Man, this case haunts me. And I know that Misty was clearly making a lot of poor decisions - it just drives me insane that while ALL THIS was going on, no one ever mentions that Misty was a 17 year old kid - and was clearly also a victim here as well. I'm also certain they got married bc she was 17 living with a 25 year old, and started catching heat for the whole minor adult situation. A "marry your rapist law" situation...
If the house had other bedrooms in the house and 2 baths y did they all sleep in the one room low to the ground sounds to me his work is not all that honest and they had the kids sleep with them on the floor incase they got shot at and in fear of some one they crossed
I thought the same thing, she was a really good 911 operator. With some of these other 911 calls in these cases they would have probably hung up on them.
The point is that op is implying that trusting a 17 year old to take care of a 5 year old is basically just asking for something bad to happen. In reality a lot of people start babysitting at 14-16 and are trusted to take care of kids that age all the time, and in some situations late into the night. Let's be honest, the actual problem op has is that the 25 year old father was dating a 17 year old, just like pretty much everybody else in the comments.
I looked up the age of consent for FL because I was thinking this was probably legal...in NY 17 is the age of consent and in some states it's even younger. It's actually 18 in FL! Regardless, a 25 year old man with a high school aged girl, especially getting her to take care of his kids is messed up.
@@maddie8415 Ah it’s 18 in NY, I’m not sure why it says that on google because nobody here is allowed to do anything at 17 (adult wise) until your 18. But you’re still right 100% it’s gross regardless.
I was so weirded out by her saying haleigh was like "her own daughter" when she's been dating this dude for 2 months... idk sounds like an over exaggeration for pity
Don't get me wrong. I agree that she probably knows something. But polygraphs are incredibly unreliable and inadmissible in court for a reason. As someone with anxiety, I know I would fail a polygraph because of it.
Polygraph tests do not measure a persons anxiety or stress. They measure a response in part of the brain that controls “thinking.” And the part of the brain that measures memory. The thinking/storytelling part of the brain would give a big reaction. When they should get a reaction in the memory part of the brain. Polygraph tests are actually VERY reliable. I would need to look it up, but it’s over 95%. They are only not admissible in court because they are not 100% accurate. Any testimony or evidence HAS to be 100% accurate! You have to prove without a doubt to find someone guilty. Anything less than 100% leaves doubt and can not be used as evidence.
@@Crazydoglady444 That is not accurate. I would love to know your sources. First, polygraphs have absolutely NOTHING to do with measuring anything with the brain. Polygraphs measure heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and skin conductivity (sweating). A simple Google search will confirm this for you. The idea behind a polygraph is that people will have a physical reaction to lying. Hence, a person with anxiety is more likely to have unreliable results. Although baseline questions help monitor and account for ordinary stress levels, it is much less than 95% effective. Second, polygraphs are inadmissible because they are not generally accepted in science. That is the legal standard to be admitted. (See Federal Rules of Evidence). Plenty of less than 100% reliable evidence is admissible. For example, a psychiatric diagnosis based on DSM criterion. These diagnoses are not 100% reliable, but are admissible because it is a methodology which is generally accepted by the field. Science can never be 100% certain or accurate. So the law asks only whether it is widely accepted as a methodology in the field. Polygraphs are not.
@@shawneenpady9049 she could have failed because of her low iq/influence of drugs. Maybe if she is innocent, she was hoping these polygraphs would clear her. I’ve heard of cases of people failing polygraphs even though they were innocent. It’s interesting lol
That is my NIECE, and you could not be more wrong. My husband is her dad’s cousin(so really she’s his second cousin, but she called him her uncle). She has a family that loves and misses her SO much. You could never understand how this feels, and then to have idiots who know nothing about any of it, making videos like this, and leaving comments like these? It’s torture. You people need to stop judging people based on what you see on the news and internet.
Stephanie Campbell She has BOTH sides of her father’s family that love her very much and her FATHER loves her very much(along w her mother’s family). Of course we want her found! Smfh
Honestly you need so much patience to be a 911 operator because people are usually so upset and frantic (understandably so). So it’s probably one of the most difficult jobs, I have so much respect for them
Same. I'm sorry, but I don't like that father. "Fuck her date of birth?" They're trying to help you. I know people get stressed and may not always be super polite, they may yell or sound exasperated which is understandable, but to be an outright jackass to someone that is trying to help you sits the wrong way with me.
The courts are effed... The mother could've simply been in a program to stop drugs and the courts will treat that the same as a heroin addiction so they'll punish that parent.
The court system seriously needs to change. She should have been removed from BOTH parents due to their drug use and neglect. They are partially to blame for her death as far as I am concerned.
Could you do a video where you revisit the missing persons cases you've covered over the last few years with updated developments? Like one 40 min video where you briefly look and let us know if theres new leads/ convictions? I know you've done a heap of cases but it would be a cool look back and bring those cases back to the publics attention! Love your videos, watched since beauty vlogger times, happy birthday also!
I feel personally attacked 😂😂😂 my name is Crystal from Florida but I’m not no baby mama im a mother 😂 my husband ever calls me his baby mama he’s getting the 👋
Maybe Misty actually did leave the kids alone that night because 17 year olds on drugs do stupid things. Maybe she left the door unlocked to get back in and Haliegh woke up before she got back. Maybe she thought Misty was outside having a smoke. If she walked out the door to look for Misty or her dad in the middle of the night, so many things could've happened. She could've wandered off and got lost, she could've been abducted by a malicious opportunist, she could've fallen into a hole and injured herself for all we know. It reminds me of the time my almost 5 year old did something similar. She never leaves the house without an adult, but there was one morning when she woke up and couldn't find me in my room (i was in the bathroom) so she went to check outside because she panicked and thought she was alone. I'm sitting on the toilet at 5 AM and I hear the front door unlock and open **cue heart attack**, so I rush out to see what's going on, and she's in the front yard looking for me by herself in the dark. She hated the dark, but she hated being alone more, so she decided to go search for me. That being said, I think it's definitely a possibility in this case that Haliegh left the house on her own. Especially since there doesn't seem to be any evidence that something happened in the house, nor evidence of a clean up. The parents are clearly hiding something, but it's hard to tell if they're hiding a death, or neglectful parenting and drug activity. Or both. I don't know, I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall at this point. No matter the circumstances, it's just tragic. I hope they find that beautiful baby and bring her home soon.
Well said. Seems very likely that's why Misty can't settle a story. She definitely knows it's HER fault, but she has no idea where that poor little girl is. If the story of Misty taking her to a party was true, then that just makes me wonder where she left Ronald Jr. during that time. Whichever story might be true, every version paints her into a corner.
I agree that she could’ve wandered off by herself probably trying to find someone. My old history teacher who is an ex cop told us a story of a little boy who got out of his crib, unlocked the door and began to wander outside. This was on Christmas. Luckily he wasn’t really alone, the family dog was with him. But when my teacher found him, the kid was only in a diaper and is 2 at the time. When my teacher asked why he was by himself, he said he had to tell Santa thank you for the presents. My teacher did bring the kid home safely but the parents had no idea he had gotten out and that he was missing.
Lauryn Elizabeth I did the same. My mom and I were two hours from home visiting family and I woke up in the middle of the night, thought I couldn’t see my mom, and went outside because I thought she was smoking. Luckily my aunt caught me.
i know it’s so sad.. i feel like they are more child abuse/ missing kid cases and i’m praying for those children that are going through those situations.❤️😢
Melanie M It’s awful. Parenting 101; put your kids first. If you can’t, find someone who can and will. It breaks my heart that there are so many children mistreated, abused, and killed. 😢
On that 911 call, misty didn’t sound concerned, she sounded scared, like a “my boyfriend is losing his shit, I did something with his daughter and now I have to cover my tracks” type of scared. Her dad sounds like how I would sound honestly. Someone does something to my child and it’s game over for them 🤷🏼♀️ what an awful story. I hope they find her and can put her to rest.
I agree, I used to suspect him but he sounds like he's losing his mind on that 911 call. He sounds authentic. But I don't understand how he covered up for Misty so fast either.
Hali Shields yeah, when the dispatcher asked her how the door looked (I can’t remember the specifics) but, her response was “no” (I think) but, the way she said it made it seem like she screwed up or something like that 🙃
I remember this case very well. In one of the initial media interviews, she said she “looked under all the beds…” searching for Hayleigh. Uhhh-mattresses in the floor. There were no “beds.”
I was actually thinking that soon as Kendall said her age, I was just like "imagine your stepmom/dad's girlfriend only being 12yrs older than you", awkward
So she couldn’t be with her mother because of her drug use but it was ok to be with her ‘father’ and his girlfriend who were both clearly on drugs too?!🤔 This was never going to end well for those kids.
