Now reading some of the evidence the R's says they wanted reexmined in their book..Putting it here to dicuss this thoughts and opinions from the posters...
1) Palm print on winecellar door= At ACR two belong to PR the other MR...
2) Hi tech shoe print= BR said to had a pair..
3) Amount of RN= they acted like they didn't have a clue to this sum but it was close to the amount of JR's bouns..
4) Stun gun= This is confusing I read where the R's fought against JB being exhumed then some say the LE didn't follow though this action..
5) Pubic hair found on blanket= Turn out to be PR arm hair..
6) The RN itself= And PR couldn't be excluded as author
7) DNA under fringer nails= This is where I need input...
1. As I read it, there was one unidentified palm print on the door- later found to belong to MR. I am sure there were other prints, all of which were identified early on and not mentioned.
2. The Rs denied that BR owned a pair of these. Later, BR himself told LE that he did, in fact, have a pair- they had distinctive compasses on the laces. A mother buys her kids shoes at that age. She knew he had them. A boy of nearly 10 can have surprisingly big feet- in many cases their shoes would be adult-male size, so don't let the fact that these were adult shoe prints rule out these prints being BR's. Though JR used the top latch to keep kids from playing in the wineceller- there was a chair handy down there- and kids could certainly use it to climb and reach the latch.
3. Not much to say about this- of course the Rs knew the bonus amount. Probably few others did, if any.
4. Let's start with the fact that an instructional video/brochure on stun guns was found in the R home, which they did not deny. However, no actual stun gun was found. Remember the Rs were allowed to leave the house that evening unsearched. A stun gun is not that large. A winter coat pocket could hold it handily, as can a woman's handbag. I assume they packed toiletries and such for their stay at friends.
The Rs brushed off the video, saying it was in Spanish anyway, and they couldn't understand it. They were never really pressed much on exactly why they had this video.
The Rs wanted to let JB " rest in peace", though any innocent parent, especially one under an "umbrella of suspicion" in the death, would certainly agree to exhume and find out the truth. I can only surmise it is because of the stun gun video found in their home. Where there's smoke there's fire.
The parents could certainly have asked for an exhumation. In the absence of that request, the DA could have asked a judge to order one. Hunter did not do this.
5. Yes, the pubic hair on the blanket was found to be a forearm hair belonging to Patsy.
6. With all who provided samples, PR was the only one who was never completely ruled out as the author. That will never change, despite her death, or what anyone ever says about it. She was not ruled out- and that is that.
7. The DNA under her fingernails was deemed to be so degraded that it yielded no useful information. It may have been days old, as JB was know to avoid hand-washing according to her mother. PR said JB did not bathe Christmas Day, or Eve so the last bath may have been for the R Christmas party on Dec. 23.
Despite the misinformation around, there was NO match of the fingernail DNA to any other DNA found on JB. There was NO blood or skin belonging to JB (so she did not scratch at her own neck) nor was there blood or skin that was identified as belonging to anyone else, including an unknown donor.
It was simply degraded DNA- no source, no donor.
