According to this video, Haleigh's family will have a press conference at 1:00 and the sheriff's office will hold one at 3:00.
This video also states that Misty was driven away by deputies just as the reporter was starting the report. It also shows the tent that the family is living in.

Sorry, Ron, but you and your family/associates' lifestyles are extremely important to this case IMO. Associating with known criminals, SOs, druggies, etc is pretty crucial. Yes it seems ugly but how can you not pick apart these lives when trying to find a little child? What else is there to go on?

Ya know, I'm glad that the media is being good about keeping Haliegh in the news. But why oh why do they ask those stupid (IMO)questions? "How do you feel?" oh come on now, how do you think they feel. Gee, my daughter is missing for 9 days now, I'm surrounded by 44 know sex offenders, and oh my daughter is missing for 9 days now. ARGGG... I guess this should go to the rant thread, but it just kills me on some of the questions people ask.

Ronald could not be more wrong that this is not about his life or private life.

Misty is with detectives right now. Time for her to tell the whole truth. It should not be that difficult. You can recite the truth over and over with no variations.

I don't believe any of them any longer.

Why is it okay to pick apart the A's but not this family? The child is missing, irresponsible people were in charge of this child. Stories are changing and not making any sense.

I think the public is allowed to talk & discuss. He can say anything he wants, it's his words, LE isn't confirming or denying. How do we know he's not trying to hide something? Are we getting too close?

When the reporter asked if Ron believed Misty was telling the truth, and if he believed she was at hme, he answered"I believe she is telling the truth" (Did not specifically say he believes she was home, or anything about being home)
He said "I dont know whats what"
"Concentrate on my daughter missing, not whats goin on in my life"
"No fight, no cousin, no gun"
Reporter:"Do you have another child besides Jr and Haleigh?" pause........"possibly"

He is in a tent donated by the funeral home on property someone is letting him use, and someone has provided him with a flat screen tv, and allowed him to run cable to it, so they can watch television.
Before the presser, in the video that showed the inside of the tent, Misty had just left with detectives, and she was in the house across the street. It looked to me like the house on Chelseas myspace. The one where the Christmas lights are on the front porch. FWIW

Well, I never really agreed with "picking apart" the A's, but I think he's avoiding the same mistake they made. They answered questions publicly about all sorts of stuff they shouldn't have talked about, and a lot of the focused was shifted to them, publicly. I'm not saying this is wrong, I'm just saying from THEIR standpoint, they would have been better to keep the focus on Caylee, and not answered nanny questions, Casey's lies, etc.

So I really feel like if he knows he has nothing to do with Haleigh missing, he's trying to keep the focus on her.

I don't see anything wrong with it. He's doing what people begged the A's to do all along: shut up and focus on your (grand)daughter.

I never said it's ok for one family but not another.

And I didn't realize the purpose of Websleuths is to pick people apart. I'm not here to do that. I'm near to learn and study issues of murders and missing persons.
And again, Ron does not owe the public any explanations about anything in his personal life. As long as he's being honest with the police he doesn't owe us anything.

If there is another child he should not publicize it- after all, one of his children is already missing. Who is to say that whomever has Haleigh would not try to take that one too???

Why yes teh it sure 'nough was. RC admitted to "possibly" having another child - well which is it? Either you DO or you DON'T! IMO he does - and that article from yesterday was true.

Noticing body language - RC had arms crossed - defensive action. Eyes - both gma and dad several times looked down and left. If they don't want to answer sensitive questions and have their lives "drug through the mud" then why hold a press conference?

Now, on to the funeral home that is helping the family out. Funeral home printed up shirts and buttons - they were distributing them. Now, they are asking for "donations" for the shirts and buttons. hmmmm......sound familiar? Donations to BOA - funeral home guy will give out acct number so media can post.

Wow - I have to just digest this. Thought dad vowed off the media.

I just find it completely weird that he doesn't want his lifestyle investigated/talked about when his little daughter has apparently vanished into thin air. If your child is missing and you are innocent, what do you have to hide? Why not be open and transparent regarding everything about you? Sure it may bring some embarrassment or hurt feelings, but YOUR CHILD IS MISSING!

