Starting today, I will be conducting an extensive aquatic search for Haleigh in the waters surrounding and downriver of the Seven Sisters Boat Ramp which is now on private property. The owner has graciously given me full access as needed to launch watercraft at this ramp to conduct the search.
After an extensive review of the case, I have determined the most probable theory to what happed to Haleigh is that she died of an overdose while in Misty's care and that she panicked and took Haleigh to the Seven Sister Boat Ramp and dumped her in the river. This theory is backed up by the Bloodhounds that tracked Haleigh to the boat ramp the morning she was reported missing. This is also The most probable theory of events put forth by the Putnam County Sheriff Departments Lead Detective at the time of Haleigh's disappearance John Merchant and and the Florida States Attorney Investigator Robert Hardwick as disclosed in an interview last year with Nancy Grace.
This theory fits within the principle of Occam's Razor that states the simplest explanation with the fewest assumptions should be preferred between competing hypotheses. I have found this to be true in almost every case I have helped solve.
I know that the waters surrounding the boat ramp and the docks/shoreline downstream were extensively searched by divers. Sonar systems in 2009 were very rudimentary compared to today's technology. I have also looked at recent depth charts that may not have been available and have concluded that Haleigh may have ended up outside their search area. In the graphic below, you can see a downward sloping trench that leads from the boat ramp to a deep hole in the river over 800ft away.
It's obvious that the bottom currents of the river have formed this slope and hole.
It is my intention to map this area with sonar and to search the slope and hole with underwater Remotely Operated Vehicles ROVs and specialized camera systems with IR lighting. This will be a long multi day/week search. I will post updates to this thread.
