Consider also the possibility that it may have been a shoelace from a high top basketball shoe. They are very similar in weave.http://www.footasylum.com/images/products/large/000026.jpg
The difference between the shoelace and the cord used in the crime is that the shoelace has no woven center. While it is braided on the outside similarly to the Stansport Utility Cord, without the center it is too flat. Also, I don't know this, but I would guess that the shoelace is cotton, whereas the Stansport was nylon.
MurriFlower, I will tell you this: The flat braided utility cord we've seen the pictures of is very hard to find. I have, in trying to recreate the look of the knots, used my own shoelaces. Stansport brand is sold over internet, but I haven't been able to find the exact kind as was used on JonBenet. If someone else can find it, I think they could sell a lot of it to us JBR fanatics.
