I still feel as Crystal was afraid of Ronald. As a one time wife of a wife beater, I can tell you, just in the 5 total months I was married to this man, I would do whatever it took to stay away from him. Granted, that would mean that I would have my kids with me wherever I went. However if the courts took her kids away and placed them with him, I can see how she would not come see them perhaps as much as she really wanted to. I am not defending her actions, but I can truly understand. Also if she was behind in her child support payments, this would be one more thing that could anger Ronald. If he had threatened to kill Crystal, then WHY would she come around anymore than necessary.
The part that worries me is if that canal that is behind Ronald's house has alligators, and there is no fence up, could Haleigh been placed in there? Or is this even the same house /trailer that the document spoke of? ARE there alligators in that canal behind the house? I know that alligators are all over FL. My husband has an aunt and uncle that own a golf course and country club in FL and there are alligators that come onto the golf course.
