-Eyes for Lies
Reader
i wanted to leave another comment concern,and many's have the same concern i have,when ronald cumming's n misty croslin, where interview in new york city, its bother me immensely that misty just stare when Merideth asked her why her story change,then to just say dont know, misty nodded her head yes when Merideth said but you do knowledge that your story is inconsistant,By Shamby.
i seen the video interview by greta van susteren, also the video when they where interview in newyorkcity. i have seen it before gone over it recently, there is a behavoir in ron he is looking at her misty when she is being question also by greta, i seen the clip, the one in newyork city, look at the body language, the way he respond he lookes cold hearted, and ron shaking. it say alot there. I HOPE THIS CLIPS ARE SHOWN TO THE HIGHEST EXPERT AND THIS CASE BE SOLVE ONCE IN FOR ALL. BY SHAMBY.
oh, and Eyes, another brilliant analysis. This is the School of Deception Detection. Glad I found your site.
If you woke up in the middle of the night, and noticed that the kitchen light was on (could have been one of the kids that turned it on), and then noticed that the back door was opened, wouldn't you check on the kids...and then run outside? I'd be shouting, "Haleigh!?! Where are you!?!" and running around.
Then I'd wake up Jr. "Did you see where your sister went?" (How old is he?)
Then I'd dial 911. And then I'd dial Ronald. "Hayleigh's missing. I checked everywhere. The police are on their way."
She didn't do the normal 'parent' thing. I understand that she was the girlfriend at this time, but still...
This story sounds true up until she sees the light on in the kitchen, but then it doesn't ring true to me.
Great observations here. Something about Ron doesn't sit right with me, and I believe Misty and Ron's family (including the grandma) are covering up for him.
I'm growing increasingly annoyed with Nancy Grace, who panders to Ron at every opportunity and seems way too critical of Crystal, the biological mom. But that's another story...
My theory is that Ron was an abusive father and boyfriend. Something enraged him on 2/9 between the time he picked Haleigh up from school and left for work (assuming she actually went to school that day). Unfortunately, there is very little information about the events earlier that day.
Ron then cooked up a story with Misty, told her she needed to clean the house (wash the sheets, hide drugs, and so forth), while he needed to dump the body and get to work to establish the alibi. I believe he knew the area well and was able to find a good hiding spot. When he came home from work, they propped open the door and made the 911 call.
Because Misty's lying about what happened that night, she's having a hard time sticking to any one story. Because Ron's relying on Misty to cover up for him, he needed to marry her and probably also believed this would give them marital privilege in case she was called on to testify later. Even though marital privilege wouldn't apply to what happened that night, I don't think Ronald Cummings realized that.
Assuming that they did pass the polygraphs, maybe they were on drugs? It does seem that Ronald knows his way around law enforcement.
The only other plausible scenario I can think of is that this is the result of a drug deal gone wrong. Even if this is the case, Ron and Misty are lying and ultimately responsible for Haleigh's abduction.
Eyes,Thanks for opening my eyes. Ron is guilty .Easy to see .Poor Misty,life in prison or life with Ron.
Did you notice also Misty nudges Ronald slightly with her elbow when asked about the inconsistancies. You have to watch it closely.
I think Ron said the mother was "lawyered up" not "loaded up" -
I saw another clip where he was looking down, that under lid look.
It was not with Misty - and I read it as a method he uses to listen, and think - maybe even memorize what is being said. This is a person who I think wants to be CERTAIN he remembers accurately what is said so that he can bring it up and use it against you if need be.
His need to protect himself in this way goes back to his childhood is my guess. What do we know about Ron's dad? Maybe Ron had to protect himself from his dad at an early age, and learned this method of not making eye contact but being hyper alert - maybe his Dad was NOT a good "provider" - and thus Ron's return to this statement often. Also it was probably a good catch phrase he latched onto when he won custody.
Just me being an arm chair Psych -
I wish we'd hear the questions in Justice for Haleigh's link to Art harris interview. This seems to me like an operation to minimize the damages. Misty's mood seems very different from Today Show. No deer in headlights here, she's more confident. Her account flows and actually makes more sense than some of the previous times. Some of it sounds rehearsed. But I think she introduces yet some inconsistencies compared with her previous accounts. Both her and grandmother remind me of "me thinks she doth protest too much" when they emphasize once again how great a mom Misty is for the children. It seems like a dig at Crystal Sheffield.
