Ronald proposes to Misty #2 UPDATE: Wedding planned for 03-12-09

[cuppy199]

She keeps using the past tense. I believe LE looks for slip ups like that. I also believe a good number of people on this forum jumped on the attorney tonight when she used the past tense, although she was referring to a medical situation Haleigh previously had.

Yes I believe they do but there is only one problem with that alot of people talk in past tense. They have to have more to go on then just her speech

I think to disrupt what Rj has known his entire life (which is being with his father and grandmother) during what is now the most traumatic event of his life is wrong on so many levels. Let's see how many ways can you jack up a child mentally after his sister goes missing and he is left as a witness? Oh, yes...add to it by taking him completely away from either parent and the other family members who love him to put him with strangers! Great idea?! Seriously! WTH?!

ITA with you on that Seriously Searching. All the way around it is a very sad situation for Rj. I don't think that Rj sees Crystal as a stranger though - nonetheless both RC and Crystal need to put their children first and cut out the sideliners name calling. (family members, girlfriends, boyfriends,...insulting RC or CS) MOO

 

[Littleone48]

According to the marriage license, the Griffis' were married 1/6/02. CS was a teenager, I think this was around the time she hooked up with Ron. Chad would have been 22. I don't know how old he was when he got married.

Wouldn't Chad had lived with his mom? I don't know, to the world it seems wrong but at least they are not related.

On a lighter note: I WOULD die if my daughter married my step-son...and what happens if any of them get divorced? Who would get invited to the family reunion? How do they explain that to the kids? This is your real grandpa and your real grandma but he isn't my real dad...oh my...

Make sure he knows what being abducted or kidnapped feels like, too!

Uh oh, gotta go back & catch up. I haven't agreed with you much on this case but (big one) on this point I'm with you 100%.
He's already suffered enough.
I would personally rather see Crystal get custody with RC having liberal visitaion, however (not that it matters) shared custody is ok with me. I think Crystal needs to see her kids more. She might have distanced herself from them to some degree in order to protect herself. Hearing all the comments about Haleigh wanting Misty to be her new mommy made my heart ache for Crystal. I would feel like I was being displaced and forced out of my children's lives. Having equal time with both parents is IMO what's best for the children whenever possible.
I can't imagine

 

[JaneInOz]

I will try to explain my reasons. From what I have read, heard from Crystal herself and their neighbor, Misty adored those kids. She took good care of them, played with them and by all of the above accounts she cared for them deeply.

We do not know what Misty has told LE however I do think she would've broken down by now if she was involved at all.

It may be a family member but I don't think for the reasons other people do. I think it was sexually motivated, period. If this is the case, I don't think the family knows anything about this persons deep rooted evil. They do tend to hide it well.

An unknown SO. There are so many in that area they could've been watching her since she moved in. A great oppurtunity happened when Ron went on nights. A young girl home alone with 2 young children. He could've been looking in the window many times getting their schedule, seeing the layout of the home. It wouldn't be that hard. I can name another case where the perp had never been in the house before but he managed to navigate to the little girls bedroom, leave no DNA and leave through a locked alarm door. Go figure. This, is what I think happened.

Bold mine but you know , these were the accounts given about Casey too..

Lots of videos and photos and people and friends saying that she adored Caylee and was with her - and she was her mother.

In regards to the speculation you have there about the SO well he was taking a risk considering there were supposedly other people there that night

I probably would too. Not sticking up for her however I really think it's just bad grammer or not thinking. Just like the lawyer tonight on NG, to me no big deal because I honestly don't think that anyone of these people want to think that Haleigh is no longer with us.

Not at 3am he wasn't. As I said in my post, he was watching, he knew who was there, he knew they were sleeping and where. It really isn't that hard to peer through a window and watch.

I wonder if they have a chair or anything under windows. I wonder if in the past few weeks Misty ever got the feeling that someone was watching her or if she heard strange noises in the night. You don't think much about it at the time.

I also wonder if this is why she woke up but just doesn't realize it. It happens all the time....but yet for many it's sinsiter..for me, it's a clue.

 

[Littleone48]

Forgot to add, Misty is NOT Casey and from the little bit I know about that case, NOT everyone said that.

Oh yeah, the tracks aren't even at the same station!

lol that was funny

 

[Littleone48]

lol that was funny

Just one more off topic. Ladies/Gentlemen, I think we had a great conversation going here. Some good ideas. Let's post them in "What do you think Happened to Haleigh" thread.

 

[Seahorseladydi]

SHESH! I just can't see how they can do this while Haleigh is out there somewhere!!!!!!!!

