Since almost the beginning, I've thought that Ron was responsible, & Misty was covering for him, & that Ron & Teresa were pulling Misty's strings. But, I've tried to keep my mind open to other possibilities. The sex offender theory has never felt right-mainly because it would have taken a perfect alignment of the stars for that to have been pulled off. The propped door also contradicts this. Misty doesn't seem to have an original idea in her head, so I think that was a little trick she picked up from Tommy-& she used it either because she didn't have a house key & went out, or it was a part of the staging. Misty being responsible is another possible theory that I've had a problem believing-mainly because I just couldn't imagine Ron covering for her. But....we hear about kids being murdered all of the time who have stupid mothers covering for their pedophile ex-con boyfriends. So, that really could be a possibility. But why in the world would Teresa jump on the Misty bandwagon? because Ron wanted her to? I don't know if I can buy a grandmother loving on her grandchild's murderer. Also, I have to admit that I'm a little bothered by Tommy. He placed himself @ that trailer & you can bet there's a lot more to his story. But why did Ron send him that rat? makes no logical sense-unless Tommy & Misty are both involved & Ron, while covering for his 'love' Misty covers for Tommy by default.
IMHO..Ron C , his mother or his grandma would have never covered for Misty IF they thought for a second she was responsible...IF you look back at some of the videos, it's quite evident they had plans to make Misty the FALL GIRL if it ever looked like Ron C was going to be blamed for whatever happened to Haleigh...
For months things went along as they planned until Teresa Neves was told to get out of PCSO and never come back.. Shortly after that the altercation between Tommy and Ron C took place... Misty took out the RO and then she and Ron put the rat in Tommy's mailbox...
TN then called in MN and TM to assist them in setting up both TOMMY and Misty..They insisted Misty take those tests knowing full well she would fail miserably.....I suspect Teresa Neves also knew Tommy was aware of the fact Misty was with some of Ron's family that night.
Ron C, TN and GGMS have been playing Misty from the beginning, and IMHO she is a stooopid stooopid girl not to have known this.. As I see it her only hope is to tell the truth about what really happened. IF she doesn't she will be set up to take the fall for Ronald.. As it is with this drug arrest she could go to jail for what could be the rest of her life...The choice is hers.
If it were me, I would reveal the truth and take my chances..MY ONLY hope being the judge would declare me a youthful offender...JMO
