ITA that the significance of the pineapple is that is contradicts the Rs timeline. The exact sequence of events after returning home is less important than the fact that JB consumed it. The extra hair tie also doesn't fit with the family's narrative. The obviousness of the bowl is cause to consider that the pineapple had nothing to do with the violence? Only Burke would have been involved with a fruit snatching incident. If it were important to the motivation of the attack, BR could have disposed of it or, after he told his parents about what had happened with JB, they would have got rid of it? Why didn't BR finish the pineapple with milk and the tea? The autopsy results surprised Patsy. Caught off guard, she resorted to her customary total denial.
BDI has an inherent difficulty with motive. Petty sibling squabbling does not explain the brutality; also the extended timeline of the crime between head blow and asphyxiation is methodical. Needless to add that BR didn't write the RN. When the RN was composed is a major gap in the timeline.

BBM: There was none otherwise the bowl of pineapple would have been removed, just as JonBenet was moved down to the basement.Only Burke would have been involved with a fruit snatching incident.

Burke might only have drank tea, the pineapple might have belonged to JonBenet, it was her favorite snack, check the condensed milk in the bowl. Burke or Patsy have never stated he liked pineapple served this way, its an acquired taste. Something I like myself, except being a cheapskate I buy the canned pineapple rings and condensed milk.
Burke was likely sipping tea from a mug or cup with the glass holding the teabag serving as a recepticle for the used teabag?
The extended timeline tells you the parents arrived late, much of what cannot be explained is likely due to the parents staging what they thought was a plausible crime-scene?
The underlying motive in the case is sexual, this is what all the staging attempts to discreetly hide under layers of tweaking.
There was more going on than meets the eye, as the parents ring-fenced certain evidence such their island of privacy surrounding the children's medical records which Dr. Beuf says he eventually destroyed.
JonBenet was attending therapy sessions prior to Christmas so the parents must have known what was troubling her?
The Ramsey's were not only a family with money they had lots of secrets, JR is doing his best to keep it that way.
