Hi UK,UKGuy said:angelwngs,
I guess barring the exceptional either someone other than John used his shirt to wipe down JonBenet, or the fiber transfer has occurred during a sexual assault?
This latter explanation suggests John and JonBenet were alive in a common timeframe.
Now an important feature is that in either scenario John's shirt would not magic itself from his bedroom down to the basement.
So regardless of which scenario you select its very likely JonBenet was wiped down upstairs and possibly inside John's bedroom? Otherwise you have someone deciding to go and fetch an expenisve shirt to wipe down JonBenet.
So its possible to speculate that prior to her death JonBenet was in the same upstairs room as John, his bedroom?
Alternatively down in the basement, John simply used his shirt to wipe down JonBenet, since it was convenient, per occam this is a starting point, but still raises the question why?
So rather than speculating further e.g. JonBenet fell off John, hitting her head, during a sexual assault in his bedroom?
If you accept that the shirt fibers did not arrive on JonBenet accidentally then their presence suggests that John was awake when he said he was asleep, and assuming further that he wiped JonBenet down to remove forensic evidence, it may have been him that wiped the flashlight clean?
added:
So rather than toilet rage, its just as logical to consider sexual rage, and since both parents are linked to the crime scene, and that it can be demonstrated that the wine-cellar is a staged crime scene then the probability of a familial conspiracy is reinforced. That is John and Patsy were joint partners in the death and staging of JonBenet's homicide?

Rashomon just posted on A&E for me quotes from the 2000 interview with John Ramsey - where Levin asserts that "pilings" from John's blue robe were found in JB's underwear".
John replies "








The robe was found in the floor in his bedroom I b elieve. So the robe was used to wipe her down.
I have said I always believed Thomas' theory that it was corporal punishment that gave way to the theory of sexual abuse (corporal punishment by Patsy). But I am not so sure anymore. It is looking more and more like sexual abuse.
