I know we've been over this many times, but still the question is in my mind: why didn't John just grab a pair of the many size 4-6 pairs from JonBenet's drawer upstairs?
Or why didn' t Patsy just tell him to get a fitting pair from JonBenet's drawer?
For all of Jonbenet's size 4-6 underwear had days of the week written on them also, so if it was important for the stager(s) of the scene that she wear a Wednesday pair, they could have obtained that from the size 4-6s too.
Why go to the trouble of removing a (far too large) pair from a partially wrapped Christmas gift set to put on the victim? Why not just run upstairs quickly and get a size 6 pair?
UKGuy,
do you think the Ramseys left the flashlight behind there there accidentally or on purpose?
rashomon,
Possibly because from John's perspective, he was attempting to conceal something and he may not have been downstairs when he was cleaning up JonBenet. She may have been in his bedroom, and the size-12's may also have been in the same room, a gift awaiting to be packaged, and to John, this was just panties, ones just like he had just removed, even a Wednesday pair with a flower?I know we've been over this many times, but still the question is in my mind: why didn't John just grab a pair of the many size 4-6 pairs from JonBenet's drawer upstairs?
Because she may not have been there at this point, JR may have been engaged in some activity which he did not want PR attending e.g. she could attend once JonBenet appeared dressed and normal?Or why didn' t Patsy just tell him to get a fitting pair from JonBenet's drawer?
Not unless she was already wearing a Wednesday pair. But I agree with your main point, why not go the extra Kilometre and fetch a pair of size-4-6's, especially if you are a PDI proponent, and if you did not do this and you decide for whatever reason to add the size-12's then why not set up the staging to account for the size-12's e.g. place the remaining size-12's into JonBenet's panty drawer? Not doing this proves that the crime-scene has been staged and that only a Ramsey would know about the size-12's, and that no intruder requires a set of 6-clean size-12's.For all of Jonbenet's size 4-6 underwear had days of the week written on them also, so if it was important for the stager(s) of the scene that she wear a Wednesday pair, they could have obtained that from the size 4-6s too.
With Patsy then claiming, belatedly, to have placed the size-12's into JonBenet's prior to her death, but is told none were discovered in her panty drawer, then she returns a pack of recently discovered size-12's found in a packing crate, what does all this mean. It must mean Patsy never knew about the size-12's in the first place and that she is covering up for another person, e.g. the script she is following is not hers!
Absolutely, precisely, 100% correct, why not indeed, so apply KISS, and Occam:Why go to the trouble of removing a (far too large) pair from a partially wrapped Christmas gift set to put on the victim? Why not just run upstairs quickly and get a size 6 pair?
The person who opened up the size-12's was not Patsy, and the person who did, did not want to draw attention to their current predicament e.g. a bloodied corpse, by running upstairs or even going into JonBenet's bedroom?
To my knowlege only three gifts were itemised as partially open e.g.
Partially wrapped FAO Schwartz (55KKY)
Partially wrapped FAO Schwartz (56KKY)
Partially wrapped FAO Schwartz (57KKY)
both Patsy and John refered to these as gifts for Burke's birthday, its unlikely that they would be Jenny's gift since they were wrapped in Schwartz paper, Jenny's gift was probably wrapped in Bloomingdales. So none of the remaining gifts were Jenny's. Since the remaining size-12's went missing we cannot infer anything from the absence of evidence, other than a Ramsey probably removed them. So the size-12's being located in the basement may be a red-herring?
It has to have been left there on purpose. Why because whomever left it wiped it clean, both on the outside and the inside no intruder needs to clean the latter. So the removal of evidence is deliberate, so its placement must have been intentional. Its original purpose may have been part of a prior staging or simply the object that dealt the death blow to JonBenet?do you think the Ramseys left the flashlight behind there there accidentally or on purpose?
