[Cheri_G]

Mornin' All,

Here we are on the weekend holiday board. Nothing new in the news this morning that I can find.

Hopefully LE will release some new details soon.

[HALE 2d GNAW]

Top of the morn' to ya, CheriG

This case bothers me. So may oddities. None of them seem to add up IMO. I have given up hope that LE will release any useful information that might help find Kristi. Could we pick up the slack? IDK as it is a
T A L L order. So here goes.

*Why o Why does the family not have more current videos/photos in their possession? The lone video released is from 1993-1994. I don't recall a date for the photo oif KC in the blue shirt (photo that is on missing posters).

*The family asked friends and/or neighbors to submit pictures," Coulda missed them, butI havent seen any updated id from the requests to date.

*Kristi was visiting Blairsville. Has anyone spoken about seeing her from the dates of her arrival thru her disappearance?

*Kristi's mom "knew right away" when she heard DD on the other end that he was serious (paraphrasing)

*Why is everyone so hush hush (excluding DD) What good could come out oif the withholding of info vs releasing what little info known that might find Kristi? Unless they are trying to outsmart the perp?

*IF Kristi left on her own, how and why? Did she have help?

*Why doesn't Kristi's dad elaborate on his comment be careful who you meet on the internet

*IF DD ever met Kristi, wouldn't he take a picture of his soon to be bride? Don't most dating sites provide photos? Usually cyber romances are full of cybernet exchanges, i.e. photos, texts, posts.


Sending out an S.O.S for Kristi's case to be solved. Just my rambling thoughts inspired by seems odd :wuv:

Thanks for the thread over here!
Great post hale.....
I've not thought about why DD doesn't have photos..good job on bringing that up! Most new couples that are starting to date do take lots of pics..
I've also wondered why the video of Kristi is so old? I would think that someone has taken video of her since then.
About Kristi leaving on her own. I learned with Mary Beth Smith's case, it doesn't take a lot to leave on your own. she had the money for a bus ticket and that was it. No clothes, no credit cards, no nothing. So it's very possible for someone to leave with hardly anything.
Kristi's Dad's statement really bothers me. He talked about "watching out who you meet on the internet"...So to me...that means..either he was referring to DD...or they found something else on her computer.. Maybe she was talking with other guys too. If she was then she could have left with that person.
The Family being so "hush-hush" reminds me of yet again...Mary Smith's case...
Praying for some news soon!!!
All of this is JMO

I have been reading several bloggs on Kristi's dissapearance it seems most have one thing prominate over any facts/fiction in the case it is obviousl Kristi lived in the BIBLE BELT.

As a divorced (times 3) lady her life must have been truly hard before the spot light was focused on her abduction it seems the general opinion of her so called friends and family was she's a good mother/christian/sister/child/friend. I wonder if any of these people might have been involved in her life before the dissapearance to lend support and encouragement.

I could be wrong but from what I have researched on the net so far "Southern Baptist" doesn't have a positive opinion on divorce.. you can't hold a position of leadership or roll modle in the church such as a teacher etc.

I have noticed a pattern in her family/friend's defense of Kristi, she was a hard worker and a loving part of their family, however the pictures and videos of Kristi are older, why?? Don't most families have holiday pictures, birthday's christmas...etc.. The brother has a career, discussed by the mother (former or present teacher in the school system) does she talk anywhere about Kristi's accomplishment other than the fact she was formaly associated with the LE now in school for a medical career, presently having problems with her admittance for the next quarter no, can't find any positive news from her decision to end her LE carreer in 2002 until she began school at the Dalton College..

You know a 38 year old woman competing with a siblings success, 3 failed marriages, maybe (hypethetical assumption on my part) medical field not what she originally thought she might want to do with the rest of her life, now faced with the prospect of moving back in with the parents again (Southern Baptist) no job, with the economy so bad in this area.

IMO, Kristi must have had a pretty tuff life.

Again the above is just fiction on my part after reading the news reports of her dissapearance, and reading the local b'ville topix threads of petty gossip over one person or another some defend/some judging I just want to hide in a dark corner never to visit that place (blairsville topix) again.

I think I read something the other day about a red pickup truck in Murphy, NC but haven't seen or heard anything since. Have you? I was born and raised about 18 miles south of Blairsville but now live about 150 miles away. sure wish I could hear some more on this case as it hits pretty close to home. TIA

[seemsodd]

If you go back to the previous thread of Kristi from last week you will find a couple of links the GBI says the two cases aren't conected.

And in there may be some truth. Something is very odd about this entire case. LE aren't offering anything, family's not making any public plea's, and those who have crawled out of the woodwork who declare no prior knowledge of DD but defend him with such passion.
One would think considering the the time has been reached that in itself puts Kristi at a much higher rate of being harmed, why has LE continued to offer any form of information that at the least would point us toward some direction

I am local, that's how I know the attitude of local people where divorce is concerned in the church, by the way I am also a Baptist just not a extreme southern baptist. I have seen first hand how people are accepted with limits to their participation in my church I hadn't really paid much attention to the attitudes of my fellow believers until this situation came up I didn't know if it was the small church I attend or Southern Baptist as a whole.. I researched and realized unfair as it is, it's the root belief of MOST southern baptist not all... JMO


I was researching christian single sites to see if maybe Kristi or DD was members on one of these sites (couldn't find dd or kristi on any one I looked thru) the thread topics aren't what I was expecting, also the comments from some of the members when they have actually met other members is pretty scarey.

