIN, MISTY`S SISTER: But you`re a first-time offender and you can prove that you wouldn`t have been doing that if you weren`t just trying to help out a friend. You weren`t trafficking, you were helping a friend get pills he said he needed. So whatever, simple, OK?
MISTY CROSLIN: But that was -- that was an FBI, that wasn`t a cop.
CHELSEA CROSLIN: I know. I know, Misty. But it`s OK. Just focus on yourself, keep going to church, doing what you`re doing. Your lawyer`s working on it.

MISTY CROSLIN: Dude, you guys have to send me some money. I`m so hungry.
CHELSEA CROSLIN: OK, I promise, as soon as we have enough. Hopefully we`ll get our taxes on our card tomorrow and we`ll send you at least $100.
M. CROSLIN: I`m so hungry, they don`t feel you anything, I`m just so hungry.
C. CROSLIN: God, she`s (BLEEP) hungry. They`re starving her. Hold on, here`s Tim.
TIM CROSLIN: Hello.
M. CROSLIN: Hey bubba.
T. CROSLIN: Hey sis, how you doin?
M. CROSLIN: I`m hungry. We get to eat at four in the morning. We get to eat at 11:30 and then we eat at 4 again in the afternoon and that`s all we get to eat.
T. CROSLIN: I know, (BLEEP) food, huh?
M. CROSLIN: Yeah, I be eatin` it because I be hungry.
T. CROSLIN: Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.
M. CROSLIN: I just want some good (BLEEP) food.
M. CROSLIN: Call Cobra. Cobra said he`d bail me out.
T. CROSLIN: I know. Cobra`s trying to do it and your lawyer`s trying to do it right now.
M. CROSLIN: So how long? When is Cobra gonna come get me out?
T. CROSLIN: I don`t know. I don`t know. I`m just hearing this from (BLEEP) your lawyer and who told you about Cobra?
M. CROSLIN: My lawyer said that he said that TJ um thing TJ Hart`s thing. Robert says he has five thousand so far?
T. CROSLIN: Chelsea said that`s he said he`s five thousand short from getting you out.
M. CROSLIN: So we need. Come on now, I know you guys guy family, Chelsea`s got family, please look.
T. CROSLIN: Huh?
M. CROSLIN: I know Chelsea`s got family. You guys all got -- please get me out of here.
T. CROSLIN: Missy, I`m trying honey, I mean I hate seeing you in there, but there`s no one that`s going to give us (BLEEP) thousand dollars like that.
M. CROSLIN: I`ll pay it back.
T. CROSLIN: I know, don`t worry. You gotta keep your head up, Misty. You gotta stay strong, sis. They ain`t gonna get you with nothing. You ain`t gonna be in there forever. I mean, there`s a possible that you could end up doing a couple of years, though.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
GRACE: Out to Art Harris. Art, what`s his business about Cobra getting her out and then she goes on to say she`s got information that she may give to Cobra? Information about the only thing it could be is about Haleigh`s disappearance.
HARRIS: That`s the $64,000 question, Nancy. I know that her lawyer warned her against these quote, opportunists who are coming out of the woodwork to claim they want to bail her out. And he is afraid that they will take her out, get some publicity and then slap her back in jail. No indication she has anything of value and could just be dangling something. Why don`t you make a deal with the police? Anyway, the lawyer is taking charge of this and people have to go through him.
GRACE: To Jean Casarez, legal correspondent "In Session." Have you noticed how she constructs her sentence?
CASAREZ: That`s right. In that particular sentence right there, she says if he gets me out I`ve got information I`ll give me. So in other words, give me my freedom, then I`ll talk. So it`s trickery in a sense.
Another thing, the way she words something, Nancy, she says, look, I`m going to prison, Donna`s going to prison, Ronald`s going to prison. We`re all going to prison unless I come out and tell them something, not unless Ronald tells them something or Donna tells them something, but unless I.
And one more thing, Nancy, there is audio and video we have not heard yet. And that is of the undercover operation. It has not been released. But in these recordings, she`s very concerned about something that Ronald said to her during the audio and video taping of the investigation. She thinks it`s the reason there are two more counts. But she`s very concerned about that. And that`s going to be the evidence, that operation, for prosecutors.
GRACE: And to you, Marlaina Schiavo, our producer on the story, her - - if you look all the way down all of her statements, if you read them and compare them, they`re full of contradictions.
SCHIAVO: They are, Nancy. I mean first she`s telling her brother, "I don`t know nothing," quote. And then she goes on to say, get Cobra, I got information for him if he can get me out of there. And then she`s crying on the phone, crying on the phone saying, I want to get out of here. I want to get out of here. Then later in a conversation with her mother she says I`m fine, don`t worry, I`m fine. She says it again to her brother, really, I`m fine.
And the another time she says once I get out of here, I`m going to stop weed, I`m not going to smoke cigarettes. I`m not doing any drugs, nothing. And then she tells her mother she goes to the mental health unit to get herself some drugs.
GRACE: I`m just wondering what effect those drugs are going to have on her memory of the night Haleigh goes missing. To Dr. Evelyn Minaya, women`s health expert joining us out of New York. Dr. Minaya, thank you, again, for being with us.
