I think your logic (as well as others' recent posts) makes sense on how this occurred. However, the passenger side front window being the only window missing is what concerns me. Nowhere in the affidavit does it mention entry/exit wounds on WH nor does it mention anything about bullet holes IN the vehicle. If the "kill shot" was indeed while she was sitting in the front passenger seat, this would indicate that he shot her from the driver's seat, through the passenger front window and NOT from outside of the vehicle looking through the passenger front window. If he had shot her from outside the passenger front window, the shell casing would have landed on the ground, not in the vehicle.
On a further note, in the affidavit (pgs 23/24/25), it states that Detective Seymour observed the following:
-"The rear seat was lowered. On top of the rear seat was a large black rubber mat that was consistent with the size that would cover the rear storage area when the rear seats were in the upright position. On top of the black rubber mat was a brown automotive carpet that appeared to fit in the rear storage area. The rubber mat and the carpeted mat appeared out of place and would normally have been located nearer the rear door. On top of the brown carpeted mat Detective Seymour saw seven white table linens strewn about."
-"He observed a large wet stained area in the middle of the floorboards partially under the front part of the rear seat and this covered an area of about 36" by 24". He observed that it appeared that a red colored substance, that was consistent with the color of blood, had pooled in this area. He saw some darker red clumps that were consistent with coagulated blood."
-"It appeared to Detective Seymour that the source of the blood had been positioned near the center of the rear seat and the blood flowed down and onto the floorboard."
-"He observed a red colored drip, which was consistent with the color and drip characteristics of blood, on the driver's side of the front passenger's seat belt receptacle."
Based on these findings in the affidavit, it sounds to me like he may have shot her first from the front driver's seat facing to the right looking at the front passenger seat, allowing the bullet to exit through the front passenger window and thus shattering it while also causing the scattered "red and white matter" on the front windshield and leaving the tooth fragment in the front driver's floorboard. He then *quickly* moved the body to the rear seat, folded down with the rubber mat covering the seats and perhaps he then placed those scattered white linens over her body or the other carpet mat to conceal it while driving. However, this did not stop the blood from dripping and collecting/coagulating on the floorboard below.
What I really don't understand though is how the other 3 shell casings were INSIDE the vehicle and the coroner stating that WH had 4 gunshot wounds but there being no evidence mentioned of the projectiles (actual bullet) being found or other holes inside the vehicle. In the affidavit, they were very specific about every little spot and extreme detail but no mention of any holes or damage from a bullet. Also, IIRC, there was also no mention of there being blood on the actual back of the rear seats from when they were folded down. Based on the "source" of the blood the detective thought WH was on the rear seat, dripping blood onto the floorboard below.
MOO, I believe he shot and killed her inside the vehicle (at Roslyn lake where he told LE he did the deed), then proceeded to move the body to the rear with the seats folded down, covered up the body with the carpet and/or linens, attempted to do a "basic cleanup" and remove largely visible blood spots from inside the car that others could've potentially seen while he was driving or stopping for gas, and then finally transported her to Larch Mtn to dump the body.
