I spot areas for perp to hide within that perimeter.

I also thought we should note where the fire station is and police station.

If perp knew this they would most likely avoid Lancaster street.

I noticed that House of Friendship location just yesterday. In criminology reading, I learned they will often use a location they are familiar with. Could be anywhere, but that one did cross my mind.

Do we know whose truck is in the driveway? It strikes me as odd that it wasn't moved during the fire. A panicky resident trying to rescue their vehicle.

You're right. I have no idea how fire dept proceeds with nearby vehicles. There was one in the back too. We all assumed the truck belonged to the neighbour at 29 Major St. I suspect they may not have wanted him to move it since it might be covered in evidence.

Some interesting statistics in this study. (Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/scien...distances,of victim transport by relationship.)

Yes that House of Friendship location near EW’s apartment and the fire station also caught my eye.

House of Friendship regularly hosts both undergraduate (BSW) and graduate (MSW) Wilfrid Laurier students for their field education requirements.

Thr 807 Guelph St location is the hub for Emergency Food Hampers, MSW students may also be placed in other House of Friendship programs such as ShelterCare, Addiction Treatment, or Family Outreach.

It would be prudent a search is done around that facility it seems to me. (I won't be doing it though, too scary). But there are tons of others to be checked as well, but the familiarity thing is notable. It is a 12 minute walk. Do you think they had any outdoor shopping carts? Next door to House of Friendship is Knights of Columbus. Google says: "The Kitchener Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal organization focused on charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. They support local organizations like the Food Bank, House of Friendship, and Make-A-Wish, alongside hosting events like trivia nights, toy drives, and recycling initiatives to serve the community"

Continued info for body moved by foot: Those victims dragged from the murder scene in the study I read, were either dragged to a neighbouring property or away from the murder location on the same property, such as a garden or back yard and were almost always, 91 %, along a fence line or pathway.

For a body moved via vehicle: Most bodies are found within 15 to 20 metres of where a vehicle can be safely pulled over or parked without drawing suspicion. The research indicates that victims were never disposed in the centre of large acreages or areas, always around the peripheries. Perp with a vehicle drove up to 15 km (1hr) overall in the study. "Within all three relationship categories, 84 % of disposed victims were located within 15 km of where they were killed." So this broadens the possibilities.