[Track292003]

IIRC, I read on a Forum that the red truck in Murphy turned out to belong to a neighbor who had dropped something from it and was out covering the ground he'd been over, looking for the item.

Also, I think I read very early on that DD is affiliated/connected with the Southern Baptist church. I found that reassuring, i,.e., much better than some far-out sect no one has ever heard of.

I also have a question: Does anyone know whether Kristi's comment, "Please don't take me," came at the beginning of, at the end of -- or even during -- the alleged 5-minute struggle that DD heard over the phone?

TIA

Thanks seemsodd for all your research...I think many of us feel it's a little strange to not have more recent pics...I know not everyone is a pic hog like me..lol I take pics all the time...but at special events...like you said..Christmas..thanksgivng...family gatherings...but there aren't many of her recent.
another thing that struck me kinda strange...she had been working at home depot..according to one of her friends...Nothing wrong with working there...but she has a degree in CJ...I just don't understand why she would be working there...maybe a part time thing while she is in school??..
Strange case...there seems to be nothing to go on...nothing..

I gotcha now. Thanks for the explanation. As I stated before, the bible belt comment caught me off guard. I misunderstood your research comment. Pls accept mjy apologies.


You bring up some very valid and delicate points about this case. I hope it will be okay to address them. What do you think?

DD says they were talking about her going back to school, and working out all the details for some paperwork that got lost...he then says she saw a car coming...after that is when he says she said...don't take me..
gagirl on this board who says she is DD daughter, says that the line remained opened for the next 5 min after she said that..

If what her mother said in one of her live interviews, can't find the link so at this point it would be rumor on my part, Kristi had only been at her parents house since the first week of August while waiting to begin her studies at Dalton College that would either mean she worked at the Dalton home depot or, the week and a half while visiting her parents she was working at home depot... see my problem with the friend comment I think we are really going to have to seperate fact from fiction in our info. live interviews aren't as pron to be infected with speculation as second hand say from a reporter or friend.

This is True...I beleive I have seen more misquotes with this case!!
From Media

[seemsodd]

I was watching live reports from family begging for help finding Kristi, I too noticed when talking about Kristi past tense was used by the family allot of the time, but also I noticed they were talking about her work overseas, the birth of her son events from her past that they described in the pictures and vidoes they displayed on tv and the search web site. Kind of like saying yesterday I was a young beautifu vibrant person, today I am older and wiser.

The pictures and vidoes they are showing was Kristi's past, the abduction/dissapearance is the present I believe the family thinks she is still alive at least they are hoping she is that would explain why their statements bounces past/present . JMO.

The comment about Kristi working at a Home Depot (poster didn't say which Home Depot) was made by a friend of Kristi's or at least they said they were a friend that had not been in touch in a while.

I don't know how to properly quote from a closed thread so I'll just do it as best I can. Please correct me if I do it improperly or let me know the correct protocol for next time. Thanks!

Post #67 of the original thread & posted by thefarm7
"I am new to the group. I have been reading the posts about Kristi.
She is a friend of mine whom I've known about 2 1/2 years. I know that in the past year or so she married Richard Graham. The last time I spoke with her, they were facing divorce. During the time I've known her, she worked at Home Depot and then somewhere else. Kristi is a fine young lady. Please pray for her safe return."

Since we have no way of knowing whether a poster is who they say they are, we have no way of knowing whether the above quote is a rumor or fact. I tend to believe the particular poster was being honest but that's JMHO.

[HALE 2d GNAW]

I mean no disrespect and pass no judgment on KC. No matter her lifestyle/choices, her family deserves answers. If she didn't leave on her own, she deserves justice.

She has a child, 15yo. The only video we have been given is from 93-94.

I can't grasp a "close knit" family being that out of date. Even if KC hated being photographed. How many Chirstmases and birthdays have passed since that loan video?

Why is the family asking for the community and friends to come forward with any pix? Why have none been released since that request was posted?


There is little to no mention of what KC was wearing. The timeline has never been fully endorsed = missing persons report filed 1am; alleged 911 call after 9pm

No Dalton friends or classmates

No coworkers came forward post 2002

No ex husband comments

No biker rider pals

No detail s about her transportation, schedule, family affairs.


Too bizarre.


Come home, Kristi :rose:

Yes, there are just too many weird things about this case.

I still say it's strange that Nancy Grace hasn't latched & held onto this one. She's originally from Georgia and she usually follows these types of cases, and she always likes to follow Georgia cases because of her roots.

One would think she'd have her staff out there digging up all of the information you mention. I just can't help but wonder if it has anything to do with the relative who's a judge (do I remember that correctly?).

It's almost like the family is keeping so quiet so that it will just die down and go away. Hmmm....

Even so, what does this tell us?

