Does anybody else think we're not going to hear anything new on this case for awhile - it's too quiet today. Even if they find new evidence, they may not announce it if it serves no purpose for the public to know. I was so hoping they'd have more by now.
Someone posted the petite blond missing women information again today.
How could one (us) ever study that if we don't have access to all of their social media information? Seems to me that should be studied collectively.
I can make some reasonable guesses, but let's get some things relatively straight.
1. IMO, I believe that LE has all technological aspects covered. Even without the actual phone, they probably have subpoenaed all of Kellie's communications, including whether they were texts or voice calls, along with any other Internet-related site visits. This leads to three investigative threads:
a) Location trace for phone: Independent of calls or phone usage, if her phone had the "locator" function turned on, then there would be a complete trace of her movements as well as timestamps.
b) Contact information: Who were the owners of the devices in which Kelli's phone was used to contact others during relevant times? Were those persons interviewed to the context in which they were contacted; first alibied, then used as witnesses? If the contact were a voice call, was it Kelli? If it were text, has the witness ever texted Kelli before? All those texts could be analyzed for inconsistencies. For instance, if she normally used shortcuts "i m @ home" instead of typing "I am at home," and a text purported to come from her conflicted with her normal way of grammaritizing, then that would be a tell for an investigator that it may have been faked.
c) Ping information of all contacts, both on Kelli's phone and other phones: Where was everyone located at the times of the communications? This helps with the overall investigation of providing alibis for everyone.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If Kelli had her locator information purposely turned off (unlikely), then they can still obtain location information based upon the hits on the cell signal receptors (towers).
2. They have no need to question Nick Holbert anymore. Unless Nick volunteers anything at this point, LE is done with him.
3. At the same time, they want him going nowhere. This means that they are corroborating confidential evidence we are unaware about publicly.
4. I'm positive they've interviewed all relevant people. The only questions I'd have is whether there are any unknown bar patrons, but so far that hasn't been on anyone's radar, though I'm sure it's SOP for interviewers to have obtained any payment records in Froggy's for the night, as well as determine if any patron had exhibited any strange behaviors for a bar scene (which may not be saying much LOL).
5. I'm positive that every location that Nick Holbert has been associated with in the past year has been combed extremely finely, and that they have Nick's tent or other structure material used in his last unregistered "address."
In short: I don't believe that there is anything they haven't covered that WS members have mentioned. I hope the above, especially about the technologies involved, have cleared things up a bit on what LE is most probably doing, although I have no way of verifying whether they did or not.
SEARCH LOCATIONS: I would not place a high priority on where a body may be located.
