No one but Patsy would equate JonBenet with being a gift and either place her or have her placed in the wine cellar with other gifts.
Icedtea4me,
Papoose style in her blanket.

"Then Haney asked if I remembered what JonBenet had gotten me for Christmas, and I became very emotional. I remembered a little green construction paper ornament JonBenet had made in her class at school. When I had opened it on December 25, 1996, I saw her school picture with the message: "your gift is ME." How true, how very, very true. I had thought the ornament was lost in the shuffle, but Trip DeMuth assured me they had it in their possession. Of all the hundreds of items that were confiscated from both of our homes, that is the one item I most want returned."

I can understand Patsy wanting it, since it was from JonBenet.Of all the hundreds of items that were confiscated from both of our homes, that is the one item I most want returned.
Sentiment aside, it looks like Patsy ligature asphyxiated JonBenet, her fibers are embedded into the ligature knotting, which includes JonBenet's hair.No one but Patsy would equate JonBenet with being a gift and either place her or have her placed in the wine cellar with other gifts.
"your gift is ME" implies that JB thought of herself as a commodity due to her pageant experience. While sweet, this sentiment seems out of kilter. "I don't feel pretty." also reflects the importance of appearances that PR And Nedra had instilled in her.
BR was said to be getting a bike for his birthday. If so, where was it stored? It wasn't with the other gifts in the WC. BR got a Lego set for Christmas? Then he was to get another set for his birthday? This is an example of the case's peculiar echoes and repetitions.
Yes, another missing gift in action. Consider what Burke tells Dr Phil:BR was said to be getting a bike for his birthday. If so, where was it stored?
DP- "And you had people tour the house?"
BR- "I think there was like a ...like a Boulder home tour thing (still smiling) like we weren't
the only people that did it."
DP- "Right. They went house to house and looked at all the decorations."
BR- "Yeah" (smiling)
DP- "So when do you guys open gifts? Is it Christmas eve or Christmas morning?"
BR- (smiling looking to left) "Christmas morning"
DP- "Do you remember what you did that morning?"
BR- (smiling looking to the left) "I remember peeking down and seeing like a electric
train and a bike. I was super excited."
DP- "Was JonBenet with you?"
BR- (smiling and looking to the left) "yeahhhhhhh I think so.."
DP- "Did she peek too?"
BR- (smiling) "Yeah I think so."
DP- "Did you get what you asked for that year?"
BR- "Nintendo 64."
DP- "And what did JonBenet get?"
BR- (smiling and looking to the left) "I think she got a big doll house..We both got bikes."
Christmas day was warm and sunny for the most part, and JonBenét and her brother each received new bicycles that their mother picked out from University Bicycles downtown.
The one down in the wine-cellar apparently? Who knows what he was actually to get for his birthday.BR got a Lego set for Christmas? Then he was to get another set for his birthday?
14 TRIP DEMUTH: Okay. It is hard to sort of
15 figure out where all of these pictures are taken, but
16 there is another package over here.
17 PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-huh.
18 TRIP DEMUTH: Does that look out of place or
19 in the proper place?
20 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, I had -- you know, I
21 stacked up some packages along there (inaudible).
22 Kicked (inaudible) or something. I kind of have it
23 backed up here.
24 TRIP DEMUTH: Okay. So the packages in 146,
25 it looks like it is out of place to you?
0392
1 PATSY RAMSEY: Uh-huh. Yeah. See, that
2 looks -- the door would be here.
3 TRIP DEMUTH: It is hard.
4 PATSY RAMSEY: So that would be back in here
5 somewhere. I was right in front of the door.
6 TRIP DEMUTH: No. Here are the screens. You
7 see the screens over here, the small screens, so it is
8 more back in this.
9 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah. I would tuck them
10 there.
11 TRIP DEMUTH: I guess the point is, there
12 wasn't one that was off by itself. They should have
13 all been together.
14 The location in picture 148 is the correct
15 place for all of the packages to have been?
16 PATSY RAMSEY: Right.
17 TOM HANEY: Before we go on, could we just
18 talk briefly about the packages, these were presents
19 for whom, the ones that were left in there?
