It was mostly cloudy that night, with some periods of light rain.
Check the hourly weather at the link. It will be too much unformatted data to post here
Thoughts on these possibilities:
-while full moon, would the overcast and clouds work against the theory all activities were done by the moonlight? It seems that would be unreliable on such a night; even though it was full moon.
-I think the rain off and on is another important piece. Do others think the victims would leave windows open on a rainy night?
