Teresa N., Haleigh's paternal grandmother

[Pondering Mind]

You sure are entitled to your opinion. Even when it is followed by little angry faces at the end of it.

Whether or not I know Teresa is irrelevant. I am not making any 'claims' whatsoever. Everything I post here is simply my opinion.

No one from EITHER side of the family is really speaking to the media asking for HaLeigh's return. The last people we saw speak to the media were Ron and Teresa when they gave an interview to a Jacksonville station in May asking for HaLeigh's return. IMO, it makes sense that LE has asked the families not to speak to the media. LE has been tightlipped this entire case. They obviously do not want information being released. It is not farfetched, IMO, that they don't want the families speaking to the media.

That said, I still would like to see the family speaking out on behalf of HaLeigh. I think Teresa would make a wonderful spokesperson for the family. She is well spoken, and a caring grandmother. IMO.

lol, that 'angry face' is a tsk tsk. Since this is the TN thread, I was not going to bring up any tit for tat issues. Fact is though MG is on the internet pleading for info on HaLeigh. Whether you agree with her method or not, at least she isn't (hiding, IMO) behind the scenes as you believe TN is, going about doing whatever it is you say she is doing 'quietly'. Have a good night atherella...carry on in your forum.

Isn't it obvious that Misty has been treated as a suspect/POI even if they have not named her as such? Dragging her in for questioning time after time indicates they do "suspect" her, imo. It is understandable, but if they cannot find any reason to arrest her after this period of time and all of the interrogations she has endured...maybe it is time to clear her and move on with the investigation.

Teresa has stated she has only been asked to take one polygraph and the questioning was what she would consider to be normal. It doesn't sound like they have treated her like they believe her to be involved other than she is the grandparent and had access to Haleigh. Time for them to clear her, imo.

I agree that Misty very likely is considered a suspect because she was the last one to see her and she has failed to tell the truth consistently. I'm not sure if the lack of arrests means anything at this point because without having found Haleigh they possibly couldn't make any charges stick because there is always reasonable doubt.

I hope people would start to get cleared but I'm not sure it will happen. In many cases no one is cleared except by inference when they charge someone else.

Isn't this the reason for the round table discussions?

They probably didn't have much to discuss, I don't think they know anything.

If I were a betting person (which I am)...I would bet they are telling the Cummings family much more than the other side due to the fact they are not talking to the media about what is happening behind the scenes.

Glad you brought that up about Marie, Flossie! I do recall her saying that as she was on camera doing exactly what she said they asked her not to do. I would have to assume they either asked the Cummings family to do the same or perhaps they didn't need to ask them because they simply aren't doing it!

They have to know some things. By now the results should be back on testing (if they actually did it this time). They have conducted tons of interviews to review. Any evidence they did collect can be discussed. They have phone records, work records, and all other records to go over. They have hours of network interviews. I can think of many things for them to discuss and to reconsider. Starting over with what they have amassed to date and taking off their blinders will turn this case towards the right direction.

Maybe they will be able to clear Teresa first. It would be a great thing to see happen. It is time they let these people out from under that umbrella.

It was my impression they stopped talking to media because they didn't like everything that was being written and got defensive, and because the attorneys advised them to shut up and took over with their press releases. I don't think LE would be okay with some of the attorneys press releases discussing the case on behalf of the Cummings family if they had asked the Cummings family not to discuss the case.

If LE is in constant contact with the Cummings family and reveals them all about the case, I wonder why it was implied that LE has had trouble scheduling appointments with RC to talk about the case at all.

That is true, they did taper it off due to Geraldo and Cobra plus after getting the attorney which makes my point that LE probably didn't need to ask them not to talk to the media because they weren't doing it.

If you compare what KP has done in the media to what statements have been issued by Ronald's attorneys' press releases and the one time video of Ronald...it is obvious who is showing great restraint. Teresa doesn't have an attorney that I am aware of and could come out in the media when she decides it is the right thing.

It is between Ronald's attorney and LE to hold meetings. We do not know this has not been done since LE mentioned it...when was that? What...two months or so ago? We have the attorney stating they are communicating with LE. Even KP stated that LE was only talking to the two parents much of the time about the case. This indicates it is a fact that LE is talking to Ronald. It is MY OPINION, they are telling him more than they are telling her.

I believe Ronald is cooperating, I also believe once HaLeigh is home safe with her Daddy that all of the nasty behavior online WILL be addressed. No, won't name a source, but YES will admit I saw the email to Ron's lawyers with my own eyes.

Very good to know, Flossie!

I wish TN would. It would be helpful to have new information from any source, and reassuring if TN or anybody could confirm that LE are still getting forward with the case.

I don't agree with all that KP has said in public, the world could have done without airing the dirty laundry concerning Jr's welfare and DCF investigations are best conducted privately. But as far as I know, she has stopped short of publishing a press release accusing Ronald or any other people of doing away with Haleigh.

TJ Hart has a new article and it says there was no 2nd round table discussion. I don't know we are able to link to his site here.

People who are on televison every night and all over the internet don't need to send out press releases.

Were we watching the same interviews from KP?! She didn't stop short of the accusations against the Cummings family including Misty...IMO.

I put TJ in the same category as AH. His "sources" are basically one in the same so it is difficult for me to take him seriously anymore either.

That's true. I thought he said a couple of days ago there was one and we would find out shortly what was said. Guess his source was wrong,LOL.

Imagine that?! I guess his twittering was twicked again! LOL

I wonder if LE will come right out and let us know like they have in the past? Surely there are reporters from the major local news outlets who are following up with the task force.

Teresa has played no part in this case except to be a loving grandmother who dearly wants Haleigh home. She has done nothing wrong in any way that I have ever heard or seen. She is not a suspect. She has not been treated as a suspect because they see no reason to do so.

=========
Unless you have been with Teresa every minute, every day I don't understand how you can offer a testimonial on her. We don't know anything right now about her personally, unless you really know her and have been with her as I mentioned above. For example: Thelma Barfield, woman executed in North Carolina for murdering five people. Long considered a fine, trustworthly woman in the church. She babysitted for my sister's two little girls and one with my own little girl. Cared for sick people in the church. Brought food to the home when my brother-in-law was recovering from cancer treatment. Everyone just loved her. Never once thought she could hurt a fly. It was a complete total shock to everyone when she was charged with five murders, found guilty and put to death. I do not ever assume that someone is innocent just because they portray themselves as being innocent and caring and could be an example of the perfect grandmother.................

 

[lonetraveler]

I don't think there is any "IF" they botched the case, I think they did botch this case. I think that everyone that is not a POI needs to be publicly cleared. I have loss all faith in PCSO ever solving this case, I hope they prove me wrong but I doubt they do.

-------------
I agree with you on that note. I also think that LE botched this case and we may never know what happened to Haleigh.

This is stated as being MY impression of her from what I have seen and heard in the media (along with the rest of America).:

There are always going to be cases where a trusted person by many are going to disappoint and shock them when it comes to murder or other abuses. Being too close to any situation people miss signs of trouble or they tend to overlook them if they do see them.

Luckily, I am able to observe her reactions, her words, and other things to make my own evaluation of Teresa without being blinded by knowing her personally. These are my opinions of her and I trust my own judgements.

If there comes a day where there is evidence of wrongdoing from Teresa or Ronald when it comes to the disappearance of Haleigh, I will be sadly disappointed and admit my judgements were woefully inaccurate. Until then, I will just call them the way I see them.

We see the same things, but some are able to look more objectively. The difference lies therein.

How can anyone judge my objectivity? Do they know how I go about making such judgements or how I determine one person is believable over another?

When this case began, I did not know any of the people involved. I watched, studied, listened, read, and reviewed twice all of the information before deciding who to trust in this case.
