When I was told the information about this strange vehicle appearing on that person's land, I immediately contacted a friend of mine who is in law enforcement, but not in Lowndes. I asked him to pass the info on. The person this happened to, made a phone call to LE, is my understanding, but nothing more happened. A third person, a friend of the person reporting this, also made a contact with LE. At the time, I think they were pursuing other leads, and this lead would have sounded vague at the time, and would make more sense as more info came out.
This is the first I've heard that Triplett admitted to being out and on property in Alabama that day. The area where I first sensed she was, is only a few miles from Alabama. The road where the strange truck appeared and went through the other person's land, leads to Alabama, and is only a few miles from Alabama line as well.
The weird thing about the truck that night, was it went through an area that was not a road. It was just land, a field, and it went on up to the back of that field, and onto other land, and did not stay all that long. It would have been long enough to have buried something. I hate to say the word body, but I want to see this girl found, and justice brought, for her sake. It was puzzling to the people who reported this, because they couldn't figure out what the truck was doing or why it went there and it gave them a bad feeling. They didn't want to go up to their part of the land and see what was going on.
But it would put her in Mississippi near the Alabama line, still in Lowndes. Perhaps that's what the intention was when he said Alabama? Partial truth. Perhaps, too, he could have intentionally put her on someone else's land near her family's land, so that if someone did drive up and say what are you doing here, he would cover by saying he was checking out his stepdaughter's family's land, and then act ignorant of the actual land boundaries if confronted, because after all, he only married into the family. LE should check land right next to land owned by Kaila's family. He's too slick of a criminal to have put his victims in the most obvious place, her family land. He'd also want to check on it later, make sure his tracks were covered, so it would have to be next to the land that he'd have a good excuse for being on.
I understand she was about to inherit a lot on her 21 birthday.
I do remember the road and passed that on to my friend in LE, but I don't want to make it public info because it puts the person who reported it in an uncomfortable position and they did not want to be put in danger, either. I did not hear this story straight from the person it happened to. I only heard it second-hand from their friend. I had permission to pass it on, but not to reveal the person, only the location. I actually do not know anything about the person, including name, just the location. I did pass the info on, but it's been a long time ago.
I'll go back and look at my email to LE friend and see about resending it with added info that you have posted here. It's possible there are two different witness groups to that strange group, was my understanding at the time, so not just the one group. But only the one group was wanting to report it, but feared reprisal by the killer if word got out. Luckily Triplett has been behind bars for awhile so it's safer.
I agree, bless her, and if he did kill her, which unfortunately seems so, may she rest in peace, and may justice prevail.
