After LeWay parked his car and immediately got out, he scaled the fence that surrounded the home and made entry into the backyard.
He then found Celeste's bedroom window, smashing the glass with a hammer to make entry.
Within about two minutes, he manages to stab Celeste 23 times before running out of the room and sprinting back to his car.
According to the CCTV footage on the street they lived in, Loewe was only out of his car for a total of 2 minutes and 39 seconds.
Immediately after the attack, Loewe drove himself to the Mernda police station, still covered in blood from the attack.
As he is about to enter the station, he is stopped by two police officers.
He mentions Celeste and gives them her address and says to them, you know what happened, it's your fault.
Of course, LeWay was immediately apprehended and taken into police custody while police responded to the scene of where Celeste was brutally murdered.
In his first interview with police, LeWay showed absolutely no remorse.
In fact, he pushed the blame off of himself and instead blamed everyone around him.
He complained of the unfair and unjust treatment of him by Celeste and how she treated him like a criminal, how police treated him like a criminal.
He admitted to driving past her house and entering the bedroom, but he said that when he went inside, he had an altercation with someone, but wasn't sure who because the room was too dark for him to see.
acting as if he had no idea that it was Celeste and that he wasn't actually targeting her.
After the initial interview, police started their investigation into what happened in the hours and days leading to the murder and what they found made the whole situation just that much more disturbing.
After being taken into custody, Loewe was examined by forensic psychiatrists and I will get more into that in just a minute.
But like I mentioned earlier, after sending that letter to Celeste asking her to drop the charges, the messages to her stopped.
Celeste and Aggie were relieved and thought that the whole thing was over.
However, Laway would later tell psychiatrists that during that time, he was actually researching how he would murder Celeste.
During that period of silence, Laway was busy researching any and all photos Celeste posted to social media to find out her address.
He used Google Maps and eventually found her home.
