I don't think so. Thus it seems a bit stretched that Kelly did not know.
I assumed there was very little communication between the folks in Boulder and Michael or Riley. I seem to recall several instances where Michael asks people who went to Boulder for news but they never had any. We know Michael wrote to Pegs during that time but not what he put in the letters. Other than that, no communications between Michael and Kelly, Datu, or Hope is discussed. I guess we are supposed to imply that everyone just got on with their lives until the bottom dropped out.
