I'm sure it must have come from the prison? Or else Grandma Flo is yanking our chains. Prison letters have prison stamps on them so people know they are getting a letter from a prisoner.
IMO, Hope was behind those letters.
The detail about Haleigh's clothing sounds like someone who knew her. The person describes Haleigh's clothing including Haleigh's cute little hat. I have never heard mention of Haleigh and hats.
Hope is also a person whose life changed that night. Hope, who idolizes her cousin Ron, who thought she was going to get a slap on the hand, who can relate to Misty's personal experiences in a way that some may think Misty was writing the letters. Hope is the perfect person to "pretend" to be Misty. Pretend to be Misty to protect Ronald by destroying Misty's credibilty BEFORE she goes to court.
The one thing that made me think it was Hope was the part that said:
"Everyone sees me smiling when my heart is filled with tears."
The only ones who smiled in court were the Cummings. Misty, Tommy and Donna NEVER smiled in court. They were not defiant. They were scared. But Ronald and Hope always treated court like a joke. Well, Hope did UNTIL she was sentenced. Then the smile disappeard and the tears came.
IMO, that is where she messed up. Hope would have no idea that unlike her, Misty never smiled in court. Hope thought Misty would feel like she did. However, Hope forgot that the Croslins' experiences in Court were different than the Cummins. The Croslins would never smile in court because they never got off. The Cummings smile in Court because until this time, they always got off.
Art Harris claims Misty is saying that Haleigh is alive. He really has provided some doozies in this case. I think he likes face time on NG and that's that. I really am tired of all the propaganda in this case. IMO the letters are not written by Misty and with some good investigative journalism that would have been clear...
gypsy, I agree. When it comes to Art Harris I always believe he has a personal motive when it comes to the Haleigh case. There hasn't been much action in this case for a few months. He needs to attract readers to his blog. Throw out Misty's name and something new about her comments and he's such to attract readership. jmo
There is a video Marie released to the public she took of Haleigh and Jr. Christmas 2008 where Haleigh is wearing a purple hat she gave her.
That could be the hat that is referred to in the letter.
#1: If we refer to a forum that is not an allowed link on WS, that is still not allowed and you can get a Time Out for it. This is starting to be an issue in here and it needs to end now.
#2: AH reads here. He's been very complimentary to Tricia about our members and it would be nice if we were to give him the same respect. He's a reporter. That's what he does. If someone contacts him with information, he's going to report it. At least he's not paying for those letters which is more than we can say for the National Enquirer or something. I for one am interested in what Misty is writing and want to see the letters. I'm angry at her for not taking responsibility for her actions and leading us to Haleigh, but that's not AH's fault.
If you don't agree with something AH reports, then that's fine. But let's stay on topic about what has been reported please.
IMO, those letters were just a ploy to get money. Her commensary must be getting low. There are inmates all over the US, serial killers included, with high profile cases, that will sell off memorabilia (art work, letters, autographs, etc...) to get money.
There is always the possibility that she honestly believes the reason she was sentenced to 25 years, was because of the 398th story she told about Haleigh being dumped in the river, and people believing that she had something to do with her murder. It somewhat baffles me that she seemingly forgets that trafficking drugs is a CRIME. She is in prison for trafficking drugs and will get additional time for the other charges stemming from......trafficking drugs.
HEY CRIMINAL...you're going to be in prison for a long time no matter what. The least you can do is stop dangling Haleighs life/memory for your own personal agendas. Tell the truth or sit in your cell and Shut the blankety blank up
The handwriting is too neat in the first four links of the letters, and then the last cover letter seems to be more of Misty's handwriting.
I don't know for sure, but I would bet that Art paid somebody for the letters, and the right to put them on his blog.
Disgusting.... !
But, I would agree that this might be just part of the campaign to promote the belief that Haleigh is alive so somebody won't be charged with her death.
Good luck with that!
