There seems to be some confusion about this so I went back and checked the screenplay linked above:
ROOM INSIDE
The door finishes creaking open. Sheriff Bell is a silhouette in the
doorway.
A still beat.
At length Sheriff Bell ducks under the chest-high police tape to enter.
The worn carpet has a large stain that glistens near the door. Sheriff
Bell steps over it, advancing slowly. The room is dimly lit shapes.
There is a bathroom door in the depth of the room. Sheriff Bell advan-
ced toward it. He stops in front of it.
He toes the door. It creaks slowly open.
The bathroom, with no spill light from outside, is pitch black.
Sheriff Bell reaches slowly up with one hand. He gropes at the inside
wall.
The light goes on: bright. White tile. Sheriff Bell squints. A beat.
He takes a step in.
He looks at the small window.
He looks at the window's swivel-catch, locked.
