MyBelle,
You fail to note BR opened the Partially Opened gifts on Christmas Day. Everything else is pure staging and open to interpretation.

I don't know what BR opened. His parents are liars so why would I believe anything they said?

It was searched (and crime scene photos taken) the day she was found. Possibly after that, too. The DA wanted to turn the house back over to the family that very same day, over police objections. The first searches only included the basement and JB's room, later pics were taken of the dining area and kitchen. The group of friends and clergy actually WIPED the counters down and cleaned up. For all we know, they likely wiped away evidence. This crime scene was so contaminated, between Det Arndt allowing people to wander around, suggesting to JR that HE wander around (he didn't wander- he went straight to the wine cellar where JB's body was) and the damage done by the friends that I doubt any evidence from the home wouldn't have been challenged in a trial.
Arndt had a gun- she could have corralled them all in one room and said "Nobody leaves and nobody touches anything". That's what she SHOULD have done. But she didn't. She allowed the body to be touched and moved and covered with an afghan, and touched and moved JB herself, too. If I were her superiors, she'd have been fired just for that appalling breach of protocol.
I just wanted to add...JonBenet wasn't just covered....she was lovingly wrapped up. IMO undoing at its finest.
LOU SMIT: Again, you had mentioned the fact that the blanket had been wrapped around her almost like, what did you describe it as?
JOHN RAMSEY: Well, she looked very, like someone had very carefully placed her on the blanket, wrapped the blanket around her to keep her warm.

MIKE KANE: All right. Okay. Now, when you went inside to that room, you described the blanket. And you said it was folded like -- I'm just trying to get a mental picture of it. Was it
like
RAMSEY: It was like an Indian papoose.
MIKE KANE: Okay.
JOHN RAMSEY: You know, the blanket was under her completely. It was brought up and folded over like that.
MIKE KANE: Folded over, okay.

BBM. A true statement. What's interesting is that he described it as an Indian papoose when similar wrappings are on babies in the newborn nursery at a hospital. I wonder if he was about to say Indian "princess" and caught himself.
Linda7NJ,
A dead person wanted them? Are you serious, the size 12's are staging alike the ligature!

John was a CEO of a big company. I think it highly likely that one of the first calls made by the friends who responded to the house was to call an attorney who advised the group to do exactly what they did: contaminate the crime scene.
To the killer it was very important for it to be known that JonBenet died on "Wednesday", on December 25, 1996, just like her inscribed gold ID bracelet. This Holy Day was most significant and why the death was chosen specifically for Wednesday.
I don't know what BR opened. His parents are liars so why would I believe anything they said?
Didn't Rev. Hoverstock say, that John said, "it musta been an accident" or "he didn't mean to kill her"??? Something like that... as John carried JonBenet up the steps and past him...IIRC

And why of all days, would Burke be down in the basement partially picking open presents Christmas Day?
Sorry for quoting your post... That was to UK

JonBenet wanted them when she was alive. Pasty said no, that they were for someone else IIRC JonBenet was a little upset by that because she really really liked them. Patsy talks about that in one of the transcribed interviews.
IMO covering her in her favorite blanket, and those panties were "undoing"

Linda7NJ,
Same reasoning applies to her white gap top. Undoing, staging or a combination of both?
Its only Patsy's word that JonBenet wanted those size-12's. It can be argued she invented it to explain away JonBenet wearing the size-12's. Yet her story did not stack up with the evidence, there was no size-12 underwear in JonBenet's underwear drawer!
Also if Patsy engineered most of it and redressed JonBenet in the size-12's, why did she not replace the remaining size-12's into JonBenet's underwear drawer, she would have known at that point what her story was going to be?
The remaining size-12's were found later in a packing crate simply to corroborate her version of events, otherwise the R's claims about events appear dubious, e.g. Pineapple Snack.
Patsy's claims regarding the size-12's look like what they are a story made up ad hoc to explain away someone else's behaviour.

BBM. Isn't that what this entire story is about? An elaborate story pointing to someone else whether it be kidnappers or just some sicko in the 'hood? Anybody but the perfect Ramseys seems to be the theme, imo.
