My husband and I moved to Evansville three years ago and this baffles me. Anywhere we go, we see Kristy's posters everywhere and prayers go to her loved ones and family members.
According to earlier posts, at least three out of the norm things happened that night at ONE location in a very small community before Kristy "disappeared":
1. Kristy got in a "small verbal altercation or argument" with a couple with whom she was with at the VFW
2. Kristy left the VFW without telling her bartender friend with whom she was supposed to leave if the bartender and others are truthful according to published info (again, we do not have access to police statements so all of this could be rumors)
3. Kristy's phone which she supposedly never left was found in the women's bathroom at the VFW the next morning and later connected to her once they realized she was missing.
To me, these many odd things say the target of the investigation starts and should be focused at the VFW, not another location. What are the odds she went elsewhere and disappeared after these odd things, unless she was in phone contact or personal contact at the VFW(of course the police will know this and not share, rightly so-someone could have eavesdropped at the VFW) where someone was privy or overheard her plans for the rest of the night and intercepted her?
I have read on a few posts that supposedly the cleaner at the VFW is an "older" male" How old and mobile is "older male cleaner" if true? God Bless our veterans and I am not trying to throw one under the bus if this is the case-just trying to consider people who possibly had last contact with her.
Is is possible that Kristy was hanging around after the bar closed while her female bartender was in back, she gets a text from someone she wants to see or decides on her own to go track down the person? Kristy knows her friend is going to be busy in the back for a bit (plus she could have argued with others about going to see this person) and does not have a purse or pen with her in the bar or her new bartender friend's cell number (does not want to get the new bartender in trouble by interrupting her training in back), so Kristy grabs a pen and cocktail napkin from the bar and leaves a short note to her female bartender friend on a napkin she has to go somewhere but will be back in 10-15 min so they can still leave together after the bartender finishes training/bar closes.Kristy leaves, plans to come back shortly. Maybe someone cleaning the bar area clears the glasses and napkins without seeing a note on them so it went in the trash (although hopefully all trash was carefully checked). No one knows the responsible Kristy actually did possibly leave a note.
Kristy later returns too the VFW-just two of many possible scenarios:
1. All workers have left for the night after the VFW closed earlier when Kristy returns (which means most likely Kristy's phone was left earlier inside in the restroom earlier and she was returning for it) and Kristy runs into someone bad news in the parking lot/area-likely someone she knew and did not think a threat
2. The male cleaner was still on premises when Kristy returns after closing. He lets her in and tells her her bartender friend left. Kristy has been drinking/driving around and asks if she can use the bathroom before she heads out and takes her phone in the bathroom with her-then something happens. But again, police have probably thoroughly swabbed for possibility of a crime scene through the entire VFW.
So puzzling. I do not want to point the finger at the cleaner, but since Kristy's Mom said she was never left without her phone, what if Kristy DID have her phone the entire time and it just got left the last possible time she went back to the VFW (after her car was caught on film) and was possiblly let back in by someone and that is when the phone was left behind-NOT that she left the phone in the bathroom earlier? If Kristy had the phone the entire time when the video was showing her vehicle in motion and then she later went back to the VFW, would the pings prove the phone was with or not with her while her vehicle was spotted in motion, or is there only one tower in Boonville where they could not confirm a GPS tracking on if her phone traveled with the vehicle after she disappeared from the VFW earlier? For example: is the town so small that there is one cell tower off which the phone pings so there is no way to know if the cell phone stayed in the VFW from the time Kristy arrived that night, or can the police tell Kristy left the VFW at a certain time and the phone pings showed the phone in motion with her and then later showed back at the VFW?
Sorry new here to this nearby case and just trying to think of some alternate (although may be very unlikely) options to the very good theories others have already posted here. God Bless her family and friends and community.
I hope you are right about someone telling what they know, but so many cases here have proved otherwise, for years on end...jmo
