also misty keeps bringing up the pee blanket, she was there on sunday night why wait to wash it monday night…

The van must have been in satsuma on Monday because Mistys blanket was in it. She states it was in the van they took in her stress test.
That has me stumped too why would her blanket be in it, this is all too weird at times but I am sure the PO PO know more and they will get to the bottom of it all soon. Oh yea is it just me or does anyone find it odd that everyone claims joe took the gun and then tommy steals a gun later hmmmm.

I have to ask someone if this cousin is so terrible why would Mistys brother and his wife let him stay with their little kids and them for several weeks. This whole case and the people involved make my head spin. Hope Haliegh is found and whoever took her is brought to justice. Also I find it odd that no one has come forth for the reward. With the economy and job losses people are really hurting for any kind of money, so no one must know anything except the one or ones that will go to jail for this. jmo

gatorgirl, I agree the father is hurting too. I don’t know the circumstances as to why he hadn’t seen his kids but I am sure he is so sorry & regretful that he didn’t. No matter what a parent has regrets when something happens to their child.

Treece,
Very true it isnt Diena fault. She was a mom who worked, her kids walked home there are alot of single moms that has to work full time and kids are key latched children. I am one of them but right now I am on medical leave. But when I was working I do know there are two other parents that wait up at my son’s bus stop and he takes his cell phone with him to let me know when he gets home from school of course my son is 13 yrs old but it doesnt matter.
For her to quit working at her job is all understandable I am sure she will be over protective with the other two children which is all natural as well. Things like this we dont know if it would still have happened if she did things differently that we all cant answer. I just pray and hope that she allows herself to heal and pray that she allows God to help her through this cause He is the only person that can get her through this. I pray that they find this idiot who did this to this precious child I hope we can find him before it happens to another child.

My thoughts and prayers are with Diena and her family even Somer’s dad. He seemed to be hurting as well no matter what was going on in the divorce. I am not sure if he was or wasnt there for his children but he is still their father and hurt as well.

Praying that Haliegh is found and brought home.. Prayer for all missing children and their families.

Police search for second suspect in girl’s disappearance
Mario Andrette McNeill.

Posted: Today at 1:53 a.m.
Updated: 11 minutes ago

Fayetteville, N.C. — Authorities are searching a second suspect in the disappearance of a 5-year-old Fayetteville girl, police said Thursday.

Police said Shaniya Nicole Davis was seen at a Sanford hotel on Tuesday morning with 29-year-old Mario Andrette McNeill.

A hotel worker called police on Tuesday to report seeing a child matching Shaniya’s description, according to Theresa Chance, spokeswoman for the Fayetteville Police Department.

Surveillance video showed the child with McNeill at the hotel at 6:11 a.m., less than a half-hour before she was reported missing from her family’s home at 1116-A Sleepy Hollow Drive in Fayetteville.

McNeill had checked out by the time police arrived to the hotel, Chance said.

We never know. Diena Thompson has a strong personality and when she heals up some she may just be another John Walsh in some way speaking for the innocent, being a child advocate.
Another reason I understand her quitting her job is she couldn’t let her kids walk home or come home alone ever again. She is not divorced by the dad has been gone a long time. He hadn’t seen the kids in over 2 years and hadn’t even talked to them on the phone for a few months. I guess she was doing what she thought she had to do. My heart breaks for her. My kids are grown and I have regrets about mistakes I made with them. But no regret could ever compare to her wishing she had done things differently that day. It is not her fault that an insane animal took Somer. I pray they find him soon.

Karon, I understand what you were saying early that you don’t want people to look at Somer Thompson’s mom and think they can make money off of losing a child. You have a point some sick o could think like that. It is beyond me how there could ever be enough money to be worth my child but we do know some people like Casey Anthony don’t value their children like that. I don’t think you have to worry about Diena Thompson looking at this as a money maker. I think she is pouring herself into everything she can do to keep people looking for this pervert. I think she is motivated to do the very last thing she can do for Somer to bring her killer to justice. Even more than that I think she is motivated to stop this mad man before he gets another innocent baby.

