Her brother, Burke.
It means someone tried to kill her three ways, and to me that is childhood stupidity as well as extremely personal.
Thirdly, I believe the person wasn't very strong, and had trouble executing their plan.
Cherry,
You could be right. I think this is Kolar's unstated theory, as he references medical issues possibly then affecting Burke?
If you think the wine-cellar crime-scene has been staged then
cui bono, who does it benefit? Certainly not Patsy who staged herself into the crime-scene.
That leaves Burke or JR, now speculating the case is JDI, does JR need to use so much violence and effect such an amateurish crime-scene staging, I reckon not.
That leaves Burke, after following Holme's advice, eliminating the improbable etc. One puzzling aspect to the staging is, was JonBenet sexually assaulted or is it staging?
I think it is both, she was sexually assaulted then as she was being staged she was injured internally by the use of the paintbrush. There is a piece missing, which might have been redacted from the autopsy report, as only the killer can explain its presence.
Many think because there is evidence from the paintbrush found inside JonBenet, i.e.
splinter, Steve Thomas' description this means she must have been assaulted in the basement, not so !
It looks to me as if JonBenet was assaulted in her bedroom, then moved down to the basement and staged there.
Anyone who thinks the use of the paintbrush was part of the original assault has to explain its subsequent use as staging and what it was doing upstairs? Note it finds its way back to the paint-tote, such a considerate intruder.
The Grand Jury levelled Counts of assisting an offender against both parents suggesting they were implicated in the staging.
The thing to ask is why the wine-cellar, why not her bedroom or the breakfast bar? This implies nearly everything in the wine-cellar has been staged, right down to JonBenet's underwear.
Lots of staged crime-scenes are arranged, in place, to mask whatever happened, consider David Carradine who played Kwai Chang Caine, in the television series Kung Fu, who was found dead in a closet in his hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand due to a fatal autoerotic asphyxiation accident. Relatives in such circumstances usually stage the crime-scene to hide the autoerotic feature.
Sidebar: years ago there was a joke doing the rounds at parties and bars, etc. Master, yes Caine, Master when will I know I am enlightened? It was padded out with meditation allusions, eventually Master replies to Caine
When your eyes are like mine !, e.g. it was a sexual allusion.
Very ironic indeed.
It does not appear JonBenet was staged where she was originally assaulted, suggesting this is a big clue?
JonBenet was redressed to match the parents version of events, but the staging was really amateurish, another clue implying another hand at work?
Meaning the case could be BDI with the parents staging away incriminating evidence and tweaking JonBenet's appearance to suggest she was assaulted by the paintbrush and asphyxiated both by the paintbrush and ligature, whilst this might simply represent staging?
