I think you might be thinking a lot of what I'm thinking...
So why do you think Ron has gone along with Misty's lame story? The only thing I can come up with is this isn't the story Misty told Ron. For example, Misty tells Ron, "Remember when you stole those (guns, drugs, whatever) from Mr. X? They didn't belong to Mr. X, they belonged to Mr. Y and Mr. Z, and Mr. Y and Z showed up here a few hours ago to (beat, kill) you, but you weren't here, so they (beat, raped) me, but Haleigh woke up and came in here, and they (took, killed) her. I begged them not to hurt her, I begged them to (take, kill) me instead, but I couldn't stop them..." That's the general idea. Because Ron did do this, he believes Misty, and even though he's furious at her for Haleigh getting taken on her watch, on the other hand, what was she supposed to do? So they call LE, but if Ron tells LE this, he's going to jail for whatever, so he tells Misty they'll change the story, etc. etc.
Some of this seems plausible to me, some not so much, but this is the best I can come up with so far. It does, at least to me, explain a lot of the whys that have made this case so messed up.
ETA: BBM I wanted to make it as clear as possible I don't believe what is bolded above is what actually happened to Haleigh. The bolded above is one example of what I'm thinking Misty might have told Ron happened, not what really happened. Hope this is clear to everyone.
I understand, you think it was some story that Ron would buy and not kill her for letting someone take Haleigh. I have thought, that Haleigh was acting out that night, and Misty called Ron to tell him to talk to her. Ron being Ron was at work and maybe told her to handle it. So she did, and Haleigh died. She could have told him she OD on drugs at the house, maybe they were Ron's drugs or they drugged the kids to get them to sleep, that he felt it would cause him to lose JR and had to come up with something to cover up the OD. Or she could have told him the story of the Mexican's drug gang, but what ever it was, he felt partly to blame and he didn't want to lose JR. This is as good as a theory as any.
