Would you like to comment on how the shoe print/footprint evidence in and outside the room supports this "double trip" theory? Of course one of the pro guilt arguments is that there is insufficient evidence derivable from the prints even to get him into the bathroom once and the absence of evidence of him in the bathroom (sans the mat print) is also cited. Notwithstanding Guede's own statements, of course. I suppose a sceptic might say that there is a lack of physical evidence and that it is puzzling.
It's mostly that I haven't been able to squeeze all of the evidence into a single trip theory. The blood at "J" and the stripes on the wall show Rudy with two very bloody hands immediately after the stabing. There must be a cleanup trip before the body can be moved, the shirts pushed up, the bra ripped off, ... . The pillow shows a set of shoe prints that are incompatible with the prints going down the hall. And the bloody palm print on the pillow is incompatible with the blood on either hand seen on the bed or the wall.
My theory as it currently stands:
Rudy stabs Meredith where blood sprays on his right hand holding the knife and his left hand restraining Meredith. Rudy steps away and stands near the head of the bed while Meredith crawls from facing the wardrobe towards the radiator where she collapses. Rudy stands watching for perhaps 5 minutes placing his left hand on the wall at one point and then moves over and sits on the bed with the right hand still holding the knife leaving the mark at "J" as he sits. The mark on the wall behind the bed is probably created at this time as Rudy strikes the wall in anger with the bottom of his left fist creating an impact splatter. As Rudy is rotated, he drops the knife from his right hand, the point landing first and bouncing back creating the stain showing the double mark of the tip and the block of the hilt where it lands. Rudy stands up and opens the door with his right hand. The right index finger touches the poster on the door behind the handle. The hand slides off the handle and catches the door swinging open just below the latch.
Rudy washes his hands and returns to the bedroom with a towel. He straightens Meredith, probably removing her trowsers at this time. He pulls her head around pulling the jacket off and reversing the sleeves, He tries to lift her onto the pillow by grabing the bra band with one hand and under Meredith's right leg with the other. The bra rips apart with Meredith falling back to the floor leaving only the bra in Rudy's hand. In this process, Rudy steps in Meredith's blood with his left shoe which he tracks all over the pillow, has gotten more blood on one hand which left the identifying palm print and has gotten blood on the right pant leg.
Rudy slips off the left shoe and returns to the bathroom for the second cleaning. On the way he brushed the edge of the bathroom door with his pant leg leaving a drip of blood. Rudy slips off his right shoe and steps into the shower for the final cleaning. After rinsing the pant leg, Rudy steps out of the shower leaving the partial watery print on the mat. Rudy uses a towel to absorb the excess water on his pants and dry his foot then puts his shoes back on using the bidet as a foot stool where a few drips of watery blood fall.
Rudy returns to the murder room, grabs his knife, steps in more blood while backing towards the door then turns and walks briskly down the hall towards the front door leaving a trail of bloody shoe prints. He stops breifly at the kitchen table to grab his sweatshirt from the back of the chair which he tied around his waist then one more step towards the front door. But before putting full weight on that left foot he backs up, turns around and steps over to the couch. There he paces in place for 3 or 4 steps.
We cannot see the trail but it is presumed that Rudy then returned once more to Meredith's room to find her keys, took the cell phones and credit cards from her purse, scraping himself on the zipper leaving his DNA and locked Meridith's room on the way out. He then used the keys to unlock the front door and left.