And hello? how stupid does she think people are? "No, Ron wasn't yelling at me, he was yelling at the dispatcher because the LE came too slowly." Yes, he was yelling at the dispatcher too, but there's no way some of the yelling on the 911 call was directed at the dispatcher. NG had a snippet that was something like "how the *** could you let my daughter get stolen, you dumb *****" (Sorry, I don't recall exactly.)
No reason why he would yell something like that at the dispatcher who was not babysitting his children, and even if he did, it would hardly make him look any better, calling the dispatcher names who was only trying to help.
JMO - I think that Misty should be arrested. If she is put in jail, maybe she will talk. She is way more afraid of Ron than the police. There are certain emotions that you just can't fake. I don't care how hard you try. Ron is very controlling and I would bet he is abusive. Neither of them seem real broken up about the fact that his daughter is gone nor do they seem overly intelligent. It is just a matter of time before this comes to fruition.
I just watched the Nancy Grace interview with Ron, and he has really toned down the smirking. When asked why he had custody it sounded like he said the mother showed up to court "loaded up" which I assume means intoxicated. Nancy Grace sure knows how to get the dirt. However she did not get clear answers to the important questions, unless you think hearing Ron trash his children's mother is "important".
Is it possible that Ron is telling the truth, and so is Misty, but they are both so mentally challenged that they come across as bad liars?
Private investigator William Staub aka Cobra is now on the case. Art Harris did an interview with Misty after the Today Show. I will post a link below. At the end of this interview you can see Ron speaking with Staub. Whoever was involved in the disappearance of Haleigh better watch out. Hopefully we will soon have some answers.

Please give me your thoughts on this video. Many Thanks!!!

Liz,
Very good observation. I had not thought about that. I agree with another blogger (Sam) that he is trying to distance himself from the house when he continues to reiterate that he was at work. Your comment is very true. One more for the armchair detectives!
I do believe the pressure is mounting. Misty did not appear on Nancy Grace with Ron tonight.
Eyes,
Please give us your thoughts on the exclusive interview he did tonight with Nancy Grace. I did see some nodding yes but saying no. I did catch the same question asked twice and answered differently.
I am leaning towards the theory that Misty was not home and that Haleigh wandered outside and, sadly, may have drowned. I also would not be surprised if the cops are trying to get Ronald to help "break" Misty and maybe, the marriage is some sort of plan in that directions. I don't know...it is truly a mystery.
Lisa that is why the comment area is SO facinating. I DO have to use a brick or other device because I am very clumsy by nature and now have a minor disability so I need to prop the door open. Actually I can no longer carry my child.
That is why for me, I just keep going back to the door being propped open to assist in getting a load out with arms full, I mean it could have been laundry the door is next to the machines. Also if you watched the footage of the door, the inner door automatically starts to fall shut from the weight - this doubles the need to prop the screen door open - a bigish kid, a small woman, one door that falls shut, and another that slams in from the other direction. It would catch you in a double slam of course life would be much easier if one door was not an issue, you could get out holding the closing door with your backside while not dealing with the incoming pressure of the outer door. If you look at the footage it makes sense to go out that way with something you might not want some one to see - you can pull up to the back with a vehicle and it appears there are woods just behind.
Of course I am not quite sure Misty is giving off any signals she got rid of or did anything with Haliegh other than witness. I don't think Ron would need to prop the door. Nobody has really stated they think Misty did this and got rid of the child. I totally at this point have given up guessing about Ron. I have known this rural southern type . . . they can really get on something inappropriate and really throw off "vibes" of rage that just aren't part of mainstream. He is really pissed that is for sure - but I am not sure why.
To me the taking out the trash comment was a deep vendetta comment.
I just wonder if there is a Hatfield/McCoy type story in the background we don't know about.
The strongest statement we have seen out of Misty yet is her anger at the "rude" cop - don't discount the ability of these folks to get bent out of shape by things that seem totally crazy to us - then there was the blaming of the out of state cousin, also by Misty.
