Yeah, I looked at those pictures and just imagined walking up that slope in daylight, with something 'breakable' in both my hands, and also no idea of the landscape and how steep it was going to get and how far away the door might be and thought, 'nope'.Good point.
DoorDash texts people about their orders.
Even if the order was left on the porch she would likely have received a text update and retrieved it immediately, at 4:00am. This is plenty of time for the killer to miss the DD guy. It only takes A hot minute to drop off food.
And I agree, no way to drop off delivery in the back. A delivery person needs a well lighted area and clear normal path to walk on. We always make sure our light is on, our steps are salted, and if steps are too slippery we tell them to not go up them and stand next to them and knock on the bottom of the door.
There is no normal path to the back sliding glass door, it is basically an unpaved hill you would have to walk up, not realistic for deliveries in the dark in winter.

And then I thought about doing it at 4am, in winter, with my car running and more orders waiting for me... and thought HECK NO.
It's a safety issue, first and foremost. I wouldn't be comfortable doing it. There'd be know way of knowing if you were going to step in a hole, trip over a stump or a wall, or meet an unfriendly dog. Or an unfriendly human. At least one of those was around that night. I don't know how many delivery drivers get mugged, but I bet it's comparable with taxi drivers. And in a student area of town, you can't tell me people don't play unfunny 'pranks' on people just trying to earn a living.
I would leave it at the clearly visible door with the cars parked next to it, and text the person who'd ordered the food where I'd left it. If they complained to my boss, I'd explain why I didn't climb a hill, in the dark, at 4am. Delivery folks literally don't get paid enough for that nonsense.
MOO