I am not sure if he is embarrassed or what about some of the obvious irresponsible behavior surrounding that child, but I would think he would want to be an open book if that helps find his daughter.

Right, and my question would be -- who is this mother? Does she have a grudge? Ron takes care of Haleigh and Ron JR. -- do you think it is possible for a revenge or vengeful type situation???

Also, it was mentioned that MC might have been babysitting Rons "other" child. Was she really babysitting this "other" child and that is how they met??? But paternity has not been established???

Yes, but unfortunately an "open book" can be distracting for the public. I can tell you right now, if I child was missing, I would try to keep people looking for her, and not focusing on my family drama (and boy, do I always have a lot of family drama :crazy:) As long as he is being an "open book" with the police, if they think something is relevant enough to generate tips, I feel sure that they'll release it:)

Why can't we discuss Haleigh's life & parents here? I suppose I'd support your point of view if you've never posted on Caylees thread discussing the A's. And I don't know if you have or haven't. I understand your point of view, for me though, when there's a child missing & stories are changing... truth not being told, then everything should be under scrutiny.

He may not owe us anything or be willing to discuss, I'm concerned we're getting to close to something he doesn't want out there. That's bothersome to me.

If he had nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem. When you put your child in an Alligator pit, and people will have questions, right??? Why be surprised?? No, Misty, is NOT telling the truth.

Pirate - in order to "learn and study" about murders you have to delve into the lives surrounding those murdered and the murderers.

Having another child is very relevant. Was the mother of the other child going after child support? Did she have another bf who has been hounding RC for support money? Could there be a conflict as to WHO the baby daddy is? More than one guy involved?

Of course we discuss and "sleuth" to find answers - we don't do it to persecute anyone. We do it to find "the lost child". HALEIGH is what comes first. Finding her alive is the main goal.

The people here have their hearts in the right place. During Caylee's case one WS'r identified an unknown person and consequently solved that case.

Sometimes studying and learning involves topics and facts that are, well, not so pleasant. Does that mean it should stop? No.

I can tell you right now, if I child was missing, I would try to keep people looking for her, and not focusing on my family drama (and boy, do I always have a lot of family drama :crazy:) As long as he is being an "open book" with the police, if they think something is relevant enough to generate tips, I feel sure that they'll release it:)

I think he is handling it much better than the A's

Yes. I am fine with him not giving personal info that he believes irrelevant out to the media. As long as he is being honest about it with police, what more can we ask for?

Would the feds or local LE give Ron or Misty Immunity to any other illegal activities they might be involved in, if they provided info about who, what, where or what could have happend that could be the *link* to where Hayleigh is??

Well I guess if a person was more interested in saving their own arse, than the well being of their child...I guess they would.:crazy:

In past cases of this sort LE has been able to eliminate the immediate family by this time. Eliminating immediate family and anyone living in the house is first. LE cannot get past them so something is wrong here. I know I am not saying anything all of us didn't already know, but not being able to eliminate Misty and Ronald makes me very suspicious.

I think everytime that Misty is with detectives Ronald is worried.

I also think Ronald was trying to work up some real tears and couldn't quite do it.

IMO, this presser was for the sake of asking for money.

This is just the way I see it. My opinion.

ITA. Right on the money.


It tells me that she has inside information that is valuable to LE. Also, that she would be the easier one to "break".

Yep, reminds me of this ooooooooollllllld Columbo episode (yes, dating myself). It was one of my favorites. Gene Barry killed his wife and Columbo didn't know how to prove it, so he decided to go after what he called, "the weakest link," and that was Gene Barry's young girlfriend (or secretary).

Yep, somebody out there is very very worried today.

Pirate - in order to "learn and study" about murders you have to delve into the lives surrounding those murdered and the murderers.

