The very first pair of investigative blunders, made early afternoon, Nov 2, 2007. These were real boners:
1. Thinking the break-in had to have been staged because they couldn't imagine anyone climbing up to Filomena's window. They didn't even test their hypothesis. (Years' later an Italian TV program duplicated the climb.)


2. Being unable to imagine the "condition" of the cottage that Knox had seen in that morning, that was enough to raise some sort of alarm (calls to roommates, to Seattle, to Raffaele's then-Carabinieri sister) but with nothing which said "murder", because the victim's door was locked.

Other than the postal police, every other investigator first saw an obvious murder scene. (Not even the postal police suspected murder, even refusing to bust down the door.)
The "investigative amnesia" started right from the beginning.

Then Mignini ordered body temperature NOT be taken, thus clouding investigation of time-of-death.

Then - video shows Stefanoni at the scene being suspicious of the presumed semen stain under the victim's hips; then somewhere down the line did not test it to either verify or ID the man who'd left it.

As an aside, the stupidest on-line comment was one from a nutter who blamed "the defence" for all these failures.
