Does anyone know exactly where the CG class was to be held? Was it a room inside the building off of one of the hallways? I think if she actually was killed in the southwest corner of the building, it must have been inside a room or it was captured on video, because two cameras are in the southwest corner.
That or it wasn't the southwest corner, since the actual southwest corner of the building is a covered patio. I'm going to assume she was killed somewhere else in the building, away from the cameras and indoors? I haven't heard any clues that would point to otherwise.
Here's my map of where I believe at least three of the cameras are placed.
Disclaimer: I've never been in the church, so this map is only an estimation of hallways/walls, etc. It is in no way accurate as far as doorways, exits, etc. It's really only for my own orientation regarding the video. The patio area is definitely on the SW corner, though.
Thanks, Batbrat for this diagram...it's rather like I've envisioned it based in the aerial views, at least. Keying in on the cameras...the only way I'm currently able to reconcile MB being killed off-camera AND killed in the SW part of the building if if SP lay in wait for her in the vestibule (itty bitty white rectangle off the patio entrance). The hall cams wouldn't have caught it, and the vestibule would provide darker cover than the halls at that time of the morning.
Some have suggested MB was
killed in a room in that SW area. If so, yes, the killing would also be off camera, but there are at least two issues that scenario raises:
1) Enticement for room entry - it seems MB would have no cause to enter a room on her way to the vestibule to gather what she'd unloaded from her car. (Unless someone can confirm that the room there off the SW doorway is a restroom??) And if SP hid in a room and then made a noise to try to entice her, there's no certainty that she wouldn't freak out in the hallway and run the other direction (I know I would). If SP hid in a SW room and then jumped out and dragged Missy back into the room to kill her, that initial part of the attack would be on camera.
But LE have specifically said that "no interaction" between the two was caught on camera. So where Missy was headed ("where he was") must've been someplace she went willingly, and simply walked into. I can only see a bathroom or the vesitbule as fitting that schematic. But, if it was a room or a bathroom, that leads us to the second issue:
2) Room exit - how did perp escape the room after the murder without being seen on the hallway cams?
LE have stated that there is no video of SP after the murder...but also that he "presumably he left the way he entered." But that second (presumed) remark was stated early on (in a presser, spontaneously, in response to reporter's question). IF SP attacked Missy in the SW corner of the building (more recently released info) but also had presumably entered via the N side of the building - if he left the way he entered, there would be
hallway cctv of him leaving the SW corner attack area and heading N back to the kitchen. But again, LE has stated there is no cctv of him after the murder. So I'm left wondering if LE has now revised their knowledge of how SP left - and if SP left via a window or doorway in the vicinity of the murder right after the attack.
If SP attacked her in a SW corner room (restroom?) and then exited the building without triggering the hallway cctv cams, unless he tunneled hs way out, it seems there would be a broken front room window seen in the news videos. But there's not...the only broken exit of any sort seen near the SW part of the building is those exterior glass doors where MB was unloading. So...until I find out that there IS hallway cctv of SP after the murder (ie. LE lied), OR that those N and SW hall cams had been shot out or disabled (ie. LE didn't disclose), my logic is telling me that SP must've boogied out those SW exterior doors where she was parked right after killing her there in the vestibule.
