This idea of innocent transfer is more complicated than it seems at first glance.
Consider: jbr transfers this DNA. She touches an object and transfers a stranger’s DNA to her hands. Now, she touches her leggings and transfers that DNA (but, not her own) to them. But, she wasn’t wearing the leggings until after she was put to bed (or, at least, until after she went upstairs upon arriving home from the White’s). If she touches anything between the time of picking up this stranger’s DNA and touching her leggings, then the stranger’s DNA is going to transfer to that something instead.
This is true if the DNA is transferred by Mrs Ramsey. She would have to transfer the stranger’s DNA to herself, and then to the leggings. If she touches something in between – for example, the pants she removed from jbr – the stranger’s DNA should have transferred to that.
Every innocent theory of transfer is NECESSARILY more complex than a theory of primary transfer by her killer (because primary transfer is always the likeliest mechanism of transfer). And, all this only concerns the tDNA (skin cells; dry) found on the leggings. Now, factor in the non-tDNA DNA (saliva: wet) inside the panties and you’re already complex theory of innocent transfer becomes even more complex.

What if the skin cells had come from saliva that had dried?

I don't see Mr Brown, Cliff Gaston, and Bill Cox as having provided a DNA sample. They were all present at both the Ramseys' party on 23 Dec and the Whites' party on 25 Dec. What if one of them had coughed or spit into a cloth at the Ramseys' and that same cloth was used to wipe JonBenet down? What if the same person had his old DNA on his coat at the Whites' party and JonBenet handled that coat?
