I would like to know this for sure, because it would be significant.

JMO.

That’s the first I’ve heard of the cell phone being found on church steps. This is just a comment on the go fund me page, so not verified.

Right, not verified. It seems this same poster wrote the same thing on her brother, CLB, fb page as well. It would be helpful if we could get just a few solid answers to the questions we have.

We have very little verified information. All we have is what the last person to see her was reported. All we can do is speculate. So I will.

Either
A) info we have is a lie and she was harmed at the house

B) she left the house willingly then was picked up on foot or arrived somewhere and was harmed

All signs seem to be pointed to A although my inclination is B.

What other scenarios are there that you guys have come up with?

All MOO

You're right that we don't have any real verified info here so it's hard to know what is true and what is rumor. We don't even know for certain who the last person to see her was. Based on the info we have both A and B are very good speculations and are probably the most likely scenarios. I don't believe that she has left voluntarily and is hiding out somewhere. I also don't think this"Rhino" character is in involved in this and was just a distraction. From all accounts from family she would never leave her son for this long without making some contact.

What steers me away from B is probabilities. It just isn't likely that she had 2 run-ins with 2 different men - one of them seemingly entirely random - in that short of a time, much less that the 2nd run-in would've resulted in harm to her. Not saying it is impossible, but she would have to have unbelievably bad luck. That, coupled with all of the other things that would've had to align that day for that scenario to occur leads me to believe that she was far more likely to have been harmed in the company of where she was last known to be.

JMO.

I agree. I do think the boyfriend is the dad

It would be great of this was verified!! Like you, I also think the boyfriend is the dad. [I’m basing my thoughts on social media pics, ownership records of the house, and family obits giving family names. ]

it just changes things if he is dad because it makes it possible she left the house being the dad was there.

Is local news covering this?

Same here, I’m basing to he assumption that the current bf is the father of her son on info gathered from Facebook posts of family members.

Yes there has been local news covering this
Authorities search last place missing Newport woman was seen

JMO.

Yes, for sure. That was my assumption but y’all are right—we don’t know.

The missing poster said she was last seen walking from the home and her clothing, but we have no idea who said that. It’s one thing if it was the person she just fought with, quite another if it was a neighbor or someone at the church.

He is the dad of her son

 

[DocBrew]

Any news?

 

[ilovematt]

Too good of a case for page 2!

Agreed. I can’t put my finger on it but this one has the makings of trending on websleuths, for a short time i hope. So many variables and literally not one straight story so far IMO. Dad, you’re her champion. Help us help you.

I’m so curious about this too. IMO that can be very telling. If the cops and the sleepy little paper are quiet it can mean LE said shhh. I mean it doesn’t take a veteran detective to realize there’s something that stinks. The mattress and couch on the trailer baffle me. I can’t reason what the tenant thing is about, why they would load up furniture and wtf wouldn’t LE have that? Potentially time sensitive evidence sitting in the conditions on a trailer? I’m so confused.

 

[Gary Bumgardner]

Nope

 

[LaylaD]

Nope

Is that a 'nope' to local news coverage? Do you know why this hasn't been in the news? Is there anything that can be done to build awareness?

My thoughts with you and your family and prayers that Kristen returns home.

 

[Gary Bumgardner]

I don't know what to do. She is missed and loved by alot of people. We want her back.

 

[GraceG]

My thoughts go out to the family. I spent years married to someone bipolar who could be abusive. If he verbally or physically tore into me for some perceived slight the last thing I would do is leave on foot. I'd take means to pay for lodging, a phone, and my vehicle and get as far away as quickly away as I could. I certainly would NOT leave my child behind. If I could not do that, I'd run, to the first police station available.

The local news has covered this but not a ton and IMO that's not unusual for this area. A few years ago we had another young mother, Summer Swindell, disappear and I was surprised at the limited coverage during her case as well.

nevermind, I looked it up. Did they check any abandon houses in the area if there are any.
