IN IN - Kristy Kelley, 27, Boonville, 15 Aug 2014 #1

[cluciano63]

Surely LE would know by now if Kristy had made it to the other bar? And release that info to try to get witnesses?

 

[Seajay]

Yes, it's the Southside. It is the only bar I have been to in Boonville. It can be a little rough at times. Mostly people having to much to drink and fighting. I personally haven't had any problems there, but have seen my fair share of people thrown out for causing problems.

I can't help but wonder if she decided to go ahead to the Southside and meet up with her bartender friend there, instead of waiting in an empty bar for her to finish closing up. Most of the parking at the Southside is across the street from the bar in a couple of very dark parking lots. Maybe whatever happened to her happened there?

Now that's possible. I just think we need to explore something else besides she was heading directly home to her parents house and didn't arrive.

She HAD plans to go to another bar with her friend. So she obviously wasn't planning on going home then. She did leave her friend behind, so she could have just decided to go by herself to that other bar or someplace else. If her vehicle isn't being found, it could be because she went somewhere else, somewhere no one expected her to go. If she decided to take a little drive to clear her head or whatever, she could have driven out of town in either direction and be Lord knows where. From there several things could have happened, accident, abduction, or she decided to keep right on going.

Right now some seem more probable than others but we have to keep an open mind. Her big vehicle disappeared. It's somewhere. Maybe in a garage or storage shed, maybe in a creek or river, maybe in some brush or in a ravine. And maybe she hid it somewhere while she chose to take her life (Jennifer Huston).

What if that wasn't her car in the TF video. The one going the other way is hard to see, what if the one going to first way isn't very clear either. (Terrilyn Monette case where LE said she turned right on Marconi and left on Harrison. THEY WERE WRONG!!! She was later found in the opposite direction with her car in the bayou where she had driven it after police swore there was no way she was in Bayou St. John.)

From what I have read, LE talked to the bartender at Southside, and they never saw her. But what if she made it to the parking lot, but never made it into the bar?

From a geographical standpoint, it is .4 miles from the VFW to the Tastee Freeze, where it is thought she was last seen on camera. From Tastee Freez to Southside, it's .6 miles. From Southside to her home, it is roughly 5 blocks. Also of note, There is an RSO that I keep coming back to for some reason, who lives 3 blocks from Southside. It would be between Southside and her home.

Read the thread last night and tonight.
I find it sort of odd that Kristy's coworker or boss didn't call her at home on Friday (according to her dad, she was living with them since her divorce) when she didn't show up for work. Earlier I read she had not called in sick to work in over three years. When they couldn't reach her by calling her cell, wouldn't the next step be for someone to try to reach her at home?

Her father said during an interview on TV that it wasn't until later on Friday, when he and his wife were driving and passed by Kristy's workplace, that they noticed her car wasn't parked there. He pulled over and went inside and that is when he found out she didn't report for work as scheduled. He didn't say what time that was but sounded as if it was later in the day on Friday. I wonder why nobody called Kristy's home/parents, either about her phone being left behind at the VFW or the fact she didn't show up for work.
These combined delays seem so strange to me.

Again...it would be rare for an abductor to take her car and/or hide so carefully, but jmo.

 

[cluciano63]

I guess what I read elsewhere must be wrong, that she had an apartment separate but not far from her parents.

I just watched an interview that's posted up thread. Her dad was asked if Kristy lived at his house and he responded that she did.

Actually, you can get a PayPal debit card. I have one and I can use it anywhere that a normal Mastercard debit card can be used. It pulls money from the PayPal account and then if there's nothing left, it will pull from my bank account or deny the card if I don't have a backup set up.

I live in Southern Indiana and some of the stores around here have the option to pay with paypal on the card readers. No card needed. You have to have your paypal account linked with your phone number and set up a PIN. Then when you are at a store with the paypal option on the card reader you just type in your phone number and PIN. The money comes out of our paypal balance if you have one, if not it take the money from your bank account or credit card that you have set up as back up funds. This comes in handy for my husband because he is always forgetting his wallet at home. Whenever he pays with paypal the cashiers usually comment that not many people pay with paypal. I doubt this payment method is being used in this case, I just wanted to point this out incase this pay with paypal at stores option is not available in other areas.

I read somewhere in here that her phone wasn't found until the next day and they just thought at the time that someone left it and would be back, they get phones left all the time and didn't think that was unusual. Once they heard that Kristy was missing, they checked the phone and realized it was Kristy's and called her parents who came and got it. If I remember right.

Just not feeling an accident right now. I think she would've been found by now if that were the case. It could've been that that wasn't her driving in either video. Something could have happened to her inside or outside of the bar and she was taken somewhere and something happened within that 20 minute time frame.

