I respect your opinion Wescott, though I disagree. First of all, unless RC was involved himself, why in the world would he have supported the "b#&ch that let his daughter get stoled" knowing that she had failed her polygraphs? I feel sure if he so much as suspected Misty was responsible for HaLeigh being gone, he would have killed her (Misty) in a rage. The fact that he married her instead, and continues a relationship with her to this day, makes it clear to me(IMHO) that he's the one responsible for whatever happened to this precious child. I do believe Misty knows what happened, but don't think she is the one responsible. Nor do I think Tommy helped them in any way. IMO, if he had, Misty would never have ratted him out for other things the way she has, risking him turning on her and Ronald. And if he had done it without RC and MC's involvement, Misty would have long ago told LE (assuming she knew).
I sound like I'm stating facts, but of course, they are ONLY my opinions. We may find out that your thoughts about Ron not being responsible are absolutely correct and that my thoughts are totally wrong. Either way, I just pray the day comes that we know for sure what happened, and that justice is swift and HARSH for whoever is responsible. I still can't believe that here we are a year later, still looking for the answer.