She should have been put in care. Not the best idea but it’s better than being with those two. I fully believe any parent whether that is the mother or the father can care and raise children but sadly this little girl didn’t get that either way
Tbh some of the stuff they mentioned about her: shes a kid. Shes a literal child. Ronald shouldve never been with a kid, and she shouldve never been put in the position of being a mother while she was still an irresponsible child. This doesnt excuse her, but all Im seeing is a kid who got groomed & took on too much & the worst happened. Ronald is in part to blame.
Yeah I totally agree. It seems like something awful happened and they had to cover it up, Misty is a child herself, so there’s no “correct” way to discuss a child who’s gone “missing” especially being 17, but no excuses! They seem guilty as hell to me.
Some people grow up fast. Misty obviously was one of them. She wasn't an innocent child. Selling drugs & partying. She has something to do with this. I'm the same age as Misty I couldn't imagine harming a child especially at 17. She's trash. I'm glad they locked her up. She's pushing 30 now & still won't tell the truth. F her.
I agree but just to play devils advocate I do think at her age she is old enough and mature enough to make life decisions that put her in this situation. I’m not saying that to shame her but it’s not like she was 5 when she decided to take on all of her motherly responsibilities.
sophia lima im 17 as well.. im not saying i think their relationship was okay or right in any way, but 17 is not a child. or at least you havent been forced out of being a child.
When I was younger I used to think “it’s so crazy how people used to be able to get away with all kinds of crimes, but now it’s basically impossible with all this technology.” Now I’m older and I’m still shocked at these cases where obviously guilty people get away with it one way or another
The easiest way to get away with it is: killing people with no family/friends, leaving zero evidence and your lucky enough to get a jury that doesn’t care how much it makes sense they only want evidence, killing somewhere your just passing by like a trucker.
We are constantly propagandised by t.v. shows like FBI Files and a host of action movies to believe that the good guys always win. Sadly that is far from the case. Justice depends on the resources a small town has often times
I think Misty gave the children something to make them sleep, went to a party, came home in the middle of the night and found the little girl had overdosed and called those boys to get rid of the body. It explains why she'd be frantic on the phone as it was an accident, and also show that maybe she wasnt pulling things out of thin air, by saying that two lads took the body in a bag, maybe it was a half truth. Rest in peace to this poor girl, never let a child look after children.
You can be 17 and be a qualified care taker. If you’re theory is that she gave the children dr*gs to sleep and then went to party then I would say never let anyone watch your children without proper background checks
I’ve never seen a missing child case where I have absolutely hated every “adult” involved THIS much. These people are all complete scumbags. This is disgusting to watch.
Misty was 17 and sadly enough, if she had just confessed to it being an accident and made a deal, so they could locate her body...she probably would’ve gotten less time than she did for the drugs.
Yep and likely a Lot less time, 25 years is a lot. It almost makes me wonder... Like why stick to your story after all these years? But then again, she looks so dam guilty with all they have on her. Maybe she has lied so much she actually has convinced herself that she is innocent.
I know i probably shouldn't but i kind of feel bad for Misty she was basically a kid and was pushed into this step mother role not that it excuses her poor choices if the whole party statement is true but still she was old enough to be a big sister to Haleigh i think she bit off more than what she can chew entering this relationship Ronald honestly failed as a parent also its gross a 25 year old man like him would date a 17 year old girl
It's a tell-tale sign when the person calling 911 explains the scene before she mentions the child is missing. "When we woke up our back door was open, now we can't find our daughter." Like it's not her fault, it's the door's fault, she shifts the blame in her first words. Plus, she said she saw that the child was missing from her bed, and never looked for her any place else.
what a bad situation all around, a 25 year old man has no business being in a relationship with a 17 year old, and a 17 year old shouldnt be looking after two kids shes not even related to. poor haleigh.
12 years later, glad to see the attention Haleigh is still getting. 1.75M views from this video alone, since 2020. I'm in St. Pete and remember back when that all happened. Sadly I don't think we'll find her, but can never give up hope.
I lived in PVB at the time. Got into a fight with my bf and ended up in st John's County and saw Misty through the door. The other girls there said Misty brother and cousins took Haley because of guns and drugs. There was sexual assaults regarding this as well. The girls also said the cousin and brother took that baby and put her in the St John's. So disgusting!
can we talk about how this 27 year old smart and beautiful candle junkie has helped the youth by supporting Thorn and has helped many others thru her channel? HB Kendall!! 🎂😁
I found it weird that when they were asked why they decided to get married, the answer was “it’s what she would have wanted”. Whenever parents talk about their child as if they’re dead before even knowing what happened, it throws up red flags for me.
@Beth thats not true in Florida when its one of the spouses children. & im pretty sure you have to be married before the crime before the crime, for that to even come into play. Although those 2 probably thought that was true, & thats why they got married🤦♀️ Kendall talked up this in the beginning/middle of the video.
Eh, that is how I refer to people if I am not in contact with them, though. Not like they are dead, just unavailable at the moment, so I can't ask their thoughts/opinions. But yeah, these 2 and their families are giving all sorts of mixed signals.
@@allykulhmann508 that's a little bit different because they're talking about an event that's passed and speculating about whether you would have enjoyed it given you weren't there. A more comparable example would be your friends decide to go watch a film and say "it's what ally would have wanted" rather than "it's what ally would want". Its not beyond the realms of possibility, but it's just a bit odd
That live interview was weird AF... why did he cover the microphone and whisper something, and then tell her to look at the camera? She answered “I AM” all snappy like she was annoyed. Idk that rubbed me the wrong way. It had the same energy of a person that was instructing an accomplice to stick to the story.
I agree! In the 1st interview clip of both of them, I couldn't figure out if she was a child or adult at 1st. She just looks so small and young compared to him.
Yeah, there's something wrong with him. That's predatory. There's no reason for a 25 year old to be in a relationship or just messing around with a 17 year old. Sick.
To be fair she’s just said she was blonde - obviously the operator didn’t hear that but if you’d just said someone had blonde curly hair and then you were asked what colour, you’d probably be confused too
@@BubbaYak I honestly wasnt being mean about it just thought it was funny. But even if I was confused I wouldn't have said that I wouldve just asked what she meant by that.
@@stephanierose9577 Didn't that strike anyone as weird? "Fuck the date of birth." Like I get it.. you're upset and not thinking straight but is hanging up and or giving the only people trying to help a hard time going to make it go faster? Misty saying "I LOVED that girl like she was my own." It all feels off.
@@cutstheriver This was the weird part for me, for most parents it should be incredibly easy and quick to just say the DOB instead of getting indignant. Telling beaurocrats your kids DOBs is something most parents do like hundreds of time during their childhood, it should be like an instinct.
And, she has an illness, she’s probably at doctor offices and hospitals all of the time and almost always you have to give them your DOB so they no their checking in the right person
It’s so sad they haven’t found her yet. Haleigh’s cousin Lonzie Barton also went missing in a really similar way-in the middle of the night. But he was tragically found dead.
@@cellblocknine5385 maybe its the age of consent but no, a 17 year old is not an adult anywhere in the us unless they're emancipated which she was not because she needed parental permission to get married at all. Either way thats weird...why is a 25 year old dating a high schooler?
I thought it was weird that Misty didn't know Haleigh's date of birth. I also thought it was weird when Ronald covered his mic while being interviewed and told Misty to look at the camera. Idk that just stood out to me as a red flag.
Well she had only been with him 6 months she may not have known or only been told once. Not everyone can remember dates easily. The dad should have known though
Angel Nix what’s wrong if they don’t know their birthdate and what’s also wrong if he hid the mic and told her to look at the camera not hating I’m just confused
when the anthony family offered to help i got the chills. the similarities between caylee and haleigh's so-called "disappearances" are so heartbreaking, some parents just don't deserve to have kids.
Those candles are so reasonably priced. I’ve seen mass produced, basic candles cost $25-$40 dollars. Yet that company is making these super intricate, handmade, quality candles and selling them for $22? Thats honestly super reasonable. Edit* And it seems that the basic candles are $12-15. That’s so awesome!
Brianna Gordy I really want to purchase some but I’m worried about how they will arrive. I would imagine with them being so intricate, that they could be damaged easily during the shipping process.
First Last I’m sure they’d arrive fine. I’ve gotten candles like that and they’re usually packed super well. And if one did break or so,etching the company would refund you or replace it. Either way, you’d either get it replaced, get a refund, or it’d show up just fine. Since they ship a lot of them I’m sure they pack it really well.
Dude. This is alllll kinds of sketchy. At 16:22 you can hear him say, "look at the camera" and she says "I am." To me that suggests he is trying to get her to appear innocent and engaged in the interview instead of looking down or appearing nervous. Sketchy...
