That whole alleged 'conversation' between Kelli and NH was only told by NH. We have no proof that conversation ever happened...he had a couple of days to concoct a story...and IMO, that is just part of his story. I don't believe it ever took place.
NH's story wasn't concocted over a couple of days. He told me that exact story the next day.
Thanks VOH910. Forgive me for referring to you as VOI in a previous post. :waitasec:
Can you tell us what you are thinking now? Have you remembered anything about NH that causes you to lean one way or another? Are you able to discuss the word around town or is that forbidden? You once said you were at 50/50 as to if NH is the perp - any new insight at all regarding who is responsible for Kelli's disappearance?
Hope your life has gotten back on track as far as work and routine goes.
It's all good! Things have gotten back on track but def with a new perspective. There has been nothing new about NH as far as my memory is concerned. I told LE everything I knew and could. There really isn't much talk around town. Like here at WS, everyone has their own theory. No one seems to know anything. They just keep searching and keep the faith alive. I think at this point, this is all we can do. As time goes on, I tend to lean away from NH because I do believe something would have been found already, but I really don't know. There are only certain things I know for sure and then there are things that I have been informed of, some by very credible sources and some comparable to wikipedia. ha. I wish I had the answers.
I am curious as to the number of times KB was at FB.Her family has said she was only there twice.From your comments you believe or know she was there more than that.Does this info come from you actually seeing her there more than twice or info you have gotten from other patrons?Where all of these visits recent (since her husband left) or over a longer period of time?
There are two incidents I had seen her myself and one other from a very credible acquaintance of mine. And yes, they were all from a more recent time period. The already established regulars knew who she was. She knew who a decent amount of them were.
When I heard Olivia say she's not even sure NH picked Kelli up afterall, it really bothered me because I've believed all along that he did pick her up. Now VOI confirms that to be true and we assume LE has spoken to all these guys/gals. Why isn't the family in on the few facts that there seems to be? Was LE able to verify how the request/offer for a ride happened? VOI, do you know? Did NH have a cell phone? Is it possible Kelli called the bar phone? Why didn't anyone collect her money to settle her tab? They weren't on a date afterall. Why would Kelli's tab remain unpaid at the end of the night? Was she not feeling well?
IMO it doesn't help the investigation for the family to be in the dark about certain 'facts' pertaining to the case. That said, LE hasn't publically said one way or the other but, imo, VOI would let the subject drop if there was a question in his/her mind. Also, Olivia did state that Kelli's car was in the parking lot of her apartment complex. So, how does Olivia think Kelli got to the bar and what was her plan for getting home? She mentioned that Kelli was an avid runner so does she think she'd walk/run? Would Kelli risk walking home with warnings and reports of there being an area rapist on the loose? That's not the smart girl Kelli is portrayed to be. Nothing adds up here - there's still a piece to the puzzle missing imo. Could the area rapist have been in the bar that night waiting for Kelli to be driven home? He may have left a lot earlier and no one even suspects him of being her abductor to this day. What better cover than to know your next victim is being dropped off at her place by a RSO.
I can only assume that LE has established how the request for a ride was actually made. I only have two sources one is credible and the other is NH. I'm not going disclose details about it because I do not believe anything was already released.
NH did have a cell phone.
Kelli appeared to be feeling fine when they left. Perhaps a bit buzzed, but not drunk. I've already stated how SC operated business. There was at least one regular that owed him almost $1000 in unpaid bar tabs. A few others owed roughly $200-300. So a $30 max bar tab really wasn't an issue, especially with NH being there all the time and knowing the patron who had the tab.
Living in the area, I did not hear about the rape until the day after Kelli went missing. Still, its certainly not the best area for any female to be walking alone at night. The Kangaroo Mart she would have to pass has some pretty heavy traffic that time of night and not all of it is the greatest people. In addition, there are several apartment complexes that don't have the best residents or guests there. I know this one first hand.
I can see your point as valid in regard to someone leaving a lot earlier. But of the people who were in the bar that night, only one was someone I did not know, but a few of the others did. That is not to say that just because I know someone they are innocent, but I do know that LE has already spoken to EVERY person who was at that bar from half an hour prior to Kelli getting there until closing.
Sorry for this very long post, but I hope it helps clear some stuff up for everyone. It's frustrating to say the least!
