What I find really interesting about this poll "result" (even though it doesn't have a huge number of respondents) is that (shall we say, being conservative) HALF of respondents believe that Burke was involved in JB's murder.
Let's adjust this stat further, being even MORE conservative, to take account of people who dismiss Burke's involvement out of hand and can't even be bothered responding to the poll (or people who see the poll's author as ME and think i am a dumbo moron

)
So let's say, overall, one-third of case enthusiasts believe Burke was INVOLVED somehow.
Isn't it interesting that the BDI theories attract absolutely ZERO adherents among those "public figures" who venture a theory into the arena?
Patsy has her adherents; Singular seems to point at both JR and Fleet; Smit KNOWS it was an intruder.... yet NO ONE posits publicly that Burke did it, apart from the anonymous posters on this forum (such as, err... myself!)
Interesting! Almost makes one sympathetic to BC's conspiracy leanings...
Gurujosh,
Burke has some history of being both a suspect and also declared as being publicly cleared.
As far back as 2000 and before, either the tabloids or internet postings were fingering Burke as a suspect.
Jeffrey Scott Shapiro is on record as stating that as an investigator for the Globe tabloid their focus was initially JR who was viewed as a classic molesting pedophile, then PR was brought into the frame, thereafter BR was named as the alleged culprit.
Burke has been portrayed as young sociopath and/or psychopath who planned and carried out the murder of JonBenet. His motive being one of jealousy towards JonBenet in her role as PR's pageant queen by proxy.
Burke high and excited on a culture of electronic games, comics, and movies, decides to perpetrate his preteen interpretation of a lustful kidnapping and sexual assault. He spends weeks prior to xmas grooming JonBenet with tales that Santa will turn up for a special visit.
So he lures her downstairs for a pineapple snack, sipping tea as they await Santa. Next Burke whacks JonBenet with the flashlight, relocating her body to the basement where he sexually assaults her digitally along with the paintbrush.
After creating the garrotte he chokes the last breath of life from her body, placing her corpse in the wine cellar, returning upstairs to camly write the ransom note, then he retires to bed, awaiting PR's discovery of the RN later that morning!
Around this same period a Californian women made allegations relating to an organized pedophile ring

quote:
In talking to detectives, the woman draws parallels between sexual techniques used at these sessions and the physical evidence of garroting that investigators found on the body of JonBenét Ramsey. The woman told detectives she believes JonBenét was killed accidentally when an asphyxiation technique used to stimulate an orgasmic response during a child sex and *advertiser censored* "party" went too far.
The woman told police she knows firsthand about asphyxiation (choking) to produce a sexual response because it had been done to her when she was a child. The woman said in her experience little girls were dressed provocatively and trained to say provocative things, such as, "It's a pleasure to please you."
Here you have JonBenet's death suggested as having some link with a pedophilia ring, and her asphxiation relating to child sex and orgasmic response, or EA etc.
So if you combine some of these elements you can arrive at a BDI that has Burke engaging in EA with JonBenet. Then a conspiracy theory can be employed to explain the lack of interest by the authorities, which purports to be either protecting the child by statute or/and covering up their shortcomings. Alernatively you can invoke a Ramsey conspiracy and obsfucation to hide the alleged links with partying and pedophile rings.
In the same year as JonBenet's murder and thereafter, the Dutroux Affair exploded into public awareness. Here Marc Dutroux, a convicted pedophile was systematically kidnapping little girls, filming his assaults, then killing them. A
conspiracy of silence and inaction was used to explain why he evaded arrest, even whilst his house was searched with the children present and yet not discovered. This led to public outcry and mass protest in Belgium.
So it could be that Burke has been grossly maligned, using a slew of media and internet speculation, that weaves perceived facts from contemporary crimes such as Dutroux's, and the shootings in schools across the USA to create a fictionalized preteen predator.
