I know this post was a long way up thread. But could you tell me what you mean by upstairs and downstairs so I understand what you mean.
Do you mean upstairs as the main floor from the basement. Or upstairs from the main floor where B & JB bedrooms were?
I am assuming you do not mean the 3rd floor with the parents bedroom.
I saw you mentioned this later and I am confused where you think things happened regarding upstairs and downstairs.
I initially thought you meant upstairs as at the kitchen nook as compared to downstairs the basement but then it was upstairs in JB bedroom with the blood.
I know it is me just not understanding but I want to understand what you mean. TIA
Also regarding a post further on I think JB could have gotten her nightwear on and had her hair tied up and then come down for the snack. I have long hair and sometimes wear the top part up but always put the bottom part in another hair scrunchie to keep it out of the way. I could see PR doing that to keep it out of the pineapple for example. When I cook all my hair is back.
Charterhouse,
Basically upstairs is everything above the basement. Why, because it helps to partition the crime-scene into two parts. i.e. one where the actual crime takes place and another where the staged crime-scene is enacted.
I reckon the staging confuses people and leads them astray in terms of what they consider in their RDI theory?
Four things need to be explained: 1. Was JonBenet sexually assaulted, 2. Where was she whacked on the head. 3. Where was she ligature aspyxiated, 4. Why was she relocated to the wine-cellar?
In my BDI I suggest elements 1-3 take place upstairs, i.e. a combination of BR and JonBenet's bedroom.
For 4. the simple answer is to remove forensic evidence, since the R's always assumed she would be found wherever they placed her in the house?

I agree. Yet JonBenet with her hair tied up means something more than the R's version of events.
It suggests another version which will include the pineaple snack, and implies JonBenet intending to go to bed, the magic question is which bed and which bedroom?
Although my assumed BDI might be incorrect, I reckon it is the basis on which to build all RDI theories since all theories must answer those basic four questions?
So you could replace BDI with JDI, since the roles are interchangable, as the same aswers are reached.
Similarly with PDI, except the sexual assault becomes decidedly more difficult to explain away.
So to recap, BR sexually assaults JonBenet, he restrains her manually by the neck causing coma. JR whacks JonBenet on the head with the barbell to simulate an intruder assault, this fails in the visual sense. JR then applies a ligature to JonBenet's neck resulting in her death.
Minutes later JonBenet is moved down to the basement where PR applies the paintbrush to the ligature, so to enhance the staging, along with other forensic items which if left upstairs would give the game away to expected investigators?
So the trick is to ignore the staged evidence and concentrate on upstairs and JonBenet's asumed relationship with her abuser.
Since it is the abuse that was being hidden not her death!
