GRACE: Where is 5-year-old Haleigh? Straight out to Marie Griffis, maternal grandmother of Haleigh. Everyone, we are taking your calls live. Crystal Sheffield, Haleigh`s biological mother, announcing she has willingly taken a polygraph and was told that she passed.
To Marie Griffis, the grandmother -- Ms. Griffis, thank you for being with us. To your understanding, has the little boy told other people about the description of the kidnapper?
MARIE GRIFFIS, MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER: Not that I know of. Just Connie and Crystal.
GRACE: And was his story consistent?
GRIFFIS: Yes. From what Connie told me, he talked about a man dressed in black, and then Crystal said the same thing.

I'm finding it hard to believe that investigators would repeat or remark on the interview of a 3 (almost 4 yr old). I did see one article that reported that this is what Jr. said to investigators but I'd like to know from whom they got that information.
On a personal note: I've never had a child interviewed by LE. Especially a 3 almost 4 yr old. So I can only project what my expectations of what an interview would be like with Jr. if I were to put each of my children into that situation at that age and try to predict who they would have behaved.
I have only one child that I think at that age would have been able to give an accurate description of what she had seen.
I have another child that would have been clueless even if he had witnessed it, in fact if he had started saying something about men in black I would have known it was because he watched something on tv or had seen the movie...
It's possible he was awake, it's possible he is that type of child who would be able to report but I just don't know as of now.
