There is just so much we don't know, lost because BK murdered multiple witnesses.
But there's also a lot we do know.
Like we learned that the DDD didn't not see who retrieved the order she left at the lower level door.
We now know that, at a time, XK and EC were on the couch together. I don't think we know what time EC sent himself to bed or what time XK acquired nightwear (sweatshirt and panties, no footwear).
We now know the DDD arrived much earlier than we knew. She was in the area for 15 minutes, moved her vehicle, was on foot, was going to deliver to the slider but opted not to, all starting at about 3:45 am.
And we know that BK was circling the neighborhood like a shark to bloody water, and that he was looping from about 3:30 onward and overlapped with the DDD, quite intensely really.
She may have gotten the window wrong but she got the hair color right, indicating she'd seen a dark haired girl in the window. Popping up and down out of sight.
Consider: XK was expecting her DD at 3:45, may have been tracking it in real time on her phone. KG could have been waiting with her, happy to have found Murphy. Didn't one of the surviving roommates say someone said she was going up to bed? Maybe she was keeping XP company until her DD arrived and had only recent 'gone to bed' when BB entered.
If XK was on the couch, popping up periodically to check for her delivery, the DDD could have interpreted that as popping quickly out of sight when it really was popping quickly in to sight -- a quick scan for headlights. But also, if she was watching for her DD, XK could have seen the Elantra, even thinking it might be her DD.
It is just so unfathomable that, just two hours before BK breached their slider, the five roommates, the one guest and the one dog were all very much alive but also AWAKE.
BK was still at his apartment, no doubt gathering his kill kit and taking active steps to mitigate transfer...

While he probably showered, shaved, dressed -- all with ghastly intent. Sharpened his kbar. Checked the scanner, to monitor the police presence in his apartment complex. All systems go.
The convergence chills me.
1122 King Road embodied the college experience, that microcosm of real life that should have become, over the span of decades, a delightful kaleidoscope of memories, the same mental montage so many of us have, when we reflect on that plump epoch of our pasts. Instead he murdered that. Murdered four college kids, living the college dream.
Evil.
