Detectives found that a nursing home employee checked on Smirnova and Kravtsov at 8:55 p.m. that night, where Kravtsov was seen sleeping in her bed. An hour later, the employee checked on the room again, where Kravtsov was still in her bed, but this time covered in blood "with gash marks about her face and head." Meanwhile, Smirnova was discovered washing her hands in the bathroom. Her shirt was covered in blood. The employee further noted that a wheelchair inside the room was missing its foot pedals. One pedal was found outside on the ground under a window. The other was on inside the room covered in blood.
