Why? Why spend $$$$$$ going to GA, TN, KY, interviewing and/or re-interviewing XXXXX amount of people, spending additional $$$$$$ on poly's or VSA tests . . . when, for six months (6 long months that HaLeigh's been missing!) LE, although closed-mouthed about alot in this case has at least made one thing emphatically clear for six months - they need to talk to Misty! Misty is the key, Misty is the holder of the information that they seek, Misty has contradictions and gaps in her story, Misty knows what happened . . .
No price can be put on the life of a child but dear GIH, unnecessarily using LE's resources & funds takes away much-needed funds for other investigations. . . other missing children cases.
God forbid but what if another child was reported missing in Putnam County tomorrow or the surrounding area, whether due to an adbuction or a disabled child who wandered off on their own. As a parent you want every available resource to help find your child - the services provided by local LE agencies and surrounding LE agencies including organizations such as search & rescue services like Tim Miller provides, are not free. (and they're not even cheap) These services are costly and these resources have to be allocated based on several factors but the dominant factor is cost-effectiveness & efficiency.
IMO, LE has stated where their resources would be effectively used - would provide the best opportunity for locating HaLeigh and bringing this case to a conclusion and that is re-interviewing Misty. JMP
