You're welcome. I have to admit all I watched was 4 episodes of Dr Phil interviewing the father and the boy so my contribution to your OP isn't well rounded in the least.

For example I didn't know that Burke owned Hi-Tecs, something that Dr Phil hammers on isn't true.

Whatever the case I found it strange how Dr Phil was hard pressed to leave the viewer with the idea that the boy must be and has to be ruled out.

He also missed the opportunity to ask some great questions with regards to finer details but I suspect that was the intention all along.

Dr Phil never once took him as a serious suspect as he believes that it's impossible for the 9 year old boy to have committed such acts but there are moments in the footage where you can see different sides to the family.

They are tough, resilient people but they try not to project such relying on the aura of victimization to sway the public perception.

Is there any information about interviews conducted with people at his place of work?

You are spot on that a child would think 118,000 is a lot of money in this context.

I am remembering some of the details from when this happened back in 1997 and what is strange is that even back then, the media and the authorities muddied the waters so badly that one could have pointed to Col. Sanders and made a case for murder.

I think both the Ramsey parents are dead, the brother is still alive as far as I know and honestly he of all the people would likely know more than anyone who did it. He just has not confessed, or has not told the complete truth. I also think about what you could have bought for $118,000.00 back then. A Ferrari, or a Lamborghini maybe? What kind of thing specifically could you buy for $118k that a teen boy would want? A vintage Superman or Batman comic?

Something to think about.

Ok, so..I was looking through crime scene photos, watching videos, and trying to look at this objectively. A few things I found out that I did not know:

1. There were animal hairs found both in the duct tape that was used to cover JonBenet's mouth and in her hand.



2. With the pineapple chunks on the table in the kitchen, there was a cup of tea found (odd for a child of six but maybe)



3. The undisturbed cobwebs in the window doesn't matter, cobwebs can form overnight on the corners of windows. It wasn't as though there was a huge one covering the whole space (see pic below). Just small ones on the corners of the window and the broken pane.




4. I noticed on the floor plans that there are actually two staircases that provide access to all the upper levels of the house.

Check it out (notated by green dots in thumb below)..



Two ways to enter/exit each floor of the house...except for the basement. The basement only has one staircase leading up to the first floor. It is the staircase at the front of the house (notated by red dot in thumb below)



All the other floors have two staircases with one more exception: The second floor where Jon Benet's bedroom is. It has 3 staircases according to the floorplan. Two located by JonBenet's bedroom and one located in Burk's room. One of the two staircases located by JonBenét's room leads only up to the third floor (master bedroom) and the other leads only down to the first floor.

First floor:


Second Floor:



Third Floor:


Just very weird because if I were intruder, not knowing my way around the house, between the hours of 10 pm and 5 am in the dark, I think it could get very confusing. Hard not to make a mistake/noise..

These staircases also show a couple of ways to move a body. The most direct one being the front staircase which leads from the 3rd floor (master bedroom) all the way down to the basement. I mean that staircase leads directly to the wine room basically.

Anyhow, just wanted to point that out because I have not seen this talked about in any of the articles I've come across.

Thanks,

I also wanted to add the pic of the flashlight. It was found in the kitchen I think. The only piece of evidence left at the scene of the crime that is reported to be wiped clean of prints. So, possibly a plant because if they used the flashlight to roam the house...why would they leave it in the kitchen when they would need it to get out of the house? All of a sudden they don't need it once they get to the kitchen? They don't need it to unlock the door? They are that sure it's free of prints that they left it behind when it is just as easy to take it with them? Makes no sense...
