I lived in this building for years right before this incident (2013-2019). There were multiple entrances (I can think of 6, but I am probably forgetting a few) that were very easy to tailgate into, so it would be unlikely they would have accurate records.I wonder if the apartment management kept records of when residents buzzed non-residents in? It’s possible the POI “tailgated” a resident and slipped in after them so in that case any possible data from the intercom system would be irrelevant and useless. But would be interesting to know if there’s any indication that Scott buzzed a person into the building at around 10:30am-ish (or even if another resident did).
For further context, it’s a massive building, with a lot of people coming and going. The way the building is designed is two towers of 21 floors each, connected by a shared lobby on the first floor. There was also a convenience store attached on the first floor that was open to the public/street. It would be very common to have a lot of non-resident traffic as it was adjacent to a metro station, bus stop hub, and office buildings.
For entry points that I can recall (each required a fob/access)
- 2 each tower’s main entrance. During renovations, the main entrance for the entire building including the lobby was to moved to the other side temporarily.
- because of the size and volume of people in the building, at the time, concierge would allow sign ins and you could wait to go up but it was so busy that visitors often just walked up with/behind someone
- 2 entrances from the pool in the courtyard (in the space between the towers right across from the lobby on the first floor)
- a side/back entrance from the sidewalk/street on one tower
- the entrance from the convenience store
- entrances from the parking garage - the parking garage was accessed with a separate parking fob and then there were several entrances from the garage (garage was underneath, four or so levels, under both towers)
During the time of this murder, the entrance and first floor were also undergoing extensive renovations, so some of the keypads/entry access points weren’t active.
