I, too, wonder about the fact that the HINO was the one to report this frightening puncture incident. We must also take into consideration a twisted hospital worker or even a nut walking into the hospital disguised as a health provider......or any number of scenarios which could bring harm to Terri.
Weirder things have happened in cases where emotions are deep, motives are dark, or where twisted strangers insinuate themselves into situations where they have no connection at all.

That was my first thought too. If Terri had no visitors between the time her parents left and the marks were found then it stands to reason the only people who could have done it was a nursing home worker. The only reasons for a worker to do such would be to implicate one or the other parties or was paid by one of the parties. One doesn't leave the crime scene in a shambles unless they were interupted in the deed or to bring attention to the deed. If Terri wasn't rumpled and scratched, then no one would have noticed a thing.
