I believe Misty have most of the involvement in Haleigh’s murder.

1) Misty is a typical teenager who has been left to raise herself. She has had no moral guidance. Thus, her comments about the other women in Ron’s life and the comments she made about the kids preferring her. Jealousy at it’s worst.

2)She was addicted to drugs and liked to party.

3) She and Ron were having problems (Ron is that “upstanding” (according to NG), wife-beating, drug selling, lying, vindictive, father who’s mother’s connections in the LE world has helped him get by with many things anyone else would be doing time for commiting. I have no doubt that his mother’s connections is one reason Chrystal did not get her children. Chrystal has her faults, but the only thing Ron had going for him in a custody battle is a job and momma’s connections.

4)Misty may have “love those children like my own” but she didn’t love being tied down. What 16 to 17-year old who like to party and do drugs would?

5) Ron reportedly was close to his kids and I am sure, having witnessed similar situations, his love of his children cause friction in a marrage where the woman is an immature child who is jealous of everyone and everything that takes away from her wants and needs.

6) Haleigh was getting to the age of independance and having more of a cognizant understanding of her surroundings and what was going on. Children in school learn quickly from each other and children of less-than-perfect parents become all to aware of the difference between parents who are involved and care about their children and the ones who expect them to stay out of their hair and take care of themselve (this is probably how Misty was raised and nothing indicates she would have been any different in her handling of someone else’s children).

7)It has been reported that Ron tried to call Misty several times that night (to my knowledge, no cell phone records have been released so this is supposition). Ron and Misty had not been getting along. There were reports that Misty had been with another man. Ron is hot headed and probably very jealous of his women (especially if the allegations of wife-beating are true).

Both were emotionally hyped up due to the drug use.

9) I had heard a rumor that Misty wanted a baby of her own and Ron said he had enough kids. (This is just rumor, but it does fit with the young girl in love with her man scenario).

10) Misty is not the innocent little girl she tries to portray in front of the cameras. Her comments to and about Ron’s baby mother’s tell you a very good story of what Misty really is.

We don’t know what words were spoken prior to Haleigh’s disappearance. I do believe that Misty was partying (or wanted to) and was angry that she had to babysit, was angry at Ron, and lost her temper with Haleigh when the child didn’t cooperate (perhaps she did wet the bed and got up and interrupted Misty’s fun). Haleigh could have seen something that she knew her daddy would not like and threatened to tell him (that happens so often in these situations).

Since we have no evidence, nothing solid to base facts on, it is all supposition. It just seems that wife-beaters and drug dealers all are very predictable in their behaviors and thinking.

I know Ron has a history and has managed to get out of many scraps. That is why I have to wonder if he didn’t stay with Misty and do the drug thing in cooperation with LE.

Just putting my theories out there.

Misty is desperate to make bail. Is it possible that she is writing letters with so called “details” about what happened that night in hopes that they could sell them to a reporter and/or magazine for enough money to bail her out?

How can these people (any of them) claim to have loved Haleigh but then be willing to exploit her death for a USED CAR?? SHAME ON THEM!!

Having grown up poor in the south myself, I have always avoided throwing around phrases like “poor white trash” and “trailer trash”. I have found them to be offensive and prejudice statements. There is a big difference in being poor or with limited means and being trash. But, I can say with a clear conscious that these people are the very reason these stereotypes exist!

I wish that they would give Misty what she has been begging for and put her in the general pop. I think she would start giving them straight answers in exchange for them putting her back in protective custody. I bet there are alot of vicious women in there, that nomatter what crimes they may have commited woud give anything to be with thier children, I bet they would love for Misty to get within arms reach.

I’m not sure if I was Ronald that I would be cutting a deal for 15yrs. Doesn’t sound like a great deal to me. I think he should ask for a jury trial because I can’t help having sympathy for him. I think a jury would be sympathetic as well. I think he should be offered drug court and go to rehab. I believe the trauma he has been through caused him to relapse. He states in one of the undercover videos that he coud come upwith the money to do all those pills himself. This is clearly a statement of someone who is dealing to support his own habit. He deserves punishment but he also deserves compassion.

These new tapes are fascinating, and will be discussing them on NG Wed night. heading down to tape the show tonight. Tx Art
