Im new to posting on this forum but I have been following it since KS first went missing. Im probably one of the guests you guys refer to. My significant other has cut me off from talking about the case so I decided to join you.
I was very agitated in the first few days of her going missing b/c I just couldnt understand why there were no searches. I heard about her case on Monday 7/30 & was aware that she had been out partying. My first thought upon hearing that shes missing from her home after a night of partying & that she left w/o her car & possibly her shoes was that she walked away (for whatever reason, bored, trip to convenience store, who knows) & got lost or injured (unconscious somewhere). It was very hot that week & I was flipping out b/c at that point there was a chance she could be found alive if she was found soon enough. But no searches. By mid-week I heard that her friends & family had searched for her which is great but this area is ripe with places she could have been. There are quarries, woods, tons of farm land which at that time were full of tall corn stalks. There was no way her friends & family could thoroughly cover all this ground. When a search was finally organized it was for 50 volunteers searching a very limited area. I thought LE must have a lead since it was such a constrained area. I know tons of people who wanted to help search & some were turned away b/c they had enough people. Nothing.
On Tuesday, 7/31 I had learned that a Palmyra police officer was the last person known to have seen her. In my mind this opened up countless possibilities. I, unlike some people, do not think that there is no chance LE was involved in any wrongdoing. I have a LIMITED LE background, have never been a PO but have worked with them & have done LIMITED investigative work. LE should not be immune to scrutiny. I have seen LE lie to cover their butts several times (not Palmyra PD, I know no one there). I absolutely respect that this is a very tough job & Id never want to do it. I also think that the majority of LE are good, decent, honest people. However, I dont think its appropriate (with our limited knowledge of the events) to r/o an accidental injury involving LE. KS is a tall girl but shes super skinny. If LE returned to the home & saw KS outside & confronted her, s's still wired, maybe gets verbal & intimidating to the officer. Its entirely possible she needed to be subdued or restrained for the officers safety & injury ensued
.he panics
.who knows? Inadvertent injuries happen all the time. My point is that there are few scenarios that I feel comfortable ruling out. We just dont have enough info. Its glaringly obvious that LE is keeping this tight lipped, why? Again, who knows. Could be they're investigating one of their own, could be drug or informant related, could be they have a good idea who the perp (if any) is & are laying low ready to strike when appropriate.
At least 2 of the friends she was with that night dont look like killers on the surface but Id like to state the obvious here. Everyone is capable of violence in the right (or should I say wrong?) circumstances. There was a time when Ted Bundy was considered quite the catch. And theres the infamous pic of John Wayne Gacy shaking hands with then 1st lady Rosalynn Carter. Drew Peterson, enough said on that. How many times do we see on the news a neighbor saying, stuff like
this doesnt happen in our neighborhood, they seemed so nice, never saw it coming, etc, etc, etc? In my mind in a situation like this its guilty until proven innocent. Everybody is suspect until they can be r/o with 99.9999% surety. At this point, in my mind, none of the players are cleared (again, with the limited info we have).
There are a few things Id love to know the follow up on & things I just want to mention.
1. The letter from the inmates offering their assistance. Now, of course this may be nothing, just some men trying to shorten or better their prison stay but considering her BF was incarcerated at the time, several of the letter writers were incarcerated on drug charges (public record) & theres a possibility that KS was involved in at least using, maybe some selling. In my mind thats enough to warrant full investigation. But Ive heard nothing about this since the letter was first published. Theres been mention that she may have owed money to someone. Its possible shes now been strung out on heroin & is being sold to pay the debt. Highly unlikely but still I havent ruled ANYTHING out.
2. The body in Elizabethtown. Media reported that MEs office would be able to release at least the gender over a week ago. Nothing. Are they keeping it quiet to make someone squirm?
3. I want to know which neighbors made which calls. I dont feel confident that we know this for sure. Different articles imply different things. A lot can be misconstrued based on semantics & just the wording of an article. Nothing short of an official statement from LE in the form of a press conference or release of 911 tapes will answer this question for me. Its possible that one neighbor called in the 2nd noise complaint not knowing that the noise involved KS & the other neighbor. Theres mention of KS stomping around in anger prompting the 2nd call. Now, it seems to me that would involve the downstairs neighbor more so than the side neighbor. Again, not clear from the different articles. Also, there are 3 neighbors mentioned in MSM reports. All of these people have criminal records (public records but I dont think I can get into specifics here). Look them up, if you havent already, theyre not all victimless crimes.
4. I can see the family paying her rent. The rent cant be that high & Id do it if my child was missing. If nothing else, just to preserve the scene for additional searches if needed. Just to note there are neighboring houses for sale & as a seller Id be very disappointed that there are missing signs & crime scene tape up a few doors down. Of course, concern for KS would be my first thought but its been almost 4 months & I dont know how patient I could be in that situation.
5. I live just east of KSs apartment & work to the west of it. I drive by her home every work day (usually around 0610 & 1510) & sometimes on weekends. There's a COLT bus stop right in front of NAPA. When I pass there in the afternoon there are usually 1-3 males waiting around. This likely means nothing, just mentioning. In the mornings I see several people, at other bus stops, walking dogs or just walking. I also know that inmates on work release get dropped off & picked up at various locations in the area.
6. I dont know KSs family or the friends she was with that night & Ive never spoken with any of them. I dont know any members of the Palmyra PD. I think KS is a spirited young woman who likes to have a good time. No matter what she may or may not have been into or done she doesnt deserve any harm or suffering that she may have suffered.
I have a strong theory which I wont detail here. I dont think shes alive. I really hope Im wrong & I really want her family to have her back safely. If there was anything I thought I could do Id do it. Its frustrating b/c talk seems to have died down in the local sector. Signs are still up but its been no new news. Thanks for letting me vent. Unfortunately I don't know what else I can do.
