Oh, I definitely meant no disrespect to you, UKGuy. The question of why her bottom was wiped but not her face has been bothering me since Jayelles pointed out it looked like JonBenet had been crying due to her face being a bit messy.
I never really looked all that closely at JonBenet's face in the autopsy photos other than to examine the wounds because it bothers me to see her face in death. I'd rather picture her as the smiling happy girl in family photos.
So I began to wonder...if the reason she was wiped was due to the staging being done by someone who cared for her, as I had been thinking, then why didn't that caring extend to making sure her face was cleaned off as well?
As long as I've been following this case, I keep coming up with new questions as different things get discussed. This is just another one of those questions - you would think that the person who applied the tape to her face would have noticed that she'd had a runny nose (if not a nosebleed - that raises even more questions in my mind) and had been crying, and if that person cleaned her off below the waist out of concern or what have you, then that person would have wanted her to have a clean face also. I don't know - anyway, I was just thinking out loud. Your posts always make me sit and think.
Nuisanceposter,
Thats a leading question, I hope your not disresepecting me ...
Of course not, that was meant as an indirect reference to John when the subject of incest was aired.
If JonBenet bled after receiving the head blow, then her killer(s) knew she needed medical assistance, even if they were not aware how serious her head injury was.
It is possible that she was cleaned up and the mucous on her face is a post-mortem release caused by her being relocated to the wine-cellar, changing the pressure inside her head?
If JonBenet did not have nose-bleeds then the blood on her pillow could be a result of some incident, then patently she was lying on this bed, which is either the location of a prior staging or the place she was initially killed? I wonder if whomever killed JonBenet simply cleaned her up, and placed her into bed, hoping nothing would come back on them later?
By the time it had reached the wine-cellar staging mucous and urine-soaked longjohns did not matter since an intruder kidnapping was being staged?
After being killed I reckon JonBenet's appearance was made to look as if she was ok, since her head injury is not immediately apparent, and only the abrasions on her lower neck would be visible, but these could be hidden by wearing a turtleneck, so she could really be placed anywhere in the house, my bet is on her bedroom.
Bear in mind that the garrote was constructed down in the basement at a later point in time.
With the blood stain the plot thickens, since if she was not initially asphyxiated as some claim, then we still have JonBenet being sexually assaulted, and whacked on the head, medical assistance being denied, her body being cleaned up, with possibly her bedroom playing a central role?
An interesting thought is why a nose-bleed, why not a mouth bleed or an ear-bleed, was the blood matched directly to that night?
If this had been an accident then any normal parent would seek medical assistance right away, this never occurred, why so?
If Patsy did it, why should John risk his reputation and liberty assisting Patsy cover up the crime, and if it was John why should Patsy risk her liberty aiding and abetting John?
Yet there is forensic evidence suggesting they both colluded in the staging of JonBenet's final resting place, they both lied for each other, they defended each other in public, Patsy to the extent of ruling out John as being in a position to molest JonBenet, imo they were both involved, and that JonBenet's death was no accident!
