There's no way TN and Ron believe that Crystal had something to do with taking Haleigh to Montana (or Mars, or whatever).
I don't think they ever behaved as if they believe that. TN's body language has always appeared very compassionate towards Crystal.
That Ron clings to this idea is pretty darn weird. He knows no one believes it to be even a remote possibilitiy. Is he trying to comfort himself, or his mother with a Crystal-kidnapping-Haleigh scenario where Haleigh is alive and well?
TN's not interested in the Crystal fantasy. She focuses on getting Misty to talk. Ron agrees: of course, THAT's why he's in jail - he did it to get Misty to talk. THIS fantasy, (how Ron ended up in jail), TN willingly goes along with.
Mother & son support each other's fantasies (lies) all day long. Time and time again, their words conflict with what we observe them doing. This is very troubling.
But does this make them a) guilty of a major cover-up?
Or does it just make them b) beyond dysfunctional.
If we refer back to the Caylee Anthony case, it's easy to convince that c) it's both. Maybe too easy.
The Cummings family dynamic feels wrought with deception and deep fear. Ron scares me because he seems cold and soul-less. Often transparently so. I think he scares his mother, he scares Misty, and I know he scares GGMS. I think they never know when he's gonna blow. I see TN working overtime to soothe the hotheaded beast that is her child.
It's become no easier to figure this case out, IMO from what we've heard on these tapes. We can only hope LE is having a different experience.
Here is another thing about him pointing fingers. Why doesn't he say a word about Timmy or Tommy? Even after knowing Tommy went to his trailer, not a freaking word.
