Early indications showed that Kitty had been shot; not once, but three times at point-blank range with a revolver. Kitty had been seeing a local man, Frederick Rothwell Holt, and, by all accounts, their relationship was a rough and ready one. The element of danger, along with the thought of making out with a ‘bad boy’ appeals to some women. But a lot of these relationships end in tragedy – just like this one. A fight or an argument must have ensued during their last night together. What it was about we can only speculate. Perhaps Kitty pleaded with Fredrick to sort himself out and ‘go straight’ so they could set up together properly and honestly? Perhaps Kitty had told her lover she was pregnant, which could have brought on fear and resentment on his part towards Kitty, with the only way out for him being to get rid of her … and the baby. No one knows for certain, but, whatever did occur that fateful night, it resulted in the brutal murder of the young woman. It is said that Holt’s bloodstained gloves, along with his service revolver – the one used to fire the fatal shots – and a footprint that matched his footwear, was discovered not far from where Kitty was found.
