Just trying to think out of the box. With the backgrounds of them all..and their known activities.. it is highly possible this was drug/ related. I just don't think it is as simple as Misty overdosing her, or Ronald hitting her, ..etc. and then they ALL cover for the perp for 14 months. I think it is bigger/more complicated than that.
And just how DID Ronald get the scrapes on his hands? Did he punch the door for an alibi to explain them away?
Since it was so obvious in the 911 call I think it is very logical that Ron punched the wall as hard as he could. He was beside himself with raw anger that Haleigh was gone imo. He probably wanted to beat the crap out of Misty but took out his rage by hitting a wall or door.
I am not sure what the motive will turnout to be. Personally I don't think it has anything to do with an overdose. No one at this time knows the motive except LE and they arent going to say. Maybe Joe is just as crazy as so many say he is or just plain evil. His eyes remind me of a young Charles Manson.
But as far as Ron I think it only makes commonsense that his alibi was long ago verified by police early on and the 3:00 am time line will be the actual time he got off work. Then next he was seen at a convenience store buying beer, cigs etc. Next he goes home only to find Misty up telling him Haleigh is missing and then 3:26 am the 911 call was placed.
So if he had anything to do with this case then this is what would have to happen in 26 minutes after leaving work. He not only stopped by the store, went home killed Haleigh, transported her body all the way to the boat ramp, taking the rope and blocks with him, disposed of her body in pitch dark and came all the way back to his home all in 26 minutes from when he left work.
If RC's alibi is iron clad, and I certainly believe it has long been checked out and verified... then that's it when it comes to Ron Cummings, imo. No way he could go through all of these steps that would have been necessary to complete this crime in 26 minutes.
Not one thing has ever been said stating LE did not believe his alibi. They always verify the alibis of the closest family members first and then widen out looking for other suspects.
We have GGMS coming over around 7:30 pm and she saw both children, happy and well.
We also have heard that a neighbor saw Haleigh playing in the yard after Ron went to work.
Of course LE has no responsibility to divulge anything to the public at large or advise them that any alibi or the whereabouts of anyone they may have interviewed, has been verified, and this police department will be no different imo.
In the end it will not be Ron's alibi that is called into question but it will be Misty, Joe and Tommy's verified whereabouts that will matter, imo.
IMO
