The articles state that they have two separate people of interest (so one for each case). That would mean it's not the same man. The confusion comes from the fact that they released info on both cases at the same time, and some of the wording is wonky. I certainly hope something comes of this...

Yep, exactly. Plus, they stored all the extra Christmas trees there. If they had garlands on those trees, it's likely some was left behind in the room.

From Kolar's AMA: I believe the commonly held theory, based upon the sequencing of injuries, is that the garroting and the location of her death was on the small piece of carpet located outside the wine cellar door. Her bladder let go upon death, accounting for the urine stains in the front...

The pineapple and Jonbenet's pillow on the kitchen table put her downstairs before death, IMO. IIRC, the blood in JBR's bedroom was so minute it was almost nonexistent and there's no indication when it got there. Also, as I posted a few pages back, JBR's urine was on the floor in front of the...

Plus, there was urine outside the door to the room where she was found, which indicates she either died there or released her bladder when she was hit in the head.

Could Burke possibly be charged with something else? Obstruction of justice or something like that? Though he committed the crime before 10, he was interviewed several times after he was old enough to be prosecuted, and if he did indeed do it (which I believe), then he'd be guilty of holding...

This is how she seems to me, too. She was a performer, and she knew how to hit the "right" notes to seem sweet and religious. The real Patsy? Who can say. I always go back to the way she cried when talking about the press being mean to her and then a few minutes later talked about JBR's death...

Well...I think it's possible that someone in shock and upset at finding their child like JBR could miss a very faint pulse. Personal anecdote - when my own grandmother died, I was so upset that I couldn't tell if she was alive or not. I kept thinking I felt a pulse. The human mind can do really...

Lawsuits like this aren't filed to WIN. They're filed because they expect to settle. Defamation lawsuits are long, drawn-out affairs, unless you live in a state with anti-SLAPP legislation and can prove that it's a SLAPP lawsuit. In a non-SLAPP state, even if a case has little chance of being...

In "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town," it's mentioned that JR had a picture behind his desk labeled "Subic Bay Training Center,." The Bible on his desk was also opened to Psalm 118: Probably a coincidence, but I've always found it a chilling one.

This is why they're suing an individual: it's less likely to get to the deposition phase. The defamation case I was involved in took more than a year before it got to depositions and the woman being sued had, at that point, racked up six figures in legal fees. It's a long, drawn-out and...

As I said, even if you think the evidence is inconclusive, there was enough evidence there to bring up the question and force an investigation. Blood in her underwear. Blood below her vagina. Blood on her legs. (And this after she was wiped clean, so I'm going to assume it was worse before...

Because of the sexual component. There's no calling it an accident if she's also been sexually violated. Even if you think the evidence is inconclusive that she was, the fact is there were enough indications to arouse suspicion and it would have been investigated.

I think it's possible they used the garrote, not knowing she was still alive (when you're scared and jumpy, it would be possible to miss a very faint pulse, IMO), to make that look like the cause of death, because they didn't know what the actual cause of death was. The coverup was because the...
