Sorry, Maybe its me. I read everyone dicussing point of entry yet there was a door found wide open?! So either it was left unlocked or bumped open or this isnt a stranger abduction, because it was staged. IMO>
I'm thinking ..
Misty is gone or the perp has a key.
Perp comes up on the house in the middle of the night
Gets the brick and props open the screen/storm door
Opens main door and keeps open with clothes on the floor
Turns on the kitchen light < HELLO, right>
Snags Haleigh and high tails it out.
So, why would a perp turn on a kitchen light?
a) no one was home therefore would not notice
b) did not turn on kitchen light (Misty confused)
c) no stranger came into the home and took Haleigh
ummm:waitasec:
Misty has company
Haleigh wakes up to go to bathroom (some truth in what she said initially)
Haleigh sees Misty with company
Misty and company afraid Haleigh will tell her daddy
Accidents happen
Company takes Haleigh away
Everything else concocted or staged
Got to wonder why the story still does not fit even to this day. Bet LE wonders same. JMO