I’d be interested to hear Where the van was , what time it was last seen parked, and who had keys/ access to the van and who it was really registered to. Anyone else?

Yep i think your right Lawshrink, But i’m still wondering why Chelse says ” your” van to misty if its really Lindseys. And thank I did not know Chelsea lived that much farther way. But Joe still could have made the 10 miles or so trip.. Thats not that far to steal a gun or whatever he was going after in the mobile home.

By: Lawshrink

Lawshrink — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:21:49 +0000

Lindsy owns the van Chelsea borrowed it Joe was staying with Chelsea. Misty only barrows the van, from time to time.
Chelsea lives in cresant city, Lindsey live one street over.

If they could secure the area of the dump where the Feb 10 th pickups were dropped I bet she’s there. After 10 months thats a lot to look through but not all would be dumped in one location all at once. There’s still a chance!

By: mel22

mel22 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:18:30 +0000

i beleive Timmy and chelsea also lived very close down the street same as Tommy and Lindsey did just a differnt street but within very close distance to the mobile home. He was probably the one who dumped her in the trash bin and got picked before LE secured the next pickup on the 14th. So she probably did make it to the dump on the Feb 10th pickup. I know thats tough news , not trying to offend but thats what looks like to me.

I noticed that too, sometime ago… I believe she just mixed up her words in retelling the conversation. But there’s a article here that reads like it’s Misty’s van. I thought it was her brothers.

By: mel22

mel22 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:12:15 +0000

That puts Joe o. over at Timmy and chelseas and chelsea saying that he took the van that she was using but was in all actuality Misty’s (or rons) by registration. Must’ve let them borrow occasionally!MIsty implicates him and without naming names sounds like Chelseaq is pointing her finger at him.. Thats two against one on his crediblity and accessibility to the items in question on the night of the kidnapping!

That same girls goes on to say ” No , Misty, I did not take ” your” van. So who’s van is this anyway.. Is it registered to Ron and Misty or Timmy and Chelsea? I dont have the vid but its easily findable but I dont know how to post links sorry, but listen to those words closely when you find it. ” No Misty. I did not take ” YOUR” van !”

By: mel22

mel22 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:01:22 +0000

No, I ” believe” he was staying with the other sister-in law Timmy and Chelsea not tommy and lindsey. Not completly positive though. But one of them also staes that the van was taken by “whoever” was staying with them and said she had an idea who might be involved. I think thats big news from an insider and one with much more credibility than the others

Im not saying he preplanned taking haleigh but after realizing she was “left” there and now she saw him ,then he grabbed her, put her in the van and disposed of her, then Skipped town like ” SEEEE Ya!”

By: mel22

mel22 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:28:20 +0000

in other words.. i don’t think it was just happenstance when he broke in.. I think he planned the breakin according to times and schedules of ron being at work and knew the items available to use around the yard .. I once had a ” so-called friend” who opened up the lock on my bathroom window while using the toilet. then later after i left for 2nd shift , snuck in through the window and took 300 dollars from my stash in the bedroom.. once police arrived and took fingerprints and they advised me they had a match .two weeks later he was caught and ended up being the guy i knew.

The modus operandii of that guy i heard on other forums may be heresay but if its true it makes the case fit perfectly to LE description and the fact they cant get misty to ” finish the timeline”.. in other words she wont say she was gone which for some reason stumps them.. he still couldve broke in while she was sleeping.. so isnt there still too much probable cause against him?

By: cent

cent — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:19 +0000

Treece,

No prob… in fact you were/are very on point!!
I just see no need to go there. Actually I believe that is why a number of people don’t come forward about abuse, they CAN NEVER live it down!!!

Mel22,
I think that was stated on tv, also, in the beginning when cousin Joe’s name came up (M.O.)

By: mel22

mel22 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:54:05 +0000

if he has a rap sheet that LE can look at and has an MO style of using bricks isnt that some MAJOR probable cause! non-stranger ..has same MO as what happened.. fits LE’s description perfectly of what they’re looking for. If Misty reveals that she was gone I think they have him. Its just a matter of misty admitting she was gone and facing a neglect /leading to death charge. She’s not gonna do herself like that, so isnt the MO and being an insider known to Haleigh not enough probable cause to bring him in. Then they can just give misty immunity from the /leadiong to death charge for her testimony about partying!Or do I sound like I am speculating too much.?