These people are not smart enough to keep this up for long . . . this case will break. It won't take as long as the Anthony case.
I'm not sure about the brick.
I've got three kiddos and have gotten used to carrying them in on my own without assistance and need for propped doors. It is a small challenge, but doable.
The hard part is when they suddenly start moving and throw you off balance.
I agree that he should feel some parental remorse for being at work when his daughter went missing.
I know my husband is a pretty stoic indvidual to a fault.
I wonder if Ron is trying to convey a stoic demeaner but is unable to do so properly. (i.e.men don't cry, don't get emotional---blah blah)
Liz I'm so glad you said that! I just assumed his attitude at work was the fact he had a job but something else was off too. Just couldn't figure it out, but you nailed it.
there are alot of things that seem strange, but when he says with a slight smugness "I was at work", it seems like that would be the opposite of how a grief stricken parent woudl feel. If I was at work when my child disapeared, I would feel guilt that I wasn't there to protect my child. His smugness seems inappropriate.
I forgot to add this in my last post.
Marriages disolve when one partner cannot forgive the other for cheating.
How can Ronald forgive Misty? Let's say she is innocent of any wrong doing. Everything happened just as she says.
The fact is, his baby girl disappeared on Misty's watch. How can he forgive her for allowing that to happen? You cannot tell me that wouldn't destroy a marriage.
I also have a hard time believing he isn't abusing or at the very least controlling her emotionally/mentally.
I seriously think the brick was there so someone small could use both hands to carry 40+ pounds of dead wieght out the door. If you notice there are stairs too. Why does someone prop a door open? So they can navigate without hardship. Would a large man need to prop a door open?
Would a small 17 year old need to?
I of course think this because I have done just this kind of thing to carry my sleeping child into the house from the car seat - opened and propped the door open first. You need both hands to carry a limp child. This is something a FEMALE is more likely to do.
Spot on analysis as always, Eyes. Something that also caught my attention was the fact that, when asked about what this detective thought about Misty being a suspect, he doesn't say "The detective says she's not a suspect", or anything so set-in-stone. He says "He doesn't think she's a suspect". Could this be a form of aversion? Perhaps a justified response of sorts?
It is enough for me to know that Ronald feels "proud" of himself and Misty for passing the polygraphs--as evidenced by his smugness when the topic is discussed. An innocent parent wouldn't feel smug or proud that he passed a lie detector test in regard to their missing child. They wouldn't also be "shoving it in the face" of the general public. A passed polygraph test is exactly what an innocent parent would expect, and there would be no gloating about it. It wouldn't even be an issue--it would be "on to finding the missing child" with the very next step.
Maybe the reason you saw duper's delight is because now he thinks he has "proof" to back up what he's been saying and thinks he's untouchable. A lot of times guilty parties act arrogant and smug when they think things are turning in their direction.
It's interesting that Misty "woke up" around the time Ronald was getting home from work. That's why she never gives a specific time--just "3-something." Something happened between the time Ronald got home and the police were called. That's when they also decided to set the scene. The brick propping the door open was the best they could come up with. They thought that it would "show" police someone had come in and taken her--the only option they seem to think could have happened, because it's the one they want everyone to believe. They would have thought that if they didn't do something to the physical environment to show an intruder, that there couldn;t have been an intruder. WHY would an intruder, after LEAVING, prop the door open? That makes no sense. It is their childish way of trying to cover something up...and that's the best they could come up with. I cannot imagine that this should take much longer. There is no way these two are going to manage keeping what little act they do have together. They are way out of their league.
The most obvious sign was one not present...Newlyweds, distraught over the disappearance of "their," little girl.
Do they look like the couple just described? Could you be void of emotion?
They don't hold hands. They don't looking at one another. She does look at him when he speaks, but she really has no other place to look (except down).
Their marriage is a band aid, like over eating, or drinking when you're upset. It's a temporary fix to mask the pain.
Putting on that white dress, and havig friends & family VALIDATE their relationship is Misty's way of making something very wrong go away..but band aids always come off.
