I still go with a timeline like this:
10 pm- return home
10-11pm- BR plays with toys (Parents admit this) and JBR changes for bed. It is entirely possible that she was awake, though sleepy, and PR did help her dress for bed- the long johns could have been put on her then and need not have been done just for the staging. It is something I myself had done with my own child at that age. When we arrived home and she fell asleep in the car, I woke her to walk in the house, often just letting her sleep in whatever shirt she was wearing (especially if it was cotton knit, like the red turtleneck or white Gap top) and putting only pajama bottoms or thermals on her. That very thing may actually have happened with JBR.
JBR and/or BR have a bedtime snack, with JBR consuming the pineapple. The tea may or may not have been consumed at this time. PR was a sloppy housekeeper and it was well known that she didn't keep a tidy kitchen and put things away. That glass and tea bag may have been there previously. The tea bag in the glass doesn't mean that the glass was used for tea. If a mug was used, the teabag could still have been put into an empty glass just because it was there.
11 pm-1 am- BR goes to bed, possiblly JR goes to bed, PR remains up and dressed from the party as she fusses around taking care of last-minute details for the trip(s). JBR may have gone to bed, but PR probably tried to get her to go to the bathroom and she may have refused.
1 am- or thereabouts- whatever events led up to the death of JBR transpire around now. JBR possiby calls PR after soiling her bed (yet again) after refusing to go to the bathroom before bed. This may have been what set PR off dragging her into the bathroom and the rest- well, we all have our own ideas about what happened next.
2 am- by this time JBR is dead. The parents have begun to form their coverup plans, the ligature has already been devised and applied (so that when police find a dead child in the home, they cay SEE what caused her death and not probe further. WRONG!
Over the next 3 hours, the panicked parents write the note, and piece together what their story will be, and at this time, R friends MAY have been called over; phone calls to lawyer friend Mike Bynum and others may take place at this time- 3 hours really isn't that much time in a situation like this.
By 5:45 am the Rs are ready to make that 911 call. BR, having been awoken by the commotion, walks in during the call. He is sent back to bed, the Rs unaware that he has been recorded on the 911 call.
6:10 am- Showtime, By this time, Officer French has arrived and the events that we know all too well unfold.
DeeDee249,
Your timeline might be stretched a little, but only two people really know!
10-11pm- BR plays with toys (Parents admit this) and JBR changes for bed.
Yes this is the parents story, it may be fabricated to remove John and Burke from JonBenet's presence e.g. ingorance. Also Burke is on record stating he saw JonBenet
walk into the house. So we know both John and Burke later changed their stories to match the Ramsey version of events that other people are now using to base their theories on?
The evidence strongly suggests that JonBenet never made it to her bed, nor dressed for it, since the staged evidence is arranged to portray a bedtime abduction with JonBenet still wearing her white-gap top, and below the waist redressed to
hide something?
That is, if JonBenet had originally been in bed, then why not, during the redressing phase of the staging, take the pajamas from her bed and place these onto her?
JBR and/or BR have a bedtime snack, with JBR consuming the pineapple. The tea may or may not have been consumed at this time.
mmm, well Burke's fingerprints were on the pineapple bowl, so until its rebutted I'll assume Burke was present at some point during JonBenet's pineapple snack? The pineapple snack is what nearly blows the Ramsey's version of events out of the water, since at this point JonBenet is patently alive, and walking about. So that she is asleep in bed then abducted is no longer the only theory on the table.
The real issue is one of timing and how soon did the pineapple snack start after arriving back? I would suggest by 10:30 pm or earlier since JonBenet ate little at the White's. It would take JonBenet all of 10 minutes to settle down, e.g. 5 minutes to dump her clothes and do any changes then 5 minutes down to the kitchen? I reckon by 10:45 pm JonBenet is snacking, and Burke has sipped his tea. Note these are personal treats, not mandatory meals, so it suggests the family atmosphere was convivial.
Whatever happened next, I reckon JonBenet never ever made it to her bed, maybe someone else's bed, but not her own, and not wearing any pajamas, which were still on her bed the next day. Which is inconsistent with Patsy's account of affairs. e.g. key aspects of the staging conflict with the forensic evidence
and witness statements.
Speculating on what occured next:
JonBenet may have gone down to the basement then she was killed?
JonBenet may have shared Burke's bed during which it was Burke who developed some form of
Toilet Rage because JonBenet wet the bed, or they played
doctors leading to some dispute, and Burke whacking JonBenet?
JonBenet may have shared Johns bed, leading to some dispute and JonBenet's death, with John effecting some initial staging and telling Patsy some fabricated story, thus inducing her to assist with the staging?
JonBenet was involved in Patsy's version of the
Toilet Rage theory?
This latter theory seems to me to be the weakest since patently Patsy knew JonBenet had just consumed pineapple and milk, high in fuid content, so bedwetting or a toilet incident seems high on the list. I reckon Patsy would have been resigned to this occurring , more so, if JonBenet had been drinking coke or similar at the White's.
