Hello WebSleuths,
I'm still decompressing from the Watts case and dealing with a time zone problem on this case, but I haven't been able to sleep the past few nights worrying Kelsey and Kaylee and trying to figure out this case.
I'm glad to have Kelsey's cousin here. She may be able to answer some of my questions in trying to get a grip on this crime.
Apologies if these things have been discussed....
LE said that after further examination of Kelsey's house, they determined that she was
deceased and killed at her home. I know that the firefighter was asked to bring a ladder and later the neighbors heard pounding.
In my mind, I thought, "What would tell LE that she was dead? Was it after Luminol testing showed a tremendous amount of blood splatter?
Was it that (forgive me), brain matter was found on the walls or ceiling?
What were Kelsey' plan for Thanksgiving? Was she meeting anyone or having anyone over?
The cinnamon rolls are important in that if she were planning to drive up to Idaho to meet her family as Patrick said, she wouldn't have left food out on the counter that would attract mice and cockroaches while she was gone.
I had trouble watching Patrick's Youtube videos about "training" his cattle dogs that he was breeding and selling.
IMO this was animal abuse to the dogs and cattle in the demo. I haven't seen the horse footage but I think it's clear that Patrick is not a Dog, Cattle or Horse Whisperer.
I am wondering why Kelsey's mother in one of her interviews is saying that Kelsey and Patrick had a loving relationship. While in other reports, Kelsey had told Patrick on the day before Thanksgiving that their relationship was over.
Could it be that Kelsey didn't want to worry her mother?
Was she more honest with friends and other family members?
I have mixed em0tions whether Patrick was a predator who actively sought out a target(Kelsey) due to his dire financial situation or whether he was just looking for love. He would know that Kelsey's life insurance money would go to Kaylee. If he killed Kelsey, he would be in control of
the insurance money while he supported Kaylee.
I think that Kelsey's cousin did a very important thing in asking trucker's to look out for her.
I have a feeling that the case will be solved by a drone spotting Kelsey's bagged remains, thrown by the hwy that goes between her home and Idaho just like the bed sheet was spotted by a drone in the Watts case.
I wish that Tomnod would have sleuths volunteer to go thru the satellite images
of the hwy. I volunteered during Malaysia Air MH370 to search for wreckage. I know that many people would volunteer to help to help Kelsey.
DISCLAIMER: I'm pretty much a vegetarian but am descended from tobacco, hog and cattle farmers so I understand that life. I don't think it's so strange that Patrick lived with his mother to run his cattle. Multi-generational farms have been in existence forever and this economy is bad.
However, his voice commanding his dogs gave me chills. Those dogs and the cattle were terrified of him. It doesn't have to be that way.
Yes, the cattle probably ended being hamburgers
and that hurts to think about.
Patrick's dogs look to be border collies. They are whip smart.
My farming uncles had border collies who could go get the cattle in the field, bring them to the barn and close the door. All it took was a vocal command. No cruelty with words, whips or tying them up.
