Speaking of which...
I wanted to bring this over as it pertains to this very subject:

hit the right blinker! okay?
ron: i got out, i gave her a hug and a kiss
i gave my son a hug and a kiss,

i`ll see y`all when i
get home from work.
ron: my daughter come up missing feb the 10th
feb. the 10th, at about
three 27, 28... i was there for about three minutes turning the house upside down and then told misty, call 911, call 911. call 911.
ron: at 3:26 is when the 911 call was made. so, i must have pulled in at
about 3:23. they also have ummm surveilance videos from the top of the
hill where it goes from two lanes to 4 lanes
they asked me if i was
there what took me so long to get home? i said i stopped at the store
well what store? i told em, well what did you buy? i said, i bought
a pack of basic lights in a box, i bought a pack of newport shorts
in a box, i bought a pack of honey roasted peanuts, i bought a pack of
salted peanuts, and i bought a 30 ounce Budweiser in a bottle.

What I find unsettling about this is Ronald stating that LE asked him what took him so long to get home

. After reading this, it narrows the "from work-to-home" timeline even more according to this account by Ronald himself.
So...
From PDM Bridge LLC, Palatka, FL - Shift ends at 3:00 a.m
To
Kangaroo Express, 1171 U.S. 17, Satsuma, FL = 15.2 mi/about 22 mins
To
202 Green Lane, Satsuma, FL = 2.3 mi about 6 mins
Total Time = 28 Minutes
Ronald would have arrived home at 3:28 a.m.
*This does not provide for any extra time needed for Ronald to walk to his vehicle after punching out at PDM, getting out of the parking lot, considering that other employees were getting out of work also, going into the KE to buy his beer, cigs, and peanuts, and searching around the home for HaLeigh before making the 911 call (rather, having Misty make the 911 call).
THE CALL CAME INTO 911 AT 3:27 A.M
If we allow even an extremely conservative extra 5 minutes for Ronald to walk to his vehicle, get out of the PDM parking lot, go into the KE to purchase beer, cigs, and peanuts, that would put him home at 3:33 a.m. Now, if Ronald actually searched around the home for HaLeigh as he claims, let's say even for 2 minutes, the earliest the 911 call would have been made would have been 3:35 a.m.
Clearly, based on Ronald's account; "at 3:26 is when the 911 call was made, so i must have pulled in at about 3:23." (end quote) There is NO WAY POSSIBLE he got out of work (PDM) at 3:00 a.m. and would have/could have been home by 3:23 a.m. If, as he claims, LE questioned him about why it took so long for him to get home (Re: Dee10's question - why hasn't LE or Shoemaker confirmed hours...seems pretty simple, yet this hasn't been done.), than obviously we (the public) have been seriously misled about what time Ronald Cumming's work shift ended at PDM that late night/early morning of HaLeigh's disappearance. That would also mean that LE has allowed this account (Ron's shift ended at 3 a.m...) to be repeated over and over again by media outlets without making any corrections.
More importantly to me, it means that, while they (LE) haven't had a problem calling Misty out on national television about inconsistancies in her story, they've omitted publicly any mention of Ronald's. And that does not sit well with me. JMHO ~