Excellent take on the body language, voice, etc. Misty has always cowered next to Ron . . . and he appears as a volcano ready to blow at any provocation. Misty should be careful as she will be the next victim (if not already) of Ron's anger. From day one, after hearing the 911 call, my intuition told me something was off as the call seemed scripted and illogical, eg, Misty waits for Ron to come home, Ron acting out to 911 about how he is going to "kill" the people who took his daughter when he didn't know what happend to her. Ron is trying too hard to do say the right thing (always talking to camera to Haleigh) but his actions are opposite. I agree with Eyes, there is a lot going on here between these two.
Oh and don't get me wrong I think Ronald is just as guilty for not working with Police as the one who committed the crime.
Thank you Eyes, for your very astute observations. I had caught those smirks or little quick smiles too and wondered what they meant. I have been suspicious of Ron all along, and I am sorry if I am wrong but feel he has more knowledge of what happened to Haleigh. It also, bothers me that on several occasions he speaks of her in the past tense. But will say he is going to believe she is alive until they bring her home...otherwise(?)
This Wedding is very strange, and as someone else said he has some other ulterior motive. I also, noticed that when they went to the Courthouse to get the license how he seemed begrudging and walked ahead as Misty trotted along after him waving to the cameras, and giggling with laughter which would seem normal...if there were not a missing child. Then when they exited the building he took off for the parking lot to get in his truck and Misty nearly had to break into a run to catch up. Did anyone else notice that? He just did not seem to be the new 'Loving' Groom to be nor did he defer to his new Bride with any type of affection in the Wedding Video that I could See.
I too have noticed him with his sly looks at Misty under hooded eyelids and muttering or coaching under his breath on several interviews.
Very Strange.
The job thing is irritating. People like these don't realize working to support yourselves is the norm in the real world. They think since Ronald is the rare "prize" in men there he should be respected and honored for doing what comes natural to the rest of the free world. Which being in the circle he is, does say a tiny something about him. I'd bet money most of his guy friends are on disability living off older lonely women.
It's terrible to profile people but if it walks, talks and quacks well....
The look on Misty's face when she says he said I was a liar! That HOW DARE HE (see through me) face really shows me a little of her true personality. Ohhh...to be a fly on the wall when the Police show her this isn't burger king and onions are mandatory!
As far as who lets their daughter marry this kind of guy I bet that Ronald is looked upon as a prince by his family and friends. He is given a pass when nobody should be given one. I believe he thinks the world will give him the same treatment for seeking justice by his own hands as well.
The blankets. I believe Misty was washing "my" blankets as she said, but for what reason? I don't think she was washing the kids' blankets. Who does that right before bed and makes the kids lay down without bedding? I think she added the kids' blankets to cover up the real reason she was washing blankets that close to bed time in the first place.
Maybe I'm reading to much into this from personal experience, I dunno. Just thoughts.
Mindy,
I think Haleigh was injured in the kitchen and Misty witnessed it. I think Misty put her to bed and later found her there dead. Watch some of the videos again. Misty talking about washing blankets does not set well with me.
Again, if anyone has any information on the section of wall that was removed please post it.
Ronald and Misty beware. Armchair detectives are closing in.
Ronald seemed to be talking through his teeth to Meridith. I found this strange and uncomfortable. I saw that
look he gave to her, I think he
hides behind women's apron strings,
if a woman challenges him, he doesn't
seem to like it.
Ronald is not the cocky hombre in previous interviews. He is guarded. He is nervous, tapping his left leg throughout & towards the end he is tapping his left elbow as his left leg continues to dance (around the subject). He is closed off.
He is smug. He has quite the grin at
4:47. As EYES pointed out that grin re-appears throughout. Watch his mouth, he grins like he's THINKS he's puttin' one over on ya'.
I would suggest watching him when she speaks, & visa versa. What their facial expressions SAY while the other is talking is quite telling.
6:14 Misty says she put Haleigh to bed but she shakes her head NO as she does so.
If there EVER was a guilty moment it was at 7:13. When unable to answer why she (Misty) changed her story, she replies "Um." Followed by silence. She looks to him her HUSBAND for support, to help "bail her out," but he does not. It is the most uncomfortable seven seconds of TV
At 8:47 when Meredith asks if there's anything Ronald would like to say, he SHRUGS his shoulders when asking viewers to call the local sheriff's office. The shrug is like,a non caring signal " I dunno, whatever."
