If I understand correctly, usually CB would wake up the daughter and get her ready for the day. How did BB and JM arrange things so that CB would essentially still be in bed when Joe arrived?

They mentioned BB convinced CB to change her schedule and have the day off bc it was his birthday. She was able to sleep in that day bc the nanny “was taking the child for a group outing at the zoo” they said Joe was scheduled to arrive at 7:30 am.

There's a theory he drugged her. Because what if she decided to pee or make breakfast?

That makes more sense to me than for CB to have been able to stay asleep with the activity of the other three people in the house getting ready and leaving.

If he drugged her the would be toxicology evidence to that effect.

No.

If the protection is desperate enough to bring up triple pane windows, Brendan might not get convinced for murdering his wife.

It doesn’t seem like there’s any evidence for this because surely the prosecution would have used it. I know GHB can be difficult to detect in some circumstances, but it also feels like a really short timeline here. I think they would have caught that. This question has been part of the discussion since the beginning. It does seem crazy because based on Joe’s demeanor and expectations, he surely would have been thrown off if he walked in on someone in the kitchen making breakfast or getting ready to walk the dog, and would have wanted to have a conversation. I feel like turning off the phone and putting it in the kitchen drawer answers some of our questions with respect to Christine not attempting to call 911 - she never had the opportunity.

As far as how he made sure she didn’t leave the room so she was in the condition Joe expected, that seems like somewhat of a risk they took. There’s a lot of room for human wildcard behavior in this plan but somehow he pulled it off, unfortunately. At least the murder part. The plan always involved staging the scene so I guess as long as Joe and Christine were both inside the house, he planned to work with that. Containing them both in the master bedroom would be best, but not strictly necessary I guess. They went in through the basement rather than the front door, I assume to have the opportunity to listen and make sure of where they were.

I wonder if Brendon told her to sleep in, and he would be back after making sure their daughter and Au Pair were off to the zoo. After all, it could’ve been continuation of celebrating his birthday.

If it were me, my husband could be 100% confident that if there wasn’t an alarm set, there is NFW I would be up at 7:30. One of the weirdest things to me about this case is that anyone would think it plausible that someone wanted an elaborate kinky sexual encounter at 7:30 in the morning.

Was there any evidence about what Joe was wearing when he was shot?

Yes, they showed his tee shirt with a bullet hole in the chest area.

I mean, I totally agree, but it sounded like she did usually get the child up even when she didn’t work because the child mentioned that. As a mother, I can definitely understand an opportunity to sleep in. But also, I can understand that if she usually got up, it was a bit risky to think that she definitely would stay in there or at least not go looking for her phone if she wanted to send a last minute text to the au pair so she could go back to sleep soundly, etc. But with it turned off and in a drawer that I assume she didn’t usually use, it would have taken awhile to find it imo. So maybe he figured being in the house was good enough.

Also, due to manner that Christine was killed, which would not have been easy to pull off without risking potentially suspicious injuries such as cuts on his hands. So I get why people have speculated about drugs. It seems like Juliana has been open enough at this point that she would have mentioned that detail though.

This did make me remember that the detective going through the scene photos mentioned that the laptop was open on the kitchen island from the pictures that day. Which is interesting. Hopefully that can also support that Christine was not the one communicating with Joe.

There is also the potential that BB did not tell JM every single detail to cover his tracks.

Things that are inconclusive to me:

- Why didn’t Juliana mention, like she did before, that CB was telling Brendan to leave her alone bc she was gonna die anyways?

- Wtf happened during that whole time that Brendan took to get home, go in through the basement, set up something on TV for the kid to watch, and go upstairs?

- Why was CB wearing glasses on her head at the time she got to the ME?

- No comments from anyone as to how they reacted afterwards seeing the au pair was still living in the house? I bet her agency director would be totally against her staying there. Whatever happened to that?

Was JM with an agency? I though she had advertised on Craigslist, Bambino, etc. Very confused about how she was sponsored here.

I think the glasses will come back to play with staging the bodies.
