While I am hoping that this body found off of Ramsey Street is KB simply so that her family will know where she is for once and for all, my gut is telling me that it's not her. Think about it: hypothetically, if for whatever reason, you murdered somebody & you had a WHOLE weekend (Late Friday night/early Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon), would you really dispose of the body three miles, give or take some, from the location where the victim was last seen? I know if it were me, I would get the heck outta dodge, maybe go to a different state. I think that's why this case has been so baffling, just because the perp had so much time between Kelli's last appearance & when she was reported missing. If you're smart enough about the situation, a lot can happen in 48 hours. However, I have met a ton of people during my 21 years in Fayetteville and I would say that a good majority of them would not be intelligent enough to pull off a disappearance such as this one: no clues, no real evidence, and a bunch of dead ends, which is a reason I feel like the body found could be KB's, but that's about the only reason.
As for NH, my hubby and I have discussed this time and time again. I wish we knew more about his situation with the child back when he was a teenager. If he did it simply because he's attracted to children (yikes), why would he target an older (older than a child, obviously) woman? But, people go through crazy changes between the age when he committed the offense and the age he is now, so maybe his types of attraction have changed.
If he committed those despicable acts with that child simply out of curiosity, then he would be a more plausible suspect in this case for me. I have different feelings on different days about NH. Some days, I think there are too many variables that pin him to this disappearance, but there are other days when I just think that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm just really on the fence about him.
Something my husband and I also discussed was KB's husband recently creating a Zoosk account: an online dating website. I am friends with her husband on Facebook & the update came up on my newsfeed that he had joined the site and linked it with his Facebook. I think he removed the link though as soon as it posted because I went back to check it out and it was gone. Something seems weird there. You know, while his wife may be gone and there's no certainty that she's coming back alive, there's still a level of sensitivity that needs to be respected, at least until the case has been resolved. If I were to go missing, my husband told me that he would be out on his own every day doing everything he could to find me and it would certainly take him longer than three months to move on from the situation and start dating again. So why is MB so quick to jump back into the dating world while his wife's disappearance is under such heavy investigation? Seems odd and offsetting IMO.
There is a lot going on behind closed doors and I think this steady quiet that we've been experiencing the past month or two is just the calm before the storm. I think that LE has a grasp on who the perp is and at this point, they're just collecting hard evidence and building a case against this person before they make an arrest. I have no doubt in my mind that have pin pointed exactly who did it.
Another thing I am on the fence about is their marriage. It literally could go either way with me. Maybe they didn't have problems. Maybe they did. But, Kelli going out to the same bar two or three times does not signify marriage problems. I've seen people on different websites saying that they must have had marriage problems if she was going out to bars without him, but my husband works nearly every night of the week and I, personally, find it a bit relaxing to go out to a bar and have a few drinks with friends. I go to a bar local to Fayetteville every Friday night to unwind and relax and have fun. Does that mean there are problems with my marriage? No. My marriage is not perfect, but sometimes a girl has to let her hair down! I think it was an honest mistake on Kelli's part - a wrong place, wrong time of sorts. From what I understand, the night that she vanished, she was not with friends; she was there alone with the exception of NH, a man she barely knew. I think KB had been working hard all week and wanted a break; to go somewhere casual and gritty and a place that she thought was safe.
Cases like this kind of make you realize just how something minuscule could make a difference; such as going alone to a bar as opposed to taking a friend.
Sorry for my long post but that's JMHO.
