If the topic here is theories about Ron's break and work schedule, my theory is that LE knows when he was at work. And I think the 911 call supports that he has come home and found his daughter missing. Let's compare what Misty says and what Ron says, via statement analysis.
The pattern is clear.
Not one straightforward, syntactically clear statement. "We just like, you know." "It's almost like--on the stairs--we have a walkway...". There is really not one coherent sentence in this list. And we know from hearing the tape that she was far from hysterical or distraught. She's just not telling the truth about any of it.
Lots of alibi-making because she is inserting information that 911 doesn't need and is not germane to asking for police response. "We just like, you know, it was about 10 o'clock--she was sleeping, I was cleaning." "When I was asleep it wasn't that way." (How would she know?) There's someone telling a rehearsed story. She literally can't fit the story into the 911 operator's questions. She's telling the alibi.
The first statement is the most telling: Hi umm I just woke up and our backdoor was wide open and I think and I cant find our daughter." Now, the order of this is understandable, if not optimal. But what is missing is the connective tissue. She might be telling the story in the order it happened: wake up, find the backdoor open, can't find the child. But what is "I think" doing in there? She thinks she can't find "our daughter"? She thinks the open door is linked to the missing child? Here is one of those syntax breaks that indicates possible deception. What is she starting to say that she has to stop? The sentence that she can't finish? She can't say "I think" the child has been kidnapped or someone came in and stole the child because that is not part of her story. Her story is that she just woke up and presto, the door is open and Haleigh is missing. She has no idea where she is. But the break in the sentence indicates that there is something that she isn't saying.
Now, here is the early part of Ron's part of the 911 call.
The pattern: Clear sentences. No extraneous information. The part about "I just got home from work" is important information because it tells the 911 operator that he wasn't home and has just found her missing. It anticipates the question, "When did you find her missing?" in a straightforward way. And he asks for help: "I need someone here now." Clear, perfect syntax, no breaks or interruptions. Every single sentence letter perfect syntax, including "I don't *advertiser censored***** know." Even his rant (which would be one place to look for deception) is rendered in perfect syntax, including complex sentence structure.
Contrast his response for a description of the pajamas with Misty's response to what Haleigh was wearing:
She moves straight from the answer to the "story." Ron? Just answers the question.
Now, it isn't hard to see that these two people's "statements" are radically different in terms of the things that statement analysts look at. That doesn't mean that RC's story is true. But seen in contrast to Misty's statements--which we know are lies--RC is clear, coherent, straightforward and highly emotional. And if the "RC killed her before he went to work or on his break" theories are true, he would have had hours to stew over a story, rehearse it and thus stumble into the same linguistic traps that Misty does. Because when people lie, their brains often have to scramble to get the words out.

I agree and, respectfully, disagree. What you're saying about the statements and "alibi making" goes for both, IMO. Just because MC was the one to call (we know that RC made her call) and she embelished more than RC during the call, I don't think means much. His statement of "I just got home from work and..." is just as alibi making as hers. PLUS the fact he was constantly answering things with "I was at work". Most of the time, it didn't even make sense as an answer. "Do you believe Misty's story?", "Do you think Jr told Crystal the story about the man in black?", "What do you think happened?" -- and many, many more. That statement, added with the smirk, tells me he's just sitting back saying "ha ha suckers!"
