Misty's New Interview

[Chablis]

All I can say is this IF Haleigh did not go to school on the 9th of February, every LE officer assigned to investigating this case needs to be marched out of town straight into the G of M or the Atlantic Ocean..JMHO

I know, but I cant help but think this did happen that weekend. It explains Ron wanting everyone to be quiet about his gun incident with Joe, we know for sure Misty wasnt there that weekend, if Ron had those kids in his care when he was probably a wreck high as heck... all these stories about how she got to school, this shouldn't be such a conflicting statement, I always thought it was so weird they were lying about stuff when Haleigh was known alive, but maybe she really wasn't, I am starting to change my whole theory. jmo

 

[Donjeta]

Could anybody transcribe what she says about the bus? I would but I can't hear everything.

 

[Emeralgem]

Could anybody transcribe what she says about the bus? I would but I can't hear everything.

She said..."We put Haleigh on the bus. Um..We did everything we were supposed to do. Ronald brought Haleigh home. I cooked dinner, gave her a bath. We played then we laid down and went to sleep."

 

[Donjeta]

Thank you Em...

Anybody else think that "We did everything we were supposed to do." is an odd thing to say? It's reassuring but vague, and makes me think they did something they weren't supposed to.

And what were they supposed to do anyway? Earlier Misty said they didn't really do anything all day, just slept through most of it and laid around the house.

From hypnosis transcript:

OK.Um, _____ we got Haleigh ready for school and she didn't have anything that she wanted to wear, so Granny had some clothes that she wanted to wear, so we drove all the way over to Welatka to get the clothes she wanted to wear. Then we took her to school and I walked to her into school, walked her all the way to her classroom, then walked out back to, got in the car with Ronald and Jr. We went home and went back to sleep until about twelve. Got up, Ronald got up, got ready for work and got ready I don’t know what we did around the house, just laid around until Ronald had to go to work. Jr. played and then he took a nap. And it was time for Haleigh to pick up at the bus, so Ronald picked Haleigh up at the bus, I stayed at the house because Jr. was sleeping so Ronald couldn’t take him to the bus, so I stayed there.

I think the original story was going to be Haleigh disappeared from school, like the Kyron Horman story. There has to be a reason other than they were both so drugged up they didn't know what was going on and there are conflicting stories about how Haleigh got to school that day. I really believe the words of Tim Miller even more now, Things are not as they seem here.

Chamblis, I understand what you are saying but the conflicting stories about how Haleigh got to school are nothing but lies attempting to prove Ron C was a responsible parent.. However IF Haleigh was not at school that day LE has to have knoweldge of that being the case and IMO there is absolutely no good reason for LE to keep that information hidden from the public...Ron C has claimed he picked her up from the school bus, IF she wasn't in school LE should have arrested him on the spot for lying about picking her up IF she wasn't in school on that day..JMHO

LE is keeping a lot hidden from us. Have they confirmed for sure she was at school? I mean, him driving her to school or whatever does not indicate he was a great parent whatsoever, that was expected, he was the custodial parent, there is nothing abnormal about him getting her to school.

I fully realize LE is keeping alot under wraps and to my knowledge they have never confirmed she was at school that day.. However IF she wasn't in school that day LE would have to have information regarding that to be a fact and IMO there is absolutely no good reason under God's creation for LE to keep that a secret...They should have arrested Ron C immediately if not sooner, and thrown him under the jail for lying to them about picking up Haleigh from the bus stop...My stance is IF she was not in school LE knows it and they should all be fired on the spot....JMHO

ETA.. IF Haleigh wasn't in school LE has enabled Ron C and his lies as much IF not more so than his mother and his grandmother have enabled him...And IMO there is something terribly wrong going on with LE in Putnam County IF that is the case..JMHO

It's been a long time since I saw the school attendance report but it looked like she was probably in school, but potentially late. Actually, it looked like it had been altered on that date.

OT Started this awhile ago. My grandsons' aunt is at the end of her cancer battle -- the boys are here. Not sure how often I'll be on line the next couple of days.

 

[lonetraveler]

Seems to me this interview was edited quite alot.. Just wondering what else she may have talked about and also wondering WHY the interview was conducted in the first place..
One other thing is she NOW saying they put Haleigh on the bus to go to school on the 9th of February?

Yes, that is the very first thing that struck me. She stated that "We put Haleigh on the bus".

 

[Flossie JMO]

Le stated Ron picked HaLeigh up from the bus. Misty's comments are interesting as far as that morning, however, imo, she lies, and has forgotten her lies about this. JMO

 

[Donjeta]

So you think the original story about driving to Welaka was a lie, Flossie? Is this new story the truth or a new lie?

