Steve Thomas, Linda Arndt, Lou Smit and James Kolar all had access to evidence in this case, yet the all came to different theories/conclusions; I.e.,Patsy, John, intruder, and Burke, respectively. I feel like Mr. Kolar is the most logical, and that the other three became too emotionally involved. I think everything John did and continues to do is to protect himself. Even a hint of inappropriate sexual conduct, even if untrue, is a stigma he needed to fight at all costs. I don’t think he hit or sexually abused JonBenét. I do think he became involved late in the game and redressed JonBenét, thus sealing his fate to keep all the secrets hidden forever. He is covering for himself, patsy and Burke, all who were involved in this tragedy to some extent. This family was privileged and dysfunctional. I’m sure patsy and John suffered terribly after JonBenét’s death. They did what they felt they had to do to keep their remaining family intact, whatever would keep them out of jail. Lawsuits, false accusations, manipulation. Maybe Burke doesn’t even know the full story..he could be the sexual abuser and/or the one that struck the blow to the head..heck, maybe none of the three knew the whole sequence of events-maybe they wanted it that way. Poor JonBenet never had a chance. She was on borrowed time.
