In Perugia, Knox moved in with two professionals (legal) and an Erasmus student from England. She had just blown off a job in Berlin and toked/slept her way from Germany to Italy. Knox was a language student at the foreigners university. Knox started her class well after Meredith. Everyone at the cottage had goals and dreams that they were living. I doubt any of them expected that Knox would hang her vibrator in the bathroom, fail to flush, repeatedly sing one bar on the guitar, irregularly burst into song in a restaurant, bring strange men home, get stoned as often as she ate pasta, bond with strangers through a mutual vice of getting stoned, and generally disrupt that calm environment that Laura, Filomina and Meredith had before Knox arrived.
Knox did not fit with Meredith and her friends (all attending the University with Meredith). She did not fit with the law professional's social life of Laura and Filomina. She did not have anything more as
than a hook-up with the four men living on the main floor of the cottage. Meredith had been dating one of the four. Knox did not fit with La Chic. Knox's job had been given to Meredith, although Meredith had not accepted the offer. On Halloween, Knox contacted Meredith several times. It appears that Knox was hoping to be included, but she was not. The murder occurred the following day.
That morning, November 1, Knox woke up early and went to the cottage. Sollecito joined her later, around 12:30 (he made pasta). Had Meredith woken up before Sollecito arrived?
