Surely LE knew about her diminished state from Day 1 (how the heck would you hide being that drunk/hungover at 4am) but if not is it possible she is throwing the drunk, blacked out, whatever out now to start an accidental death defense or as an defense to why she didn't hear anything? Would being drunk be a defense to an accidental death? Would it change how she is charged?
I imagine realizing the baby is dead would have a sobering influence.
If there was activity around 2:38 a.m. as has been hinted at (phone activity), then that gives from that point until 4:00+ to get rid of evidence of an accident, clean up, gargle a gallon of mouthwash, etc.
I wonder if anyone noticed what Deborah was wearing when JI got home? Was she in PJs? Had she crashed in her clothes? Was she in different clothes than the ones she was seen in earlier that evening? (Are there clothes that were trashed because they now contain traces of bodily fluids, for example).
I'm at the point of believing the lights were all on because DB had just enough time to cover up and maybe literally dove into bed when she heard JI come home. I still do not believe he's involved. I DO believe she had a helper clean up evidence and remove the baby from the home.
