I'm more or less sitting at the side eating popcorn here, but even I know that the most rational scenario for this crime is that Rudy threw the rock some time around 8.30 or so. Broke window, making a bit of a noise. He lay low until it was clear there was nobody around who was going to come and see what the noise was about, then climbed in.
He picked up a few unconsidered trifles, stuff he could shove in his pockets to climb back down, and went to the toilet. It seems he had form in using toilets in the premises he burgled, and this is not such an uncommon trait in burglars as one might think. While he was in there, Meredith returned, which was about 9 o'clock. Rudy was not expecting that, having imagined that if party girls are out at 8.30 they are out for the night.
You can fill in the rest, but Meredith was dead by 9.30. Seems quite straightforward to me. Poor girl. And not LOL at all, really.
I'm quite surprised that someone who is so opinionated about the case hasn't figured out that much.

your "figuring" out this case is just repeating what absurd things Knox claims and placing all blame on the black guy no matter how illogical. there is no evidence he game in through that window and it's not logical that he would have accessed the cottage through that window. none of the window class ended up in the garden below which seems illogical, it looks like the window was broken from the inside, and the exterior shutters prevented any glass from falling down to the ground below.
