Loulani,
Yes Burke may have dragged JonBenet, but why would he need to use a paintbrush, he has perfectly usable hands.
Only if its BDI All. Maybe the parents are staging the wine-cellar to remove Burke from the crime-scene, which was likely located upstairs?
Sure, what if you intend it as dual purpose, e.g. sexual assault and ligature handle?
Nah, its a homicide, there are no gold stars for neat measurements!
Seems to me as if the parents are staging the ligature asphyxiation to mask a prior neck compression. JonBenet's acute sexual assault is cleaned up and hidden from view, suggesting its for real, with the possibility of a staged sexual assault using the paintbrush?
The thing is neither parent would choose to stage JonBenet wearing Patsy's niece's size-12 underwear and Burke's longjohns, something sweet and neat would have been selected from her voluminous wardrobe, do not forget guys these peeps were millionares.
I get the impression the wine-cellar is the end result of staging by Burke, John and Patsy, it could be anyone of them, there is no smoking gun, but based on the Grand Jury and those True Bills, including those still sealed, it looks like the case is BDI?
Its just to what extent, i.e. plain vanilla BDI or BDI All, along Kolar's lines with hints at spectrum disorders?

There's a thing called "Schlittenseil" or "Schlittenleine" in German (I'm from Germany, pls google cuz I dunno if I'm allowed to post links here or not) and there's a proper English word for a construction like that as well but I forgot it. It's used to pull sleighs but constructions like that were also used to pull other things in the past (with thicker ropes/cords, my dad still has one of those lying around). I think Burke tried to construct that to drag her. Her body should be quite heavy so pulling her with his bare hands would probably prove to be rather difficult for him.

I do think it's BDI all (headblow, sexual assault, strangulation). I believe the parents found her dead, relocated her (in or to the basement, idk), covered her with a blanket and tied her hands together. They also dumped the pink barbie night gown next to her. They wiped her down and they redressed at least parts of what she was wearing while she was murdered.

I don't think they would to be honest because I would think breaking it once would be enough. Also, weren't fragments of the wood of the paint brush found inside her? But yes, I do think she was assaulted with objects like that prior to the murder and during the night of the murder. So the paint brush could have been used for both, the assault and the ligature handle.

You think? I feel like children would try to be much more accurate with things like that than adults because they learned it in a certain way and will try to reproduce it in the exact same way.

It could be, yes, but I myself can't connect the violence, which the ligature was used with, to the care that the hands were treated with. Why tie the hands together so gentle and be so rough on the neck. Makes no sense to me. Unless one was done by John and the other by Patsy, but I think the ligature asphyxiation is real, done by Burke.
JonBenet's acute sexual assault is cleaned up and hidden from view, suggesting its for real, with the possibility of a staged sexual assault using the paintbrush?
Here were a couple of happenings in the past 2 years where kindergarten children were assaulted by other kindergarten children with foreign objects. I think that Burke repeatedly assaulted JonBenét with foreign objects. Did Burke sleep in her bed or did she sleep in his bed? Soiling oneself is a common practice of sexual abuse victims, an attempt to prevent further assault. I think the parents cleaned up the real sexual assault, which was done with said paint brush.
The thing is neither parent would choose to stage JonBenet wearing Patsy's niece's size-12 underwear and Burke's longjohns, something sweet and neat would have been selected from her voluminous wardrobe, do not forget guys these peeps were millionares.
I totally agree that this is odd to say the least. Maybe Burke redressed her in an attempt to cover up his crime?

I think so, too. I think Burke did most of it and then tried to hide the body. Patsy was done packing or heard sth I dunno. She went and asked Burke where his sister was. He maybe said she's hiding, they should search the whole house (afaik he told that to police as well, why would he, such an odd sentence). Eventually they found it and lost it, then decided to cover up, wrote the note and called police.
Its just to what extent, i.e. plain vanilla BDI or BDI All, along Kolar's lines with hints at spectrum disorders?
I think it's BDI all. I dunno whether it was an extreme form of sibling rivalry or personality disorder or both. But I have severe doubts that Patsy or John would assault or fake assault their daughter, I also doubt they would fake strangle her like that and pull strands of hair while doing so, and then tie her hands together so gently and softly (you see, the tied together hands matter a lot to me) and on top of that cover her with a blanket.
