and if you were the killer, an intruder, wouldn't you have taken that rope and the paintbrush with you when you left the house? why leave it behind as evidence, when all you had to do was slip it in your pocket.

Your post wasn't addressed to me...but to be wildly speculative, I think there are a lot of reasons those things can me left behind/explained, not the least of which is that he used items from the house so he would be better off leaving them than risk being discovered with them later.

IF (and that is a huge gigantic if) he is the one who did it, I honestly believe he did not intend to kill her.

It's not uncommon to leave murder weapons. Her hair was also tangle in it, and the knot was tight. It's possible that it wouldn't come off that easy. Also, this murder may have been part of a sick sexual fantasy. If the perp was in a frenzy, it might have hit him pretty hard once he realized his sadistic sex fetish had killed her. He freaks, and pops her over the head in a panic. He was suddenly remorseful, and not thinking in a rational sense. This crime may not have been as systematic and calculated as it seemed. A crime was planned, but I think what happened was not part of the initial plan. Once he realizes he has killed this person that he believes he loves, his personality takes on the characteristics of a grief stricken person, not a methodical killer. Who ever the sicko is, he's not a rational person. I don't think we can expect him to behave like one.

If the Ramsey's had done it, I would expect a more rational crime scene. I think they would have attempted to discard any evidence like the rope and paint brush.
