I think that some of where I differ from your characterizations centers around semantics.
Staging, as defined by profilers, refers to “when someone purposely alters the crime scene prior to the arrival of police. There are two reasons why someone employs staging, to redirect the investigation away from the most logical suspect or to protect the victim's or victim's family.”
In this case a prime example of staging, from an RDI perspective, is the ransom note.
Undoing, which is a subset of staging, refers to actions taken by the perpetrator of a crime to help reduce feelings of remorse through activities which often take the form of comforting or cleaning the victim.
Again, technically, the entire home is what I would refer to as the crime scene.
The fact that JBR was discovered in the wine cellar does not make it the crime scene.
Generally then, since there were elements of staging, (such as the ransom note,) this was a staged crime scene.
I think many RDI proponents believe that much of what happened to JBR happened elsewhere, as do I.
Quite the contrary, these are elements that would serve the purpose of “comforting” JonBenet, and consequently fall under the category of undoing.
I can’t say that is not true, however, JR didn’t say that these things were wrapped in the blanket with JBR, they may have been beside the blanket, for example.
FW may have walked in the room after JR had unwrapped JBR from the blanket and may be unable to provide any help with this issue, regardless, we have no statements from him on the matter either.
It doesn’t matter to me whether they were inside, or just outside the blanket, they would still qualify as undoing.
Absolutely, that’s why I don’t put them in that category; they are all elements of undoing.
I agree, there was a ransom note and an alleged kidnapping; therefore JBR had to be “missing.”
The point of undoing, however, is that if a parent committed this crime it’s quite unlikely that they would leave JBR naked or “uncomfortable.”
I agree that this was simply the final resting place.
Perhaps, who knows? It may be just as likely that a blanket was laid down in the wine cellar, JBR laid on top, and the blanket wrapped around as we discussed in an earlier post.
Could be, but as per my point above, certain things may have been “assembled” in the wine cellar as well.
Given that the paint tote was just outside the wine cellar on a carpeted floor, there is evidence to suggest that some of the final elements of staging and undoing happened there.
