Technically, I never said OR implied that Misty was the one who staged the MH. However, I do believe it WAS staged, and in order to avoid a huge fight with others, I'll just say that I believe it WAS staged.
So, to answer your questions without identifying who I believe staged:
1. I believe it was staged.
2. In this question, IF Misty was the one who staged it, I could not answer why she wouldn't make it look like a forced entry. It can be assumed logically, since we have both Ronald and Misty insisting that the doors were locked, that the entry was either with tacit agreement, through an unlocked door, or staged. The unlocked door is the only option that allows for a stranger abduction (along with whatever theory people like to hang with, be it familial abduction unknown to the parents, familial abduction to avoid child support, familial abduction in order to force the hands of one or the other parent into complying with ...... whatever. Take your pick.)
3. A perp would prop the back door to make it look like that was the way a perp went in or came out. The person who staged it would have done it for the same reason.
4. A perp would have never turned on the light, so this is another clue for me to determine the scene was staged.
5. I cannot answer for what Misty's issue was with what Haleigh was wearing that night. I do not know whether she lied or whether she just didn't know and threw out a best guess which proved incorrect. Either way, what it demonstrates is a lack of knowledge on something that should have been rather academic. I find no reason to excuse her age in this matter, because frankly, if she had the maturity to be the 24/7 daycare provider, she can be assumed to have the ability to keep track of what she put on the child to go to bed. But maybe not. I can only guess, and it isn't worth it to me past the point that she really was sadly unaware.
Misty is still free due to the choices LE makes, and nothing anyone else could wish or hope will change that. Until they have a binding legal reason to arrest her and charge her with something, she will rightly remain so. Whether anyone likes that or not, LE gets to choose. I cannot successfully conclude that LE doesn't have enough for an arrest, based on that. I can only conclude that IF they have anything on her, they aren't arresting her for reasons unknown. The conclusion I come to regarding that thought is not a pleasant one.
Your conclusion that Misty was set up to be sent down the river is inriguing and leads to the natural question of "who would set her up and why." Mudslinging in this case was like sitting ringside at a mudwrestling match so it really is a wash for me as to what was said about her. There isn't one person involved who hasn't got an intimiate knowledge of how it is on the other side of the law. Sad, really. (Well, Haleigh and Jr and Chloe.......they're innocent.)
TN also took pictures. It seems to me both sides were leery that the other would use those images as proof of abuse. Turned out, they were. Crystal has separated herself from her former attorney, as she says, for "personal reasons." Doesn't seem to get much more personal than being publicly flogged for following attorney advice on an issue that later is proven unfounded. Were those pictures of demonstrable abuse? I couldn't tell you. They were pretty awful. Not my call; that was DFS. But there will never be ANYONE EVER who will convince me that when people started approaching Crystal with stories about abuse, that they should not have been investigated. If these same people had only come forward with these complaints long ago, I wonder where this family would be today. Day late and dollar short, but rightfully reported, investigated, and as far as DFS is concerned, closed.
snipped BM for space
So you believe the crime scene was stagged?
If Misty staged it why would she not show forced entry?
Why would she prop the back door?
Why would she leave the kitchen light on?
Why would she lie about HaLeighs shirt and later claim to of found it?
These few questions have me perplexed because all would indicate her from the very begining and she is still free. The staging was ment to look like she did it not the other way around. The reason she was the key is because this act of revenge was a set up to send Misty down the river. The mud that was slung her way was circumstantial to show guilt and allow the public a birds eye veiw into selective activities of Misty's weeks and months prior. Ron was also put into that public spot light with the unfounded abuse alligations. I have to ask again why and who would want revenge so bad to implicate Misty of a crime against a child. Why would Crystal bring forth aligations of abuse against Ron when she states she never suspected he abused the children before for days after Haliegh was abducted,but,took pictures in November with her stepmom and did nothing until after HaLeigh goes missing?
If you can help me out with these few questions I just might see it in a different light.
