Upon the arrival of the authorities, they found Ron's dead body. As they continued to roam, they found the two-year-old toddler, Haleigh Ann. The two-year-old was left with Ron's dead body for several days before she was rescued by the authorities.
According to the toddler's relatives, Ron was not related to the toddler at all. Ron was a close friend of the toddler's grandfather and has been taking care of the toddler ever since. The toddler's father was jailed for drug charges while her mother, Megan Wheelock was having daytime jobs.
Megan Wheelock was relieved upon finding out that Haleigh Ann was found and doing well. She did, however, express her grief as Ron played an integral part on her daughter's life. She even cited that Ron has been the backbone of their family as he takes time to tend her toddler while she's away.
WWMT then added that Megan Wheelock is thinking of leaving her daughter's guardianship to her aunt as she fixes her work schedule. An update that was released mentioned that Tammy VandeWetering was the last person Ron Finkler talked to. she then stated that he seem fine and healthy the last time they talked.
