In regard to my post above suggesting a fifth person in the house that night, it might be appropriate to list the missing crime scene items that had apparently been removed from the house. They include:
1. the roll of black Shurtape brand duct tape;
It may be interesting to note the "similar tape" that was found on the back of a picture. Was the picture one of Jonbenet? Is this tape normally purchased by photo shops?
2. the balance of the white 1/4" Stansport brand flat nylon cord;
Again, who purchases this type of cord? What lengths 20 to 50 yards are normal in it's packaging?
3. the stun gun that left stun gun injuries on the face, back and ankle of JonBenet;
It seems stun guns were a popular item in Boulder as many suspects had one.
4. the tip of the wooden paint brush handle that was used to make the ligature;
I recall in Singular's book, that Jeff Shapiro found a piece of the broken brush outside the home.
5. a piece of dark blue cloth used to wipe down JonBenet which left fibers
on the inner thighs and folds of the labia of JonBenet;
6. the size 6 underwear that JonBenet had to have been wearing before she was cleaned up and redressed in oversized size 12 underwear.
Very odd, no parent would do this.
7. the red ink pen used to draw the heart on JonBenet's palm;
8. the nine pages missing from the middle of the notepad from which the three ransom note pages were taken;
9. the Hi-Tec hiking boots, with a compass built into them, that Burke Ramsey finally admitted owning after the parents denied anyone in the house owned Hi-Tec footwear.
As in the shoes LHP had on, Patsy gave old things away.
