We think alike. I have been going over the timing too. And I agree, would he travel that distance with a body, to dispose of at night?This case is haunting me. I'm long-time local Pinellas County and I live about half-way between the Largo law office and TK's Tarpon Springs home. I also worked for decades in Pinellas medical offices and law firms and have had my share of disconcerting exposure to unhinged doctors involved in lawsuits.
My current thoughts are that TK disposed of the body near his home or the medical office.
I am trying to assess the timeframe for TK's drive on 3/21/23 from Tarpon Springs to Miami.
Referencing the AFFIDAVIT. . . TK left Tarpon Springs in the red Toyota Corolla at 5 PM.
This drive would be rush-hour traffic time. In favorable traffic, it takes about one hour to travel from north to south Pinellas County (Tarpon Springs to St Pete Sunshine Skyway). Doubtful he was speeding. During rush hour, this drive likely took 1.5 hours.
Note: 3/21 travel timing per AFFIDAVIT indicates about 3/4 hours travel time between the Largo law office and TK's home:
07:51 to 8:32 Home to law office (41 minutes)
11:16 to 11:58 Law office to home (42 minutes)
Per AFFIDAVIT, travel from Tarpon Springs to Ochopee 16:58 (4:58) to 9:36 = 4.5 hours.
At least an hour of the 4.5 hours would be N to S Pinellas County. So that leaves 3.5 hours
to travel St Pete to Ochopee.
Traveling US 41?
Disposing a body in the dark of night along the way?

I waited until 4:50 to check because traffic patterns, in relation to time of day, change the Gmap time reported.
I Gmapped how long it should take from his house to the camera capture in Ochopee: 4 hour 2 min
It took him 4hr 37 min (4:58-9:36).
We don't know which route he took, but both routes on GMaps showed the same amount of time for each and both routes had tolls. I think LE could track those tolls. MOO
He might have gone some way which avoided tolls - GMaps says that takes 4hr 45 min.
Avoiding highways completely takes 5hr 44 min - 5hr 51min.
From your experience to get to Ochopee from St Pete: He had 3.5hr left once he reached St Pete
St Pete to Ochopee on toll roads 2hr 49 one way, 3hr 16 min another way
Avoiding tolls: 3hr 51 min and avoiding highways all together 5hr 19min.
The time it took him to get from his home to the office matches both going and returning, and is a little less than what GMaps says.
I keep thinking he planned where to take SC. The affidavit does say that they have a capture with the wagon and blanket in the truck bed as he got home. Blood in the bed and on the floor of the garage. That the truck doesn't leave the garage after, only the Corolla leaves.
From the warrant:
W Klosterman @ Pinellas and the relevant image is time stamped 3/21/2023 11:51:32 EDT.
Your affiant observed the image captured by that camera of the ToyotaTundra with the wagon in the bed and its contents covered by a red or orange blanket.
From West Klosterman to his house should take 8 min and he was captured arriving at the house at 11:58. With the wagon and orange blanket still in the bed (no mention of contents here, not sure if that means anything).
Then this in the warrant: when the Corolla leaves the house.
the Toyota Corolla did not appear to be sagging from any large loads in the trunk.

I kept thinking he had a plan: storage unit, another property along the way? But the timing is really tight. He spent five hours at home before leaving. I noticed on a property website that his residence has a long deck to a body of water in the back. I wonder if he had access to a boat? MOO
TY for listing March 21 captures. Planning to take a closer look at those points.
