Rope is to be expected in the Ramsey home since sailing plays a big part in their lives. Patsy admits to Burke having rope to make boats around the yard....and it is more likely that the rope was used THAT YEAR to decorate JAR's christmas tree.
The marks below the furrowed section of JonBenet's neck do tend to come from an initial hanging. One of my theories is that Burke could have tied the rope around JonBenet's neck because he had seen it in his new Nintendo64 game Super Mario 64, which, by the way was the only game available for N64. In the game, there is a bomb tied to a post and around a big bomb's neck and Mario must let loose the bomb by pounding on the post that the rope is tied to, thus releasing the bomb.
Sounds corny, but you have to play the game to understand what I am trying to explain.
