Is it just me or does Smallwood have this scenario all figured out? He sounds like he is giving a play by play of what really could have happened, imo. It is TMI and almost like the hypothetical that LE asks for a suspected perp to provide to them, imo. No one asked him for his theory or opinion that I can tell...he just volunteered it.
For a person not having lived in the area for ten years, he appears to know a lot about the surroundings of the home still and a lot of information about the case in general. He even attempts to blame Misty for not hearing the sounds because she was drunk or something and brings up the creaky floors which now do not exist. Since no one except AC man technically has been ruled out and he chose to insert himself in this case from Georgia...they should take a very long look at him.
He is telling where to park the car, walking up to the house easily, hiding/sitting in the trees (the chair?), and trying to throw Misty under the bus all in the same interview. It doesn't sit well with me and I didn't notice these things before. Sit back WHERE, Mr. Smallwood?!
Smallwood remembered the house and said its floors were noisy. He said if someone was walking inside, he could hear them even if they were on the other side of the house.
"Someone could not carry the child out of that house unless someone was in a drunken stupor, and not hear that child being taken from that house," Smallwood said.
~Snip~
Beyond the lock, Smallwood says the way the home is tucked into the woods makes it a perfect place for someone to snatch a child.
"You could park down into the trees and walk right up," Smallwood explained. "If you were going to abduct someone, all you would have to do is sit back there and no one would see you."

And I just found more on Dr. Smallwood, but I am looking for the original link where he said it.:
Dr. Jesse Smallwood, previous tennant, stated, in his opinion, the woods are too thick to get through behind the home. He said the driveway and road is the only way for someone to get out of that area. To me, that would mean the intruder would exit the front door, which is closer to the bedroom.

He also made the rounds to the NG show:
SMALLWOOD: OK. Well, what would you like to know?
GRACE: Well, how big is it? Because we know the babysitter did not hear someone when they took the little girl.
SMALLWOOD: Well, it was 10 by 10, if I`m not mistaken, with a room tarp, with a huge garden tub in the corner. Left-hand corner of the room as you enter into the door. Because we had a queen size bed, and I`m 6`5", pretty big guy.
GRACE: OK.
SMALLWOOD: And I had bypass surgery, and so I could not get around in the room.
GRACE: Were you surprised when you heard that the babysitter did not hear someone take the little girl?
SMALLWOOD: Well, if they came in the back door, because it`s a long ways, because you had to come through the washroom, the kitchen, the dining room.
GRACE: So were you surprised?
SMALLWOOD: The double living room. Yes, I was.
