Seems possible to me. I think John did the staging while Patsy wrote the ransom note. The 911 call is bizarre, as is so much of their behavior following that little girl's death.

So what about the unknown male DNA? How do you explain that?

Nothing makes sense to me unless they thought she was dead (or she was dead) and then fake strangled her as part of the staging. Is that possible?

Patsy saying "I'm the mother" on the 9-11 call and saying "I loved that child" in her interviews ... I'm wondering did she say things this way prior to the death of JB or only after. She seemed to place some distance there in multiple instances.Is that typical of grieving parents?

If Burke did it I could see them doing the cover up bc they figured John would be a prime suspect
I. Their minds the staging saved all of them
I don't know... It's very odd. Also possible a family friend hid in the house.
Then not knowing where the flashlight came from is odd. Why not say wow the kidnapper must have brought it...
Unless it was def theirs and odd. But again if all was staged, why not at least put the flashlight in the basement.
Nothing makes sense

^ huh? Patsy's ass could not fit into a child's size 12. You are weird for getting hung up on underwear.

If he had hit his sister in the head, most people would just call an ambulance. It would be easy to say it was an accident, the kid was 9 years old. It would be very unlikely that he would be charged with anything.

Plus, the blow to the head isn't what killed her ultimately. It was the strangulation, which a kid definitely didn't do. She died a very violent death.

It's a BIG leap to say that the parents did it to cover up Burke hitting his sister.

It would be easier to believe that the father did it to cover up sexual abuse, but I really don't believe that either...

The pathologist last night seemed to think that the blow to the head rendered her essentially brain dead. She was going to die from that skull fracture whether she was strangled or not.

I can't figure out why they wouldn't have called 911 either. It seems to me that if one of your kids had made such a tragic mistake you wouldn't then compound it by making sure that your other child was dead via strangulation. I simply have a hard time making any sense of them doing that.

The other thing that troubles me is that so much has been made about this pineapple being in JonBenet's stomach. But last night the lines from the autopsy report seemed to state something like fragments found in digestive system, possibly pineapple. I don't remember the exact wording (sorry!) but it did not seem 100% certain at all that what they found was, in fact, pineapple.

This, although I also can't make sense of sexualizing their child the way they did and putting her in pageants.

It bugs me that Patsy was dressing in matching outfits with JonBenet. Maybe it's just me but those big girl size 12 undies do not look like the sort of underwear that most tween/teen girls would wear, I have a hard time believing that an aunt would buy panties for her niece at Christmas. I wonder if those big girl panties were for Patsy and she got a package of smaller underwear for JonBenet. I don't know that they ever located all of those different pairs of underwear which is also strange.

It was weird for Patsy to not at least skim a 345ish word ransom note well enough to know what it said. It's weird that Patsy hung up on the 911 operator.

Huge red flag...

They think that she ran to call the police before reading the whole letter.

Yet in the 911 call she quotes the end of the letter saying "S.B.T.C" and "Victory"

Exactly. It's not like she could just skip past most of the incredibly wordy letter and jump right to the end to see who signed it.

The blow to the head did kill her, even though she was strangled after. Blow to head made her brain dead.