I dunno. Bizarre case.

Two Searches Scheduled this Weekend for Two Missing Women


As we've been reporting this week, hundreds of volunteers have been looking for Kristy Kelley and the other missing women every day.
Those efforts will resume early Saturday morning in Boonville.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to help look for Kristy needs to report to Studio Bee around 9:00AM. Kristy's father, Todd Scales, says there will be some extra crews coming in from Kentucky to help search.

Then another organized search for Joelle Lockwood will take place on Sunday.
The group will meet at 1:00PM in Carmi at 833 Co. Rd. 1930 East.

Again, volunteers need to be prepared for the elements - these are very rural locations that crews will be targeting.

Maybe we will know more by the end of the day. It would sure help if they were able to search from the air as well, although I haven't heard anything about that.

I keep coming back to the VFW. Was Kristy intoxicated? Did she go to the restroom and get sick after which she decided to head home?
was her cellphone still working when found? If yes I'm sure those looking for her were calling it. At the end of the night there were 5 people in the VFW correct? Kristy, bartender, cleaning guy and a couple. The couple left first leaving Kristy, bartender and the cleaning guy. Has there been any news on the cleaning guy,interviews? When did the bartender last see the cleaning guy? Any description of this guy 40's, 50's, 70's how old? I haven't seen the video of supposedly her car , is it identifiable? The car must be on private property hidden,imo. I don't see any hints that suicide would play a role in this.Was there someone waiting for the bartender to get off work? lots of questions..need some answers!

I've been lurking but wanted to finally chime in. I am in the area about 15 minutes away and used to work in Boonville. I knew about the story right away and early on it was said that some men over heard a loud argument between Kristy and the couple she was with. That was the first I heard of it and immediately the friend she was with commented on the fb page that this was a huge exaggeration and then called it a small dispute. Then it was all deleted. Checking the friend's fb, she doesn't seem like someone I would suspect but I would be interested in what the witnesses think they saw as far as an argument.

Also, someone asked earlier about an aerial search. Also according to the fb page early on, they said they will not search by helicopter unless or until they have narrowed down a specific area in which they suspect she might be.

Around here, there isn't a whole lot for people to do as far as a nightlife. Being in her age range and also a mother, I think it is totally within reason to think she was out having just a couple beers and forgot her phone. I probably got my first cell phone at the same age as she got hers and I've been attached to mine ever since, too. But I've also left it places even when not drinking. It's not something I do often but especially at a bar when you don't have a purse and you don't want it to fall in the toilet when you pull your pants down it's very common to lay it on a shelf (the counters are always wet in bar bathrooms so I never put my phone there). I think she just forgot the phone and went back to get it.

I was following from the very start where her close friends and parents were posting so I hope I can clear some things up as I 've seen a couple bits get innocently twisted and then posted here as well as on fb as time goes on.

I hope I'm minding etiquette but forgive me as I learn. I wouldn't rule out the big family friend who is helping. Something about that individual strikes me as requiring some digging but I know it would be completely unexpected and so that's a wile shot in the dark.

 

[Midwest]

One more note: I know a handful of people who know her. I do not know her, so this is rumorish. But they all unanimously say that she was sweet, fun, kind, etc. Say she would never, ever leave her kids. The people I know seem SO sure of this. I know you all mention the Huston case where the suicide was so unexpected but did she have hundreds of friends speaking out about her character the way Kristy does on fb? I won't rule out suicide but her friends and family sure are convincing that she would never do that.

I wonder if she never gave them the phone number at her parents house. She worked there when she was still married so what if the only numbers they had were her cell number and her husband's house number (if he has one)? It's also not that uncommon for the only number to be given to be the cell number.

I was talking about this case with my husband last night and I found out that my husband works at the same company as Kristy's ex-husband. Things that I know for sure is that he has been at work every day since then and he works first shift.

Something I don't know for sure but my husband was pretty sure he had heard was that the kids were with him that night (Thursday night to Sunday evening "weekends" are common in this area for custody agreements so it makes sense).

Also, while most of us don't think she just left town, almost all of the guys at my husband's job think she did. Not sure if they have more information than we do but that's what most of the guys seem to think. Might just be a guy thing?

 

[Tonia]

If you go to the help find Kristy page you will see the pictures that her and her friends took that night. I don't think i can post them here but it will give you a feel of the place and show you the doors and what it looks like for those of you that don't know.

I have been very curious to hear the ex-husband's thoughts so this is very interesting. You often see the friends and family of the victim feel very strongly one way whereas the husband or ex-husband's family has a very different perspective. Hadn't even been able to find out his name so I have heard absolutely nothing from him.
