Morning troops
Just to throw some questions "out there", purely as an exercise in thinking (which has got me in trouble before...
):
Let's just make a couple of presumptions...
What if DJK is NOT guilty of murder? What if what he said is true - we have to look at both sides of every story. So what if he WAS in Morgan's place that night, with Morgan, and they did whatever they did? (We can only guess whether it was sexual or sitting having a beer discussing sci-fi, or whatever). And what if he DID leave as he said he did, just before 3am, and if he DID see a female entering the flat? That could indeed have been the flatmate, JR, or somebody else. But if it was somebody else, then there would have been very little or no time for any situation to develop which resulted in the death of Morgan, and for somebody to escape. So it's easier to assume that it was most likely JR coming home - at about 02:50.
But while DJK has all the features that make him attractive as the perp - lonely nerd, into weird books, possibly a pretend-life, etc etc - we have to look at the possibility that he may be nothing other than just a weird nerdy young gay guy who is on the periphery of it all. Doesn't explain Morgan's blood on his satchel, though. Or his glasses - which suggests that DJK was
below Morgan, who was bleeding, assuming that DJK was wearing the glasses at the time. If an arterial bleeder had been pumping upwards, then Morgan would have died much more quickly - I'm still favouring a venous bleed (guessing internal jugular, pending the autopsy report). And venous bleeds don't "pump" or squirt - they dribble, run, or gush downwards, depending on the severity of the injury. But the more severe the injury, the more quickly Morgan would have died - which brings us back to the timeframe...
Given that we don't know the exact time of the stabbings, but that Morgan WAS still alive when JR found him and even when the paramedics arrived, can we work out a sequence of events such as:
JR arrives home and goes to her room (or kitchen, bathroom, wherever - but not Morgan's room).... Then while doing whatever girls do when they get home (makeup removal, shower, whatever), she hears the noises from Morgan's room. Some MSM have said those noises woke her up, others have just said she heard them. And where there has been confusion about whether or not JR was home or just got home, it may well be that both are true. If she arrived home about 2:50, then 10 minutes later found Morgan. I don't recall seeing anywhere that she arrived home and IMMEDIATELY found Morgan - after all, why would she go into Morgan's room upon arriving home?
SO - those lines of reasoning leave a gap in the logic - either DJK is lying and did in fact stab Morgan before leaving the flat at 2:50, with JR finding Morgan about 3am, OR somebody else (?JR) was somehow involved in Morgan's injuries and JR called 000 while he was still alive. Was that an instant-regret type of call, with the job unfinished? "Oh Gawd, what have I done?" sort of thing?
But if the latter, then why has she remained so resolutely "not a suspect" from the beginning? How and why did the police so decisively rule her out as a suspect from day 1? To do that, the police MUST have known that she was NOT in the flat at the time of the stabbing, and by logical extension, they must have known the time of the stabbing... I can't see any other way that JR could have been so definitely ruled out. Did they have CCTV footage of her arriving home, being dropped off by her boyfriend? With timestamps on it?
Motives? If DJK, then who knows? If JR, then possibly finding that Morgan wasn't who or what she thought he was?
One other point - we (and some MSM) have been making the assumption that DJK's satchel contained his "chef's kit". But we don't really know that, although I'm sure the police do. But it may have been just his everyday satchel - I see a lot of folks walking around with those messenger-style satchels over their shoulders - with books, water bottle, laptop or iPad or whatever... Often see them delving into those bags to get out the iPad or Macbook Air (both very slim) at the coffee shop.
And one last thought - if DJK had in fact stabbed Morgan, and had not instantly killed him, then later found out that Morgan had died, WHY did he contact the police? Yes I know about perps inserting themselves into the investigation, but surely, this one was a step too far? Or many steps too far? Surely DJK would have known that he would have been putting himself well and truly into the frame? It doesn't sit well with me, that bit...
Lot of questions remain unanswered, although I'm sure the police know a lot of those answers. :banghead:
So - just random thoughts about some of the features that roll around in my head as not quite adding up. Discuss, debate, and shoot 'em down - but don't shoot the messenger just for putting the thoughts out there
