Yes. I can actually see Patsy doing everything else, but not the strangulation. And I struggle to see John letting Patsy write that ransom note (among other things), which is why I don't see him as involved.
juli99,
If you read all the interviews, compare and contrast the evidence, it turns out that John, Patsy and Burke are all involved.
The parents have stated publicly that Burke was wide awake during the 911 call, then sent to bed to fake being asleep.
Patsy's forensic forensic evidence is all over JonBenet, including the sticky side of the tape on her mouth, and fibers embedded into the knotting on the ligature around JonBenet's neck.
Fibers from John's Israeli manufactured shirt, i.e not common US fibers, were found on JonBenet's genital area, and John says he never assisted in redressing JonBenet for bed.
Burke's touch dna was found on JonBenet's pink barbie nightgown which was also bloodstained with her blood, not something that would happen accidently during a homicide.
The alleged intruders left no identifiable forensic traces or dna at any location in the house, how come?
I do not know who killed JonBenet but the forensic evidence and the Grand Jury seem to suggest that the parents instituted a staged crime-scene in the wine-cellar.
John's big mistake is that he has far to much to say about the state of the basement, something in real life he cared little about, that was LHP and Patsy's domain !
IMO JR tweaked Patsy's initial staging and may even have relocated JonBenet's body from the crawl space to the wine-cellar, thus explaining why Fleet White saw nothing amiss when he looked into the wine-cellar?
Because JonBenet is staged so everyone else can say
We all went to bed soon after arriving back from the party she had to be wearing her White Gap Top, and not the bloodstained pink barbie nightgown, which alike her dressed ponytails means she was awake and prepared for bed.
Significantly the pink barbie nightgown was not left say in her bedroom or Burke's bedroom as this would dilute the claim of an intruder abduction.
The way I read it is: the parents are either covering for each other, or they are covering for Burke?
There can really be no other explanation this side of Nostrodamus or the Mayan Apocalyse, etc.
