I wanted to clarify my post earlier about the champagne in the window. It looks like an unopened bottle of Veuve Cliquot in her window sill, in a line with OTHER bottles of alcohol. What looks like a clear liquor is there also, like a Vodka. There are around 4 bottles in a line, which makes me think it was put there just for decoration, and not by law enforcement. I myself have an unopened bottle of Veuve Cliquot at home, so I remember the look of the bottle very well.
The window with the alcohol bottles looks to not have any blinds, so it appears easy to look into. I believe it is close to where the Valentines pics was taken.
I feel like the police must know something about the alley. They were paying close attention to it, and had it all taped off. I am referring to the back alley.
So where did the bleach or clorox come from? Either the killer left the house and returned with the white substance, or they found it in the house and used it. Any criminal using a white substance to get rid of DNA would know to get rid of prints from the container of the white substance.
That is also why I believe the phone was taken. Maybe Allison went for her phone, so the killer grabbed it from her, and thus putting his prints on it. Almost anyone would know that all text messages sent and received can be read by the carrier's phone company, so taking the phone to delete the texts would be pointless. Even bad criminals would figure that out.
I figure a phone company could triangulate a cell phone when it is on, but I doubt they can trace the whereabouts of a cell phone AFTER it has been destroyed. It is too bad, as the killer probably took the phone with him/her, and tracing it could help with what direction he left in. I'm sure the police tried pinging the phone after the fact.
Let's say Allison's father's text did not go through at 10pm Arizona time. The killer was in the house for about 3 hours after the murder, so Allison's phone was still in the house for three hours. Now the killer either turned it off, or broke it right there in the house. I would guess that a killer would turn off a phone, and then carry it out of the house to eventually dispose of it somewhere, like a canal on in a field, so his/her fingerprints would not be detected. Breaking the phone into pieces right there in the house right after the murder could spread parts that contain finger prints.
So what does it mean that Allison's father's text did not go through? If her phone was turned off, then I believe the text would have gone through, just not seen. If the phone was broken, then maybe a text does not go through. I have not seen this topic explored (maybe it has). If the phone was broken before 10pm, well I guess there would be not possibility to trace the signal. This would have been clever of the criminal I guess. But if the phone was just turned off, I believe turned off phones can still be traced, maybe through having an IP address for the phone. The question is, could that IP address or whatever it is, be traced after the crime. I certainly do not know much about this. Too bad the ex-super hacker/phone phreaker Kevin Mitnick can not help out with this, but I imagine SPD must be pretty sophisticated in something like this. If there was any way to track a turned off phone after the fact, surely law enforcement would know about it.
Wish we knew more about her phone.
