And that's about it really, isn't it!
Looking at all the evidence, speculating what happened and who might have done it, who secreted what where and who did or didn't lick a paintbrush, really does come down to....
"But what about the ransom note?"
If someone can rationalise an intruder WITH the ransom note, I'm pretty sure there's no amount of evidence that will change their mind.

If someone can rationalise an intruder WITH the ransom note, I'm pretty sure there's no amount of evidence that will change their mind.
Lets consider that
someone, an intruder might have the same rationale as any Ramsey resident for penning a ransom note.
What might the resident's rationale be, i.e. why bother with the note at all? Why not just dial 911 and scream
My Baby is Missing, Help Me!
Also if it was an intruder who left his abductee behind, same question, why not leave JonBenet on her bedroom bed?
What is the percentage in churning out Ransom Note drafts, also was this done
after or
before JonBenet was asphyxiated? So why bother with the
after bit if you are going to leave empty handed and further contribute forensic deposits?
Really the intruder can only write a Ransom Note postmortem if the intent is to stage JonBenet's death, e.g. a failed abduction?
Suggesting the intruder really came to sexually assault JonBenet, which went wrong, so for whatever reason her death is then staged as a failed kidnapping, i.e. no ransom note authored prior to assaulting JonBenet.
Does that sound convincing?
So what about the residents: similar reasoning applies, but with a twist. Staging JonBenet in the basement means moving her body, which breaks any links with the primary crime-scene, e.g. her bedroom?
Now if the residents diall 911 and shout
JonBenet has gone missing the police will search the house, possibly even using the Canine Patrol?
If they say its a kidnapping instead of a Missing Person case, then just possibly they might get enough time to bail out of town?
So moving JonBenet to the basement is to obscure where she was assaulted and hide that she was redressed and cleaned up, e.g. abducted straight from her bed.
Writing the Ransom Note explains how a dead body moved downstairs, and hopefully dilutes any house search along with buying time to leave town ASAP.
So the intruder scenario does not stand up, as a postmortem RN is inconsistent and an antemortem RN does not require the leisure time spent in the Ramsey house authoring, i.e. the intruder should come prepared, or simply phone the house the next day, unannounced and state their demands?
So it's patently an inside job, not that of a child in its entirety, also the Grand Jury hit both parents with a True Bill : COUNT VII (Accessory to a Crime), suggesting they both
did unlawfully, knowingly and feloniously render assistance to a person .... knowing the person being assisted has committed and was suspected of the crime of Murder in the First Degree and Child Abuse Resulting in Death.
That is, allegedly, both parents assisted a
person who assaulted JonBenet and murdered her.
Looks to me as if a Ramsey resident assaulted and murdered JonBenet and both parents helped in the postmortem staging?