Thank You SO VERY MUCH for covering Haleighs case..I have been following it since the day she went missing. I’ve waited for ANYONE to give this story some attention...ESPECIALLY because someone..Probably a few people (misty croslin & her family) know what happened & where that precious girl went that night. I pray this coverage brings her story back into the spotlight. Thank You again! 🤍🙏🏻
I lived in jacksonville when this happened and i believe misty got rid of her bc she OD'd. And a few years ago poor little Lonzie Barton was killed by his mom and her boyfriend in Jacksonville and he was related to Haleigh. It brought a little attention back to Haleighs case but still nothing new. Its just all so sad.
This is my home tone. This story hunts our town. Every year they show it on the news. This little girl was so sweet and loved by everyone she come in contact to. My heart still brakes for her grandma. I hope before I die I see the day she is found and her grandma gets to rest.
augusta I have an ex who his baby mamma would sleep in the same bedroom with their 3 year old girl and her new boyfriend in the same bed. And that the new boyfriend would INSIST that the little girl sleep in between them 😤 Never liked that and legit would mention it to my boyfriend that that isn’t normal!
16:12 Omg he tried to cover his microphone and tell his girlfriend to look at the camera I'm sorry but that looked really strange and suspicious and she even said I am in a strange way.. it's like he was trying to tell her u got to look more convincing
Where were Misty's parents? When I was 17, I would have never been allowed to move in with anyone. Let alone a 25 year old grown man with 2 kids! I think she absolutely knows more than she's letting on. Could Haleigh have been traded for drugs? I hate thinking like that, but it happens.
That poor little baby was doomed from the start, she was surrounded by complete trash. Literally every single person in this video is rubbing me the wrong way
@@MsMaryPatricia yes we can lmao come on, tell me 100 percent honestly that everyone in this video didn't fail that baby....you can't because they're all trash and they failed her to the point where she is dead. That innocent child was definitely doomed from the start. Ill happily judge every single person that failed her. Especially misty.
So they think a 5 year old woke up, went to the back door, unlocked the deadbolt that was high up, went outside grabbed a cinder block, put it in front of the door, and left. ??? A little girl who was scared of the dark and strangers just wondered off?!? Wondered to where?? There is no way that happened. It shouldn’t have even been considered, considering she was 5 years old. Even if Misty didn’t unalive her or something, she was definitely involved. Also, Misty kept changing her story. 🤨
My theory is that Misty went to the party and brought someone home so she could by drugs, she didn’t have the money so the person took her as payment. That could also be the reason Robert Jr saw a black figure.
So many questions: Why are they all sleeping on the floor of one room when there's 3 bedrooms? If she went to a party that night and brought Haleigh with here, where was the 3 year old boy, at home alone? Wouldn't there be cellphone pings to show her location (can't recall what year this was)? She mentioned that her brother came over that night to retrieve ronalds gun, how did they clear the brother from any wrong doing?
My thoughts exactly. Usually when one parent is on drugs, the other is too, or has connections. Not a suitable environment for any child. Both children needed to be removed from both parents.
I mean when I was 17 I use to watch my younger siblings,they were very young and toddlers as well...so being 17 watching children has nothing to do it with...it's more she's 17 with a 25 year old watching his children and one goes missing
It's what You make it I only have a problem with it because she is guilty of something & him dating an underage girl. There are other 17 year olds that would be fine watching kids.
I know in some places there is kind of a grey area, where if the person is in a certain age range like 18-21 or something, it isn't illegal to be in a relationship with someone who is 17
@@PuertoRicanqueen90 Yeah but that is your SIBLINGS. Not a random person who has only known the children for 2 months and is a known drug user, etc. There's really no comparison. We all know that a trusted 17 year old would be fine around kids, but THIS situation is sketchy!!!
@@PuertoRicanqueen90 yes 17 isnt a bad age to babysit but the point is, she barely knew the kids and watching them overnight is a bit far considering they arent her own children
@@baharab7349 no we generally dont unless it's a missing person of extended years then we do at times like if its and unsolved case that's closed then we would use passed tense that make sense
Misty: My brother and cousin put Haley in a black bag and threw her in the lake. Also Misty: A black man came in our truck and told us that a group of Hispanic men had her and will bring her back when they get the money owed to them. Misty again: I don't know why people don't belive me and is turning on me!!
@@missiecombs4807 Oh I agree. Think waterboarding or pulling fingernails off with pliers..... But criminals today are treated more like victims unfortunately.
Joanna Zamora i do understand your perspective and respect it but a lot of young girls are forced to grow up at a young age . not all 17 year old girls are immature and incapable of child care .
@@sarahdavis5882 yeah you're right for other girls maybe cause it's their own children. They have to. But She has the choice to not live that life because she was only the gf. She could have walked away. Not even married yet. Should have been thinking more like adult with Haliegh that night
sarah davis that doesn’t make them any less of child. Even when forced to mature and care for other children. They still process things like a child of there age.
I am also wondering this? The mother was the "deadbeat" ... She was the one off doing drugs and partying! Any man who fights for custody, puts a roof over their head, food in their belly and participates in their life is NOT a deadbeat!
@@Nikki_81 He had his own place too, wasn't even living with his parents. What he's a dead beat because he worked nights while his kids were sleeping so he could spend time with them during the day? He was at work when this happened, not out partying. I don't get it.
I wouldn't say deadbeat but a bad parent. Why sue for full custody if you don't have the resources to take care of them? Why date a child when as a parent, you should focus on your children. Seems like a PSA on why everyone should practice safe sex.
I spent a whole summer at 13 watching my cousins at my aunt's house while she attended college. My cousins were 2, 3,5 and 6. It's not the age it's the maturity
Yes I understand where all you guys are coming from but you all just babysat your siblings, cousins you weren’t given the responsibility to raise them and be a mother figure to them like Misty was.
I'm so sorry to hear about any teenager who was robbed part of their childhood by being expected to put watching their siblings as 1st priority/responsibility.
Wow she “forgot” that her cousin came over and wanted a gun and then took hailey instead Wtf ok she guilty af this is something you don’t leave out if you truly are innocent ...:
I think she sold Hailey. Probably let someone in when she supposedly got up to go to the bathroom. I don’t know about the overdose theory. Is it common for addicts to give drugs to little ones? I’m convinced that the dad had nothing to do with it, based upon his reaction during this phone call. Otherwise he’s a phenomenal actor. The last one to see her alive is usually the guilty one.
@@hautemama85 Hell no it isn't common for addicts to give kids drugs!! Usually when kids overdose its an accident but never voluntary. Thats just not normal at all. :(
@@hautemama85 my ex's mom would make her kids smoke crack at a young age so they would not want to eat as much. I don't know if it's common however it may seem unthinkable but it is not. My ex was addicted at a young age because of his moms own addiction. Later that's what she gave him as an allowance for cleaning. Messed up.
Right?! Like, oh we’ve been looking for her for months and I’ve denied knowing a thing the whole time, but I just remembered I know exactly who took her and what they did! She is disgusting, literally throwing anyone around her under the bus to try to keep herself out of trouble. After they found out that was a lie how was she not arrested on the spot?! At least for lying to a police officer. It makes no sense! I feel like the police in charge of this case really dropped the ball. It’s crazy to me that she has failed multiple lie detector tests, a voice analysis test, and changed her story so many times and they don’t have some sort of a case against her! It’s sad.
Halyn Boyd if no one complains about the police aren’t going to do anything. Her parents signed off on her getting married. They were fine with it. The first time my husband got married he was 19 and she was 16. She was still in high school. She wanted to drop out but he wouldn’t let her. Her parents totally approved of it. They thought it was wonderful that she was getting married.
His whereabouts are interesting if you consider the fact that Misty was seen at a party with Haleigh miles away. It’s possible he was instructed to lie about seeing someone take her from the home.
Idk about all of this. It could have been the parents or step mom or extended family. But I can’t get it out of my head how this family would be a predators dream come true. Seriously, cracked out pill head parents. Violent unsteady dad. Moms off somewhere on all kinds of stuff. And there’s a 17 year old stoner girlfriend left alone with a 5 year old girl and 3 year old boy all night like, what, 3-5 nights a week? Jesus. Pedos are aware of this stuff. They know how to target the children who will be less likely to get them caught. All that being said, it could have been any of them.
Yes, this is unfortunately one of those situations where everything combined created a perfect storm & a disaster just waiting to happen. Those poor kids were born into a mess, and sadly, something horrible was bound to happen eventually to one or both of those poor kids. 😔
@@Pluto_Is_A_Planet_ yep 😔 You are so right and honestly I see it *constantly* these days.. my sister works at a daycare and I work with the general public.. the things we observe and witness.. I can't even begin to tell you what a nightmare parents can be.
Mother Hen of Damnifiknow Farms It baffles me how a mother could choose a man over her own child, a baby girl probably only four years old and you’re in a public place in a hotel and you’re not even worried about your child I don’t understand...

