The family tree of both the Griffis and Sheffield clans are entwined in this and many surrounding communities and counties add in friends and associates its a mass of eyes and ears that could be activly involved before and after.
I admit I have taken into account the statements and actions of the Cummings (that includes Misty now) that would lend some credance to Ron being the one that was controlling Crystals involvement in her childrens lives, but, have not heard it put to the extent mentioned above. I do not condone using children against the other parent after divorce or seperation of the childs parents. IT IS WRONG!!!! The children suffer, not the adult parent and it is a continued cycle that is very damaging to all involved. My point is< I do not believe that Ron was just a controlling as*, but, possible a loving and concerned father that was continually being put on the defence against this family , because he got his kids the way he did and had all the control over the situation. I firmly believe that it is a good chance that this is an continuation of this type of conflict between these two and the grandparents. Poor Misty was ment to be the scape goat I am afraid for a crime she did not commit,but, was so conveniantly available and the last person that would of seen HaLeigh. The physical evidence ( that does not contridict Misty's story) revealed to us from the begining points to an inside job (kitchen light on screen door propped and NO FORCED ENTRY). The thing is this crime makes no sence but was obviously planned. It stinks of corruption and "inconsistancies and I am not talking about Misty's.
