Hello everyone, I have been reading on websleuths for quite some time, but this is my first post. I can’t seem to keep up with reading the threads, so I always feel like I am late to the party. The wit and intelligence displayed here can be very refreshing and enlightening. You all need to become journalists and return some dignity to that profession. Anyways...
I would like to weigh in on the discussion regarding how KKL might have traveled to CO and back.
I regularly make a 10hr drive, and have done 15hr straight. I have driven 20hrs round trip in under 72hrs. That was tiring but possible. As an experienced driver in decent physical condition I find it is not difficult, but almost relaxing at times and good for thinking. I am older than KKL but might be in better shape. No Sonic burgers for me, lol.
But when I read the post in which Gardener1850 postulated that KKL took a private plane, I had to consider this a real possibility for several reasons.
I have friends who are pilots, and I’m not all that well connected or anything. It may be more common in some places than people think. When I have been to small airports, the atmosphere (as I believe Dave F mentioned) can be quite casual. I have been to very small airports where I saw no one other than the pilot I was with. Seems crazy in this modern era but this has been recently. Also they are supposed to file flight plans but do not always do so, nor do they always stick to a flight plan in practice. So she could have flown quite “under the radar” so to speak.
Someone else mentioned that CB talked about people potentially seeing KB as she drove towards Pueblo and surmised that possibly her phone had pinged in that direction, which is towards her work, an airport, which would seem logical. Let’s assume for a moment that did happen.
Then came the cellphone ping in Gooding. I remember reading that there is a landing strip there by the Snake River, within the range where the cellphone would’ve pinged that one isolated tower. I bet that landing strip is not usually overrun with people since it is out in the middle of nowhere. I am just guessing here.
The reason I think this is so plausible is because I think PF and KKL could have thought it was really clever to make it appear that KB had flown somewhere. Maybe some shady associate of KKL had their own reason to be in CO for Thanksgiving. KKL’s verbosity aside, the rodeo crowd is very insular and they tend to keep quiet and stand by their own. So I don’t think that individual would’ve necessarily come forward.
And, as someone else pointed out, that scenario would give some context to why BFF told the Rs that KB was a pilot “also.”
Like others have said, I am not really attached to this theory, I just believe it is way more possible than some are making it out to be.
Sorry I wrote a novella for my first post, much of it a recap, but I wanted to be thorough! Prayers to KB and family and may justice be served!
MOO.
