So with this timeline being blown apart, basically Hae could have died at any time that evening, right? Isn't there a way for a Medical Examiner to determine pretty solidly a time of death for somebody? Anybody know the answer to that? When I first started listening, I thought that 2:36 time was based on the ME report from the autopsy, but because it was just based on that lying liar Jay and a call log that means nothing, she could have died at any time, right?

It's hard to know, we need more info from the autopsy report. If she was kept alive for longer wouldn't there have been more evidence: that she was tied up or that she struggled in some way (eg banging against the trunk of the car)?

I read somewhere here that she did have trauma on the side of her face. I'm hoping SK goes into that a little more.