My 6 year old sister has Turner's Syndrome. This really makes it so much more sad for me, knowing Haleigh's slim chance of not being born stillborn and then having to pass away at so young after fighting so hard.
My daughter has Turners Syndrome as well. That’s what made me decide to watch this video. TS girls are little and fierce. I’m sure this little girl was not the exception. Poor baby.
I've noticed something in these true crime videos ...any time a person says " a black man" they are lying. They never describe any other physical characteristics...just " a black man". That girl knows what happened to that girl.
This is so important. There’s a history of usually white (and it also happens with other races) suspects or perpetrators who fall back on using fear of Black violence to deflect any suspicion towards their possible crimes.
yep! and it's horrifying how people so easily use black folks as the scapegoat. just perpetuates more racially fueled stereotypes and harms the black community.
She looks like a fifth grader in the interview where she is wearing a green jacket, the entire case she looks 12-14 it is so wierd to image her dating a dad with two kids, and taking care of those kids.
Tom Ash I’m thinking they got her on drug charges cause they couldn’t for the missing child due to lack of evidence. So I’m thinking they went hard on her for the drugs 🤷🏽♀️
Tom Ash you do realize you can’t just convict people with no evidence. Sure they probably did it, but you can’t just arrest people without evidence. There is absolutely no evidence to convict them for a crime.
proud of that judge. she knew misty was guilty but like Maddie said, they didn't have the evidence. I'm glad they got her for drugs and sent her ass away.
Valerie Familia yea it kind of reminds me of OJ’s sentencing after he got off of murder. Hopefully she admits to something in jail and helps the family get peace and bring this little girl home.
Dude they threw the maximum sentence for drugs at her because they couldn't get her for murder that's why. She wouldn't have gotten such a rough sentence had it been otherwise. But definitely agree out justice system is fucked. Like in some cases you would be convicted for less sand in other cases plenty of evidence doesn't count at all. Doesn't make sense
That wedding was so so so awkward. And they looked/sounded high during interviews. That poor child was screwed from the start with all these people. Her mom moved 2 hours away because he was on pills & abusive- but she was okay LEAVING HER CHILD WITH HIM smh.
The court will send a mother to jail for denying reasonable parenting time. I called the cops on my ex several times if I thought he was too intoxicated to take her and every time they would tell me that I can't deny him her if it's his weekend. I had to go through the courts to petition and was denied. I had to eventually contact CPS. It's so much more complicated being able to keep your child from the other parent than you would think. I was shocked when I went through it, as I wouldn't have believed it had I not lived it.
@@LauraVittadini I think it’s a very difficult issue to address legally as one of the main reasons this is enforced is due to extremely high rate of parents( usually mothers) that think once a relationship breaks down they have the right to deny the child/ren access to the other parent. Most of the time it is done from a malicious intent. If you have a relationship end and believe your child/ren are in genuine danger or at risk CPS must be notified and involved from the start, you cannot just deny your child/ren their right to a meaningful relationship with both parents just because you are angry or hurt. This is when the child/ren suffer much more than either parent.
OMG!!! Some RUclipsr made a Randonautica video and they actually went to that lake and they found bones!!! 😳 I just saw that video like a week ago these bones could be Haleigh Cummings bones!!!!!!!!! The RUclipsrs name is Sonny Deeds The video is called "app creator reveals the truth" Goo Watch it Peopleee!!!
It’s really, really sad and it seems like no one is really, truly concerned about that little girl, which is probably why she ended up wherever she ended up.
BrAtlynn T whats that supposed to mean Im from Florida and there has never been a missing persons case anywhere near us, barely in Florida compared to other places
I got my daughter and my mother hooked on your channel. I listen to your channel on my 4 mile walks each day..thank you for being so thorough and easy to follow. 👍💜
If misty took Haleigh to a party, where was Haleigh’s little brother, was he also there or did Misty leave him at home? and if she did leave him at home, why not also leave Haleigh at home as well? I think the party could be a theory but it seems odd that she would only bring one child. Also i can’t believe that a party full of people would just go along with dumping a child’s body and covering up an overdose, even if those people were misty’s friends. I would hope someone would have said something or done something.
I was thinking the same thing... maybe misty was at a party and left the doors unlocked and someone did come in and take her. I know there were no signs of forced entry so maybe the door was just unlocked. maybe someone they knew and maybe someone they didn't. I'm curious about fingerprints? maybe that's why they have ruled out abduction because their weren't any. either way this case made me so sad. I can't believe people are so awful, the mother crystal didn't even seem to care at all.
Jamie Ridolfo That’s what I was wondering. Only thing I can think of is maybe it wasn’t actually a party, like a small gathering so they were all just getting high and distracted and someone ended up taking her or something. Cause if it’s a full blown party I don’t understand how not one person said something idk. Still doesn’t make sense the boy wasnt with them if that’s true though?
This is my hometown and I’m glad she finally covered the case. I recommend it months ago and it def doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I remember the day this happened. My uncle (by marriage) was her cousin and I can’t say this is fact however most everyone in town believes she overdosed and the minty girls brother got rid of her body. That’s what I believe as well. I’ve heard it all from the family owing drug debt and giving haleigh up to clear debt to her being fed to alligators to cover their tracks. It’s so sad and will always stay with me. That town is so strung out on drugs though that I doubt anyone comes forward bc they all fear they will get in trouble in some way.
I just moved here a year ago bought a house here and it’s definitely bad in this area with the meth heads. I can’t believe they didn’t find her guilty.
That only works if you are married before the crime is committed. I think he did it for two reasons.. 1. So he wasnt introuble for her being under age.. 2. Keep your ememies close.
Having watched more than one niece and nephew when they were younger or overnight, I too have chosen to not use the closest bathroom so as not to disturb them. It's not that weird at least to me. Doesn't mean it can't mean more in situations like this, but again, when you don't want to wake the kids, using a bathroom even slightly further away is normal.
Married a month after she went missing??!!! How can you even think of planning a wedding whilst your 5 year old is missing
Ya that is super suspish.
why would they even want to have a wedding without Haleigh in the first place!!
Yup my thoughts exactly, I'd want to wait until she'd be returned to be part of it, she knows what happened
If your married you can’t testify against each other
So disturbing
the dad had a 17 year old girlfriend?!
Ok the GF being 17 is weird n wrong if u ask me
Right and no one is asking why
@@jessicahill6418 EVERYONE was asking why back in the day.
@Fern Alderton sorry but that is illegal and statutory rape. It's wrong
Younger is easier to manipulate.
A 25-year-old man dating a girl he probably met when she was 16 tells me everything I need to know. RIP to Haleigh. Poor baby never had a chance.
thank god for this sane reply/response.
I had to keep pausing the video because I kept getting hung up on that video
Omg yes! My immediate thoughts 😶
Man, this case haunts me. And I know that Misty was clearly making a lot of poor decisions - it just drives me insane that while ALL THIS was going on, no one ever mentions that Misty was a 17 year old kid - and was clearly also a victim here as well.
I'm also certain they got married bc she was 17 living with a 25 year old, and started catching heat for the whole minor adult situation. A "marry your rapist law" situation...
If the house had other bedrooms in the house and 2 baths y did they all sleep in the one room low to the ground
sounds to me his work is not all that honest and they had the kids sleep with them on the floor incase they got shot at and in fear of some one they crossed
One of the best 911 operators I’ve ever heard she stayed calm yet affirmative
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Yeah, I would've flipped
U watch jcs a lot?
I thought the same thing, she was a really good 911 operator. With some of these other 911 calls in these cases they would have probably hung up on them.
Yes she really was patient compared to some of the ass holes operators that I have heard.
This whole situation is a mess, why trust a 5year old with you 17 year old girlfriend that you’ve been dating for 2months????
Only 2 months?!? And the girlfriend said “my daughter”. So weird and suspicious
Some babysitters are younger then that when they care for kids, sometimes until night time.
Especially if she’s into the party scene and abusing illegal substances
The point is that op is implying that trusting a 17 year old to take care of a 5 year old is basically just asking for something bad to happen. In reality a lot of people start babysitting at 14-16 and are trusted to take care of kids that age all the time, and in some situations late into the night. Let's be honest, the actual problem op has is that the 25 year old father was dating a 17 year old, just like pretty much everybody else in the comments.
No other choice, he had to work.
I’m sorry I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that a father of two was dating a 17 year old?!?!? Wtf
Well it’s Florida
Honey Sundae HAHAH
Its florida
I looked up the age of consent for FL because I was thinking this was probably legal...in NY 17 is the age of consent and in some states it's even younger. It's actually 18 in FL! Regardless, a 25 year old man with a high school aged girl, especially getting her to take care of his kids is messed up.
@@maddie8415 Ah it’s 18 in NY, I’m not sure why it says that on google because nobody here is allowed to do anything at 17 (adult wise) until your 18. But you’re still right 100% it’s gross regardless.
I was so weirded out by her saying haleigh was like "her own daughter" when she's been dating this dude for 2 months... idk sounds like an over exaggeration for pity
and if she was her daughter that means she would’ve been pregnant at 11...
She just wants the same type of attention a mother gets when their child's missing..so weird!
I agree. Sad thing is, there have definitely been cases where a child has gotten pregnant at 11/12 🤦🏻♀️ so fucking messed up and sad
Luna Luxx u must be right! wow how sick ppl can be
she didnt even know her day of birth like wtf you would know your child's birthday.
Late here but a 17 year old with a 25 year old is in no way acceptable or okay. I hope that little girl can rest in peace.
So I understand the negativity of a 17 year old being with a25 year old but few years down older you are like me - hubby 9 years older than me
You don't fail 5 polygraph tests for NO reason! She knows more than she's saying
Don't get me wrong. I agree that she probably knows something. But polygraphs are incredibly unreliable and inadmissible in court for a reason. As someone with anxiety, I know I would fail a polygraph because of it.
@@heatherroehr2802 I agree. I guess I was saying that based on the whole story. Not just the tests
Yeah, they only have a 50/50 accuracy rate. A lot of the time people fail because they're scared, getting anxious, ect.
Polygraph tests do not measure a persons anxiety or stress. They measure a response in part of the brain that controls “thinking.” And the part of the brain that measures memory. The thinking/storytelling part of the brain would give a big reaction. When they should get a reaction in the memory part of the brain. Polygraph tests are actually VERY reliable. I would need to look it up, but it’s over 95%. They are only not admissible in court because they are not 100% accurate. Any testimony or evidence HAS to be 100% accurate! You have to prove without a doubt to find someone guilty. Anything less than 100% leaves doubt and can not be used as evidence.
@@Crazydoglady444 That is not accurate. I would love to know your sources.
First, polygraphs have absolutely NOTHING to do with measuring anything with the brain. Polygraphs measure heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, and skin conductivity (sweating). A simple Google search will confirm this for you. The idea behind a polygraph is that people will have a physical reaction to lying. Hence, a person with anxiety is more likely to have unreliable results. Although baseline questions help monitor and account for ordinary stress levels, it is much less than 95% effective.
Second, polygraphs are inadmissible because they are not generally accepted in science. That is the legal standard to be admitted. (See Federal Rules of Evidence). Plenty of less than 100% reliable evidence is admissible. For example, a psychiatric diagnosis based on DSM criterion. These diagnoses are not 100% reliable, but are admissible because it is a methodology which is generally accepted by the field. Science can never be 100% certain or accurate. So the law asks only whether it is widely accepted as a methodology in the field. Polygraphs are not.
polygraphs may not always be reliable but IF YOU FAILED FIVE THAT IS A SIGN
I agree
First off only a person with low iq would take 5 polygraphs 😂
def an indication lol
@@shawneenpady9049 she could have failed because of her low iq/influence of drugs. Maybe if she is innocent, she was hoping these polygraphs would clear her. I’ve heard of cases of people failing polygraphs even though they were innocent. It’s interesting lol
I dunno... I have stupid anxiety... I'd fail without a doubt no matter how many times you tried it 😂😂😂
Man it seems like nobody in the family wants to find that little girl..
Probably because they know she won’t be found. Disgusting!
You probably right sad shit
The dad is desperate tho
That is my NIECE, and you could not be more wrong. My husband is her dad’s cousin(so really she’s his second cousin, but she called him her uncle). She has a family that loves and misses her SO much. You could never understand how this feels, and then to have idiots who know nothing about any of it, making videos like this, and leaving comments like these? It’s torture. You people need to stop judging people based on what you see on the news and internet.
Stephanie Campbell She has BOTH sides of her father’s family that love her very much and her FATHER loves her very much(along w her mother’s family). Of course we want her found! Smfh
His girlfriend literally looks like a child sitting next to him.
She is lol

