Is there another Hoffman report mentioning Andy left the scene "slowly and quietly" that I am forgetting about?

Was about to ask the same thing. I suppose he's referring to Meyring and Lindemann stopping Andy's car (was it obvious or very likely that he would have come from the crime scene, by the way? Or would they have stopped any car under the circumstances?) - but there's no mention of "slowly and quietly".

And the latter is the key point, I suppose, if Z, or rather the letter writer who invented him, was to have used a phrase from the report.

For my money it looks like Andy and his girl might have gone to the parking lot (for romantic purposes or whatever the case may be), then stumbled over a murder scene and then fled - not wanting to get mixed up in anything. Andy was a bit of a wild character, wasn't he? Probably figured it was best to stay clear of the cops if it could be helped.
