We are now learning through Jane Velez-Mitchell's news program 'Issues' that the tipster was Misty and Tommy Croslin's grandmother. The grandmother stated that Joe Overstreet, a Croslin cousin, had been acting very strangely ever since returning from Florida where he had a meeting with investigators late last night. In addition, the woman told a reporter that upon returning to Tennessee, Joe was furious with her and used some choice words to tell her not to contact him anymore.
Misty Croslin reportedly told investigators that the night Haleigh vanished, a crazed Joe came to the trailer and demanded Ron Cumming's gun. Somehow he ended up taking the little girl when he didn't get what he wanted, and held a knife to the throat of Misty. Through HLN program 'Issues' we are learning that Joe allegedly threatened Tommy as well, telling him he would kill his entire family if he said anything. For the first time Tommy and Misty's stories are beginning to merge.
During a short interview clip they showed during Jane Velez, cousin Joe did not seem believable AT ALL. He would not make eye contact and simply said he had nothing to do with it. There was no emotion in his response, and his eyes were creepy looking - very dark. What's more, 'Issues' also mentioned an inside source saying the river being searched is a place where Joe liked to go and throw animals into the water, only to watch them get eaten by alligators. If true, this is a surefire sign that this individual is disturbed, and certainly capable of violent behavior.
