In James Kolar's book "A Foreign Faction: Who Really Kidnapped JonBenet" he discusses the staging of the crime scene.
From page 276:
Some people in law enforcement might say the Ramsey crime scene didn't set off any alarms bells. The crime scene set off deafening high pitch sirens.
From Kolar's book we continue on page 272:
For many members and visitors reading this post it may seem like I am stating the obvious but please remember, we have many new people who are starting to look into the JonBenet Ramsey case for the first time. Also, it's always good to review the obvious because it is like cold water on the face. It's shocking to remember just how much evidence there is in this case that points away from an intruder.
Let's list what is staged:
I'm sure I've left out a lot of things.
In my opinion, the sexual assault that night was staged. Maybe. I go back and forth.
Whatever led up to the hole in JonBenet's skull isn't stage but we are not sure exactly what led up to that deadly injury.
It really baffles me how anyone can look at this crime scene and say it's real.
Thoughts? Please add to the list? Disagree? Join in please.
Tomorrow on Day 12 we will discuss the actual ransom note. Cina Wong has provided some incredible samples of her dissection of the ransom note for us to post.
Sunday is the start of the CBS special.
Everything in me says this special is going to blow the intruder theory up like a nuclear bomb. Then again, I may come back and eat these words. It's been known to happen.
I will open the Websleuths chat room on Sunday about an hour before the special airs. I'll make a new thread with the time and link sometime today.

From page 276:
The Crime Classification Manual describes staging as activities that someone may engage in when they purposefully alter a crime scene prior to the arrival of police. Elements of staging raise "red flags" for the investigator because an offender who stages a crime scene usually makes mistakes because they prepare it the way they think a crime scene should look.
Law enforcement officers respond to hundreds of crime scenes over the course of their careers and have developed that "sixth sense" that sends off alarm bells when something doesn't look or sound right"

From Kolar's book we continue on page 272:
There are two reasons someone may engage in staging a crime scene:
1. They wish to redirect the investigation away from the most logical suspect or to
2. Protect the victim or victim's family. (This could include a motive to avoid embarrassment or criminal charging based upon the underlying circumstances present in a crime.)

- Practice ransom note
- Change of clothes
- Garotte
- cords on JonBenet's wrists
- blanket left on JonBenet
