To believe the headbash came first and that Burke was responsible, one has to also believe the murder weapon was within easy reach of the 9-year-old child. I do believe the murder weapon was the flashlight because the prints were wiped off the batteries. I also believe the flashlight was found by police in the same location it was kept. What I don't believe is that the flashlight was within easy reach of Burke or that the murder took place in the kitchen. If Burke was involved, why wouldn't his fingerprints be wiped from the bowl of pineapple? His parents lied about his activities prior to the murder and denied the bowl of pineapple existed.
Burke spoke to police and would have no reason to lie about the bowl or the pineapple if he was innocent. His story of his own actions prior to his sister's death has never been released.
It is possible he and his sister were engaged in sexual exploration. Their environment was one of fantasy and total dysfunction. But there is no evidence either the asphyxiation or murder were at the hands of a 9-year-old. It simply does not add up for me because his fingerprints were on the bowl. His parents forgot to wipe the bowl because they knew he wasn't involved.

Not in a child's easy reach?
Ever had a 9 year old boy? Lmao! Nothing is out of easy reach!
It was a flashlight, not a hand grenade!
