FA in Aus.
Hi Estelle :loveyou: Long time no see, but I'm back poking around the entrails in time for the trial.
This will be interesting. I have read several statements about what she was wearing and have seen no confirmation of any of them.
When the story first broke, the first day or so, it was stated that she was in her night gown. The next I read was that she was wearing her own shorts and top. Just recently I read in a recent link (sorry I don't remember which one) that she was wearing Oscar's shorts and tee shirt!
The one that has been most believable to me was that she was in her own shorts and tank top, the same one she was wearing in the video when she was going through the gates to OP's house. If she was wearing this, it most certainly shows that she never was in bed, and shows that OP likely knew exactly where she was.
Do you have a link with respect to this statement? The only link I can find about that video going into Oscar's complex says that she was driving her silver mini and bantered with the security guard. There's no mention of what she was wearing.

The photos of her arriving at the complex show her to be wearing a black top with narrow straps. You can see the photos here:-

I haven't read what she was wearing on her lower half.
Here is a similar report that Reeva was wearing OPs clothes, so perhaps I am doing the Mirror an injustice in accusing it of being known for its shoddy reporting

According to the leaked prosecution documents, Steenkamp was standing and facing the door when she was shot and was believed to have been wearing a pair of Pistorius's shorts and one of his t-shirts.
Here is an early report stating she was wearing a nightgown.

Here is where it is reported that Botha testified she was wearing white shorts and a black top:

So we have 3 different reports, but no confirmation. I tend to believe Botha's testimony.
I am not sure I have read this before but for me the article does not load/scroll easily and I may well have given up. Also I cannot cut and paste anything from the piece so I have retyped the sentence where a Medic who was on the scene stated what Reeva had been wearing at the time of her death.

However, what Reeva had been wearing when she was gunned down is not clear. The Medic interviewed by the Week-end Argus, who had arrived at the scene before Botha, said that Steenkemp had been wearing a black sweat top and long pants but no shoes.
This sounds as though she may have been in a sweat shirt and jogging bottoms at the time of her death.
No doubt all will become clear very soon.
So there's no chance that the clothing was changed post-mortem?

I have read a number of times in recent weeks that a good number of people think OP is a narcissistic psychopath so I thought I should read a little about the condition.
I am not saying the following description is good but it does go some way to describe this combination of personality disorders and their differences.
