It does not blow chunks thru my theory. You've probably never read my theory as it does not involve a 5th person in the house that night. I believe the stangulation was the cod and it was deliberate. I also believe that Patsy is NOT the person who did that.
JKB, can you elaborate on your theory, and if you do not want to, could you point me to a thread where I might read about it? I would love to read your thoughts on this. Thanks.
Thanks OL, to make a long theory short, it's my opinion that something happened that night (very soon after they arrived home) that sent Patsy over the edge. It doesn't have to be a toileting issue, but I feel like it probably was. I just saw the photos of JB's bathroom a few moments ago (going to post the link for you in another thread) and I feel like, in her rage, Patsy flung (or slung) JB into the bathroom and she hit her head on probably, the bathtub. Both the vanity and the tub have very sharp edges (looks like the tub may have a ceramic tile enclosure), but with enough momentum, I have no doubt that tub could have caused her head injury. JB had already eaten the pineapple. I think that she and Burke had a snack as soon as they got home and I don't think JB would have been allowed to have something to drink (Burke would have, hence the tea glass). When Patsy saw what the accident had done to JB, she probably started to scream uncontrollably, which brought JR and possibly BR to come running. At this point, BR was sent to bed and J & PR started trying to decide what to do. A brain injury as severe as the one JB had would surely have meant brain death (take a look at her skull in the autopsy photos, if you can). This, to me, made P & JR believe their little girl was dead so they started the staging for a cover up. A lot of other things went on but to make this shorter, I believe that John handled the strangulation in order for the cause of death to be obvious when she was found. Maybe he believed there would not be an autopsy or that they just would not find the head wound. At one time I kinda believed he knew that she was still alive when he strangled her (even if brain dead), but something SD said in one of his posts (sorry, can't remember which one right now) made me believe otherwise. So sorry for the long post! I made it as short as I could.
