Good point, Eva. I have also wondered how quick her response was to claiming that she did not know him. First, she was obviously not expecting someone to work on her gutters that late at night, so that would have been a surprise. And, if she reacted quickly in a startled manner, she might not have had time to clearly identify the man.

Likewise, if her answer came a minute or two later, then we can guess that she did recognize him and took a moment to compose herself and her answer - and thus lied. I would also like to know how quickly the other occupants of the house recognized Powell, if at all.
