The only plausibly implausible scenario is that an evil genius showed up and orchestrated the most perfectly wonderful unsolvable crime. Maybe this person wrote mystery novels.
I tend to think a lot of stuff that the Internet discussions of this crime focus on are red herrings. There is literally no scenario that makes sense. Something important is missing or perhaps the crime was committed with a motive of framing so there were intentional red herrings. There would have been easier ways to attempt to frame John (think of the drug planting story in CA) that wouldn't involve murdering a child so I tend to be skeptical of that as well.
The profile of this crime is a sadistic murder of a young child with sexual elements. This is one of the rarest crimes and typically only committed by people who have serious psychopathic criminal tendencies. This is not really a crime that fits the profile of something one would do accidentally, because they could, to frame someone, or because they messed up trying to get ransom. On the other hand, the circumstances of her being in the house and the tight timeline don't really fit either. I have no idea what happened, except that I find it extremely hard to believe an accident was involved and certainly not one involving a 9 year old boy. If one of the parents did it, I have to assume because of a few things it was a premeditated attack on JonBenet. This is hard to believe for a few reasons (despite careful scrutiny over the past 20 years, they don't appear to have the criminal characteristics associated with a crime of this nature) but with no alternative suspect or theory, the possibility can't be ruled out. I think that's about all that can be said though. The investigators who are "sure" they did it or "theorize" it was an accident have nothing more to go off than speculation about circumstantial evidence that doesn't add up. If they had any real evidence the case could have been closed by now against people who were obviously in the house at the time. Only thing that can roll the ball forward at this point would be to get a hit against the DNA evidence. It would either exclude that person on the basis of an alibi and thus strengthen the case against the people known to be in the home at the time, or identify a murderer.
