Investigators found no blood on the bottoms of their feet, indicating neither woman stood after suffering fatal injuries.
Chapin was found on the bed in Kernodle’s second-floor bedroom, partially covered by bedding, and he also showed no blood on the bottoms of his socks.
Kernodle, however, was found on the floor of her bedroom and was the only victim with evidence of movement after the attack. According to investigators, blood was present on the bottoms of her bare feet, showing she stepped in blood and moved around inside her room during the attack.
