Wanted to clarify what I meant about pics taken or not taken that day being looked at first from the perspective of what her original intentions might have been, not solely from what actually happened.
She'd spent all May setting him up...fake MySpace posts, the sex tape, the video fantasy she sent to her herself. Wanting to plant fake photo evidence of sex at the murder scene is entirely consistent with what I believe was her plan not just to kill him but go destroy his reputation....as a means of hurting all those who loved Travis that she hated- Deanna, Sky, family, etc.
That she ended up deleting photos can mean no more than she checked and saw the accidental photos and had to delete those, was out of time because she'd already taken hours longer to kill and leave than her alibi could account for and the roommate was arriving any minute.
In other words, what might she have been planning with planted pics if things had gone according to plan, including more time and less blood everywhere.
That's the first argument about the pics I've heard that puts them in a different light than I've always seen them in before: as a simple record of events that day.
Killing him + destroying his reputation is thoroughly consistent with her character.
I still don't see any reason to believe they were planted or taken on a different day. It would explain why she left the camera and memory card, and perhaps by deleting them she thought the time stamps would be deleted too, but leaving the possibility the raw data (no pun intended) would be found by investigators.
It still seems unnecessarily risky when one of her prime objectives was to distance herself from the crime, and crime scene.
