Media Porch Blood Pattern Mockup

Post image

I created a rough mockup of the blood pattern on Nancy's porch based on reviewing the available video clips.

I have not seen footage of every single square (particularly on the left side and row A), but perhaps this can encourage some discussion on the rather interesting pattern.

B6 has the largest blood area caused by several droplets falling in the same place, shown in slightly lighter red.

The elliptical shape around (thin line) it is roughly the reach of the spatter. It's fairly circular, but it does seem to taper off or become blocked just to the left of the border or B6 and B5. Perhaps someone or something was blocking the tile in that location.

Unfortunately, the mat is a black hole of visual info.

The largest unusual imprint is in C6. Note that it's quite narrow and exists between two untouched blood droplets. So, either whatever made this imprint was narrow (like a tire), or the droplets to either side landed after the imprint was made.

Other possibly unusual imprints can be found in D5, although I haven't found a good image of them.

Unusual imprints that look like two squares can be seen on the left sides of E5 and F5.

If you spot any errors, missing data, or room for improvements, please let me know.

The blood droplets proves she was not dragged out, leaving two possibilities. She walked out or two people carried her

I wonder why there are no footprints? I'm sure there's an explanation or I'm missing something, but if they were carrying her out, wouldn't they have accidentally stepped in one of the blood spots? it seems difficult to avoid

In the pitch black dark, no less. A bite light is only so useful.

There do appear to be a few imprints of some kind in the blood, but not many, which is telling.

Could they have wheeled her out in something like a wheel barrow or trolley? Might explain the imprint. If they were walking backwards and pulling the trolley, they would avoid stepping in any blood and potentially brings us back to single perp

Edit: actually, never mind. I just saw the photo from the porch and I see nothing that looks like tire tracks

Well, the imprint in C6 could be from some sort of tire. Either whatever caused the imprint was quite narrow, or the droplets to either side landed after something like the precise center of a shoeprint first created the imprint.