Having another child is very relevant. Was the mother of the other child going after child support? Did she have another bf who has been hounding RC for support money? Could there be a conflict as to WHO the baby daddy is? More than one guy involved?
Of course we discuss and "sleuth" to find answers - we don't do it to persecute anyone. We do it to find "the lost child". HALEIGH is what comes first. Finding her alive is the main goal.

The people here have their hearts in the right place. During Caylee's case one WS'r identified an unknown person and consequently solved that case.

Sometimes studying and learning involves topics and facts that are, well, not so pleasant. Does that mean it should stop? No.


I am going to start sleuthing into the unknown child. I just wanted to get the spelling of the name Ron brought up - thanks!

I agree with you btw.

The photos provided don't give me a clear clue of what child I am looking for when searching thru the masses in the mall.
I would like to see something maybe 4x5 foot photo of her with this family pointing at the photo saying "Please, this is our Haleigh" If you see her please call and give the phone numbers.

If he had nothing to hide then it shouldn't be a problem. When you put your child in an Alligator pit, and people will have questions, right??? Why be surprised?? No, Misty, is NOT telling the truth.

I think we just disagree;) If I were devastated because my child were missing and I really though that my "family drama" etc had nothing to do with it, I wouldn't put it out in the media either. I'd tell the police, yes, but I wouldn't want to be made a villain/dissected in the media. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people SHOULDN'T focus on his lifestyle. But naturally, if you put it out there, it's going to happen. If he goes on talking about family drama, obviously people are going to jump there.

I'm just saying it's not necessarily because he's hiding something. As long as he's telling this stuff to the police, I don't care. And frankly, he might not feel it's an "alligator pit". It might be what he's used to/the way he was raised, too.

I agree, I think Misty is lying about something.

Why yes teh it sure 'nough was. RC admitted to "possibly" having another child - well which is it? Either you DO or you DON'T! IMO he does - and that article from yesterday was true.

Noticing body language - RC had arms crossed - defensive action. Eyes - both gma and dad several times looked down and left. If they don't want to answer sensitive questions and have their lives "drug through the mud" then why hold a press conference?

Now, on to the funeral home that is helping the family out. Funeral home printed up shirts and buttons - they were distributing them. Now, they are asking for "donations" for the shirts and buttons. hmmmm......sound familiar? Donations to BOA - funeral home guy will give out acct number so media can post.

Wow - I have to just digest this. Thought dad vowed off the media.

I still think the whole point of the presser was to ask for donations.

I found that when he crossed his arms it was after question about him. What we don't know is if LE has asked him not to speak about certain issues. He clearly is having a difficult time not letting his anger bubble up. I get the impression that Ron knows that he has an anger management issue and he is doing his best to keep that under control.

In a lot of families little boys are taught by example that showing fear or tears is not being a 'real man' but you are allowed to be angry so the tendency is to redirect all emotion to anger.
I know with my own DH, in 30 + years I have seen tears twice and he was embarrassed that he broke down and I saw them. He is not quick to redirect that emotion to anger but gets very quiet and is almost overly calm and very exacting with his words. He also crosses his arms. That has always been my clue that inside he is really torn up but just won't let that show.

A couple of things to put out there about the funeral home and a local motel not providing a room - this is a very small community where it is likely that everyone knows everyone. Taking that into consideration, I don't find it odd that a funeral home would be involved with donations, etc. or whatever they may be doing. I would find that no different than a bank or any other type of business in a town this small helping out. As for a local motel offering a room, again, considering the size of this town, I doubt that there is even a motel there period. I would say the closest motel would probably be in Palatka and if they stayed there, they wouldn't be anywhere near their home.

You'd better believe I'd be in a tent in my front yard...I'd never be able to sleep comfortably/eat/ANYTHING knowing my baby was missing, and possibly not eating, sleeping on the ground, etc. If she wandered up, I'd want to be there. If someone dropped her off, I'd want to be there. If the police found her and brought her home, I'd want to be there. At her home. So she knew that we were NOT moving on without her:)

Anyway, I agree with your post....any local business is probably going to want to help, and that is a small town:)

2. she has changed her stories many times
3. We hear Ron was in a fight with someone the day before she went missing
4. Misty could of been having an affair with his uncle
5. Misty is once again taken away by LE

There is only one motel in Satsuma. Not sure how many in Palatka. IMO - this has generated ALOT of media coverage and I'm willing to bet the few motels in the area are probably filled with media. This is generating A LOT of revenue for this low-socio economic area. Diners, restaurants, even local bars are probably filled to capacity every day.

So whats wrong with that. This is a working man that lost his daughter. We may not agree with or live the lifestyle he lives but his daughter Hayleigh is still missing. The guy seemed genuinely broken up about his daughter being missing and after crying for 9 days he may not have a lot of tears left. They may not be able to afford to go live in a motel, and if it is a rural area there may not be a motel to live in anyway.

The Man from the funeral home said they had folks calling them wanting to help, wanting to donate, wanting to get buttons and shirts.

If YOUR child were missing, would you be at work? Would you let your other kids go hungry? Would you let your cell phone get cut off? (I know I wouldn't....I'd want to make sure Haleigh could call if she knew my cell number)

I might be wrong, but I don't think this extended family has financial resources to be able to just help Ron out, because many of THEM are probably missing work, too.

As for the donations, this is really disgusting me! You cannot pay your bills...not the publics problem. I understand that this is a very tough/rough time in their lives right now, but please...(Ok, I guess I am having no sympathy with this issue because I believe Ron and Misty are to blame here...because I probably would send a donation to a hurting/struggling family that was going through the same thing believing they were innocent...I'm not awful...just honest)

Also, it was mentioned that MC might have been babysitting Rons "other" child. Was she really babysitting this "other" child and that is how they met??? But paternity has not been established???

Does she have a grudge? I would think so! He doesn't acknowledge her child as his, so he most likely does not support her or the child. Not only did he reject her AND her child, he took HER babysitter and moved her into HIS home to care for the children that he DOES acknowledge. Might be some big time anger there!

It all has to be kept so separate, helping with monies for the family, pressers, media blitz on Haleigh, etc. I'm not against helping a man stay home to look for his child, just against the psycho loser out there watching TV, smoking crack thinking 'yah, there's another way to earn some dough'. :eek:

Grandma Neves seems to be able to speak well. I wish she had held up Haleigh's flyer during this presser. She is a dispatcher and knows descriptions of missing children are very important. When the reporter asked about Haleigh's birthmark, it would have been good to show the flyer.

I wish LE would also point out that whereas Haleighs hair could have possibly have been cut or changed colors, that birthmark would still be easily outstanding.

Does she have a grudge? I would think so! He doesn't acknowledge her child as his, so he most likely does not support her or the child. Not only did he reject her AND her child, he took HER babysitter and moved her into HIS home to care for the children that he DOES acknowledge. Might be some big time anger there!


So now take this coupled into - who is this other mom? Who are HER family members? Does she have any sexual predators that could be associated with her circle? I know it seems like a stretch. But think about Mom might have creepy brother, brother knows about her ill will toward Ron etc... Kidnaps the girl as punishment - this is ALL HYPOTHETICAL and just an example of how twisted I think this situation could be!!

oh okay. well i missed a bit of the presser thus missing the request for monies altogether. Sounded like he was doing the asking.

It all has to be kept so separate, helping with monies for the family, pressers, media blitz on Haleigh, etc. I'm not against helping a man stay home to look for his child, just against the psycho loser out there watching TV, smoking crack thinking 'yah, there's another way to earn some dough'. :eek:

I'd like to hope that type of help could come locally from church donations, etc and doesn't need national attention. His expenses can't be that much per month????

You know, I wonder about this...I wonder if they have, or if EVERY case should have someone in charge of actually overseeing what/when/how is paid.

Does anyone know how this works?

Ok - as for donations. This is a small town. Everybody probably knows everybody. If locals wanted to donate - just go out to the tent and hand RC or CS the money. That simple. IIRC there was a woman over the weekend - CS's mom is a school bus driver for another county - this woman came out and gave her money - it was in a video article that was filmed around the TES tent.

Dad works for PDM Bridge - this is a HUGE operation. Steel bridges. They have a bridge on the front page of their website that was built down here - not very far from my house. HUGE HUGE HUGE MASSIVE BRIDGE. They seem to be very reputable and a very honest organization - I would bet they have offered to pay RC - at least for a little while - maybe "use" his vacation time. I would think they (PDM) has a heart for an employee whose child has gone missing. Well, that is, unless RC wasn't so honest on his employment app and they have now found out about his "record". We simply just don't know.

If you noticed - when the Watts guy - funeral home guy - took over the mics - RC stepped back with him mom. He puts his arm around her and leaned over and was whispering to in her ear. Wonder what he was saying.

I dont think theres anything wrong with asking for donations for this family. Its not like it was made national policy or anything! The folks that dont think its right-dont have to donate but if you want to-you can.Simple as that...

I agree and it makes me a little uncomfortable that people would be so up in arms about this. How would anyone support their family and pay bills in this situation, either we as a society will help or we wont. I believe we should help and I know I'm grateful I live in a place and community where I have no doubt our family's needs would be met in such a horrible situation.

I think there should always be a 3rd party when it comes to public donations. Otherwise the not so 'nice' people of the world could have motives.

I hope the local areas or even if it's just the 'state' of Florida should be more than enough to get donations from to pay bills and put food on the table. At some point though, the man will have to go back to work. As hard as that is, he has other children to help support.

I know in my town years ago there was a young man with Down syndrome who went missing. They did find him, sadly he had hopped a slow train and when he tried to get off miles away he ended falling and fractured his skull and died..
The local funeral home set up a fund for the family. This was before he had been found. They handled any donations through there business. In this way any money that was given was accounted for as well as any monies paid out. It makes it easier for the family to answer any questions of who and what and how much later on. The family itself didn't even no who was sending them money. If Ron is not working he is not getting paid. I would doubt that the company is just going to keep sending him a paycheck and yes expenses keep going and usually you have even more expenses to deal with. When there is a crisis you can't do the things you normally do to control your expenses. This community is accustomed to people not having a lot of backup funds to deal with crises. At least they were upfront about it and clearly stated that the money would be to help pay bills. They weren’t trying to tell the public that the money would be used to search and then used to pay bills.

Of course it's too much to ask. I couldn't work if my child was missing. Not that I think it's just peachy to ask for donations, either, but I definitely do not expect him to work.

I would like to know if his employer has suspended his paycheck. If so, it would be nice to know which company to boycott.

Yes, I wonder if that would help combat the idea that you and I were talking about earlier...about copycats for money. Of course, if someone is stupid enough to do something like that, I'm sure they wouldn't consider the fact that there would be a third party to oversee the account.

Also, I'm sure ALL monies collected won't be through the account...people are just kind hearted sometimes, and are going to give what they can directly to the family...no way to oversee that:(

Well, I never really agreed with "picking apart" the A's, but I think he's avoiding the same mistake they made. They answered questions publicly about all sorts of stuff they shouldn't have talked about, and a lot of the focused was shifted to them, publicly. I'm not saying this is wrong, I'm just saying from THEIR standpoint, they would have been better to keep the focus on Caylee, and not answered nanny questions, Casey's lies, etc.

So I really feel like if he knows he has nothing to do with Haleigh missing, he's trying to keep the focus on her.

I don't see anything wrong with it. He's doing what people begged the A's to do all along: shut up and focus on your (grand)daughter.

ITA

If LE wants to dig into his personal life(which I'm sure they will) it's for good cause and they may feel there is need to do this. Just because he has a criminal record means nothing and probably has nothing to do with Haleigh's disappearance.

And the A's, well, what can you say? They are a different kettle of fish, courting the media, ignoring the truth which was staring them in the face, defending Casey........... should I go on? :crazy:

I think people do stupid things with their money everyday and if someone has reason to believe their donated dollars will not be spent the way they intended them to be they shouldn't donate. If someone wants to pay their bills, order them pizza, buy their cigerettes, it really doesn't effect me in the least. They can set their money on fire for all I care. Personal choice and all that.

I didn't see the press conference but I have to chime in here. Ron is right, as long as he is telling LE everything, his family issues are none of our business and public outing of the issues will not help to find Haleigh. It warms my heart that his community is donating money to help his family pay bills and support themselves while they search for Haleigh. I am sure many of us know what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck and Ron can not return to work now. Would you if your child were missing? Me either.

Pray that the kidnapper has a change of heart and drops Haleigh off at a hospital, Walgreen's, Wal-Mart - whatever. Keep thinking about Elizabeth Smart and how she was found after 9 months. Miracles happen everyday. Pray for one here.

true! He should still have a check.

Still everyone - donations from churches in the counties near them should be more than enough to support them. May not pay for any child support for his other children but enough for them to keep their lights on and food each day.
No need to go on a national level & use the media to ask for money. my2cents

Yeah, he's not very media savvy, that's for sure. Actually he comes across as not that bright. He first thanked the media, then seemed to resent them more with every question.

Agree, tehcloser. That is the way this keeps playing out. LE will not "help" the family out by saying they passed their LDs. The story changes have been fast and furious and it's strange that everyone (Ron and family) just keeps accepting and retelling these story changes like they are normal.

Because most people are compassionate and giving, I suppose the money will come rolling in.


At this point I feel Ronald could go back to work. Guys need to stay busy. It just might help him to get through the day better. He could leave if there was any word of Haleigh.

If money does come rolling in, there needs to be an independent controller of that money, IMO, and not the family.

Kinda O/T but when our family had a tragic unexpected death a few years ago, just about every family members fellow employees took up donations and gave them to us. It was shocking and we sat there stunned. My own sister sent me a check (it was on DH's side). I was like "What's this for?" Her answer, she didn't know what else to do and wanted to do something. None of us had thought about paying bills in the time we waited, thoughts of anything except our loss didn't exist then. It was a shock to be reminded that life was going on around us, even if it seemed stopped for us. But, I do have to say, all the unexpected money was donated to the Families of Fallen Heroes in or loved ones name. Seemed kinda sick to use it for anything else.

I don't have the words to say, that even I would approve of to express how very disappointed I am at catching up on a few threads here today as Haleigh's case has been given it's own forum.

I appreciate the posters who have mercy and wisdom first and foremost concerning Haleigh and her family.

"Money answereth all things", we must help one another. Ron is the sole provider of his family. That provider has been literally slammed off his payroll job by a family crisis that is the heart and terror of every loving parent in all cultures knowing no divides of color, race, sex, age or nationality.

I encourage those that are led to give, your reward shall be great. We don't know who or how many are guilty yet, a grieving Father must have a place to lay his head. Shame!

The comments about not having decent large clear enough photos of Haleigh to view for our discretion, if I had the skills I would photoshop, mix and enlarge, til I came up with an ideal photo for the public to use to try to help locate Haleigh. Then I would forward it to LE and offer it as my way of helping in this case, maybe someone with those skills who claims I wish I could help, can see their way through and be a help to this family and LE. I've seen so many photo shopped comical pranks, jabs, humourous etc... photos done all across the internet, maybe someone here will put that skill to work to help.

I can't even get the facts of the pressor, for the link wouldn't play for me, and I'm still stuck not knowing, only that the Family mentioined donations.

Was Caylee's this high this quickly? I was out of the country when they Caylee story broke, so I am very sketchy about early details.

Also, I think there are other very unfair reasons such as how the ones pleading for the return come across. I honestly think that the more articulate and groomed they seem, the more willing folks are to dig deep. And I loathe to think that.

Well, I suppose that might change things of why he didn't go with Misty right away...BUT...why was it so important that Misty had to go right then instead of being there for the presser with Ron? HMMM...

So many questions...so little answers!

