Does anyone know exactly where he (Jr.) was when the LE arrived the night of the disappearance?
No, Jr's whereabouts are up to interpretation. Annette Sykes stated she was the one who took him to the Sheriff's Office to meet with the LE examiner. He is not heard on the 911 tapes. No one else mentions him at all. There is a blacked out name on the witness sheet that LE has. Some have presumed it was Jr's name. The only thing we are clear on is that it is not clear where Jr was.
Why did GGM drop clothes off that night if Ron and Misty were supposedly at GGM`s that morning retrieving Haleigh`s clothes? Am I missing something?
According to AS herself, that is what she did. It was the purpose of her visit. It was also 9 days after Haleigh's disappearance when we learned she was there. IF R/M showed up with children in tow to gather Haleigh's favorite outfit for school, 1) AS knows what Haleigh was wearing to school that day; and 2) it does not prevent her arriving later on with more laundry done. What then confuses me is how is it AS had so much laundry at her house in the first place. Had the children been staying at her house for an extended period of time recently? Further, is Ronald so totally incapable of doing laundry that it piles up while Misty is gone over her weekend away?
Anyone with experience in hypnosis who can explain how they would know she didn't submit?
I always thought that a person under hypnosis is unable to lie and that is why it is such a good investigative tool? Misty seems to be basically telling the same story as in the LDT and the voice stress test.
I don't know much about it, but when asked by the examiner to describe that NIGHT, she starts off early in the morning. I know that the Hillside Strangler (Kenneth Bianchi) managed to trip up his own case by faking being hypnotized (as well as having multiple personalities). It was fascinating in that, since he faked being hypnotized, the test results and video could be used in the court against him.
Do you think Misty is a pathological liar and at this point believes her lies? I don't know how people do that but they say people that lie continously eventually believe their own lies.
Busy, I believe Misty has used lies to cope with her life for a very long time. I truly would not want her life-story as my own. However, her lying in these videos is of the "save my own butt" kind, and not the kind that will just take her to the next phase. I wouldn't put it as a pathology as much as I would put it as just a tool in her tool box she's always used to keep her "safe" from whatever perceived harm she may find herself in. She doesn't have to believe the lies. She uses charm and wiles to do that for her. "I'm only 17, how much do you think a 17 year old can take?" Clearly a manipulative tool on her part to have the pressure ease up.
Is that pressure fake? No, it is real. But to meet that pressure with the truth instead of a coping mechanism is the typical response one would expect from a "17 year old." One would expect the 17 year old to cave under the pressure and begin to tell the truth of what she knows, and yet, we have her rolling over and playing the victim. It becomes about HER, not Haleigh. Misty is trying to save herself (From a very real threat of being thrown into jail) and therefore her toolbox is out, not for the truth, but to save herself.
She does make me weep. For the potential she lost so many years ago and for the life her choices have shown her was all she would ever get. But she knows what happened to Haleigh, and enough is enough.
