Ron is a step up for her. She probably thinks she has made it with him . Another thought. Why would Ron insist that she babysit after she was gone for 3 days screwing around with another guy? He seems like the jealous type and would not be so quick to forgive. I just cannot see her waltzing in after being gone and everything snaps back to normal as they would hasve us think. No he was trying to keep her under his thumb. She did say she did not have any friends. Why not?? I do believe her when she says she loves the kids and she would not harm them but if something did happen she will stick by Ron because he has it set up to make it look like she is the perpetrator and has her convinced she will go down. He is very calculating. Also we must realize the homelife Misty grew up with. Ron is a step up for her. She probably thinks she has made it with him . Another thought.

He should be watched very closley. Watch his body language it will tell you a lot and I think that Misty is doing whatever he asks her. He tested her lying to the police because he wanted to see if the lies she worked out with him hold up. Her story is very rehearsed and she takes clues from Ron when speaking. He married her because that is what she wanted to keep quiet. Notice his hand in his pocket during the ceremony. Also he has a suite and tie on for Nancy Grace but jeans and a T-shirt for his wedding. He stonewalls when Nancy asks him what Misty says about that night. He is the one that needs to be focused on. I think Misty is a pawn for Ron. I think that Ron is controlling Misty. He should be watched very closley.

However, sometimes it is hard to take when she asks a question of one of her guests and then jumps down their throat or demeans them if she doesn't agree with their answer(s). I like hearing new ideas and may not agree, but sometimes I hear things I hadn't considered before. Art's show would be a tremendous success I believe in part because of his patient, calm demeanor. I did hear Nancy tell the women on The View when they asked how she felt about having twins and she said, "Blessed". Well I think her twins are just as blessed to have a mother like her. Her face beams with motherhood. But one more episode of her mock "crying" where she makes that shrill noise and puts her hands in front of her eyes - it's like fingers on a chalkboard to me. I do realize she is a crime victim herself and appreciate her advocacy for the victims. Some questions I have about the Haleigh Cummings case that haven't been answered to my satisfaction: 1) Were they or were they not out of laundry detergent? While it may sound simplistic, Misty said she was doing laundry because Haleigh had urinated on her bedding. Ron said they were out of laundry detergent. It certainly doesn't mean she is lying about the alleged kidnapping, but if Misty would lie about something as simple as doing laundry, what other lies has she told? 2) Why would Ron act the way he did towards Misty during the 911 call i.e. something to the effect of "I can't believe you let them steal my daughter, bitch"? I realize in a situation this stressful and horrifying, one does not know how one would react until they are actually in that situation, but I am wondering if this statement shouldn't be looked at closer. While everyone has heard it, no one seems to comment on it. If I were Misty I certainly wouldn't marry someone who treated me this way after I cared for their children. 3) Why was Misty outside waiting for Ron when he got home? I can say for sure on this one I would have already called 911 and then had them stay on the line with me because the suspect could have still been nearby! I certainly wouldn't have gone outside without some sort of weapon. The suspect could have still be hiding somewhere in that trailer! 4) Not to add insult to injury, but will Ron ever be charged for breaking the law now with TWO 17 year olds? I know hind-sight is always 20/20 but I think I would have left my children with some very able bodied grandparents that have popped up on the different news reports rather than a child herself - especially at night - especially in the woods. Art, I would love for you to have your own show and I would love to help line up guests. Many people are interested in true crime and with your charisma, I'm sure you would instantly be a hit. After working for a state crime lab for nearly 30 years in Oklahoma, I also would love to join Tim Miller's team. What a dream it would be to work with both of you! ----------- <strong>dena-- thank your for the kind words, and your wonderful questions.

Last word was he was living in someone's trailer in a driveway because he had lost his job. Misty has left Florida after the drug deal gone bad 911 call. I remember as a child people being killed because dealers thought they were narcs and/or owed money for drugs. Hopefully the police have investigated the local dealers and addicts for any info on outstanding debts owed by Misty or her family. Life means nothing to dealers.

You know just a long shot but maybe Misty is behind the kidnapping after all she was the last person to see her. Perhaps it is her that has her stashed somewhere, after all it was her that once said, "she was going to steal Ron from Crystal to get him," this might be the only hold she has on Ron. Maybe it is drug connected since her brother was arrested and isn't talking. Haleigh might be her Ace in the hole, it is a possibility or just a passing thought. To bad the psychic's weren't brought in, or maybe a drug deal gone bad. I pray however that Haleigh is alive and will be brought home soon, the truth always comes out in one way or the other, so people everywhere, pray really hard for the truth to be out and shown. ((((((Haleigh)))))) Love you and God bless you sweetie Love you a lot *MUAH* oxox :) Thanks Art, Nancy, Jane and all for the update on Haleigh, especially the apology to Crystal.

First of all Ronald has alibis, cell phone pings, and alibis. If something were to have happened before work...dont you think he would have been distraught, acting strange, or some kind of odd behavior from him. In addition he passed a polygraph test. Fact is every person has a temper....which buttons does another press to get it out of the person? If this were me and I came home to my child being gone, vanished into thin air...MF would not be the only words coming out. At that point I would be thinking stop asking me questions, get somebody here now. We need to find my child. I would be in pure outrage. Everyone knows the first step of grief is anger and typically you lash out at those around you. Intentional or not. Pam: Think about the facts.

Please tell me why they haven't arrested Misty? They should have arrested her when they found out that she was involved in a drug buy. I have a feeling if she were in jail, she might just talk. Especially, being as young as she is. If arrested, she wouldn't have been able to go to TN. How do we know that she won't flee to an undisclosed location? We all know that she is involved in Haleigh's disappearance and I believe that Tim Miller is right. On another note: All sex-offenders should receive life sentences. That may seem harsh to some, but they cannot be rehabilitated. The stats prove that. I urge everyone to go on Mark Klaas website to search locations of sex offenders in their area. I did and was appalled at what I found. We desperately need to protect our children. It is becoming more and more freguent that a child disapears or is found dead due to a sex offender. We need safe houses for children that have to walk home from the bus or play in their yards. We need to go into the schools and teach children how to protect themselves. But we also need to educate parents. It doesn't matter what size of town or city you live in. It can happen anywhere. Thanks for what you do. Reporting is essential. Art:
