Misty handing the phone to Ron to speak with the AC man is a possibility, but I think we need to be careful that we aren't molding events to our liking. What probably happened is the AC man arrived and Misty called Ron, then handed the phone to the AC man to speak with Ron. She did say she handed the phone to RON but she could have just made an error in speaking. it happens, we've all done that--used the wrong name.
The AC man was visited by LE the morning of Feb. 10, at around 4:30-5:00, and LE doesn't visit people at their home at that hour unless it's something important. IIRC, LE had him cleared within half an hour or so. It is assumed by many that this AC man reported having seen Haleigh at the MH, but we do not know for sure if he in fact reported that to LE. Seems to me, LE could have said right away that the child was seen at whatever time by this AC man...yet they did not state that, as far as I can recall. What LE has stated is that they do not know what time whatever happened to Haleigh happened.
I am wondering now if the AC man did not see Haleigh at all, maybe she was there and maybe not, but at any rate I am thinking he did not report having seen her...and the fact that no one could say they saw Haleigh after she got off the school bus is what led AS to her first and subsequent statement of having visited the home at 7:00/7:30/8:00/7:30 the evening of Feb. 9 and seeing Haleigh on the porch eating ravioli/green beans.
Could it be that AS came forward a week+ after the fact to make her statement of having visited that evening, not as much to say Misty was there but more to say Haleigh was there because no one else reported having seen Haleigh...not even the AC man???
As far as I know the AC man's statement has not been published at all. There has only been speculation on what he may have said. LE apparently were quick to contact him to get his statement and went no further with any additional interviews, as far as we know. I assumed originally that Misty had misspoke when she said that she "handed" the phone to Ron but right now I'm trying to look at prior statements for another look since much has happened since early 2009 and maybe something will stick out, KWIM? And you are so right, LE did state that they do not know when the crime took place. This case investigation is moving like slow molasses.:banghead:
