I'm glad you brought up the call between Ron and Tommy, because I have an idea. If you remember, Tommy claimed that Ron asked him to go to the trailer. Ron, through his lawyer, denied that. He claimed that he only asked Tommy if Misty was there with him. The fact that Ron spoke through his attorney, IMO, says that Ron meant business. Also, as far as I know, Tommy never disputed this. Anyway, I've always been bugged by the significance. What I think is this...maybe Ron knew Misty wasn't home and was simply trying to find her. How could he have known this? maybe his work hours weren't what he said. Maybe he went in later or took a break and went by the trailer. KP said he wasn't upfront about his hours. Anyway, I see a couple of implications here. #1, Ron knew the kids were alone, and #2, he didn't want to be associated with sending Tommy to the trailer. There are a lot of reasonable theories out there, naming different perps, but there are several reasons I think Misty might not have been home that night. Really, this idea doesn't exonerate anybody, except Misty. just an idea and JMO, but once the idea got a hold of me that Ron knew Misty wasn't home and the kids were alone, it wouldn't let go.JMO.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad you brought this point up again, Dodie. It is one we don't need to forget. I agree with you. I believe RC knew, or at least suspected that , because Misty wouldn't answer her phone, that she wasn't home. I have fealt all along that she wasn't there. I'm also not totally convinced that the kids were there either. As others have said, I honestly feel that the crime happened at the home of Hank Sr and Lisa, and that home, as far as we know, was never looked at. My onter theory (one of them) is that Ron did something to Haleigh right after she got off the bus, but not at his trailer. The family was all to ready to walk us through the trailer and show us everything in the beginning. They knew there would be no evidence found there. They also have too anxious to establish that as the scene of the incident. I really believe it happened somewhere else. JMO
