VeryVeritas,
I can't find any link between her co-worker and Jon Onuma. Do you have a reference? That would be quite a bombshell.
Apparently Kristen had spoken to co-workers about the Lands End (which is right next to the Sutro Baths) and she had accessed a web site about the Sutro baths on her PC. Tracking dogs appeared to have picked up he sent going in the direction of the Baths. All of that would suggest that she probably did go to the Sutro Baths/Lands End area.
Two co-workers did report seeing her with a blonde woman at the Crocker Galleria mall. It is possible that they were mistaken about it being her or that she and the blonde woman were actually together, but they did seem pretty sure about it. Since Kristin's disappearance was very "high profile" in the bay area with a lot of media coverage, it is highly probable that any blonde woman she had met with that afternoon would have come forward if she did in fact have nothing to do with the disappearance. We do know that Kristin knew nobody in the Bay
Area when she arrived 3 week earlier and she did place an ad seeking a female companion. Somewhere near her workplace after she got off would be a reasonable time and place to meet.
Given the above facts, it is very possible that she met a blonde woman through the ad who was part of a plan to abduct her OR there was no blonde and Kristen proceeded in the direction of the Baths and something happened after that that led to her disappearance.
There is a lot of information out there on her case but nothing suggests that there was any "issue" from back home in NC that led to her disappearance or was any suspicions raised about the co-workers who reported seeing her.
Jon Onuma is a sleazy guy. He has been investigated very thoroughly and nothing has been found linking him to Kirsten's disappearance. From what I can tell, Law Enforcement and the family are "satisfied" that he is uninvolved.
Some mysteries are never solved. Perhaps mistakes were made in the investigation but I can't see anything obvious.
Incidentally, the Bay Area is not a particularly dangerous place; for young women or anyone else. The crime rate is typical for large urban areas but it is focused in certain an areas; areas Kristen was unlikely to go. It is Big City however any everyone needs to exercise a certain amount of caution.
