MADJGNLAW, people have asked this question 100 different ways, obviously hoping that one way they ask it will be the one that gets the response. The answer is, they obviously don’t have enough to hold them. You seem to want them arrested so they can get back out by dinner, is that it? As much as we want there to be a break in this case, you can’t simply create evidence where there isn’t any. If you arrest Misty for her drugs, you have to arrest Crystal for hers. If you arrest Misty for child endangerment (even though there’s no evidence of that), you also have to arrest Crystal for child endangerment (that’s what they call it when you drive your children around with no license, and an undiagnosed seizure disorder, child endangerment. If you’re truly concerned for Haleigh and Jr., expand you mind a bit and look at everyone who failed her.

No, Ron said he drove Haleigh home on his lap and let her drive…whether he did or not, no witnesses back him up that day. Re Misty, companions were family and friends. My witnesses did not see Ron.

Why are these people not prosecuted at least for their drug crimes and child endangerment until they get to the bottom of the real crime? If I had done the things these people have done it would not just be a matter of discussion, I would be in jail and my remaining child removed to safety. Is it because Ron,s mom works for the sheriff’s department that they seem to be getting a free pass?

Also, I don’t understand why all the media organizations dropped the case and are ignoring it. I understand that there may be no “new” news, but that didn’t stop people like Nancy Grace reporting the same “breaking news” month after month in the Anthony case until Caylee was found.
I can readily see that most of this little girl’s family is pathetic, involved in criminal activity and live a disgusting life style, but that doesn’t change the fact that someone has committed a terrible crime against this child and she is still missing. Hayleigh certainly deserves that justice be done and her abduction not just swept under a carpet of corruption.

There are alot of factors that go into what shows put on…Is it news? New? Current…t? A new missing child to capture the nation’s heart strings? Is it a story with twists and turns to report, a suspect, a smoking gun? With Haleigh, there are a couple of people police believe know more than they are sharing, and we now who they are…Is that news? Sadly, not in this world we live in and watch on TV. Networks and shows would die in the ratings game covering a “no news” story…As you so aptly observed, the Anthony’s had the missing child of a wild child mother on the right side of the tracks, with rich friends, who was telling lots of different stories.
You have parents who are always pushing the media envelope, who retain media hungry PIs who bail out suspects, now with a suspect charged with murder. You have jailhouse tapes, lurid behaviour caught on film, and now a strategy of defense and prosecution that is a formula for media interest a la OJ.

Drama makes television, and in Satsuma, sadly there’s not much drama around the investigation, just sideshows, which don’t make waves, just ripples in a blog world, where people create–and treat –rumors as news, getting jollies by inciting a small handful. With no place to go, they then turn on each other and argue over opinions without facts. BS draws little major media attention, but can create a vacuum where the passion of good people hungry for clues can be hoodwinked by nobodies yearning to be somebody, screaming they’ve go the scoop, but have nothing…Fools rushing in.

But guess “The Marlboro Man” died of lung cancer and too, many caught on to ‘that trend’…literally.
