As far as those bathroom pictures, remember they were taken after the Rs moved out and the place had been repainted. I thought I read that the house had been bought by a group of R friends and supporters. It was then completely repainted inside, though I don't think the kitchen and baths were redone. Possibly by one of the subsequent owners. One of them walled off the wineceller.
Just by looking at that bathroom, I really don't see any surface, including the tile edge of the tub surround, that would punch out a hole like that in a skull. As far as it happening in a fall- you have to think like a physicist for a moment. A child the size of JBR just doesn't weigh enough to hit anyhing in a fall that would cause an impact sufficient to put a hole in her skull. Mass x velocity gives the energy (force) in an impact like that. She'd have to fall from a great distance (like off a roof) or something similar. Not just to kill her, but to make a hole like that in her skull. I just don't feel it was from slamming her into anything. It had to be a whack with the flashlight or something similar. IMHO.