I don't have the words to say, that even I would approve of to express how very disappointed I am at catching up on a few threads here today as Haleigh's case has been given it's own forum.

I appreciate the posters who have mercy and wisdom first and foremost concerning Haleigh and her family.

"Money answereth all things", we must help one another. Ron is the sole provider of his family. That provider has been literally slammed off his payroll job by a family crisis that is the heart and terror of every loving parent in all cultures knowing no divides of color, race, sex, age or nationality.

I encourage those that are led to give, your reward shall be great. We don't know who or how many are guilty yet, a grieving Father must have a place to lay his head. Shame!

The comments about not having decent large clear enough photos of Haleigh to view for our discretion, if I had the skills I would photoshop, mix and enlarge, til I came up with an ideal photo for the public to use to try to help locate Haleigh. Then I would forward it to LE and offer it as my way of helping in this case, maybe someone with those skills who claims I wish I could help, can see their way through and be a help to this family and LE. I've seen so many photo shopped comical pranks, jabs, humourous etc... photos done all across the internet, maybe someone here will put that skill to work to help.

I can't even get the facts of the pressor, for the link wouldn't play for me, and I'm still stuck not knowing, only that the Family mentioined donations.

:clap::clap: Thank you for this post, it's what my heart feels also.

At this point I feel Ronald could go back to work. Guys need to stay busy. It just might help him to get through the day better. He could leave if there was any word of Haleigh.

If money does come rolling in, there needs to be an independent controller of that money, IMO, and not the family.

God forbid of anything happened like this to my family but if it did, my OH would not be in a fit state to go to work, not a chance! He drags himself into work when he is really ill but he wouldn't be able to function if one of our kids were missing. I certainly wouldn't expect it.

I'm really surprised Rons work will not meet his wage in this situation :confused:

Though it is certainly fair for us to analyze the family's past in these situations, it does not serve the family to go into that detail at a press conference. IMO. He is trying to accomplish two things with his press conference, and they are both focused on finding his daughter. One, he is trying to keep her picture and her story in the public eye, so they will keep looking for her or will recall something that will help. Two, he needs donations and volunteers to keep the search going, and the best way to raise funds as to get the message to as many people. Most families would not be able to pull these types of searches together and keep them going, without financial support.

Obviously, he needs to be open with LE about all of this stuff, so they have all the information they need to work from, but it can sometimes be a distraction to the public, when they see too many bad things about the family. Many people will make the assumption that she is already gone and may no longer look for her, or look at anyone else that might be involved.

I have a sad question....

WHY is the reward for her return so low??? Caylee's was very high. WHY is it so very different for different children?

I don't really know, and many of the missing kids barely get a headline let alone a reward.

The only thing I can think of that makes any sense to me is people are drawn to what they can identify with, and on the *surface* the Anthony's in the beginning looked a lot like "us" to use the term loosely.

Middle class family, relatively nice home but nothing over the top, two adult children, a beautiful grandchild. On the surface Casey probably looks a lot like many middle class people's college age daughter.

Not as many people are looking at Ron and Misti and saying that could be us. She so reminds me of my daughter. That could be son on TV. Easier to disconnect from them. As it became easier to disconnect from the Anthony's.

Maybe no paternity test has even been done to see exactly whose child it is.

Then I wonder how the mother is supporting this baby. She could not get any form of public asssitance if she did not name the father, or if a paternity test was not in the works. JMO

At least the reward for Haleigh did go up a little. $6000 was laughable. Considering some of the players, anyone with info might be endangering their lives if they give it. I don't know many people, even homeless, that would accept $6000 as a trade for their safety or life. So $16,000 is a little better.
Not enough, but I don't think that a million is enough as an exchange for info that could save someone's life, especially a childs.

If you look at Madeleine McCann and Caylee Anthony the rewards were big, in Madeleine's case it was £1 million. I think some children grab attention while others don't, very sad but true. But it seems that it's middle class families who get the huge rewards, maybe I'm wrong though.

If she is on state aid, you are right they do go after the father. If Misty was babysitting maybe she had a job.