KC worked at a Home Depot some time during the last 2.5 years? She had another job her "friend" can't recall. Her family and her boyfriend fail to tell the public this while pleading for KC.


We have been told she left her last job (Probation?) in 2002 to return to school full time. She worked several jobs w/GA Corrections. Was Probation officer for 2 yrs. No specific dates given

Went on church missions. No details ever given.

You are right. It doesn't really tell us anything. Maybe if we had more past job history, etc. I don't know even then if that would give us a hint of anything.

You'd think that, at the very least, there would be some updates on a regular basis. Even if not daily, at least every few days. It's just strange.

Yes there are so many left out details....
It's almost like this is someone who has been in witness protection...
The girl friend that said she worked at home depot I felt like was honest...and she did say the last time she talked to her she was going thru a divorce...I wonder if she means this last divorce? If she did then it hasn't been long since they talked...
I am like some of you...there are a lot of emply places in her timeline..
And....I can't beleive there aren't more pics and videos of her..
I wonder if NG isn't shying away from this case b/c of the run-away-bride story that she hopped on and ended the way it did??

Her present life, friends, jobs, hobbies, family events,comments, absent son who appears to have been living with his father for awhile. No one sharing personal stories, attempting to familiarize her to her abductor. Absolutley no acknowledment from her family regarding DD

How far is Blairsville from Dalton?

HMMMM.. I wasn't aware of that name from post #67 of one of Kristi's husbands, I found his address on the qpublic site, did a google map driving directions from the parents home to his... odd but the route mapped goes right by where the cell phone was thrown out on 325. Now this could be one of two things IMO, either someone has a grudge against this person or it's an amazing coincidence. Either way I'm sure the LE has investigated long ago what I just googled. Another dead in tip IMO.

Seems like I remember reading a post that stated that Richard Graham was Kristi's 3rd husband but I am not positive about that. I'd have to go back and search the old thread or I may have read it in one of the news stories. That still doesn't make it a fact.

Yes that is what we were told his name was

I agree, I have spent the day reading news reports on this case comparing stories I am at the point I don't know what is fact or conjecture.

I don't understand why the family isn't more vocal about Kristi, it seems to me if I had a family member missing I would be begging for help in finding them.

What do you make of the AMW tip, the Federal Marshall said in his interview they got hundreds of tips from the small segment on Kristi's abduction, yet they ran off to N.C. to search for her must have been some evidence she had left Ga. (JMO) that's why the FBI came in on the case speculation on my part but the Fed's were more visible in N.C. than they ever was in GA. What's with that?

[doctor_J]

The only explanation I can think of is that the family found out some info early in the investigation (maybe from computer/phone) that they do not want to share with the public or DD. First they were distraught, then profoundly silent.

Don't know what to make of it. LE must have had reason to investigate that particular tip & make it public. Maybe it seemed more credible than any others they got.

Maybe so but it still seems like the media would be pressuring them for more information. We're just not a society that hears news like this and then lets it just die & go away. I mean, what kind of clout does that family have that they can keep this so quiet? It's just too, too strange.

IMO, the only way this tip would be more credible amoung hundreds of other tips would be if the caller had info. the LE hasn't leaked out if that is the case why haven't they brought this guy/lady in ? if they have brought this person in, with all TV crews around covering the search it looks like they too would have been asking the LE the same questions we are asking now but I don't recall anyone saying anything other than the lead didn't pan out.

That could mean one of several things:

One; she left clues or even a letter that she was high tailing it out of town.

two; someone had been making her hinky meter go wild and she left some documentation about her fears----DD comes to mind as one, we never met him yet sensed it was not what it appeared.

third; the 3rd husband, whom she had only been married to for 60 days---suspect there's a story there we don't know about

fourth; she liked to jump on her motorcycle and take off, compulsive problems, poor judgement skills

fifth; according to DD,for what it's worth, there were issues with her fall registration which was set to start the following week. So why go to the parents house when she should have been getting ready for school.

sixth: we still have no idea where or if she was working

seventh:, no friends are coming forward---could it be b/c she had poor interpersonal skills?

I look forward to your thoughts and insights into my first complex and very confusing weird crime, or not.

# 1 is a good option..
# 2 I could see someone like that making my hinky meter go off..but from Kristi's prior marriages she may not have been good at picking up on things like that
#3 guess that is possible...but what have we heard about any of her ex husbands? Nothing...we've heard more about DD than her exs
#4 Don't think this one..We've not even heard she has a bike..have we?
#5 I could see her spending a week with her parents before school starts...also her son lives in the same town..
#6 & 7 No we have no real clue about where she worked..what she liked to do...who her friends were...did she attend a church in Dalton?

eighth- Jennifer Wilbanks (ga. run away bride ) is rumored to have penned a million dollar contract for her story, she had to pay back $14,000.00 to cover her search another $2500.00 to local LE for search my math isn't great but I believe for her 2 years probation and community service plus fines she will end up with over $983,500.00 profit. Black eye to local LE.

GBI had a missing poster on their web site for Jennifer simular to Kristi's they found cut hair, finger nails and blood at Jennifer's suposed abduction site also the clothes she went jogging in were scattered through out the community, they felt she too was abducted and in danger. Black eye to GBI.

