momof4ws,
Do not be fooled with the rigor/livor issue. This only tells you within which time-frame JonBenet was not moved. Its not proof she was not relocated by John Ramsey.

I hope you are not insinuating I am trying to "fool" anyone. This scientific FACT. You can't change it to suit your own theory. I didn't say she couldn't have been moved, but there are forensic limits to how and when. She absolutely could not have been placed in a suitcase. Livor starts fairly soon, with the blood settling to the lowest (closest to the floor/ground) areas of the body. Had she been folded into a suitcase first, (before rigor began) there would be a livor pattern indicating that. And if she was then placed on her back in the wineceller, there would be either 1. a second livor pattern formed on the back of her body and right side of her face SUPERIMPOSED over the first livor pattern during the NON-Fixed stage (blanching) or 2. if she was put in the wineceller after the first pattern was "fixed". the FIRST pattern from the folded position of the body would be the ONLY pattern.
The ONLY pattern found on her body was the pattern indicating she was placed on her back, head cocked to the right, legs straight out. She had to be placed in that position, not necessarily in the place she was found, but IN THAT POSITION, within minutes of death. Rigor wouldn't form that soon, but livor would. Once formed, it can't be "erased". The first pattern doesn't disappear when a second or even third pattern forms. They just superimpose on each other, as if you laid transparent colored fabric over something. The top layers don't hide the first layer, you can still see it through the other layers.
This isn't subjective. This is science.
I'll try to explain again:
JR could have moved her from the deeper area of the wineceller to an area closest to the door at any time without disturbing the livor or rigor by simply pulling her along the floor. Had he picked her up during the early livor stage, a second pattern would form, so he couldn't have actually picked her up during that phase without the coroner finding this. If he waited, and this could have been during his "unaccounted for" time between 10 am and noon or so, the livor would be fixed and he could have moved her without a second pattern forming. However, by then, rigor was formed, so he could pick her up but her body would have been stiff and her limbs locked into position. He was risking being seen by that time, because LE, as well as his friends, clergy, etc. were all over the house and there was a risk he would be seen if he had to carry her from another area of the house or basement.
Bottom line if you are going to consider scientific fact and not unproven theories?
Yes, she could have been moved, but ONLY from one area of the room to another and ONLY if her body was pulled along the floor.
And at no time could she have been placed in a suitcase after death- for all the above reasons. There is simply no clearer way to explain why other that what I have stated.
Livor/rigor confusing? Maybe, but that doesn't mean they can be disregarded or ignored.
