What about closer to the building? If a car turned into the driveway, perhaps killed it's lights, and swing a wide berth around to the opposite end out of sight, would a camera from the church pick up the movement, even just a silhouette?
A camera somehow picked up both MB and camper 1's arrival to the church. Not entry, but arrival itself. Are the cameras motion activated by headlights, or by proximity, or not motion activated at all?
If LE were able to establish that a car would have to have been picked up as it came in, even if only the shadow of it, then that would enable them to know for sure whether the perp drove in from the front or didn't drive in at all.
Those are good questions, and reasonable to ask ...and I'm sure LE has explored them. But I don't know the answer, and I don't think anyone else other than LE does either.
We do know that one camera got a glimpse of perp coming, and the same or a different one saw MB arriving, and also camper 1. And we know that LE has said that, for some reason, the exterior cams at the church that night didn't record. But which cam(s) got those images (whether the Outdoors store, from far away in the rain, or whether some interior cam in the church getting a glimpse of the outside ...or even if one or more of the outdoor cams at church worked 100% and LE is keeping that a secret) we don't have any clue.
I suspect there is quite a bit more to be gleaned from the various cameras, positioning, what did or didn't record, and so on. IMO that would explain why they had reconstruction experts out there, to try to expertly cobble it all together into a more complete narrative to work from, including figuring out what might be indicated for when they didn't record. But imo we the public have too little knowledge to help at all in those areas, beyond what little can be added to the mix from examining the video we have been given.
To be specific ...

Not being snarky, but we don't have enough info to even make a helpful guess.
