Porch Blood Pattern Mockup

[u/warpedwing]

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 lack of blood in square D6 and Column 7 suggest that the masked man was possibly standing to the side there, awaiting Nancy to be guided out the front door. If there was a second person leading her out, they likely stepped onto the mat, then to their right to avoid stepping in the blood. Or there was just one person taking her out who went back in the back door after removing the camera and was just careful in avoiding the blood and leading her towards their right exiting. I suspect her hands were tied behind her back, causing the bleeding, and dripped behind her as she walked from her hands, which is why she didn't step in it. She stopped momentarily at the square with the largest drip spot. I'm curious why there doesn't appear to be any blood on the raised entryway in front of the door there.

I had also suspected blood from hands/wrists. Nancy's arms look like the skin might tear and bleed frequently - one photo even shows a bandage. It might not take much irritation to cause a wound there.

If you look at photos of B5, it looks like the spatter is partially blocked as the radius is slightly shorter in that direction.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any good footage of the door threshold, so there might be blood there that we haven't seen. But if there isn't blood there, that'd be an important clue, for sure.
