I tend to agree with you, although I have not been following this case very closely. I recall an interview she gave very early on in the case where she indicated that she hated the father because he was very controlling. I remember thinking that she had a great fear of the father getting custody...

I don't personally believe that he has many "enablers". He may have had temptations around him. It's clear that he did use drugs at one time, but when he accepted responsibility for taking care of his children, his drug use was either greatly reduced or stopped. Nevertheless, I have...

Or, he's a lot like Tim Miller, who went into the depths of despair after his child disappeared and developed a serious drinking problem. Anyone who loses a child like this really needs professional counseling to get through their grief and anger. If someone has the means, they can afford help...

IF one believes the AH article and that his facts are correct, then according to his source “It was a pretty complete immunity offer”. -- "Complete" implies to me that the offer covered both the drug charges and the Haleigh case. Misty's lawyer, Fields said that he told Misty to tell him...

The thing is that, once again, we have too little information. TN didn't say that Misty & Ron were together at the MH, talking about their problems". I thought Misty was at one of her brothers' houses and that she and Ron were talking periodically on the phone all night long. It doesn't sound...

Telling lies is one thing. Covering for the guilty is another. I think that LE believes she knows exactly what happened to Haleigh that night and exactly who did the crime. It implies that she is protecting someone or someones to the extent that they have evaded prosecution for crimes against...

I don't think you should apologize for trying to think outside the box! It's a perfectly acceptable concept and integral to the idea of sleuthing. I think what you may have been bringing up is the idea of a mercy killing. There have been family members who have done this in some cases, more...

A lot of this depends on whether one believes all the "stories". Personally, I think that 90% of them are garbage and I base this on how the gossip was originally started. Once rumors start, it's human nature to jump in, add to the stories, and to spread them. So I think most of it is untrue or...

I give Teresa crsdit for keeping Haleigh's name in the news whenever she could. She was clearly very emotional about the loss, but she persevered. After LE called in the families after the river search, she changed over to keep a low profile. Every family member (except for Flo) then kept a low...

I try not to wear rose colored glasses when looking at a case like this because I want to be objective. I understand that Ron has faults and has made some bad decisions. But, he was the only parent who was able to get a decent job. He was the only parent who provided financially for his...

It's pretty apparent that LE believes that Misty was the leader of these drugs deals and was not a novice, based upon the testimony of Travis Smith. He's an FBI Investigator, not just a local cop. Reading between the lines, it sounds to me like they also consider Misty the primary perpetuator of...

bbm If this is true, I'm sure it isn't just by coincidence.

Within a family, members may have a long history of lying for one another and it's become ingrained in them to do so. They may have a code of loyalty to support each other, regardless of the reason. They may be so embarassed by what another family member did that they can't admit it even within...

I think - and, of course, none of us have any way of actually knowing, so these are all just opinions - that Ron had a hard time dealing with the pressure of being a parent of a missing child under scruntinty of LE. Due to immaturity, due to a rebellious personality, due to mistrust of LE, due...

I don't see how you can jump to that concusion. We don't know that Ron has not already given this information to some members of LE. LE has to determine that they want someone to testify to some particular information they have been told. LE may have asked Ron if certain things were said or done...

bbm I agree with the bolded line. There was another similar video of Ron and Haleigh, as well as many still pictures, that show a beautiful interaction between parent and child. Not a fake one, but a sincere one. I think the thing that sealed this for me was the Dunns Creek vigil for Haleigh...

Yes, I understand your opinion and you are fully entitled to it. It appears that Ron was involved with drugs, as are approximately 12.5 million people in the US. Shoemaker was not making any comment about Ron's innocence in using or dealing drugs. He was saying that Ron was not a target of LE...

I think by "Collateral damage" Shoemaker meant that the LE sting focus was targeting Misty and Tommy, and not Ron. There was no implication that Ron was working undercover. Collateral damage is damage that is unintended or incidental to the intended outcome.

The SA said he would be required to testify in "any lawful proceeding called upon", so that sounds like it is open ended. Anytime they need him to testify for any trial they want him to testify at would be fair game.

Nothing's changed my mind. I do not believe that he killed Haleigh nor was he 100% sure who did for a long time. I think he had his suspicions, but not enough to try and take justice into his own hands. This young man is very immature and made some serious, self-serving mistakes in his life. He...
