Hi there,
In regards to the portion of your post that I bold-ed, while listening to a video of Sheriff Hardy this morning( thank you Kimster for the LT Greenwood thread) I noticed that he gives a bit of detail about the doors on the trailer. He states that when officers arrived on the scene that morning, the inner door was ajar and the screen door was propped open. I don't know about you but while envisioning the trailer and the back doors the picture that formed in my mind had stark differences to the actual appearance that we finally got to see when NG did the walk through of the home weeks later. While listening to the 911 call Misty says that her back door was "all open" and Haleigh was gone. The door that was "all open" was the screen door and the back door itself, which is reported to be self closing, was ajar. That is coming from the reports from S Hardy and the first officers on the scene. What we don't know is what was keeping the inner door ajar.
During the walk thru of the home TN stated that there was always a pile of clothes on the floor, so perhaps that was what was keeping the door ajar? Was Haleigh's pink shirt in that pile of clothes when it was discovered by LE? How much is ajar ....exactly, and could the back door, propped open by a cinder block, be seen through the inner door that was described as ajar?
If you notice on the video of the CNN walk through with TN, the door closes to within what appears to be 2 or 3 inches and certainly meets a logical usage of "ajar" but falls well short of a reasonable expression of "standing wide open".
If you notice in the video, there is no way to see a propped open screen door whether the inner door is closed or ajar. The door comes to rest at "ajar" of it's own devices and not laundry on the floor.
