If the R's originally intended for police to look outside the house for JB having been kidnapped by an intruder, surely they would leave some simple things for LE to question: such as the flashlight being left out on the counter by an intruder who "forgot it" in his haste to get JB out of the house. With no Ramsey prints on it, they might have thought they could just say it wasn't theirs and did not suppose anyone would ever know or say differently. No Ramsey prints, no way it would have belonged to them. After all, wouldn't a sneaky glove-wearing intruder need a flashlight to be able to get into their house when it was dark without being able to turn on any lights? Staging. IMO, the flashlight is a tangible forensic "clue" to lead thoughts toward an intrusion, even without an entry/exit point other than the latched/unlatched broken train room window.
