None — The young woman tied to the case of a missing Florida girl seems desperate to get out of jail, and a famous bounty hunter is offering to help.
Misty Croslin-Cummings was the last known person to see six-year-old Haleigh Cummings alive. Misty is locked up at the Saint John's county jail on drug charges and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla may post her bond.
During a jailhouse visit, Misty cried as she talked to her parents.

"I told you to stay away from that stupid s**t, I told you," her father said. "Don't be lying about nothing, ‘cause it's only gonna bury you deeper."
She spoke repeatedly about one thing, getting out.
"Have you heard that my bond was lowered or anything?" she asked her parents.
The California bounty hunter, who made headlines after bonding Casey Anthony out of jail, has offered to do the same thing for Misty.
"Mom, I want out of here, I want out so bad" Misty said, crying. "I'm stuck in this one little cell all the time and they won't let me do anything."
Leonard Padilla has offered to put up $135,000 toward Misty's $1.3 million bond; a bond that was raised after prosecutors filed new drug charges.
Misty, her former husband Ronald Cummings and her brother Tommy were all arrested in January for drug trafficking. Investigators say they sold prescriptions drugs to undercover deputies.
Misty's father blamed it on Ronald and himself.
"You should've never been with Ron in the first place, "Misty's dad said."I just wish I would have been a better dad."
Misty was living with Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, at the time Haleigh disappeared in 2009. But Misty claims she knows nothing about Haleigh's disappearance, something even her father questioned.
"The Haleigh stuff's got to come to an end. Whatever the truth is, it's got to come out," Misty's father said.
However, due to a computer glitch in the jail's recording system, her response to that question was not recorded. What was also not recorded was what she said before her father said this:
"I don't understand why didn't come forward before."
But Misty seems less concerned about Haleigh and more concerned about herself.
"I hope I don't have to be here forever," she said.
There have been dozens of searches, and investigators have followed up on thousands of leads but they say they are no closer to knowing what happened to Haleigh today than they were when she first disappeared last year.
