When you compare that nightgown to the panties and long johns, reminds me of that John statement again...
That's not supposed to be there.
It probably got there by chance. Pull the blanket out of the dryer and they didn't realize her nightgown was with it. He was genuinely surprised by it and it caused that reaction.
There is a puzzle to be worked out here. I'm not sure anything came out of the dryer, I think I've read recently that the Barbie nightie and the blanket had blood on them.
It gets so difficult to keep tabs on everything I've read because of the number of threads. I mean it deserves this number of threads or we wouldn't have any order at all, but it's still difficult to remember where I've read something and if it's information backed up by sources. I probably shouldn't have even posted it in the "Was Burke Involved" thread either, but it kind of follows on from the link and photos posted above. So I'll continue with my thoughts for the moment.
When you say John was genuinely surprised by it, I have to wonder about that. He doesn't say much, IMO, that he can be caught out by, in other words I think he is a manipulator through and through. I don't take his surprise as genuine, because I think everything was put where it was for a reason. And I believe he put JonBenet in the wine cellar. Admittedly it may have been by torchlight, but part of me wants to say he wasn't surprised, he wanted it to be seen as he was surprised - it had to be the intruder that did everything of course.
The nightie also looks to me to be too small in the sleeve and for a younger age, for it to be one that JonBenet might have still been wearing. But then again I might have just forgotten how small 6 year olds are, and the longjohns also look to me to be very short in the leg, and we know she was wearing them. But they still could have been too short for her I suppose. Someone mentioned clothes grabbed from a charity donation pile/bag and that is an idea. John did mention a bag of clothes ready for charity donation, in one of the pictures taken by the hall near the internal garage door. I thought that was a strange comment from him, because I would have assumed John would have had nothing to do with sorting out the children's outgrown clothes and charity donations, and that would be more Patsy's department. But Patsy was clueless, as usual, when she was asked about the bag. She just wanted to be uncooperative IMO, and distance herself from everything that could be linked to the crime.
I've also heard the bag in the hall contained children's ski wear that belonged to some friends, and so it's hard to work out, with all the conflicting information.
My gut feeling is that the events of that night, after the pineapple, happened in JonBenet's bedroom. If the Barbie nightie wasn't from the charity bag, I feel it was from the bedroom and was moved to the basement because it had blood on it. They didn't want the crime to have occurred in the bedroom, it all had to be moved to the basement, where they decided to stage the crime scene, to divert eyes from the bedroom.
The final strangulation occurred outside the wine cellar because of the urine on the carpet, but I think this was a crime scene that was transferred from elsewhere. I am liable to change my mind :dunno:
