I vote MC. When the "intruder" story failed, she and ToC had to come up with another one and since JO is the family outsider, it's him that's getting thrown under the bus. Just MOO, of course.
ususlly in a situation, where a finger is being pointed at a suspect, he starts pointing his right back. I wonder why Joe hasn't done this. His lawyer may have told him to keep his mouth shut, so as not to implicate himself of ANY involvement, or maybe he really doesn't know anything. Personally, I think even if he's not the murderer, he is most definantly involved. He may just be trying to save his hide from any jail time, but I don't know. With Tommy's wild stories being made public, via his lawyer, you'd think he'd come out & offer some proof that he is lieing or exagerating. I'd want to clear my name, even if it meant confessing to being a part of the disposal or clean-up. It is possible that he wasn't involved, but when he saw that Haleigh was missing, decided to take off, so as not to get caught up in the investigation. This story just doesn't make much sense. He had to of known that Haleigh would be reported missing & that he would be seen as a suspect. Why kill her? I just don't see much of a motive. Even if it was to cover a sexual assault, wouldn't it make more sense to lie & cover for that? But people aren't always logical. There was a teenaged guy, here in town, who raped his sister & then cut her throat & left her to die. She survived & told on him. But the main difference with him, was that there weren't other people involved, to tell on him. He thought he was home free. If the Joe story is true, he left witnesses.
so, I guess that's my main problem absorbing this story-the left witnesses. But if Tommy was an equal partner, that would just leave Misty. & if she was really hiding, that would leave none. So, if this story is anywhere near true, I have to believe that Joe & Tommy were in on it together. & where does Misty's dream of 3 or 4 men, fit in? Who is the other 1 or 2? & where does Jr's account fit in?
so, why would Tommy admit to being there, & going to the disposal site? Why would he accuse Joe of murder? to protect Misty? I don't think so,
I've had another thought on this. LE stated that they had reason to believe that Misty wasn't @ home that night. maybe everything went down while she was gone, so she really doesn't know exactly what happened. maybe Tommy filled her in later, & she's inserting herself into his story. (didn't she say that Tommy showed her the disposal site?) maybe there's no real verification that Joe was in that house except from Tommy. maybe THAT'S why Tommy recanted the 10
clock check-it didn't fit his story. I'd like to know if Jr. remembers Misty being home @ the time of the squeaky shoes, etc...because for him to have noticed that sound, the trailer must've been very quiet, & not the rage filled craziness that we've been hearing.I've had another thought on this.
