It is well established that she was fully dresesed, hair done and make-up on when the first officers arrived.
I think while it may be proof that she never went to sleep that night, the fact that she put on clothes she wore the day before for about 5 hours does not necessarily raise any red flags for me. I live in the deep south and it would be nasty to try to wear the same sweaty, damp from humidity clothes 2 days in a row without laundering them. However I have spent quite a few fall seasons in the permafrost of northern Canada and wearing the same clothes 2 days in a row was not icky at all. The clothes did not get nasty from sweat or rumpled from humidity. It was the first time in my life that my clothes looked as fresh at the end of the day as at the beginning. Of course, tropical weather clothes are different from permafrost Canada clothes but I assume that Rocky Mountain winter clothes could be worn 2 days in a row or more without them looking bad or smelling.
I can 100% see myself jumping out of bed, pulling on last night's winter clothes, refreshing make up (maybe even over slept-in make up) and fluffing up last night's hair do in order to board my private plane to my vacation house. No one but family is going to see me. But for the private plane, I have done the exact same thing.
I don't think the clothes prove she was up all night even though she likely was. It just isn't something I would consider in making that conclusion. Rather I believe that once she discovered JBR's damaged body, she couldn't sleep if she wanted to. She may have laid on the bed, fully dressed until it was time to call LE.
I don't agree, because if I'm getting on a plane for travel I'm going to wear something other than what I would wear to an evening Christmas party. Also when she went downstairs it was only to make coffee, most people would only throw a dressing gown over their night clothes before doing so, especially before 6am! She only expected to see family, getting John and the kids ready at that time, and would be unlikely dressed. The 7 minutes between the call and police arriving is nowhere near long enough time to dress and put on makeup .. IMO she stayed up all night.
