This is the perfect place to "put it" (your opinion). Glad you decided to de-lurk. If you haven't figured out what a "garrote" is- it is a long piece of cord, fabric, even wire; usually, but not necessarily, with a handle at each end. A person strangles the victim by crossing the garrote around the victim's throat and pulling hard.
JB's cord was not really a garrote, though is is described that way sometimes. It is actually more appropriately a "ligature". Hers had a knot, which garrotes do not have, and was more like a noose, though the knot was not really like a noose slip knot either. Anyone with knowledge of either a noose or garrote would not have made the one on JB.
