The photo of his face as he's sitting in the shower wasn't the last one taken of him... only the last one that showed any part of his face. The last one of him before the attack was the one right after where he's still sitting in the shower that only shows him from the neck down. Since the next photo was of the bathroom ceiling it was at that time the attack started.
I agree. I believe that's when she started stabbing and would have been the only time Travis had the physical strength to defend himself and his wounds show that he was vigorously trying to protect himself at one point. I think that Travis crawled out of the shower and pulled himself up at the sink. With every lie Jodi tells there's always a grain of truth and IMO the only truth about being tackled was that Travis was on the ground.
As for the camera in the washer... she put it in there on purpose to wash away blood and her fingerprints on it and probably also to try to destroy the memory card. She couldn't have NOT known it was in the washer because as soon as she turned it on that camera would be banging around in there making a ton of noise.
I don't think she realized the camera was in the washer either and it may not have made any noise bc the washing machine was full of towels and clothes. Jodi thought she had destroyed the evidence when she deleted the photos which is why she didn't bother removing it from the home like the gun and knife. I'm still not convinced that Travis tied her up that day. I think Jodi only claimed that he had in order to explain how the knife just happened to be there when she had to defend her self.:furious::furious::furious::furious::
Looking at the amount and saturation of blood on the carpet going into Travis' bedroom I believe that he was crawling down that hallway trying to escape while Jodi was stabbing him in the back. This part was nothing but a sadistic enjoyment that Jodi was enjoying and it explains the blood in that hallway. Travis manages to continue to crawl to the carpeted area when Jodi lifts his head back and cuts his throat. I think that while Jodi is dragging Travis back into the bathroom the movement of his body causes some air to be expelled from his body which can sound like an audible breath. When Jodi hears the air she assumed he was still alive and that's why she shot him in the head. I've asked Mykeru a couple of times for his opinion based on the area the bullet was found in addition to the blood spatter seen in the photos but haven't heard back yet.
She wasn't going to take the camera with her since it was a brand new camera, and his roommates would see that it was the only thing in the house missing, and Jodi was the photo guru... she wouldn't have wanted to take it because it could point fingers directly at her. She likely intended to remove the camera from the washer when the cycle was done, make up the bed with the washed linens still in the dryer, and put the camera back in it's case, but she ran out of time and had to get out of the house before the roommate came home... she didn't even start to kill Travis until pretty close to around that time, but she likely thought that she could kill him in the shower quickly and he'd die in there all clean and tidy with there being no need for all the clean up and dragging him down the hall to stuff him back in the shower.
ITA except for the camera. I think Jodi believed that she had destroyed all of the evidence on the camera and she didn't take it with her bc it could either be she thought it could traced back to Travis if caught in her possession or it was a disgusting object of his. Remember the story Jodi gave about destroying the shirt and shorts with Travis' name on them? I don't believe it was out of sense of protecting him. IMO, she despised him to a level of viscousness that most of us can't even fathom.
But in leaving that camera in the washing machine even though she had to hurry and get out of the house was a huge red flag that the camera had something to do with the murder pointing the finger at Ms. Camera Guru anyway.
There's just no way that camera went through a wash cycle unknown to her as it would have been banging around in the washer making a lot of noise. And remember, there wasn't much in that wash load in the first place... just his t-shirt, shorts, underwear and socks along with the camera. There's no way she would have not noticed the camera being in there for that reason as well. JM even mentioned during his cross of her that it wasn't a full load of wash, the blood expert showed all the pieced of clothing in that load of wash, and there's just no way she wouldn't have known the camera was in there. The camera went into the washer on purpose.
