I am fairly sure that in most investigations, all of the knives would have been taken, and in both apartments.
They didn't have any interest in the knives at the cottage. Nor were they interested in identifying the unknown individuals who left their DNA on cigarette butts in the kitchen and on bloody bloody tissues found just outside the cottage. Probably these traces would have matched the Italian housemates, their boyfriends, or the downstairs tenants, but the authorities didn't obtain reference samples from any of those people. They weren't really conducting an investigation. They jumped to a conclusion before they knew the facts, the media ran with it, and they realized that if it didn't pan out, they'd look like fools. That was what drove every decision they made.
I find it interesting that so many otherwise intelligent people have fallen for the claptrap put out by these clowns.
"Amanda was carrying a bag very roomy as Romanelli stated (p. 51, Hearing 7.2.2009), in this stock could find a place the knife in question. Amanda in its various movements, such as going to the pub Le Chic located in Via Alessi, she could be alone in having to walk even late at night on roads that might not seem so safe to walk at night by a girl. E 'therefore possible and even likely given the relationship that Raffaele Sollecito had with knives (was inseparable from his boxcutter as we have seen) that Amanda has been advised and convinced by her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito precisely, to hold or carry this knife, if only to make her feel more secure and, if necessary, might well serve as a deterrent against possible attackers that night and he could meet alone."
Sure, that's the ticket. She was walking around town with a big kitchen knife in case she ran into an olive-throwing Albanian.
I wondered what had become of those tissues, there was even a photograph showing them wasn't there? Do you have proof they were only collected and never tested or were they tested and ruled out for some reason? Anyone?
As a purse carrying woman I cannot even remotely conceive of another woman walking around with a knife like that in her purse for protection, not to mention the damage it would possibly do to the inside of the bag or her fingers every time something was needed from the purse. Plus, it was Rafaelle's only good cooking knife so why would she take it? In my opinion this theory has no legs whatsoever. Why not just use one of Rafaelle’s smaller, collectable knives instead?
