Such a re-hash you got to love it:
Boy 8 years of discussing what we know as evidence. My conclusion? (This is going to be long LOL:
1.) The Ramseys returned home from the Whites house on the evening of the 25th. JonBenet was still awake and helped carry in gifts just like Burke remembers. Both the kids get dressed for bed and I believe it was JB that put on the oversized panties, (I will tell you why later) wanting to wear her new shirt to bed, she just changed into long johns. Most likely at the request of Patsy because of the cold night.
2.) Patsy was in and out of the basement, gathering suitcases, and wrapping gifts. JonBenet most likely accompanied her on some of those trips to the basement which resulted in JBs dusty feet.
3.) At some point either Patsy or Burke served JonBenet some pineapple. I think Burke most likely did, because at this point in time, I believe Patsy was too busy trying to arrange things at the last minute for the trip the next morning. Could be another reason the Ramseys didnt remember JonBenet having any. As Patsy states This isnt my set up, large spoon in bowl. This is something a kid would do. By the way I dont think Burke was ever questioned about the pineapple, because I believe this wasnt a known fact until long after Burkes interview with police. Burke IMO holds the KEY to the pineapple, because JBs prints werent found on the bowl. Wonder if the large spoon was ever finger printed? Bet not.
4.) Burke assembled his model plane with his dad, and my thoughts are that Patsy may have decided at this point with JonBenets upcoming pageant to dye JBs hair. This also explains the gloves. Because I dont think a panicked parent would remember plastic gloves to use as a cover up unless they were already out. The gloves are important to this case because if an intruder used them, then that suggests planning on his part, yet he forgot to write the ransom note ahead of time. And why would any intruder bring 2 sets of gloves? One winter set and one plastic set? Doesnt make any sense. You cant have the killer thinking logical and then illogical. The fact that Patsy admitted to dying JBs hair ties in the fact that these sort of gloves were accessible to her. I would wonder if any hair dye was removed from the house and the befringement material found on JB was matched to other gloves packaged in the same hair dye kits? Bet not. I wonder if investigators ever noted MISSING gloves from the hair dying kit? The key to this clue would be any photos taken at the Whites house that evening, or their testimony of how JB wore her hair, which is why the Whites would be the number one people I would question besides the Ramseys. I dont believe the way JB was found with the hair ties in her hair was the way she dressed at the Whites. This is CRUCIAL since the Ramseys said they put JonBenet to bed immediately when they arrived home. Since the hair wasnt dyed that we know of, what reason was there to re-do JBs hair with hair ties, unless of course Patsy was using them in the process of dying her hair, which I have been told is done by sectioning the hair. With what we know from the Ramseys and all the photos of JonBenet, have we ever seen one where she doesnt match? Do BLUE hair ties match black pants and a white sequined star shirt, if that is even what she wore to the Whites? The reason I came to this conclusion is because I believe the fracture to JBs head came directly from a hard flat surface, and in my opinion that surface would be the bathtub or hard fixture in the bathroom. It also would be the reason for the nail mark to JBs leg from Patsy grabbing her while trying to do her hair or getting her ready to dye her hair. I dont believe she was bathed because JonBenet had dusty feet when she was found. Dying a 6 year olds hair under stress with little time, would be my most likely scenario for why Patsy blew up. JonBenet wasnt behaving and WHACK, Patsy lost it before she even got the change to dye her hair. I dont buy the bed wetting theory, because the crime scene photos tell me the bed was not remade, and JBs full bladder emptied at the time of her death consistent with urine stains to the front and thighs.
5.) Burke at this point was most likely already in bed. I believe JonBenet was first cracked in the skull and BELIEVED to have been dead sometime between 11:00pm-12am. Which is why the Ramseys consciously chose to use the December 25th date on her tombstone. The head blow came first but I dont believe Patsy told John immediately what she had done. I believe John most likely retired to bed as he states before the incident ever happened. I believe Patsy also thought at this point she had already killed JonBenet, and therefore began the cover-up. With a blow to the head that severe, JonBenet was most certainly unconscious and unresponsive. I dont believe that the head blow and strangulation came simultaneously. For that scenario to have worked JB would have already have been in the basement. I believe it wasnt until after Patsy cracked JB in the skull that she panicked and decided to move JonBenet to the basement and at one point placed her in the suitcase, with the intent of removing her from the house. I believe this would be a natural persons reaction to cover up a crime. To get the body OUT of the house. I dont know how long JB was in the suitcase but long enough to produce marks to her face and back, which is why there are only one set of marks to the side of the face and one to the arch of the back, which coincides with a child curled up in a suitcase face pressed against a SNAP and back against a HINGE or RIBBET from the suitcase itself. Even one expert observed the marks looked like they were from a SNAP. JB was most likely hidden in that suitcase while Patsy thought about what to do and took the time to construct the long rambling ransom note. It also explains the swelling in JB skull and the lack of blood in her cranial cavity. It explains why there would be NO livididy to the side of JBs body because JB was STILL ALIVE at this point.
6.) The black tape and rope were purchased by Patsy a month prior to the crime, but were purchased for her paintings, most likely kept in the paint tote, with her paint brushes, which explains why all 3 items were used. So I have come to the most likely conclusion that this was NOT a premeditated murder. Patsy liked JonBenet around, because JonBenet set Patsy off. She was her trophy. JonBenet brought ATTENTION to Patsy. However with Patsys psychotic behavior and the stress of the holidays and trip to Michigan, cruise and pageant coming up, Patsy snapped. I think Patsy did ALL of the staging, because NO man with common sense would have placed a small piece of tape over the childs mouth. He cant be THAT stupid. This was done by a woman. Had John been involved at this point, he would have known that this looked FAKE. Also the fact that the rope was cut by using Burke Ramseys pocketknife that ONLY Patsy and Linda knew where it was hidden, tells me that Patsy was the one that cut and tied that garrote. Because its hard for me to believe that one parent cut the rope and the other tied the device. You wouldnt be taking turns during a situation like this. I came to this conclusion after much thought, and years of contemplating. But Patsy had to tie in her scenario she used in the note Foreign Faction to the body. By constructing the device it ADDS to the believability that a Foreign Faction was involved in Patsys mind.
