Below we have four representations of the crime scene.
1,2 and 3 are vidcaps. From 4, this link.
None of the four images is a completely accurate representation of what occurred. Let's analyze one by one.
The first is a recreation made, several years later, by one of the detectives who investigated the case, using the vehicle of the victim. Although the detective thought the murderer was sitting in the back seat, when he did the simulation he did not sit completely. With his left hand around the headrest, simulating holding the victim by the neck or chest, and with his right hand simulates wield the gun.
The second image is a drawing that recreates more faithfully the position that detective wanted to simulate.
The third is a representation of the Guardia Civil, rather strange.
The fourth is a drawing appeared in the press.
In the first three images it shows how the shooting hand is the right, while on the fourth hand is not specified.
Based on available data, the fourth image is the most faithful representation of the possible trajectory of the bullet. Entry wound in the back of the head, almost in the middle, exit wound over the right eyebrow, and impact on the glass. Look at the discrepancy between the images 3 and 4 on where the bullet hits the glass. In the drawing of the Guardia Civil the path is from right to left, and the bullet hit the left edge of the glass, and we know that is not the case. The point where the bullet hits the glass is represented to a good approximation by image 4.
Assuming that the victim was sitting facing forward, the picture 4 would be a good representation of the path, with entry and exit points at the top and the impact on the glass. The problem is that is not possible. The seat and headrest make impossible for the picture 4 to be correct.
The Peugeot 205 is a small car, but it has pretty high seats in relation to the size of the car, and headrests are also quite long. Sheila whole head would be below the upper edge of the headrest. Try a shot from above the headrest would mean making it almost from the car roof, with an impossible angle. As it was a contact shot, it could only be made from the left or right side of the headrest.
If you sit in the back of a Peugeot 206, apart from noting the big difficulty in doing it if the front seat is not well advanced, which immediately catches the eye it is that you can see nothing. One can not see the driver, no part of her, if you are sitting just behind.
If the killer was sitting behind and shot with his right hand, he could just do it from the right side of the headrest. But he could not do as they show us the pictures 1 and 2, shooting with his right hand while holding the victim with the left. In such cases the hand is placed at such angle that the shot can just go to the left.
In image 3 the killer position is consistent with the trajectory of the bullet as shown, but we know that this trajectory is not correct. But look at the position of the victim, because it is the closest representation we have if the shot was made with the right hand. Moreover, it is the only position in which a right hand shot is possible.
The killer should be sitting farther from the center, almost directly behind the driver's seat, with his back on the rear seat. Sheila had to incline her body and her head forward and to the right, more than the picture 3 shows, at least until the middle of his head came into view of the killer on the right side of the headrest. That is, with the head inclined forward and to the right, but facing slightly to the left, as shows in Figure 3.
In that situation, a killer sitting right behind can extend his arm and after put the gun in contact with the head, shoot. The arm of the murderer would be in a position such that the trajectory of the bullet would be slightly to the right, or even straight. The angle of the bullet in the skull of the victim and the impact on the glass would be explained in this situation.
There is another possible scenario, but involves the left hand. It would be very similar to that shown in Figure 2 situation, but with hands changed. With his right hand holding Sheila and shooting with his left hand. Sheila would be facing forward, with her head separate a few inchs of the headrest. In that case the shot would be from the left side of the headrest and take path from left to right.
Those are the two options that I found. Perhaps may be some other, but involving very strange postures of the victim and the killer, and I think these are the two reasonable possibilities. With the data available it is not possible to choose for one or the other.
So, why is always represented the killer shooting with his right hand? I have the suspicion, although I have no proof, it's because the GSR were found on the right hand of Borja. It is also possible that none of the initial suspects without alibi was left-handed.
Anyway, would like to read your views about which of the two possibilities do you think is the most likely, and why.
