How come Kristen and the "blonde woman" were never captured on surveillance cameras at the mall?
1) Back then, cameras were not as pervasive.
2) It might not have been her
3) It might not have been true.
If it was her, and the account was accurate, would it change any theories?
If it wasn't Kristen, or the description was inaccurate, what is the new theory?
I remain convinced that:
1) She did not get swept into the ocean
or commit suicide.
2) It did involve someone she knew
Either at work, the mall or where she lived. And by involve, I mean there was a connection or link, not necessarily a conspiracy. (That includes most likely Luque, Lambo, Onuma)
3) While Onuma may not fit the profile of a killer, people in his sphere could be.
When he made the call to LE, while being linked to the case it seems to me that:
A) Either he was deflecting from his own guilt in a total fabrication and false accusation OR
B) He knew that he would be linked, and was deflecting with some degree of Truth.
That is what con artists do...
Which is more likely?
I think its B)
Something he said was true, but twisted.
What part is true?
Since Lampo has apparently cooperated, we don't know what that really means.
What sort of people were Onuma and Lampo connected to?
(Just about everything seems possible there)
So, what motives are most likely?
1) Rape or coercion where she resisted?
2) Robbery?
3) Jealousy?
4) Abduction for slavery?
5) She was a witness to something?
You have to factor in that for the typical
Crimes above, there is usually a body or more clear evidence. In this case, were the perps really experienced criminals, really smart, or just really lucky?
Or did LE do a really bad job?
Perhaps a combination...
Most rapes don't end in murder.
Those raped and murdered are usually found.
Those raped and murdered are usually lower status, as are those abducted.
So, I do think that either she resisted a situation involving some experienced criminals and/or there was an emotional element.
To cause her to vanish was to conceal evidence, as the criminal would be clearly linked to her.
Or, she was abducted (possible, just unlikely)
