I think KE and HKS have ties, but what and how come eludes me. KE is almost old enough to be HKS's mother, and there is a good chance that he is gay. So there's nothing to that angle. I have another angle, but can't say it. I'd get flamed, banned and accused of being a racist.
Something was posted last night that Daniel wasn't buried in California because KE and HKS's mother went to the cemetary there and it was too expensive. IT made me wonder if perhaps there is a family link between HKS and KE and HKS brought KE into ANS life.
