I read that as Amy's bedroom door already was open.
Amy's mother had approached Amy's bedroom for whatever reason, where the door already was open. She heard whispering and entered the bedroom.
We might assume the whispering was what caused Amy's mother to (perhaps awaken and) approach the doorway or initially it could have been rustling or other activity sounds and then she heard whispering when she was kust outside the bedroom.
Regardless, I do not find this point as exculpatory since the perp "wanting to get better at being undetected" is a different reality than expecting the perp to have "
gotten better at being undetected".
We might expect the perp to want to become better at his MO but in reality many typically-unheard noises that occur during daylight hours might seem quite amplified and noticeable if they occurred during the dead of night.
No matter how hard one might try, some actions and movements sound off with a finite noise / level.
2- DNA I hate even typing this, but if he performered oral sex on Amy, they should have his DNA in CODIS and that will either confirm or deny involvement in JonBenet's death. Since he has never been named a suspect, I believe there was no dna match.
I've not yet located information regarding the "Amy" case and collected DNA. It is possible there was no viable DNA sample found and that case, too, might remain as in unsloved status.
Personally, I think Amy's attacker got caught the first time he attempted this and he had nothing to do with JonBenet's death. I believe this because we have not heard anything that connects his dna to other cases. If I'm wrong and he managed to commit the crime against Amy without leaving dna, someone please point me to a link.

I do not believe the "Amy" intruder was ever identified, much less caught.

Peterson says Amy's mother heard whispering, and proceeded through the doorway, and saw a person, who just brushed her aside and quickly made his escape by jumping out a second-floor window.
"
He was like a ghost," recalls Amy's father. "We
couldn't figure out where he came from, or where he went."
By the time the Boulder police arrived, the man was long gone. Because the intruder had gotten in and out of the house so easily,
Amy's father began to think this wasn't the first time he had done something like this.
"
The first thing that occurred to us was that it was the parallel to the Ramsey case because it was exactly the same situation," says Amy's father, who even told the Boulder police about the Dance West studio connection to the Ramsey case. "I think someone, somewhere, drew a bead on her. Obviously had us under surveillance that we were not aware of."
The studio has since gone out of business and been torn down, but photos show that there was a
balcony overlooking the dance floor where parents and
anyone else could come in and watch the children.
But
Amy's dad says that when he told the police detectives about the information he had, "they were completely uninterested in it."
"They were very frustrated," says Peterson.
"It was difficult to get them to do anything much less, you know, beyond taking a report."
But not only did the
Boulder police dismiss any link to the Ramsey case, they didn't even bother to use the mother's eyewitness description to make a composite sketch. That's when Amy's family hired Peterson. What he has uncovered in his investigation may not only solve Amy's case, but also help lead to the capture of JonBenet's killer.
"This person is someone with a huge ego, someone who views himself as bold," says Peterson, who believes there are too many parallels between Amy's case and JonBenet's murder.
Both JonBenet and Amy were sexually assaulted by an intruder at night in their homes -- within nine months of each other.
Fiber evidence shows that JonBenet's attacker may have been wearing black, as was the man who attacked Amy. And there's the fact that both girls took lessons at the Dance West studio.
But Boulder police never found any connections to the murder of JonBenet.
That last sentence is confusing as it is incomplete. Was DNA found at the Amy scene and failed to match DNA found on JBR?
If so, I have yet to find an article or report stating so.
I suspect if DNA was found at the Amy scene and it was exculpatory as to the JBR case we'd know about it at this point.
