It appears that Misty has finally cleared her head of drugs, but not of the relative ease with which she continues to lie through her teeth. I find nothing credible about Misty in this new video. Noticeably, she doesn't seek to blame Ron for HaLeigh's disappearance. We've heard this particular Croslin theory before. Misty's back to laying the seeds for drug-dealers stealthily scooping H out of the trailer as she slept that night.
This case boils down to an uncooperative family-the Croslin Family, and how every one of the Croslin siblings (and their wives) will do and say whatever is necessary to protect the 2 Croslins who were present the night HaLeigh was murdered by one or both of them. Chelsea and/or Timmy were involved in the cover-up that night (van), but Tommy---and Misty as either a major player or complicit in H's murder and coverup are responsible for the homicide.
As another poster noted, there are likely several elements of truth in the tale Tommy instructed Misty to tell re the van, implied sexual assault, brick and yellow rope, and river. Tommy places himself at the trailer door, van and at the river with HaLeigh. He was out of his mind on drugs that evening, and committed the homicide alone or with help.
If Ron were responsible, one, two or all of the Croslins would have given him up ages ago. Sure, Ron was a druggie, a dealer, an abuser and possessed guns, but he didn't murder his daughter either accidentally or deliberately. No drug dealer, gang member, etc. took HaLeigh because of money Ron owed. And Misty and the Croslin siblings took full advantage of Ron's history in the explanation Misty likely provided Ron when he returned home.
Misty cannot tell the truth because she would rather be in prison for 25 long years on drug charges, than to be labelled a child murderer, or found complicit with her brother Tommy in the murder and coverup. The original crime was sexual in nature, and therefore, Misty and Tommy will do anything to not take responsibility for it.
All, IMO.
I wanted to first say, Excellent post, epiphany! Your words above are alot of what I personally feel to be case{you just have a much better way with your words than I..so thanks for this well-thought out, understandable post above}.
First above Bolded in Red By me..ITA this is not our first go-around with this particular "story"..IMO it seems as tho this is Misty's "in between" go-to story..meaning that in-between giving versions of what happened that night that very much include family members..she has throughout these last 2+yrs gone back to this "story" intermittedly between the "family stories"..The basics stay the same.. Ron dealt drugs before she came along[or so she was told..lol..as if he wasn't dealing drugs while she was with him]..Ron got on the bad side[the chit list]of some big time dealers owing them money..and the end result was their taking Haleigh..So IMO nothing new there..
The next two sentences Both Bolded in Black By Me are the entire jist of it all..Meaning those two sentences are the reasons why Tommy and Misty cannot and will not ever be able to actually come clean about what really happened that night..They cannot do so WITHOUT IMPLICATING THEMSELVES IN THE MURDER.. Misty has attempted to do so[meaning she's attempted to tell just of Tommy's involvement]..laying all blame on him and leaving her involvement out..but the reason that cannot and will not "fly" and why she cannot pass a LDT about this version is because she too is very much involved in key elements of the murder and/or disposal..therefor it is only when she comes clean with her portion of involvement that she will be able to pass a LDT..
And then with Tommy placing himself at the trailer most importantly but furthermore placing himself at key places such as the disposal/murder[according to one version]..well..there is simply only one reason in this entire universe that a person would ever willingly..voluntarily place himself somewhere such as this..he is 100% involved
And then last sentence Bolded in Bright Red is absolutely dead-on IMO
Over the course of this case..especially within these past 12mos specifically I have on several occassions posted about my belief of why we have not gotten to the truth and how that we may never get to it becasue the two key players involved are Misty and Tommy and as has already been attempted[by Misty herself]one cannot implicate and place blame on the other with the necessary proof needed in order for it to be pursued[as in passing a poly on what she claims to be the events of that night]..she has failed in doing so..and that is because one cannot implicate the other without directly implicating themselves..and until we see one of them decide to do so[at which time its my belief that if then polyed that with the inclusion of their own personal involvement in the crimes against Haleigh that they would pass the LDT]..which would equal forward movement toward justice for Haleigh!!
Sadly I believe that will only happen with a death bed confession..and in my previous posts I have detailed that they would have to be 100% positive that were indeed about to die in the very extreme near future in order for them to even think of having such type of a confession as to their involvement..
For the time being they are two siblings serving out what to some seem like too heavy of drug sentences[so actually receiving pity from some as if they were somehow wrongly OVER-sentenced JUST BECAUSE OF THE MISFORTUNE OF BEING "LOOSELY" TIED TO A LITTLE GIRL THAT'S MISSING!!<- Hogwash, I say!! They are the reason she is MISSING!!
But back to their just being lowly drug sentence servers..that have a big, bright light at the end of their tunnel[that's getting brighter with each passing day of their drug sentence].. They can easily "deal with" the dark, dingy jailhouse surroundings knowing that the light is getting brighter and closer to their one day walking free, again...
So, what happens when one of them decides to grow a conscience and tell the truth of the events that happened that night roughly between 9pm of February 9, 2009 and 3am of February 10, 2009?? The big, bright light is suddenly and permanently GONE FOREVER!!!!!!
THE LIGHT OF THEIR ONE DAY BEING FREE TO WALK THE SIDEWALKS, EAT CHEESEBURGERS FROM MICKEY D'S, AND SMOKE THE CHIT OUTTA MARLBORO REDS IS SNUFFED OUT PERMANENTLY AND THEY ARE LEFT TO LIVE OUT THEIR ENTIRE HUMAN LIVES HERE ON THIS EARTH IN THAT DARK, DINGY HELL HOLE OF A JAILHOUSE..NO MORE TO EVEN HAVE THE FEW THAT PITIED THEM FOR THEIR OVER-SENTENCING ON DRUG CHARGES..THAT TOO IS REPLACED WITH THE LABEL OF CHILD MURDERER[with which I would think would come with many that would have the least bit amount of pity for them, then]..
So, you see they have absolutely NOTHING TO GAIN..ZERO!!!But yet they infact HAVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO LOSE..AND I DO MEAN EVERYTHING!!
This is why we will not see either of them tell the truth of what really happened.the whole truth including their personal involvement..what would they possibly have to gain from it??..and it is definitely MOO that these two ain't about to do anything just for "the good of it"..the only way would be for their own personal gain..and here we have absolutely zero that either could gain from it...only lose..
Sorry to have been so lohg winded..I just feel strongly that these two are the key players of the events that happened to this precious, innocent child that here, 2+ years later it seems as tho no one is even one step closer to finding..tragic beyond words..
