Well I was just thinking, a semen stained blanket means nothing in the context of a college aged man's bedroom. But the combination of blanket and Dr. Seuss book does mean something. However, I'd argue the suitcase might or might not have contained more things? things that we don't know about, as Singularity has stated, that room was a mess on the night of the murder, god knows how many things were hidden, moved, discarded, Etc...
And if those cutesy Jonbenét photographs do come from Andrew's room, and if he took them, it would mean he instructed Jonbenét on how to pose or what to do right? so nevermind the Dr. Seuss book, cute photographs of Jonbenét PLUS semen stained blanket is definitely NOT right, do you agree?
Maybe I'm stretching, I don't know, but the sudden combination of blanket plus photographs just came to mind, even if we have no way to date the blanket or know where the photographs were originally kept before being thrown in the basement.
UK brought up a good point on how the suitcase may have been used to move certain items to the basement although this doesn't explain why the blanket and book are still in it.
You're right that the suitcase may have had other things in it but they didn't release the info regarding all its contents. This is why the case is so confusing and frustrating....we know they never released all the evidence. It took many years for people to find out that a doll was in the wine cellar.
Even though we have not seen the photographs, they are down there for a reason. If its just some innocent tossing of photographs, why isn't every photograph in the house down there? Because there's no reason for them to be. Only certain photographs need to be distanced from the family and even then, it shows their chaotic thinking under pressure because even if you're dumping photographs in the basement, it is still in your house. Yes they have been moved from point A to point B and while we can speculate on where point A was, point B is in close proximity to her body and if we follow the bread crumbs by looking at pictures of the crime scene, its only logical that point A was the room of the house in most disarray, which is JAR's room.
WE have no idea of knowing what she is doing in the photographs and if we knew it would be very telling. On the other hand, even if they are photograhs similar to the type we have already seen, it shows that someone had themselves a collection of her photos and it wouldn't have looked very good had they been left where they were originally kept.
Like I mentioned before, I believe that second cigar box contained something besides cigars. John intentionally distances himself from it. Its also the box that Fleet White touched on his last trip to the basement(as well as the piece of tape).......
LOU SMIT: I think I'm going to just switch gears right now, unless you have any other
questions. One thing I did want to show you on picture 147 here; this again is photographs of the
wine cellar. There's a series of them: 146, 147, 148 and 149. Again, photographs of the wine cellar
after the search warrant was obtained. And I'd like to just show them to you, Mr. Ramsey,
and see what you observe on these photographs, whether they're in place or out of place or if
there's anything that seems to be different? And what you remember?
JOHN RAMSEY: Well, in terms of the pictures, this cigar box is different, certainly.
LOU SMIT: And what do you mean by that?
JOHN RAMSEY: Well, in terms of versus the other picture, it's kind of resting on its bottom here, more or less. Here it's a different box.
LOU SMIT: So you had more than one box of cigars?
JOHN RAMSEY: I don't remember that box, Romeo and Juliets. I remember this. The Cubans.
LOU SMIT: (INAUDIBLE) the same box?
JOHN RAMSEY: No, I don't remember that box.
LOU SMIT: Okay. That's it?
-----
Of course you don't remember THAT box.
JOhn admits earlier in the interview that he smokes cigars and of course there was an actual box of cigars in the wine cellar besides the one mentioned above. Here's Patsy talking about cigars...we know she smokes them as well because she smoked one at her birthday party....
PATSY RAMSEY: Close ups of those.
TOM HANEY: Also appear to be.
PATSY RAMSEY: (Inaudible).
TOM HANEY: Do one or both of you smoke cigars?
PATSY RAMSEY:
No one does.
TOM HANEY: Okay. Were they normally kept there?
PATSY RAMSEY: Well, he must -- I don't know.
TOM HANEY: Is that taboo in the house to have them?
PATSY RAMSEY: No. He probably put them in there because it was an airtight place. It was cool. I don't know what you do with cigars.
TOM HANEY: A humidor.
PATSY RAMSEY: A can.
TOM HANEY: Wasn't like he was hiding them from you?
PATSY RAMSEY: No.
---------
No one does.
Yet they don't even bother to call her out on this obvious lie.
Something is in that second box that isn't kosher. Fleet knew it....John certainly knew it...and no matter how incompetent, they knew it too.
I used to think someone might have emerged from under the bed (not an intruder of course) but Singularity has changed my mind on this topic.
I now agree somebody might have looked under the bed to look for something specific they needed to discard, move, hide, etc...
LS had more photographs to look at but its pretty obvious IMO it was something along those lines.
