There is a HUGE problem with the babysitter story. Someone made a big mistake in the "cover-up."

She told me, I didnt want to even watch the kids that night because I was too tired from partying that weekend, her sister in law, Lindsay, told me in an exclusive interview Tuesday night that I broke on CNN HLNs Nancy Grace Show.
Then, Misty related, Ronald Cummings mother, offered to pay her. She told me, Teresa (Neves) said, Ill pay you to watch em. But I told her, No, you dont have to pay me, Ill watch em. Remember that weekend, she and Ronald were fighting after she came back, so she told his mother, No, Ill go home and watch em if its okay with Ronald.
(Further down in the story.)
The night Misty at first refused to babysit Haleigh was Sunday night, Feb. 8, about 30 hours before she reported Haleigh missing. That night, sources close to the case tell me she told police she and Ronald stayed up all night fighting, and overslept.
*********************
The way Lindsay repeats the story, Misty was called to babysit the night Haleigh went missing. But the babysitting story contradicts TN's story about Ron/Misty staying up all night talking and working things out than spending all day together on Monday. So then it is said that Misty was called to babysit on Sunday night.
Why would Misty, exhausted from partying, agree to babysit on a night that Ron does not work and is home?
Why the need to put Misty at the MH all day Monday/Monday night?
IMO, the babysitting story seems the most believable. It explains why the need to start the lies the night before, why Misty is not telling, and why Misty was kept so close in those months right after.
I thought the marriage was for Ron to avoid statutory rape charges. Now I think the marriage was to keep Misty close to the Ron, TN and GGma Sykes and away from her family by changing her status from a minor Croslin child to the wife of Ron.
