GUILTY IN - Kegan Anthony Kline, 27, arrested Aug 29, 2020, 30 Counts associated with CSAM

[SunnyBooBoo]

KAK has already admitted to catfishing. Other than this female, no one has said he met with anyone in person.

Doing the math, this now 21-year-old person is saying that when she was 14, after knowing KAK online since she was 12, met him at a "packed" public park with her friend. She later got a Facebook message with the alleged threat from KAK.
Supposing KAK got angry because Libby brought a friend with her, does that mean he was actually at the bridge? How would that result in RA killing the girls, if they are in cahoots?

Apologies if this has been addressed but it's hard to keep up with all the forums related to Delphi.

Am I understanding correctly that this then 14 year old girl was talking to the AS profile, went to meet "him" with a friend and instead its KK that shows up? Did the 12 year old girl actually MEET KK or did he observe her and her friend from a distance?

 

[TL4S]

There is no separate murder charge for him deriving sexual gratification from the murders. I would argue it was premeditated, even if just from when he saw them on the bridge, and that he had weapon(s) on his person. A plan to take them where they were discovered was not just made that day, in my opinion.
If one accepts that the brutal murder and disrobing of the victims is sexually motivated, in my opinion, it should be realized that this is done by a certain type of killer. A predator.
Edit to add

I agree, although again, we have never heard from any verified source that the girls were disrobed. We know something was taken, and that the rest of the girls' clothing was recovered from the CS, per the FBI agent in the RL search pc, and we know L's shoe was likely off her foot from KG's description of the moment the searchers found the bodies, but LE has never confirmed or denied a SA, whether the girls were found with clothes on or off, or anything related.

Don't get me wrong, my assumptions are the same as yours. There are a lot of new members following this case recently, though, so I just want it to be clear to them what details are confirmed, and which are speculations, no matter how obvious those speculations might seem. Jmo.

but LE has never confirmed or denied a SA

SA is not a necessary component of sexually motivated murder. It is often absent and some evidence of motivation may not be on the victim's body. MOO

Hearing that some clothing was recovered and an article is missing, to me, might not be proof that LE is disclosing they were undressed but it's close.
I'm not discounting all of the other information that is not official.

Supposedly, the female had contact with KAK online when she was 12, same female met him at a park when she was 14. She took another female friend with her, to meet KAK at the park. She says she actually met him face to face and that he looked like his booking photos. She doesn't remember what names were being used online and can't access that Facebook profile anymore.

I think it's entirely possible that some men simply like baggy jeans/pants. Not all do but some most certainly do. (MOO) Granted, I don't think RA was a fashion divo (male equivalent of a diva), and I highly doubt he followed men's fashion, but I do think it's quite possible that he simply wore baggy pants without putting much more into it than that. MOO!

ETA - It might not be the style some of you like to wear but who's to say it's not what he prefers? We're all different in our tastes and styles.

If KAK wasn't the only person, who had contact to girls via A_S, then this threat to the girl might have been not his but the real killer's brutal expression. Of course he had to have knowledge of the meeting (with two girls instead of only one); KAK might have told him, who knows. IMO

 

[UnapologeticallyAspie]

Has it crossed anyone’s minds that perhaps KAK’s missing phone could have been with RA, when it was supposedly missing? And then given back to KAK at a later time?

Just thinking out loud. ymmv

Sounds possible to me. LE definitely think there was more than 1 person talking to young girls from KAK's phone.

Doubtful on RA having KK missing phone. Since LE has already identified the locations the phone was used and RA was not on the radar with any of these connections or had his name come up in the investigation.

 

[Thewiley]

Just an updated this morning. They are requesting to drop 5 charges at this time due to them feeling they will not be "beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold. They are also requesting to downgrade a number of charges as well.

Prosecutor requests 5 counts to be dismissed in Kegan Kline’s upcoming child *advertiser censored* trial (link goes to fox59.com, but due to sensors in the article title gets blocked)

My thoughts… plea deal JMO

 

[taylorss]

In exchange for testifying against RA you think?

 

[NoSpoonFeeding]

n exchange for testifying against RA you think?

The news article is from Nov 3, the prosecutor said that the evidence was lacking for 5 of the charges, the ones that were dropped.

Not very significant as he still has 25 charges and a trial date set. His attorney seems to have been working toward a plea deal for more than 2 years and they failed to reach an agreement at least twice.

Do you think KAK would sit in jail for 2 1/2 years with 30 charges pending if he could get a deal in exchange for testimony in a homicide? There has never been shown any link between KAK and RA. In almost 6 six years of investigation, they have never shown any evidence that KAK is involved in the murders. The interrogation transcripts are not evidence, they are questions and statements by LE.

In exchange for testifying against RA you think?

I don’t think so as only 5 of his 30 charges were dropped. As those charges related to possession, it’s possible they were dropped because the prosecution isn’t able to prove the victims were minors at the time.

 

[MistyWaters]

Debunking another rumour I notice still floating around here and there, that KAK helped LE find RA’s cellphone, knife, _______whatever in the river, it’s just not true.

I-Team 8: There has been a lot of activity on this case today. Kegan Kline, 28, is a figure linked to the Delphi murders investigation, although he has not been charged in the deaths of Abby and Libby.(On) Kegan Kline, the prosecutor dismissed five charges. Is there any correlation between those charges being dropped and the search that was performed in the Wabash River?

Carter: No, absolutely not. I think he was charged with 30 counts, and they have dropped five, so it is 25. So, it is important the case has not been dropped against Kegan Kline.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter, in an interview Thursday with I-Team 8, said his agency is still looking for others involved the Delphi murders.

AFAIK the five dropped charges were before his trial was delayed due to settlement negotiations

My point was that there is no relationship between activity in this case with the arrest of RA. There have been regular changes/developments for over 2 years on KAK's court calendar.
Dropping the charges before the approaching trial date agrees with what the prosecutor said, that the cases were lacking in evidence, not due to any plea negotiations.

I linked the case, now set for the 4th trial date, and it was not the first negotiation for a plea.

Yep that’s what I saw too - the most recent delay happened right after RA was arrested! Lol
