Neither saying she put the panties in the drawer nor peeking in boxes make her a killer. But taken in context (doesn't IDI talk about context as far as the DNA?) and with the good chance that she was not being completely truthful just add to the list of things she seemed to be less than truthful about.
Here is what makes it suspicious. She bought the panties found on her daughter. She bought them as a gift for someone else. She wrapped gifts in the basement, and partially opened gifts were found in the basement. There is a good probability that the panties on JB, as they were intended as a gift, were wrapped as a gift and were in the basement on the night JB died.
No one but Patsy knew that, possibly JR if she told him. If you've seen the photos of the wineceller, where gift box paper can be seen in a crime photo, you'd know that someone like Patsy would never put gifts in that moldy, dirty room, wrapped or not, especially with so many other places in the basement to put them.
I stand behind my comment that no SFF or intruder would have known that there were girl's panties wrapped in a box in the basement, where JB was placed. Either JB had the panties on when she was dressed for bed, or some intruder had the knowledge that unlike most people who keep their underwear in a bedroom, JB's were in her bathroom and they took the chance of getting a pair from there, risking waking her brother or parents, or risking her parents still being awake and walking around. So- taken in context, Patsy's comments place her within the realm of possibility of having put THOSE panties on her daughter, either before or after death.
An innocent explanation for the panties would go like this: Patsy admits buying the panties for her niece, but gives them to JB anyway. Patsy admits allowing JB to wear panties that did not fit, despite JB's persistent wetting and soiling, which render such large panties useless. (too- big leg holes and drooping waist mean urine and feces would not be contained in them-please see Jayelles's photo of the same panties on a model of a 6-year old girl's body). Patsy admits that JB wore the panties that day. NO opened gift boxes are found in the basement. The other 6 pairs of the set are found where Patsy said they were- in JB's panty drawer.
But it didn't happen that way.
DeeDee249,
There is enough circumstantial evidence to place Patsy at the scene of the crime e.g. size-12's, fibers from her jacket embedded into the garrote, fibers on the
underside of the duct-tape.
So its reasonable to assume that its Patsy who redressed JonBenet, her touch-dna discovered on the size-12's would confirm this? Its also safe to assume it was Patsy who created the garrote since she is familair with the paint-tote and brushes, remember she was painting days bfore christmas. Also following on from this it seems likely that Patsy inserted the paintbrush inside JonBenet, inflicting the acute injuries noted at the autopsy e.g.
IV. Abrasion/contusion, posterior right shoulder
V. Abrasions of left lower back and posterior left lower leg
VI. Abrasion and vascular congestion of vaginal mucosa
VII. Ligature of right wrist
and ...
Vaginal Mucosa: All of the sections contain vascular
congestion and focal interstitial chronic inflammation. The
smallest piece of tissue, from the 7:00 position of the
vaginal wall/hymen, contains epithelial erosion with
underlying capillary congestion. A small number of red
blood cells is present on the eroded surface, as is
birefringent foreign material. Acute inflammatory infiltrate
is not seen.
The
birefringent foreign material has likely ben transferred either from Patsy's finger, or from the paintbrush-handle?
So it looks like it's Patsy was the person who ended JonBenet's life, and created the staged crime-scene?
But what of John and his fibers found on JonBenet's person, did John play a role in the staging if so why?
This is the critical question, other pathologists opined on chronic molestation, but this need not implicate John, that may be some other family or extended family member, or both?
That is John may have been wiping JonBenet down for someone else e.g. Burke, and Patsy may have been staging to deflect attention away from Burke?
Why would Patsy stage a sexual assault then obscure it with size-12's, very deliberately done? I reckon she knows about a prior molestation so she is masking it with fake crime-scene evidence.
This suggests to me that rather than a bedwetting scenario being the trigger for JonBenet's death it was actually a sexual assault that went badly wrong either with her assailant loosing it, resulting in JonBenet's head injury, or JonBenet fell to the ground hitting her head as a consequence of her position in some molestation scenario?
That is someone molested JonBenet in some manner, followed by the head injury, then an initial staging. So was it this former staging that John and Patsy were attempting to obscure and which is corroborated by some of their forensic evidence being left at the scene of the crime?
It could be that Burke is the guilty party, hence his removal from the house ASAP the next morning, and his aquiesence in pretending to be asleep etc?
From the foregoing I reckon we can safely conclude that Patsy was aware that JonBenet had been molested by some family member
(s) prior to the night of her death!
And that at some point Patsy realized that the size-12's were a smoking-gun, since she said she bought them, placed them into JonBenet's underwear drawer. Yet
no size-12's were found in the house. Did the intruder return upstairs to remove only JonBenet's size-12's underwear, and her worn size-6 underwear?
Of course not, hence they were magically discovered in a Ramsey packing crate, and returned to make up the forensic-evidence deficit.
What close family would Patsy cover for, and would this include John, and is there any Ramsey touch-dna on the size-12's that JonBenet was found wearing?
