When I was searching for the leaf photos I spotted something interesting in a photo taken of the walkway by the kitchen.
Some people think that is is possible Meredith had a brief confrontation with Rudy in the kitchen and then ran into the bedroom. One indicator is Rudy's self serving explanation of being confronted by a man with a knife when he came out of the second bathroom with his pants down. Was the 'man' actually Meredith? Did she use a kitchen knife to cause the cuts on his hand and then run back to her bedroom? Was this the reason for Guede's apparent rage?
The main argument against that hypothesis is that nothing appeared disturbed in the kitchen, in particular the clothes drying rack in the walkway.
Before he left, Rudy locked Meredith's bedroom door, which implies he wanted to delay discovery of his crime. In order to delay discovery he had to also make the remainder of the cottage look more or less normal. That would require cleaning up any obvious signs of a confrontation outside of Meredith's bedroom.
Dan recently explained how Rudy's footprints indicate that after the murder he stopped in the hall area near the kitchen to do something. What did he do?
So ....., back to the photo. I noticed in one of the kitchen photos , that under the heat radiator near the kitchen area there is a typical white clothes peg, and another red and white spring clamp that looks like some form of clothes peg. Is this evidence that the clothes drying rack was knocked over sending those clothes pegs across the room until they hit the wall and stopped under the radiator? It does not seem to be a natural place for two clothes pegs to be. Did Rudy stop to pick up the clothes drying rack on his way out?
