If it is true and the man was an FBI informant, why didn't he give the tip to the FBI? Someone asked this awhile back and it is an excellent question. Did LE contact him? Did they verify him through the FBI?
I wondered the same thing. Either this guy is on the up & up with really being an informant but maybe the FBI was flooded with tips...or...maybe he's not really held in as high regard as he thinks...or...maybe the FBI let the tip go through so that PCSO would acknowledge the letter came from a "gifted" informant, therefore the FBI wouldn't have to acknowledge that. This is a high profile case, maybe the FBI didn't want to go on record acknowledging they use psychic informants. I wonder about this stuff b/c surely PCSO has received 100's, possibly 1000's of psychic tips. They never went on record acknowledging any of them...but they did with this guy. Maybe the FBI actually suggested it be handled the way it was handled...by being dropped off at the newspaper - heck, I have no idea!
If he feels so strongly about her being there, why not have him go to the scene and make certain they are in the right spot. I don't know that LE did any digging at all. So is it possible they missed her?
The mystery lady was in scrubs. If she works in home health care, such as a visiting nurse, then I wonder if her charge has mobility? Maybe the informant is bedridden...just speculating. I do wonder why PCSO doesn't just go to him, although maybe they have & we're just not privy to it. If they did take his tip serious, I sure wish they could get him themselves and take him to find the exact area he's speaking of. At least it could be ruled out, or ruled in.
It doesn't seem like a logical place to put a little girl's body, imo...unless the person living there was involved and he buried her in his backyard. There are a lot of homes nearby. If it was someone else...how did they know about the old well? The directions talk about digging down to even find the old well so evidently it wasn't in plain sight and had long since been covered up.
Wells are public info. I'm still trying to find it. Anything related to plumbing, gas lines, sewers, water mains, earth faults, etc is public info. I wish I could find it. I've read that the well was covered by a metal lid...I think that came from the St. Augustine Record link you provided...can't remember.
Again, I have to mention the man living near there was the one interviewed in the media and his comments were very odd, imo. I was never clear on where the old mh was located before they moved to Green Lane. Could someone help me out? The old man said he used to watch the children play every day, but where they lived at 202 GL...it is not possible to see them with the trees and the distance.
I'm wondering if there was an opening or the kids played in the road. The mobile home neighborhood doesn't seem like it would have busy roadways. I thought the old man's comments were a bit odd, too, considering they were said right after Haleigh went missing. Then again, maybe he was just reminiscing like alot of old people do.
