When Amanda Know returned home the next morning, she told police that she discovered drops of blood in the bathroom that she shared with Meredith. Upon checking Meredith’s door, she found it locked and assumed she was sleeping. Thinking one of the girls must’ve had “menstrual issues” Knox thought nothing of it and decided take a shower in the bloodstained bathroom — one of many decisions that would come back to bite her.

When she had finished, she went back to her boyfriend’s apartment, later returning with Sollecito to the house. The pair noticed a broken window in another roommates room, and after becoming alarmed that Meredith wasn’t answering her door, they eventually called the police.
