Why pick Burke as your suspect, when surely there are clouds of suspicion over many other , far more sinister appearing, characters? Is it because you believe there were "no footprints in the snow"? Wasn't this the first LE lie that led us first to believe no one entered that house , leaving us with the "big three" to ponder as killers? So what did they do to get rid of the "other , older ,boy", slip him on a bike and tell him not to put his feet down until he cleared the area??..or could he have left by the cleared walkways as any other "intruder" could have left? Who left the shoe print? Wasn't there another ...a Sas..shoeprint found, along with more than one of the hi-tecs? Was there a "kneel" mark outside the grated window?
After the contacts of Jonbenet were dna tested , there continues to remain foreign dna under the nails of both of her hands and in her panties. DNA that has not been sourced. This is a significant finding!
Have we been following the news the last few years? Killers and molesters DO go into the homes of their victims and take them from their beds. Do they write ransom notes, not usually, however, this was Boulder where one's intellect is always in competition to out do another's. Games and winning..taking what you want, it seems very much "age four'ish", but is that not about the age where the sociopath stops "some level " of development?
I refer to it as the " MINE" time, something you try to get your three or four year old past, yet recognise that in some adults , Bundy, Duncan, and so many more , they never got "past" it.
sissi,
There's a lot of reasons to pick Burke as a suspect in the killing of JonBenet. Here's just a few of them:
o Burke has never been officially cleared by Boulder authorities, even though his surviving siblings (JAR and Melinda) have been.
o The Ramseys lied about Burke's whereabouts during the 911 call, obviously trying to distance him from the crime scene. Why lie during a murder investigation if you're innocent?
o The Ramseys also lied about Burke not owning Hi-Tec boots, the logo of which was imprinted in the mold on the wine cellar floor, one foot away from JonBenet's body.
o There was no intruder; there was no evidence of a break-in; and there were no footprints in the snow when the cops arrived at the scene at 6:00 A.M., meaning one of the three people still alive in the house that morning, but trapped in the house by the snow because of the footprints it would have left in the snow, had likely killed JonBenet.
o Handwriting experts could not eliminate Burke as the writer of the ransom note.
o The bowl of pineapple with Burke's fingerprints on it placed Burke downstairs in the middle of the night with JonBenet about one hour before she died. Other evidence also placed Burke at the breakfast room table with JonBenet at that time.
o John and Patsy have exculpatory evidence in their favor (DNA, handwriting, and lie detector), leaving Burke as the only one of three survivors in the house that night without clear exculpatory evidence.
o The autopsy revealed chronic injuries to the vagina that had to have been inflicted prior to the night of the murder; and these injuries were likely the result of digital or juvenile penile penetration and inflicted at the same 7 o'clock position as the acute injuries -- suggesting the same person caused the chronic and the acute injuries and therefore that person had to have had the opportunity to get to JonBenet on any day of the week, such as a family member.
o JonBenet's body was cleaned up and re-dressed in an attempt to disguise the sexual aspects of the crime, but the perp put size 12/14 panties on little petite size 6 JonBenet, something John and Patsy would have known better than to do, but a young boy likely wouldn't.
