Here's one to try on. After reading the arrest reports this morning, Cajun Girl posted in the "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm" that perhaps Misty and Haleigh went for a ride with a buyer last February, and Haleigh didn't return. That made me start thinking.
Suppose Misty did have a drug deal that night last February. She talks to Ron on the phone, and they argue about whether or not she should go and what to do with the kids, etc. Misty didn't have a vehicle, so they arrange to borrow one or have someone drive her (Hank, Jr?, cousin JO?)
During some of the drug deals with the UC, Misty waited with the UC in the car while Hank or Ron left with the money to make the score. Perhaps Misty left Haleigh in the car with a buyer while she and Jr drove off in a friend's or sibling's car to get the goods. They return, and the buyer and Haleigh are long gone. A desperate search ensues, and they drive through the woods, denting and scratching the vehicle along the way. Meanwhile, Ron's trying to call her, but no answer.
Misty and company finally give up and go to Tyler St where the cover up begins. Remember, during the LE radio transmissions from Green St that night, there was mention of another report from Tyler St.? Did anyone ever figure that out?
Later, Ron says, "My dumb *advertiser censored* (or was it "dumb , *advertiser censored**ing *advertiser censored*) girlfriend let my daughter get stole!"
Right now I'm liking this theory, but there are still holes to fill.
If R&M aruged about whether or not she should go, what was the basis of the argument? I think Ron wanted her to go. Otherwise, he would've killed her. This goes along with my longstanding belief that Ron is guilty of "something" that resulted in Haleigh's death.
Did she go alone with the kids? Or did someone drive her?
If someone else was with her, why didn't she stay in the car? Maybe the supplier would sell only to her or Ron.
So why not leave the other person behind? Maybe she was alone. Maybe it was a "driving" issue. IDK. Can anyone help me out with this one?
