CTKA's Review of the Girl on the Stairs

[Magda Hassan]

The rifle could have been there anytime, for days or weeks even. They really only had to get their man up there at the right time. ANd that might not have been too hard given all the renovations happening at the time.

I would think it would be difficult to smuggle a rifle in, no matter how long prior to the assination. Indeed the 6th floor was a maze of stacked boxes and one could easily conceal themselves and a rifle once up. As to the floor renovations, I thought the work was being done by TSBD workers. Were there outside contractors as well?. Also getting down afterwards poses a problem I think because the elevators were stuck on the 5th floor according to Truly, and the only stairs that led all the way down were the stairs Truly and Baker were ascending. Why didn't they ecounter a shooter?

There were 3 elevators. And the one that was 'stuck' may have contained the assassin not wanting any one to access the elevator. And as Phil says he/they may have gone up to the roof, then the fire escape, not down to the entrance.
