FWIW...in the 911 call I noted Misty trying to explain to the operator about the block first says something about it being on the "floor" IIRC, then, she expands to explain on the ramp, IIRC. Maybe nothing...maybe something...:waitasec:
We can only speculate on the little shreds of information we have, but, when/if we learn the as-found status of the solid door I think it tells us something.
One props a doorway (2-doors in this case) open for a variety of reasons.
1) One will be carrying a heavy/awkward load through a self-closing doorway by oneself without the assistance of someone to help hold the door...or even if one has someone to help hold one door if/when the 2nd door swings in the opposite direction as I believe these doors function.
2) One wants to carry an awkward load through same without damaging the load or the doorway
Without Damage? Means someone cares
3) One wants to naturally cool a room
It was in the 40 that early morning and I would assume cool enough inside trailer
4) One wants to naturally ventilate a room
Misty would of seen that she left door open while washing laundry and would address before going to bed.
5) One will be carrying several loads, even small-to-medium, through the doorway and wishes to do so quickly, and/or, without the nuisance of operating the doors.
6) One wants to stage an egress which points away from the occupants of the home (*Indigo)
I believe this case would be a heck of a black mark on this new Sheriff if he believed and or had evidence of a inside job and had not made an arrest of these two. (Ron and Misty)
...anyone wanna add 7, 8, 9 etc.?
...and of course, the list gets longer to compare the reasons only 1 door would be propped open and the other would be ajar.
911 report is going to be used as evidence am I correct? would the officer responding be sure to clarify to the best of his or her ability of the statements of the witnesses. Police report states misty claims she didn't notice till she ran around the house that back door propped ( meaning to me she did not notice the back door from inside.)
[COLOR="Purple" I feel this is important in regards to Misty's actions. the statement indicates her natural thought to go out front door not considering the back door was open .... the inside door was closed or barley ajar. So the question really should be what indicated to Misty other than the kitchen light to be on that Haleigh was missing? Would it be possible she woke saw the light went into kitchen ( knew for sure she turned off the light per habit and or saw something aside from not seeing back door open that caused her to go back to the room to get her cell phone and then notices Haleigh missing and then starts the process of searching in the home then outside the home then trying to call Ron and he states he was in the driveway.

...and plus 1 that for only 1 door propped open and the other latched
IMHO, We can speculate on which of the above is the more likely motive based on the manner in which doors were propped. And based on the motive..better speculate on who was responsible for propping it open.
Early in the case we spent some time discussing the block itself...and...upon searching this afternoon I cannot find a thread dedicated to the block. Sooo....I'm off to create one and will include the option to discuss whether or not it was solely responsible for holding both doors, or if something else was employed. I see the close connection w/ this thread, however, IMHO, the prop itself is as independently important to solving this as is "How [Did] The Side Door Get Opened". Hopefully we'll see it explored enough to stand on its own merit.
