Plot hole: The resolution of the case hinges on the fact that the culprit would be compelled by The Witness (whom they bribed, but who double-crossed them) to visit their stake-out apartment to try to dispose of their bloodied clothes. However, The Witness didn't and couldn't possibly know about that apartment. The murderer tried to prevent a non-existent threat that nobody made and did not worry at all about the other, very much more likely evidence and testimony The Witness provides - if The Witness was going to trick them to begin with, it makes no sense that they didn't just record the conversation, for once. The culprit does not even contemplate that possibility.

Answer: If it was ever found out that she was at Terry's house before he was killed, there's a possibility that a lot of people would have begun to suspect her of murdering Terry. By claiming that she wasn't, she was hoping that people wouldn't accuse her of the murder.
