Right...the only thing that gives me just a tad bit of pause on this part is this: If I think I am being accused of writing the RN and am asked to provide samples to the police and let's assume I did actually write the RN...I am pretty sure I could fudge a little on the samples so it wouldn't look the same - even with my non dominant hand...I don't know - wouldn't ya think?? Maybe she just didn't think of that?
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm amazed that someone would do that and NOT expect a handwriting match to be made later. But, for the sake of discussion, let's say PR is culpable. Then we can see several mistakes on her part:
1.) wearing clothing that witnesses had seen her wearing the evening before while tying the ligature together
2.) using a swiss army knife when she didn't know how it got where it was
3.) leaving the pineapple and tea glass on the table and not cleaning it up
4.) not accounting for the pineapple that would appear in JBR's system at autopsy
5.) The numerous mistakes in the RN itself indicating this was NOT really a kidnapping
6.) leaving underwear on JBR that was size 12
7.) wiping fingerprints from the flashlight which was NOT necessary
8.) leaving a chair in the hallway in the basement and the lights on; indicating activity in the basement which an innocent parent would have noticed if caused by an intruder
9.) placing tape on the child's mouth AFTER she expired
10.) not cleaning up urine on the floor outside the cellar room; indicating place of death of JBR
11.) leaving sheets in dryer in basement which should have been put BACK on JBR's bed
12.) violating the victim with a paintbrush, indicating possibility of deception by perpetrator
13.) showing TOO much interest in gory details of her daughters death afterward; most innocent parents would never talk about such things publicly
14.) latching the 'secret' lock on the cellar room door which an intruder would arguable not know of
15.) claiming that the doors to the house were locked that night; forcing explanation for intruder ingress via a basement window that would almost certainly have left fiber or other evidence
16.) leaving JBR's room in same disarray that it actually was in that night - indicated that death did not occur there b/c if it had it would have been straightened up. If promoting intruder theory, deceiver would be best served by altering disarray to support that view. In contrast, disarray we see is random. For deception purposes, the best thing to do would have been to straighten the room up.
17.) not changing clothes before witnesses arrived at her house
The list could go on as the mountain of forensics and physical evidence is substantial, but the thing I noticed here is that IF PR was involved, this shows a pattern of unsophisticated criminal behavior. I'm guessing that's all the 'un-fudged' RN was, just yet another error in the larger plan.
I'm almost starting to think that Karr read their Christmas message...the one containing "and hence" because he used "a" instead of and after it. In other words, he didn't know how to use it properly. Besides, it doesn't really fit in properly with the rest of the dissertation.
