I believe you are correct. The roommate stopped at the apartment Sunday evening to grab some things quickly and heard the tv louder than a normal volume level. The roommate also, from what I recall, heard Julia’s alarm going off on both Monday morning when returned home and Tuesday morning.
Am I making this up, or didn't one of the roomies stop by over that time period to pick up clothes...and heard the loud TV?
Oh, wow, roses. Thank you, both (Mittens). I kept wondering about this. Roommate was there to get clothes with a friend too, IIRC, and if it was later Sunday that Julia's TV was blaring then you may be perfectly right.
That could mean that night's text to the roommate may have been the perp's way of gauging who be would around?
That is, if the perp had control of Julia's phone to send that text to the roommate or he may have forced her to send it, at the time?
If Julia had rebuffed previous advances and had been known by the perp to have been dating others, that could account for the jealousy. But why would she let him in (if she was the one to open the door)? Because he had a close connection to her family, perhaps. Someone she would have to continue to be around. Perhaps a relative, friend to a relative, or a friend she liked but did not want a romantic relationship with. Sh may not have known the depths of his “desire”. Just some thoughts, I have no real clue.
I wonder if she ever felt she was being stalked.....

Thank you, Spellz. There was Julia's 'trust no one' like SM that's been discussed upthread and the previous threads was directed at whom?
What were the contentious fraught parts of her life as she worked two jobs, was excited about the future, the holidays, herself even, and stepped out and away as an adult?
This is a very good question. Her twin would know most likely. I have always wondered if it were some odd misfit from her work who became obsessed.
By the time LE declared JT a POI in Julia's murder, and his lawyer declared him vulnerable to tripping up under questioning, is it possible LE had time to rule out roommates, colleagues, friends, classmates, or others who may have had contact with her?
As the investigation proceeded and JT kept seeming to impede it here and there, my impression was that so many others had had their lives turned inside out, which helped shift focus away from JT and distance and clam up those who knew damaging things. I would assume, or suspect rather, the level of intimidation of witnesses may have been funky and even severe.
Remember that suicide run JT made to the Dojo? That was funky as hell, then the Ninja suit they arrested him in. Gave me the impression he and whatever they may be hiding off the missing computers, related to Julia or not, is out of bounds and illegal. This is clearly a man who took bathroom doors off to control his household and with strong indications he knew few boundaries. A hunter wondering about border crossings.
Short of creating suspects and scenarios out of thin air, or one's that may fit the evidence, like Julia fainted into the bathtub...
hard to still not wonder about JT and their lack of cooperation with LE, to this day.