They are NOT doing this FOR Haleigh..... or they would wait for her to come home smiling and happy.....

What's next with these two??? Next headline Misti is pregnate! OMG>....... please no no no!

This is JUST MY OPINION however.....

 

[harleysnana]

Legally, she has no job. How will she provide? I'm just trying to look at it from an unemotional vantage point in that I do have opinons of both parents. In my opinion, one is not better than the other.

I don't like any of them...p-e-r-i-o-d. I reserve all my strong emotions for Haleigh.

As always just my opinion

Not to mention that she is WAY behind in child support
and IMO has not done her part of taking care of her kids financially!

And WHY now? IF she was so worried about her children being with
Ron and Misty... why not do something BEFORE NOW?

I"m sorry but I don't see how a parent can be so far behind on child support
and then claim NOW they want to take care of them.
I don't see how if she was so worried about Misty's age she couldn't do something before now.
I don't see how if she is so afraid of Ron that she would go on National TV
and say the thing she did about him and possibly anger the man who she claims she is afraid of!
I don't see how she can claim she is the better parent and should have custody.
She put her son in danger by putting him on TV and told how he "saw man in black take his sister"
Why now... why does she care now and not before... if Ron was
so dangerous, Misty was so young, if she felt she was the better parent...WHY did she not do this before?

I think it's for appearances!
Sorry!
Don't think she should get custody!
IF she was so worried about them should have fought for them before now!
JMO

I know some are going to say that it's because Haleigh is missing while Ron
had custody... I still don't buy it and IF that is the case it's really sad that
she had to wait for something that big to happen before she started to care!

Wedding is tomorrow...

I just read this now. You have got to be kidding!:sick:

 

[snookie]

snookie, I agree with your post. I, too, believe that Roanld is putting himself and his child bride first. What lawyer would advise him to go ahead with a wedding at this juncture? I do not know of one. IMO, this rushed wedding is not going to make he or Misty look any better in the public eye, and certainly not mine!

It doesn't make sense AT ALL. It's mindblowing!!

Here's the thing that bothers me. Do you really believe RC supports the ***** the lost "his heart?"

Kinda suspicious, isn't it?

Custody Battle: Isn't Crystal jumping the gun too fast? Her daughter is missing and she is announcing that she wants custody? This makes about as much sense as Ron and Misty getting married so quickly. I am hoping that Ron and Crystal can come to some sort of agreement so they do not disrupt Jr's and Haleigh's normal lives. She could've done this much sooner than this but never did. Now she has a GREAT PR person and a GREAT LAWYER. I know the PR woman is doing it for free but is the lawyer also?

(my bold)

Actually Crystal wanting custody of Junior makes perfect sense to me!

She's already lost Haleigh, and doesn't want to chance losing another one.

Everyone says follow the money...well I am following the money and it doesn't look good for Crystal.

Everyone is also saying that Misty even if she isn't involved with Haleigh missing is still responsible. What if you had a 17 year old babysitting your children and this happened? Would it still be their fault? I have talked with Player at length and he said both of them were good with those kids! Heck, wonder if it happened to you?

(my bold)

Well, I can tell you one thing..... their babysitting days would be OVER with me!! :furious:

I think that instead of these people getting married, obtaining PR people and lawyers they should take a step back and do what's right for Haleigh. I never have trusted anyone who obtains a PR person simply because they are TOLD what to say, HOW to act, and WHAT to do. In other words, you will not see Crystal in the true form that she has been seen in. I can only hope that this PR person and lawyer tell Crystal's mom to butt out. Sorry, I just don't like the lady! I have other thoughts on her but won't post them as of yet...if you want to see someone with dollar signs just take a long hard look at her. IMO

These 2 need to grow up and handle this like adults! Leave the girlfriend out of it, leave the moms out of it. Stand together and be united for when Haleigh comes home.

Chad I have no idea what he does but I have a feeling he is on the computer very often. IMO

(my bold)

But the girlfriend was the last one to see little Haleigh!

Do all couples whose children are missing, when only one parent was around at the time the child goes missing feels like the other person lost their child or do they feel like someone committed a crime and the party that was with the child is a not responsible. IMO it is so wrong to say that Misty lost Haleigh, we do not know what happened. When the case is solved then we can say Misty harmed Haleigh, Misty was negligent and left the children alone, or Misty is a victim herself of a horrible crime that was committed against Haleigh.

I pray I never have to know what it's like, but I can imagine that if something happened to one of my kids while in my ex's care it'd be hard for me to be too understanding. Even if it wasn't his fault, the mama bear in me would never let him live it down.

Maybe it's not right, but I'm just trying to be honest.

