Thanks for posting this link. So far I've listened to half of the interview. A few points stand out. Unfortunately, I'm as confused as ever.
~ Almost from the getgo, our understanding was that Kelli went to FB to participate in karaoke. We didn't hear details about that but VOH mentioned Kelli performed karaoke that night iirc. Not long ago, someone posted that Kelli had not taken part in Karaoke. At the time I thought that was a weird comment for someone to interject into the details of Kelli's evening after all this time. I wonder why?
Olivia thinks Kelli went to FB specifically to try out karaoke as she had never done it before. Olivia said that this was the second time Kelli went to FB as she had noticed the first time that they had karaoke on Friday nights. Olivia mentioned that Kelli and another person, a woman, were doing karaoke together. I've not heard that detail before. What's the big deal? Is the woman the one who befriended Kelli on fb the next day? I know VOH was careful when offering information but, why not say, Kelli and ____ (no name, but a woman) were up singing karaoke all night and seemed to be having a ball, a good 'ol time. Why was a description of the activity, the fun Kelli went there to have, off limits for discussion?
With twenty to twenty-five peeps in the bar, you'd have to notice the ones participating in the karaoke from time-to-time. :waitasec:
The silence about the details in the bar bothers me.
~ As far as Olivia knows, Monday morning was the first time peeps knew something might be wrong with Kelli.
Peeps from her unit began the procedure of checking into her whereabouts.
Why did a poster interject that Kelli had night duty Sunday night which confused the whole timeline. :waitasec:
~ Olivia is not 100 percent sure that NH picked Kelli up. Wow. What if Kelli walked to FB while it was still light out? It would make more sense as to why she texted someone to say that she was getting a ride home. That said, if NH picked Kelli up and drove her home as Kelli expected him to do, wouldn't LE confirm that detail to the family? I assume they checked, based on what NH told them, the phone records to verify his claim and as to why Kelli ended up in his car. We posted as if NH's story is true, even though it sounds kind of weird, because nobody said it isn't true. How did Kelli think she was going to get home if she hadn't made a prior arrangement? That's why I accepted NH's story. Would Kelli walk to FB's having no set plan for going home? Remember, Fayetteville has a rapist on the loose who has struck in that area.
If Kelli had only been to FB once before, would she have contacted NH for a ride? :waitasec:
This detail is important because, if NH suddenly found himself in the position of being alone in his car with cute Kelli, he may not have been able to contain his impulses. My thoughts shifted to the possibility that NH, in that very moment, became an opportunist. Kelli may have walked right into NH's fantasies. To me, that detail makes a huge difference as to how I look at the whole scenario.
~ Lastly, I'd like to applaud the searchers for their perserverance in trying to find Kelli along with having the courage to do so (snakes and briars oh my!).
