I just had an aha moment with one of the photographs.

As I have been looking at this one, I assumed the streaks on his leg was wet body hair. Suddenly I realized that he hated body hair, so it couldn't be--his legs are hairless in his nude photos on the bed shortly before.
OMG - it is blood streaks. You can see his upper body is washed clean and there are no visible stab wounds on the chest even though the right side of his chest has stab wounds in the autopsy photos. I think the shower spray has washed blood off his upper body but not the lower body. You can see blood and water under his body near the drain.
Which means he bled standing up (at the sink?) before this picture was deliberately taken by the murderer standing over him. She would need a cup to rinse the blood off the rest of his body because she was bleeding too and couldn't take the chance that some of her DNA would be on his body.
Yesterday I felt lightheaded after looking at the wounds in poor Travis' back. One expert said that he would have had to be immobile for her to have been able to have stabbed him so many times in such a small area. I just can't wrap my head around that.
Also, I am plagued by the question of why in the photo of JA's leg/foot/Travis' head & shoulder -- why does she appear to be dragging him AWAY from the shower???
All of the above only JMO and I welcome any/all other takes on this. I may be changing from the knife first to the gun first camp (not that it matters- still a heinous butchering of a terrific guy by a psycho ***** from hell).