Very good insight as usual. I am impressed by your site.
These comments are really good today, very insightful and helpful. I always appreciate Eyes' comments, and agree pretty much. The concept that this is a child abuse case, honestly, never entered my mind, but maybe I had not been thinking too deeply about this case. The way Ron keeps bringing up his working that night, to distance himself from the disappearance, seems somehow to tweak me the wrong way.
Ann, I agree that Haleigh was possibly injured - and died later.
Eyes mentioned that Misty registered disgust when mentioning the kitchen in one clip. I wondered if she had been left in the kitchen (with the light on because of her fear of the dark) for punishment, and then found dead later, from as you mentioned an injury that took some time.
I also want to know have these two been drug tested, and certainly if drugs will influence a lie detector test - drug tested before hand?
I like so many others want some answers, I hope we get them.
I love weddings, usually. The cringe factor for this one was on high alert. He should have removed his sunglasses to say the vows. He should not have had his hands in his pockets. It would have been nice if he could have glanced at his "bride".
Such a mockery of marriage!
What kind of parents sign permission for their daughter to marry somebody like RC? He's a time-bomb of anger and hostility. Misty will soon be "over the hill" and he'll find another gullible teenager. Just watching him gives me the willies. I would not want to be in his company for one second.
Poor Haleigh...
People do not always die instantly after a head injury. When the brain suffers from a traumatic blow it swells just like any other part of the body. The brain is inside the skull and there is little room for expansion. If the brain swells a great deal herniation can occur. This is when brain death occurs. There is no blood flow to the brain. If someone with this type of injury is on a ventilator, it is possible to keep the body viable for a short time. That is what makes organ donation possible.
I once cared for a teenage male who had been admitted to ICU after a skate boarding accident. Several hours later his mother was in for a visit. He was laughing and talking with her. Suddenly he had a seizure. The CT results showed swelling and bleeding of his brain. He was placed on life support and became an organ donor.
It is possible that discipline did go too far before Ron left for work. Haleigh was reportedly seen on the porch that night. The seriousness of discipline gone too far might not have been evident until much later that night. When I watch Misty on the news4jax interview, she really tears up when she talks about putting a little sheet on Haleigh.
This is not necessarily my theory at this point. Only an explanation of how fatal brain injuries can sometimes take hours to cause death.
oh, Natalie, what a perfect name for that attire. I want to clarify my comment above-I think a casual outfit could be appropriate for some kinds of weddings, say, a beach ceremony, but my point is that Misty is all decked out in the white satin with the decorated arbor behind her, in clear contrast to him. They are not on the same page during any point of the wedding, from the clip that I saw.
Stacy, the kids call a sleeveless undershirt a "beater" - cuz that's what wife beaters wear! Yep!
I think that this was a case of discipline gone too far. The tragedy most likely happened before Ron went to work. Misty and at least some of her new in laws are in on the secret. The poor child's remains are in the nearby water or possibly the lake beyond. The reason the time line is distorted is that the whole thing was planned hours before the 911 call. I don't believe that Misty is guilty of harming the child but was most likely a witness to the event. She is covering up for Ron and his family b/c she is scared. Check the Putnam County Court Records and you will see that this family knows it's way around the law. Ron is not clever enough to get away with this crime by himself. Look to the family and their actions during the hours that Ron was at work. The marriage is a mystery to me but you can be sure that Ron has a motive other than love. Advice to Misty-The cops are the only safe haven for you now. Ask for protection and tell your story before you too go on a one way boat ride.
Thank you for your analysis of the interview. Did you see the clips from the wedding and, for lack of a better description, "reception"?
Were those cargo shorts he had on? What do you think about his wearing sunglasses during the ceremony? Did you see her excitement after the cake cutting, and how, at the same time, he glanced away with an almost disgusted look? Oh, and then how he changed into something even more casual at that point-an undershirt....
Thanks Eyes, I think your analysis is brilliant. I noticed many of the same things, and the general feeling I get is the same. They know something they aren't telling. The smirks bother me.
