BR's reddish, glazed eyes and that weird smile make me think he's under the influence of something.
Or he's just freakin weird. JMO

Thank you so much for your response. I apologize for coming on and being so lazy not to look this all up myself but I know from experience that the people on the thread are usually knee deep in the details and it's often just easier to ask. Thank you again.
Anyone on here that has 'known' me for a time knows how big I am on watching body language and facial expressions. Again all I can say is when BR answers why he didn't draw JBR in that family picture it sent an absolute chill down my spine. This is not the reaction I would be looking for then or now from someone who's little sister was just found murdered in their own home.
I see children of my own friends and those kids are writing letters and drawing pictures of sunshine and happy times written to grandparents who have passed, I just can't quite grasp the affect this young man has. It's scary to me for sure.
One theory I wondered about while listening to BR with DP. I am sure others have mentioned before.
Could BR and JBR snuck down and looked or opened the new presents that were supposed to be for the next day?
Could PR have caught them and maybe lost her temper?
They may have been under strict orders to not open or look at the presents for the following day and like most kids maybe curiousity got the best of them and they disobeyed PR.
I have to wonder if something simple like that caused PR to lose it. Especially if wine had been drunk over at the friends house , she was tired and cranky just wanted to get some sleep, She spent hours wrapping the gifts, etc. etc.

I agree with you, completely. In my experience working with children on the spectrum, they often are in their own bubble, and not very interested in what others are doing and feeling.I guess I'm just a little surprised you have a lot of experience with kids on the autism spectrum. Because I don't have tons of experience...but even I have known some who just aren't necessarily very curious about what other people are doing or feeling. So to me, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a child on the spectrum to not investigate the goings on that morning. And it wouldn't necessarily be sinister either. It's just the way their brains work.
In the first episode of Dr. Phil he did make a comment along the lines of "maybe I just felt safer" in my room....something like that. I took that as not really wanting to know what was happening. Ignorance is bliss, so to speak.
I do wonder if he heard something earlier - his parents talking? Yelling? Figuring out what to do with JB? And has just suppressed it as a "survival" method or something.
I feel like such a broken record here....but no two children are the same. And IF a child has developmental delays or is on the autism spectrum...it can be vastly different than a neurotypical child. (We don't know if this is the case with Burke, obviously. But it's certainly possible.) We really can't say that ALL children would react the same. Definitely not all children with other issues.
And I don't think being from the U.S. or the U.K. is going to make much of a difference.
I'm sitting here watching Dr. Phil.
Is it just me, or is BR and his perpetual smile really creepy?
I agree. Especially when she must have received dozens of dolls that were in boxes.
What concerns me is that J.R. said this. How do we know if P.R. ever said this?
I am having difficulty believing anything that J.R. says. Maybe it is just me.
So, now onto the bruises on her body.
Has anywhere anyone can find, found anything that determined the AGES of the bruises on her?
Looking at a photo as opposed to live examination just chaps my hide and is supremely difficult to fully look at correctly. To me, in my humble armchair opinion on my old computer those bruises on the tops of her shoulders have a red hue to them/red brown and they look older than something inflicted at the time.
Also, I understand that the garrote has been investigated, examined and discussed, whole blogs written about it. But today for the first time I was able to see the actual photo of this around her neck.
That's no playtime toy there that got out of hand. There is INTENT there and petechiae. With a finish that there was no coming back from. That was deeply imbedded in her neck.
The whole thing just makes you sit back in your chair and say????????
Also, on one of the DP fish hooks was this, "Later Burke will talk about hitting his sister in the head with a golf club." (paraphrasing) What ever came of that?
Who is Robin? (Sorry if that's a dumb question.)
Did he say that? On DP? That's a major red flag that there were some very shaky things going on in the home!re: bed wetting
BR: I definitely remember
her and me wetting
the bed 2 to 3 times a week
It could be Patsy lied in her book on this point. If she did kill JBR she might have let dad tell him. And of course both could be true. JR told him and then PR told him. I tend to think JR told BR to do this interview. BR seems childlike and has never properly separated from parental control. Its just my impression. BR could make a fortune writing a book telling how his mother did it if its about money. He should have never done this interview. It certainly doesn't help him.
DP wife.Who is Robin? (Sorry if that's a dumb question.)
That is what I keep saying about the garrote. There were fingernail marks around it where she tried in vain to rip it off. Poor baby!
I agree with you, completely. In my experience working with children on the spectrum, they often are in their own bubble, and not very interested in what others are doing and feeling.
I will add, as I said before, that whether he's on the spectrum or not, he can't really be compared to other people, in the 20 years since the murder. Living with the media in your business all the time is crazy!