0392
20 PATSY RAMSEY: I believe for, you know, I
21 held some back for Burke's birthday which is in
22 January.
23 TRIP DEMUTH: Okay.
24 TOM HANEY: So that could have been that.
25 PATSY RAMSEY: Yeah. I don't remember what
0393
1 was in them.
2 TOM HANEY: Would any of these packages be
3 opened?
4 PATSY RAMSEY: Probably. Well, see, these
5 came up, I was at FAO Schwartz in New York when
6 JonBenet and I were up there for a trip, and I had them
7 sent back to Boulder and they wrapped them, free gift
8 wrapping.
9 So like right here it looks like I kind of
10 peeled a little back to see what was in it because I
11 couldn't remember what was in them.
12 TRIP DEMUTH: If the wrapping has been undone
13 partially, that was --
14 PATSY RAMSEY: I probably would have done
15 that to peek to see what was in there.
16 TRIP DEMUTH: Okay.
17 TOM HANEY: Where did you do the bulk of your
18 Christmas shopping, the items you put in there?
19 PATSY RAMSEY: Well, all of this stuff right
20 here was from FAO Schwartz in New York. JonBenet got a
21 bicycle that year. I got a university bicycle, and she
22 got a twin doll which I mail ordered, and --
23 TOM HANEY: Did she get to ride her bike?
24 PATSY RAMSEY: She got to ride her bike.
25 TOM HANEY: Christmas day?
Previously, I had not considered that the torn packages could have originally been under the Christmas tree and moved to the WC later?
BR and his toys and games:
Christmas night JR helps him assemble a toy before retiring. Years later, BR lets out that on Christmas night he went downstairs for a toy after the family went to bed. There are the already mentioned torn open gifts from FAO Schwarz about which PR lied. One of these presents was a Lego set. After JB's death BR concentrated on Nintendo. In this vein, BR told Dr. Bernhard that he goes 'beep-beep'. Also during this interview, he covers his face with a board game when the questioning becomes uncomfortable. During the funeral, he and DS scampered about the cemetery. During the memorial, he played with a toy airplane. There is the speculation that BR poked JB's body with his toy train tracks. His Train Room is close to the WC. His Swiss Army knife was found near the corpse. There are contradictions about BR receiving a bike for Christmas.
Is it known if the gifts in the WC actually were opened up?
This is what I reckon, same Christmas themed FAO Schwarz paper.Previously, I had not considered that the torn packages could have originally been under the Christmas tree and moved to the WC later?
Could be Burke wanting to explain away some detail in the then upcoming CBS Documentary, e.g.knife, who knows?BR lets out that on Christmas night he went downstairs for a toy after the family went to bed.
Not if he says he got one and Patsy purchased one from University Bicycles downtown Boulder.There are contradictions about BR receiving a bike for Christmas.
As far as I know. No actual details have ever been released beyond what can be gleaned from the BPD interviews.Is it known if the gifts in the WC actually were opened up?
Sentiment aside, it looks like Patsy ligature asphyxiated JonBenet, her fibers are embedded into the ligature knotting, which includes JonBenet's hair.
So there is nothing dramatic about JonBenet being left in the wine-cellar along with the Partially Opened gifts, beyond putting distance between the primary crime-scene upstairs and the fake crime-scene downstairs in the basement.
"your gift is ME" implies that JB thought of herself as a commodity due to her pageant experience. While sweet, this sentiment seems out of kilter. "I don't feel pretty." also reflects the importance of appearances that PR And Nedra had instilled in her.

UKGuy,
Do these two statements actually belong together?
2000-08-28: Patsy Ramsey Interview - Atlanta, Georgia - August 28, 2000 (Screen Capture on left is from "CBS 48 Hours Investigates - Searching for a Killer" 10/04/2002)
Questioning in regards to said sweater/coat:
15 MR. KANE: Well, I am telling
16 you, it is -- is it conclusive in the sense
17 that, that there is something unique about it
18 that could only come from a particular item,
19 then the answer is no.
20 Is it that it is identical in all
21 respects to the fibers off of the jacket,
22 then the answer is yes.
23 Now, does that mean it is
24 conclusive?
25 MR. WOOD: It doesn't sound like
0188
1 it to me.
2 MR. KANE: Then you have got your answer.
I will continue to consider the scarf left on the wet bar and not taken into evidence as a source of said fiber evidence. It is a possibility.
