From the JonBenet Ramsey autopsy report a glaring item of evidence has seemingly gone unnoticed. When coroner John Meyer described the length of 1/4 inch white nylon cord ligature that had bound JonBenet's wrists together, but which John Ramsey admits he untied, Meyer described it this way:
"Tied loosely around the right wrist, overlying the sleeve of the shirt, is a white cord. At the knot there is one tail end which measures 5.5 inches in length with a frayed end. The other tail of the knot measures 15.5 inches in length and ends in a double loop knot. This end of the cord is also frayed."
The coroner, of course, didn't explain the purpose of the double loop knot, since his job was to describe only what was in front of him. But there appears to be no purpose for the double loop knot other than to attach the two loops to JonBenet's ankles -- one around each ankle.
There was only so much cord on this length. With the wrists bound together and the ankles bound together with the same length of cord, it means JonBenet had likely been in a semi hog-tied position. Her hands and her feet were bound close to each other. To accomplish this the body had to be on its back and bent sharply at the waist until the legs were pointing straight up to meet the hands, which we know were pointing directly over her head.
(To help illustrate this position, draw a picture of a person doing a jack-knife dive into a swimming pool; then turn your drawing upside down. OR draw a picture of a person standing erect and bending at the waist while trying to touch his toes; then turn the picture upside down.)
IOW, JonBenet was apparently posed in a grotesque position for shock value. Her back was on the floor, legs and arms over her head, and held into this position by the nylon cord between the ankles and the wrists (wrist ligature on one end and the double loop knot for the ankles on the other end). The cord was then likely looped over the back of a piece of heavy furniture or a stationary object to keep the body from falling over.
IMO the double loop knot is convincing evidence JonBenet was probably sadisically posed. There appears to be no other explanation for the two loops on the double loop knot the coroner described in the autopsy report.
(To help illustrate what I'm talking about, I would very much appreciate someone posting a crimescene photo of the two cords after they were taken from JonBenet's body. Thanks.)
