Now after all that, my point is that we can only guess where the underwear was located. An educated guess puts them in the WC, but that's only a guess. It's not fact.
My next guess is that the package was not left in the WC. It may have been left somewhere in the basement. They wouldn't be on the 1st floor because...reasons. JB's bedroom would have been thoroughly searched, but they could have been left there. MR's room or JAR's room. They couldn't have been left in a focus of the crime scene and some place so mundane they would have been overlooked. Of course, if the evidence of where they were located was withheld, finding them on the 3rd floor would be something of a smoking gun.
BoldBear,
If you believe Patsy's tale about purchasing the size-12 Bloomingdales and having them delivered via FAO Swartz, then yes they were available for an inquisitive BR to inspect on Christmas Day afternoon.
Come midnight on Christmas Day the size-12's would be lying there waiting for someone to use them. So why had Patsy not mailed them to Jenny, or placed them in her bin bags for the vacation trip?
Its possible Patsy's tale regarding the size-12's was fabricated since little of it can be substantiated. What would be interesting is to know what brand the rest of JonBenet's underwear was, maybe there was no Bloomingdales, causing the origin of the size-12's to be questioned.
Nobody, but nobody, has ever commented on the Brand or Days of The Week of the underwear taken from JonBenet's underwear drawer.
Personally I reckon the remaining size-12's went the same was as her size-6 underwear and pajama bottoms!
