in the photo where she's fallen, the purse can be seen on the ground nearby.

Agreed, but in the items taken during the execution of the search warrant, the makeup bag and ID are found, but no mention of the purse..

This could be nothing more than semantics, but I can clearly see 2 bags in the 12:30 photo... We know Kim was in the backyard immediately before the 12:41 photo or immediately before when the 2nd cab arrived around 12:45ish because he saw her coming around from behind the house. If the AV was incapacitated and had to be helped into the car by one of the players, it stands to reason that Kim may have been carrying her purse...

Well I'm thinking that when they picked Crystal up they also picked up everything around her and put it in Kim's car. When Kim made her escape from Kroger, all that stuff was still in her car, there went all that.

You're assuming that the smaller of the two bags she's seen riffling through in the photo on the back porch is the same one found later in the bathroom. Do we know that?

That makes a lot of sense to me. I've been wondering which bag her driver's license and credit cards were in. I recall from her search warrant that police were looking for her "ID" as well at the house. Do you recall if they recovered that? If not, then perhaps while Kim was driving off and Crystal was unconscious/unresponsive, Kim stole the $400 out of her purse and then perhaps discarded Crystal's purse with the ID in it.