FBI joined in and found her 4 day's later brought her home fom New Mexico I believe, but they had anounced they felt she was in danger too. Black eye to FBI.

The reality is how much public criticism, or funding is a human life worth I hope GBI/FBI/LE has a number in mind if Kristi (I pray she's well and comes home safely) has met with foul play.

it's not agaisnt the law for any adult to leave....but it's against the law to do what JW did...which was to file a false police report...JW would have been ok if she hadn't told that lie when she showed up at the police in NM....

[doctor_J]

I think we know a lot about Kristi from making straight line deductions from the known facts. Trouble is, discussing those deductions would seem insensitive and possibly unflattering to the "possible" victim. There's always the possibility she's the victim of a random predator, although there are many reasons to suggest this is not the case.

[seemsodd]

That's true I recall the 911 call she made accusing a man and woman of sexualy abusing her and taking her to N.M. LE said she was really graffic with her story, I still think she got by way to light, I don't mean to bring this case up now but I remember the BF in this case refused to take a LT but eventually had one thru his lawyer proving he was innocent.

Sorry, back on topic now Kristi's dissapearance.

THE VOICE OF REASON... your right again Doctor J, my imagination is running rampant today too much free time I guess, I truly do pray Kristi comes home safely.

[just42day97]

Regarding missing persons posters and websites and the media, I'd think that all LE would tell families to use recent candid photos. These posed and often out-of-date shots with nice clothes, beaming smiles and nicely coifed hair would not fairly represent the person today, especially one who is enduring a kidnapping (unless she started a new life somewhere else...hmm). I'd think that recent candid before-her-morning-coffee or working-in-the-garden kind of photos would better represent how she'd look. Or at least give us a variety of recent photos. Am I wrong?

ITA!!!! I've noticed that as well with missing persons posters...
But it seems like not many ppl even have pics of Kristi....

[AnniePie]

I mean no disrespect and pass no judgment on KC. No matter her lifestyle/choices, her family deserves answers. If she didn't leave on her own, she deserves justice.

She has a child, 15yo. The only video we have been given is from 93-94.

I can't grasp a "close knit" family being that out of date. Even if KC hated being photographed. How many Chirstmases and birthdays have passed since that loan video?

Why is the family asking for the community and friends to come forward with any pix? Why have none been released since that request was posted?


There is little to no mention of what KC was wearing. The timeline has never been fully endorsed = missing persons report filed 1am; alleged 911 call after 9pm

No Dalton friends or classmates

No coworkers came forward post 2002

No ex husband comments

No biker rider pals

No detail s about her transportation, schedule, family affairs.


Too bizarre.


Come home, Kristi :rose:

I have no explanation for Kristi's disappearance, but I will tell you one thing about myself. My marriage dissolved over five years ago, and since that time I have hardly used my video camera.

The videos that I took over the past 20 some years were always of my children and my family during happier times. Once my husband and I spit up, I just couldn't take any more vids. It was as though an era had passed.

Is that perhaps a reason that KC's videos ended so long ago? I'm not making excuses here. Just a personal explanation that might apply to this case.

I think that when people get a new camera or camcorder that they tend to take a lot of videos and pictures. When the novelty wears off they take less.

There are some who feel it very important to take pictures and video and do it often and others who just don't think about it much and only do it if they happen to think of it.

Some people are camera shy for various reasons and getting pictures or video of them is difficult. Quite often those people offer to take the pics/video themselves in order to stay out of them.

I'm one of those people that doesn't like to pose for pictures. The most recent picure of me is probably a year old atleast.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that lack of recent photos or video of Kristi doesn't mean there was lack of love/affection between her and her family and friends or indicate there were any problems.

[KatieLady]

I am the picture taker in my family. You would be hard pressed to find a recent picture of me because I am always behind the camera.

Maybe that is why no recent pics of Kristi???

I have to think that the family must know something that has not been released...Either something was found on her computer, or cell phone that leads the family and LE to think that she left on her own..or something...I do know if my Daughter was missing, I would be talking to any news media that would listen...and the family is just not doing this...this maybe another Mary Smith case...of course this is JMO...I just can't believe the family would be so hush hush if they thought that Kristi had been taken by someone..
Any of the locals heard anything the last few days? This being a 3 day weekend would be perfect for searches....As far as I know TES has not been contacted...JMO

Well I think some people just have a negative opinion of the Media and just shy away of it. I think this is especially true if LE has advised that they don't talk as they seem to do in alot of cases. I believe that originally both the family and LE might of though she had been taken and was being held somewhere but I doubt if they still believe that unless of course they have been contacted from someone. It would seem that by now LE would of been more public about this if for no reason than to ease people's minds that live there that they are on top of it.

