Good point.
Regardless of her plans for traveling to New York, I think the timeline is very narrow anyways.
Blood was found in the garage, and indicates that the attack almost certainly happened as soon as she arrived home.
Had she been leaving, I would expect the attack to have taken place in another part of the house.
She dropped the kids off at school, and was dead before she ever had the chance to enter the main part of the house.
I was responding to a previous person on this thread that said she had to plan on driving, according to the limited time frame on the New Cannon line schedule.
My point is, that if she was going by train, she would have driven to the Stamford station with more options for the train departures.
Definitely agree with the timing of the attack. It would be the Only opportunity, for the attack.
If she had made it into the house, no telling when she would come back out.
FD attacking in the house was not an option with his plan to make it look like she was abducted at Waveny Park and absolutely no way to clean everything IN the house.
So, he definitely attacked, immediately after the school drop off and her subsequent return home.
Otherwise, risking the arrival of the Housekeeper or Nanny before he completed the clean up.
The Wednesday visit with the children at JD's home, was the final research he needed.
He checked everything out at the house to have places to hide and 'time' everything out before deciding that Friday, May 24, 2019 was D-Day?
He spent Thursday, May 23 in preparation.
