What happened to the "long shower" the killer supposedly took?
Dan Horowitz told numerous people that there was evidence at the scene that suggested Pam's killer took a long shower before leaving the scene. Dan's media friends reported this information which led to widespread speculation about how brazen Pam's killer must have been, to actually shower in the home. Apparently when police arrived at the scene at 6:00 PM there was still condensation that could be seen as a result of the long shower. When Scott's case went to trial all information concerning this alleged long shower was oddly absent.
What did Dan Horowitz see that prompted him to make the assertion of a long shower, and when did he see it? For now, the answer to those two questions remains a mystery, however, it begs the question-- was Scott's public defender made aware of this evidence? There is no room for Scott Dyleski to have taken a long shower in the prosecution's already too tight and speculative timeline.
Below are a few quotes from early news reports concerning the long shower. Any comments are welcome from anyone who may have insight into this perplexing issue. They can be sent to comments@justiceforscottdyleski.com.
Media reports that mentioned the “long shower”
Quote:
But I know this, Anderson. I went inside the crime scene with Daniel. There was a ton of blood. There was impact blood about as tall as me, four to five feet tall and you could see where police had really focused on the bathroom, Anderson. The perpetrator went and took a very long shower -- a long shower -- and they could determine that he had been in the shower for a great period of time. Police say covered the inside of the tub ...
COOPER: Wait a minute. This young man showered -- this young man showered after killing -- allegedly killing this woman?
GRACE: Yes. Yes, and that is why as I was formulating last night why I thought that cleared Horowitz. Reason? Because if the perpetrator showered how did blood get on the outside of the door? There were blood smears on the outside of the door. Clearly the door opened up when the attack went down and the door was open, getting Pamela's blood on the door. Then the door was shut, showered. He left. Source

Dyleski has pleaded not guilty to Vitale's murder. A judge will hear testimony this week from detectives, forensics investigators, and friends and family of the teen to determine if there is enough evidence to bring him to trial.
On Tuesday, investigators described what appeared to be a pitched struggle as Vitale fought her attacker, who allegedly carved a strange symbol onto her back, took a shower in her home and had a glass of water before leaving the scene. Source

GRACE: And to Dr. Robi Ludwig, we also know there at the scene, the alleged perpetrator slowed down long enough to drink a glass of water and take an extended shower after the attack. We also know that outside the shower -- Rosie (ph), if you could show that video of the trailer again, where Daniel and Pamela were living -- that there was still condensation on the outside of the trailer when cops finally got there. That`s how long this guy brazenly took a shower. OK, shrink him. Source

We also know, or I`ve learned from sources, that the perpetrator took quite the long shower inside the home.
I`m going go straight out to veteran trial lawyer Debra Opri. Debra, how will it play? If this goes on trial, this guy has been arrested, clearly not convicted yet. But if this goes to trial and this jury learns he stuck around and took a nice, long shower?
In fact, my information is that the shower was so long, when cops finally got there that evening around 6:00 p.m., there was still condensation on the outside of the trailer, on the outside of where the shower was. That`s how long the guy lathered up. Source

JANE-VELEZ-MITCHELL, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER: Well, as you know, Nancy, some dramatic, dramatic developments in this very, very sad case. As you mentioned, a 16-year-old boy arrested. He has not been formally charged, just arrested. His arraignment, formal charging, expected within the next 48 hours. Tonight, he sits in juvenile hall. Because he is a minor, his name isn`t being released. There are a lot of rumors, lots of speculation floating out there. CNN has been able to confirm some of the details that have been publicly reported about this gruesome crime, and they`re so gruesome that it`s really difficult to even say.
The killer, according to police sources, bludgeoned Pamela Vitale to death 39 times -- hitting her 39 times in the head. Apparently, and quite possibly, the murder weapon, as you mentioned, a piece of crown molding. That was an item that was supposed to be used in the building of their dream house, which was under construction. And then some really chilling aspects. We are told by these police sources that this suspect then had a glass of water, then took a long shower, and perhaps the most awful aspect, may have actually, according to our sources, drew, carved a crucifix into Pamela Vitale`s back before walking away.
