what does Misty know? and will we or HaLeigh's family ever know? Will HaLeigh ever be found? Will LE ever be able to prove it or lay charges? 
or those people could have been Ron, Misty, CC, TN, etc...lol, beause they're people, and they all ARE saying he picked her up. In some cases, not naming names, might lend more credibility. JMO.
Maybe, but logically speaking, why would someone make up a story that's worse than the truth? I know, I know, lol, logic and these people don't go together, but still. This is one of my problems with the JO story...if Tommy thought that tale would get him a get out of jail free card, IMO, he was sorely mistaken. In his version, he just hung around, (scared out of his wits), and did nothing to save a child or protect his sister and another child. In this story, I didn't have much problem with a scared teenaged girl hiding under the covers, and protecting a child, but I DID have a BIG problem with a big, strapping man doing nothing to stop the murder of a child. IDK what Fl law says, and it may be perfectly legal to watch murders, but I have no doubt that LE would have found something to charge Tommy with. IMO, he wasn't going home. IMO, Tommy knows enough about what's technically legal, to have manipulated a story to his benefit, or so he thought. Listening to him talk to FH and then to his dad, I didn't sense any remorse or regrets or real fear. IMO, he thought he was calling the shots and was home free. The line he kept repeating about him doing something that should have been done a long time ago, sounded so fake and contrived, IMO. It sounded like he came up with a catch phrase, thought it had a good ring to it, and stuck with it. MOO, but remembering his voice, has my blood boiling again. He, who could barely stand to hear Haleigh's name mentioned, all of a sudden was doing the honorable thing? No. And I don't believe he concocted a totally bogus story. Something was there, or LE wouldn't have conducted the search. IMO, Tommy was there that night, and saw and participated in everything. And if the truth comes out, and he really wasn't there, (anything is possible), I'll be floored and then question everything I think I know about human nature. IMO,Tommy is a liar, who has used lies his whole life, to get out of trouble, and i don't think this is any different. MOO.
I've never kept up with a case before Haleigh, but one of the by products, is I'm now very suspicious with legal speak, and try to read between the lines. My town's paper, recently covered a story in which the superintendent, unenrolled his kids and put them in a home school program. He was quoted as saying things like, ' yes, I took my kids out of public school because of medical issues. That's a fact. Yes, they are currently being home schooled. That's a fact. But, I still have a firm faith in public school, and when they're back on track, they will be back in public school. The school board supports this decision, 100%, and know that I put my wife and kids first.' Well, most people took this to mean his kids were deathly ill, and would be back in their school, when they got well. I knew better, lol. I wrote the paper and said something like, 'He never said his kids were sick, and he never said when they got well, they'd be back in their school. And why did he even mention his wife? This sounds like a personal issue, and none of our business, but why not just say so?" Well, I got told I needed to be more sympathetic because he had made it abundantly clear that his kids were sick, and we should all pray, etc... but guess who was right? His wife had left him, and was putting the kids in another district. He didn't want to admit it, because he had been given a lot of money to relocate, house allowance, etc...and had turned his kids school into a magnet school. Anyway, after keeping up with Haleigh, I can spot evasive legal speak, aimost immediately. I bet we all can.
I had a semi theory of how Tommy and JO got involved, if Ron was responsible. Say he got home, Misty was gone, and he found that he had been robbed. Because of ongoing problems, he knew Tommy and JO were responsible. In a rage, something happens to Haleigh. He then calls Tommy and says something along the lines of, 'I know you were here, I can prove it. My machine gun is gone and so is my daughter.' Well, Tommy decides that he can't go to cops, because what are the odds that he stole the gun, but NOT Haleigh. He won't be believed, and at the least, he'll be looking at some hefty burglary charges. So, since the case seems unsolvable, he decides to let sleeping dogs lie. By the time he goes to jail, he thinks it's too late for the truth, so he makes up a story blaming JO. I know this isn't likely, and would require a lot of cat and mouse, but it's one of the few ways, I can imagine Tommy not involved...him thinking he would be implicated. JMO
