On April 22, poster curiousjo asks the same questions we can still ask about the two texts someone received from Kelli (or the perp).
How did the military official (unnamed) know about them and who received them? The military were the first to know there was a problem because Kelli had not shown up for work. They called her husband and spoke to him first. They were the first to speak to him.
I'm not going after him, this is just a fact.
Here's a possibility ~ On Monday Kelli's boss called her husband to inquire as to Kelli's whereabouts. If the texts were sent to Mike, then he told the military peeps that he had received the 'Got home safely' text from Kelli. If he received the text, why would it be a secret? How else would a representative from the military have that tidbit of info early in the case? If LE shared it with that person, they would not release it and remain anonymous. But if the husband had mentioned it to him, he may have just let it slip out early in the case not realizing it would pose a problem in the future. Because, if the husband received the text, he could be the one who sent it to himself using Kelli's phone (just as NH could have done). If someone knows that and was told that directly by the husband, they know, LE knows, etc. Only after the fact, did it sink in what that text might mean.
Then there's John B. who had been trying to reach Kelli since Friday when she never returned his text when she always had before.
If it was him, he wouldn't have said that he never heard back from her on Friday as he claims he did not.
Then there's whoever Kelli's brother refers to as 'Justin'? but I haven't gotten that far yet.
