In the most recent ISP photo dump, there is a crime scene photo (113) with one doc marten boot in the living room, kind of in the middle of the room. In the same photo dump, photo 111 shows that boot's mate on it's side on the floor right next to the left end of the couch:

I don't any other shoes in the living room, and no shoes at all on the 3rd floor stairs or the hall to xana's room.
IMHO, the problem with the idea of Xana having put on boots/shoes to go get her food, and that was what made the clompy shoe noise on the stairs that DM thought she heard.....is that Xana was found without any pants on. She was wearing a sweatshirt and thong undies and that is all.
Even with boots on, Xana's not going outside via the backdoor and around to the front to grab her food wearing a sweatshirt and thong underwear on a cold Nov night in Idaho.
Sure, there is a small chance she had on very baggie sweatpants, slid into some docs to go outside to get food.....but in order to be found as she was (wearing just the sweatshirt and thong undies), we'd have to believe something like this happened:
--grab food from outside, walk back around to patio door go back to her room
--slip off her sweatpants, and leave the boots on....
--leave her room and then go up the 3rd floor steps to see what is going on
--immediately be chased down the stairs
--kicks off both her boots in the living room while running
--attacked and murdered
--found in room wearing just the sweatshirt and thong undies
And I don't see her taking off sweats/bottoms in her room after removing boots...deciding to leave her room to go to kitchen or up to the 3rd floor and putting on boots just to do that.
I think the likeliest and simplest solution is that what DM thought was boots was either BK (heavier body, doesn't matter what shoes he was wearing), or the sounds of Xana and BK running down the stairs and past her room, IMHO.
I have been so obsessed with this horrific crime the past few weeks, and unable to spend any amount of time on this site!! So frustrating! Please accept my apology for the lengthy post, but there are several things on my mind, and I apologize in advance because I know all of this has probably been discussed at length throughout the threads.
But in regard to gremlin444's post, I agree. To me, it makes more sense that Xana had on the white jeans and slipped on the crocs to get her food, and pulled them off in the bathroom, just like they were left, before she started eating.

I think she went to the kitchen to warm her fries, or something along those lines. The cabinet with the plates was open, and there was a clear cellophane bag inside the JIB bag that looks like what is around popcorn bags. There was a popped popcorn bag under her fries by the microwave...

Obviously pure speculation, but I think she heard something that made her look up the stairs, and BK was probably trying to exit, at a minimum the 3rd floor, at that point. IMO, she was no longer in the kitchen when she first became aware of him. And DM heard him running after her from the flight of stairs right outside her bedroom and the kitchen. The ISP released pictures of specifically that area, with pictures of even the window and ceiling. Maybe BK threw his hand holding the knife, if he was just carrying it in his hand, up in those stairs and there is castoff all the way to the ceiling?? She probably said there was someone in there (meaning - the house) and BK started running down the stairs following her to her room where he caught her in the doorway to her room, and she fought him with everything she had. Ugh... just so sad.
The footprints in the snow look like boots. MOO
What I keep wondering about is DM's statement about BK carrying something when he was leaving. So, does this mean he had something stashed somewhere to put stuff in?? Was he just carrying it from room to room?? Ugh. I know I'll never have that answer, but it keeps rattling around in my head.
I even spent one night looking at Sharps Disposal containers wondering if he was carrying something like that to keep from cutting himself with the knife after he murdered everyone and wondering about safeneedledisposal.org sites that would be within driving distance. Given BK's history with heroin, he would be familiar with needle/sharp object disposal, and the fact that no one is going to dig through that. JMO MOO
I've been watching GH's videos on YouTube. For years I've thought BK parked in the back, but after watching the unedited video, and specifically on one of GH's Lives (I had to replay because I missed the live event, and now can't find the specific video for the life of me), there is a sound that GH plays, during the period BK would be leaving the house, that IMO sounds like metal hitting metal. It's a very brief sound. There are chain link fences on either side of the house, and ISP specifically takes pictures of the side of the house closest to the house with the video camera. IMO, BK traveled to and from the residence via this route on foot, and this would also explain why it may have taken a little longer than if he had been parked right out the back door. Something about the intentional leaving of the footprints in the snow heading in that direction were intentional on BK's part to also give the impression he parked back there. All JMO-MOO.
Although, after reading his papers and looking at his messed-up handwriting, he isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is, but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't try to incorporate some of the things that he had learned in his classes about crime scenes, etc...
Also, at around 4:06:47, before BK does the 3-point turn around, it looks like he is trying to backup and parallel park, IMO. Also, in the audio and video when BK is leaving the scene, GH points out how the audio doesn't sound the same. You don't hear the usual "crunch of gravel." IMO, that "crunch of gravel" comes from the car taking the curve from the side street, and now, I really think BK was parked in front of the house so he could easily get to his vehicle and leave with the least number of turns, etc... I think when BK drove around the back, that was for surveillance purposes and walking straight in and out the same direction would give the illusion that he was parked back there, but for a quick exit, being out front would be the most efficient.
And last but not least, when the prosecutor was laying out what had happened during the crime, after the plea agreement, and he said, " I will say for the record that there is no evidence there was any sexual component or sexual assault on any of the victims. I want to make that clear so there's no speculation." BK seemed to look smug and nod as if it was very important to BK that this was on the record. I wonder if BK requested this be stated on the record in the plea hearing? AS IF that makes anything he did less heinous!!
Anyways, I just had to get all of this out in one place. Thank you if you have read this far.
Again, everything above is all speculation and opinion on my part.
