A while back, a woman told the police that Misty and some others had been doing drugs and Haleigh had gotten hold of some of it and died of an overdose. The police dismissed the woman as a non-credible source since she had a less than stellar background. To me, this seems like a pretty likely scenario. What would have been the motive to just up and kill her? If she overdosed, I can see how they might have panicked, disposed of the body and came up with the kidnapping story to cover.
From what I heard during a news conference, they found alligator scratchings in the area where they found the other evidence. They will probably never find the rest of her remains.
I'm just glad that there will be some closure to the is case.
