From the first day, Kelle cooperated with the authorities to find the real killer, but the police simply did not do their job. On April 28, 2008, Kelle went to the police station in an effort to help the police find the killer and he found himself in a terrible position. After a short while, the police started to accuse Kelle of the crime.
After 12 hours of interviews and accusations, the police told Kelle they took his kids away from him. At the time, Alexandra was 12 and Jadon was 6 months old. The police took photos of Kelle and kept his clothes. The police then sent Kelle to a hotel for the night wearing paper clothes.
During the next few days, Kelle, while in shock, spent time with his family grieving the loss of his wife and the absence of his children. Kelle went to family court several times in an attempt to get his children returned. Unfortunately, he was arrested in front of the courthouse only three weeks after Isabelle had been murdered.
Kelle’s story has never changed: “I did not do it. I did not kill my wife.” He has never changed from those words. For those of us who know Kelle, he is not a violent man and could never do such a horrible thing to his wife or anyone else.
The facts of the case as it unfolded are simple.
· The police did a terrible job in the investigation and never looked beyond Kelle.
· The police never looked for the stolen property or the real person who committed the murder.
· After extensive searches of the property and the job sites where Kelle was working the police never found the murder weapon.
· No blood from Isabelle was ever found on Kelle or any of the clothes he was wearing.
· None of Isabelle’s blood was ever found in the shower or other drains of the home. Bleach was not found in any of the drains, which would prove that the crime scene had not been cleaned by anyone.
· The police claimed that the robbery looked staged, but had no proof of that at all. It was just their opinion.
· Video surveillance cameras at the drug store and Starbucks show Kelle at these locations as he told the police he was at the time of the murder.
· The stolen items were never recovered. There was not one defensive wound on Kelle.
· There was no DNA evidence to support the idea that Kelle committed this crime.
· Ten days after the police released the house, the police did a second search of the crime scene. During the ten days between searches, family members and friends were coming in and out of the house, moving items and collecting personal items.
