Could just be she was exhausted, she was working as hard as any child actor or model but without the legal protections they receive because of the amateur status of pageants. In professional work younger kids are so limited time wise twins are frequently used.
Back to the dolls, if Pam removed them on Dec 28th and one was ordered on Jan 1st, the person that ordered the 'replacement' would have had to known Pam's actions AND would have to be a regular customer with a catalogue, they didn't go online until 1998. Seems to fishy to mean anything other than the Ramseys took the duct tape off the doll, put it on Jonbenet's dead lips and to hide or cover up the fact the doll was replaced in case the police came calling to inventory it.
sgrump,
Why would that matter, lets just say the intruder took the duct tape off the doll. Who can say otherwise or even bothers?
Its curious that the police never highlighted the doll in the same way they did about the size-12's, i.e. they got Patsy to state she purchased them and that's why they were in the house, i.e. no intruder brought them in.
So if the doll is missing and needs a replacement, why no questions regarding who took the doll out of the house, i.e. was it the intruder?