[ClimbingRose]

During my bad days I lurk around and after reading what Dr J posted earlier I have developed a new opinion/suspicion or whatever you want to call it.
First, as to what is covered and discussed about a person missing, my personal feeling is that all bets are off. If my loved one went missing everything including the bathroom trash can would be put on this table, I'd be passing out drinks(of your choice, of course) have table spreads of food, boxes of crayons,pencils,notebooks,addresses,yearbooks,any cell phone information I could lay my hands on, and any information from those remotely suspected to be involved.(do you care what method was used?) Anyway, family members and myself would be at constant beck and call for your group. Why would I do this? Because I want my child found. There is NO ROOM FOR POLITICALLY CORRECT when you're dealing with someone who doesn't care much less understand what that means.

Second, Lurking around and new info is springing up about DD. Just my Suspicious Personal Opinion. His behavior and words from when this became public until today triggers my ol' faithful hinky meter.

[KittyMom]

Partly bolded by me...




The comment about Kristi working at a Home Depot (poster didn't say which Home Depot) was made by a friend of Kristi's or at least they said they were a friend that had not been in touch in a while.

I don't know how to properly quote from a closed thread so I'll just do it as best I can. Please correct me if I do it improperly or let me know the correct protocol for next time. Thanks!

Post #67 of the original thread & posted by thefarm7


Since we have no way of knowing whether a poster is who they say they are, we have no way of knowing whether the above quote is a rumor or fact. I tend to believe the particular poster was being honest but that's JMHO.

http://www.ajc.com/news/faith-helps-family-of-123729.html
Cornwell had worked at Home Depot in recent years and was pursuing a degree in medical laboratory technology at Dalton State College, although, according to the college, she had not enrolled for the fall semester.

Don't put too much stock in her not being registered for classes. This is a technical college. As a returning student, she could sign up for classes at any point either online or by calling her advisor.

I wondered why we'd not see her drivers license photo until I realized that with the online system I've not had to take a photo for about 10 years now. I look nothing like I did pre 20+ lbs, haircolor to hide the gray, & life.

LE is not going to contact media. The family will have to be the ones promoting Kristi's story. If they are unsure of how to proceed, there are organizations out there that could help. The National Center for Missing Adults and Project Jason are just a couple. These organizations can give the family help in contacting shows like Nancy Grace. I'm sure that the GBI gave someone in the family this information. Why it is not being followed up on is a mystery. IMO, after investigating Kristi's life, LE revealed things to the family they did not know. If they want us to know these things they'll go to the media. Basically, the ball is in the family's court and we have to be patient and give them time to come to terms with what has to be done.

[ClimbingRose]

do you have any ideas why he would be involved?

Please remember these are only my thoughts and suspicions. Take it for what it's worth.

1. The manner in which Kristi and DD met=internet, so they make a date to meet up in person, to determine or validate? if he is someone she's interested in putting time, emotional, mental and physical, needed to grow a relationship.

But what do we know about DD as a person?
1. He used an internet chat room to meet ?future gf, wife or friend
2. B/c of the work he's in would think plenty of mothers, friends, or sisters would be offering him potential dates. So, again why the internet?
3. Conversations? There's pleanty of that with just those he is ofter around.
4. What do we know about him? His character? His personality? His history of relationships b/w males and females? Other than the one who posted somewhere to NOT TRUST HIM
5. Some of the best criminals are capable of interaction with others on a daily bases without any suspicion.
6. We know he wasn't truthful to his daughter about this relationship. Why the need to lie? Why not tell her the truth before she went onto all of the crime boards to defend him for things he hadn't felt the need to be honesty with her about?
7. What if Kristi and he met in person, she sized him up pretty quickly, possibly saw behavior traits she recognized from previous bad experiences and REJECTED him? Suggested friendship instead.
8. Was he in some sense of the word harrassing her after she had made it clear she wasn't interested in anything more? Perhaps that would explain why family and friends had never heard of him.
9. Do we have any information about how he deals with anger or rejection or even accepting the truth.
10. He says he had been with her the prior Sunday, yet the family have said they never met him? Could it be he went searching for her to attempt to persuade her decision?
11. What do we know about his financial status? What sort of work did he do in order to support some form of lifestyle?

Just some nagging thoughts and opinions about him and her family.
So, please remember these are JMO's

[just42day97]

Ever considered that this friend might've been an "online" friend?


The reason I said it like that was b/c....gagirl came back to this board after we found out they had met on the internet, and we asked her which was true..she said the internet was true, she didn't want to say they met on the internet so she said they met thru a friend...The reason I brought this up was b/c not sure what to beleive what gagirl says...

Good post...ITA....like i've said before..if my Daugher were missing...I would be begging media to cover this story...I would beg anyone to help...I just have to wonder if they know something...like did they find something on her computer or phone that leads them to think she left on her own? JMO

[ClimbingRose]

My suspicious mind leads me to believe the family and LE have something that is pointing to who may have been involved. It would explain the silence. If so, then who ever you are be afraid, you not only took Kristi, but you thought yourself so much smarter than any of us. It took some audacity to sneak in various crime forums to attempt to manipulate our thoughts and theories but I assure you those who do participate in these forums tend to be very intelligent and have a special sixth sense that picks up on BS very easily. If you do have Kristi I pray you will use that small amount of compassion and moral compass and release her. You have succeed in causing pain in Kristi but use that little closed off area of compassion and free her. Allow her to feel and live all the love which has been absent in your life for so long.

