How many roses to cover an abyss #8: Clothes (Two)



(By Maria Letizia Cerica)

If you look at the photographs of his body in front of the elevator — the photographs taken by the forensic team — you can see the same clothes he was wearing the day before, as confirmed by Kirk as well.

So he didn’t go to sleep after going back upstairs? There would be nothing strange about that: Prince spent almost the entire night awake. He always had. In the Green Room, the covers of the bed are pushed to one side, however, and inside the fold of one of the sheets there is a Watson 853 pill. It must have slipped from his hand at some point.

Had he gone to bed fully dressed?

There are two strange details, however. The first is that part of the clothes he was wearing are inside out. Reversed. Why? Did Prince get dressed incorrectly after the appointment? It’s possible — he was very, very agitated that evening. Or did someone try to dress him hastily, after finding him half-naked and unconscious the following morning, before placing him inside the elevator?

The second detail. The photographs clearly show that Prince, at the time the police carry out their examination, is not wearing shoes. The police reports on his clothing make no mention of shoes. And yet this is a very strange detail. I have already discussed it in my previous work on him.

Prince always wore heeled shoes. Or platforms. At least four inches. The hem of his trousers was tailored to these measurements. Walking barefoot with trousers that are too long, however, is genuinely difficult. Why go into an elevator without shoes? To do what?

Something about: Prince: He’s Back!

Image
  The story told in Prince: He’s Back! is a story of love and mutual healing. It is set between Italy, around Lake Bolsena, and Minnesota, in Minneapolis. There are two protagonists: Skip (aka Prince Rogers Nelson) and Shara. Skip is the nickname Prince’s mother, Mattie, gave him as a child. Shara’s name does not come right away. She does not tell us what her name is. Her name is given to her by Skip and derives from Scheherazade, because throughout the story he often asks her to read books to him and tell him stories. And so: Shara.

How many roses to cover an abyss #10 Survey 1, detective A

(By Maria Letizia Cerica) ( Investigative Reports, pp. 33-34-35-36-37-38) April 21 2016 In this account, we will very often be moving alongside the investigators. We will follow what they wrote in their reports after carrying out inspections at Paisley Park. This is the best way to get a clear picture of events, without chasing after fanciful reconstructions that are almost always unfounded. At times, the reports I will be analyzing will resemble one another — for example, each detective explains the reason for the call they received and their time of arrival, then describes what they did, saw, or learned. Sometimes, therefore, the accounts are similar to one another, but very often different details emerge, because those descriptions come from different sets of eyes — eyes that may be moving through the same environment, but speaking to different people, and from which different situations consequently emerge. The reports are very similar to one another, but they are not identical. It...
