I'm not aware of any source for this. Steve Thomas theorized that the head blow occurred in JB's bathroom. I don't know of any investigator who countered that.
I'm fairly well-versed in the case and am not aware of a source for the pillow having come from any particular place in the house.
The underpants the body was found in were size 12 and had presumably never been laundered and even if they had been, JB had her own washer/dryer. And no one noticed a pair of size 12 underpants on JB. (For people unfamiliar with children's underpants sizes, a size 12 should fit an average 12 yr...
The idea that BDI is somehow the best theory seems to revolve around people not being able to believe the parents could or would cover for each other and being emotional about that. Other than that he happened to be in the house that night, I've never seen any particular evidence that would...
JR does not want to go down in the history books as a creepy pedophile. Whether or not he's too old to go to prison, his fibers link him to sexual abuse and it's safe to assume he does not want people talking about that.
It was actually John who placed Burke downstairs. Dr. Phil prefaced his...
Patsy's fibers are in the ligature knot. John's fibers link him to sexual assault. The autopsy revealed evidence of 'epithelial erosion' of the hymen. This has nothing to do with Burke. This has never had anything to do with Burke.
Patsy's prints are also on the bowl. The prints of either Patsy or Burke could've gotten onto the dish at any time after it'd been taken out of the dishwasher. Neither one of them even necessarily ate out of it, the prints could've gotten onto it when one or the other of them pushed it out of...
I'm not aware of any source for BR having been directed to tell people to go away by yelling at them.
Steve Thomas was an investigator, I'm assuming he had training in how to spot signs of deception.
Burke's first interview was conducted by a Boulder detective named Fred Patterson and took...
Dr. Bernhard believed Burke had either experienced or had been himself, exposed to abuse. She didn't believe Burke committed the homicide.
As for the second interview, Steve Thomas watched it from behind two-way glass and didn't think Burke even knew anything.
We don't know who set the pineapple out or who other than JBR had been eating or had wanted to eat it. It could've been Patsy, who's prints are also on the dish.
JBR sustained an 8.5 inch skull fracture. The crack started at the base of her skull and extended to almost the bridge of her nose...
Dr. Bernhard noted that his affect was flat. She didn't comment on whether or not he was traumatized. She chalked his lack of affect up to either shock, a lack of attachment to his family or a reaction to Patsy's being very emotional.
Yeah, let's ask ourselves.
The lead detective pled the 5th which meant he couldn't be cross-examined. I'm not seeing how this doesn't open the window to reasonable doubt. I BTW think a different jury could have come to a different decision. I'm not seeing how THIS jury was wrong though.
That the autopsy results weren't made public doesn't mean the R's didn't have access to them.
Here's what has been made public about the ligature fibers in relation to Patsy:
From Kolar's book:
Lab technicians had identified eight different types of fibers on the sticky side of the duct tape...
The autopsy was completed on Dec. 27. The conversation between Doug and Burke was reported to have been overheard by Doug's mother, Susan, on Dec. 28, the next day.
In a non-BDI scenario involving fatal abuse by a parent, BR would stay in his room and pretend to be asleep because he has either...