I do not know who you are are why you did what you did. From my own personal opinion I beg you to allow Kristi another chance for life.

The only verification of a relationship between Kristi and Davis is his comments in the other news links he goes from BF to fiance... I find this strange considering they only knew one another for a few weeks I can't find any other comments from any family member on Mr. Davis can anyone else?

IMO, after investigating Kristi's life, LE revealed things to the family they did not know. If they want us to know these things they'll go to the media. Basically, the ball is in the family's court and we have to be patient and give them time to come to terms with what has to be done.

Hi,
Well I know but in alot of cases LE does give press conferences to update the public, at least periodically. As far as search and awareness goes I am sure the family does have that information, but as far as the family themself being more outspoken is what I was referring to when I said alot of people shy away from it and I think in some cases LE does discourage outlets like NG.

[Ice Cycle]

http://www.kristicornwell.com

I went back to the kristi cornwell site set up by her family to try and seperate fact from fiction on the news link thread of this site the family says the NGN link has the full story of Kristi's abduction.. the only comment I can find from the family concerning Mr. Davis is in the archive section of the paper August 19 edition "Kristi was talking to a person from the Atlanta area" farther down Norman Cooper (local paper editor) say's " Richard doesn't want to comment on the relationship between Kristi and Davis"

The only verification of a relationship between Kristi and Davis is his comments in the other news links he goes from BF to fiance... I find this strange considering they only knew one another for a few weeks I can't find any other comments from any family member on Mr. Davis can anyone else?

Other than their is a link to a article posted early on that states that the brother said the all the ex husbands and DD were not suspects. Could that report be wrong, possibly.
The only other thing is regarding the book DD says Kristi sent, LE should be able to tell when, where and who sent it and surly have checked that out. Eventually someone from LE or the family will more than likely clear some of these things up as I said before I would think the people there (which I know is you also) would be wanting to know if a perp was on the loose in their town.

Why is nobody suspicious of her soon-to-be ex-husband? They were only married for a few months and were getting divorced. She has a new boyfriend and disappears on a country road in the town he lives in while she talks to her boyfriend in Atlanta.

Not that I think he did it, but cannot understand the venom in the several last posts seemingly towards DD?

My vote goes with 1) Stranger 2) Runaway 3)Any Ex-husband.

I think I agree with you.

I am just now learning about this case; haven't paid too much attention before now.

I believe I read a link that said GBI has cleared DD; he is not a suspect or even POI.

Someone above asked what he did for a living; IIRC, he is a minister?

what is in question is the fact that the reporter/editor did not put the quote marks around the statement from that GBI officer, so many don't believe it

[seemsodd]

Please remember these are only my thoughts and suspicions. Take it for what it's worth.

1. The manner in which Kristi and DD met=internet, so they make a date to meet up in person, to determine or validate? if he is someone she's interested in putting time, emotional, mental and physical, needed to grow a relationship.

But what do we know about DD as a person?
1. He used an internet chat room to meet ?future gf, wife or friend
2. B/c of the work he's in would think plenty of mothers, friends, or sisters would be offering him potential dates. So, again why the internet?
3. Conversations? There's pleanty of that with just those he is ofter around.
4. What do we know about him? His character? His personality? His history of relationships b/w males and females? Other than the one who posted somewhere to NOT TRUST HIM
5. Some of the best criminals are capable of interaction with others on a daily bases without any suspicion.
6. We know he wasn't truthful to his daughter about this relationship. Why the need to lie? Why not tell her the truth before she went onto all of the crime boards to defend him for things he hadn't felt the need to be honesty with her about?
7. What if Kristi and he met in person, she sized him up pretty quickly, possibly saw behavior traits she recognized from previous bad experiences and REJECTED him? Suggested friendship instead.
8. Was he in some sense of the word harrassing her after she had made it clear she wasn't interested in anything more? Perhaps that would explain why family and friends had never heard of him.
9. Do we have any information about how he deals with anger or rejection or even accepting the truth.
10. He says he had been with her the prior Sunday, yet the family have said they never met him? Could it be he went searching for her to attempt to persuade her decision?
11. What do we know about his financial status? What sort of work did he do in order to support some form of lifestyle?

Just some nagging thoughts and opinions about him and her family.
So, please remember these are JMO's


I may be way off on my thoughts but I really feel he and Kristi maybe talked on the internet you can go to her face book it's private but you can see who her friends are Davis isn't one of them also her mother is on her face book as a friend she would have access to Kristi's friends yet she didn't acknowledge Davis as a bf, actually the mother hasn't commented on Davis either. Davis in the begining of this was silent, the family was doing the media rounds now it seems he seeks out publicity more so than the family. He has gone in his own words from a BF of Kristi's to her fiance, still no comment from the family. Most of his media attention spotlights his ministry and singing group, before this case he was virtualy unkown now his site is posted in the media. I seem to recall he was going to do a benifit to help pay for the search for Kristi but no dates can I find.

