The lack of charges does not necessarily mean that the evidence isn't there. Alex Hunter is and was a COWARD who did not have the stones or the spine to charge JR & PR with anything. I believe he didn't want the bad publicity for Boulder, because Burke couldn't be charged but the parents certainly could have been. It would mean an ugly trial and a family even more devastated than they already had been. He chose not to charge. And every DA since then has maintained the same position. No one wants to be "that guy" who goes after JR and BR now that 20 years have gone by. And so justice for JonBenet will never happen here on God's green earth.
I agree.
One of the main problems is the crime scene was so compromised from the beginning. This is the exact reason no one, no matter their wealth or status, should be handled with kid gloves. No one, including PR, needed to be at that home except for JR and the cops. The ransom note was addressed to John so PR should have been shuttled elsewhere. When the supposed call didn't occur, JR should have been taken to the station for further questioning. IF they had done what should have been done and tear that house apart from the minute they got there, the body would have been found immediately and JR and PR would have been in jail where they belonged. If anything can be learned from this case it's that no one should be handled with kid gloves. Follow procedure and you can't go wrong. The case was bungled from the beginning but I still think it should have been tried. Regardless of the outcome, at least justice would have been attempted. AH dropped the ball and ML kicked the ball across the field. I still think though there is evidence that wasn't corrupted that can be used in a trial.
PR and JR had people over at the house basically already mourning JonBenet. They knew what lay in the basement and knew that she would be found. PR needed an audience for her drama to play out in front of and witnesses to the body being found. I just can't get over the fact that a officer went in BR room and only shined the flashlight in there. No turning on lights looking for JonBenet. Who cares that her brother was "asleep". Wake his butt up and get him to safety. Even the officers overlooked the fact that Burke was allowed to stay in his room alone when a supposed kidnapper willing to behead a child was on the loose. That was a huge tell. The GJ did see enough to believe they were guilty of something. I wish they would release the rest of the GJ findings.
There was never an intruder. BR stated in his interview that the doors locked when you closed them. We have doors like that too. If you don't have your keys, you're in trouble. He said he was with his dad when his dad broke the downstairs window that summer to get inside the home. His dad climbed through and opened the door to let Burke in. Some point after JR climbing through the window, a spider formed a web in the corner of that window sill. It was never disturbed after it was made. It became a cobweb full of debris. Remaining in the corner of that window. The spider was long gone due to winter so it was an old web. ANYONE climbing through that window would have shredded that web. The window didn't open fully so there was no way to climb through the window without disturbing the web and climbing back out using a suitcase that wasn't even turned in a safe direction to use as leverage to climb back out. It would have fell over the way it was found. The only way to have used it properly would have been flat against the wall. But still you have the cobweb that was left undamaged in the corner of the window.
That night it was noted that the outside lights that usually were on, were off. Lights in rooms in the home that are usually on at night were off. Flashlights were noted being used in the home that night. Neighbor heard a scream too. Yet no one called 911? Terrible neighbors if you ask me! Something was attracting the attention of neighbors that night to notice these things. What was obvious to me is the family had to have turned all of those lights off or they would have immediately suspected something if they weren't the ones to turn them all off.
PR wrote the ransom note.
the tDNA found on JonBenet's panties and long johns were from the manufacturing process of the panties. They were brand new when they were put on her during the staging. the panties obviously came into contact with the long johns because they were over them. That's how the tDNA from the same persons were found on both the panties and long johns.
I am starting to think the cellulose fibers found in JonBenet's vaginal area may be from the manufacturing process of baby wipes.

If they found JonBenet bleeding from the vaginal area and knew BR was the culprit its possible that they cleaned her liberally inside as best they could to hopefully get rid of any DNA and blood evidence. But it can also be argued that she may have been wiped at some point and the cellulose was on the outside, when someone digitally penetrated her, they forced the cellulose up further inside. Just a thought.
Maybe this is the reason that in the CBS documentary, they didn't feel there was a sexual assault. That the real damage was done during the staging. To cover for the digital penetration they used a different object to jab her with. If the cellulose was from possibly baby wipes, then the internal damage could be from something completely different that the wooden paint brush on the ligature. The person or persons who moved her body to the basement outside of the wine cellar and applied the final ligature and tied it was the actual person who killed JonBenet. I don't even think they realized she was still alive although just barely. That is when her bladder released the last bit of urine. and she soiled the panties and long johns. I doubt they even noticed as they wrapped her in the blankets and staged her body with the loose wrist ligatures.
All the other fibers and stuff found in the vaginal area was probably from the area where they cleaned her up. PR wasn't the greatest house keeper so there's no telling how much random stuff was in the carpet. Anything that could get stuck on a shoe from anywhere can be tracked into your home.
Picture if you will: You go to town running errands. You have on a shoe or boot with a bottom that has a tread. Everywhere you walk that day you are picking up all kinds of various fibers and objects including hairs. You go home and go about your daily activities and you unknowingly track all of these strange fibers, objects, and hairs throughout your home.
If someone is laying unconscious on the carpet naked and someone is rushing trying to clean them up in the dark with a flashlight, they will miss a lot of things left behind on the body. They pull up the new huge panties and wiggle her into the long johns enclosing all of the strange artifacts into the area.
Looking at the Ramsey's behavior after the 911 call is also telling. WHY in the heck would you leave your only other child upstairs "asleep" while your other child has been kidnapped from your home just down the hall from the other sleeping child. (We know now BR wasn't asleep all night and in fact admitted on DP he was downstairs when everyone was asleep and he "Maybe" ate pineapple with JonBenet.) Then they ship their only other child BR off to a friends home without concern for his safety and no police protection. Only the person who would know there was no further danger and risk to the surviving child would make this decision. A person or persons who knew exactly where JonBenet was and that there was no intruder. That BR wasn't in danger. Why would you allow him to leave a home with a police presence to another home without protection? I mean we are talking about a "small foreign faction" here. They could easily kidnap the other child since they left the first one staged in the wine cellar dead.... right?
An intruder theory does not hold water at all. This crime imho has always pointed to the family. I've felt from day one it was BR. I remember my family saying "But he's just a 9 year old kid!" My response was... "And she was only 6 years old and a wisp of a child. Who says a 9 year old is not capable of such brutality?" Eventually they came to the same conclusion. You have to take out of your mind the age for a moment. Even another child of the same age could cause a death like this. The prodding with possible train tracks and digital penetration screams of a child like behavior and exploration. I think BR did try to strangle her and thought he was successful. Only for the parents to find her naked possibly from the waste down with some blood on the vagina and a ligature loose around her neck with obvious ligature marks left behind. Still alive but just barely. Probably the parents didn't even realize she was still alive, although brain dead. They clean her up redress her and carry her down to the basement. They either use the same ligature but actually secure it this time (which causes her death) or uses a similar type of ligature that was nearby.
IMHO there was never an intruder and it's offensive to me that they tried to blame it on so many friends and acquaintances. It's disgusting honestly. The whole case was botched but I STILL feel they should try the case. If for no other reason than to get to the answers. If JR was the actual person who applied the final ligature, he committed first degree murder. Even if BR did the majority of the damage to her. Her life would have ended by his hands soon enough, but someone applied the final ligature that caused her to die. They did so while trying to cover up what they assumed was a FDM. She would have died from the head injury. The ligature just finished the process. JMOO but I think they could stick a FDM charge on JR and convict him. I think if they retest all of the evidence they will have enough solid evidence to charge him. [/FONT]
