    it’s also plausible that, if it were a murder and not a suicide, everything was prepared the day before but they couldn’t go on time and had to wait a day.

    there are a lot of possibilities. certainly a critical error is one of them. but if we’re going to talk about plausible explanations that isn’t the only one

      Why though. Why would you prepare the document the day before? Why do you need to have it “ready to go”? There’s literally no logical reason to premake such a document. It doesn’t benefit the murder plan at all.

          No, I didn’t.

          This is akin to calling the police for the murder of your spouse BEFORE you commit the murder. There’s literally no good reason not to wait until after.

          Please, name me a logical reason why, before you commit the act, during the planning stage, or even when you are moments from planning to execute the plan, you would call someone entirely unrelated to prepare a document about what you are going to do, instead of calling them AFTER.

            Oh now I see what you’re saying. I agree, there isn’t a good reason for it. The only thing I can think of is that the admin is incompetent.

        It absolutely 100% does make sense to do that.

        It is called crafting a cover story.

        Have you ever done something for one reason, but told people you did it for another reason?

        Have you ever been in a scenario where you were considering whether or not you would do something like that, but realized you would need a convincing false narrative for other people first, before you considered actually doing the thing?

        It very much benefits a group of people or an organization that is doing something like this, to get all their stories straight, before they proceed.

        If your cover story works properly…

        … no one will ever know, or at least not untill so much time has passed as to make being caught not really matter any more.

        … This is just the logic of how all kinds of people and organizations who need to maintain one kind of outward public image or reputation, while actually doing things that do not match their outward appearance, how they act.
