The size 12s were from Bloomingdale's; and so, if they had been gift-wrapped also, they'd have been distinguishable from the FAO Schwarz presents. PR claimed that she ripped the paper back. Kolar asserted that it was BR.
proust20,
Yes, this is the central issue and why I queried whether FAO Schwarz would have allowed Patsy to include the size-12's for wrapping and free delivery?
Assuming this never took place then Patsy presumably
personally carried the size-12's back to Boulder from New York, wrapped in Bloomingdale's wrapping paper?
Lets assume Patsy places the size-12's with all the other gifts down in the basement intending to gift wrap them along with the others?
Lets also assume Patsy's explanation regarding the size-12's has been fabricated, i.e. she
did not give them to JonBenet.
Also if the latter was false then Patsy would have known to make sure there were size-12's in JonBenet's underwear drawer, right?
So we can assume it was either John or Burke who dressed JonBenet in the size-12's, meaning they had to know they existed and where they were located?
If Burke opened the gifts in the wine-cellar Christmas day afternoon, then why not the package containing the size-12's, which he might target because he recognizes the Bloomingdale's wrapping, which should
not be located in the wine-cellar as it is
not a gift intended for his birthday?
That Burke opened the gifts is not a big deal, they were intended for him, that Patsy tore and
peeked is also not a big deal, what is : is who opened the size-12's?
Now BPD are not telling anyone what the contents of the unwrapped gifts were, could one or even two of those gifts in the wine-cellar actually have been intended for JonBenet, i.e. Patsy's continuation of the Christmas theme over onto the vacation, e.g. Secret Santa?