In my opinion Mr. Davis is a man on a mission he is using his 15 minutes of fame to promote his own cause. If the LE does feel he is responsible for Kristi's dissapearance and have evidence pointing in that direction it might make sense in some way the family stepping back and being quiet while Davis steals the spotlight, give someone enough rope they will hang them self.

I hate to be crude but in all the media I have read Davis doesn't know anything about Kristi's dissapearance he's just stealing the spotlight for his own cause..JMO.

This thought has occurred to me many times, especially when I heard his father owned the Marathon store which is not far from where she was walking, of course then I heard someone thought that store was the second ex's father's store, still never have that straight. Just wondering if she was in some type of court disagreement with the 3rd since it was so newly dissolved.

Dora, I'm not spewing venom toward anyone. Yes, she recently went thru a divorce with a 3rd husband, who like the other ex husbands have behaved in a manner of respect for Kristi and her family and have had several LE interviews which they are not reaching out to the media to share nor are they placing any spotlight on themselves by sharing personal information regarding Kristi they have. Although I can not confirm it, I suspect Krisiti's family is very familiar with each of the husbands including photo's and stories that are being shared amongst them. Their silence in the media is a token of the respect they have for Kristi and her family.

As for DD...my opinion is that his motives are questionable. He knew her the least of any of the other members. And, his actions are very concerning and reflect something other than a sincere love for her.

My sentiments exactly. His choice of words in describing his account of what has taken place IMO aren't typical words normally used in this situation. And, don't even get me started on those who so passionately declare they're defending his honor.

We've been thru enough crime cases to understand the word games LE play and why they are forced to play them. The two things that clearly stick out to me is 1. the family isn't speaking or talking about anything or anyone at this time. This nulls anything they may have set earlier b/c they may now have new information or evidence that requires them to remain quiet.
Also goes for LE. Yes, DD has spoken about that book MANY times and he has provided information to LE which he happily reports to us. What we are not seeing is LE addressing specific and particular issues involved in this book, including that little charming book DD swears Kristi sent along with a note. Until I hear from LE directly that specifically acknowledges their thoughts on any of the evidence in this case then using my own opinion will continue to doubt or suspect any and everything.

Yes this is what I read and though sometimes the Media does get it wrong, I doubt if that is the case here. The fact is even if gagirl is not who she says and was lying about someone being with him at the time, I would think that LE would be able to tract Kristi's call to him though her cell and know the time and length of call and compare it to where his cell pinged at that time.

Yes but the key word is, may have new information, we do not know that for sure. The article with the quote that S Star just reposted is one I read also along with another where the brother says it.

I am, I am!!! If there's any non-strangers I'm suspicious of, it's her most recent ex-husband. I have absolutely no idea what alibi he has, so why is DD so much more suspicious when he was 2 hours away at the time? Maybe it's much easier to scrutinize someone when there are statements and interviews to view. I won't argue that there isn't some weirdness there but I'm just still stumped on motive and opportunity for him. After the fact publicity-seeking, yes, but murderer? I just don't see it, personally.

I am suspicious of DD...BUT with that said...He could not have done this without a lot of planning and prob involving other ppl too. I just think my hinky meter goes off with him cuz he just seems to be not so much what he claims to be...JMO
I've also thought about the last hubby....LE has said all the ex's and DD have been cleared...But we all know they can say what they want to say...doesn't mean it true....
my gut says she may have left on her own.. 2nd ex hubby/DD. 3rd I would say stranger...hubby/DD.....
all of this is JMO

[Ice Cycle]

Well my first, second and third are tied. Stranger, ex husband (especially the 3rd) and other internet person. I believe their is a possibility she was communicating with someone else in addition to DD. I just can't believe that after 3 divorces that she would be ready to jump back in to anything serious that soon (DD might of thought that but she might of just been at a different level). She very well could of been just briefly online dating/friends with another.

Like I have stated before here...the main reason other than DD being 2 hours away that he didn't do it, was motive....I don't know of one unless Kristi picked up on something she didn't like with him, and broke it off with him...Other than that, like I have stated I don't see a motive....He is just a little strange, and some questions concerning him made me question him..I've stated many time on this board it would have been very hard for DD to have done this...

[seemsodd]

Has anyone else noticed out of the hundreds of tips LE has recieved on this case only the ones from some part of N.C. seem to merit investigating. Makes me think they did find something on her computer, or maybe something Davis heard her say is leading them in that direction. JMO.

Hi Savannah-
I am torn on this case because to me there really isn't an apparent motive for DD; however, his actions since her disappearance made me feel unsure and uncomfortable about him. It's probably just as simple as him being a bit of a strange person who is attention-seeking and using this disappearance to further his own agenda; I just can't help it but my gut is telling me something is hinky about this guy. Truly just a gut reaction, as there are no hard and fast facts leading me to think he did something.

I am hoping against hope that Kristi decided to disappear and maybe start a new life. I would be angry at her on behalf of her family and LE, but I would be relieved to know that she is safe.

I think most are about 50/50 on DD being involved. If you don't already know this but if you come across mention of gagirl that is a poster that posted a few weeks ago that claimed to be DD's daughter. She was here to defend him and then stopped posting I believe because a few might of made comments she did not like. I for one have never thought he was responsible for this mainly based on the situation and for motive and available, of course due to not knowing certain things LE has not revealed it is hard to be 100%. Post away.

