None of these ever resulted in any evidence being found to support them, but it should be noted what the theories were.

John did it.  He had been sexually abusing her and she was going to tell so.... 

John did it because there was no porn on his computers - - but the posters know he was into that kind of thing.  He HAD traveled to the Netherlands, after all.

Patsy did it.  She caught John molesting JonBenet and took a swing and......     then John and Patsy worked together to cover the whole thing because they needed to save the family.....  and they stayed together until death did them part.

Patsy did it because the dry bed was wet.

Patsy did it because she was about to turn 40.


Patsy did it because she was a very clever psychopath for just a few hours.

Patsy did it because ....   anything you can imagine was used against her by BORG so feel free to ad lib here.  She was like Ma Brady's mother and SHE could be a witch.  She was like Jeff Shapiro's mother and SHE was a Romper Room Lady.  She was like JMK's mother and SHE tried to kill JMK!

Burke did it because JonBenét was snitching a piece of his pineapple at 1 am.  While on some drug that would make that pineapple instantly appear on the other side of her stomach.

The theories are endless, but there is no evidence to support any of them.

In 2014, there was a suggestion that all dogs in Boulder who were licensed might be required to have a DNA test  (I would assume at the owner's expense.)  That way, if someone did not pick up after their dog, the feces might be analyzed so the nasty owner might be held responsible for the doggie doo doo left behind.

Seriously? 

They have hesitated to test evidence in rape and murder cases because of budgetary limits, but the City Council actually considered testing on dog droppings?

Strange but true

Cold Case: Arapahoe County cheerleader disappears on walk home

It was a tragic mix up.
Goddard Junior High School cheerleader Marilee Burt was just trying to get home following a basketball game in 1970.
It was at a time when there were no cellular phones to text a message to her mom or a close friend.
The 15-year-old girl had walked to her friend’s house and forgot to tell her mother in a phone message that she wasn’t at the school.

As her mom drove to the school to pick up her daughter, her daughter decided to walk to her home at 30 Wedge Way in Columbine Valley in her green uniform with a G emblazoned on the front.
It wasn’t that far.
At about 6:50 p.m. on Feb. 26, 1970 Marilee’s 16-year-old brother Raymond Burt was driving along a deserted stretch of road bordered by tall trees on both sides.
He saw a girl in pony tails walking along Middlefield Road.
He didn’t recognize her because Marilee didn’t normally wear pony tails.
He didn’t see her face in the dark.
After driving down the road a while, he looked in his rear-view mirror.
A dark, two-tone pickup truck stopped beside the girl.
His sister never made it home.
Forty-five years later, the high-profile abduction/rape/murder of a member of the Burt automotive family has never been solved.
The next day highway workers found her nude body under a bridge in a shallow creek in Deer Creek Canyon in Jefferson County. It was found where it was dropped, 6 miles southwest of her home where she lived with her mother.

That is the label of the good DNA in this case - the DNA found mixed with JonBenet's blood in her panties.  (from the sexual assault, the DNA was MIXED with her blood, not layered, comingled)

It was entered into CODIS years ago and has been used to clear dozens of people.

I have documents proving that.

I have no idea why DA Mary Lacy brought the long john DNA into the discussion as that IS a confusing bit of evidence.  But this profile - - it is golden and should not be ignored.

If not marked crime scene, may be staged by different TV shows.  Be aware.

I brought the following URL to the attention of DA Stan Garnett and BPD Chief Greg Testa today

http://blogs.denverpost.com/coldcases/20...-15/10387/

I have been in touch with the lab that is doing the advanced DNA tests that could give details about the man who left his DNA mixed with the blood of his 6 year old victim.  Did he have red hair?  Blue eyes?  Freckles? Dimples?  Did he tend to be very hairy?  Did he have olive skin?      The man at the lab said he would have to have permission from the detectives to do the comparison, that he has worked with BODE before and they would be able to tell him if the DNA on file is good enough for their needs, and that the cost would be $3,600.

The first step is to get the Boulder LE to agree to allow this to go forward.  I have sent an email out to knock on that door.

I can't help with the DNA, it is either good enough to test or not.

But if funding is a problem, I have offered to use the GoFundMe contributions to pay half of the cost, $1,800.

I even wrote in my email that if they had NO funding available, I would do more to get donations to pay the full cost.  All I really need is their stamp of approval to give the new lab access to the BODE files. 

I am waiting to hear back from them.

Please do share this on the forums.  The new science might help solve this.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zachary Bernhardt went missing in Clearwater, FL in 2001. A sweet 8 year old boy.

He is still missing.



During the investigation, the Clearwater PD received a tip of a picture found in a parking lot near BOULDER, COLORADO in 2001.

The picture was a boy who resembled Zachary... Unfortunately it gave no good tips towards his disappearance

This horrific picture was a picture of a young boy BOUND AND TIED UP!  To my knowledge, they have no idea who the little boy is in the picture.

I am NOT saying whoever took the picture is involved with JonBenet's murder.

Could it be related? Possible! Maybe not!! We dont know and chances are we wont know who took the picture.

VERY weird though! I hope the BPD investigated fully!

Henry Lee, in the CBS Borgumentary,  

On another site, the modereator noted that Lee " basically dismissed the piece of wood by strongly suggesting that it found its way into her vagina due to a secondary transfer. Henry Lee stated that the secondary transfer could have occurred when JonBenét’s body was moved repeatedly or when a blanket was put on her (paragraph #535). "


My response - - JonBenet's long johns were pulled up when she was found, were onher when she was carried up to the front hall by her father and moved by Detective Arndt.  She remained dressed while the blanket was put on her and while she was touched by her mother and the other people who were there that morning.  She was not undressed at all the whole time she was in the house and was undressed only after she was carried into the autopsy room.

The activity around her would not have caused any secondary transfer that would put ANYTHING in her vagina!

It is this kind of misrepresentation of evidence that makes me wonder just what Henry Lee actually said.  To me, they could have taped him for 12 hours and cut and pasted the show so it would appear he "said" things - or agreed to things, when he really did not.

From the autopsy:

Vaginal Mucosa: 
A small number of red blood cells is present on the eroded surface, as is birefringent foreign material.  



The small piece of birefringent material was cellulose and came from the broken paintbrush.

The paintbrush was broken into three pieces.  The tip that was never found, I think it was too small to be used in any sexual assault.  The other end, with the brush, was left in the tray and we have no reason to think that was used to sexually assault her.  If it had blood on it, I think the police would have noted that.

Then there is the centerpiece with no report of blood on it.  I feel sure it was used in the garrote right after the paintbrush was broken.

So how did a bit of the paintbrush end up in the victim's vagina?  I believe the killer broke the paintbrush and when he did, the tiniest piece of cellulose stuck to his hand and was inadvertently carried to her vagina during the sexual assault.

There are certain items used in this murder which could not be linked to the Ramseys, no evidence they bought those items and no matching items in the house.  Two of those items are the black duct tape that was found on her face and the cord that was found on her neck and wrists.

To repeat, the cord used in the garrote matched nothing found in the house and the tape didn't either.  For more information, look at the thread on the garotte and cord.

This thread will just deal with the paintbrush that was used to make the handle for that garrote.
