Discovery Of Meredith Kercher's Body And Scene Details
- Amanda Knox and roommates discover Meredith Kercher's ransacked flat, locked bedroom, and blood evidence when police kick down the door minutes after Amanda called about a break-in.
- Investigators found Meredith's body under a duvet with stab wounds, blood spatter throughout the room, three bloody shoe prints and one bloody bare footprint, and towels under the body.
Rudy Guede's Skype Account And Capture
- During a Skype call from police via a friend, Rudy described being with Meredith the night before and claims he grabbed the attacker's hand and sustained non-bleeding wounds, then fled in fear of being blamed.
- Police used the call and other evidence to issue an international warrant; Rudy was stopped trying to board a train in Germany and later extradited to Italy.
Media Made Amanda Knox The Face Of The Case
- The case focus quickly shifted from Meredith Kercher to Amanda Knox in global media, overshadowing the actual perpetrator even after courts identified and convicted Rudy Guede.
- Amanda remained the public symbol of the case despite being exonerated by Italy's highest court in 2015 and heavy criticism of the investigation.
