11:00 a.m. and 12:30

T.J. was wearing civvies
when he left the bakery,

707
00:33:09,228 --> 00:33:11,713

he must have changed

712
00:33:19,273 --> 00:33:22,069
then the fight With Amelia
picked up where it left off

713
00:33:22,069 --> 00:33:23,449
and then she killed him?

714
00:33:23,449 --> 00:33:26,418

hang T.J.'s body

715

her own stall?

is telling the truth,
