I believe tight-fitting clothes can cause UTIs in kids as well. It could have something to do with her pageant outfits. Most kids don't wear stuff like that regularly.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't see proof of guilt here. He's a 9yo kid who's sister was just sadistically murdered. Not to mention there was an enormous media frenzy around the case. I can't even begin to imagine how I would respond. I don't know if the psychologist has ever interviewed...

I asked the same question about whether JBR was removed and brought back after the police were called. They would've had to know the house extremely well to avoid detection. They also said in the note that they would kill JBR and not return her body if police were called. Another critical...

Do we know he didn't have protection? Maybe he had private security?

Good point. The only reason I can think of someone wanting the note found quickly, was if they really did want the ransom money in the morning.

Thanks for the link to the note. The spelling mistakes and the awkward grammar could indicate it was written by someone foreign. They said they would behead her. The said they would not release her remains, so what changed? Did something cause them to change their plans at the last minute? And...

Some more thoughts: If it was an intruder seeking ransom, surely the ransom note would be more organized. Pre-typed, not in their own handwriting. It seems the intent was never about ransom, because JBR was never taken. Perhaps the perp wrote the note to confuse/stall the investigation. IF it...

If the family was involved, I imagine the purpose of the ransom note was throw the police off and buy time. Police would assume she was taken from the house, unlike a typical missing child case where you'd immediately search all areas of the house. Calling the cops would've been a way to...

Wow, I never thought of that. The last person a cop would suspect in a case like this, is another cop. Yes, surely police would be familiar with garrotes - either from their training or from other crime scenes. I don't think its something that the Average Joe would be familiar with, especially...

For me, the timing is totally weird. Why would a parent or sibling murder a child on Christmas night, after returning home from visiting friends? Surely everyone was tired at that point. A psychopath/loner/pedophile is someone I can imagine would choose Christmas Day.

Were there any contractors working in the house leading up to the murder?

SBM. Maybe they took JBR from the house, then came back to dump her body in the basement?

I just finished watching the Netflix special. Admittedly, I haven't been following this case closely over the years. I'm sure others are far more educated on it. Here's some observations/questions: The garotte. I got the impression that you'd have to have a certain level of knowledge about...

Is it possible police went with a murder charge, knowing it could get downgraded? I thought it was a common practice, to go for the most severe charge. When does the trial start?