By: mel22

mel22 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:45:18 +0000

This is just heresay but i’m telling you in advance so no one can say i was trying to start a runor but ….. I have heard previously That the cousin Joe O.’s MO(modus operandi ) in previous breakins was to use a brick to prop open doors.. Then suddenly He’s gone to Tennessee like quick (that same say).. anyone else heard this.. Whats your thoughts. What made LE clear this guy? I saw one of those siter in laws of misty say I “think” i wouldve heard him get up in the night but its possible but then said but almost positive couldnt have left that night without her knowing. If shes in a differt room sleeping and the guys ” sneaky” quiet i’m sure he could leave and return later unnoticed. Woul’ve been an insider who could’ve turned the deadbolt earlier in the day then came back when knew misty was gone partying and Ron was working.

pinkey32, I know that sometimes injustice happens from fear that justice won’t come out. I am sorry for the wrong done to you. This was an extreme case. He took a plea, forfeiting a jury trial, when he was a minor charged as an adult. What I read about this case it was heinous and I believe had it gone to trial the sentencing would have been much more severe. Regardless, of that when we don’t know all the facts, using the crime against the victim is just wrong. Again, I am sorry you were not done right. I know that is hard to take. Treece

Whatever happened to Misty in the past is NOT really our business… I can understand that it may lend some insight into her frame of thinking… But she was a MINOR… afford her some Dignity… be respectful of that incident.

By: m2c

m2c — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:31:38 +0000

Pinkey: Some locks are extremely easy to pick. I saw it done right in front of my eyes one time on a lock that was pretty good. I’d think at least as good if not better than whatever Ron had.
Also SOs have been known to go in the back earlier in the day/eve or thru a window and hide until everyone went to sleep. Abductions when the family is home HAVE happened.
When we look at the type of people around poor little Haleigh - on both her parents’ sides and Misty’s family (i.e. Tommy in particular) and a lot of people in that area it would not surprise me at all if someone else took her.
I just don’t have enough evidence to be able to say that Ron or Misty did it.
It is possible one or both of them are lying but not necessarily about what happened to Haleigh.
Ron could have been running around getting rid of drugs, being sure Misty didn’t have any that she hadn’t told him about, checking to see if his guns and other carp were still there and he sure isn’t going to tell LE he was doing that.
So to me there are still too many other ways to look at this.

By: treece

treece — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:19:30 +0000

tobias, I agree Misty has done things to make herself look bad. I think you will probably agree also that it is more than a child’s fault when they didn’t finish elementary school. “Adults” have a huge responsibility for failing Misty. I think her parents, the school system, LE and probably a number of other people didn’t do what they should have in her life. However, that does not justify her behavior if she is hiding info about Haleigh. You may be correct that she is hiding the info that would lead to Haleigh. I think no one knows what or if she knows anything. I understand your frustration. I think you understand mine. I just don’t think a previous crime against her is anything to stir up here. I don’t want you to feel like you can not post here but please do so respectfully. Have a nice evening. Thank you, Treece

First of all I don’t necessarily believe PCSO’s conclusion that this is a non- stranger abduction. Also, I would like LE to define what exactly they mean by that. A lot of people aren’t exactly “strangers” but aren’t family either (or even REAL close to the family).
I think they came to that conclusion way to soon. And we can’t be blamed for doubting them. If they have proof of some kind that they are holding back - that’s their right. But they’ll have to take the heat in the meantime because I am still open to a lot of other theories.

I’m sorry, Tobias, but trying to turn it around to have us believe that you think that Misty - being a victim of an SO - should have been able to recognize one on sight (and therefore have another reason to make her look bad or be responsible for what happened to Haleigh) is absolutely ridiculous. You’re still making HER pay the price for being a victim.
It is VERY difficult for anyone to know who an SO might be - EVEN a victim of one.

