midwest mama,
This could have been the original intention?
This I fail to understand. The R's were never in a position to predict the future. For all they knew the police might arrive in an unmarked car?
How do the kidnappers know the R's failed if they are sitting about at another location awaiting a ransom drop off?
If the kidnappers do not phone back by the deadline, then how are the R's to blame?
IMO the ransom note is simply a crime-scene construct to allow JonBenet to be moved from her bed to the wine-cellar, otherwise you have a bedroom assault, which patently implicates the R's in a manner the wine-cellar does not when you add in the ransom note.
It might be the original intent was to dump JonBenet outdoors, but once the logistics were worked out, the R's realized a dead JonBenet dumped outdoors is not much different from a dead JonBenet dumped into the wine-cellar, because in both cases the Ransom Demand is never met, since there was no kidnapping! I can envisage Patsy vetoing dumping JonBenet outdoors, when the outcome is the same in both cases.
Yes we are flogging the proverbial dead horse, but thats better than eating it LOL.

The note said the R's and the authorities were under constant scrutiny. No reason to believe someone from the "foreign faction" wasn't able to 'monitor' their phone calls. IF Patsy was involved in any of the scenario, her call for police and friends would have assured a dead body being found later.
This website has an interesting layout of the ransom note - it is stitched together in one long page, and laid with the tablet lines straight, which then show a lack of margin drift:

Seeing the note this way somehow gives a different view of it. IMO, it looks more aggressive - again, JMO.
When the awaited call did not come in with further instructions on the 26th, I suspect JR figured the police would then confirm that the call was meant for the 27th, and would disband from his home, allowing him the opportunity to shuffle Patsy off to be with Burke, maybe even then making arrangements for them to go on to Michigan?
IMO, I suspect JR counted on being able to get JB's body into his car at some time following the time after Patsy, police and friends had been cleared. He may have envisioned being allowed to wait alone in the house during the remaining time until it was time to start over again the next day to wait for the ransom call. The end of the note was very clear that it was totally up to John, allowing for him to be expected to be a lone operative.
If Arndt had made a decision to leave the home along with other officers, JR would have had a clear path to convince everyone that it would be best for everyone to leave him alone in the house to 'sit tight', rest for the 'exhausting delivery' that would have to be made, and get ready to make the drop and then pick up his daughter?
EXCEPT, Kidnapping gone bad: R's observed bringing in police and friends = dead JB. But "Kidnappers" go ahead and collect ransom money, before they let JR know where to find JB (assaulted and dead). :moo:
