1. Giallo in Perugia

2. This is just a mini-presentation about a work-around to the locked door in the city wall for a possible perpetrator or perpetrators to get back into Perugia. It doesn’t really justify a presentation, just one of the last photos. Anyways, here goes. The situations presented here are related to ideas or event relationships which have arisen from the excellent multi-point-of- view, multi-timezone, and multi-cultural discussion resulting from Steve Huff’s True Crime Weblog on this tragedy: http://www.truecrimeweblog.com/.http://www.truecrimeweblog.com/ Any gentle humour or sarcasm which may be encountered in the presentation is first of all not meant by any means to trivialise the pain and suffering, and butal senseless murder that the victim experienced, nor to reduce her memory. (Since the victim has no means to reply to any comments herein or scenarios described in other presentations, and the repeated use of her name in this context would only further hurt anyone close to her, I refer to her simply as “the victim”.) Secondly, the humour or sarcasm is meant as a collective self-critique for all of us on all blogs who opine on the Giallo. I’m the first one to accept that any particular theory I have had at any given point in the investigation may have some or all elements subject to new or corrected facts (and that as the investigation and future trial(s) advance, there will surely be surprises for all). In the Giallo di Perugia, ALL scenarios are valid for discussion, none should be vetted. That is the value of the True Crime Weblog. As we go through the scenarios of what may have happened in the crime, with the objective to understand - not investigate -, the only moment which is truly important is the day when the evidence is presented, like in any other serious crime case. I can only hope that there will be one single ending, that justice is served to those responsible for each of the crimes which may be determined by the ILE. I am buoyed by the fact that the victim’s family has expressed confidence in the Italian justice system. - Kermit (7 March 2008) email: krmt123@gmail.com

3. The perpetrator comes wandering along through the trees and slopes of the Parco Sant’Angelo. Maybe he/she/they have tried going through the door in the city wall, only to find that it was locked at 19.30 h.

He/she/they are near the road, they cross to the other side to toss the phones into the ravine.

A car comes around the corner, the perpetrator is about to be illuminated like an escaped convict under a powerful searchlight. He/she/they duck into the cover of the trees which protect Sra. Elisabetta’s lawn... And they discover shelter.

There are a few fleeting minutes in which to think of a plan.

10. Door in city wall Rudy’s place (also – it seems – of 2 Spanish girls) Sra. Elisabetta’s house and lawn

11. Door in city wall Rudy’s place (also – it seems – of 2 Spanish girls) Sra. Elisabetta’s house and lawn Raffaele’s place

12. Door in city wall Rudy’s place (also – it seems – of 2 Spanish girls) Sra. Elisabetta’s house and lawn Raffaele’s place HOME.... WHERE’S HOME? Rudy lives about 20 seconds walking from the door in the wall. Raffaele lives about 40 seconds walking from the door in the wall. Amanda and RS both say that she basically has lived with him since the moment when she reached the most intense relationship of her life, at somepoint after meeting Raffaele 14 days before.

13. WAIT!! I have a plan! If the door in the wall is closed, well, let’s just walk a total of about 5 additional minutes (make sure there aren’t any cars coming to illuminate you) and stroll into town through the Porta Sperandio. As far as I am aware, it doesn’t close at night. Ready. Steady. GO!

14. Oops. Don’t blame me that we completely forgot about Porta Sperandio. Maybe 150 meters from Sra. Elisabetta’s place. Open 24 hours a day. I think

15. Porta Sperandio resolves any door-in-the-wall issues... if a walking trek (er, STAR-gazing-TREK) was a part of the Giallo (and not a car-toss!). However it doesn’t definitely define who left / forgot the mobile phones on Sra. Elisabetta’s lawn: HE or SHE or THEY. It does get the current suspects back to their respective homes or part-time abodes in a manner which avoids the human traffic on the lower part of Corso Garibaldi. However, if Rudy is the phone-dropper, there’s a minor problem (if we are to believe parts of his diary), and that is that he didn’t describe a return home through the backroads outside of the city walls, or the shadows within: Piazza Grimana and friend Alex were on his bloodied route home. I think there are still lots of questions unanswered about how the phones got to where they were.
