My thinking -So why didn’t the “garrote” cause any internal damage to her wind pipe? Doesn’t sound very torturous. Why does the intruder want to torture her if she’s already unconscious? Kinda defeats the purpose. Why was the paintbrush handle only inserted once? Surely a sexual sadist intent on torturing would do something more than that? Why did the intruder redress her and wrap her in a blanket next to her favorite pajamas? Seems like actions that a remorseful person would take, not the sexual sad
To me it all seems indicative of an abuser .
As for re dressing her and wrapping her in blanket , that seems something a parent would do .
