The time gap between the injuries is one of the many tricky situations in that night's events.
I do not believe that she was asleep upon arriving home. I have trouble believing anything BR states about the events of that evening (or any of the R's for that matter) because we have now learned new details. He stated on Dr. Phil, that he went downstairs with the flashlight after he was thought to be in bed to play with a toy. He also put the flashlight in his room by his father's hand while JR was putting him to bed. The clean as a whistle flashlight no one in the house claimed to know anything about.
As far as implicating JAR, I think they tried to implicate everyone they could think of to add to the confusion.
The debris that was found on JBR from the rope may have been from an earlier staging before she was placed in the WC in the early hours of that morning. She was wrapped in a blanket allegedly from the dryer. The duvet, rope, and suitcase, may have been a part of an earlier staging as well.
The pineapple helps to determine TOD, I do believe it was eaten there in the R's home. Burke may have acted like he knew nothing of the pineapple. However, in that same interview, he claims one of the snacks they have before bed sometimes is pineapple with milk.
There may have been an argument of some sort while at the White's or another event that led to the actions that happened in that home that night only the R's and W's know and neither is telling. Also, the friends they dropped gifts off to that night could have lied. Who knows? Again, I have to follow the TOD determined by the autopsy here and it just wouldn't make sense to me to go home bash the child on the head, then go and drop off some presents to friends with holiday cheer, then go back and strangle and begin to stage her a time or possibly two. Plus I do not believe that would line up with the timeline because that would be a late-night drop-off. Their friends and neighbors shut down all communications with anyone after the initial investigation from my understanding and changed a story or two so I don't put a lot of faith in their comments either.
BR is implicated as on the scene but yet by all the R's accounts of that night until the morning when he is woken to be whisked off to the white's he is distanced from JBR in the comfort of his room sound asleep through it ALL. Kinda odd to me. At every turn, BR is distanced from JBR as much as possible yet implicated as being there at the WC scene. Why would one implicate him then turn around and distance him?
It makes more sense to me if he was there and all efforts were made to remove him. That's just my opinion though. The cleaning and redressing of JBR IMO, was done to try and reduce evidence. Although, it seems some of that redressing caused more questions and suspicion and left a little evidence.
Where are the rest of those bloomies, and why did the red-dresser choose such a large pair to put on JBR?
Who did peek in those presents?
What was BR playing with and for how long did he stay downstairs? Which level is downstairs? What time did he actually go to bed?
Mimsy2,
At every turn, BR is distanced from JBR as much as possible yet implicated as being there at the WC scene. Why would one implicate him then turn around and distance him?
Exactly, why bother if he was intentionally flung under the parent's staging bus?
From memory when BR was leaving the house he never bothered asking where am I going, am I going on vacation, etc? Yet he takes his nintendo with him!
Also BR claims to know how JonBenet was killed despite him allegedly being shielded by his parents, who say they told him no details about JonBenet's death.
The pineapple timeline is a red-herring, since if it was consumed at the White's then JonBenet would have digested it by the time she reached her home, and likely used the toilet as a consequence.
The pineapple is last item consumed by JonBenet it is last through her digestive system, preceded by the food eaten at the White's party.
From memory Coroner Meyer confirmed this at the autopsy?
JonBenet was
awake when she arrived home, not only does BR say so, but JonBenet has two ponytails dressed on her head, she never set out for the White's with those, check her
Last Photograph.:
No sign of ponytails there.
Patsy likely dressed JonBenet's hair, told her to get dressed for bed and prepared a pineapple snack for both children, or the sequence was reversed.
JonBenet will have dressed in the same bedclothes she wore the night before, i.e. a pink top and bottoms. The pink pajama bottoms have gone misssing, possibly down the same route her size6 underwear worn to the White's went?
Nothing happened during the pineapple snack otherwise the mess would have been staged away, so it was all forgotten about, i.e. of no consequence.
So whatever happened JonBenet made it to her bed, she is not going down to the basement in her pajamas, a place she does not like, as it is cold, wet, and damp.
From BR's perspective Christmas Night should really just be a continuation of Christmas Eve when JonBenet and Burke shared a bedroom.
Lots of new toys to play with, sweets, snacks, and cans of carbonated soda to consume, whats not to like?
