I've been following this from both my own social media and teachers from the school, community members, and alums from VT, mass media, and all the posts here...
Forgive me if I am repeating anything that has already been said because I am trying hard not to do that-- as I see it is happening a lot in this thread.
A few things I've been thinking/seen/heard I thought might be worth sharing for input and/or others thoughts.
- I have an immediate family member with a liver transplant. Alcohol or drugs would not have immediately caused death or signs of sickness. Additionally, liver failure would not have begun 1-3 days after her missed dose. So I do not believe she got sick and he panicked and killed her.
- the night she disappeared if she took her blanket I believe it was because Virginia got slammed with snow- depending on the area it was anywhere from 20-40 inches. If she snuck out- she probably didn't have a coat. I think it would be a probable theory to consider that she took the blanket to wrap around her. The apartments are 3 levels. Unless she lived on top she would have just had to climb out the window. No jumping or anything involved.
- the town of Blacksburg while it has had its fair share of some unsettling instances, is a small, quaint, very intimate town where most who live there know each other, their kids, most are very active in the community. A lot of the people who live there either were raised there or are alums who stayed there and built their lives after college. I say this to paint a picture as to how it is not unreasonable to believe there were a lot of tips coming in. It's the type of place where you would not want to reside if you were a very private person. Kind of everyone in your business type of place.
- the school sits right there immediately off campus. The apartment she lived in is not far from there. You would not have to have a car to get from the hall they lived in to her apt.
- I believe she was killed the night she left. There is no possible way either suspect took her into the dorms. They are like Fort Knox. Esp with her being a female in his dorm and a child for either dorm. No way.
- VT has a very diverse student population. Very well respected for engineering, pamplin school of business etc. a lot of the students come from Virginia and specifically from the DMV (DC, Maryland, northern Virginia) area. Ot is not unheard of that the two suspects would be from neighboring towns and High schools in Maryland. It would also not be unheard of that although they both went to schools somewhat near each other-- that they would have NEVER cross paths before meeting on campus.
- I know a teacher at her school who knew her. While bullying goes on everywhere - from what I understand while bullying is not acceptable in any form it was not apparent that it was anything more than the average tease or name calling done by your typical Tweens. She had a lot of girl friends and was active when at school.

Thoughts on this:
- while searching through NK ig something struck me as out of place. There is a photo of her- in what could possibly be a dorm room with bunk beds or maybe a kids room that had panda and polar bears on the wall and they were wearing panda/bear type hoodies and one was piggy backing the other. Did any of you all see this?
What college student has this? Didn't NL love pandas?
Something really bothered me about this.
Is it possible perhaps she was tutoring, mentoring, babysitting for NL?
I read NL was into singing and acting? NK was Into theatre. Possible that perhaps she was in a middle school program with the theatre dept as extra curricular?
- in the IG post where the guy is calling her names and we saw the response "LG" I do believe that to have been the same person. I also believe he was using this referring to "little girl". Perhaps based on her interaction he was in some way calling her out based on the juvenile back and forth-- perhaps they had already been sexually involved at that point:.. And he was mad? Perhaps the reason he did what he did was that he got scared?
