The former stepmom and babysitter of 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings remains in jail on over a million dollars bond. This hasn’t stopped 18-year-old Misty Croslin in a desperate attempt to get out from behind bars, doing anything she can to get free, including agreeing to speak to bounty hunter Leonard Padilla.

But not so fast, says Croslin’s lawyer Robert Fields. Fields has sent Leonard Padilla a letter instructing him to stay away from Misty Croslin, writing that Croslin does not want his help and does not want Padilla to contact her. This differs greatly from what we see and hear on jail house recordings, where Croslin is seen pleading with her mother to get in touch with Leonard Padilla to get her out of jail, even suggesting she’d be willing to replace Robert Fields as her attorney if it would make the process go faster. Fields later sent a second letter to Padilla stating that conversations with Croslin and her mother talking about bringing in Padilla were before Croslin decided not to work with the California bounty hunter.
