Thank you, Jennifer, for pointing out to me that I have been, erroneously, using "the choking game" and erotic asphyxiation interchangeably. There is a difference. The objective of the choking game is to get "high" without drugs. And the objective of EA is to intensify an organism.Jennifer said:I haven't posted anything on websleuths since the Laci Peterson case, but this is an interesting theory. I've never really thought Burke did it, but... What if it wasn't EA that Burke was trying to mimick, but instead just the "choking game" that over the last few years has been in the news several times because of causing the death of young children. Maybe he and JonBenet were playing, and she passed out, but he couldn't get the rope off her neck.
If this happened, she could have even still been alive. Maybe John or Patsy found out at this point, and realized she would be "neurologically devastated" from the oxygen depravation, and decided they couldn't have their beauty queen be a vegetable, especially with Patsy's precarious health, so they either finished choking JonBenet to death or hit her over the head and placed the garrote to make it appear a child molester was responsible. The rest was a jumbled mix of staging based on their thought patterns of staging what kind of person would do this, including the ransom note to stall the police, and give them time to get friends over, contaminate the crime scene, move Burke out of the house,etc.
In this case, it seems to me that there is a sexual objective - either molestation, masturbation, or experimentation -- because of the presence of pieces of the paint brush handle. That's what's so confusing about this. The victim appears to have died during EA, which is sexual in nature. But could such young children understand the complexities of breathe control and organism? I think not. I think Burke saw adults doing this; had no idea about the objective of EA, and was simply "acting out" the physical activity. And he simply choked her to death. He didn't know when to stop. He hadn't the concept that she could die. My opinion is that he had seen this done before; nobody got hurt, they seemed to enjoy it; he wanted to be like the grownups.
I can't explain the bash on the head. Perhaps she convulsed, and he hit her on the head to make her stop. I don't hold with the theories that her head injury could have been done by falling, or hitting a wall. It looks to me like something small and rectangular-shaped, bashed in her skull. Like a golf club -- but I don't know if a golf club would be substantial enough to cause the damage. It seems like a baseball bat would have made a bigger indention.
Your scenario is a possibility. But personally I don't think either parent could have killed their daughter, even if it were a mercy killing, as you suggest.
In my opinion, these parents would have opted to do whatever they could to save the life of their daughter -- so I am sticking to my theory that JonBenet was already dead when her parents found her (the first time--in the middle of the night). Then they started the cover-up.
