1. Doesn't the CCoC have blinds for the windows? Do they close the blinds on the rooms after use/when locking up? I mention this regarding whether interior lights coming on in the rooms could be picked up on SWFA's cameras.
2. If Altima driver is also SwatPerp, and this was a targeted murder, is it possible he was making one last sweep around SWFA looking for persons/security guard, interior lights, cameras, view, alarms? I mean as opposed to the burglar theory. Whether murderer or burglar, SwatPerp had probably cruised around during daylight before.
We have seen blinds in various rooms in pictures. However, we have no way of knowing what blinds, if any, would have been in use. We also know from the drive-by videos done a few weeks later that you could see the open interior door/connection from room 20 to room 19 through the window in Room 19. So, it is clear that every blind was not always used every time.
The point of all this is that from a behavioral analysis standpoint you would want to know as much as possible about where SP went, in what order, how much time spent in each place, what known activities in each place, did they revisit any location, etc. The more you know about the activities the more information you have in assessing either the suspect or what actually was going on (burglary/targeted/something else).
Let's say hypothetically that MPD has all the movements of SP and timings from CCoC cameras only. And, lets say SP did not go from door to door down the South hall and after entering room 20 and then went room to room until Room 16 using the interior access. Such a scenario leaves a gap of almost certainly many minutes without having any video to know how long was spent in any one of them.
@Gumshoe Stories tells us that Room 17 was the most disturbed of the rooms so theoretically more time was spent there than the other rooms - but that doesn't mean that is true unless you could have some way of gauging time spent. So, if it hasn't been done already by MPD, I have suggested a way it could be done. Of course, if
@Gumshoe Stories is not correct about automatic lighting in those rooms then it becomes much more difficult - but not impossible - to try and pick up the light from the headlamp through any of those windows (if the blinds aren't closed!) from the SWFA camera.
I don't need to know any of that information - though I would want it - but MPD does need it (even if they don't know it) because a behavioral analyst would certainly want to know it - if it were possible to obtain it and it does seem possible. The only thing that would be significant to me, regardless of how it is obtained, is if SP revisited any location prior to Missy's arrival and, of course, what location that was.
As for #2, if SP was at SWFA and this was a targeted murder rather than a burglary, then what went on at SWFA was a deliberate distraction. But on the second point, it is possible the person in the Altima had gone around there before in daylight, and almost certainly without any of the shenanigans we saw in the video. If that person had the intent to rob SWFA then it is likely they had been inside the store on one or more occasions earlier as well to get the lay of the land so that if or when they attempt a burglary they could get in and out quickly because unlike many churches it is a certainty that alarms will be tripped and police response will be rather rapid.
Thank you Jethro!
