Why would Misty have a change of heart?
25 years is a whole lot better than life for murder.
She may be stupid, but she's likely no dummy.
This is something I've given a lot of thought. IMO, because of their investigation and LDTs etc... LE knows who did and who didn't murder Haleigh. IMO, they don't have the necessary evidence to prove it. And this is where I'm a little torn. Would they have offered Misty any kind of immunity deal, if they believed she killed Haleigh? IMO, probably not. When the harbour search was going on, LE made the statement that Misty knew she was in a lot of trouble. I took it that they knew she was involved, and culpable somehow, but not the murderer. IMO, LE has never shown much interest in JO...at least none that I could tell. which is odd either way you look at it... because he WAS there, he was related and he did have a grudge with Ron. So, I don't think LE has completely disregarded him, but I'm not sure he's in their cross hairs. maybe he is. Then there's Ron. If LE suspects him, they've had a weird way of showing it. Except for busting him, and stifling him with the proffer, I don't see much suspicion. IMO, it looks like they know Ron has been holding back important information. Then there's Tommy. Does LE suspect him? I'm not sure, but IMO, they pulled out all of the stops to get him those 15 years. IMO, him being called a suspect was serious business. Considering how tightlipped this LE is, I saw it more as a tipping of their hand, than as a railroad. They were pushed into a corner with the possible 3 years, and did what they could to get him locked up. So, which one? back to square one. Obviously, LE has a lot of information that hasn't been released, and whatever it is, points to at least one of these people. IMO, Tommy's 1st arrest and getting him to say he had been by the trailer was orchestrated, and he fell into a trap. He didn't accomplish a thing, except a little bit of freedom and putting himself at the crime scene. He later backed away from the time, but LE said they were sticking with it, (reported by Art Harris, I think), so IMO, LE has enough evidence, to know something crucial happened at 10ish. And when the JO story broke, Tommy was again front and center. IMO, LE set another trap that he again, fell right into. But, my question is this...Did LE get any viable evidence? I think so. IMO, this is why Tommy didn't back away from JO when Misty and CC did. He couldn't. We heard about cinder blocks and yellow rope. What all did we NOT hear about? But the timing of the story, and Tommy being called a suspect, and Misty reportedly being offered immunity, all point, IMO, to LE suspecting Tommy. I could be way off, and their evidence may point at noone but Misty. We won't know until and unless LE decides to share with the public. I get a real bad feeling where Tommy is concerned, so I'm not very objective. I realize that. But, a lot of little things add up to big things. His wife, (on the call from him to FH), asked if Tommy was, 'the one'. He said no, but then she divorced him. If his own wife had to ask, IMO, something's wrong. Speaking of that call...IMO, I've never heard such fake contrition in my life. His mantra of doing something that should have been done a long time ago, made my blood run cold. Maybe I'm wrong, but that phone call had a profound effect on me. I felt like I was listening to a cold blooded murderer, who was trying to lie, blame and squirm his way out of trouble. All JMO