[ClimbingRose]

Curious as to what you think a motive may have been, IF it was DD, and if the scenario you outline here were true.

As to motive it could be over something as simple as rejection, lack of interest, angry b/c he felt duped and on.......my previous post today gives a list of my opinions that may have played a role in Kristi's abduction. HOWEVER, don't you find it odd that none of the ex's have come out publicly and discussing topics that should remain b/w the bf-gf? I see their behavior as being much more respectful to her family who is in shock and grieving. Much different than a man who's statements haven't been above reproach, never met Kristi's family and is being so disrepectful to this family.

IA, I mean I've done several analysis in my own mind that could make him guilty and I keep coming up with the same thing and that LE would know that by now and a very weak motive. For instance, if he made the whole thing up and their was no call and he was suppose to meet her (assuming they did want the parents to know yet), he would of then meet her & that would explain her wearing flip flops and she met him and went with him in the car, their was a argument and he in rage did it and she though before had pitched the cell out the window. Because he would not of pitched it there knowing if found her calls could be tracked. He would of put it in a lake somewhere. Then lets say he was not using his regular cell so therefore his regular cell would of pinged in Atlanta. Even if he doesn't have a alibi for that time frame in Atlanta would he of risked using his own car, well not if it was planned but then again if planned then he would of not used his regular cell because he would not be telling it the way he has knowing his phone could be checked. The only other scenario would be that he had it done. Then one would have to believe he would risk that plus be able to pull that off and for someone he only knew for weeks. Both of these scenario's are just too out there and I am certain LE would know by now if his story did not add up plus I believe if he had any type of criminal past it would of been known by now. Their might be another more sensible scenario that I have not thought of but so far imo I just don't see it at least based on the facts that have been reported.
I am not crazy about his frequent media appearances or some of his ways but as I have said before is that I have never seen a minister, preacher, ect, ect that did not like to talk and lead when they could.

[just42day97]

I'm wondering something about DD's cell phone..
Anyways he could have had his phone forwarded to another phone? Like could he have left his cell phone in Atlanta...then have another phone that he forwards into that one....??? Just a thought...
Gagirl says he was having dinner with his cousin....so if that is true then there is someone who maybe told LE he was in fact in Atlanta...

Like I've said...so many times..he could not be in 2 places at one...and the only motive I can think of is 2 things...Kristi broke things off with him..or Kristi was also talking with someone else on line and he found out about it...but they had only been "seeing" each other a few weeks..I just don't see how anyone can get that attached in a short amount of time..
I just can't seem to get him off my mind as far as him just not adding up..
This case reminds me of Mary Beth Smith soooo much...with the family not saying hardly anything...

I think all friends and family of a missing person should do whatever they can to get face time to put her story and picture out there. I believe that is the advice given each time someone goes missing. They even go thru a thrashing with Nancy Grace just to be able to get that many viewers to see the picture of their loved one.

Very well stated!

The reason I posted what I did about the statement analysis site, is I think he puts WAY too much emphasis on DD's use of the past tense. Whenever that is mentioned in a case, I always remind myself that Ed Smart referred to Elizabeth in the past tense immediately after her abduction. To me, use of past tense in reference to a victim MAY mean something, but just as often means nothing.

I think all friends and family of a missing person should do whatever they can to get face time to put her story and picture out there. I believe that is the advice given each time someone goes missing. They even go thru a thrashing with Nancy Grace just to be able to get that many viewers to see the picture of their loved one.


Dora,

Kristi's familys behavior is soo strange. Even if Kristi took off on her own wouldn't they be putting messages out thru the media to assure her that she's loved, comment about her son, or statements of unconditional love? Or what ever the word experts suggested.
I like the rest of you friends, wish badly she simply ran off, but.....

I'm wondering something about DD's cell phone..
Anyways he could have had his phone forwarded to another phone? Like could he have left his cell phone in Atlanta...then have another phone that he forwards into that one....??? Just a thought...
Gagirl says he was having dinner with his cousin....so if that is true then there is someone who maybe told LE he was in fact in Atlanta...

Like I've said...so many times..he could not be in 2 places at one...and the only motive I can think of is 2 things...Kristi broke things off with him..or Kristi was also talking with someone else on line and he found out about it...but they had only been "seeing" each other a few weeks..I just don't see how anyone can get that attached in a short amount of time..
I just can't seem to get him off my mind as far as him just not adding up..
This case reminds me of Mary Beth Smith soooo much...with the family not saying hardly anything...


Sorry for answering so many at once. The phone issue had me curious also. But remember the world we live in today there is so much technology it's hard to take most things at face value. When I asked this very question earlier on Mr Fate said he had a family member who was I believe a booky(sic) and had several phones set up.

It's just that from what little time we've seen DD we get the hebby jebbies, can only imagine what Kristi must have felt.

Read the statementanalysis site. I agree with those who said there is nothing we hadn't already dicussed and analyzed ourselves here.

We're pretty good sleuthers, aren't we? :thumbsup:
