Misty C. #2

[scandi]

I'm wondering how LE is going to proceed with Misty now that she walked out of the questioning last Wed.

If they call her in she has to go, right? What do they do if she refuses? xox

 

[debs]

I look at it this way, if one of them (Ron, Misty, Crystal) had lawyered up within the first few days I might be inclined to pay notice and question the reasoning but we're a month into this case and those closest to Haleigh and high on the suspect list are STILL being questioned, interviewed, undergoing lie/deception detection tested so I certainly understand any one of them getting legal representation at this point - I still don't like it BUT that is ONLY because it will limit severely LE's access to them - NOT because I view it as an admission of guilt by any one of them. Am I making any sense!? Lol :banghead: :crazy: :40__s: All Better now...

Crystal's lawyer specializes in domestic and custody issues. While yeah, she's gotten a lawyer, wouldn't we all look more askance if any of them lawyered up with a CRIMINAL lawyer?

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I don't know if she has to go or not actually. Good question. She may have to go, but then has every right to leave unless they are ready to charge and arrest her on the spot.

I wonder if they are waiting around on a GJ? Is this perhaps why they are dragging their feet?

It means nothing. Where there is one custody lawyer...there are more a phone call away from her with the specialty of criminal law.

I don't care what her statement was about JO and it being when she was younger. If he was in town, it could have happened during that time. It could be her way of telling them there was a problem without telling them when. Why would she say anything at all about him if he had nothing to do with this? Why bring him up at all? Makes no sense unless she isn't the one who brought him up.

Maybe MC threw that out there like a red herring? Oftentimes, criminals (not that she's a criminal, just using it as an i.e.) will deflect attention off of themselves by throwing other names to send police off in another direction.

Odd choice of words with Misty. I thought it sounded "old" for her--almost like a classic movie, if that makes any sense.

O/T: had the same thought about Joaquin...can't believe someone else thought the same.

I have always thought that seemed like a strange choice of words. After thinking about it a bit I wonder if that is a common word in that area. I have noticed the word "lovely" being used a few times in this case...which is what made me think that.

Misty seemed defeated when she made that "I don't know" statement. I think that with the constant questioning by LE, the three polygraphs, plus the input of RC into what she should say, she really doesn't know what end is up anymore. I feel sorry for her and feel that she should get herself an attorney, lest she finds herself "set up". I don't think that she did anything to Haleigh, but I feel that she is covering for Ron, but then again his alibi "I was at work" seems to have been verified by LE and his employer, or has it? At this point, I don't know what to think.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I believe it has been verified by LE and by his employer. I heard a reporter mention it live on HLN as being done anyway. Another mystery why LE won't clear him publically tho.

The more we watch this particular group of LE...the less respect I have for them.

I'm thinking new bracelets might look really pretty with her new bling.

I am having a hard time believing anything happened to Haleigh in the pink shirt at all. Why Misty even mentioned it is beyond me. Again, makes no sense. Even if she told LE intially she was wearing a HM pink shirt...why point it out later? And why didn't the logo on the shirt go out with the AA if she did mention it?

I think Misty has changed her story and added details to mirror questions and reactions from investigators. There are simply too many things that don't add up about her story. In fact, I can't think of one single thing that adds up.

The girl either has an extremely low IQ not to be able to grasp what detectives need to know here, or she's pretending to have a low IQ with her rediculous "I don't know" answers. I'm going with pretending to have a low IQ.

LE definitely tipped their hat with their latest comment.

And can anyone provide me a link that states that LE said that they are satisfied with Ron and Misty's poly? Did that info come from Ron, his mom or Misty?

IMO, this is exactly what Misty tried to do. In fact, IIRC, the only people LE has cleared was the SO near Haleigh's house and the cousin.

ETA: Not only did this info Misty threw out deflect away from her...it took the investigation to another state.

Hopefully some legal eagle type will be by to answer that question because I'm curious too.

She walked out on an interview because of the investigator's attitude towards her. (IMHO a very moxie move for a young lady that is naive, vulnerable and incapable of understanding what is being asked of her, or she listened to them tell her that she didn't have to stay if she didn't want to because she wasn't under arrest and got up and left, both are possible)

Now, does she have to go in for questioning if they ask her to? I don't think she has to do anything unless they have her under arrest. I think she can politely decline to speak with LE if she so wishes to do so and there isn't a darn thing that they can do short of arresting her.

Which brings me to they must not have enough to arrest her or they already would have done so. Or they just want her to come clean with something that's not right about the timeline, and she refuses for whatever reason.

(I gave my opinion of why she's not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth up there ^^^^ I, personally don't think she's protecting RC because she's afraid of him, I think she's protecting her own @55 because she's afraid of losing him)

So unless they come out of the gate and arrest her. They are going to but up a creek without a paddle if she chooses not to talk to them again. Or she can say she wants to talk to Det. So-and-so because he has always been nice and respectful to her. I just don't know :twocents:

Nothing about the Polys that I've read, only this comment about interviews.

"We are satisfied with the interviews that we have had so far with Ronald, and his account of the eight hours in question," Bowling added.

Thanks, TG. Satisfied sounds like they could clear Ronald if they so desired which makes me like them even less than I did a few minutes ago. LOL

I am really floored by how they have handled this case. And if LE has some kind of damning evidence that Misty was not home that night and left Ron's children defenseless and LE did not share that info with him before he married her...well it's just wrong.

They seemed to back away from the statement of clearing the cousin tho.

If Misty took the kids and went somewhere with the SIL and/or her brother in the van that night...wouldn't it mean the brother and SIL are right up there as suspects? Could this be who Misty is trying to protect? It is true we have heard little about them, but if indeed their van is the one that LE took in...wouldn't it mean:

A) The van was in the driveway.

B) Something/someone placed Haleigh in the van during the course of that particular day or before 3:30 am.

C) Something/someone placed Misty in the van during the course of the 8 hours.

What other reason would they have to confiscate it? Drugs? Expired tags?

The blanket.

*IF* MC's behavior is attributed to protecting a man. I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar it would be one of her brothers before it would be RC. Just my two cents on MC and that's all

 

[azwriter]

That's an interesting interpretation. It always fascinates me to get other's interpretations of an instance.

I, interpreted it differently though. I saw the interview on TV then watched it again a couple of times on the internet. Just because, no special reason.

In the moment immediately following Meredith's questions about why has your story changed (something along the lines of that question). IIRC, the camera was centered on MC, and RC was out of frame.

I noticed too that she paused and looked at him. But I just figured since he was out of frame, he may have shifted his body, or inclined his head, or he could have looked at her briefly and back or he could have picked his nose for all I know.

Or she could have been looking at him because she felt like she was in the hot seat and she wanted him to defend her.

At any rate she gave her standard answer of "I don't know".

I do enjoy other's interpretations and want to say thank you to all of those that post what they see and hear.

Kat, very interesting observation. No, we didn't get to see Ron's reaction to Misty's stumbling for an answer. That would be so telling to see how he reacted. She does shift her eyes as if she's expecting him to help her out. Isn't there video of the two of them, maybe Greta's show, where he answers for her and coaches her in a low voice when she answers. I wonder why he didn't help out? Hmmm, wish that camera man had made that a wider shot in order to see both of them.

I think this is exactly what's going on. She was responsible for taking care of the two children, and either because of her own actions (killing Haleigh, accidentally or otherwise) or leaving the house unsecured and somebody came in and took Haleigh, she doesn't want Ron to know what really happened. The truth doesn't have inconsistencies but trying to make up a cover story always does. The problem LE has is they need evidence. MOO
