Martha stages Nat’s murder to frame Wicks

The framed pictures in Nat’s living room are smashed by Nat in his death throes, their glass shards and splintered frames scattering across the floor. Martha uses this chaos to her advantage, dragging Nat’s body past the wreckage to the bathtub. The broken pictures serve as environmental clues, suggesting a struggle and drawing investigators’ eyes away from the true nature of the crime. Their destruction is both a result of Nat’s desperation and a tool in Martha’s misdirection, adding to the illusion of a violent altercation.
