John was prepared to part with 118K following up on the ransom demand. This might be true if she was not the author, though the death threats would have to be an unconvincing flourish. She can't ignore it if she's going to expect the cops to take the RN seriously. She has to take it...

Well, "The R's" didn't call, Patsy called. Of course they can't both call but if PR wrote the note then she'd be very aware of the warnings she herself had written. It doesn't seem convincing, to me, that PR wrote all those warnings borrowed from movies, then ignored them altogether...

Which of course is no problem if BDI. BR can't be prosecuted. They go to the police station and wait for their lawyers. 10 minutes later they are on their way home. None of which would be the case if BDI. None of which is necessary nor even desireable in a BDI case, therefore it's...

So the question becomes, which one wanted JBR dead, and why? If BR hit her in the head he almost certainly applied the garrotte as well, because if he didn't (apply the garrotte) then the likely response of the parent(s) would be to call an ambulance. Even if it's argued that BR hit...

Nice to hear from you MWM. I won't be around long. I just hadn't been here in quite a while so thought I'd see what's going on. Rehashing the same old stuff, over, and over........ You're right, if it was someone who wouldn't normally handle the light then he'd have to wipe it, or...

BR didn't kill her. Neither JR nor PR would have gone to prison for life (or possibly been executed) for a murder they didn't commit.

The police certainly should have taken them "downtown" but the Rs were under no obligation to answer any questions and imo they would not have answered w/o their lawyers present. Police tactics work best on stupid people, who don't understand their rights and don't have a lawyer. I...

Concerning the flashlight - If it had been brought in by an actual intruder, then there should have been a second fl in the kitchen drawer where it was normally kept. There is only one fl, so it's most likely the R's fl. Had there really been an intruder, using the R's fl, he would of...

"...garrotte wasn't functional. ..." Are you joking? It had to be cut off. It was tightly around her neck and deep in a grove. We can debate whether or not the garrotte that the coroner saw was what caused the strangulation, but to say it wasn't function is absurd.

No. Because, as I've pointed out before, if the intruder left his own flashlight behind, then the R's flashlight would have been found safe and snug in the drawer where it was usually kept. So far as we know, there is only one flashlight.

The possibilities are endless. Most RDI scenarios have to work well as IDI scenarios too. IOWs it must be believable that an intruder would do x, y, and z. So, assuming RDI for the moment, whoever you like as the redresser, JR/PR/BR, why would they select size 12s? Why would an...

If PR put the LJs on, after the crime, that means that PR selected the size 12 panties, or ignored them when putting on the LJs. Both seem unlikely don't they? If PR was involved in the redressing JBR almost certainly would have been in the correct size panties, as there were many available...

We know she wore the gap shirt to the party. Photos form the party prove that. PR claims to have placed the LJs on her at bedtime and doesn't recall anything unusual about the underwear. What happens next is pure speculation. If you theorize she was wearing the barbie nightgown during...

The 12s could have become wet by contact with the LJs, but that would mean the LJs were put on (or pulled back up) prior to urination, which means prior to death. If she then had a postmortem release, and the culprit decided to leave the wet LJs on her, why bother removing them to put on too...

I had asked for a theory of the JBR case that was objectively testable w/o recourse to conjecture. Obviously I asked for too much.

It seems to me Doc's theory stands apart from other RDI theories in that it provides a rationale for why there would be a body and a RN in the house. Other RDI theories either don't account, or account for it by finding IDI plausible on the face of it, while at the same time rejecting IDI.

I agree, length isn't going to make a difference. I'm just pointing out that it may have broken because it wasn't designed for the force applied to it. If it was pulled with the fingers but the thumb was on the end of the brush the pressure of the thumb could have broken it. If it broke...

He couldn't be near every phone, they had more than one. He could, I suppose, hang on to her at all times, though that might have been slightly suspicious. It really comes down to this - what is more convincing, that JR would have prevented the call in all possible situations at all...

Why couldn't it be a postmortem release? Are you simply saying that it happened at or near the time of death? I have to agree, if that's what you are saying. Am I getting too fussy about time here? . The panties had to be down, or off. I think you're probably right that they were...

Please give an example of a theory immediately testable which does not rely on conjecture, and is therefore objectively testable. BBM is all we can do with any theory.
