I'm not considering myself an expert on this case but I have been following this case since the very first day and have obsessively followed every single blog, post, youtube, every single bit of information available so maybe I'm a sorta, coulda, shoulda type of knowledgeable person on this case.
Ron was witnessed at the plant by security with kids in the car during his shift. OK, don't ask me to show you anything, it's been a long time and maybe even not on this site. I can tell you my theory here. Ron did not have a babysitter that night in question. He and Misty had had a falling out the week before. She was partying with White Boy Greg. Ron was totally pissed and that night he did not have a babysitter. He called dozens of times trying to find her. Called his mother just as much. I as in IMO, after reading, researching and hearing every single bit of information I can, have decided that Ron desperately tried to contact Misty and his mother to go over and babysit the children after he dosed them and locked them into his home. (He repeatedly told Nancy Grace and Law Enforcement that he personally dead bolted the doors before he left for work.) His mother admitted that she tried to contact Misty that night. His mother was within five minutes from the mobile home that night ready with a photo of Haleigh after 911 was called. IMO, his cousin Hope was called in to go over to check on the kids after Misty could not be contacted. IMO, Ron's grandmother and Aunt was called to come over to check on Haleigh after Hope arrive because she had died. Annette Sykes, Ron's grandmother came over with Elisa (a nurse), Hope's mother, and came out with a large laundry basket according to Annette Sykes, Ron's grandmother, who raised him. Later that night Ron contacted Misty's brother by phone and asked him to go over to check on the mobile home.
Ron's mother finally got in touch with Misty to go over and check on kids. Misty went over to the mobile home, she was seen by neighbors on phone and crying early in the morning before the 911 call. Ron's mother and grandmother had come up with a plan for Misty to agree to say that she was the babysitter that night and that someone took Haleigh in return, Ron would marry her.
Misty's brother was contacted IMO to go over and help clean up the house of pot ( grown in Jr.'s room) and that is what he and his brother and Joe cleaned up. Immediately following this event, 100 pot plants were found beside a pond nearby. Misty's brother's van was found to be damaged and dirty. The access to the pond was just a path and would have been very dirty and brush would have definitely damaged the van.
Shorty after Haleigh was missing, Ron threatened Misty's brother by putting a rat in his mailbox. That, IMO was a threat for him to keep his mouth shut.
There is so much more I could share but this is a tad of it.
