Uh, Craig? The sun's position at any given time of the day is going to be quite different depending on what season of the year you're in. Your shadows don't prove much about when the photo was taken without a definite idea where they'd fall in March at various times in the day. Not impossible to calculate those positions and angles without waiting another five months, but somehow I don't believe you put in the work to do so. The leaves are better proof, but in many places they won't have started coming back in March and might still have some lingering throughout the winter, especially if the weather was mild enough. Doesn't look like they've started changing colors, which would at least indicate that they weren't new spring growth - but October is early for serious color changes in some parts of the US anyway, with November being more of a peak leaf-viewing month. Good thing your criminals all confessed for you and were nice enough to inexplicably leave you the murder weapon.
For a guy that was willing to die in an explosion and kill a bunch of other people to avoid one murder rap that weasel it sure is strange he didn't just kill Craig earlier when he had the perfect chance to do so. He obviously wasn't worried about witnesses when he snuck up and coshed him with it, and if the noise of a shot was the concern, well, knives are a thing, and really you won't hear much if you just took Our Hero's hat and used it to muffle the noise by shooting through it either.

Muffle a shot with a Hat!?! Now that's funny! I bet you think you can 'silence' a Revolver also.
