The motion of the door beginning to open activated the camera.
That clip starts at 1:49 and no motion of the door until 1:53. Perhaps the camera triggered with motion seen on the other side of the door through a window in the door?
The motion of the door beginning to open activated the camera.
Which begs the question- did they see anything at all?? I'm a lot of states east and north and here we have someone early for a class sitting right in the parking lot.
I see the video as choppy or moving ( I don't know how else to describe it) Before the perp even opens the door around 1 minute 50 seconds.
IMOO.
Those are good questions, and reasonable to ask ...and I'm sure LE has explored them. But I don't know the answer, and I don't think anyone else other than LE does either.
We do know that one camera got a glimpse of perp coming, and the same or a different one saw MB arriving, and also camper 1. And we know that LE has said that, for some reason, the exterior cams at the church that night didn't record. But which cam(s) got those images (whether the Outdoors store, from far away in the rain, or whether some interior cam in the church getting a glimpse of the outside ...or even if one or more of the outdoor cams at church worked 100% and LE is keeping that a secret) we don't have any clue.
I suspect there is quite a bit more to be gleaned from the various cameras, positioning, what did or didn't record, and so on. IMO that would explain why they had reconstruction experts out there, to try to expertly cobble it all together into a more complete narrative to work from, including figuring out what might be indicated for when they didn't record. But imo we the public have too little knowledge to help at all in those areas, beyond what little can be added to the mix from examining the video we have been given.
To be specific ...
What about closer to the building? ....Don't know, requires info we haven't been given
If a car turned into the driveway, perhaps killed it's lights, and swing a wide berth around to the opposite end out of sight, would a camera from the church pick up the movement, even just a silhouette? ...Don't know, requires info we haven't been given
Are the cameras motion activated by headlights, or by proximity, or not motion activated at all? ...Don't know, requires info we haven't been given
If LE were able to establish that a car would have to have been picked up as it came in, even if only the shadow of it, then that would enable them to know for sure whether the perp drove in from the front or didn't drive in at all? ...Don't know, requires info we haven't been given
Not being snarky, but we don't have enough info to even make a helpful guess.
Unfortunately, the possible list of who knew the camp was being moved indoors was "everyone" since she had announced her schedule to the world on FB and made that "moving indoors due to rain" fact clear as part of the announcement. If she always went inside, then that would be two possible ways the perp would know she would be in there (but it only takes one). More importantly, to the extent it's needed, it would be easy info for LE to have already ascertained it, but they have no reason to share that with us.
I didn't really see that, but I'd like to know at 1:53 why was the camera already on when the perp came through the door. I thought the cameras were motion activated. What am I missing? TIA
Have never thought the perp is Caucasian. Latino, or Asian . jmo though.
Everyone wouldn't know. Only those that saw her facebook post or were told by someone that did. Does anyone know if LE can determine who accessed her facbook since the message was posted?
I think it would be nearly impossible because if the person was FB friends with MB, they may have seen that post pop up on their personal newsfeed. If that's the case, they may not have actually visited her FB page at all.
That made me wonder, too. But some options:
He may have opened the door a crack, shut it for a split second, and camera turned on and recorded him opening it again and coming out.
Or, he may have entered the room, closed the door, and then come right back out and the camera recorded the whole thing, but that part of the video was spliced for public viewing and showed only his exiting from the room as it was a better view of the perp.
But they were still connected digitally, right? I'm a total dope about digital tech, but if SWs retrieved their stuff it would show up? JMO
Morning musings.................we know or think we know the following:
1. NYPD has or perhaps is still assisting with cell phone data & pings. Since there have been no recent terrorists attacks there, I am assuming that they are very good at their job.
2. We have video of the killer. Tarrant Co. has 2 forensic experts who have been able to ascertain reliable information regarding the killer's height & weight & analyze body movements to possibly determine the sex of the killer.
3. Sparky has provided a blown up picture of the killer's face staring at the camera. No offense to Sparky, but if she can do that on her computer, just think what a great picture LE could make using their latest state of the art equipment. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard that the eyes are the most distinctive & recognizable part of the face.
Given all of the above, I think it is fairly safe to speculate that LE has been able to eliminate some of the POI's mentioned in the search warrants.
I see a closed door, then I see it open.
IMOO.
Why? Eyes? Eyes seem to be behind goggles....and no way to determine eye color. JMO
That part of the video is the most interesting to me. The camera is already active before the door opens, the lighting is better, the footage is clear and it is a very close angle to the perp. I hope LE has more from that portion or more of that quality that they have not shown us. IMO.
ETA: if they can positively ID swatperp on video, I assume they can arrest for B&E but that's not enough for murder charges, or is it?
I didn't really see that, but I'd like to know at 1:53 why was the camera already on when the perp came through the door. I thought the cameras were motion activated. What am I missing? TIA
