The original released photo of the closeup of the shoe timed at 12:03:57 has always been described as showing the dancers by the door/leaving, with Crystal's right shoe visible. Done to show that she'd left her shoe behind when she left the living room.

We can now see that the photo from which that closeup was taken, does not show the dancers by the door, but shows Kim bending over Crystal laying on the floor.
A different photo shows the dancers by the door. We can tell this by matching up the close up with the photos.
So, either the time stamp is wrong on that close up, or the close up is mislabeled.
Since the superimposed time stamps were put on by NBC, the superimposed time stamp on the photo is probably wrong.
The actual time stamp of the photo is not affected by this. It's only the time stamp that was pasted onto the photo by the media that is in question.
Photo that the shoe closeup was taken from. It does not show dancers near the door or leaving.

Photo that does show the dancers near the door and leaving, and from which the shoe closeup can't have been taken.

It does not mean much except for the possibility that the photo of the strippers leaving the living room was actually taken a bit later, narrowing the timeline a bit more.
Thanks for the explanation, ltc.
I thought Crystal arrived with one shoe off.
I've wondered if her shoe came off and she got that cut on her foot from falling out of the car that dropped her off, then just went in with one shoe on, one off.
