UKGuy--What are some supporting factors that there may have been a prior staging which was then revised?
Tober,
I have enumerated these extensively, particularly for those that think JonBenet was killed in the wine-cellar, BlueCrab also has alternative theories that support prior staging.
In no particular order of importance:
1. JonBenet's upper torso represents her day-clothes, the lower half her night-clothes
2. JonBenet's hair has asymmetric ponytails, and different colored hair-ties.
3. JonBenet has been wiped down, but her face left covered in mucous.
4. The ransom note implies a dumping scenario.
5. The severe head fracture may represent post-mortem staging.
6. She may have been sexually assaulted with the painbrush and posed indecently
7. JonBenet is wearing fresh size-12 underwear.
8. Her body was relocated to the basement.
9. She was wrapped in blankets e.g. for dumping outdoors?
10. JonBenet is wearing no socks.
11. The stun-gun marks may be post-mortem contusions.
Since some aspects are inconsistent with an kidnapping for money scenario e.g. asphyxiation, sexual assault, change of underwear, hair restyled etc, then it appears JonBenet may have been killed in one location, then been staged in another e.g. her bedroom complete with her hair restyled, but then this was all revised down to the wine-cellar, where a bedtime abduction was intended to be presented, this is why her barbie-nitegown is down there, and if she had been redressed in that, with her urine-soaked clothing removed then Lou Smit's intruder theory may have looked pretty good?
