Pineapple - it seems pretty clear (to me, at least) that either the Rs forgot that JonBenet had eaten pineapple and that it would show up in her system as a way to estimate TOD, or they didn't realize that JonBenet had snagged a piece or two of pineapple after they got home, proving she was awake when they said she wasn't. It was definitely pineapple in her system, and it was definitely the same as what was in the bowl. No intruder gave her pineapple. This is clear proof that JonBenet was AWAKE at some point after returning home from the Whites.
..in thinking about it,it appears they're trying to account for their own forensic evidence on JB w. that story,IMO.yes,they did forget about the pineapple,one or both of them,or thought it would be unimportant.
..but JR says he carried a sleeping JB to bed,and took her shoes off.I think he carried an unconcious JB down the stairs.At some point,he removed her shoes..probably in her room,b/f going down the stairs with her.So he knew his prints were on her shoes,and he had to account for that.Also by saying he had carried her in the house,he's accounting for any evidence that might be on JB from him having carried her.
Patsy says she took JB's coat off,and then put her in the Lj's.She probably did remove her coat when they got back... but she put the lj's on JB *after she was knocked out from the head wound,IMO.So Patsy has effectively accounted for her own forensic evidence on JB,by using that story.Also,it is an easy story for all of them to remember and keep straight..BR included as well.
..so,what does that tell us...it says that JB was dressed (to shoes,at that) when she was struck on the head..(we already know from Dr Spitz that she was manually strangled by her shirt collar);it also says that both Patsy and JR were dressed...at least JR had his shirt on.But he does try to account for his underwear fibers (in
DOI) in JB's room,and in the hallway where he says he was reading the RN ..to me, that says he was in the process of getting undressed,when he heard JB scream and ran to her room.
No intruder evidence - how nice of you to admit there's no real evidence of an intruder other than what the Rs amateurishly tried to stage. The window and the ligature and sexual assault are all meant to indicate an intruder (cause supposedly, no Christian parent like the Rs pretended to be would do that to their own child.) The RN is the biggest piece of evidence meant to indicate an intruder. Too bad Patsy can NOT be eliminated as author of it, changed her writing right after the murder, and her own family members thought it looked like her writing. Patsy even told ST that she thought it looked like a woman wrote it. Hmmmm.
I've always thought it strange that neither Patsy's mom or dad flew to CO. to be with her after JB's murder... her 2 sisters came instead.I take it they had a suspicion it was Patsy who did it,and didn't want to become involved..so they didn't show up.They sure did stay away for some reason,IMO.
[ As for why the Rs refuse to act like other parents of murdered children and do all they can, they can't or won't because they know who killed JonBenet and have been covering for that person all these years.
absolutely,JR appeared very smug when on tv after Patsy died..he didn't use his media time wisely,asking for help to find the killer,and he even laughed and said he felt sorry for Karr,after Karr was cleared.
