"Erotic asphyxiation" was Dr. Wecht's theory in his book Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey. I think he still favors that one.
KoldKase,
Dr. Wecht's theory, may be alike Steve Thomas'
Toilet Rage theory, a crowd pleasing, book filler?
Auto Erotic asphyxiation deaths are normally
solo events, accidents caused by the individual placing pleasure above common sense resulting in the person hanging themselves.
JonBenet at six-years old would be unlikely to be pursuing such ends. Also the knotting in the garrote was fixed so would not allow any control over the pressure applied to the neck.
IMO the garrote is simply staging as are JonBenet's clothes and placement into the wine-cellar. JonBenet's sexual assault and consequent bleeding was cleaned up and hidden from view, prior to her being placed into the wine-cellar. Not something an intruder or intruder defined staging requires as part of the game plan? Nearly everything found in the wine-cellar relating to JonBenet's death generates external parallel accounts e.g. Patsy redressing a sleeping JonBenet in the longjohns, she has to be sleeping else she would demand her pajamas?
But what of the size-12's why no premediated account for those, because its likely that it was John who redressed JonBenet in both the size-12's and the longjohns. How so, because when Patsy was asked to account for the size-12's she lied, and lied e.g. agreeing that any pack of size-12's purchased in NY should still be in the house, but the BPD had just searched the house from top to bottom, then she was told no size-12's were discovered in JonBenet's Panty Drawer. Recognizing how that might look in the witness box, a pack of Bloomingdales size-12's were miraculously discovered in some unspecified packing crate.
Looks to me like as per JonBenet's chronic and acute molestation injuries, she complained when the secret santa paid a visit, and he probably aroused and impatient whacked JonBenet, she screamed and he retaliated by throttling her, later she was garroted to obsfucate the marks on her neck.
JonBenet's homicide is nearly all staging, possibly even her acute sexual assault, masking any recent molestation, her head injury may even be staging, an attempt to offer a cause of death, with this not visible, the garrote is added, apparently by Patsy?