I don't remember ever hearing Ronald's version of Haleigh getting to school. Did he tell the truth or the same lie? If he told the truth and Misty lied about something for apparently no reason they must have confronted him with it, and yet he married and supported Misty...? I wonder if LE would have started their questionable timeline from the morning and not from Granny's visit if his version had differed from Misty's even though they were supposedly sharing the activities, according to Misty.

This case is a mess.

This case IS a mess and for every story, there's a counter story. Personally, I believe the bus stop witnesses and Jr and not much else. Misty's new version is just another variation of the same old lies. She's just trying to fine tune a few things, IMO.

I have never believed that RC/MC drove to Welaka so that Haleigh could wear the outfit she wanted. That is not the type of people (IMO) that RC/MC are. She would not be dictating to either one of them what she shoud wear, and they would drive miles out of their way to comply. Never happened!

It is just not possible that Haleigh was killed sometime over the weekend[when Misty was out on her bender] and in reality it's not possible that Haleigh was not in school on that Monday, February 9th.. First off falsifying a public school attendance record period there would be heads that rolled if it was found out and given especially the fact that particular school attendance record was going to subponeaed[if not willingly turned over]whoever would have been responsible for the falsifying of the documents head would have long since made it to the guillotine[given both teachers and administration of the school would very well have full knowledge if Haleigh had not been there yet a teacher/administrator had falsified her attendance record marking here present for attendance in school that Monday in question..it couldn't have been gotten away with].. It just simply didn't happen so therefor that is the number one reason I believe that she was in school that Monday and not able to have been killed over the weekend..

The other evidence that corroborates that Haleigh was in school that Monday was brought up just the other day on this thread[or maybe Timmy/Chelsea thread]..and that is the eyewitness accounts of the ppl that have no dog in this race whatsoever..so, they would have absolutely no reason in the world to lie and state that they saw Haleigh get picked up at the bus stop when she arived home after school on that Monday..

So, IMO the evidence is there that Haleigh was in school that day..Her being there for the absolute entire day[who knows]as with Ron driving like a bat outta hell and Misty stating she had to walk Haleigh into her classroom that day I have always thought it quite possible that she was tardy to school on that day..but definitely in attendance and obviously there for the majority of the day with her attendance being marked as present[I know in our school system you can checked in late to school and as long as the child is present for a specific amount of time thats decided by the district/as well governmental laws that require the child be present "X" amount of hours of a school day in order to be counted as present in attendance for the whole day's credit.. So IMO if there was a tardy it likely was not that late as she was indeed counted present and credited an entire day's attendance..

ETA: just want to add I am not being argumentative rather just listing a couple of details that IMO corroborate Haleigh's attendance in school that day..

That's what I tend to think too... If she was making trouble about a favorite outfit she'd probably just have been slapped. But I'm not sure if I believe she was in the bus in the morning like Misty says now in this interview either because it would have been a very silly lie, there were several people in the bus who could have said they saw her there so... So maybe they really drove to Welaka, or somewhere, taking Haleigh with them, but not for the previously stated reason...? Something to do with their drugs business or other illegal or otherwise suspicious things that could not be divulged? And now she's forgotten her lies...

"Funny" thing I think most of us here remember them almost by heart.

I don't think she has forgotten a thing. What it looks like to me, is that she was asked to explain some holes in her story, but instead of explaining the holes, she just took those parts out. Instead of explaining why they were racing by the bus stop & where they were going and for what...just say she put her on the bus. Instead of explaining why there was no verification of her walking Haleigh all the way to class...she just completely removed that part. After sticking to the same basic story for so long, why change it now? IMO, something's up...maybe with Ron's deal. MOO.

 

[azwriter]

Items in Misty’s interview which are different than earlier stories:

1.We put Haleigh on the bus (on the LVA, Ron drove like a maniac that morning because they had to go over to Grandma Sykes to get Haleigh’s favorite outfit, then Misty walked Haleigh to her classroom). So which story is true? This one would be real easy to answer if LE would share with us how Haleigh got to school that Monday morning.

2. She tried to call Ron more than twenty times and he wouldn’t answer (Ron’s statement was that he noticed Misty was calling him as he was pulling into the driveway so he didn’t answer it) I tend to believe Misty on this one. Ronald is lying in his answer, IMO.

3. When Ron got home, Ron didn’t look upset, he just looked like he was more messed up on drugs (first time this observation was stated by Misty) I can easily believe Misty on this statement. I have seen for myself that Ronald was under the influence of drugs as soon as he was shown on TV for the very first time and continued to be on drugs after that, IMO.

4. Twenty-three times she called him and he didn’t answer the phone (Misty stated something similar to her father on the jail videos, this is the first time that she stated the calls were after she found that Haleigh was gone) I tend to believe Misty on this statement. It is public knowledge that LE has the phone records so even Misty should know better than to lie now. What is interesting to me is that she is stating that the twenty-three calls were made after she found Haleigh missing.

