My kids love her to death, says Chelsea, but sometimes Id hear the baby crying, and Misty wouldnt wake up. Im a light sleeper. I hear everything.
Thats why she doesnt buy that Mistys Tennessee cousin, Joe Overstreet, had anything do with Haleighs disappearance, despite Mistys family pointing fingers at him, and her initial suspicions . I would have woken up if hed gone out of our house, she says. But Mistys mother, Lisa, and sister in law, Lindsay, told me months ago they feared Joe had access to the keys and Chelseas van when he spent the night at their house.
But Chelsea says she didnt see Joe leave or come back, and doesnt think hes done anything wrong except be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He left for Nashville the morning Haleigh was reported missing and his mother tells me that Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents interviewed him twice in the last two weeks at their home outside Nashville.
