Things
Stuart would have had to accomplish in whatever window a person could find in
this timeline:
- Drive 18.5 miles ... at least twice
- Have an argument with Krystal
- Fight and struggle and stab her over 80 times
- Go through the crime scene and clean any traces of himself out of there among all the blood. Eradicate his fingerprints, sweat droplets, hair, epithelials … everything, leaving everyone else’s.
- Stop somewhere to remove and re-attach two enormous tool boxes out of the back of his truck, which usually takes several people to accomplish (because conflicting eye witness accounts had a tool box in the truck at one point, then reported no tool box)
- Clean every trace of the murder out from under his fingernails.
- Clean every trace of the murder out of his truck.
- Clean every trace of the murder out of his clothing.
- Heal his hands of all the cuts he should have sustained.
- Waltz calmly into his wife’s work with no appearance that anything was amiss around the time Krystal’s brother was discovering her body.
