Hello all and thank you for having me on your forum. I have followed a lot of you for years on here and you have helped me in recommending resources to sort through the myriad of twist and turns in this convoluted case. I have stepped away from this case on a few other occasions with great disappointment and frustration swearing I just couldn't do this anymore and thinking it wouldn't matter anyways. After the CBS series I remembered that so many who could have made a difference have quit and if we all quit then we are simply, in my opinion, playing into JR's modus of running out the clock. I have recently read the current and former Gov's of Colorado responses to the CBS special as well as numerous articles reflecting Dr. Lee's wish to reexamine the evidence using modern methods and It gave me hope, most likely fools hope as the past has shown, that this time someone who can make a difference to this case will be allowed to. I would like to explain where I am currently in my thinking on this case in hopes of connecting with others who may still be drilling down on theories. I am 94% RDI and 6% IDI. The 6% IDI in me is because I realize that the quickest path to Justice in this case would be to have some unknown psychopath with no connection to the family show up and match the single non-familia DNA found in JBR's panties. I don't believe given the current condition of physical evidence in this case through accident, ignorance or purposeful destruction, as well as Woods 20 years of muddying the water a conviction of JR could be reached. BR clearly to young and Mom gone.
When I laid this down a few years ago, and little has changed since, I felt it would be a solid irrefutable legal point that BR was the last (known) person to see JBR alive between the hours of 10:45pm and 11:20pm in the kitchen. Print may place Patsy here at this time but not solid as she denies preparing pineapple. I would like to ask if some of you would test this statement and see if we are in agreement. If not I apologize for not being up to speed. Also, I am looking for what is to be considered the most up to date defined time of death for JBR. Please provide source or offer thoughts on this as I have run into numerous 'expert' opinions tied to either JR or the DA's office that seem designed to muddle that facts
spitsthetruth,
Welcome aboard. You know what they say about
When going gets tough ... and all that.
From what originally simply appeared to be an upper income homicide of a child has morphed into media gold dust for the networks, yet along the way it has become more interesting as further evidence has been released, e.g. photo of Burke's long johns.
Technically the last person to see JonBenet alive was Patsy, i.e. she put jonBenet to bed. Burke said he returned downstairs after everyone was in bed.
Whether JonBenet was already downstairs or followed him is another question.
If you accept the forensic evidence yielded by fingerprint analysis and the autopsy reports account of JonBenet having eaten pineapple
after arriving home, then the
circumstantial evidence suggests Burke may have been the last person to see JonBenet alive.
The latter scenario does not include the possibility that after eating the pineapple JonBenet made her way to bed, where there was an altercation with one of the parents who would then also be the last person to see JonBenet alive.
So it really all depends on what your favored possible explanation is, which is why you will have read differing expert opinions on the subject.
So in essence the available evidence can accommodate a BDI, PDI or JDI depending how much stress you place on the forensic evidence.
I felt it would be a solid irrefutable legal point that BR was the last (known) person to see JBR alive between the hours of 10:45pm and 11:20pm in the kitchen.
So it would not be legally irrefutable that BR was the last person to see JonBenet alive.
