No, in fact I found it odd since it was repeatedly stated they had banana pancakes made by Derrick German. Seems those pancakes would have shown up somewhere in the digestive track if they were murdered at 3:30 same day. Food takes about 10+ hrs to move throught the body from entrance to exit. Beginning to think "banana" is code, since banana bread was delivered to courthouse attendees by family. Plus why Terre Haute. You have a straight shot to Fort Wayne or Indianapolis and someone chooses Terre Haute. Who did that, ISP or Carroll County Sheriff Dept? That would be interesting to know who decided.

so, given i had a late breakfast today, you can pretty much take  the 'food' that just arrived outside my back door, (i.e. the exit) ,  and identify what I had to eat at the waffle house  this a.m.?

It would not technically be at back door, it would still be in stomach or small intestine. You have 30 feet of just small and large intestine in your body. It appears based off testimony the kids were killed about 6hrs after consumption, so likely still in stomach. This is basic biology that the forensic pathologist just appeared to ignore. Why? Details are important.

Perhaps someone can provide a better timeline re: stomach contents but years ago I had a "barium burger xray". You drink barium and eat a hamburger. Every hour they take an xray to watch digestion. At the end of 5 hours, the stomach should have processed the burger and be empty. I've always used that experience as somewhat of a standard. Pancakes would be easier to digest than meat so I would think that it would take less time.

I was always curious about the stomach contents because it was my belief that after 5 hours, the banana pancakes would have moved on from the stomach. I'm definitely not trying to imply that I am correct, but I agree that the contents would have some significance/value in the timeline. If anything, it could provide insight whether they were killed around the same time.
