She would have been expecting his roomate to come back home around 6:00pm, right? She knew, from Travis telling her, that one roomate was out of town.
She was dressed - as in ready to leave? - and Travis was in the shower. She says she convinced him to allow her to take photos of him in the shower. I believe I remember her likening it to "a Calvin Klein ad campaign" photoshoot.
She obviously brought the gun and the knife into the house with her. Where do you think she had them? Inside a small suitcase, perhaps, which she had brought up into his bedroom?
Whether gunshot first or chest stab first, where do you think she went to get the weapon?
Do you think maybe she took some of the photos and then Travis said "that's enough, you need to get out of here and get on the road"? She then goes into the bedroom and gets the knife (I am of the knife first theory) which could have fit into the pocket of a hoodie. She comes back into the bathroom, takes one more photo of him, then goes over and opens the shower door, surprising him, and stabs him in the chest.
He then comes out of the shower and goes to the sink where he coughs out blood. (That fine spray of blood seen on the sink and the mirror is definitely from a bloody cough. There are also splotches of blood at the sink that would have been from the chest wound.)
Did she then start stabbing him in the back? There were both cuts and stab wounds all over him - including on his neck, his abdomen, etc. Then somehow he is crawling down the hallway towards the bedroom. He had to have been all cut up by the time this happened judging by the amount of blood on the floor of the hallway and low on the walls on both sides of the hallway.
She slit his throat when he was at the end of the hallway in the bedroom. And in this scenario, she shot him after all of this when he was back in the bathroom. I have only put the gunshot to the head last because of the lack of blood within the brain as per the Medical Examiner. If the gunshot to the brain was first, there would HAVE to have been blood inside the cranium. There are just too many arteries and veins inside there for there not to have been any blood in there.
Her clothing, at least the slacks for sure, had to have blood all over them. So she has to have changed clothing before she left. Meaning she had to go somewhere and get plastic bags to put them into. It was was quite a feat for her to get Travis into that shower when you think of it, him being 180 lbs. of dead weight. Especially to get him into that upright, sitting position.
If you have children, think back to when a child finally becomes too heavy for you to "carry them to bed" when they have fallen asleep somewhere else. That child did not weigh anywhere near 180 lbs. Perhaps she was having an adrenaline-fueled burst of strength. I think she washed his body or at least his genitals off really well to remove DNA evidence.I think the water came out onto the bathroom floor during this, as she leaned in over his body.
Jodi may not have been the person who washed the sheets. That could have been Travis, cleaning up after the K-Y sex. But I think she put the load of towels and clothes in, and I still can't decide if she put the camera in on purpose or by mistake.
How much did she try to clean up? Not too much, really, because that sink area would have been one of the easiest areas to clean and she didn't clean it.
I think she got the hell out of there as quickly as she could afterwards so as not to encounter the roomate.
It is really, really lucky that the palm print and the hair were found. With all of the above, I would have expected there to be more fingerprint evidence. And maybe there was, but only the palm print was in the blood?
