Yes, this is true Holdontoyourhat, it is a great shame IMO, that BlueCrab posts his theories in such a way as to present his assumptions as fact.Holdontoyourhat said:The double-loop knot wasn't necessarily used on JBR's ankles. The wrists were not necessarily bound by the single loop. JR didn't necessarily 'cut down' JBR, so no loop necessarily 'relaxed' and 'fell off the left wrist. These are all assumptions.
The only fact is that the larger loop was loosely hanging on the right wrist. All else is conjecture.
The autopsy report states that there was one length of cord wrapped extremely tightly around her neck and another length of cord tied loosely around her right wrist, garotte4 is the photo of the one Meyer removed from her neck and garotte5 is the one he removed from her right wrist.
He described the cord around her right wrist as having two ends, one of which was 15.5 inches long with a double loop knot at the end. The garotte5 photo showa one loop of the knot being larger than the other but both being smaller than the one taken from her right wrist.
If you go to the Sundance site and look at the 2 autopsy photos of her right wrist with the cord still around it, you can see the knot and one end on the inner side of her wrist. On the outer side of her wrist there looks to be a second loop on the loop around her wrist. It looks to me as though Dr Meyer would have undone that second loop in order to sufficiently loosen the cord and enable him to remove the loop around her right wrist. This would appear to have resulted in there being just one loop removed from her right wrist.
I think John must have loosened and removed the loop from her left wrist, but did not completely undo the second loop that was on it, so that when this loop was removed it remained as a double loop.
BlueCrab thinks the single loop was around both wrists and the double loop was around her ankles. But looking at the 4 photos I dont agree and taking into account Johns description of how he untied her wrists and Meyers description of the cords in the autopsy report, I dont think there was any cord around her ankles, I think there was a double loop around each wrist, but Meyer undid the second loop from the right wrist loop when he loosened it to take it off the wrist.
