Am I correct that it was John Ramseys intention to fly his family out of town that morning? But the police nipped that in the bud? That flight would have gotten Burke away from having to answer probing questions, including being checked for scratches, etc.
Am I correct that it was FW who took Burke to his house? Burke was taken straight away from his bed, to the neighbors?
Am I correct that it was FW who was with John when they discovered JonBenet's body? (In my theory, John and Patsy had already discovered her body at some point during the night, and this mid-day finding was the second time John Ramsey saw her.)
All of this is of course conjecture. It seems to me that FW might have made a snap judgment, when he saw her body, that it was Burke's doing and thus FW instantly went into the mode of cooperating with the Ramseys in getting Burke away from the police. It is possible there was never a conversation regarding what to do. I'm saying it was obvious what to do -- get Burke outta there -- to people who had some prior knowledge of the children's awareness of deviate sexual play.
I am suggesting that at least these two families knew the connection between what Burke had done and some previous encounter with erotic asphyxiation. EA is defined as obtaining pleasure from the feeling of being suffocated, and the use of it within the context of sex play.
In the practice of EA, the person who benefits is the person whose breathing is controlled. Apparently, after being deprived of oxygen to the brain, intense sexual pleasure is felt at the moment of organism. I'm fairly sure of one thing, it was not JonBenet's intention to be a willing participant in the choking game. It was not a sexual act. Im saying that what happened was an accident when 2 children try to "act out" what they've seen. That's what makes me think there were adults involved somehow -- to give Burke the idea that he needed his sister to "play with." My theory, Burke was duplicating what he had seen. Two people doing this choking thing. From his child-like perspective, the adults seemed to like it. Nobody was hurt or angry. What Burke didn't comprehend was -- when and why to "release" the ligature. He simply choked JonBenet her to death. Whether the head bash came before, during, or after is not material.
Some have suggested that Burke could have learned about solo (AEA) masturbation -- at school or even from the Internet. If that were the case, he could have experimented on choking himself while masturbating. But how would he have gotten the idea on his own to apply a cord around another person's throat, unless he had seen it done?
That's why I think Burke was "acting out" what he had seen. He could have easily coaxed JonBenet into "playing" and to allow him to put the cord around her neck. If she and Burke had in the past experimented with masturbation, then this session could have started like others. There was a mark, the cause of which isn't known, on her neck which could indicate force, if not just holding her down forcefully. I can imagine that when JonBenet started having trouble breathing, she fought for her life.
