I know someone who was in a similar situation, not a missing child, but a drug murder. A man confessed and was sent to prison, but a cop told me to my face that they never believed him, but didn't have the proof to get the woman they felt was responsible. The lady and her son both told me what 'really' happened. Reasons change, details change, and the story never stays the same, but they all know who actually did what. You'd be surprised at how much these people talk amongst themselves. If Tommy's the perp, (and he IS the only named suspect), his mother would never, IMO, help send him to the death penalty. I've never seen anything but devotion towards him. Also, it has been reported that Misty called her mom before calling 911. If Misty's the perp, she could take that reported immunity offer and not be in any more trouble than she is right now... & help Tommy in the process. But if Tommy's the perp, the immunity wouldn't do anybody much good. Misty would still be serving her drug sentence and Tommy would be looking at the death penalty. MOO
