Tommy also drove a red truck didn't he? I never hear any questions answered on the shows about if Tommy called Ron back that night or if he was accounted for by anyone other than the 10:00 pm that he claims to have gone to the trailer. Does he have any alibi for the night...
Do you think that TN and GMS would be covering for Tommy? I doubt it.
Do you think that Ron and Misty would be covering for Tommy? I doubt it.
It seems Misty throws him under the bus every chance she gets. Ron is the one who left the dead rat in Tommy's mailbox. Now had it been the other way around I might entertain that thought a little further BUT.....from what I know it looks like Tommy was the one being told not to talk/snitch.
I think Tommy may know as much as Misty has told him but just the like the road rage incident with Charles (per Charles) Misty told Ron she may have told too much information. You see how Ron reacted in both situations. Dead rats and car chases. Doesn't sound like a father trying to get information about his missing daughter. You see he warned Misty about Donna B too.
Each time Misty slipped up and told too much Ron had to cover her tracks. I can't see Misty saying "I told Tommy what happened let's put a dead rat in his mailbox so he doesn't tell". Nope I don't see that happening but with Ron that's a different story. I can't see Misty saying "I told Charles some stuff lets set him up and try to run him off the road". Nope don't see that either but once again with Ron that's a different story. Ron even felt the need to correct Misty on certain details like who slept where, what time everyone went to sleep and whether or not there was forced entry into the motorhome the night Haleigh disappeared. Ron knew an awful lot to have been at work when all those things occurred. He wasn't correcting Misty as if she was lying but because she couldn't get THEIR story straight and once again he had to come in and clean up her mess.
It seems quite clear to me that Ron is the mastermind, not Misty. Ron feels he has to cover Misty's tracks because the night Haleigh went missing-MIsty covered his tracks.
IMO, Ron is trying to keep everybody quiet.....I mean everybody.
Why would a father do these things if his main focus was to find out what happened to his daughter that's missing? doesn't make sense if he wasn't involved. All JMO.
