My guess is that the killer did not know that Julia was alone that evening and that the murder was not pre-meditated. I doubt if Julia knew that she would be alone that evening. In fact, Julia wasn't completely alone. One of the roommates (KM) did come in that Sunday evening, but left after a short time. She only picked up a few items before staying at her boyfriend's place. My guess is that KM didn't plan this far ahead, otherwise she would have taken the items with her before she left the house. So I think it is unlikely that Julia knew about KM's plans for that evening, especially since Julia and KM weren't on good terms. To put it differently, I think the only people who knew that Julia would be alone that evening were KM and her boyfriend. But I understand that KM and her boyfriend are not suspects and have passed a polygraph test.
I think that it is more likely that the perp somehow entered Julia's apartment (perhaps Julia let him/her in) and then noticed that she was alone. I do think that she may have talked to someone earlier that day about her evening plans. Perhaps someone was coming over for a visit, or perhaps just to pick up or drop off something. Also, I believe that some of her coworkers were aware that she had gone on a date the night before.
So the big question in my mind is; Who would visit Julia's apartment late Sunday night? And why? Also, I read in an earlier thread, items from the apartment were missing (taken). I wonder if the items only belonged to Julia? I don't recall LE or family even saying what items were missing. It's unusual to think LE wouldn't have a fingerprint or something to go on since someone entered the apartment and Julia's room and bathroom. They would have locked two doors behind them. Could they have wiped to doors clean to cover their tracks? I agreed, it may not have been pre-meditated, however, once it did happen, someone must have covered their tracks quickly and well. Better than most unplanned.
