Welcome to Websleuths, Cookie..no, he doesn't need his 15 minutes of fame, he's been around long enough...JMHO...Hi Levi!
I get what Levi is saying, I too have said RC is not directly, physically involved with HaLeigh's demise. It's his decisions, his choice of a babysitter, his choice to marry her while his child is missing, his being caught dealing drugs, so I also feel, he is responsible but indirectly by placing his children in harms way..I've always said that.
As far as I've read, LE were satisified with RC's being at work. His phone calls, the pings all check out, they corroborate his being at work. What's happened after the fact is why folk are focusing on RC.
I also get his mentality of keeping the enemy close. I do feel they married due to RC believing his in big trouble for bedding down with a 17 year old, leaving his children with this young girl he's only known a few short months, thinking spousal privledge, one can't testify against the other (wrong they can testify against one another), being around a saturated Satsuma of drugs/violence/sex/guns...he would not doubt face some charges of statutory rape/neglect..he's manipulative, he's a bully and a coward. I don't truly like RC much due to his control tactics and I feel how he came to get custody of the children was low down and nasty, again he picks on naive woman that he can control, dominate...my heart went out to Crystal and still does..JMHO
His actions led to HaLeigh's abduction, his decisions went against logic...JMHO
