Another thing to throw out there...
I do believe it's quite possible that another employee had some type of grudge/issue with Kelly. Since she had just gotten a raise for one thing (how well known at work was this?). Also Kelly was doing what is basically considered a "man's job". Kelly is gay and Kelly is a natural beauty. Anyone of those things, or a combo or all, could have tipped someone over the edge.
One thing that hasn't been answered is - was any other employee missing the same time as Kelly? Was there an employee who called in sick, or possibly went home sick that day? Was there an employee who took a vacation day that day?
There's been a rumor that a person was fired on that day. Has this ever been confirmed? If so, what time was this person terminated? Was it known to this employee and/or other employees that this person was going to lose his job before hand?
Could someone have made this appear that a co-worker could have done this?
I think somewhere there was made mention that Kelly had thought an employee had copied her key? If so, how would this person have done that? Does BPA make keys? Do they make casts of things?
I think it would be extremely hard to take a key off of Kelly's keychain and take it somewhere during a break to make a copy and then place the key back on the keychain. I believe it was also stated that pics were taken off of Kelly's toolbox of her and her partner - or of her partner. That to me, along with a possible copied key, doesn't sound like co-workers I'd want to be around.
However, if someone else also knew that information - and we know there was at least one person that knew of those 2 above things - then I'm sure others knew this as well.
The key, the pics removed, things being moved around in her house - sounds to me like someone was sending her a message. Also it could be that someone wants to make Kelly think she's losing it - or give others the impression that Kelly is off kilter...
Doors on the house being open the next day - goggles/gloves found next day.... Were the goggles/gloves ever claimed by another employee? Were the doors/locks anything else in her house fingerprinted the next day the doors were found open?
Anyone know if Kelly's computer was examined by a forensic specialist? How about land line records (if applicable). All banking transactions gone over? (in case anyone was maybe extorting cash from her).
Has the family hired a PI?
Sorry for the rambling...I've just really been thinking hard about Kelly today... Wish we could shake a magic 8 ball and have the answers appear instantly...
Thanks for reminding me about a lot of this stuff. Some of it had slipped through the cracks for me, so your nudge worked wonders.
I'm always hesitant to go with the insider/fellow employee angle because I would imagine that a coworker/vendor might hurt her/kill her off the premises rather than at their workplace. Sort of the theory "Don't where you eat" (sorry about that!). But then I think of Amy Bishop Henderson from UA-Huntsville shootings of her fellow professors just a few days ago. She shot them at a staff meeting, hid the gun, and attempted to leave the building as if nothing had happend when she was captured by LE. She had no problem whatsoever in shooting 6 and killing 3 coworkers for not getting the tenure she so wanted.
Regarding the keys, you're right, not a lot of time to make a copy of the keys during a 15-min. break. And how would a coworker know exactly which one was the house key? Some people carry up to 7, even 10 keys. How would a stranger/coworker know how many keys were used to open the doors at Kelly's home? Some people have one lock, others two.

This is what leads me back again and again to thinking that the person who did this was very familiar with Kelly in a personal way--an ex- (she had several). Someone who was aware of her mental health history. We were told Kelly had "a separation from reality" or a psychic break/mental breakdown a few years back. Someone who had once been close with her and now angry with her could have attempted to play with her mind, hoping to cause such a breakdown in her again.
Sad, but it happens. If that's true, however, the question remains did Kelly then get pushed over the edge or did that same person then hurt her. Since I'm fairly resigned to believing that she did not commit suicide, that means to me that the person who was playing with her mind was involved in hurting/killing her.
Thank you so much for rambling--rambling can work wonders in reminding us of things we need to be reminded of. Ramble anytime, MB. Obviously, I'm pretty good at rambling too.

Your ramblings were important to me.