Possibly not. I was writing fast trying to compress sentences, so its come out poorly.Do these two statements actually belong together?
I've never seen any test results that match the scarf fibers to those on JonBenet.I will continue to consider the scarf left on the wet bar and not taken into evidence as a source of said fiber evidence. It is a possibility.

I'm pretty sure the scarf fibers will have been examined and compared with those found on JonBenet, could be they are not releasing the results?
UKGuy,
They never took the scarf into evidence. Why would it then be tested?
Presumably if it has not been tested then it's difficult to link it to the case.
Not many people are going accept the intruder wore clothing from the same factory that manufactured Patsy's fibers.
UKGuy,
How could they possibly know what to take as evidence and what not too? Since they didn’t have anything in their possession that matched the fiber evidence they later requested PR sweater/coat.
There was no intruder.
They just take fiber samples from whatever they think is relevant then see if it matches with fibers at the crime-scene.How could they possibly know what to take as evidence and what not too?
Sure, I'm just underlining that with a probability estimate that any intruders fibers should not only match that of both parents, but end up in a basement rooom few knew about.There was no intruder.
Tea served in a glass is Eastern European/Russian, but the Rs are neither. Caffeine seems unsuitable as a night time drink for kids who have to be up at the crack of dawn, or was it herbal? But how long was the glass there on the bar? It's possible JB could have had pineapple from somewhere else than the now notorious bowl, and that was cleaned up?
ST worked in earnest. He was limited by higher ups all along. Although, I think that he could have played his hand more slyly. There were many questions that the Rs were never asked. He didn't use the media to his advantage.
Kolar teases with the torn packages. His wording is vague; but, the inclusion of a photo of them in the WC indicates that he considers them meaningful. He's right - Why would PR lie about them?
They just take fiber samples from whatever they think is relevant then see if it matches with fibers at the crime-scene.
They said they matched Patsy's jacket fibers to those found in the knotting of the ligature and on the sticky side of the duct-tape.
Similarly for JR his fibers matched those found on JonBenet's thighs.
The R's can contest the fiber evidence on the basis they are common industrial fibers, etc. Yet the one place they should not be is on JonBenet's person inside a little used wine-cellar.
UKGuy,
Not taking the soiled pj’s found in JB’s bedroom (and to big for her) i.g. bloomies size 12 wasn’t considered relevant either.
2000-08-28: Patsy Ramsey Interview - Atlanta, Georgia - August 28, 2000
3 MR. LEVIN: I think that is
4 probably fair. Based on the state of the
5 art scientific testing, we believe the fibers
6 from her jacket were found in the paint
7 tray, were found tied into the ligature found
8 on JonBenet's neck, were found on the blanket
9 that she is wrapped in, were found on the
10 duct tape that is found on the mouth, and
11 the question is, can she explain to us how
12 those fibers appeared in those places that
13 are associated with her daughter's death.
14 And I understand you are not going to answer
15 those.
ST deposition 9-21-01 gives a great statement here in regards to PR fibers:
The
19 red fibers, we're talking about the red
20 fibers off the duct tape, right, the ones
21 that Mr. Hoffman asked you about?
22 A. Yes.
23 Q. That were consistent or a likely
24 match with Patsy Ramsey's jacket?
25 A. Yes.
251
1 Q. That was the red and black and
2 gray jacket that she was wearing?
3 A. I've always heard it referred to
4 as a red and black jacket, yes.
5 Q. It's the one in the photograph,
6 though, that was produced where they went
7 back a year afterwards and tried to find what
8 they were wearing, right?
9 A. Yes.
10 Q. Were you aware of the fact that
11 Priscilla White owned an identical jacket,
12 that in fact Patsy Ramsey bought her jacket
13 because she liked Priscilla White's so much?
14 A. Until you told me that right now,
15 no.
16 Q. So I assume that no request, that
17 you're aware of, was ever made for the Whites
18 to give articles of clothing with respect to
19 this investigation?
20 A. They may have been asked to give
21 clothing; I'm unaware of that.
22 Q. There were no black fibers that
23 were found on the duct tape that were said
24 to be consistent with the fibers on Patsy
25 Ramsey's red and black jacket, were there?
252
1 A. It's my understanding that the
2 four fibers were red in color.
Other key evidence connected with the duct tape was trace evidence which had adhered to the surface of the tape. CellMark laboratories, who conducted the testing on the duct tape, found, red, blue, pink, purple and brown cloth fibers, and animal fur probably beaver."
You mean her labia not her thighs don’t you?
JR fiber evidence came from a specific item. PR evidence linking her jacket were consistent.
Yes, although the precise details have not been released.You mean her labia not her thighs don’t you?
Both parents fiber samples link them directly to the wine-cellar.JR fiber evidence came from a specific item. PR evidence linking her jacket were consistent.
Yes, dereliction of duty when it comes to CSI gathering the evidence, also they never sealed her bedroom.Not taking the soiled pj’s found in JB’s bedroom (and to big for her) i.g. bloomies size 12 wasn’t considered relevant either.
PR showed awareness of the importance of fiber evidence by wearing the same clothes as on the 25th, and then throwing herself on the body in front of witnesses. Her fibers being on the ligature fashioned with her paint brush is hard to explain away. This is also pertains to the JR fibers. As far is known, there are no BR fibers. Taken as a whole, this points away from BDI? Besides the fibers, there is the animal fur. Some think that the fur was from PR's boots. Would she be wearing these during the staging?
When the staging was finalized is impossible to comprehend. To speculate - Why not thoroughly wash JB down? Was there not enough time? Or should this not fit in with the kidnapping gone wrong scenario? The fiber transfer would have been mutual. Whatever JB was wearing would come off also. This would be difficult to determine, especially as BPD didn't know for what to look.
Perhaps this is mistaken, but I assume that the urine stain outside the WC indicates the location where JB was asphyxiated? If it were first, the head blow occurred at least 40 min. earlier. The blow could have happened anywhere in the house. Since she was still alive after being struck, dragging her about could be behind the bruises/abrasions found on the body. If she were moved after dying, the autopsy would show this? Only BR would have cause to drag the body. But if he dragged JB down the stairs, there would be physical evidence of this?
The GJ indictments are ambiguous. The peril to which her parents subjected her could mean the murder. Couldn't it also be the SA? We don't know how the GJ considered the SA. Given the media frenzy which would ensue if a GJ member were to speak out decisively, would the DA office want to pursue this person once the genie were out of the bottle? Doing so would only draw more attention. This GJ member would be seen as a victim of telling truth to power. When it comes to PR, in the USA one cannot be sued for libeling a dead person. So why is ST so cautious nowadays?
Both Patsy's and John's fiber deposits link them directly to the wine-cellar, as it is a homicide crime-scene they should not be there!PR showed awareness of the importance of fiber evidence by wearing the same clothes as on the 25th, and then throwing herself on the body in front of witnesses. Her fibers being on the ligature fashioned with her paint brush is hard to explain away. This is also pertains to the JR fibers. As far is known, there are no BR fibers. Taken as a whole, this points away from BDI? Besides the fibers, there is the animal fur. Some think that the fur was from PR's boots. Would she be wearing these during the staging?
JonBenet may have been whacked on the head first and collapsed outside the wine-cellar door, followed by a urine release?Perhaps this is mistaken, but I assume that the urine stain outside the WC indicates the location where JB was asphyxiated? If it were first, the head blow occurred at least 40 min. earlier. The blow could have happened anywhere in the house. Since she was still alive after being struck, dragging her about could be behind the bruises/abrasions found on the body. If she were moved after dying, the autopsy would show this? Only BR would have cause to drag the body. But if he dragged JB down the stairs, there would be physical evidence of this?
Yes, lividity marking would demonstrate this.If she were moved after dying, the autopsy would show this?
If Patsy's jacket is made from polyester, Springer has published an encyclopedia with 7,500 different fiber types. Point being the fibers can all be identified. The FBI have a storage facility where they keep all their samples, they do the same with ink, in case somebody fakes some important documents.
Yes, dereliction of duty when it comes to CSI gathering the evidence, also they never sealed her bedroom.
It would be nice to have all the results released so we can see what the distribution of Ramsey dna looks like across the crime-scene, e.g. is there any of BR's touch-dna anywhere on JonBenet or her clothing, apart from the Barbie Nightgown?
