Ya know I never gave it much thought Bluesky but your absolutely right, five o'clock is awefully late in the day for a service person to arrive. As I recall from two previous visits to Florida in the month of February, it was actually quite chilly (and this is from a girl from Maine), so chilly in fact that we turned on the heat, not the A/C. Any thoughts on this - anyone, as to why the A/C unit would be serviced at this time of the year?

That's another interesting observation elle. The only thing that I can ASSume (lol, so many "IF's" in this case) is that LE's first/initial contacts were based upon the names of persons Misty and/or Ronald provided to them as to who was at/in the home in the hours leading up to Haleigh's disappearance. Based on that ASSumption, Misty's list of visitors provided to LE was not complete and/or accurate. IF this is the case, it is not the fault of LE that they didn't persue and question cousin Jo immediately (or anyone else for that matter that Misty may have omitted). If this is the case and Misty provided LE with additional names following her first account of visitors, it's no wonder (at least to me) that LE refers to her as "the key" and remains focused on her in this investigation. This, IMO, has been one of the biggest obstacles in this case. I believe that MANY have told lies in this case and LE is left to determine and distinguish; Is this individual lying because they're involved with Haleigh's disappearance OR are they lying because they a) fear someones anger, i.e., if Misty had someone over to the MH who Ron had clearly told her was not to be in/at the home... b) fear of jeopardizing Ronald's custody of Jr. c) fear of self-incrimination by disclosing their actual whereabouts/and contacts as this would reveal an involvement in illegal activities, such as drug use... LE has been left to sort all of this out which, IMO, has been extremely unfair - IMO if TN, RC, GGS's are angry at LE for not having moved/looked beyond the inner-circle, than they need to clarify these issues to LE; WHY THEY LIED ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS. Until then, IF THEY TRULY ARE INNOCENT OF ANY INVOLVEMENT IN HALEIGH'S DISAPPEARANCE, they will continue to look suspicous - they need to put it all out on the table and start telling it like it is, i.e., "I lied because I was afraid that DCF would get involved if they knew *advertiser censored*...", "I lied because I was afraid Ron would be mad at me for having *advertiser censored* over when he'd told me that he didn't want *advertiser censored* in the house...", "I lied because I was afraid of how it would look to *advertiser censored*...", "I lied because I'm addicted to/have dealt *advertiser censored* and I knew how that would look and I was afraid of going to jail..." Justifying the lies to themselves by claiming that they only wanted to keep the focus on HaLeigh and not on R & M's lifestyle or other family issues HAS NOT worked in HaLeigh's favor. It has only served to make them look suspicous and possibly guilty. LE & the public's suspicion of them is not inapropriate, it is the typical/average/normal reaction when someone has told half-truths, mistruths, omitted information, changed information... This is my issue with the Cumming's anger/frustration with LE. There is much they have done themselves to contribute to this situation and to save face, rather than admit now that they went into "protect Ronald mode" (protect information about Ronald's involvement in xyz..., protect information about Ronald's disciplinary style with the kids...protect/improve the appearance of Ronald living with a 16 year-old...), they don't want to admit that they were thinking of all of the above OVER assisting LE in finding HaLeigh. I say give TN her wish and bring in the FBI and let's start at square one; if the Cummings have nothing to hide in terms of being involved in HaLeigh's disappearance, answer the questions by telling the whole truth and nothing but the whole truth WITHOUT any concern of how it will make anyone (esp. Ronald) look. Simply bringing in the FBI won't change the equation in favor of finding Haleigh and/or the truth as to what happened to her, the equation needs to be changed by the Cummings IMO, otherwise, two - fours months from now, we'll be hearing the same things that are being said about PCSO by the family being said about the FBI and that would be a damn shame IMO. All just my thoughts elle at the moment. (I'm not yelling when I use CAPS - I'm emphasizing :innocent
MOO-
