Ayden, age 4, has cancer; Agent Jason Jolicoeur Fights For His Son

At four, his son, Ayden, is a tough cookie, fighting bad guys like his Dad, FDLE special agent Jason Jolicoeur, a fearless gang buster praised for tackling the violent Crips and Bloods in Flagler County, Florida, and mopping up their mean streets.

Only in Ayden’s case, the bad guy is cancer, a rare and aggressive childhood type called Glioblastoma that made him sick while on family vacation in April. In May, he was diagnosed with the rapidly spreading disease; doctors removed a tumor and urged a pricey treatment called proton therapy and chemo.

“As a Dad, I’ve got to wake up every day and know that beast is in his back,” agent Jolicoeur told First Coast News, a father who watches his son smile every day, then excuses himself to go into the bathroom to “cry my head off.”

Even before she began flunking polygraphs and investigators dubbed her the Putnam County Princes of Prevarication, Misty Croslin was giving herself away with what one top body language expert calls “signals of deception.”

“She was lying” from the start, psychologist and body language guru Lillian Glass tells The Bald Truth, after watching Croslin in news clips for over a year, from distraught babysitter who reported Haleigh Cummings missing, to child bride of Ronald Cummings, to accused drug trafficker facing decades in prison, to witness (or unofficial suspect) in the disappearance of his five year old daughter.

“She constantly repeats herself, and bites her lip after she talks about the case,” Glass tells Bald Truth Special Correspondent Shelley Kreimer, in an exclusive interview about tell-tale body lingo criminals and celebrities often unwittingly broadcast as clues they are lying to your face…like inadvertently tensing the jaw, or straying from typical voice patterns.

I arrived in a sandstorm, and left in a sandstorm, the raging desert winds etching stings and memories of war few can erase–friendship and gratitude I carry with me today on Veterans Day, and every day for the young Marines who looked out for me as an embedded journalist, and each other, rough, tough, ready to fight– and ever polite.

“Sir, could you please bend down so I could shoot out your window?” asked my driver, Cpl. Sanchez, as our 7-ton ammo truck came under fire one night in Nasirya. I scribbled notes, now illegible, as the men let me into their lives, some cut short, to write about their hopes, dreams and missions I’ll be sharing about these and other American heroes from time to time on The Bald Truth.

Not a day goes by I don’t think about the young guns of the 2nd Marines light armored reconn unit (LAR) out of Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, and how we raced across the Iraq border in March, 2003, my only weapons, laptop and cameras. As I salute them today, and all the men and women in uniform, I also wince about how we got off on the wrong foot–my fault–and my first brush with fear.

It was billed as a do-or-die runoff rally for Sen. Saxby Chambliss in a conservative Atlanta suburb, but cheers for GOP rock star Gov. Sarah Palin turned the Gwinnett County civic center into a test of her post-election appeal, as she drew fans from as far away as Alabama and Tennessee, waving –Sarah in 2012” signs alongside, “Read My Lipstick, Vote Sax” placards.

Among an estimated 5,000 people who turned out on a rainy Monday afternoon –Adrienne Royer, a fiesty red-head staking out the front row of the rope line. She won’t be voting for Saxby in Tuesday’s runoff against Democrat Jim Martin, because she’s from Chattanooga. She drove two hours to see Palin.
