speculated theory dependent on correctness of timestamp on still frame taken from CCTV surveillance in the icebox room.
SUMMARY
canningVale, I also perceive the female appears to be trying to get away.
SO BASICALLY WE SEE EYE TO EYE ON THE TIME STAMP POSSIBILITY
_______________
AND ALTHOUGH ANNALISE OPINION VARIES ON TIMESTAMP, SHE(?) AGREES ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MALE ASSISTING THE CLAMBERING FEMALE
AND SPINNAKER ALSO AGREES ON THE CLAMBERING FEMALE
_______________
spooks, i did say It makes me wonder whether there was some sort of SNEAKY After Hours private party/rave/shindig happening on the upper level.
"sneakyAH" being the operative word, In which case, perhaps the stairs were too obvious? and may have been blocked (imo) by figures whose focus (also imo) is toward the direction of the clambering female.
What are the chances of there having been accomplice(s)?
Do you know what hours the Hotel was licensed to operate? ie. what time would the doors have officially closed for public trade?
We have all repeatedly agreed Jane appeared to be in a very sober state when last seen kerbside at 00:04 ... If the icebox frame timestamp was checked and proven to display 02:02:36, with any possibility it could be her there is a window of TWO long hours in which a lot could have occurred either voluntarily or surreptitiously. If the female was attempting to escape, I think the quickest way down would be the best.
GREAT COLOUR EDITS, SPOOKS, BTW I CAN ALMOST SEE THE FACES OF THOSE OTHER FIGURES SITTING ON THE STAIRS - imo
