Then he went in the bathroom where he cleaned up. He removed his right shoe and rinsed it under the bidet, leaving a streak of blood around the drain of the bidet and drops of blood on the side of the basin. While his shoe was off, he made a footprint on the bathmat with diluted blood or bloody water.
He put his shoe back on and returned to Meredith's room, where he removed the quilt from her bed and threw it over her body. Then he sat on the bed with the bloody knife at his side while he went through her purse. He tossed a receipt from a movie theater on top of the quilt. He took her money and her cell phones. Then he exited the room, stepping in blood just before he did so, and thus leaving a trail of bloody shoe prints that starts in her room, extends into the corridor, shows where he stood when he locked the door behind him, and then runs down the corridor toward the exit, with each successive shoe print becoming fainter.
That's it. The rest is fantasy. There was no sex game, no staging, no cleanup except Guede cleaning himself in the bathroom. This was a sexual homicide which, like the overwhelming majority of similar crimes, was committed by a disturbed young man acting alone.
