I added a couple more slides to my reconstruction. I also added some clarification on how I see the body movements in slide #3.
Counting the tiles and following the tile grouting, I've oriented the crime scene photos in these new slides with respect to the position of Jodi's foot in the 'foot' photo, as well as the last known position of the camera.
The death scene and blood trails make sense to me, but I've struggled a bit over the location of the camera for the final 'dragging' photo. Clearly the body is being dragged from left to right in the photo. But we also know that the body is being dragged away from the carpet and toward the bathroom. Therefore, the camera must be up against the wall, as depicted in the last slide. There's no other way for the body to be appearing to go from left to right and still match the blood trail up the hallway toward the bathroom.
Unless... the forensics guy inadvertently reversed the image during recovery from the memory card....
The last photo is maddening, as the angles don't look quite right and the photo is so grainy. But I do think the body is quite close to the camera, so its possible that the camera is up against the wall. Remember, we are only seeing a small portion of Travis' body, so it is hard to get the perspective of how close it is to the camera. The camera could have been jostled when Jodi is walking backward dragging Travis' body, and then 2 seconds later the camera shoots that final photo. Jodi is no longer visible after the 2 second delay, as she has left the field of view.
Considering the struggle that occurred following the 'foot' photo, it seems highly unlikely that the camera was not kicked to a new location. In the 'foot' photo, it stood squarely between the participants and the carpet. If the struggle occurred as depicted in slide #2, there would have been kinetic energy on the opposite side of the camera (the blood smear wall), so it would make sense that the camera would be kicked in the direction of the opposite wall, putting it in position to snap a photo of the body being dragged from left to right, away from the carpet.
What do you guys think??
