Questions We Cannot Answer

These are questions we believe deserve answers. We will not fill the gaps with assumptions or present unanswered questions as facts.

1
Why do prosecutors believe Gregory Groom killed Kylee, and could he realistically have done everything they allege on his own?
2
Why was a pregnant 18-year-old discharged from Bethesda House after missing a meeting following a hospital visit?
3
Why was Kylee taken back to Gregory Groom's home after being discharged?
4
Who specifically made the decision to transport her there, and what information did that person have about the situation?
5
Did Bethesda House know about any previous allegations of domestic violence or safety concerns involving Gregory?
6
Why did Kylee refuse her sister's offer to come pick her up after describing an alleged assault?
7
What happened during the roughly 30 minutes between Kylee's frightening first message and her later message saying she was safe?
8
What exactly happened between Kylee's last confirmed contact with her family and the time she was reported missing?
9
Why was Gregory the person who reported Kylee missing?
10
Why did Gregory participate in efforts to find Kylee if prosecutors allege he already knew where she was?
11
Who made the apparent kidnapping/hostage call to Kylee's sisters while everyone was searching for her?
12
Why wasn't Kylee found during the earlier search of the Rehoboth property?
13
If prosecutors allege Gregory admitted killing Kylee and then provided a hand-drawn map leading investigators to where she was buried, why should this case be resolved through a plea agreement instead of a trial?
14
If the prosecution can prove that Kylee was killed, buried on the property, and that Gregory knew where her body was located, what level of accountability would truly reflect what happened to Kylee and her unborn baby?
15
What evidence will prosecutors present to a jury to prove their allegations against Gregory—and will Kylee's family have the opportunity to see the entire case heard in court?
These questions are not accusations or findings of guilt. Where a question refers to allegations made by prosecutors, those allegations remain subject to the criminal court process.

Important legal note:

Gregory Groom has been charged in connection with Kylee's death and has pleaded not guilty. Statements about what he allegedly told investigators or what prosecutors believe occurred are allegations and prosecution claims unless and until established in court. A criminal charge is not a conviction, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
