What is a Verified Insider?
A "verified insider" (VI) is an individual withfirst-hand knowledge of the facts of a case (or some portion of the facts). AVI can be a family member, friend, classmate, employer, private investigator, or anyone else acquainted with a victim or suspect. Being "verified"means that an admin or owner has confirmed the member's identity andrelationship to a case. (Not everyone who claims to be an insider makes it through the verification process.) VIs may post what they know or opine without providing MSM links to back up “facts”. Other members may assign whatever weight they deem appropriate to those posts, using their best judgment and giving it as much weight as they think it is worth.

Accordingly, here is the link to the verification processfor anyone who has inside knowledge of the case and wishes to become a VI:

I saw this site posted on FB so I thought I'd join the discussion. I read that Crystal's parents died when she was eleven. Does anyone know how they died? Was it an accident, a murder or did they go missing?

I was actually curious about that myself. I haven't heard how they died, I just assumed a car accident or something like that.
 
In the previous thread, it stated in the Nancy Grace show the Sheriff said the family contaminated the townhouse. As far as we know to this point, the townhouse was not part of a crime scene. All we know was it was under renovation. There has been no mention of her stopping there on the day she disappeared.
 
So if Crystal and BF have only been dating a month, how often could they have even seen other? I mean she is a realtor, works part time as a flight attendant, has 2 kids and is renovating a house. When does this woman have time to date? Plus planning a family cruise and a trip to Europe after only a month seems odd, but I'm married, so maybe I'm just out of touch with such things.
 
Can we include a link to thread 1 in the opening post?

I read her ex-husband texted her about a dishwasher arriving. Was the dishwasher delivered to her townhouse and if so did he have keys to the townhouse and drove over there to put the dishwasher in place or was it delivered to his home!?
 
Frankly, the only person acting "normal" in this whole fiasco is the little girl asking for her Mommy the night before a significant weather event.

Page not found for me, also.

It is from the first thread originally posted on August 28. Sometimes they will pull an article if there's an update, and then post it somewhere else on the site. Since then there have been several other MSM articles.

Crystal seems like she was handling it all and taking it all in stride. She is a divorced woman so there is no harm in her playing the field.

I'm just amazed she and BF have only been dating a month, what with overnight visits and plans for not one but two cruises together. Things really seemed to be going fast. They must have really hit it off.

I'm still thinking there is a possibility this was random, a crime of opportunity with Harvey coming. She is beautiful, well put together, drives a luxuary vehicle. That would attract a lot of attention, good and bad.

With Harvey coming, I can see the family feeling like hey we're on their own with trying to find her. The police were tied up for DAYS during the time she was missing so I can see the family going through the car, since they found it, not the police and seeing if anything in the car or at the townhouse would give me any clues to where she may have gone.

I just really hope she is somewhere safe and makes it back to her children. FWIW.
 
I find it unlikely that she was dating anyone besides BF. I mean it's possible, but that would just be a heck of a lot to juggle.

So far, we haven't found anything that says whether the dishwasher was for the reno at the townhouse or for the EXes home where she was staying to be with her children.
 
Did the boyfriend actually say "one month"? Is there a link to this? I saw an article where someone else said they'd been dating about a month, but not a direct quote from him.

Yes, he did. It is quoted in the Crime Online article.
 
It's weird that after dating for a month, the boyfriend is speaking about where crystal has ties. Like saying she has no ties to the ping area or motel area. Unless he's taking it upon himself to share family information, I don't see how he could know after a month.

Interesting to know that the boyfriend and ex both took polygraphs

I think her uncle is totally crushed and rushed to search everywhere, including the townhouse and car. I think he just wants crystal and didn't even think about evidence.