For me, Misty's deer in the headlights demeanour is likely genuine. She was hoping that by marrying into the Cummings family she would prove herself innocent and loving the children and send a message of 'See, Ron doesn't believe I did anything, why would he have married me if I did something to-with Haleigh'. But it doesn't seem to work as the engagement set off tongues and now even the police seem to be getting less tolerant of her vagueness. Gosh, somebody's been rude to her! And this is the first time they've been upfront about Misty not being cleared and hinted the media that she's told them lies. So, it's not looking good for her, and in addition to the media, she doesn't appear to get much support from her husband either. They project no togetherness in this interview, there's no reassuring squeezes, handholding or glances that I can detect, no talk in terms of "we, us", he does not come into her rescue when she's asked difficult questions, just lets her stew uncomfortably at a loss for answers, and reiterates his own alibi a couple more times. So I think it is starting to dawn on Misty that there's a possibility that she's not getting away with whatever it is that she's hoping to conceal and she's afraid there's going to be trouble. Hence the headlights.
Acting dumb doesn't make sense to me. As far as I can see she doesn't gain anything by it, her lack of answers just serves to make her look a liar. If she'd wanted to put on an act, she could have said something not remembering because of having been awakened in the middle of the night or the shock and upset or explained how it was all a misunderstanding and it might have had a chance of being believed.
His answer to the question why they married bothers me. I DON'T KNOW??!!? Then going on to explain that he thinks his daughter would have wanted it (OK, maybe she did maybe she didn't but why should it make you get married? Your daughter's opinion is not good enough, you were asked your own reasons to marry.) Then they're gonna have a bigger celebration when his daughter comes home. I just wonder...
He does not seem very earnest about it when he asks for info and talks for Haleigh. The word that came into my mind was shifty.
Hi Eyes! Nice place you have here.
Personally I think Misty had some friends over that night and Haleigh walked in and caught Misty being overly friendly with another man. Misty and her friends being stoned and paranoid realized Haleigh could tell Daddy so they got rid of her. I pray I'm wrong of course but my gut tells me regardless how it happened that precious child.....
I believe Ronald is coming off defensive because of his lifestyle and history with law enforcement. Once you're on the wrong side of the law you never let your guard down again. Also believe Ronald is starting to learn what really happened that night by friends but instead of ratting out his girlfriend he is going to handle the problem (Misty and friends) himself. He wants to be the hero, the badass if you will, etc etc. That's a big deal to these types of people. I'd go so far as to say Ronald hopes to get some time so he can add that to his resume' as well. He already has the street creed tattoo to show where his "heart" is.
I think Misty was ecstatic about the wedding because she thinks she snowballed Ronald, the police and the rest of us and got her man and one less kid. Win win in her sorry world. Ronald married her to keep her close because he is a man with a plan.
The deer caught in the headlights act is just that, an act. Misty's street smart and she knows how to play this to her advantage. She passed the lie detector test because c'mon who knows how to beat the system? Criminals! You wouldn't believe the cocktail these people will ingest to calm their nerves and beat these tests. Well those of you familiar with these folks of course know all this and lots more. Still it never fails to amaze me the lengths these people will go to do three things:
1. Get their fix
2. Prove themselves
3. Cover their asses
Let be clear, I don't know these people at all and this is just my read on the situation. Heck no I'm not a psychic and not an insider just thoughts from a know it all Bi-atch, or so I'm called, heh.
I married into a less than savory family and I've been around these kind of folks more than I care to admit for over 15 years now. I learned to read them after being taken down the road a few times and lets just say not a one can stand to be around me now. I prefer it this way lol.
I was thinking the lip licking was the after effects of a night on some kind of drugs, they had cotton mouth. Both are drug users, Ronald has a long rap sheet.
You were very good, don't quite agree Ronald was showing any joy but I do think he believes he has fooled the whole world.
Eyes, thank you so much for sharing your analysis--really appreciate your insights! And Ann, excellent post above--thank you to you, too!
Two additional things that stuck out to me: (1) When Viera asks Ron about what Junior said about the "man dressed in black," Ron once again returns to his refrain, "I-don't-know-I-wuz-at-work." And as Eyes noted, then he adds, "I can't tell you honestly." Wow. That's pretty (unintentionally) revealing. I don't think he's said anything HONESTLY about what happened.