Because she was.

Honestly you need so much patience to be a 911 operator because people are usually so upset and frantic (understandably so). So it’s probably one of the most difficult jobs, I have so much respect for them
I think they are trained to calmly say calmy down. I couldn't do it.
Same. I'm sorry, but I don't like that father. "Fuck her date of birth?" They're trying to help you. I know people get stressed and may not always be super polite, they may yell or sound exasperated which is understandable, but to be an outright jackass to someone that is trying to help you sits the wrong way with me.
Um. But some were horrid
My boyfriend was a 999 operator, he lasted about 4 weeks.
Yeah I could NEVER. I have no patience I would be so annoyed already... i respect this lady
Sad to think THIS was the more stable parent.
Lmao I swear I thought the same thing.
The courts are effed... The mother could've simply been in a program to stop drugs and the courts will treat that the same as a heroin addiction so they'll punish that parent.
The court system seriously needs to change. She should have been removed from BOTH parents due to their drug use and neglect. They are partially to blame for her death as far as I am concerned.
Could you do a video where you revisit the missing persons cases you've covered over the last few years with updated developments? Like one 40 min video where you briefly look and let us know if theres new leads/ convictions?

& the SEVENTEEN year old girlfriend named misty! SUPER FLORDIAN
Maybe Misty actually did leave the kids alone that night because 17 year olds on drugs do stupid things. Maybe she left the door unlocked to get back in and Haliegh woke up before she got back. Maybe she thought Misty was outside having a smoke. If she walked out the door to look for Misty or her dad in the middle of the night, so many things could've happened. She could've wandered off and got lost, she could've been abducted by a malicious opportunist, she could've fallen into a hole and injured herself for all we know.
It reminds me of the time my almost 5 year old did something similar. She never leaves the house without an adult, but there was one morning when she woke up and couldn't find me in my room (i was in the bathroom) so she went to check outside because she panicked and thought she was alone. I'm sitting on the toilet at 5 AM and I hear the front door unlock and open **cue heart attack**, so I rush out to see what's going on, and she's in the front yard looking for me by herself in the dark. She hated the dark, but she hated being alone more, so she decided to go search for me. That being said, I think it's definitely a possibility in this case that Haliegh left the house on her own. Especially since there doesn't seem to be any evidence that something happened in the house, nor evidence of a clean up. The parents are clearly hiding something, but it's hard to tell if they're hiding a death, or neglectful parenting and drug activity. Or both.
I don't know, I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall at this point. No matter the circumstances, it's just tragic. I hope they find that beautiful baby and bring her home soon.
Well said. Seems very likely that's why Misty can't settle a story. She definitely knows it's HER fault, but she has no idea where that poor little girl is.
If the story of Misty taking her to a party was true, then that just makes me wonder where she left Ronald Jr. during that time.
Whichever story might be true, every version paints her into a corner.
I did the same thing when I was younger, it's not totally out of the question
I agree that she could’ve wandered off by herself probably trying to find someone. My old history teacher who is an ex cop told us a story of a little boy who got out of his crib, unlocked the door and began to wander outside. This was on Christmas. Luckily he wasn’t really alone, the family dog was with him. But when my teacher found him, the kid was only in a diaper and is 2 at the time. When my teacher asked why he was by himself, he said he had to tell Santa thank you for the presents. My teacher did bring the kid home safely but the parents had no idea he had gotten out and that he was missing.
doubtful or else the canine unit would have sniffed her out if she walked away on her own.
Lauryn Elizabeth I did the same. My mom and I were two hours from home visiting family and I woke up in the middle of the night, thought I couldn’t see my mom, and went outside because I thought she was smoking. Luckily my aunt caught me.
I’m so tired of hearing about dead beat parents who don’t put their kids first. 😢
dead beat parents are seriously the ones reproducing the most.
guy can’t even open his mouth properly to speak clearly on his press interviews, youd think he’d try at least present himself and stop mumbling
i know it’s so sad.. i feel like they are more child abuse/ missing kid cases and i’m praying for those children that are going through those situations.❤️😢
Melanie M It’s awful. Parenting 101; put your kids first. If you can’t, find someone who can and will. It breaks my heart that there are so many children mistreated, abused, and killed. 😢
Cristianandtupac For real, and it’s just so sad.
On that 911 call, misty didn’t sound concerned, she sounded scared, like a “my boyfriend is losing his shit, I did something with his daughter and now I have to cover my tracks” type of scared. Her dad sounds like how I would sound honestly. Someone does something to my child and it’s game over for them 🤷🏼♀️ what an awful story. I hope they find her and can put her to rest.
Hali Shields i agree
I agree, I used to suspect him but he sounds like he's losing his mind on that 911 call. He sounds authentic. But I don't understand how he covered up for Misty so fast either.
Agreed - she sounded more scared of him than concerned.
Hali Shields yeah, when the dispatcher asked her how the door looked (I can’t remember the specifics) but, her response was “no” (I think) but, the way she said it made it seem like she screwed up or something like that 🙃
Exactly what I thought.
I remember this case very well. In one of the initial media interviews, she said she “looked under all the beds…” searching for Hayleigh. Uhhh-mattresses in the floor. There were no “beds.”
Oh wow 🤦♀️
What if the beds she looked under was at the house of the supposed party she went to? And she couldn't find Haleigh?
I remember those exact words myself.
The beds look like more for refugees than a kids room sad 😒
when you think about the fact the misty was TWELVE when haleigh was born is DISGUSTING
Omg🤮
I was actually thinking that soon as Kendall said her age, I was just like "imagine your stepmom/dad's girlfriend only being 12yrs older than you", awkward

@@lanh1380 that’s still fucked up
So she couldn’t be with her mother because of her drug use but it was ok to be with her ‘father’ and his girlfriend who were both clearly on drugs too?!🤔 This was never going to end well for those kids.
She should have been put in care. Not the best idea but it’s better than being with those two. I fully believe any parent whether that is the mother or the father can care and raise children but sadly this little girl didn’t get that either way
That is what I was thinking. If dad is the best option these kids have no chance in hell.
Yes. Every adult in her life failed her. It's horrible.
This is when it's clear cps failed cause those kids should've been put into foster care where they'd still be alive
I know, right??🤦🤦 Ron was no better than Crystal.
Tbh some of the stuff they mentioned about her: shes a kid. Shes a literal child. Ronald shouldve never been with a kid, and she shouldve never been put in the position of being a mother while she was still an irresponsible child. This doesnt excuse her, but all Im seeing is a kid who got groomed & took on too much & the worst happened. Ronald is in part to blame.
Yeah I totally agree. It seems like something awful happened and they had to cover it up, Misty is a child herself, so there’s no “correct” way to discuss a child who’s gone “missing” especially being 17, but no excuses! They seem guilty as hell to me.
Some people grow up fast. Misty obviously was one of them. She wasn't an innocent child. Selling drugs & partying. She has something to do with this. I'm the same age as Misty I couldn't imagine harming a child especially at 17. She's trash. I'm glad they locked her up. She's pushing 30 now & still won't tell the truth. F her.
I agree but just to play devils advocate I do think at her age she is old enough and mature enough to make life decisions that put her in this situation. I’m not saying that to shame her but it’s not like she was 5 when she decided to take on all of her motherly responsibilities.
Sadly I agree.

