VA VA - Kelly Catalano, 40, Chesterfield, 15 Jan 2010 - #1

[ckwood32]

I have thought from the very beginning her sexual preference is women. Didn't want to bring it up in case it offends anyone. It does matter ONLY because I think whoever did this to her is someone she was romantically involved with. At least we know it most likely is a woman that could have been stalking her. JMO.

Logical - you may feel that this bit of hunting talk is not relevant and you are entitled to your opinion.

However, there are some on this thread who are interested in knowing who Kelly was as a person. What were her habits, how did she think about things, etc.

IMHO that is as relevant as knowing about dating and love interests.

The point is that we are hearing a lot about hunting but nothing about "relationships" when the question has been asked various times

also...have any of these family and insiders been "verified"??

(stepping over the hippo/elephant/deer in the living room)

To my knowledge none of them have

How are insiders typically verified? If someone needs to verify that I am one of her yoga teachers then verify away.

Anyway, I'm hoping that since we haven't heard from the nieces in awhile that some deeper investigating is going on.

How long had Kelly been at her current job?

I hope you're not offended by the verification thing, it keeps peeps from saying they are someone they really aren't. Thanks for joining us here and giving a perspective of Kelly we wouldn't have known.

Not offended at all-the process makes sense. On that note, just exchanged emails with Tricia who said to let people know that she's currently verifying me and to keep posting as if I were verified.

I keep hoping that if this thread stays alive then the investigators won't give up on trying to find her.

 

[Knox]

I have a feeling Kelly's family is not going to let that happen, they have been very proactive from the beginning. Any other insights or information you can give us? We're just trying to get a feel for who Kelly is.

 

[LogicalMinds]

I do find it interesting that ccweb immediately thought of a "gym" connection

has there been problems with guys bothering women?? Or maybe just a few guys who
are too "forward" or ??

I can imagine that would be a good place for a "stalker" to stalk at....knowing her gym routine, showing up at the same time...

def something to think about JMO

Hi, ccweb....

welcome and thank you for joining us!!

You mentioned in your first post that you got a weird vibe from Kelly as she left yoga class when you last saw her. Would you please expound on this....was anything stated by Kelly? did she give you an odd look? did she act differently in some way as she was leaving?

Thank you so much for giving us insight to Kelly's personality - she seems like she would be everyone's friend.....she just has that happy, friendly look. We all want to see her come home soon. (prayers)

Thursday night after class, Kelly handed me a small box of an eye cream and asked me to give it to another instructor that often teaches the same time slot. When I looked her in the eye as I took the gift, it just seemed like something was on her mind. (I picked up on this at the time, not in retrospect fyi).

I don't think giving things to people spontaneously was unusual behavior for her either. A while back she let me borrow a book by Thich Nhat Hahn, "Teachings on Love". She just brought it to me, I didn't ask to borrow it or even know about the book beforehand. I borrowed it forever. One time I apologized that I had borrowed it for so long, she said "just keep it." I finally got it back to her a few weeks later. (This also speaks to her being a spiritual seeker that asks questions and wants to know about the afterlife, but not in a morbid way). She always comes across as uplifting and positive.)

On the gym connection, I remember noting several times that she seemed to know a lot of different people there. She seemed to be in the loop with some body builder types. Always saw her talking to different people before the yoga class. There are some weight machines just outside the Mind Body studio, as well as some workout mats where people do crunches etc...

I've told all of this to the detective and family. I pray that revealing this information on here is productive. I feel a little strange about it, but I guess that's natural considering the terrible circumstances.

Thanks to everyone for keeping her in your prayers, etc.

CCweb and ConcernedinVA,

Welcome to Websleuths. I have a question about Kelly's social life that others haven't asked.

Did Kelly ever go to bars or taverns with her friends, lovers, or colleagues from work that you know of?

Were there any incidents in the bars or taverns where someone gave her a hard time or someone had an infatuation with Kelly?

Did she ever expressed any concerns to her friends or family about being stalked by someone?

I'm considering the possibility that Kelly was seen in a public place somewhere and over time she was stalked by someone.

 

[Knox]

We also know she played softball and I think I saw reference to a motorcycle. Anyone know if she owns one?

I wouldn't know the answers to those questions, and no, she did not own a motorcycle.

Please note the following request:

It's a request to protect just about everyone, including yourself. If you haven't contacted Tricia yet, I urge you to do so.

ETA:I see from Tricia's page that you already asked to be vetted. Good for you! (Sorry for the nudge.)

Thanks!

I would like to know if LE took fingerprints from the doors of the house and from the goggles found on the ground, and was her computer taken for analysis. Could she have arranged for someone to pick her up at 10.am that morning by boat or car? Why are her co-workers acting so strangely, was she being mistreated? something is not right here!

Thank you for your concern. I have already sent a note to Tricia.

Not a thing. In fact, I think it was here on Websleuths that I found out about the gloves and the glasses. Like you all, I am relying on the news and web updates for information.
