With Tommy Croslin now repeating the family mantra, that a Tennessee cousin killed missing Haleigh Cummings—and “needs to pay” for what he did—The Bald Truth has learned exclusive new details about conflicts that remain between his story, and sister, then babysitter Misty Croslin –and will have to be resolved before a strong case can be made against anyone for the child’s murder.

My sources tell me that an arrest could be made within weeks, with investigators building a circumstantial case based on forensic evidence, time lines, phone records and witnesses.

As for conflicts in his story, Tommy now claims Joe was there not to steal Ronald’s prized assault rifle, but to borrow it to go deer hunting at night, and when it wasn’t there, went wild and killed Haleigh, according to his lawyer, James Werter, who offers more details tonight on the Nancy Grace Show.

He stood with lips pursed late Friday night in a Las Vegas courtroom, just like I remember O.J. Simpson did 13 years ago when I watched a Los Angeles jury acquit him of double murder despite overwhelming DNA evidence tying him to the brutal knifings of his ex wife, Nicole, and waiter Ron Goldman.

Again, I watched as the bailiff read the verdict: guilty on all counts for armed robbery and kidnapping stemming from the heist of memorabilia he claimed collectors had stolen from him and he was simply taking back in a Las Vegas hotel room last year, backed by armed goons.

With so many colorful bail bonding companies in ‘Vegas beckoning The Busted with show biz names like Godfather’s, Goodfellas, Ba-Da-Bing, Jailbreak, Jailbusters, Bad Boys, Almost Free, Already Out, we had to ask, how did O.J. Simpson find one named simply, “Vegas Bail?”

Answer: he didn’t. Vegas found him, with its colorful mantra, “if you’re in jail, we’ll make your bail,” and campy TV commercials spoofing Dog The Bounty Hunter busting everyone from bimbos to Barney, owner Jasen Reasbeck figured Simpson needed a stand-up guy.

“I said, ‘Hey, O.J. lost his bondsman,’ and told my wife, Candace, ‘let’s call his lawyer. He needs some help,’” said Reasbeck in an exclusive interview with The Bald Truth. Vegas Bail had a nice track record popping big time local perps from the pokey, and the lawyer was happy to take his call.Vegas Bail TV Ad

O.J. Simpson traded in his jail jumpsuit for a sports shirt to fly home to Miami on Thursday, a day after an angry Las Vegas judge jacked up bail on armed robbery charges to $250,000, allowing the disgraced footballer to stay out of jail while he awaits trial for the alleged hotel heist that put him behind bars last year.

“I don’t know if it’s just arrogance. I don’t know if it’s ignorance,” frowned Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass. “But you’ve been locked up at the Clark County Detention Center since Friday (Jan. 11) because of arrogance or ignorance — or both.”

Late Wednesday, Simpson, 60, posted his new bond — double what he’d put put up last September–and walked free, again, six days after he was picked up and transferred to Nevada for violating terms of his release. Read the rest of this entry »