When I was younger I used to think “it’s so crazy how people used to be able to get away with all kinds of crimes, but now it’s basically impossible with all this technology.” Now I’m older and I’m still shocked at these cases where obviously guilty people get away with it one way or another
Ciara Aiyumu same
The easiest way to get away with it is: killing people with no family/friends, leaving zero evidence and your lucky enough to get a jury that doesn’t care how much it makes sense they only want evidence, killing somewhere your just passing by like a trucker.
We are constantly propagandised by t.v. shows like FBI Files and a host of action movies to believe that the good guys always win. Sadly that is far from the case. Justice depends on the resources a small town has often times
I think Misty gave the children something to make them sleep, went to a party, came home in the middle of the night and found the little girl had overdosed and called those boys to get rid of the body. It explains why she'd be frantic on the phone as it was an accident, and also show that maybe she wasnt pulling things out of thin air, by saying that two lads took the body in a bag, maybe it was a half truth. Rest in peace to this poor girl, never let a child look after children.
Eve Russo Lmao hun you got the Casey Anthony case confused with this one 😂
yeah I am thinking thats what happened too.
How'd u know she died? their is no proof shes even dead in the first place.
I think that's possible too!
You can be 17 and be a qualified care taker. If you’re theory is that she gave the children dr*gs to sleep and then went to party then I would say never let anyone watch your children without proper background checks
I’ve never seen a missing child case where I have absolutely hated every “adult” involved THIS much. These people are all complete scumbags. This is disgusting to watch.
i know and their grandparents are enablers it’s so sad.
Why did he beat her up 🤔
Agreed
Misty literally wasn't even an adult
Misty was 17 and sadly enough, if she had just confessed to it being an accident and made a deal, so they could locate her body...she probably would’ve gotten less time than she did for the drugs.
Yep and likely a Lot less time, 25 years is a lot. It almost makes me wonder... Like why stick to your story after all these years? But then again, she looks so dam guilty with all they have on her. Maybe she has lied so much she actually has convinced herself that she is innocent.
I know i probably shouldn't but i kind of feel bad for Misty she was basically a kid and was pushed into this step mother role not that it excuses her poor choices if the whole party statement is true but still she was old enough to be a big sister to Haleigh i think she bit off more than what she can chew entering this relationship Ronald honestly failed as a parent also its gross a 25 year old man like him would date a 17 year old girl
Less time, if it was actually a accident , not a horrible murder . The would to do a autopsy . Who knows.
@@Thomassteven00 I def think Misty is a victim of something.
It's a tell-tale sign when the person calling 911 explains the scene before she mentions the child is missing. "When we woke up our back door was open, now we can't find our daughter." Like it's not her fault, it's the door's fault, she shifts the blame in her first words. Plus, she said she saw that the child was missing from her bed, and never looked for her any place else.
figgy 709 yes 100%
I never thought about it like that, but it makes so much sense now.
Good observation
That is a really good point

what a bad situation all around, a 25 year old man has no business being in a relationship with a 17 year old, and a 17 year old shouldnt be looking after two kids shes not even related to. poor haleigh.

I found it weird that when they were asked why they decided to get married, the answer was “it’s what she would have wanted”. Whenever parents talk about their child as if they’re dead before even knowing what happened, it throws up red flags for me.
@Beth thats not true in Florida when its one of the spouses children. & im pretty sure you have to be married before the crime before the crime, for that to even come into play. Although those 2 probably thought that was true, & thats why they got married🤦♀️ Kendall talked up this in the beginning/middle of the video.
Eh, that is how I refer to people if I am not in contact with them, though. Not like they are dead, just unavailable at the moment, so I can't ask their thoughts/opinions. But yeah, these 2 and their families are giving all sorts of mixed signals.

@@allykulhmann508 that's a little bit different because they're talking about an event that's passed and speculating about whether you would have enjoyed it given you weren't there.
A more comparable example would be your friends decide to go watch a film and say "it's what ally would have wanted" rather than "it's what ally would want". Its not beyond the realms of possibility, but it's just a bit odd
I agree. Poor kid.
None of these people involved should have had children or take care of children. So sad for this beautiful little girl.
So much judgement. If only that actually helped anyone ever.

The 911 operator sounded genuinely concerned and professional, its refreshing to hear. Such a sad story :(
Yes, it’s refreshing to hear a 911 operator really invested❤️
That live interview was weird AF... why did he cover the microphone and whisper something, and then tell her to look at the camera? She answered “I AM” all snappy like she was annoyed. Idk that rubbed me the wrong way. It had the same energy of a person that was instructing an accomplice to stick to the story.
Same!!
he told her to look at the camera
Faith Fox yes I said that. He whispers something else right before that too though
Cael J. Harden skipped right over that part when reading, not sure why lol sorry about that
Lol like when you have to tell a young child to sit up straight or tie your shoelaces 🤣
The girlfriend looks young enough to be his daughter. That’s disgusting.
Did he had a child at the age of eight? lol
I agree! In the 1st interview clip of both of them, I couldn't figure out if she was a child or adult at 1st. She just looks so small and young compared to him.
I mean he was 25 and she was 17. That’s really wrong but not old enough for him to be her dad. And her parents approved of the marriage. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, there's something wrong with him. That's predatory. There's no reason for a 25 year old to be in a relationship or just messing around with a 17 year old. Sick.

"What color ?"
"She's white."
"What color is her hair ma'am"😂😂
*Thanks for all the likes🖤❤*
Akira Nicole 🤣🤣🤣
Akira Nicole I didn’t even hear that part 😂
To be fair she’s just said she was blonde - obviously the operator didn’t hear that but if you’d just said someone had blonde curly hair and then you were asked what colour, you’d probably be confused too
@@BubbaYak I honestly wasnt being mean about it just thought it was funny. But even if I was confused I wouldn't have said that I wouldve just asked what she meant by that.
where she seems to come from; im not surprised she took the first opportunity to proudly proclaim her whiteness 😂😂
He legit described his CHILD in the way you'd describe a pet.. something isn't right with EVERYONE in this situation.
No he didn't.Why don't you nasty trolls shut up?
Heroin. These people use heroin.
They are all on drugs, that's why.
None of them should have children.
misty definitely had something to do with it. she’s extremely sketchy
Yes she is ..i would not trust her with my dogs let alone my child.
the “where did you go” you play at the end of missing persons vids literally makes me want to cry every single time.
i know like it just hits me right in the soul i literally want to curl in a ball and cry
Omg same here!!!
Me too, me too. I’m a wet eyed wreck by the time the video ends.
Lmao really it makes me giggle
Because for his first interview at 12:50 he was high asf staring off into space and knew he looked fucked

It all feels off.
@@cutstheriver This was the weird part for me, for most parents it should be incredibly easy and quick to just say the DOB instead of getting indignant. Telling beaurocrats your kids DOBs is something most parents do like hundreds of time during their childhood, it should be like an instinct.
tristen marie becauseeeee
And, she has an illness, she’s probably at doctor offices and hospitals all of the time and almost always you have to give them your DOB so they no their checking in the right person
It’s so sad they haven’t found her yet. Haleigh’s cousin Lonzie Barton also went missing in a really similar way-in the middle of the night. But he was tragically found dead.
Do they have a story on that
Wow
Wtf! I wonder if Kendall knows
😳
Say what?!
She’s 17, wayyy to much responsibilities. The relationship itself is not ok. She’s not legally an adult!
Mae Chronicles yeah but it’s Florida
I'm 17 and I know I wouldn't want that much responsibility, I can barely take care of myself!
Yeah I’m about to be 20 and I’m still a child in my own mind. Lol
In some states 17 is legally an adult.
@@cellblocknine5385 maybe its the age of consent but no, a 17 year old is not an adult anywhere in the us unless they're emancipated which she was not because she needed parental permission to get married at all. Either way thats weird...why is a 25 year old dating a high schooler?
I thought it was weird that Misty didn't know Haleigh's date of birth. I also thought it was weird when Ronald covered his mic while being interviewed and told Misty to look at the camera. Idk that just stood out to me as a red flag.
And Ronald didn’t tell the officer her birthdate either it’s like neither of them knew
Well she had only been with him 6 months she may not have known or only been told once. Not everyone can remember dates easily. The dad should have known though
Angel Nix what’s wrong if they don’t know their birthdate and what’s also wrong if he hid the mic and told her to look at the camera not hating I’m just confused
Jana Elhamy
it’s his daughter... he should know her birthdate.
I mean my stepsons bm got his birthday wrong in court. Our lawyer is the one who corrected it cause we had to be quiet at the time.
just seeing them together looks so inappropriate idk how her parents could ever approve their 17 year old daughter to marry a 25 year old man
country hicks be thinking different
from looking at them they might have the same parents
She looks like she could be his daughter. That’s a young looking 17.
@@Me-mb1ex don't exaggerate that's an 8 year gap not 20
So people are really freaking out because of an 8 year old age difference? that's nothing. She's 17, not a child...
when the anthony family offered to help i got the chills. the similarities between caylee and haleigh's so-called "disappearances" are so heartbreaking, some parents just don't deserve to have kids.
Both little girls had toxic, dysfunctional, messed up families. Neither of them stood a chance😢
Those candles are so reasonably priced. I’ve seen mass produced, basic candles cost $25-$40 dollars. Yet that company is making these super intricate, handmade, quality candles and selling them for $22? Thats honestly super reasonable. Edit* And it seems that the basic candles are $12-15. That’s so awesome!
Brianna Gordy I really want to purchase some but I’m worried about how they will arrive. I would imagine with them being so intricate, that they could be damaged easily during the shipping process.
First Last I’m sure they’d arrive fine. I’ve gotten candles like that and they’re usually packed super well. And if one did break or so,etching the company would refund you or replace it. Either way, you’d either get it replaced, get a refund, or it’d show up just fine. Since they ship a lot of them I’m sure they pack it really well.
Dude. This is alllll kinds of sketchy. At 16:22 you can hear him say, "look at the camera" and she says "I am." To me that suggests he is trying to get her to appear innocent and engaged in the interview instead of looking down or appearing nervous. Sketchy...
Stephen Bailey - YES! I came to the comments to see who else caught that!
He even tried to cover the microphone, for sure sketch
To me it looks like she’s on drugs and he’s telling her to look at the camera because she’s zoned out
@@sisu4134 yup me too.