5. Ron was dealing drugs before he met her and he owed money. This is an easy one, I believe Misty is telling the truth on this one, IMO.

6. In this story she and Ron were getting out of his truck at a biker’s bar at one of Ron’s relatives when a black man approached Ron and Ron told Misty to get back in the truck. Black man says that he knows where Haleigh is, that the Mexicans have her and if Ron pays this much money back, he will go get her and Ron will have her back on Friday. (in the earlier story, they were at a convenience store when the black man approached Ron) I think that the first time this story came out, the convenience store location was used in order to protect the family relative biker. This is probably the same family biker who held onto the assault rifle for Ron until he finally dropped it off to LE. However, I’m not so sure that this story is true. The fact that Misty states that she heard it from the black man makes me think that that part is a lie. If Misty did hear this story, I believe it came from Ronald.

7. The abuse that Ron gave Misty, Haleigh and Jr. (all during this case Misty and Ron and Ron’s family denied that Ron ever beat on the children or any women he was with) I believe Misty on this statement. I’ve always believed that Ronald was abusive to Misty and the children. I also believe he was abusive to Crystal as well.

8. He was always (meaning Ron)messed up on pills (Ron denied he was on drugs) IMO, Misty is telling the truth on this statement. Ron however, lied his head off on this subject.

9. He beat on the children and when Misty would take up for them, she would get beaten (Ron denied ever beating on the children or beating on a woman) I believe that Misty is telling the truth. Ronald is the liar on this one, IMO.

10. Ron introduced her to the pills (this was discussed on the jail videos between Misty and Hank Sr.) I believe that Misty is telling the truth on this statement. She has no history of drugs prior to meeting Ronald. She has stated that she smoked pot.

So, that is my summary of Misty’s statements on the interview. It is clear to me that while she is reciting the actions of that morning, she is lying her head off. Starting with putting Haleigh on the bus, doing what she was suppose to be doing, Ronald picking up Haleigh at the bus stop……yada, yada, yada. But as I noted above, there are some things that she is telling the truth about, IMO.

Thanks Lone for your summary. I've been waiting to read your take on her latest interview. I think you are one poster who appears to be very in tune with this case.
I agree Misty would lie, especially when it comes to saving her own skin. But now we see a tone where she's beginning to paint a different picture of Ron, one of drug abuse, physical abuse for the children and of her when she stands up for them, and his lying. This is something new and from my point of view almost encouraging. What else will time in prison led Misty to reveal in the future.
One thing I have come to believe as time passes, the trailer where they lived is not the crime scene. I think whatever happened to Haleigh happened elsewhere and before Ron went to work and that Misty was not present at the time. JMO

 

[Concerned Papa]

But Ron says he drove her, so who is lying? I wonder what the bus driver thinks of all this.

This issue has been a multiple choice situation from the beginning of the case. Ronald says he dropped her of at the bus stop, but, IIRC, was also a party to the "in a hurry to get to GGM's cause Haleigh wanted to wear a certain outfit" story. In her Hypnosis exam, Misty tells of their taking Haleigh to school and even walking her to her class. Now she's saying they dropped her off at the bus stop.

This snip contains Mr. Cummings' own words saying he dropped Haleigh at the bus stop, and Misty's words of walking her to class.

I would like to know who the interviewer was. I would like to know what questions were asked of Misty in this interview. I would like to know if we are seeing a complete interview or just a tiny snippet. I think this is just a snippet and as such we are not hearing all that Misty said. If that is the case, why bother releasing any of it? If Misty has something to say now, I would like to hear that in its entirety...not just a tiny portion of her statement.

Two things that jump out at me are: Now Misty says she gave Haleigh a bath, and now there were no pee blankets washed.

The blankets were a big issue for Misty before. And I have never heard her say she bathed Haleigh, nor has anyone else ever said it. Maybe everyone thought a bath was such a tiny detail that it was not worth mentioning but when I consider all the insignificant detail that Misty included in her initial stories...and kept in for subsequent tellings...why did she not initially say she had given Haleigh a bath?

Maybe a bath seems unimportant to the events of that evening, but what if it isn't? What if something happened to Haleigh in the bath???

GGS made a statement about Misty's parenting where she claimed Misty did Haleigh's hair up, rubbed her legs at night when she had painful cramps, fed the kids, bathed the kids, etc. But I never took that as GGS speaking of that evening in particular, it sounded to me more like a general list of things Misty was known to do for the kids. At no time did I interpret this as Misty gave Haleigh a bath that evening.

Also, in this interview either I am missing it or there is no statement of when Misty noticed the back door propped open. The back door was something Misty has never left out of any version before.

If this intereview was put out to the public in such an incomplete form that statements about the pee blankets and the back door were left out, I would like to know that because if Misty in fact left these things out of the current interview, it's huge to me. People can easily forget or mix up lies they have told; real events tend to stick in the memory.
