Investigators say they have recovered surveillance camera footage from cameras overlooking the street by the apartment that show Knox entering the house at 8:45 p.m.
Sollecito also claims to have been with Knox on the night of the murder, but says he cannot remember if she spent the night.
On November 20, police freed Patrick Diya Lumumba, based on a lack of evidence connecting him to the murder.
As the paperwork to release Lumumba was being filed in the Civil and Penal Tribunal of Perugia, police in Germany detained Guede in Mainz, after detectives in Perugia issued an international warrant for his arrest.

According to police, the search for Guede came after they discovered bloody fingerprints on Meredith's pillow and on toilet paper in the house that did not match Knox or Sollecito. Police also claim genetic samples taken from Guede's possessions matched fluids taken from Meredith's body, proving he had sex with her on the night of the murder.
"Rudy was present; he was there, but he denies having ever committed acts of sexual violence against Meredith, and it wasn't he who killed her," Guede's lawyer, Walter Biscotti, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview last month.
"He saw the assassin; he knows he's Italian... He found himself in a totally desperate situation, with Meredith in his arms dying... External circumstances made him flee immediately," Biscotti said.
