The message on the door

[time]

I have a 1/2" brush here.... using it dry, it seems the 18" space is doable with a stiff brush.

 

[lauriej]

Was there another, smaller brush used?

..the smaller brush is shown in this evidence pic----it doesn't appear to have any black paint on it.

Thank you lauriej. I knew it was there. Guess they didn't like that controversy so just took the picture down? Doors open, doors closed....who cares? What does that really matter? Overturned chair? Poo-poo. There is no boogie man here....go back to sleep. :slap: Don't worry, Officer Onefoot is taking good care of the crime scene. :doh:

:back:

All I have to say is: If I am ever killed in suspicious circumstances....DO NOT send these people to investigate my death. I would just love to have a few of these LEO for coffee and ask a few pointed questions....like this is the best you've got? Really? WTH? Thank you. that is all.

:floorlaugh: Great post I WnnaKnow!! And Stilettos, agreed! Please do not let them investigate any death within the circle of people I know and love.

Shouldn't the actual photo of the message on the door be a part of the case files that Anne Bremner will soon be receiving? If there isn't one, then that would make no sense at all.

Hmmm...

I'd be curious for a trial with a brush just like Rebecca used, the 1/2" one with the same Amsterdam paint. That paint is touted as having a thick consistency and is quick drying.

Is the paint on the larger brush dry? Stuck to the carpet?

Would that paint drip onto the carpet like in the pic you linked? I'm not sure I can see this as transfer from a foot or something, maybe from dropping the brush?

There's no type of palette used, so is there paint under that tube shown?

What was there explanation for the white plastic garbage bag being there and did they fingerprint it? Did they fingerprint the paint tube and brushes?
​

Like someone already said, plus, I believe ValHall talked about the paint on her body ... seems odd where the paint is at especially in comparison to the paint on the door and the one paint brush we can see has paint on it. I really don't see how that brush doesn't have any paint on the handle either as Val points out.

She’s right handed she’s slipping a noose over her neck, wrapping a t-shirt around that and accidentally brushes her right hand against her left breast leaving the black paint mark near her left nipple. The autopsy report states she had black paint on her right hand (ring fingernail, BASE of index finger, and a large area, 2 x 1 inch, at the base of her right thumb – which, if you look at the paintbrush, I’d like you to explain why an artist would get all this paint all over her. The crime scene photograph of the big paintbrush used to write the message does not show a big blobby mess of paint all over the handle of the brush.)

Val goes on to point out more (minor paraphrasing):

• Paint near the right nipple area
• No paint on the left hand, paint on right hand
• No black paint on the ankle bindings or the ligature
• Paint on the middle binding of the wrist bindings, on the left wrist
• Paint on the 22 inch segment of the rope that extends from the knot of the ligature around her neck.
• No paint on the tshirt

Yeah, how do you get 2 x 1 inch area of paint on you with a 1/2 brush?

Val goes on to ask "And how did she put the ligature around her neck and not get any paint on it, but end up getting it on the “knot tail”? Could it be that the paint on the knot tail was transferred to the tail when it brushed against Rebecca’s right hand after she was bound?"

I'd like to see pictures of all the paint on Rebecca and the rope, especially to rule out that something wasn't missing from the crime scene and to see how the paint was deposited on her (swipe, drop, brush, etc.).

Maybe some of you have already talked about this, but is the red rope in this picture connected to something?

I think the rope is going out to the balcony. It almost appears to be attached to the door knob, but a zoom in reveals this.

 

[lauriej]

..you can also see the rope attached to the bed going out toward the balcony in this pic....with the door showing in the right side of the pic.

Thanks ... I'm having a difficult time placing the furniture in that room in regard to the balcony door. There are shutters on the window and the rope looked like it went toward the window to me. I do see the shutter in the first pic goes all the way to the floor - I guess the balcony doors have a shade behind the shutter.

..there's a diagram of the room in this one:

And another thing- why are all the pictures released such extreme closeups? A broader view of that bedroom, etc, would be much more meaningful.

Oh, doh! I should not be posting today. I've looked right at the page that over and over and never checked it.

Yes! And, the room itself is odd dimensions ~ 9 x18.5'. I don't think anyone could pick a longer distance to run a rope out of a room and over the edge of a balcony than that unless it was from the neighbors house! I know this has been discussed probably ad nauseam, but hanging yourself from an object that takes 14+ feet of rope just to get to the edge of the balcony is ridiculous.

Plus, it's difficult to put the balcony rope, footprints and angle of the rope from the bed into one picture.

The rope going over the edge of the balcony in the pictures has been moved significantly to the right (when looking from inside) by the SDSO. I can't see this any other way because there is no dust displaced under the rope as it is showing. We never see the original placement going from inside the house to the balcony edge.

If you jumped over that balcony at the angle/diagonal SDSO shows, I'd think the pull on the rope would naturally be towards the right (again looking from the inside) and would scrape off the dust. They didn't claim this though as far as I know.

I'm hoping the attorney gets all the evidence including photos s

Does anyone think that this room was chosen so that AS would be the one to find her?

He would have been the one to find her regardless, since nobody else was there.

 

[Cuoco7]

He would have been the one to find her regardless, since nobody else was there.

If she did this in the main house, possibly not. He would have left that morning for his coffee with no reason to enter house. I believe that room, whoever is responsible, was chosen on purpose.

I believe he was going to get his coffee from the main house. Furthermore RN was driving him around. How was he going to leave without her?

Maybe Rebecca's family is entitled to Jonah's door since they proclaimed her death a suicide...

http://law.onecle.com/california/government/27464.html

Whenever the death of any person shall have been referred to
the coroner for investigation, there shall be delivered to the
coroner any note, letter or other document apparently written by the
deceased which may tend to indicate an intention by the writer to
take the writer's life, including directions for disposition of
property or disposal of remains. A facsimile copy thereof shall be
placed in the coroner's records, and, if an inquest be held, a true
copy shall be read into the record and transcribed into the notes of
the official stenographer. Upon completion of legal proceedings
arising from such death, the original instrument shall be delivered
by the coroner to the addressee or to the legal representative of the
estate of the decedent; provided, however, that if the instrument
purports to be testamentary in nature, it shall be filed with the
clerk of the court as provided by law.
