Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek LaVaser.

So we're diving into part three of the Meredith Kircher Amanda Knox case and I will kind of give

you a quick update of where we are so far. To summarize really quickly what we talked about

in the last two parts, so on the evening of November 1st, 2007, 21-year-old British exchange student

Meredith Kircher spent time with friends watching a movie before returning to the Perugia

village she shared with three other young women. By the afternoon of November 2nd,

Meredith had been found brutally murdered inside her locked bedroom. Italian police would soon come to

believe that more than just one person was involved in that the people closest to Meredith

were not just witnesses,

but suspects. Detectives began focusing on Meredith's roommate, Amanda Knox, and her new boyfriend,

Rafael Solicito. In the days that followed Meredith's murder, the couple spoke with investigators

repeatedly, retracing their steps and answering questions, believing they were helping police understand what had happened.

But by November 5th, detectives had grown increasingly suspicious.

And they asked Raphael to come to the police station for more questioning by himself, alone.

But then Amanda went with him because she was too scared to stay at his flat alone.

That's why she said she went

with him, not to watch him, not to make sure he didn't say anything that you shouldn't have, because she didn't want to stay at his flat alone. And neither of them realized that by morning, they would be under arrest. So this is where we're picking up, And this is where it kind of gets confusing.

And the waters get very muddy.

And I can't wait to hear your take on this because I know you're not familiar with this. But I did give a little spoiler, a little hint. You did give a little sneak peek. That they're going to kind of say things to the police that later they're going to be like, I don't know why I said that. There's definitely, I mean, my big takeaways from last part and the last two parts, I guess,

are to me, the robbery was definitely staged.

I don't think there's any truth to that. I think whoever's involved set that up after the fact.

I think there's a familiarity and a comfortability with that area at that time in that particular apartment where the perpetrator would not only know the layout of an apartment and where each person lived in that apartment, but also comfortability from the fact of knowing they could do whatever they need to do, like staging the scene after the fact without worrying about someone coming home.
