Do you know where your neighbor keeps paint brushes? Would you be able to get around your neighbor's house and find any of the items or similar information mentioned in this case? I wouldn't. I can't find stuff in my own house half the time.

Precisely. All that, plus randomly pick the one house in Boulder where that little beauty queen lived. Then go directly to the correct bedroom where the little girl slept, while not disturbing anyone else in the house. Then kill her either there or down in that remote basement storeroom. Then stage the way her body was found. Then write that three-page note (including making corrections and changes). In the note, just magically asking for the identical amount of the bonus John Ramsey had received.

None of this is "random" if the guy was stalking JonBenet and observing the house and/or the family. He could have been watching a long time...

For instance: all he had to do was sit in a grocery store/mall parking lot, watch for a certain type of family with a child to come out, follow them home and proceed to watch for days at a time.

I was trying to make the point that "knowing" someone does not necessarily mean one has access to very private/personal things. Even a hired-hand wouldn't know. A LIVE-IN housekeeper or LIVE-IN nanny MIGHT know some of these things. Not as well, though, as the murderer knows or knew.

How about this scenario.

A child molester with an obsessive personality becomes aware of JonBenet through the pageant circuit since he frequents those because he likes little girls. He begins to indulge this obsession through various means including covert surveillance of the house. One night, the Ramsey's are out of town, so he feels like taking a bit more risk and begins poking around at 2 am. After trying several windows, and leaving evidence of this, he comes across a grate covering a basement window. He lifts the grate, and being a slender guy easily fits into the small space in front of the window. To his delight, he discovers the latch is broken, so he lifts the window and scoots inside. Now he finds himself in a small, obscure room. He ventures out and begins to explore the house. Since no one is home, he takes his time and becomes quite familiar. After awhile he leaves. It was an exhilarating experience for him, so he can't wait to do it again. Sometime later, the family returns from their vacation. It's 1 am and they are asleep. The perp again sneaks to the house, but this time he doesn't have to search for a way in. He quickly makes his way to that little obscure room. In the dark of the night, he sneaks about the house, possibly even spying on JonBenet while she sleeps. He makes his way back to the room ands stays there for awhile. It's quite secure and he feels very safe and comfortable. He repeats this exhilarating experience several times, but now it is becoming boring. He needs, and wishes to be closer to his obsession. So, he devises a plot to kidnap her. On the night of his plan he sneaks in early, and finds a notepad and pen. As he sits in the little safe hideout waiting for the family to return and go to sleep. While waiting he authors a strange ransom note. Maybe this will give him the opportunity to escape with his obsession. The note becomes more bizarre as the time as nearing and his anticipation is building. After everyone is asleep he proceeds to carry out his plan. He sneaks upstairs and scatters the ransom note, then goes into JonBenet's room and subdues her. He caries her to the little basement room that has become his secret hideout. He wants her to feel safe so he tries to reassure her that everything is fine, perhaps by feeding her pineapple. But, he can't control himself and his effort to console her lead him to indulge on his sick perverted fantasies, ultimately leading to the her death. He views this as an accident since it is a result of his uncontrollable urges and not what he had initially intended. Now he's in a panic, but also remorseful. He covers her, draws a heart on her palm and escapes through the window. Since he never returns to Boulder, he doesn't proceed to add anything to the file that was opened for him to begin to pursue work. Yes, this is complete speculation, and DNA may exonerate this guy. But, the above scenario is not a far fetched one if you're dealing with a crazed, obsessive, pedophile. Karr has shown to be that much. He's a planner. Everything he plans has to do with his pedophilia. This is most likely why he's made five trips to Thailand within two years, why he chose teaching as an occupation, why he worked as a private tutor in America and foreign countries. Day in and Day out this guy seems to operate with the purpose of indulging his perversion. It's not unbelievable to think that the above scenario could have been carried out by him, or someone like him.
