Chelsea did not convince me HaLeigh died from an accidental overdose because Haleigh saw an opportunity to invade her father's pill drawer so she helped herself to his Oxycontin pills. It sounds to me like Chelsea is blaming HaLeigh for what happened to her and I am not buying it. To establish credibility for her theory, how does Chelsea know Ron kept a large amount of prescription drugs in his dresser drawer? What evidence does she have to support her theory? Chelsea did not present a logical chain of events in order to create a feasible timeline for her theory during her interview. Chelsea theorized Misty was napping when HaLeigh took these horrible tasting pills that had possibly been there since they moved in; so what prompted HaLeigh to take 1 or 2 of these horrible tasting pills on this particular night when she hadn't touched them before? Would Ron be stupid enough to leave a large quantity of drugs in an area his children had easy access to especially after being busted with illegal drugs on two previous occasions? Chelsea said Misty woke up and HaLeigh was already dead from a drug overdose but for some reason I can’t fathom why HaLeigh would want to take Ron’s pills. Normally if something is out-of-sight, it is out-of-mind. Misty shut her phone off around 9 pm, but according to Chelsea, HaLeigh was already deceased and Ron knew HaLeigh was dead when he called Tommy around 9 or 9:30 to ask him to go help Misty dispose of HaLeigh's body for him. Would Tommy conceal this information from his wife? According to AS, HaLeigh and Junior were eating supper on the porch around 7 pm and Misty said she put HaLeigh to bed at 8 pm. Then Chelsea implied Ron was the man in black who carried out HaLeigh’s body. If we entertain the idea HaLeigh slipped 1 or 2 Oxycontin pills into her mouth, she likely would have fallen asleep. If the dose was strong enough to kill her, HaLeigh would have passed during the night so no one would have realized she was dead until the morning, but this wasn’t the case. Chelsea’s theory is incoherent and it's as unbelievable as Misty's theory that Joe stole HaLeigh because he couldn’t find Ron's machine gun. IMO Chelsea doesn't have a clue what happened and she is making up stories just like Misty is in an attempt to uncover the truth.
Mike Brookes needs a wakeup call: The theory that HaLeigh died of an overdose is not new. It was discussed on Issues on September 25, 2009 and on Nancy Grace, September 23, 2009.
