Regarding the glove and if it was planted evidence. I'm not sure I believe that. But . . .
First, that's an indication of pre-meditation. Meaning, this was somebody who was dead-set (no pun intended) on making Tara disappear Saturday or Sunday--whenever the attack happened.
Second, taking a glove that has somebody else's DNA and fingerprint isn't as crafty as a person might think. To do that the killer would have to know that the person whose DNA and fingerprint were on the glove, doesn't have a record. Because the last thing the killer would want is the DNA leading to somebody who had an iron-clad alibi for the entire weekend. Or to the fingerprint of somebody who was in California at the time. I know that's kind of counter-intuitive but it makes sense. Because from there, the cops would be able to figure out who within Tara's circle had a connection to both her and the person with the DNA/fingerprint.
It's like somebody who uses a rental to commit a crime. That's all well and good until the cops figure out where the car was rented from and a copy of your ID is in the files of the rental car company. Then, the entire plan falls apart. A person is better off using his or her own car because it's much more random and for the cops it's easier to check rental companies than it is to track down every person with a red 2010 Dodge ram truck, for example.
Third, a planted glove would also tell me that this crime was particular to Tara and to no other crime. Because I can't think of another case out there where a latex glove was part of the evidence, and so blatantly just left out there for everyone to see. The more I think about it, it smells of somebody who has watched a few too many Columbo's. It gives me the feeling of somebody who was doing this as some sort of game--more like a dare of some kind than rape/murder being the motivation.
Fourth, not only was the DNA and the fingerprint not in any computer system at the time, it hasn't appeared in any 10 years later. So, at some point you have to figure this: Either those belong to somebody who is a strict, law-abiding citizen OR the person is dead.
But although I'm not certain about it being planted, you can make the case that if a killer is going to wear latex gloves to commit a murder, why then take at least one off while the person is still at the crime scene? It's like: if you're gonna wear the gloves, wear them the whole time. If you're not gonna wear the gloves the whole time, then why bother at all?
As I've stated before a while ago on this thread, the tough part is that Tara had a lot of admirers--all the ones we know, and probably several she didn't even know about. And any of them or any of their gf's/wives could've done it. I'm sure the list of POI's in this case numbers in at least the 20's.
