Great clue!
Did you obtain it about 30-35 years ago when the perv would have been a kid? Did you tell them where you got it?
No, it wasn't old. It was from the Christmas before the cops asked for clues. It was from Macy's, as the real bear was, too.
Although, they seemed to think the bear came dressed that way, but I don't, when I looked at the bear in the photo - everything's all askew, as if it had been dressed or re-dressed, maybe by JonBenet.
The outfit also seemed a bit small for that bear. The whole outfit was available separately, to dress any bear, but came in S-M-L, I believe, for different size bears.
I don't collect teddy bears, but do you know how many people have given me Santa bears over the years, as an adult? They're unbelievably common.