Thank You SO VERY MUCH for covering Haleighs case..I have been following it since the day she went missing. I’ve waited for ANYONE to give this story some attention...ESPECIALLY because someone..Probably a few people (misty croslin & her family) know what happened & where that precious girl went that night. I pray this coverage brings her story back into the spotlight. Thank You again! 🤍🙏🏻
Thanks again, Kendall. What a horrible story.
I lived in jacksonville when this happened and i believe misty got rid of her bc she OD'd. And a few years ago poor little Lonzie Barton was killed by his mom and her boyfriend in Jacksonville and he was related to Haleigh. It brought a little attention back to Haleighs case but still nothing new. Its just all so sad.
This is my home tone. This story hunts our town. Every year they show it on the news. This little girl was so sweet and loved by everyone she come in contact to. My heart still brakes for her grandma. I hope before I die I see the day she is found and her grandma gets to rest.
17 year old girlfriend, sleeping on a mattress on the floor with the kids in the room? Don’t like that don’t like that!
augusta I have an ex who his baby mamma would sleep in the same bedroom with their 3 year old girl and her new boyfriend in the same bed. And that the new boyfriend would INSIST that the little girl sleep in between them 😤 Never liked that and legit would mention it to my boyfriend that that isn’t normal!

Right?! She already was looking at the camera before he told her that.
That was very very weird. There's no innocent reason to do that.

The way that he told Misty to look at the camera, made me think he was abusive.
Well he's 25 and in a "relationship" with a 17 year old, so...yeah I'd say that's a possibility for sure.
Yeah crystal said he was abusive
You can definitely tell
While trying to cover his mic!
She stated straight ahead with no emotion too.
I can buy that💯💯
Literally paused the video and took a deep breath when you said the girlfriend was 17. That alone tells me this will be interesting.

Where were Misty's parents? When I was 17, I would have never been allowed to move in with anyone. Let alone a 25 year old grown man with 2 kids! I think she absolutely knows more than she's letting on. Could Haleigh have been traded for drugs? I hate thinking like that, but it happens.

@@MsMaryPatricia yes we can lmao come on, tell me 100 percent honestly that everyone in this video didn't fail that baby....you can't because they're all trash and they failed her to the point where she is dead. That innocent child was definitely doomed from the start. Ill happily judge every single person that failed her. Especially misty.
So they think a 5 year old woke up, went to the back door, unlocked the deadbolt that was high up, went outside grabbed a cinder block, put it in front of the door, and left. ??? A little girl who was scared of the dark and strangers just wondered off?!? Wondered to where?? There is no way that happened. It shouldn’t have even been considered, considering she was 5 years old. Even if Misty didn’t unalive her or something, she was definitely involved. Also, Misty kept changing her story. 🤨
My theory is that Misty went to the party and brought someone home so she could by drugs, she didn’t have the money so the person took her as payment. That could also be the reason Robert Jr saw a black figure.
Bronze Lily either that or they just stole her to do sick stuff.
That's my theory too.
It can be anything, but I also think It has something to do with the drugs and that she went to the party
That's my theory too
She’s probably been sex trafficked hence why she hasn’t been found. Could be alive and living in god knows where being abused
So many questions: Why are they all sleeping on the floor of one room when there's 3 bedrooms? If she went to a party that night and brought Haleigh with here, where was the 3 year old boy, at home alone? Wouldn't there be cellphone pings to show her location (can't recall what year this was)? She mentioned that her brother came over that night to retrieve ronalds gun, how did they clear the brother from any wrong doing?
It was 2009
the kids were young and it’s common for young kids to sleep in their parents room
lol this was 2009 so crappy flip phones. That type of family probably didn't have cell phones anyway.
ThatOneWeirdGal Ronald claims to have called misty 20 times that night
I know! What happened to mistys brothers throwing haleigh into the lake?
How did he even have custody, with such an unstable home and so many different people in and out? ! Poor Hailey and her siblings!
My thoughts exactly. Usually when one parent is on drugs, the other is too, or has connections. Not a suitable environment for any child. Both children needed to be removed from both parents.
I was also wondering how/why he had custody 🤔
Because CPS is a joke.
The biological mother must be a real winner
There is no stabilty in this household it seems
40 to 60 pounds?! That's a huge difference especially on a child.
Right? That annoyed me cuz if you put a 40 lb child and a 60 lb child side by side there's a huge difference.
Misty was a 17 year old kid
And as if dating/living with a 17 year old, isn't off enough, he leaves her in charge of 2 FREAKIN toddlers, WHAT THE HELL!!??
I mean when I was 17 I use to watch my younger siblings,they were very young and toddlers as well...so being 17 watching children has nothing to do it with...it's more she's 17 with a 25 year old watching his children and one goes missing
It's what You make it I only have a problem with it because she is guilty of something & him dating an underage girl. There are other 17 year olds that would be fine watching kids.
I know in some places there is kind of a grey area, where if the person is in a certain age range like 18-21 or something, it isn't illegal to be in a relationship with someone who is 17
@@PuertoRicanqueen90 Yeah but that is your SIBLINGS. Not a random person who has only known the children for 2 months and is a known drug user, etc. There's really no comparison. We all know that a trusted 17 year old would be fine around kids, but THIS situation is sketchy!!!
@@PuertoRicanqueen90 yes 17 isnt a bad age to babysit but the point is, she barely knew the kids and watching them overnight is a bit far considering they arent her own children

Also Misty: A black man came in our truck and told us that a group of Hispanic men had her and will bring her back when they get the money owed to them.
Misty again: I don't know why people don't belive me and is turning on me!!
There's definitely ways to get the truth. In these cases, it should be done.

@@sarahdavis5882 yeah you're right for other girls maybe cause it's their own children. They have to. But She has the choice to not live that life because she was only the gf. She could have walked away. Not even married yet. Should have been thinking more like adult with Haliegh that night
sarah davis that doesn’t make them any less of child. Even when forced to mature and care for other children. They still process things like a child of there age.

I could not imagine 17 year old me dating a dead beat dad with 2 kids and raising them? Poor babies
He had full custody and was (as you stated) raising the kids, how does that make him a dead beat dad?
I am also wondering this? The mother was the "deadbeat" ... She was the one off doing drugs and partying! Any man who fights for custody, puts a roof over their head, food in their belly and participates in their life is NOT a deadbeat!
@@Nikki_81 He had his own place too, wasn't even living with his parents. What he's a dead beat because he worked nights while his kids were sleeping so he could spend time with them during the day? He was at work when this happened, not out partying. I don't get it.
I wouldn't say deadbeat but a bad parent. Why sue for full custody if you don't have the resources to take care of them? Why date a child when as a parent, you should focus on your children. Seems like a PSA on why everyone should practice safe sex.
The kids needed a mother, not a big sister.
How can you expect Misty to look after two children when she is a child herself? It defo looks like she wasn’t alone in the house or even there.
I babysat my 4 siblings for hours a lot of the time when I was 12
4 younger siblings and the youngest being 2
I spent a whole summer at 13 watching my cousins at my aunt's house while she attended college. My cousins were 2, 3,5 and 6. It's not the age it's the maturity
Yes I understand where all you guys are coming from but you all just babysat your siblings, cousins you weren’t given the responsibility to raise them and be a mother figure to them like Misty was.
I'm so sorry to hear about any teenager who was robbed part of their childhood by being expected to put watching their siblings as 1st priority/responsibility.
Does anyone know where the brother is now? I hope he is somewhere safe and he is ok.
The girlfriend looks SO young in the interview where she’s sitting next to him. SO weird.
Exactly! That's what I thought too!!
She was only 17 at the time
She was 17 and he was 25 😳
Thought She Even Looked Younger . .
She’s looked 10
Wow she “forgot” that her cousin came over and wanted a gun and then took hailey instead Wtf ok she guilty af this is something you don’t leave out if you truly are innocent ...:
Lmfao right I already knew she was guilty then when I heard the 911 call made her even more guilty and then THIS 💀💀
I think she sold Hailey. Probably let someone in when she supposedly got up to go to the bathroom. I don’t know about the overdose theory. Is it common for addicts to give drugs to little ones? I’m convinced that the dad had nothing to do with it, based upon his reaction during this phone call. Otherwise he’s a phenomenal actor. The last one to see her alive is usually the guilty one.
@@hautemama85 Hell no it isn't common for addicts to give kids drugs!! Usually when kids overdose its an accident but never voluntary. Thats just not normal at all. :(
@@hautemama85 my ex's mom would make her kids smoke crack at a young age so they would not want to eat as much. I don't know if it's common however it may seem unthinkable but it is not. My ex was addicted at a young age because of his moms own addiction. Later that's what she gave him as an allowance for cleaning. Messed up.
Right?! Like, oh we’ve been looking for her for months and I’ve denied knowing a thing the whole time, but I just remembered I know exactly who took her and what they did! She is disgusting, literally throwing anyone around her under the bus to try to keep herself out of trouble. After they found out that was a lie how was she not arrested on the spot?! At least for lying to a police officer. It makes no sense! I feel like the police in charge of this case really dropped the ball. It’s crazy to me that she has failed multiple lie detector tests, a voice analysis test, and changed her story so many times and they don’t have some sort of a case against her! It’s sad.
“what color?” “she’s white” luv...

