Oxycontin, because of it sstrange time release design, is an incredibly dangerous drug. It is a concentrated almost overdose amount of painkiller that is designed to slowly release its payload at a manageable rate for an adult. It would not take alot to so depress a child to cause respiratory shutdown over a period of time.
Nancy Grace just said there are parts of the letter that are credible and they are looking into it. She just came back and said this.
OMG... You're right.

OxyContin 60 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg Tablets, or a single dose greater than 40 mg, ARE FOR USE IN OPIOID-TOLERANT PATIENTS ONLY. A single dose greater than 40 mg, or total daily doses greater than 80 mg, may cause fatal respiratory depression when administered to patients who are not tolerant to the respiratory depressant effects of opioids.
OxyContin TABLETS ARE TO BE SWALLOWED WHOLE AND ARE NOT TO BE BROKEN, CHEWED, OR CRUSHED. TAKING BROKEN, CHEWED, OR CRUSHED OxyContin TABLETS LEADS TO RAPID RELEASE AND ABSORPTION OF A POTENTIALLY FATAL DOSE OF OXYCODONE.
I think this is a very plausible theory. They might not have known it was more dangerous if crushed.
Didn't they drain that lake over the weekend? They evidently didn't find her....so maybe that's why they question the credibility?
Nancy is questioning if this story is credible how did all these people keep quiet for so many months, inferring usually a secret can't be kept.
Why would TN stand by Misty? That's very confusing to me.
OMG... You're right.

And with Haleigh already having respiratory issues, it wouldn't take much at all. These stoopid people probably didn't put 2 and 2 together. For a child, it would only take a very small amount. My sister takes it for fybromialgia and she is so doped up while on it, I can hardly understand her.
I think the problem with this case is we're dealing with so many drug dealers, liars, cheats, thieves, that it's hard to find any of the players credible. If in fact Haleigh turns up in a black bag, then I would find it credible.
OTOH, JR said "black" -- which could mean he was trying to say they put Haleigh in a black bag. Things that make me go hmmmmm.....
MOO
Mel
heartbreaking....TN saying Jr drew Haleigh a map to find her way home

The letter was written by "Nay Nay" Prevatt. Somehow she got it to her boyfriend, Donnie, who then gave it to Greg (WBG)'s mother. She sent it to TJ Hart and AH. So...WBG's mom basically is helping to implicate her son since she allowed the letter to become public, imo.Heartbreaking and sweet, bittersweet. This is how children handle/cope with big scary traumatic events. Bless his heart, may he receive some extra comfort and security sprinkled upon his head flowing through the hair openings into his tender young mind from above.
I don't believe this current letter by the so called friend making these claims. Some friend, eh? To keep this quiet this long wowsa. Tommy held out his information too for the same time length minus 2 days. I'm still leaning towards Tommys guilt. I'll be shocked if there's any truth to the letter. I take it the letter was written by Amber? haven't read all the thread.
She pretty much laid it out in not so many words tonight. She has to believe Misty, because that is the only possible story that can possibly lead to Hayleigh being alive and coming home. Her belief of Misty is not in any way shape or form based on any evidence or knowlege. It is based on her deep belief that God would not let something this awful happen to such a young child. If Misty lied Hayleigh is pretty certainly not coming home to them. In oder to preserve her hope she has to believe Misty. It is really and truly heartbreaking.
I think Nancy's question was answered later in the show when it was said they all could be charged with negligent homicide ~ so I can see, if this scenario were true, keeping quiet. Also, it's possible not everybody would know what happened. MOOGood point, panthera. My only guess is that if this truly happened as stated in the letter, those at the party are covering their butts by keeping this secret because of the drug connection. Everyone there is guilty of allowing this to happen to a little child, IMO and they know it.
And, althought it appears these people have kept it quiet for so many months, it's leaking out now.
However, reading between the lines, I'm of the mind that this letter's main focus was for the writer to verify her alibi for the evening in question. "I was at your house that night, remember?"