PCSO has said this is a non stranger abduction so unless some close friend or family member is a RSO this whole discussion is moot.

tobias, you “just wonder”, you “guess misty has…”, you don’t even know the story of what happened but you are saying all this crap. He was a minor also and his violent crime was so bad he was charged as an adult. It repulses me for anyone to make light of a rapists. You obviously don’t have a clue the horrific damage that sexual abuse does. Again I ask what does this have to do with Haleigh? Why bring this up?

m2c — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:16:57 +0000

tobias, those records are sealed because the victim was a juvenile. So none of us know anything about it so I really don’t think we should speculate. Also, since a plea deal was accepted that means there would not necessarily have been a trial at which anyone would testify.
And if the accused was a juvenile, too, wouldn’t that have meant serving at a juvie facility for a few years until he was 21 instead of 8 years?
This is ALL just speculation and the ONLY purpose in discussing it is to throw even MORE mud on Misty who is already covered in it.
It’s just not right and it’s not necessary.

He was 16 years old. I guess that would make him older than Misty. I could less what the little freak has to say and he’s in jail for a violent crime and forever a SO.The SA didn’t put him in jail on just the word of a 13 YO. If she was raped and beaten up there is also physical evidence.

I really don’t understand the “since everyone around Misty gets thrown in jail.” Since when has Misty been the LEADER of other teens (men and/or women) and been the influence behind their crimes (drug use/theft etc). This is nonsensical. The people who have gone to jail - Amber, Nay-Nay, Tommy, Chad etc. were perfectly capable of commiting the crimes necessary to get there all by themselves.

justmeonly and Lawshrink - Normally I’d agree about holding a benefit event in Haleigh’s area but after learning that there aren’t even any posters up who there cares enough to even attend?

Pinkey - Jail vs probation I can kind of understand but a plea deal for EIGHT YEARS!?
That was a DEAL?
I really do think that no matter how ill anyone thinks of Misty now that raking this up is really going too far.

tobias - Yes, certain IMO misguided people have actually written to him in jail and of COURSE he says he’s innocent! Of sexual assault and battery on a 13 year old girl. I don’t think so.
Not if he took a plea and still got what was it? Eight years in prison? It takes more than a young girl’s word to get that kind of time. LE had to have the goods on him. Why bring that up?
That’s a case involving a minor for pete’s sake.
A 13 year old.

Treece i agree mayb jeremy is a rapist.However I myself was accused of a crime that I really did’nt committ,and yes I took a plea.I really didn’t do what I plead guilty to.I plead guilty bcuz my lawyer said it looked like i was guilty and if i didn’t take the plea bargin i may get a jail sentence verses probation.Being older now,would i do it again?….yes bcuz the system isn’t always just and fair.Things aren’t always the way they seem

tobias, come on, don’t try to justify a rapist!!!
jeremymiller is the last person who should get a voice or vote in anything to do with Haleigh. He confessed - he took a plea - get real - NO ONE would do that if they were innocent. Why even bring him up? What does it have to do with Haleigh?

Just wondering, the anonymous lady who paid off Crystal’s back child support arrears was from Texas. Supposedly her first name was Barbara. Could the reason and location be because she also donated her ranch for the concert? Coincidental all the big money and big donation of ranch property comes from Texas, where no apparent affiliations to the families exist. Weird. I realize the Watkins band is from Texas, but as far as I know it wasn’t their property or affiliated.
==============
Barbara is from around Houston and the concert was around Austin. No connection

Season is coming down here and there will be more than 74.2 million people will be down here to visit. Now is the time to really start passing out Flyers and letting people know we have two children who are missing from this state that need their help.
Hey you know what, I think I will have the concert / Dance / for missing Adji too.

Lawshrink — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:26:22 +0000

Yes “justmeonly,” I was calling all the places in Putnam, Satsuma, and Baker County.
They all have issues about a benefit there. I would want the funds to go to finding Haleigh for sure!!

By: justmeonly

justmeonly — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:17:05 +0000

I think that if we could do a concert in the area of Satsuma or Bker County then it would prduce a much bigger crown and all the proceeds should go for the reward money to find HaLeigh…or perhaps to pay a private PI to go investigate undercover……there has to be a way to find out what happened to HaLeigh….someone knows, she didnt just dissapear, God Bless HaLeigh!!!

