(Quoted from Dots Eyes post (blue), quoting me (black and red)
As far as I know, neither Tommy or Joe has ever EVER been charged with any assault on Misty, and no proof of any exists except from Misty herself, said in a self-serving function to remove any suspicion from her at the moment and to point it in another direction.
Okay. We know this.
Tommy has small children who live with him. I believe continuing to talk about their father as a possible sexual offender is not only dangerous but slanderous. It has been alleged, again by Misty, that Joe may have harmed a younger cousin. No proof again exists for this claim. Again it was done to divert attention from Misty and onto someone else, self-serving.
Slander? Libel? This would be Misty's problem. It may not be self-serving if it is true.
It is self-serving even if it is true. Misty uses her charges of sexual abuse at the hands of these two as a shield from having people ask her about whether she is involved or has knowledge regarding the disappearance of Haleigh. She does not offer any tangible evidence for why these two should be considered; she offers them as a "I was/am a victim here, someone pay attention to ME!" The claims are not to draw attention to Haleigh's plight.
Any theory which has these two men removing Haleigh for the purposes of either keeping her quiet because they were there to rob the place (pick your item: Gun, drugs, "other things"), for nefarious and criminal crimes against Haleigh's person, or anything else, simply does not fit if we are only to use the word of a known liar (Misty) to their tendencies.
Umm. Seems Jo just got out of prison and HC2 just got out of jail for stealing a gun from an old blind man. Misty's accusations can be thrown into the garbage bin and these 2 still reek.
They might reek. That does not make Misty's allegations true. It just says they're punks. Looking at Joe's pages and the pages of his friends says just how gangsta they wanna be. But lookin' bad and talking'tough doesn't automatically draw a line to sexual perversion and murder. That is not a logical leap without any other evidence, of which we have zero. As I said earlier:
While Tommy and Joe are no strangers to illegal behavior, neither of them has ever been convicted of what Misty has alleged (or charged, for that matter) and it takes more than a quantum leap in logic to assume that petty thieves, in the commission of a felonious burglary, would then commit together a capital offense of kidnapping and possibly rape and murder.
With your logic, it appears that Misty, who has no criminal record whatsoever, should also be eliminated as a suspect because it would be 2 quantum leaps for her to go from baby sitter to murdereress or baby seller.
It is less a quantum leap to think a stressed out, drug hazy teenager in charge of two children who are not her own would snap and take out her frustrations on someone smaller than her, who clearly was more important to her man than she was. Time immemorial has proven this motive. In fact, the more Misty talks about her alleged victimization, the more convinced I am that Misty herself took her pain and hurt out on Haleigh, who by all accounts was loved by her daddy. Misty's jealousy to have what Haleigh had can not be discounted. They were not that far apart in age, afterall. 11 years is a small span when accompanied by Misty's emotional age. She's by all accounts been a throw-away child. Ronald had literally thrown her stuff out onto someone else's lawn just a few days prior. Oh yes, he took her back, but at what cost and threat? It isn't quantum leaping needed here. It is as LE states: Misty is the key.
If it does not fit, one must just quit.
Could not agree more.
I'm personally not prepared to accuse either of these individuals of a sexual motivation where a five year-old is concerned based upon Misty's allegations. JMO
