re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

We are in agreement w Lady Dustin's intentions- she seems to me a Stark supporter working some "strategery"

Good catch about the Stout/Umber/ Manderly connection. I'd missed that. Makes sense that the Stark boys' whereabouts would be shared info in that circle, especially with the Bolton occupation at WF.
I've wondered if Lady D's trip to the crypts/ exchange w Theon had another purpose (besides talking to Ramsey thru Theon/ false fealty). Perhaps she was testing him? Seeing if any of the old Theon remained in this stinking shell he'd become? If any of the things she said made it back to Ramsey, she would have her answer, and one purpose served as well. If he kept quiet, there may be a chance he can be trusted...perhaps a motivation to redeem himself that could be exploited vs Boltons.
If this were the case, it's likely she brought Theon there to show him the missing swords...see what he does with the info...
Or to see if Theon himself would get itchy, giving her any indication that he was responsible for the missing blades - or at least is aiding the kids secretly. She knows he's as familiar with the secrets of the castle, having grown up in WF, as any of the Stark kids.
Just a thought.