By: Lawshrink

Lawshrink — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:11:15 +0000

I have been in contact now with several places up there to find a place to have a benefit concert and dance and guess what, I seem to do really well, and then when they ask me what it is for all sorts of problems crop up for them. This really makes me wonder what is up in this county.

Just a thought since everyone involved with misty ends up in jail has anyone ever thought to talk with jeremiah miller? you know the guy that got locked up because he supposedly had contact with misty when she was 12 or 13, the one that got put in prison… He probably could tell us alot about misty and how her mind works I believe he was thrown under the bus along time before all of this mess jmo

I think they want this to go away and that is why we havent heard anything. They arent profiting and this isnt going to turn out like they hoped so they are wanting it to go away. I hope I am wrong but I feel that they are more worried about their own lives and not halieghs anymore….jmo

VirginiaTwo, I so agree with you Diena Thompson should not be judged. It is true everyone grieves differently. I can see her thinking is that she is going to do everything she can do to help find this killer. I would focus my energy on that, thinking the more I pushed the better chance of saving another innocent child.

As far as the theory that Ron & Misty are together on a cover up and agreed to lie to LE etc. That doesn’t make any sense to me that they would divorce in the middle of this if they have a story to hide. JMO.

Gatorgirl, I am sorry for you losing your baby and I am so glad you were able to channel your pain into a positive. Your efforts may very well save lives.

You know what, even despite the fact that Walmart cannot put her picture up because the family has not signed the release to do so, and people magazine can’t put her in their magazine because the family won’t return their calls. I am (as I speak) printing out 25,000 flyers of her missing poster and I am going to post them in every wayside, Truck stop, fast food restaurant , Back of moving trains, busses and Long haul trucks till the day they find her!!
Someone has to be there to fight for her return. Seeing how her family is not.

One of Mistys buddys from the drug buy gone wrong was just arrested. Melinda Satamyer is in jail check it out on putnam county jail logs. Hope she has some info that misty may have let out by mistake…. funny how everyone who comes in contact with these people end up getting arrested.. bad karma maybe

I don’t understand it, Lawshrink. Maybe bloggers ARE the only people who are still looking for and care about Haleigh? Unbelievable!

By: Lawshrink

Lawshrink — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:17:13 +0000

In addition, you go to the Putnam Sheriffs website and all they have is a picture of Haleigh and a link that brings you to crimestoppers then you have to dig to find out the information about her case. In addition, most missing children’s families put more than one picture of the child, a different view of her.

By: m2c

m2c — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:04:30 +0000

Hi, Lawshrink!
That is very interesting about Haleigh’s poster -not being anywhere. Some months ago a blogger here drove thru that town and did not see any posters. But when they left a comment about it someone claiming to be local said it was a lie.

Maybe there were some posters when she first went missing but obviously NO ONE is keeping up with that. How hard would that be? What is the HBCenter for? Isn’t Crystal from a big family that could hang them up? Not to mention neighbors in the area. Even if people don’t like one or the other family, so what? A kid is missing.
At the very least wouldn’t you think LE would help keep posters up? Unbelievable!
Also I remember hearing long ago - completely unrelated to the concert thing (I think) that Crystal’s family had Texas connections. That’s one reason why I hoped LE would closely scrutinize the miraculous payment of the back child support.
I’m not saying the concert was an intentional scam. I think it was doomed to failure and should have been cancelled. I don’t really know why it wasn’t. Sam W seems to have known no one was going to be there. Unless contracts were made with the band or videographer or something. But in SW’s work he should have insurance for cancellation and things.

Anyway, it’s a shame that her own “home town” area seems to WANT to forget Haleigh, don’t you think?