(2)When Misty retells the story yet again of what happened that night, she says, "Well, I put [Haleigh] to bed at eight o'clock." But as she's saying this, she's shaking her head "no"--meaning, "No, I didn't."
Bravo. I too think Misty is key. She is in great danger. If Ron and Misty were not hiding something and Misty wasn't underage he would have dumped her ASAP. Why would the wonderful, hard working Ronald keep such a loser around? Not consistent with his personality. He doesn't want her, he needs her. I think that is how Misty is key. The magician doesn't want his lovely assist to give away the secret of the disappearing act. Even couples who have been married a long time and suffer the accidental lose of a child have a difficult time holding their marriages together.
I wonder if Ron fears that Misty can just tell on him, or is there some evidence to be found. Unless I am proven wrong, I will always believe Haleigh's body was put in the river. Ron is going to extreme measures to keep Misty quiet. I do think he feared possible rape charges and was misinformed about spousal privileges. He may also think that being married will help him keep custody of Junior. So many people think spousal privileges apply in this case. They do not.
The 911 call still raises many questions for me. They both had cell phones. Listen to the 911 call again and ask yourself what you would have done different. Why did Misty make the call not Ron? Cell phones are not land lines. You can walk outside and not lose your connection. Why be hostile towards 911 when you have called them for help? Why not keep them on the phone? You are not sure what might happen next when your home has been broken into and someone is missing. Use the other phone to make calls to family and friends. Appears very staged to me.
The Today Show was very wise to choose Vieira to do the interview. Ron could not have handled that type of questioning on national tv from a man. It would have really ticked him off. I'll bet staff was on alert and security was close by.
Eyes, thank you for the analysis. You are the best.
Thanks for this, Eyes! These two certainly didn't seem like newlyweds -- I don't think they looked at each other once during the interview.
I definitely feel like Misty is afraid of Ronald -- he does some like a very controlling and potentially dangerous individual.
I said it before, I think Misty truly doesn't remember her inconsistencies, because she may had been too stoned to remember. I also hope she does come clean with what she does know, and soon before I go out of my mind.
Well Ron sure isn't the most likable guy. He's acts so smug and arrogant. If he wanted the public's help finding Haleigh one would think he would be a little more humble and genuine. He seems to be taking too much of the bad press personally. More worried about himself and his 'image' than about Haleigh. imo
Eyes do you think Misty was being deceitful when she was asked about changing her story (@7:24 in the video) and she closed her eyes tightly and shakes her head and says no. Do you think she is hiding something. Sorry if you've already said so and I missed it.
I hope Crystal reads your blog. I think in one of her interviews she mentions that she doesn't know if Ronald had anything to do with the disappearance. At least we know she thinks it is possible that he had something to do with it. I feel so bad for Crystal. It rips my heart out everytime I see her cry.
Tried to post and not sure it went in the first time. Thanks for your views on this one. Assessing the video was good and I believe others may feel and think this way too. I was anxiously waiting to see what you thought about this interview too!
WOW, very well said in your assessment. Makes good sense to me. I think you are very good in your assessments. Thanks for sharing what you think and feel from what you have seen and heard from this interview.
Thanks so much Eyes, I was in "suspenders" wondering what you saw in that interview!
I think he is planning a physical altercation with Misty. I think that is what he meant by "putting the trash out" when it is time. He cannot afford to have Misty knowing what he did, because he thinks she is a "stupid biotch". He does not trust her to keep his secrets. I think he is smirking because he knows what he is planning to do as soon as he dares do it. Then he can say he did it for revenge(for her killing his daughter)
I think he choked Haleigh, and I think both Misty and little boy saw it. I also think he has hurt Misy befor, and she is afraid of him, but now that he has married her, it proves he loves her,(in her mind) does it not?
I believed them both innocent until now, after reading your assessment. One thing that bothered me so much was all the people calling them trailer trash and stupid, so I had a lot of sympathy for them. But when you break down the video like you did, it's hard for me to keep thinking I was right.
Wow!
I didn't detect as much as you did, but that is a fascinating assessment.
Eyes, do you think that Misty should be afraid of her safety with Ron.
If he is that volatile, what would prevent him from a physical altercation with Misty?
