Was offline yesterday, puter sickness.
Finding the Motive, per the book written by John Douglas and someone else whose name I have forgotten, called "Motive For Murder", says find the motive and you find the murderer/s.
IF IF the death was a result of an accident by immature and novice experimenters whose tutorial was limited. ie, lack of oxygen causes death, then a coverup to protect the young boys. End result with this scenario is a horrible memory that you killed your sister.
IF IF the death was a pre planned action by a family member to silence the tiny victim, then I see it as a cover up by a far more adult perpetrator. IF IF it was preplanned by a hairy monster, the hairy monster perp would have brought a ransom note with him, written on a grocery sack, or similar. Hairy monster would have wanted lotsa real money $$$$$$$$$.
IF IF it was preplanned by JAR and a buddy as sorta proposed by Blue Crab, they would have planned a ransom note like the Hairy Monster perp and brought it with them, imop.
My reasoning for the latter scenario, a planned murder, is that IF IF the 911 call concerned the same 'abuse' by the future killer, the Ramseys already knew WHO the perpetrator was! PLUS would the Ramseys NOT hustle that PERSON outta Dodge on the 23rd, er shortly after the party where the 911 call happened?
IF IF this abusive sexual technique had been practiced before, hence the fibers on JonBenets body from the covering that produced the semen, then toss in the comments by JonBenet of an upcoming Secret visit from Santa, has some bearing.
This is heavy evidence in my book of wonderment, since JonBenet conceivably would have had MANY MANY baths SINCE the blanket was PACKED, that would have removed semen evidence as was connected to her by the blanket in the suitcase. THAT blanket had supposedly been packed away at some long ago time, and should not have been present on the murdered childs body, DUH! That tidbit alone should have put the perpetrator in a jail cell, EXCEPT FOR THE fact that the person whose semen was found, HAD ALIBI'S FROM FAMILY AND A John Ramsey supplied ATTORNEY.
A tipsy perp, known to the family who could not control his/her sexual appetite, and one who managed to get back to their tiny prey.
I am betting that there was probably semen on the little Santa Claus doll as well. The doll that 'went missing'.
This whole case has been a ceremony in saving face at all costs, imop.
My opinion based on published news accounts of JonBenets murder and from hearing words from the Ramseys own mouths.
