It’s so disturbing to think about. And her daughter spending all that time in the house with only her baby brother. Horrific. The more I think about what we actually see in those photos, it really appears she tried to use the phone, someone ripped the receiver from the wall (broke the cord) and then she sunk down in despair (the blood there looks to be coming from below, perhaps fitting with the “botched abortion” theory). You can see where her hand touched the wall when she was down in that corner (if I’m remembering correctly). And I agree with you that she wouldn’t be doing all that sitting and lying down if an intruder had just launched a violent attack. Also, she appears to have freely gone in and out of the house (the blood on the car, etc.). I don’t think it’s a staged scene at all. It’s too randomly messy. I think it probably was a botched abortion. This was why she was fleeing and wandering around randomly, I think. She appears to have been free to leave, not controlled by anyone. I don’t think it was she who ripped the receiver from the wall. I think that was someone who panicked when she was going to call for help (exposing the abortion attempt). It’s such a sad thing to think about, the suffering she went through. If this is the correct scenario, she probably either bled out somewhere out of the way and just wasn’t found, or it was suicide or the person who assisted in the abortion found her later and killed her to hide the facts. I wish it was true that she just staged this (evil as that would have been to do to her family) but I don’t believe it at all. This was an ordinary day with ordinary activity and lots of people coming and going at her house. Nothing looks planned at all. But something horrible happened. If it wasn’t an abortion, then I’m guessing it was an assault by a lover that caused this damage. I don’t think she would have wandered around randomly avoiding help if it was a total stranger who did that. It appears she felt she couldn’t seek help for her grave injuries because of the nature of the situation. Something terribly compromising. That’s why I believe it was either a failed abortion or a lover who turned violent.