All the adults involved are messed up. Poor Haleigh never had a chance😔
I just don’t understand how this MAN was able to have a relationship with a TEENAGE CHILD
They're country bumpkins. They don't care
where are her parents fr
Age of consent was 17 back then
Halyn Boyd if no one complains about the police aren’t going to do anything. Her parents signed off on her getting married. They were fine with it. The first time my husband got married he was 19 and she was 16. She was still in high school. She wanted to drop out but he wouldn’t let her. Her parents totally approved of it. They thought it was wonderful that she was getting married.
Elizabeth Mach exactly.
Where was the 3 year old boy during all this? How come they don't talk about that? I thought he was also there..
Same
Because he's a baby who doesn't need to be shoved into the media...
I thought the same thing.
His whereabouts are interesting if you consider the fact that Misty was seen at a party with Haleigh miles away. It’s possible he was instructed to lie about seeing someone take her from the home.
AND WHY IS THE FATHER AND “STEP MOTHER” STILL taking care of him.
Idk about all of this. It could have been the parents or step mom or extended family. But I can’t get it out of my head how this family would be a predators dream come true. Seriously, cracked out pill head parents. Violent unsteady dad. Moms off somewhere on all kinds of stuff. And there’s a 17 year old stoner girlfriend left alone with a 5 year old girl and 3 year old boy all night like, what, 3-5 nights a week? Jesus. Pedos are aware of this stuff. They know how to target the children who will be less likely to get them caught. All that being said, it could have been any of them.
Sooooo true. 😞
Many people don't make that connection or don't even think about that even though it's a common risk, as you said.
Yes, this is unfortunately one of those situations where everything combined created a perfect storm & a disaster just waiting to happen. Those poor kids were born into a mess, and sadly, something horrible was bound to happen eventually to one or both of those poor kids. 😔
@@Pluto_Is_A_Planet_ yep 😔
You are so right and honestly I see it *constantly* these days.. my sister works at a daycare and I work with the general public.. the things we observe and witness.. I can't even begin to tell you what a nightmare parents can be.
Mother Hen of Damnifiknow Farms It baffles me how a mother could choose a man over her own child, a baby girl probably only four years old and you’re in a public place in a hotel and you’re not even worried about your child I don’t understand...
Mother Hen of Damnifiknow Farms that’s exactly what I’m thinking they need to become more stable this probably wouldn’t have happened if they kept watch and payed attention
You are honestly so kick arse! It's admirable that you use your platform & influence for the greater good. And it's obvious that you are genuinely invested in humanitarian efforts.
The world is a better place for having you in it ❤❤❤
I can get over the fact that at 16:19 he told her to look at the camera and she's just slouched over not giving a single f***.
Amber W she looks completely blown away. They both have that slurry speech at different times throughout the whole thing. Most times they’re shown they look high af
Amber W yeah I was thinking that wtf
My 6 year old sister has Turner's Syndrome. This really makes it so much more sad for me, knowing Haleigh's slim chance of not being born stillborn and then having to pass away at so young after fighting so hard.
My daughter has Turners Syndrome as well. That’s what made me decide to watch this video. TS girls are little and fierce. I’m sure this little girl was not the exception. Poor baby.
I have turners as well! So sad for Haleigh 😣
I also have Turners!
Same here
I know. My almost 9yr old has TS. So sad
I've noticed something in these true crime videos ...any time a person says " a black man" they are lying. They never describe any other physical characteristics...just " a black man". That girl knows what happened to that girl.
Right.
This is so important. There’s a history of usually white (and it also happens with other races) suspects or perpetrators who fall back on using fear of Black violence to deflect any suspicion towards their possible crimes.
It’s really disgusting-
yep! and it's horrifying how people so easily use black folks as the scapegoat. just perpetuates more racially fueled stereotypes and harms the black community.
Exactly
I watched this case so closely when it was new. It was such a heartbreaking case. Still is. Thank you for covering this
Misty looks like 14 in the video where she's sitting next to Ronald, like, I thought she was his kid or something
She looks like she could be his kid (although not literally because of age).
yes i thought the same things! it looks so bizarre.
It’s creepy
She looks like a fifth grader in the interview where she is wearing a green jacket, the entire case she looks 12-14 it is so wierd to image her dating a dad with two kids, and taking care of those kids.
She kinda is though
This case is a great look into US "justice" system. Small child missing, probably dead? Walks free. Buys or sells some drugs? 25 years in jail!
Tom Ash I’m thinking they got her on drug charges cause they couldn’t for the missing child due to lack of evidence. So I’m thinking they went hard on her for the drugs 🤷🏽♀️
Tom Ash you do realize you can’t just convict people with no evidence. Sure they probably did it, but you can’t just arrest people without evidence. There is absolutely no evidence to convict them for a crime.
proud of that judge. she knew misty was guilty but like Maddie said, they didn't have the evidence. I'm glad they got her for drugs and sent her ass away.
Valerie Familia yea it kind of reminds me of OJ’s sentencing after he got off of murder. Hopefully she admits to something in jail and helps the family get peace and bring this little girl home.
Dude they threw the maximum sentence for drugs at her because they couldn't get her for murder that's why. She wouldn't have gotten such a rough sentence had it been otherwise. But definitely agree out justice system is fucked. Like in some cases you would be convicted for less sand in other cases plenty of evidence doesn't count at all. Doesn't make sense
That wedding was so so so awkward. And they looked/sounded high during interviews. That poor child was screwed from the start with all these people. Her mom moved 2 hours away because he was on pills & abusive- but she was okay LEAVING HER CHILD WITH HIM smh.
The court will send a mother to jail for denying reasonable parenting time. I called the cops on my ex several times if I thought he was too intoxicated to take her and every time they would tell me that I can't deny him her if it's his weekend. I had to go through the courts to petition and was denied. I had to eventually contact CPS. It's so much more complicated being able to keep your child from the other parent than you would think. I was shocked when I went through it, as I wouldn't have believed it had I not lived it.
The mother was on drugs as well. Did you not watch the video she lost custody
@@LauraVittadini I think it’s a very difficult issue to address legally as one of the main reasons this is enforced is due to extremely high rate of parents( usually mothers) that think once a relationship breaks down they have the right to deny the child/ren access to the other parent. Most of the time it is done from a malicious intent. If you have a relationship end and believe your child/ren are in genuine danger or at risk CPS must be notified and involved from the start, you cannot just deny your child/ren their right to a meaningful relationship with both parents just because you are angry or hurt. This is when the child/ren suffer much more than either parent.
Right

It’s really, really sad and it seems like no one is really, truly concerned about that little girl, which is probably why she ended up wherever she ended up.
Way too busy getting into fights or getting high. What a family😳😲
"From florida" oh boy this going be a doozy.
All jokes aside this is a super sad case and I hope they find her and figure it out...
BrAtlynn T that’s all I needed to know “Florida”
Melissa Martelli And it didn’t disappoint 😂
BrAtlynn T whats that supposed to mean Im from Florida and there has never been a missing persons case anywhere near us, barely in Florida compared to other places
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I was born and raised in South Florida (I moved away almost 20 years ago) and all the crazy shit happens there!
Stacie 413 really? Cuz Im from south florida and nothing ever happens here
What happened to the son? Who does he live with now? This is heartbreaking, I wish people would come forward and put it to rest, poor little girl💛
The girlfriend being 17 is concerning idc
I got my daughter and my mother hooked on your channel. I listen to your channel on my 4 mile walks each day..thank you for being so thorough and easy to follow. 👍💜
If misty took Haleigh to a party, where was Haleigh’s little brother, was he also there or did Misty leave him at home? and if she did leave him at home, why not also leave Haleigh at home as well? I think the party could be a theory but it seems odd that she would only bring one child. Also i can’t believe that a party full of people would just go along with dumping a child’s body and covering up an overdose, even if those people were misty’s friends. I would hope someone would have said something or done something.
i was going to comment the same thing, it seems unlikely
Not if they're all drug addicts and don't want to be involved with the police. Seems like the people this family was surrounded with were all useless.
I was thinking the same thing... maybe misty was at a party and left the doors unlocked and someone did come in and take her. I know there were no signs of forced entry so maybe the door was just unlocked. maybe someone they knew and maybe someone they didn't. I'm curious about fingerprints? maybe that's why they have ruled out abduction because their weren't any. either way this case made me so sad. I can't believe people are so awful, the mother crystal didn't even seem to care at all.
That's exactly what I'm wondering too.
Jamie Ridolfo That’s what I was wondering. Only thing I can think of is maybe it wasn’t actually a party, like a small gathering so they were all just getting high and distracted and someone ended up taking her or something. Cause if it’s a full blown party I don’t understand how not one person said something idk. Still doesn’t make sense the boy wasnt with them if that’s true though?
This is my hometown and I’m glad she finally covered the case. I recommend it months ago and it def doesn’t get the attention it deserves. I remember the day this happened. My uncle (by marriage) was her cousin and I can’t say this is fact however most everyone in town believes she overdosed and the minty girls brother got rid of her body. That’s what I believe as well. I’ve heard it all from the family owing drug debt and giving haleigh up to clear debt to her being fed to alligators to cover their tracks. It’s so sad and will always stay with me. That town is so strung out on drugs though that I doubt anyone comes forward bc they all fear they will get in trouble in some way.
I just moved here a year ago bought a house here and it’s definitely bad in this area with the meth heads. I can’t believe they didn’t find her guilty.
Under his breath: “look into the camera” Her: “I am”
When?

Thank you for featuring this story. I've wondered about this so many times over the years. So so sad.
wait misty said they took her body?? why didn’t she say anything at first? she seems very suspicious
Right like surely that isn’t something you “forget to tell police”
She was a beautiful child. What a horrible family.
They got married so they wouldn’t have to testify against one another
That only works if you are married before the crime is committed. I think he did it for two reasons.. 1. So he wasnt introuble for her being under age.. 2. Keep your ememies close.
she literally went over this
Megan V I wasn’t that far in the video yet when I commented
Diane Alexiss she wasn't even looking at him when she was saying her vows..
@@carmenalexis4787 I peeped that also
Having watched more than one niece and nephew when they were younger or overnight, I too have chosen to not use the closest bathroom so as not to disturb them. It's not that weird at least to me. Doesn't mean it can't mean more in situations like this, but again, when you don't want to wake the kids, using a bathroom even slightly further away is normal.
