I'm still trying to wrap my head around these items, sourced here:
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/49383897.html
In the above quote, there is no mention of other friends. Just, "that she [LB] talked to her friend for a bit". Not plural. Friend. MB did not say LB walked toward home with <insert name here>.
Continue reading for why I am highlighting this point.
In the above quote, SW states, "asked Lindsey to go". Also, no mention of any other friends involved in the scene.
But then we have this:
We may assume "witnesses" to be KK, SW and MK, given the phrase: "headed out". I interpret that as meaning, 'just leaving'. So it stands to reason, the "witnesses" are the house occupants.
But .... what about the "another friend" item?
When did this [an]other friend appear? Who is the friend? Age? Did SW also tell the friend to go home? Was the friend an adult? No mention of the other friend in previous paragraphs.
This is one of a few key early issues in this case. I know this has been hashed and re-hashed, and shrugged off as mistaken reporting but I do not read it as such.
If there were many more principals involved in that scene, I would understand a mixup or confusion in reporting.
But the only principals inside MK's house that evening, we have:
Which one of those principals [minus LB, of course] told a reporter that "another friend even walked her part of the way" ?
- KK
- SW
- MK
- LB
- MK's siblings? (Were any of them present, in first-person? Were they in their bedrooms? Unknown, I did not locate a report regarding MK's siblings whereabouts for that evening).
Let's go to the next scene, outside of MK's house:
http://www.komonews.com/news/49891642.html
Again no mention of "walking with someone".
Before that 04/03/2009 news item was published, the second witness had already come forward:
http://www.komonews.com/news/local/49651607.html
I did not locate a story on that web site that reported on a 'first witness'. Sloppy reporting, that.
The relevant point is that the 6th Street west corner is very close to MK's house. Either KK, SW, MK or an MK sibling walked LB out their door, possibly to the 6th St. west corner and then subsequent witness(es) saw LB on or after that corner.
... OR ...
Someone from MK's house that evening lied to the reporter (or police?) about what really occured.
Why did the story change and, just as important, why did the report include "another friend"?
Hi Chuck, There is a gal named Mary who lives/ed across the street from the Kamden's and down a few houses towards town near the corner. She had a friend visiting her and they were both out in the yard when Lindsey walked by headed towards home. Both of these gals knew Lindsey and one of them had worked with her mother. One of these ladies was the witness who placed Lindsey walking past at 9:15 as I remember.
I'll try to find the name of the friend who walked part way with Lindsey as I think I know where I can find that.
PS: It has been so long since I've brought all this info up out of my brain. So names - I'd have to go back and refresh. xox
