What would Tommy benefit from helping to set up a kidnapping of Haleigh by someone in CS's family?
Connie took the pix of the school injury. Marty feels as though Haleigh was stolen from him. Marty would have seen the pix and no doubt been disturbed by them especially if someone was telling him the injuries could not have been cause by fall at school.
Then of course, Connie and Marty would know about Haleigh's babysitter (they lived in the area) and probably heard about the wild weekend prior to the disappearance. Everyone seems to know everyone's business in Satsuma and the community is so interrelated that I imagine there aren't too many things that escape the rumor mill.
Even Marty believed that CS was some how "robbed" of custody through some sneaky dealings on Ron's part. He has been operating under a misconception because CS lied about the circumstances of the court proceedings.
But kidnapping? Even a well-intentioned taking of Haleigh is still a kidnapping and Marty would know this, he is ex-LE. He would face the same charges as a stranger abductor.
Where would he "stash" her for life? I dunno if this makes sense. Who would raise a kidnapped child for him and risk prison? Can't be that many people eager to go to prison and who would be banking on staying out of prison on the wherewithall of any of these people.
I agree that the longer this goes on, the less likely this scenario becomes. I think if this is what happened, the entire plan fell apart after CS was unable to obtain custody. My belief was that if CS had obtained custody of Jr. then Haleigh would show up somewhere safe, like a fire station and it would be assumed by the family that CS would automatically get custody of her too.
There have been a multitude of lies and cover-ups from the Sheffield side, imo.
There is the fake search that no one has ever given a smidge of reason for planting evidence and then initiating a "search" to find it. Why, why, would they do that?
Then there is the injuries scenario w/ Connie, Connie questioning Jr. about what happened that night, Marty's statement about Haleigh being "stole" and RC got what he deserved. And then they all move to another state.
Another thing that bothers me is CS's immediate insistence that Kim file a support reduction, like she already knew Haleigh wasn't coming back. When I read she had done that it caused a knot in my stomach. I'm not saying she was not entitled to a reduction since Haleigh was gone, but as a Mother that would have been the last thing on my mind as it would be an admission of sorts that she wasn't coming home.
Then there is Chad G. who has a record of hiding a child, to do w/ custody in Ga.
And finally, the immediate solicitation of donations to me is also strange. MG was soliciting as soon as the first week of the disappearance, according to the bar documents.
These are the things that bother me about the maternal side of the family, and the possibility that Haleigh was taken by someone from this side.
