My current theory is close to this one! I think B had been caught with JB more than once. Also that Patsy would become just as mad at JB for "allowing" this to happen- either by going into B's room or not yelling- and would then angrily scrub her (and possibly molest her out of anger).
John's role in this was that every time Patsy would bring up the situation to him, John would be dismissive of her concerns. From his view, Patsy was overdramatizing everything and "boys will be boys" or "it's just a stage". Perhaps B learned this behavior directly from JR, IDK.
When Patsy caught them this last time, she was enraged. Tired and mad from a long Christmas and trying to pack from the trip, this just sent her over the edge. She screamed at JB and dragged her out of the room. JB started to throw a tantrum. P caused her head injury, then went into hysterics. JR rushes in and they, thinking JB dead, go over all the repercussions if they go with the straight story. JR does the majority of the staging, unstaging and restaging. P writes the ransom note (for the first staging) as he is doing this- maybe after taking some meds? IMO P and JR are arguing/blaming each other as she was writing the note- which would also explain their attitudes towards each other the next day.
Anyways, I think JR was pretty desperate the next day to get both P and B away from LE so I think he was "in charge" of the cover up. I also think a lot of the puzzling things found are part of the staging/unstaging or just things forgotten about (like his robe in the wrong room) Just My Current Theory!
At the point Patsy went hysterical, and JR would have become involved, with as much wealth and obvious political connections the R's had, why would JR, with no reason to have responsibility that night for anything that had happened, not have made whatever calls necessary to bring medical help for the entire family?
If JB had been taken quietly by ambulance, the morning headline would simply have been about her being fatally injured in a household accident. Ramsey could have succeeded in keeping the molestation between the kids under wraps because of the legal ramifications any media would have been under due to the age of the kids.
Bueff could have claimed he had no knowledge of the kids' sexual games, and then sealed the kids' medical records just as he did, Burke would have been in the care of relatives during the next days, (he ended up being sent to Georgia for about 6 months prior to the R's relocating back to Atlanta later on) Patsy would have been under hospitalization and medication throughout the few weeks that followed of the tragedy, and the family would have received empathy from friends, family and nationally till the cows came home.
Instead, JR managed to meet Det. Arndt at the door, quite CORDIALLY, according to Arndt, as the scenario began to unfold. His daughter supposedly kidnapped by a 'foreign faction' being held for ransom, and He was CORDIAL! I can't imagine it.
