These recent developments are really something... is there any possible way a cadaver dog didn't search the house back in 1997? How would this have been missed all those years ago?
So little details about what LE actually did over the past 2 decades has been very irritating.
Someone kept pushing the Sutro Baths theory, I think so they could just close the case and forget about her.
However, the crazy behavior between Onuma, Lampo, and Kristen's co-worker Matthew Luque being closely linked to them, is more than enough to make the Sutro Baths sweeping her away during a depressed moment a bit silly by comparison.
The thing that have always bugged me:
1) Onuma and his numerous antics, including abusive sex, reporting a pair of lesbians as murdering Kristen, and being tied to a sex trafficker (Dubie, who is deceased).
2) It is the ONLY day that Kristen didn't clock out.
a) From this I had previously came up with scenarios like Kristen was sent
to make a bank drop but was set up to be robbed in an inside job.
For example, let's say Kristen were sent to make a bank drop inside of the Galleria.
Onuma in a wig, gets help from Lampo and/or Luque to sent Kristen on the drop.
Only what if instead of just being robbed Kristen immediately ID'd Onuma?
b) What about leaving work early with Lampo and Onuma, and making a deal with a co-worker to clock her out. Only the co-worker (Luque?) forgot...
Then the 3 go to Kristen's shared living space and something goes awry.
3) Everytime I was curious about her living situation, it seemed either there was very little information or researching that was being discouraged (and apparently stemming from LE's lack of finding anything there). The other people living there barely seemed to know or notice Kristen. Seemed odd, but not implausible. The newspaper was the only clue to my recollection and a fairly thin one at that. The people you live with should be prime suspects... but not in this case. I got the impression that LE knocked on the door, everyone claimed they didn't know anything, and they just looked around finding the newspaper. You would hope they did more, but nothing ever sounded like it.
Now the rent thing is a bit curious. I'm not following the check vs. cash thing at all.
Did she pay the rent or not? If she took out the cash, where did that go?
4) Jill Lampo's missing diary pages including the day Kristen vanished.
I would not put it past Onuma to have made a robbery and rape on Kristen and then covered it up. I'm sure Lampo knew more and remembered what she wrote in that diary.
Apparently she is only as of this year cooperating. But if she were an eyewitness to Kristen's murder, then by now someone would have been arrested (if she really is cooperating).
I don't know who (if anyone) was at home between the time Kristen supposedly left work and the next 12 to 24 hrs. Did they all have airtight alibis? It would be interesting to know if one or 2 of them were there sometime after she left work... vs. if no one was there at all.