Why compare this case to the A's. They are nothing alike. Unless you know something from LE I dont?

Well, I was just trying to make a little funny (lame, I know), but now that you've mentioned it.... how are the cases "nothing" alike? I can think of several similarities.

Back on topic now......

But see, IMO, he has to care. He needs the public to keep looking for Haleigh. The public perception is fickle - if they don't think he's sincere, they may lose interest. Fair, or unfair, he needs to be careful about he says and/or does. He needs advice and he needs to follow it. I never thought I would say this, but I wish they had both had gotten professionals to help them through this.

Couldn't agree with you more, Shaymus.

[/b]

I have posted this over and over again..I just wish people would stop comparing this case with that other one. It is a totally different case, totally different people. It's unfair to Haleigh. IMO

Actually people keep blaming the wedding on Misty however it was RON that asked her, not the other way around. She has adults around her, they are the ones that should've, could've said NO.

I agree that the courts need to take a look at both parents. I really think they are a few fries short in their happy meal...

I totally agree with both bolded (by me) points! :highfive:

thats all we do know is all of the things Misty says happened that night,if you know more from LE that I dont I would love to know how you have cleared Misty in your mind, if you have. I would love to get past the point of thinking Misty is my POI. JMOO TYIA

Exactly! Misty was the LAST person to see little Haleigh.

Couldn't agree more but unfortunately it's unlikely - seems to me both RC & CS are questionable parents and personally I don't see a great deal of difference between either in terms of their parenting skills...I think that the court will give joint custody - not sure yet on residency issue yet - depends on what/if evidence comes out that points toward RC and/or MC's guilt or involvement in Haleigh's disappearance - if it turns out that they're not involved, both RC and CS will be closely supervised by DCF. MOO

Yeah, it's so sad for the kids. I hope to goodness that DFACS does keep close tabs on whoever these babies end up living with.

 

[snookie]

The age difference between Ron and Misty is no big deal IMO. Many posters have stated on here that back in the day it was the norm and was not frowned upon. Heck if it was, I would not be married to the wonderful man that I am. Men tend to more immature than woman IMO.

With all due respect..... I'm a mother, and I would totally flip out if my 16 year old daughter shacked up with a man with 2 kids in his mid-20s!!

I'd be beatin somebody's A**, that's for sure.

Stepbrother: Depending on how old they were when their parents met I really see no big deal there either. You can't help who you fall in love with, it just happens. It's not like they are brother and sister by any means. Or
1st cousin. They are not related in any way!

Totally agree.

she is my POI. What amazes me is every post I post about rc or Misty gets attacked, yet when I beg those who attack to PLEASE tell me what has made them think this is a STRANGER abduction other than Misty saying so, no one answers. Believe me I would love to think outside the box, but I keep missing these clues or evidence of forced entry or any kind of abduction. How have these people (IN their MINDS only) cleared Misty. HELP me out here....

Well, I would say it's her big beautiful blue eyes..... if only she could hold em open. :crazy:

Seriously though, I'm with you on this! It's hard for me to understand why so many folks aren't more suspicious of her. Although I certainly respect everyones' opinion.

I am probably just not wording it right. I think Ron wants people to know he does not blame Misty and they are united as a couple. I do not think Ron cares if people agree with his decision to do so, or cares about all the nasty rumors. Kind of like I am gonna show the world that I love, believe, and trust Misty, but you do not have to like it. Hope that helps, sometimes I struggle with getting things worded properly.

I truly hope he is being genuine, that he wants to marry her because he really loves her.

Can't get past the stinkiness of it though..... something ain't right.

JMO

I totally agree with you. My fear is that people believe all the mudslinging that ocurred and will stop looking for Haleigh and just go with the Ron and Misty have done something to Haleigh. This needs to get back to focus on Haleigh, not sure that is going to happen.

After all I've heard, I feel even more sorry for Haleigh than ever.

I'd like to think most people are kind and caring enough to not stop looking for Haleigh just because her family's a lil' screwed up. All families have at least some mess going on.

What her family does (has done) has no bearing on the value of this precious innocent girl. Hurts my heart to know another day has passed with no sign of her.


Hope they enjoy their wedding day tomorrow.....

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Is anyone else surprised at how soon the wedding is?

I don't understand them getting engaged at this time, no matter what excuses they make. However, most times, don't people get engaged then plan a wedding for a few months to a few years later?

I just don't understand what the rush to get married is. And, if what Misty is saying is true about the whole "we're doing this for Haleigh" thing..why wouldn't they get engaged then wait until Haleigh comes home and have the wedding? What is the rush to get married NOW? I don't understand..
