I haven’t read anything about her phone - official or unofficial so far

Keith Kostial posted a photo of his daughter as a little girl on Facebook Thursday, writing that "This is one of my all-time favorite pics."

He also posted a message of thanks on Facebook for the comforting words the family has received since her death.

"We are speechless from the amount of love and support that has been expressed and wish we could respond to each and every one of you,'' he wrote. "We thank you for all your prayers, blessings and kind words."

Police arrested fellow University of Mississippi student BT, 22, on Monday morning at a Memphis gas station 80 miles away and charged him with murder. AK was found on July 20 with eight gunshot wounds, sources close to the investigation told NBC affiliate WLBT.

This breaks my heart. Once these emotional abuser malignant narcissists show you who they are, please please believe them! There is no good side that is real. It's all just manipulation to reel you back in!

Too many young women put their faith in this type of guy and end up dead because of them.

I was also wondering how they identified her so quickly.

Has there been any comment or anything from his mother?

No haven’t seen anything from mother or sisters. But if the dormmate below is to be believed then I suspect he had mommy issues. Most guys who are older brothers to younger sisters learn how to treat women well. The fact this guy is an older brother to 2 younger sisters and as described has no respect for women leads me to believe he didn’t have much of a relationship with the women in his family. JMHO of course.

Maybe she had ID in a pocket or her phone was found with her.

< modsnip - rumor unless a link from MSM is provided>
My theory is that she arrived home from the uber and likely had been texting with Brandon all night. Once she arrived home, he lured her to meet him somewhere to "talk". Things went south afterwards...

A motion to deny bond to Brandon Theesfeld has been filed by District Attorney Ben Creekmore. Reports surfaced Thursday night that Creekmore had filed the motion to deny the 22-year-old bail, who is facing a murder charge in the death of Ally Kostial.

The motion was filed earlier in the week, ahead of Theesfeld’s initial court appearance, according to co-counsel Tony Farese.

“They did that initially with their standard request at the beginning before the agreement to not hear the bond hearing until a later date,” Farese told the EAGLE on Friday morning.

[...]

Officials at the Lafayette County Courthouse told the EAGLE on Friday morning the case file has since been sealed. The Associated Press reported Theesfeld’s case will be heard by a grand jury. The final grand jury meeting in Lafayette County this year will take place Aug. 27 through 30, but it is not known if this case will be presented during that period.

Why would it be sealed?

my guess is they don't want the details of the murder out yet. IMO

The grand jury is more than a month away. Sealing case so early also means no warrants, arrest affidavit, autopsy, etc. released to public. MOO

Right. But why? Doesn’t This go against public’s rights? He’s not a minor, he’s not high profile, and there’s no threat to public so why the seal here?

Hmmm my only thought would be to protect the future integrity of a jury. It'll be hard enough finding an impartial jury in such a small town. Heck, it might even get moved to another county.

There’s a ton of small town murder trials and cases aren’t sealed. I just Hope this is to Protect the victim here and not the perp.

When you think about it, most of the details that have been made public came from the City of Oxford (Friday night video), from Memphis (arrest pics and details), and from reporters following up on leaks (Lakeside Market), but very little has been shared by Lafayette County, which is in charge of the case.

I wonder if they are planning to up his charges to double homicide and they don’t want to release personal information about the victim at this time?

IMO, both. I've noticed a very protective attitude about the victim - like the situation needs to be kept shushed. And I'm sure the defense is pleased with it being sealed too.
