I know, in the first page or so of Shapiro's account, he seems to have a hard time getting started, and states something is speculation, but if you manage to keep reading through his whole list of persons of interest and facts about them, it's interesting enough that I've bookmarked it, should have made some notes to put into this. Maybe will look again and bring up some of his points later. For instance, something about what Chris Wolf's girlfriend reported, re mud on his clothes, as if maybe he really was in that crawl space where the duffle bag was found, to get mud on his tshirt, and/or someplace else to get mud on his boots, but I think there had to be more than one person involved, including someone powerful that the R's couldn't have accused, who may have been a mastermind not actually at the scene. Shapiro warms up in the article to making some interesting statements.
There had been plenty of talk about JonBenet, all over the country !
And there's precedent for molesting a victim with something jagged, I've mentioned in another thread, from a book about the Michigan Co-ed Murders. One male college student was convicted as a serial killer but in the book, white cars, at least two, maybe several, were seen at the edge of a wood where a girl's body was found assaulted with a piece of a tree branch. Naturally, some of the victims didn't have cars and were taken when walking on the street, probably were offered a ride, but were perceived as prostitute street walkers. All in the perps' own heads, in the eye of the beholder. The same thing could well have figured in the case of little JonBenet. (I'm an FS, a fence sitter, never post any fave theory, keeping a lot of them in mind.)