By: Lawshrink

Lawshrink — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:10:13 +0000

M2C, True, True. They would not give me any information, I had just asked one question why they had not put her in there, and their only response was they did not return phone calls. Therefore, any scenario could be true.
I also went to Walmart and asked why she was not displayed with all the other missing children on the wall when you first walk in to the store? They stated no one in the family came in to ask if it could be displayed. They have to ask walmart and sign papers to have it done. Nowhere in Florida is her poster displayed.
One more thing, Chrystal’s Face book page has several people she knows in Texas.

m2c — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:30:57 +0000

Morning, Lawshrink!
I understand what you are saying but consider the beating that the family has received by the public. How could they know that ALL the magazine wanted was a photo? Maybe the mag wanted to interview them too? If they’d said yes to that they’d be villified just as they are for essentially saying no.
It’s at a point where no one in that family can do (or not do) anything without scathing hate-filled criticism.

The situation might be worth a closer look though - like who exactly did the mag contact? What message was left? Did the family member tell a lawyer about it? How much time did the family member have to respond?

So yes, on the surface it looks bad but I’d like to know the answers to those questions before deciding about it.

By: Lawshrink

Lawshrink — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:55:31 +0000

No, I tried to contact them with no luck. It was more than just two tickets worth.

Another question, people magazine is featuring” missing without a track,” Haleigh is not featured.

I called the Magazines and asked why not, they stated the family would not return their phone calls.

Why would they not want her picture on the cover of this magazine??

People should not second guess other people in the decisions they make. I mean this in a nice way, but it really is none of our business whether someone quits their job or not. Diena Thompson is a very open interpersonal human being. It seems Somer was alot like her Mom. However, just because Diena Thompson has shared her feelings publically, this does not give anyone license to put every decision she makes under a microscope and criticize her. Come on. Let’s all get off her back.

I have read some really mean and hideous criticisms of this lady on other blogs lately. I am sickened and angry about the callous and judgmental hearts out there. Instead of tearing this woman apart with rankor and hate, let’s look for the good in her and lift her up. She is at the lowest point in her life. Let’s not finish her off like a pack of wild animals who kill their wounded. We are human beings capable of compassion and kindness: we minister to our wounded. Don’t we?

There are some things I really like about Diena Thompson. She seems to have a gift for communication - she does it well; she is a grateful person and shows her appreciation. She admits her faults. She is personable and friendly.

Please do not let the fact that this is a strongly interpersonal lady (who does much of her thinking and working things out in conversation with other people), lead you to decide she is seeking the limelight. This is the way she is made, and there is nothing wrong with that. She is grieving publically, because so many people responded with concern about Somer. Diena felt a link or bond with the public who cared so much about her baby, so naturally, she discusses her grief and her thoughts with us.

Please Google or Bing Interpersonal Intelligence or Interpersonal learning style to learn more about it. Thank you for reading this and considering what I am saying here.

Well now is this not something,finally something came out that seemed okay.Yet not so okay.what a shame that concert wasn’t billed right and shame on all the TV and Radio station that did not help.Just think such a great group and a meaningful cause they were trying to support.I have only one thing to say to Sam Watkins and his band;Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing something so kind.God Bless You and yours.Hope that they can come to Florida and do a concert and hope that it will be a big one with a lot of support.Hope I can be there.Haleigh is America’s sweet heart and we love her.Thanks Simon for clearing this one up for us all.And as far as where the money came from to pay the back child support came from,who’s ranch,and it being from Texas,why is people harping on it,the people of Texas has hearts as big as that state,thank them,and what the heck Ron got his money so that should make him happy,and now he wants more from whom ever he can get it as long as he don’t have to work for it.He never wanted to work or he would of called and talked to his boss.And as for Somer’s mom hope and pray she can find way to ease her pain and hold her other children close and although she has lose her little girl just know her other children are still her and need her so much more now than before as they too have lost their sister,God loves them all.People please don’t make her hurt worse.

m2c,
Obviously I was stating that we shouldn’t be suggesting what people should or should not do while grieving, unless of course, you are trailer park trash (meaning the whole Haleigh clan). They have acted like idiots since that poor little girl has been missing. Isn’t this blog about Haleigh or did I miss something. My point is that this Karen person on here has a hard on for what Somer’s mom is doing about work. Leave her alone.

PS: When Misty called LE, I wonder what Ron was doing staying in the house. Shouldn’t he be outside searching with a flashlight calling out for Haleigh? I know he was hysterical, but he was able to search inside the house for her.
