Never could figure out the Kroger stop.....unless somebody knew somebody. So who was Kim (Crystal) really looking for when they pulled into Krogers?

What I can't figure out is why nobody seems able to understand this. Kim and Crystal did not know each other prior to that night, but they did know each other prior to their arrival at Kroger's. Kroger's would have presented Kim with a nearby, accessible, well-lit, relatively safe, anonymous kind of place to dump Crystal where she could make a call or catch a ride and become someone else's problem, simple as that.

From Kim's statement:

I decided go to the 24 hr. grocery store and seek the help of an off duty police officer. Only a security guard was there so we proceeded to call 911.
