She's arriving Tuesday". (Nov 6). Amanda would have told Raffaele, Filomena, Laura, et al. She would have told the police too if they inquired how she was doing, how she was sleeping, was she eating OK?, etc. That is in addition to police-monitored phone conversations or emails with her mom.

Yes. I think it's very likely that the issue of Knox's mother's arrival in Perugia would have come up in Knox's police interviews on the 3rd and/or the 4th (and failing that, police interviews with other friends/acquaintances of Knox who would also have known this information). Knox herself might of course remember whether or not this was the case.

And I really do think that once the police (and PM) realised that Knox's mother was arriving, they quickly reasoned that she (mother) might well have the persuasive abilities and the authority over Knox to get her on an aircraft back to Seattle post haste. And since the police now had Knox firmly in their crosshairs as a prime suspect, this was a development that they were not willing to risk happening. Hence the quickly-concocted plan to "break" Knox (by way of "breaking" Sollecito first) on the night of 5th/6th, in order that they'd have sufficient grounds to arrest her and detain her in custody by the time her mother even arrived in Perugia. That way, there was no chance whatsoever (counting on a pliant arraignment judge, of course......) that Knox would ever be able to leave Perugia before she "faced justice".
