The main aim of this paper is to give the crossing number of the join product G* + P-n for the disconnected graph G* of order five consisting of the complete graph K-4 and one isolated vertex, where P-n is the path on n vertices. The proofs are done with the help of a lot of well-known exact values for the crossing numbers of the join products of subgraphs of the graph G* with the paths. Finally, by adding new edges to the graph G*, we are able to obtain the crossing numbers of the join products of two other graphs with the path P-n.
