If Kelli was spooked, if indeed NH is telling it as it happened, then that leads me to believe she was spooked by unexpectedly seeing someone she knows in the lot or her light was on in her apt. Another reason she'd want NH to stop here rather than up nearer to her entrance. Therefore whoever it was wouldn't ask her questions about who dropped her off.
If that happened, her reaction and his commenting about it makes sense to me.
If she was spooked by a stranger, you'd think she'd say, 'oh please stay here a minute' or 'drop me by my door'.
I am in agreement with your scenario. The other thing that keeps crossing my mind is that perhaps someone in her building light was on; perhaps a neighbor she had met? Could this person have lured her into a car or an apt? When she sees this light (hypothetical) maybe she feels someone is waiting up for her, doesnt want a scene, and maybe as you say whoever it was wouldnt ask her questions about who dropped her off. So, Kelli asks to be let out of the car. I am not completely sold on the idea that NH had something to do with Kelli disappearance, IMO. Maybe she sees the light on and goes to this persons apartment. Does anyone know if LE has investigated this type of scenario?
An uneasiness I have about that car ride home is: Kelli is in the car with NH, perhaps sees the light on, or sees someone familiar in the parking lot, is spooked, and asks to be let out. My main concern with the spooked part (as many people seem to be) why would she want to be let out of the safety of the car? Unless, she was spooked but not afraid or fearful, thus Kelli did not feel she was in danger. In other words, maybe she felt creeped-out not spooked. OR if she WAS spooked, than perhaps NH spooked her (Which I dont think). My question is; was it NH who stated that Kelli SAID she was spooked? Could NH have merely interpreted her reaction to seeing something as being spooked? I know this might sound like semantics but could it be important? I mean, if its up for interpretation as to what really was her reaction, we really dont know if she was spooked, creeped-out, anxious, angry, afraid, excited, agitated, etc. I dont know. Also, I hope I am not re-hashing something that has already been discussed. :banghead:
