Sorry Jay, it's crude, but I'm making a point that could be important to this case. Although there could be many reasons to have circumferential abrasions on one's neck, such marks ARE indicative of EA or AEA. It's the first thing a parent should suspect when such marks are noticed on the neck of their child.
JonBenet had such marks, and the device that caused the marks was even left on her neck (the ligature). IMO JonBenet had been forced to be an EA participant, and it is what killed her.

BlueCrab; EA what? ... do you have info on this. IMHO this is a possibility FWIW?!
IMHO the mission/challenge/common sense thing to do for JBR is: sieve thru the Bull Sh.t(all books/info) non-fiction + fiction...
in search of the truth...
Death of a Little Princess : The Tragic Story of the Murder of JonBenet Ramsey by Carlton Smith
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...-0496012-2512731?v=glance&vi=customer-reviews
Carlton Smith and St. Martin's Press had this book printed and ready less than nine months after the death of JonBenét Ramsey, the six-year-old beauty pageant contestant who was found dead inside her parents' Boulder, Colorado, home on the morning after Christmas, 1996. It should therefore come as little surprise, then, that the book is of truly abysmal quality. From the second page, Smith makes it very clear that Patsy Ramsey, the child's mother, is entirely innocent of the crimes--despite the fact that the police seem to consider her a suspect. Yet nowhere in the book does Smith do anything to support his repeated claims that she is innocent. Smith also makes it clear that John Ramsey, JonBenét's father, is innocent and offers no evidence for this claim, either.
What is probably to be expected from such a hastily published book is the utter lack of information that is contained. Though Smith does provide some background on the various people in the drama, the majority of the book seems to be devoted to repeating newspaper accounts and press conferences. Smith does offer editorial comments along the way, condemning feminists, for example, or the media (of which he fails to realize he is a member). But Smith's insight is at times egregiously misguided as, for example, when he states that the "murder" of a six-year-old child would not have generated such nationwide interest a generation ago (p. 167). Apparently, Smith is unaware of the Lindbergh kidnaping, to cite but a single example of a well-publicized murder case involving a child.
Finally, "Death of a Little Princess" is factually wrong in spots. Smith states as fact, for example, that the "ransom note" demanded the ransom to be paid entirely in $100 bills. The truth (as anyone who has seen a photo of the note can say) is different. While this fact may not be of the greatest significance, it is indicative of the shoddy product that this book is, the result of a race to publish, a sacrifice of accuracy! for time.
