I don't get it, the more I watch the entry, the more I wonder where the hell did Alex come from.

He just blatantly appeared out of nowhere with the gun from behind Jay, and shot him.

Where was Alex hiding? Was he even in Benedict Hall at the time?

At around 2:30 (when Jay is inside the darkroom), Jay hears footsteps coming from upstairs, which makes me think that Alex was outside Benedict Hall in that moment.

Alex enters Benedict Hall and realizes there's someone there, when Jay goes to look for whoever was making the noise, he sees nobody, but he doesn't check upstairs (maybe Alex was hiding there).

Then, Alex just waits till Jay turns his back, having no way to escape, and appears from behind him with the gun.

If all of this is true, then why was Alex outside? Was he in Benedict Hall in the first place? What/who was Tim running from?

Also, I saw someone (can't remember who) mentioning why Jay didn't see Tim enter Benedict Hall, I agree with the theory that Tim actually went to that basement in #79 to look for another way to get therel, how he managed to open the door from inside is beyond me though

those bloody handprints on the wall make sense if Alex cut himself free from being tied up with that x-acto knife, maybe he cut himself a bit while doing so.

Has anyone an explanation for why Tim returned to the basement at the end of this Entry?
And why might he have so easily deduce Jay's fate? He may have been searching for Jay, but a glance into every room would hardly have drawn his attention to the camera and a bloody handprint on the floor.

In his typed closing message, Tim says that he anticipated Jay to do something reckless. But could he have also predicted precisely what would happen?

I assumed he either heard the gun shot or saw Jay's car and knew he was there

[Marble Hornets]

Most likely answer is he went home and saw Jay wasn't there and figured he must have gone to the school.

Big problem is that if Tim uploaded entry 69, why wait to upload 70? If Jay uploaded 69, why would Tim come back days later and not right away, and if he came back right away that same day, why wait to post this video?

I think OOG times have to be ignored in this regard

Huh. Rewatching the entry, I wonder if Alex didn't set the camera down on top of the bloody handprint after turning it off. It looked like Tim turned it on as he's picking it up, and then says "No" when his flashlight illuminates the handprint. It would make more sense for him to see that and the camera and put two and two together than him watching the recording right there in the dark room and then restarting the camera in time to catch his reaction. It would also put yet another spin on "How do hands talk?"

To people asking how Tim could have gotten inside the building, or why Alex was outside, back on page 17 I posted a synopsis that answers all of those questions.

My only amendment to it so far is that I think Tim, after leaving Benedict Hall, went back down to the basement area and possibly opened and explored the manhole. I think this mainly because when we see Tim leave Benedict Hall, he doesn't run to his car, he runs in the opposite direction, back towards the basement area. He may not have even known that Jay had been there before he picked that camera up, and he had just come back later to investigate further.

As for the time reference, I believe 79 and 80 were only separated by a couple of hours at most, just long enough for Jay to "upload" 79, and maybe a little longer. I don't think we can take the OOG time between individual entries to heart.
