I'm not gonna call Chelsea a liar on some of this, because there would be no reason to lie, but Misty could've gone back to Ronald the night before, & hidden it from Chelsea. & we're back to TN paying Misty & not the other way around. & now GGS has been added to that mix. I don't know what to make of the bus stop. Witnesses saw Misty, Ron claimed to go alone, & now Chelsea claims they were both there. so every possible scenario is covered. & Ron's work hours just got even more confusing. I'm not sure if I'm buying the blanket story. seems too pat. How do we know some old green blanket, is the infamous blanket?
Chelsea isn't claiming Ron and Misty were both at the bus stop, Misty is; yet during her LVA, Misty said she was at home with Junior who was asleep. Chelsea said she saw Ron and HaLeigh at the bus stop and although Misty told her later that evening she was there in the car, Chelsea doesn't know for a fact if Misty was telling the truth because she couldn't see inside the car, Misty didn't get out of the vehicle, and Ron never said Misty was with him when he picked up HaLeigh.
Chelsea said she saw Misty on Sunday before she went back to Ronald and she didn't approve of their relationship. Levi asked Chelsea if Ron spoke to Misty over the weekend and told her to bring a condom because Nay Nay said Ron spoke with Misty over the weekend
and Misty agreed to go back so if this is true Misty wasn't forced to go back by TN, AS, HaLeigh or Junior like she claims she was. Misty didn't want Nay Nay to drop her off at Ron's because Ron didn't like Nay Nay. All Chelsea said was there were condoms at Ron's house because she got one from there. So Misty hid the truth from Chelsea that she wanted to go back to Ron because she wanted to do as she pleased.
My opinion is Misty left her belongings in the blue van after Nay Nay dropped her off at her relatives because she didn't want Chelsea to know she was going back to Ron or she would have asked her to drive her over there so she could take her belongings back in the house. So Misty made an excuse to get out of the house
to hide the fact it was her and Ron's decision to be together.
MO is Misty told everyone TN, AS, HaLeigh and Junior coerced her into going back and even offered to pay her, to get Chelsea off her back because it gave Misty an excuse for disobeying her. Misty didn't like Chelsea interfering in her relationship with Ron and I doubt Ron did either which could explain why Ron picked HaLeigh up that day and ignored Chelsea. Ron wanted Misty to himself and Timmy and Chelsea were an obstacle for them. Rather than tell Chelsea to mind her own business and to let Misty go, Misty said she was manipulated and forced to go back by Ron’s family members. TN never said she paid Misty to babysit; she said Misty was back at Ronald's Sunday night and they were up all night talking. Misty said she was forced back to Ron's because it gave her an excuse so her family would not be mad at her.
We never knew Chelsea disapproved of her relationship with Ronald and tried to separate her from Ron until Chelsea gave this interview but we know Tim and Ron got into an argument because Ron wouldn't allow Misty to talk with them over the phone.

CHELSEA CROSLIN:
I mean I didn’t see Misty that day. So I hadn’t seen Misty since the day before when she wasn’t with Ronald so obviously that’s why she was hiding, she didn’t want us to see her with Ronald because she knew that we wouldn’t be happy about it. I wanted them to be broken up when they were. He wasn’t the right person for her and he was controlling her and he was hurting her and I wanted the best for her, I wanted her to get away from that bad situation. She goes home and then all of a sudden HaLeigh goes missing? It’s just a little fishy.
LEVI PAGE: Yeah, when you are talking about granny, you are talking about Annette Sykes.
Do you remember a conversation between Ron and Misty where Ron tells Misty to bring a condom home?
CHELSEA CROSLIN: I don’t know. As far as I remember Ronald was trying to get Misty pregnant, so I don’t know.
LEVI PAGE: He was trying to get her pregnant?
CHELSEA CROSLIN: Yes, they had pregnancy tests at their house and everything. That’s how I found out I was pregnant with my last baby. I didn’t want to get a pregnancy test and she went to their house and got one for me.
CHELSEA CROSLIN: Misty, okay Misty’s had a very hard life. We tried to give her the best we could, we tried to do the best we could for her but Misty wanted, she wanted her own. She at a young age wanted to start a family; she was starving for that love. I don’t know if anyone can understand that but she was just a little girl who had so much in her life going on and she was starved for love and Ronald was this man that came out of nowhere, sweeps her up on a pedestal, gave her the world, brought her shopping, you know she loved the kids and they would just all go do stuff like a family and he completely gave her everything she wanted and gave her a brand new car that purple Altima that everyone’s seen, that was Misty’s, that was given to her for her seventeenth birthday you know without a license you know he tried to do everything he could and then he would at the same time be abusive and controlling, mind abusive, physical, mental, everything and he would just have her so scared he slowly she slowly distanced herself from her family and we were very very close, I mean Misty was the little sister I always wanted and my best friend. I mean we confided in each other for everything and she wouldn’t even really talk to me after HaLeigh went missing, even before a little bit Ronald sometimes would come over and stuff but especially after HaLeigh went missing he pulled her so far from the family and he refused to let us talk like that incident with Ronald and my husband Tim having the phone harassment, that was just us calling asking if we could please speak to Misty and I would cry and say granny please I just want to make sure she’s okay, can I hear her say she’s okay? And they would not let me talk to her.
LEVI PAGE: Is that the same incident where Ronald called 911 because your husband Timmy called him ‘FAB’?
CHELSEA CROSLIN: Yes. Tim got mad because you know granny, I was like please and she started cussing’ at me and I was crying and I told Tim what had happened and he got mad and he called Ronald and Ronald didn’t answer his cell phone so he left a message on his answering machine and it was like look ‘FAB’, basically let me talk to my f’in sister, I have the right, make my sister call me and that was it and like within an hour we had phone calls from the Police saying we had phone harassment. Don’t call him again or you’re going to get in trouble and we never did. We never called again. We waited a couple of weeks and Misty would call and whisper when she had the chance. She would call for a few seconds even. If Ronald were to catch her she would hang up. And it would just be enough for her to call and let us know everything was going okay with her until she got arrested.
LEVI PAGE: And you know Donna Pendergast, you know that is interesting because we are talking about the isolation of Misty from her family I know that Crystal Sheffield the mother of HaLeigh Cummings said that Ron was very abusive and isolated her. He didn’t let her drive, he didn’t let her get a driver’s license and he isolated her from her family Donna.
DONNA PENDERGAST: Well you know Levi I have seen this over and over again, this is a real control thing and even before there was something to hide Ronald’s personality itself suggests he is a person who thinks he can control everybody and everything and he gets this much younger girl under his wing who is totally dependent on him and he is the boss, she does what he tells her to do.