No problem, Nancy.
GRACE: Doctor, she keeps saying I`m hungry, I`m hungry, I`m hungry. And then she says we eat breakfast, we eat lunch, we eat dinner. Did you hear what she had for dinner last night?
MINAYA: She had more of a dinner than I did.
GRACE: She had chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy. She had vegetables, cornbread, some kind of vitamin "C" drink. I mean, that was dinner and lunch was much the same. Is the hunger, extreme hunger, the munchies, is that a symptom of coming off dope?
MINAYA: Absolutely. It`s the classic withdrawal. Like I said, the anxiety and the fixation she has about how many meals she has, what she is eating. Also the hunger, the hunger, the hunger. Everybody has experienced those munchies, I guess, people that do all that stuff. I`m certainly not one of them, thank god.
But nevertheless it`s very, very typical for her and that`s why usually an anti-anxiolytic, such as Zoloft, which not only is an antidepressant but it also believe it or not holds some qualities of anti- anxiety, it`s to make her calm. So hopefully she can give information and maybe recollect her memories.
GRACE: We are taking your calls live. To Kathy in California. Hi, Kathy. Oh, lost Kathy. Connie in Indiana. Hi, Connie.
CALLER: Hi, Nancy.
GRACE: How are you, dear? What`s your question.
CALLER: I have a comment first.
GRACE: OK.
CALLER: I want to thank you for being mentally strong enough to keep us updated on this.
GRACE: I got to tell you something, you know, I get on the phone or sit in the office of my executive producer Dane or Liz, who you hear me talking to every night, and we all have children. And thinking about coming home and John David or Lucy not being in that crib, what would I do?
I would just envision running through the house trying to find them, calling 911 and I hear Ronald Cummings on that tape crying about his daughter. It`s very difficult, but I just keep thinking that there may be a way to help find that girl.
CALLER: If I was Misty, I don`t believe I`d go around him. Because when he finds out what she did, he will probably go to prison for life because he probably will kill her.
GRACE: So what`s your question, dear?
CALLER: I would like to know who`s got Junior all this time?
GRACE: Oh, I can tell you that right now. The mother got custody back, Crystal Sheffield. Remember she lost it originally but she has the baby, Ronald Cummings Jr., as we go to air tonight.
Everybody, as we go to break, I`m wearing red tonight to support the American Heart Association`s Go Red for Women`s National Wear Red Day. Heart disease, the number one cause of death for women.

VERONIC SIWIK-DANIELS, PORN STAR: I was in love with Tiger and because of what he said to me and the length of time that we spent together and how long we were together, I believe that he loved me, too.
JAIMEE GRUBBS, ALLEGED MISTRESS: I did put a lot of, you know, emotions into this, and I did care very much for him and when we were together, I mean, he did make me feel like I was the only girl.
TIGER WOODS, VOICE RECORDING: Hey, it`s Tiger. I need you to do me a huge favor.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The investigation has determined that Mr. Woods is at fault in the crash.

WOODS: My wife went through my phone and may be calling you.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Elin had found Tiger`s phone and on it she had seen text messages.
WOODS: So if you can, please take your name off that.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It wasn`t one woman, it wasn`t two. We think the number has been up to 13.
WOODS: Just have it as a number on the voicemail, just have it as your telephone number.

GRACE: Straight out to Alexis Tereszcuk, radaronline.com. Alexis, thank you for being with us. Alexis, now we hear that the whole rehab thing is finishing. That that was awfully quick. And we also learn the divorce is off and we also learn that Tiger Woods is headed back to the golf course, that the plan is to do one tournament before the Masters to kind of ease back into it.
It`s like all of this was just a blip on the screen. What happened to, an indefinite leave from the game of golf? I`m quoting his statement, "so he can learn to be a better husband, father, and person?" What happened?
ALEXIS TERESZCUK, RADAR ONLINE: Well, it seems like these just about six weeks in this rehab center in Mississippi have, perhaps, worked for his marriage. Elin was very adamant she wanted him to change and so he`s gone to the sex rehab. She has been down there to visit him. She spent five days down there. He spent six solid weeks in intense therapy.
GRACE: Has it been six weeks? Wow, time flies when you`re in sex addiction rehab. So what about him going back to the golf course?
TERESZCUK: He is going to play again, what we`re hearing. There`s a tournament before the Masters in Arizona. And it`s actually a tournament sponsored by Accenture, which as you know is one of the first sponsors of Tiger`s to drop him. So it`s a tournament that he`s planning on playing in right now.
GRACE: To Paul Penzone, director of prevention programs, childhelp.org, former sergeant, Phoenix PD. Paul, it`s great to have you with us. Paul, we`re hearing more allegations now, this as he`s walking out of sex rehab, the divorce is off, back on the course as if nothing ever happened. Another woman with text messages allegedly stating, hey, isn`t this great and the good part is we`ve got a whole lifetime of the same. How does that play into an investigation? Is there any way to verify the text?
