Yes, we did, thank you SMK
Now I only have to lose the 10 or so pounds I've gained this holiday season

That's because you don't have a knife pointed at your throat.
I think that response answers all of your other queries too.
Hendry's analysis has Guede on the toilet (after having broken into an empty cottage) and hearing Meredith return home. He then goes to ambush her in her bedroom (with the knife - a sudden crime of opportunity . Also in this scenario Guede is forced to confront Meredith, as he tried to leave quietly by the front door, and found it locked by her (from the inside, and she has the keys). Of course this is a very compelling analysis, if one believes the lone wolf theory (and Hendry makes it the more believable). When I initially began to suspect the involvement of Knox and Sollecito in a clean up or staging, I kept Hendry intact, expect to add that Guede was there with Knox's pre-approval.
Guede himself says he is on the toilet when he hears MK scream. Some people believe she actually screamed when she saw him on the toilet (this fits in with his own remarks about jumping up and not pulling his pants up - he may have done just that, fearing to lose even a second for Meredith to dial 112).
We don't know if he used the toilet first, last, or (if not alone) sometime in between. Obviously, if he operated as a lone wolf. it would have to be first or last - it is doubtful that he would leave a victim to use the bathroom.
I guess in the days before dna, no one would be certain that it was Guede who used the toilet and didn't flush.
Yes, it does. As it was dark, she may have seen a light on (Rudy himself places these words in Meredith's mouth: "Anybody home?").bbm
But all of that is negated if Meredith noticed someone using the bathroom when she first came into the house, and checked on it.
http://masseireport.wordpress.com/contents/rudy-hermann-guede/Further biological traces pointing to Rudy Guede were found in the toilet paper recovered in the toilet of the larger bathroom. The feces present in the toilet did not however yield any result; Dr. Stefanoni, biologist of the Scientific Police, explained that the presence of numerous bacteria easly leads to the destruction [note: original says "presence destroys"; what is meant is "bacteria destroys"] of the DNA that could have been present in the feces.
Correction: I had said in my post above, the it is a good thing dna determined that the feces belonged to Guede. I guess it was only the toilet paper which showed his dna:
So we know he used the toilet paper , but not that the feces were his(only kidding!!)

Most welcomeThanks, you are always so thorough!
thanks for the thumbnail. From the living room area she could have seen if the bathroom light was on and door open.bbm

House layout from : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8394110.stm
Yes, it is possible that she just walked in the front door and walked straight to her room. But it's also possible that she would have seen the light on in the large bathroom and would have checked it out, knowing neither Laura nor Filomena were expected home at the time. Also, if the rest of the house was dark, the light on in the large bathroom would have been noticeable.
Also, if the light was on in Filomena's room, or even if it wasn't, she would have noticed the broken window, IMO. Before she went to her bedroom.
There are just too many other scnenarios that would have all had to have, by chance, not occured, for the Hendry scenario to be possible, contained to Meredith's bedroom.
Was just looking at PMF forum and the question had come up, why (assuming guilt/cleanup) had Knox not gotten rid of evidence in small bath. Someone pointed out that the bathmat had to have been intentionally left; no way she could have overlooked that. If it is supposed to be Sollectio's print, and not Guede's, how would this make sense? Didn't we cover this here? (Cannot recall which thread or what the conclusion was now....will try and search )
thanks for the thumbnail. From the living room area she could have seen if the bathroom light was on and door open.
Ah, now I recall. Thanks--- my memory is coming back now:blushing:Yes, I think it was last thread (#9). It was sometime recently.
Of course, there was no agreed-upon conclusion.
I think my own theory was that Amanda never thought in a million years that the police would ask for Raffaele's footprint, to match the footprint with.
That they would just assume, that this footprint must be the burglar's footprint.
That she left it there because it supported her "burglar" being in the house.
It was a male footprint; she thought it would actually bolster her burglar story. She did not think they would ever check it against Raffaele's footprint.
If guilty, they knew they had Guede feces and other dna in bedroom. They may well have thought that white college kids, one of them the son of a wealthy urologist, would not be suspected.
That's a good question.But why Amanda accused Lumumba instead of Guede?
Great diagram - uploaded like a pro :clap:I think that the following is the best floorplan I have seen for the cottage. Although the washer/dryer is located in the wrong spot. It shows that there really is no way to see into the larger bathroom toilet area from the living room/kitchen area. Even if the light was on there is no way to know for sure that Meredith would go into the bathroom to see who it was.
Thanks to SMK for telling me how to do the thumbnails!
But why Amanda accused Lumumba instead of Guede?
Because with Lumumba, who did not know anything, no chance of Amanda getting caught.
