Not for one damned minute.
I'm speaking of Misty Croslin, the girlfriend in the Florida abduction case of Haleigh Cummings. I don't buy her story for one single second. Every fiber of my being tells me that this bitch is lyin' outta her butt about the whole thing, and her recent attempt to throw suspicion off of her by throwing her cousin in Tennessee under the bus is a pathetic attempt at best, one which absolutely will prove to be fruitless.
So why don't I believe her? Here's why.
I've been interviewing suspects since 1975, and more recently I completed the Wicklander-Zulawski course on Interview and Interrogations, and in my humble opinion Misty Croslin is a walking, talking, living, breathing example of just about every 'dishonesty indicator' there is. First, there's the fact that on every spot I've seen her on, her face is all screwed up in supposed remorse, her voice is cracking and all that crap, but there's always one thing missing: tears. She has yet to shed a single visible tear, and unless somebody changed things while I was asleep, when you cry, you shed tears. But not Misty. Not in this case.
If I had a nickle for every theft suspect I've interviewed who tried the "fake crying" routine on me in order to garner sympathy, I'd be rich and retired.
Then there's the attempt to throw suspicion off of her by naming her cousin in Tennessee, even stating on the "Today" show yesterday that she "wasn't sure" if he was capable of doing this or not. Nice try, Misty, but just like your missing tears, it ain't workin'.
On top of all that, there are the physical indicators, the things she's unaware that she's doing. Things like not looking directly at people when talking to them, giving short, terse answers which evade the question, the way she holds her body, things like that. And anybody who's ever raised a child through the teenage years will automatically and unmistakably recognize the defiant, "screw you!" tilt of the head and pursing of the lips she showed on the "Today" show yesterday.
And on top of all that, there's one simple thing missing from her circus act that is always - ALWAYS - present when an innocent person is accused of a crime. When an innocent person is accused of a crime, their denials get louder and more angry as the accusations continue. It starts out with a simple, "I didn't do it," and eventually ends up with a fist-pounding, shouting, red-in-the-face, now-I'm-pissed "I DIDN'T DO IT!!!"
Haven't seen that from Misty, have we?
Oh, and let's not forget the fact that she's been given a polygraph test TWICE, and that the police will not discuss either one.
Wonder why she was given the test TWICE? I'll bet I know.
When all is said and done, when the body of this poor child has finally been found within two miles of her house (an educated guess on my part), the person going to jail for this heinous crime is going to be Misty Croslin.
And I hope she rots in Hell.

My Letter to the President
I said I'd publish it when I wrote it, so here it is. It just went out in today's mail.
President Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500
February 16, 2009
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing this letter to express my frustration and utter outrage at the provisions in your stimulus package and the manner in which you allowed it to be rammed through Congress under the guise of "bipartisanship."
My frustration stems from the fact that as a result of your stimulus package, I will receive a whopping $32.00 extra each month in my paycheck. That, Mr. President, is barely enough to put sufficient gas in my car to keep me moving for a month. And if you allow the price of gas to continue to rise for no apparent reason other than allowing the oil companies to get rich off of the American public, it soon won't be enough to even do that.
Explain to me, please, how such a paltry sum of an extra $32.00 a month is supposed to "stimulate" me and the rest of the American people? Just how in the world is this supposed to help the economy?
My outrage comes from your total disregard of, lack of respect for, and outright dismissal of the sacrifices made by our men and women of the Armed Forces, both past and present. It is because of the sacrifices made by these men and women that you live in a country where you can even be nominated, much less elected, yet you allow your stimulus package to be so drastically cut as to nearly eliminate all funding for the Veteran's Administration. On top of that, you have allowed funding for the regular Armed Forces to be so drastically cut as to make even the most rudimentary of improvements to operations next to impossible.
Just how do you expect our nation to remain free if you treat the protectors of our nation in such a shoddy, disrespectful manner? The next time you, your wife, and your children are sitting around the dinner table in your nice, warm, comfortable and government-provided quarters, think about the men in uniform in Iraq who are sitting in a Hummer eating an MRE, or who are sitting in a foxhole doing the same thing. THEN you tell me that what you did with your stimulus package was right.
My outrage is also fueled by your administration's misuse and twisting of the term "bipartisan" when describing the manner in which your bill was completed. In case you missed it, with the exception of only three - THREE - Republicans, the vote for your bill was exactly along party lines. This is NOT "bipartisanship" in any manner.
The Democratic party - YOUR party - did the exact same thing the Republican party did when your predecessor was in office, and it's just as wrong now as it was then. You ran on a campaign of "change we can believe in;" is THIS your idea of "change?" Doing the exact same thing your predecessors did and running the government in the exact same way? It certainly isn't mine.
Personally, from what I've seen so far, I don't think we can "HOPE" for much of a "CHANGE" at all.

I'm sure I'll get a reply; it'll be one of those "thank you for writing the President" form letters signed by some faceless, unknown aide, and it's highly unlikely that Obama will ever see my actual letter or the reply. But I wrote it and voiced my opinions, and that's what counts.
I strongly encourage any of you dear readers who are as disappointed at this BS as I am to do the same thing.
Today.
NOW.
I'll post the reply when it comes.
