I think that LE has a pretty good grasp of what happened to HaLeigh; proving it, by the standards required by a court of law, is (and will be) another matter altogether - IMO. At this point, finding precious HaLeigh's body will confirm that she is in fact deceased, however it may not give much information as to the cause of death unless the skeletal remains show signs of trauma that could/would be severe enough to have caused her death. That being said, I hope and pray that LE is using a parallel approach in the investigation by working fervantly to get an admission from one of the players while at the same time using every means & method available to them (e.g,. GSP tracking on vehicles, video/audio surveillance, UC's befriending the players and recording conversations w/them...) to obtain any information that would help them to find HaLeigh's remains. Call me a skeptic but I don't think we'll see an admission by anyone in this crowd - the only POSSIBLE chance of getting one (IMO) is if HaLeigh's remains are located and the skeleton shows signs of trauma. If there are no signs of truama I fear that the only admission we'll hear from Ronald and/or Misty is that they were wrong; HaLeigh must have (afterall) slipped out of the house on her own, unnoticed, and succumbed to the elements... I just pray that LE isn't putting all of their eggs in one basket - so to say - by waiting and hoping that someone will crack.
MOO ~