PAUL PENZONE, CHILDHELP.ORG: Well, I think at this point it`s -- what does it add to it? We have so much now and it`s really behind. It`s really going forward. What do you do to prove that? You can say the texts came from her phone. But whether she sent them or not is really irrelevant. So I think that`s what`s happening is anybody who wasn`t in the game early is irrelevant now. It`s what he does going forward.
GRACE: Joining me right now, Gloria Allred. She is the attorney for Veronica Siwik-Daniels, also known as Joslyn James. She also represents Rachel Uchitel, alleged mistress number one. Gloria, thank you for being with us. Gloria, the text messages allegedly between your second, I believe, client and Tiger Woods, what`s it about? What`s the content?
GLORIA ALLRED, LAWYER (on phone): Well, the two that we released yesterday are to show that their relationship was one from October 1st, 2009, Nancy, where Mr. Woods wrote, "Baby I`m not going anywhere or doing anything, you please me like no other has or ever will. I am not losing that."
That`s one quote. Another quote in a text on September 8th, 2009, he wrote to her, "Great thing is we have a lifetime of this."
And I might add, I don`t think that these texts or these women are irrelevant. I think they`re important and she is a human being. Even though she`s a former porn star, she is a human being. She fell in love with Tiger Woods and she had reason to believe that he was in love with her as well.
GRACE: Well Gloria, why is she coming out now? It`s kind of the caboose on the end of the train.
ALLRED: You know, you might think that but the thing is when the scandal broke she went into hiding. She didn`t speak to the press. She didn`t give interviews. She`s been hiding ever since until this issue came up this week on Tuesday, the tale of the Tiger, the mistress collection golf balls came out with her face as one of the alleged mistresses. She never authorized that. She would never have agreed to that. She is a victim of violence herself and she`s very upset that her face is on a product.
GRACE: OK wait a minute, Gloria, Gloria, I got to call you on this. I mean, she is a porn star and she`s embarrassed her face is in the public? That`s not all that`s been out there in the public, Gloria. That`s kind of a day late and a dollar short.
ALLRED: No, actually, by the way, she`s a former porn star.
GRACE: I don`t think her anatomy has changed. I think once you`ve seen it you`ve seen it.
ALLRED: But all I can say is she decided to break her silence because she wanted to address the issue of violence against women.
GRACE: I get it.
ALLRED: Because images like this are on that ball. And also we`re concerned putting a woman`s face on a golf ball which a golfer may swing at with full force may increase the risk of harm to women. And playing around in golf with these balls can leave marks resembling bruises on the face of the ball. And that made jokes about hitting women.
GRACE: Gloria, I accept that. I think that that is well put, actually. Mickey Sherman, weigh in. Do you think that this is legitimate? Or is it another person looking for a payday?
MICKEY SHERMAN, CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY: "B." This is the star of "Big Breasted Nurses," which I thought was a terrific film, by the way, of all three times I have watched it. I wanted to make sure of my research here. But you know, let`s review. What are we mad about? Tiger Woods had a bunch of mistresses. His wife apparently is forgiving him. He`s went to rehab for six weeks. He`s going back to the golf course, going back to work. Where`s the bad stuff here?
GRACE: Ellie Jostad, what more can you tell me?
ELLIE JOSTAD, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Well Nancy, everybody is wondering if Tiger Woods really is going to go back and play golf. He`s got a tournament coming up, that one in Arizona in only two weeks. I`m skeptical that he could be ready to play by then.
GRACE: Everyone, as we go to break, thoughts and prayers with the family of Miriam Carmical, losing her battle to lung cancer, Hampton, Georgia. Member of Crossroads Baptist, the rock of her family. She lit up a room, known for her famous parties. Married 62 years. Her true love, her family. Leaves behind grieving husband, Everett, three children, six grandchildren, one great-great. Miriam Carmical, good night, friend.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR(voice-over): More than two weeks after the earthquake, Boby Duval is overwhelmed. The soccer fields he built for kids is now a home for hundreds.
BOBY DUVAL, CNN HERO: It`s really something. We were already in the hole and now we are deep, we are in a much deeper hole.
COOPER: Duval was a CNN hero in 2007. He founded a soccer training center called Athletics of Haiti, giving kids from some of the poorest neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince an opportunity to get off the streets, play a sport, and get a meal.
DUVAL: The kids never missed practice and they were disciplined enough to keep focused on something positive.
COOOPER: That program is now a lifesaver. Many families of the children who played soccer for Boby have moved on to the field, nowhere else to go.
DUVAL: What we`re trying to do is just keep it clean, give them a little bit of, you know, set up some bathrooms, set up some water and give them care. That`s all. Understanding. So they are safe here.
COOPER: Safe and sheltered. Duval provided what tents he had. Those without them have gotten more creative. Are these goal posts too?
DUVAL: Goal posts, yes.
COOPER: Someone has made a little home out of goal posts.
DUVAL: Right.
COOPER: (voice-over): Some kids still play soccer to pass the time. Families are making due the best they can.
DUVAL: Save and serve.
COOPER: That`s what is essential right now, save as many as you can.
DUVAL: Save as many as you can and serve as much as you can. That`s - - that`s it.
