I'd love to read your theory too, Theonly1;Anyone willing to go the next step after reading these articles and apply their theories to this case? I would LOVE to read it.
Ah, Indigo... detail-oriented, anal retentive, nit-picking, word dissectors of the world unite!!Kant!! You know I love ya for this!
Also, about the door being wide open.... The whole manner in which the scene was described just didn't ring true for me at all. I think I have a transcript, if I can find it.
Couldn't they simply have TOLD the cops that the door was open?
Or did they think that leaving the door open made it more believable?
I mean if I found the door open at 3 AM and it wasn't my hubby/erotic life partner . . coming home from work, I would be terrified and want to grab Jr. and close/lock the door .....or close/lock the door and then grab Jr.... b/c I wouldn't know if whoever were coming back.
And later I'd be OK with simply TELLING the cops that the door was open; Why wouldn't they believe me? I would assume that they would believe me; and I wouldn't feel the need to "prove" to LE that the door was open by leaving it open - especially if I were there alone with one baby left and one baby missing.
I know many times it's better not to touch things involved in possible crime scenes, but at that moment.. in the moment.... protecting the remaining child and myself woud be my first concern... right at that moment. I mean, that right or wrong, I'd close the dang door. Jus sayin.
PS
Protective full body armor is firmly in place for incoming flying vegetable onslaught. I prefer cucumbers.

Speaking of theories, Theonly1, I'm hoping that's what everyone will do here.... even if it comes in bits and pieces - share our theories or red flags or hinky meters as far as what's been said in the audios, videos, and transcripts.Anyone willing to go the next step after reading these articles and apply their theories to this case? I would LOVE to read it.
I know, right?you could always slam the door shut with your foot as to not touch the doorknob, besides, if there are prints, they are likely on the outside, not the inside of the door.
keeping it open was over the top, but then so was the whole 911 call, imo.
Who hangs up on a 911 operator anyway?
I've had to call them a gazillion times for my severely disabled son, and when you're calling out for help, you don't say oh to H!ll with you, you're no good, I'm calling someone else, and hang up! Twice!
Who does That???!!!!!

I'd be terrified someone was in the house!
editing to add.... which is why 911 would have been my #1 priority (while grabbing JR).
Ah, but they couldn't just leave the door open--it needed to be "bricked" to stay open. Misty was vague about the cinderblock/brick; Ron unknowingly added more detail:
GRACE: Do you know where the cinderblock came from that was propping the door open?
CUMMINGS: Don`t have a clue. I don`t mess with none of that, so I don`tknow. I very rarely am in the back yard at all unless I`m washing mycar. So it could have came from around my shed. I`m renting. I don`t
know if the previous renters had it or what, but I`ve never seen it, I
don`t believe.
GRACE: So to your knowledge, you`ve never seen it.
CUMMINGS: Not that I believe. I mean, I may be mistaken and have seen it before, but I know it wasn`t where it`s at now.

Ron said he has no clue, then went on to narrow it down considerably.
ME! I have hung up on 911! I didn't have time to sit and chat with a woman bleeding in my kitchen who required immediate medical attention until help arrived.~snipped~

I can understand your doing that in your situation, SeriouslySearching ; If you knew what to do for a bleeding person, it makes total sense to me for you to abandon the call and tend immedaitely to the bleeder as best you can til further help arrived.ME!

There may have been another time I hung up on them, too. Action requires people to be off the phone and to me...it is a waste of time to sit and answer questions. After I call for a request of fire, police, ambulance...tell them the situation, the location, and such...no need to keep them on the line unless they can help me.
I would not have stayed on the call with them in that situation either. I would have been looking for Haleigh and calling neighbors, family, others to come help, too. I guess it is why I don't consider it a big deal. I agree that dispatch wasn't going to be immediate help especially since it would take much longer for a deputy to arrive in a country type setting. The need to start looking was immediate and my response would not have been much different. I can see the urgency and desire to get them off the phone.
