How would he get down the hallway after that though? And how do you explain the blood spray on the sink? A wound like that would be gushing blood immediately. The huge pool of blood at the end of the hallway lines up more with that kind of injury than what was found in the bathroom IMO.
I also can't quite see how she could inflict that kind of wound while facing him. The ME said it was one clean slice. I would think the only way she could accomplish that would be if he was on his hands and knees, and she did it from behind, while she was standing over him. :moo:
My theory is that she stabbed him in the head, neck and shoulders in the shower. He is momentarily stunned, collapses back against the shower stall (arms above his head--PHOTO). We see his chest exposed in the photo.
The autopsy report shows the chest wounds are horizontal rather than vertical, meaning they were inflicted from the side. Which means Travis was incapacitated by the force and pain of the head and neckwounds--otherwise he would not be slumping. The number of chest wounds shows that she tried and failed to hit a vital organ until the last one, which would have required a great swing and tremendous force to penetrate the chest wall 3-1/2 inches, then pull that kitchen (no hilt) knife out.
This is when I think she runs for the gun thinking this guy will not die!
He goes to the sink, coughs, drips, says he can't feel his legs, slips to ground and she finds him pulling himself along by his arms down the hall, bleeding onto the carpet profusely from the chest wounds.
She straddles him in a rage screaming "F*g die, *****" and stabs him repeatedly with her left hand, making the cuts all in a 9" square space.
He collapses, unable to move his legs/feet (which is why his feet are relaxed) but is still alive and still yelling. She hunkers down at his head to slit his throat, loses her balance and steadies herself with one hand on the wall (bloody palm print) and the other hand hitting the camera on the floor (photo of fresh blood flow).
She turns him around, drags him back into the bathroom where she starts cleaning up as he dies (urine, feces, blood, vomit, you name it). She is freaked out thinking he is watching her, accusing her, she thinks he is "still in there" as she said in her ninja story, so she shoots him to make him stop gurgling and looking at her.
That's my current (10th?) version of how I think things went down.
