Solution
A Holey Secret
Well, Nova Noir said she ran through the foyer with the neighbour and unlocked the door to the kitchen, finding Aunt May. The doors and windows to her house were locked on the inside.
Had Aunt May committed suicide, she could not have locked the door leading to the kitchen from the outside. The murderer, in leaving, locked all the doors and forgot to remove the key from the foyer door.
A rookie mistake.
