Back on topic, I wonder if anyone has any new opinions on motive and what happened. I can't get past Misty and Tommy.
I can't get past them either, but I can't figure out how Ron's behavior fitS in. I'm to the point, where I think they're all guilty. Logically, Misty should be the perp. She claims to have been the last to see Haleigh, and has failed about 4 lie tests. Would Ron cover for her? On the other hand, what would be Tommy's motive to keep quiet? Why would he falsely blame his cousin? If Misty or Ron was responsible, he would have everything to gain, by coming clean and nothing to lose. Why hasn't Ron come clean? And I do believe, (because of LE statements), he's holding back. What in the world could make this group of people protect each other?

This is a theory I've kind of played around with, that would explain how they could all be culpable, and also answer a few questions. Misty picks Haleigh up from the bus stop, and being tired and worn out, she pulls the car over and beats Haleigh. Although she is severly injured, Ron goes to work and Misty either leaves or hangs around the house and goes to bed...probably after drugging Haleigh. At some point, she finds an almost dead Haleigh. She either calls for help, or Ron does, and a man in black,(Tommy?), takes her. The bouncing couch, could have been a resuscitation attempt. Anyway, this theory could answer a few questions...like why TN sent a relative over, why Misty said Haleigh was fine at the time, how the AC man could have seen Haleigh, (if he did), and why they lied about who picked up Haleigh. Also, it would explain how they were all culpable. Misty for causing the injury, Ron for not seeking help, and Tommy, for disposing of a still alive Haleigh. There are a lot of problems with this theory, but for these 3 to be willing to sit in prison, it's MOO, that they all could be involved. If LE suspects something like this, it could also explain them offering Misty ammunity...because, technically, what she did, wouldn't be murder. If somebody disposed of an alive Haleigh, he would be the murderer. I personally, know of a few instances here, where after severe beatings, men have gone home, gone to bed, and then later died. The same thing happened to a man, after a one vehicle wreck. He was drunk, but to avoid a DWI, he didn't go to the hospital. So, these slow acting brain injuries, do happen. JMO, and just a theory.
I think the fear of the death penalty, might be a factor in this. Even though Misty wouldn't necessarily be worried for herself, I could see her being concerned for somebody else. I know she's not the most compassionate person, but overall, I don't think she's too worried about her own situation. If she was miserable, she might talk, but she doesn't look miserable, IMO. She seems ok. One of her worst faults, IMO, is she seems to say whatever somebody wants her to. She jumped right in with Tommy on the JO story, but jumped right back out, when Chelsea changed her tune. IMO, she changed some of her earlier stories AFTER Ron did, and even in the LVA, I got the feeling that she was pointing at CS because Ron wanted her to, and at her own family because LE wanted her to. I could see how the interviewer perked up when she talked about Tommy and JO. I wonder if Misty has ever spoken her own mind. JMO
I think if Haleigh had died in the mobile home, LE would have detected it some how, and declared the trailer the crime scene. Also, even if they didn't want to jump to the conclusion of murder, they would have been clear about not looking for a live Haleigh. I do think LE can detect death, can't they? Wouldn't the dogs have hit inside the house? which brings up the dumpster hits. Sometimes I think it's the things that LE has seemingly disregarded, that are the most important...like the dumpster hit and the oxycontin od letter. I remember them saying that the pond search had nothing to do with Haleigh, and that it was a training exercise or something. Well, it was Haleigh related, and that incident makes me wonder how often they downplay and deny important clues. I also remember them saying that an interview with Tommy, had nothing to do with the search, and the timing was coincidental. Now, I wonder.JMO
like I said, it's just a theory. Somebody asked for some ideas on different theories, and I was trying to think outside the box. I didn't say this is what I think happened.IDK what happened. I'm just trying to answer some of the lingering questions. But yes, I think Misty was that tired, hungover, needing to crash, whatever. ONe witness said she didn't seem like herself and looked worn out, and another said she saw her smacking a little boy. Add that to what we know about her weekend, and I can safely assume, she wasn't in the best frame of mind. IMO, her smacking a little boy, and then later beating Haleigh, isn't that farfetched. Plus, FH said she heard a rumor that Misty hit Haleigh with a board. That 16 yr old Ron had known for only 3 months, is the same 16 yr old, he married, while his daughter was missing. Ron was ok with Misty enough to marry her, so yes, I think he'd overlook a lot of things. If Haleigh wasn't dead when Misty got finished with her, I'm not sure he'd see her as a murderer. And if he saw the injuries, and didn't get help, well, then he would be guilty too. JMO, but I'm trying to keep an open mind and look at some different scenarios. JMO
When LE labels someone, 'the last person to see so and so', I always think, 'whatever', because whoever committed the crime, is actually the last person. But, according to Misty's story, nobody was there to take Haleigh, until after they were all asleep. ..so by default, she's claiming to be at the least, the last person besides the perp. Too bad she didn't wake up for no reason, a little earlier, and she would have caught the perp....jmo
And which topic would that be? We have discussed many on this thread. Most of them are plausible...JMOBack on topic, I wonder if anyone has any new opinions on motive and what happened. I can't get past Misty and Tommy.
