I'm intrigued by the notion of TA being at gunpoint during the shower photos. The last photo of him sitting in the shower puts his head in the perfect position for JA to shoot him in the head, just above the right eyebrow with the bullet lodging in the cheek.
She even acted out taking the photos during one of the taped interviews with Detective Flores where Jodi showed that she was squatting for some of the photos.
She would want the entire crime scene to be contained within the shower. But things did not go according to her plans.
I can imagine that after the shot (25 caliber cartridge casing ejected to land beneath the closet door), TA fell over to the left in the shower (water still running). Thinking her work was done, she then turned to put the gun in her purse and prepare to leave when he suddenly started struggling to stand within maybe 15 seconds of getting shot.
Travis gets up and stands over the sink, coughing up blood and bleeding from the nose and mouth, dazed and confused, with his ears ringing from the shot.
Jody grabs her knife and rushes to start stabbing at Travis, thinking that it seems so quick and easy in the movies. Travis staggers and turns toward her, grabbing at the blade as she plunges it into his heart.
Warm spurting blood lubricates the knife, cutting the fingers on Jodi's left hand as she continues to repeatedly stab at Travis' moving target torso as he makes an attempt to escape the attack and head towards the bedroom where he might get to the phone and call for help, but Jodi jumps onto his rapidly weakening body. "Why?? You said you love me!! This must be a dream!??"
Together, they both fall to the floor as she pulls up his head and makes a desperate and deep slash across his neck, severing his windpipe, jugular veins and carotid arteries, with the blade stopped only by his spine.
Bleeding out in one final huge gush onto the bedroom carpet, TA finally succumbs and stops moving.
All of this transpired in a mere minute of time. Sixty seconds. Yet it seemed to Jodi to last a lifetime. For Travis, it did.
The camera is bumped in the confusion and the shutter releases and captures the gruesome scene. Could this photo be the work of Travis from the "other side" pointing an accusing finger at his assailant? Could this photo be the work if his God? Jodi's recently discovered God?
In Jodi's panic to recreate her ideal crime scene -- the one she had dreamed of during the long drive from Yreka to Mesa -- she struggles to get Travis' body back into the shower. Her mind is racing as she ignores the myriad of evidence she is leaving everywhere. The shell casing gets accidentally kicked onto a blood pool just beneath the door, where it will sit for another five days, waiting to tell its part in the story.
