I bumped up this thread rather than start a new one, since Anyhoo brought a line of theory into the forum a few days ago asking us to consider that JB was not killed in her home, but transported there very soon after.
DeeDee249 has done a great job keeping us reminded about the livor mortis indicating that JB was placed in the position in which she was found almost immediately following her death.
Many experts have opined that JB's head bash came first, with a time period following for up to 90 minutes before the ligature strangulation. Combine that with the fact that livor mortis indicates she was placed into the wine cellar very soon after she died, and IMO, I can accept Anyhoo's proposal that JB received the head bash at a location outside her home, provided she was brought home unconscious by the R's, where the rest of the crime then took place.
For me, it answers the question of the R's knowing what rendered her unconscious to begin with, and also explains the vaginal assault, both those that showed prior, healed abuse, and that associated with the crime itself. It explains why, if JB was being sexually abused with their knowledge at another location the night of the crime, they would have tried to mask that and present her as a victim of sadistic strangulation by a pedophile kidnapper.
This is just the beginning of a new theory of thought. There are surely many unanswered questions that we should take a look at that could help us decide if this fits in with a theory that leads us to consider JB was being used in kiddie prostitution the night of her death. Sickening premise, yes, but might be the only avenue that helps us hook up details of the crime that have not otherwise made much sense.
The most important one to me right now is, if the R's had to strangle her and had planned to have a "ransom note" set up the crime as a kidnapping gone awry, why did they not go the extra mile and dispose of her body before calling 911?
