Cottonstar,
Possibly, the army knife might be there because Patsy used it, JR used or whatever it does not link uniquely to BR, his touch dna on the gown, might be cross-transfer, i.e. its just circumstantial evidence, neat if you favor BDI otherwise its just noise.
The more intersting anecdote is Kolar's account of how the Basement gifts were opened, i.e. who opened them, where, when, and how?
Note: we have differing accounts from JR, who says PR never knew they were in the wine-cellar, PR who says she opened them for a peek, this is after she wrapped them, what no name tags, then BR says he opened them Christmas Day Afternoon.
Where were the gifts located, I reckon they were in the wine-cellar as part of an evidence dump/deposit otherwise why not put JonBenet's bike down into the wine-cellar insted of the Barnhill's there was plenty room, so where was Burke's bike hidden and where did it go?
IMO conflct between JonBenet and Burke over Christmas Gifts running up to and throughout Christmas Day might explain the above better?
Bearing in mind Patsy refers to arguments with JonBenet and that she disregarded some gifts adding also we have no photographs taken on Christmas Morning, why : can only be to hide particular gifts, since we all know who was present in the house !
What I'm thinking is that gifts that would have been visible in the Christmas Morning photographs became part of the wine-cellar deposit, mixed in with some that Patsy had wrapped outside of the wine-cellar?
