I really do not know if Misty knows what happened to Haleigh. I really don't, she is a mystery to me. I have followed this case since I heard about the "cinder block" and the "van" the night Haleigh went missing. I got frustrated at the lack of movement in the case and I have just been following what WS have provided as information on a very haphazard basis. :blowkiss:
But! IMHO Ron has always known something about what happened to Haleigh. I am sorry but I could not have a lower opinion of Ron Cummings. What is different to me, about what Misty is saying here is (and unless I have missed her saying this before) that Ron was on drugs and was abusive.
This is not a surprise to me, but it is a surprise that Misty is saying such things. The last I knew about this case was Misty had nothing but good things to say about Ron. I think the gild is off the lily (she was being abused by him and now has been away from him long enough) and she is wanting the heat to be on Ron more than her.
I think(maybe?) at this point, if Misty really knew what happened to Haleigh she would sing. Why not? Wouldn't she be able to make quite the deal? (of course if she was more involved then she would still not tell the truth and there could be no deal) It makes you wonder why LE did try to get her to talk, but it seemed they "left" Ron alone. (Except for busting him for dealing pills- but meaning re: Haleigh ) Is that because LE knows Ron would never tell them anything? Especially if they do suspect he had something to do with what happened to Haleigh.
Drugs, drugs, drugs. What I am beginning to believe is that this did have to do with drugs. But! I have a hard time believing that a little girl is any kind of a payment for anything. That sounds like a bad movie plot. Why would drug dealers want Haleigh? If Ron owed them money how is taking Haleigh going to get them money? Ron was not a rich man-its not like they could ask for a high ransom.
If the only drug Misty was on was "pot", I also find it hard to believe that is the reason she does not know what happened. If she had been partying: drinking, smoking(pot) and had done so all weekend(week?), then she might have been very tired and (passed out). And, this is why she is hazy on the details.
I think Ron never did tell her what actually happened (if she is telling the truth and she truly does not know anything), she was too busy being loyal to him to really find out-and now she has been put in jail and as I said she is feeling bitter about her relationship with Ron and how what happened to Haleigh is not her fault. Because its not:
it is Ron "I was at werk" Cummings fault.
And so...these "drug dealers" stole a five year old girl (with special needs, if I understand correctly) so they could get the money from Ron. I guess they never contacted Ron, unless you believe Misty who is saying they did. I remember when Ron said something about getting money together for Haleigh, -so this is probably a story Ron was hoping to push, imo. But, I say they did not contact Ron because wouldn't he have paid money to get his daughter back?
Wouldn't he have gone to LE to let him know that someone is blackmailing him for his daughter? If any of it were true(that people wanted money for Haleigh), and that a "black man" had given this information AND Ron cared one bit for his daughter...I think no matter what else Ron had done in his life-he would have co operated with LE.
And now that he and Misty are busted for drugs anyway...why wouldn't Ron tell LE? Is he afraid "they" would get to him in prison? Well, he owed "them" money before and they did not do anything to RON.
They hurt Haleigh~! And if Ron loved his daughter one little bit he would not be worried about what would happen to him, he would tell anything that would get Haleigh back.
IMHO: this is like the Anthony case where no one (in the family) did/does anything (makes any move) to actually FIND the child. Did Ron run around his neighborhood like a madman knocking on doors? No. Did Ron ever check anywhere but in his own trailer? No. I remember that news report with Ron holding the picture of Haleigh with his mom there to comfort him. And I thought to myself, "a man wouldn't be standing there crying, he would be out looking for his daughter." And, I thought the tears were to stir up sympathy for HIMSELF.
I stopped reading about this case because of my upset that Ron was not being pressured or looked at by LE like I think he should. Really, I have no idea what LE is doing...I just could not stand that Ron is lying about Haleigh. IMHO.
I just don't know about Misty. :no:
Thanks for letting me jump in and voice my :twocents: I am sorry for Haleigh. :tyou: to Websleuthers who are dedicated to her thread and her memory.
