I thought of a possible connection between Kiera’s job and the identity theft charges against Clark as I laid awake in bed last night.
There is a good possibility, IMO, that the reason you mentioned is indeed why she left work early that day.
Perhaps she went to work that morning, her employer told her she had been terminated and that they were going to press charges against her.
Clark picks her up from work, Kiera tells him what happened, he freaks out thinking he himself could be arrested, and harms her.
Whether the crime would have taken at the apartment or elsewhere, my question would be how and by whom her car was returned to the apartment.
I suppose it’s possible that it was found in the parking lot at Progressive and LE isn’t releasing that information.
Or maybe Kiera and Hall-Chand drove to work together in H-C’s car that morning, which may also explain why Kiera had Clark pick her up from work: She wouldn’t have had her own car there. Another possibility is that Clark was already driving Kiera’s car that day. Either of these scenarios would allow Clark to drive Kiera and himself back to the apartment or elsewhere, harm her, get rid of the body, drive the car back to the apartment and also place her belongings there. I get the impression he wasn’t at the apartment when H-C returned to the apartment that night, in which case he could have gotten an Uber or had someone pick him up. By the way, from David’s article last night:
“Bragg said he was told Hall-Chand and Clark called police together, but Clark left before the police showed up, ‘which was odd,’ he said. Clark acknowledged he left before police arrived,
saying he was ‘staying with a friend’ at the time and was unable to connect with investigators until they picked him up Monday.” (BBM)

So maybe it was the friend he was staying with that was able to give him a ride Saturday night, though I don’t necessarily give much credence particularly to this part of his story. For one thing, it doesn’t even explain why he had to leave before LE got to the apartment. Why and how would Clark “‘staying with a friend’ at the time,” prevent him from waiting for LE’s arrival? It makes no logical sense, IMO.
