So I read more of the Messai report and now I'm interested in all the footprint stuff.
So they think RS's left foot was on the pillow (in shoes), and his bloody left foot was on the bathmat (no shoes). (both lefts correct?)
They say Amanda was in the bathroom, and all evidence in the bathroom comes from recent activity including the dried blood on the faucet which could only come from her pierced ears since she had no cuts on her body. (and since she said she had an infected ear she addressed that morning).
How big was that bloodspot? Because I've never, ever seen an ear bleed enough to drop blood on a faucet. If it was teeny tiny I guess I could believe it. But it seems to me that smore likely to be old blood.
As for the footprints... if they were luminol positive as the result of showering I would expect both feet to show up, which they don't. Only the right one floursced, correct? (Please fact check) I know they said the flourescense was quite weak. If it was a result of becoming bloody by being at the murder scene I would expect there to be more evidence in the murder room.
The report states that Amanda washed her foot in the bidet to rid it of blood as meredith's blood was in the bidet. They say DNA evidence could only have occurred there with quite a lot of cells, so she must have really scrubbed her feet in there. (however, using the bidet as it was intended would by it's nature leave a lot of cells).
If the belief is blood was washed off into the bidet, and there is a bloody male footprint there... then it seems to me that it is more likely that someone was washing blood off their leg, or pants, and took off their shoe (so their shoe would not get wet), putting the foot in diluted bloody water, then putting the foot down and leaving the bare foot mark. This could be said of Rudy or Raf. Amanda could have had blood on her leg and rinsed it off in the bidet as well, then her foot would begin to weakly flouresce at that point.
However, if we are saying you can leave dimly flourescent footprints from having your foot in diluted bloody water, then it also makes sense that someone taking a shower in a room where a killer cleaned themselves of blood, could have unknowingly put their foot in highly diluted bloody water, leaving only a few footprints.
I find bloody and cleaned up footprints the least likely scenario because how could they not have noticed the bloody footprint on the bathmat? If you have 7 hours to clean up a murder scene (starting your day by playing itunes at 5:35 to get ready to do so), one would expect you to be quite thorough. If you weren't done and didn't want to be interrupted, then don't call Filomena.
If they were caught WITH a mop and bucket by the postal police... why call Filomena before you have completely hidden all evidence that you were cleaning up the murder scene?
Lastly, can anyone point me to WHEN Raf's dad made the statement to the police about the sink? When that statement was first logged?
