I still don't see any ritualism aspects. What ritual? Are there a whole string of beauty pageant S&M killings that we haven't heard about?
I'm only relaying what the guy on Coast-to-Coast said. What little I know of S&M, there are ritual aspects to it. Either that, or ritual might not be the best description. The guy on C-to-C did not use that word when discussing his theory. BTW, according to his theory, JonBenet's death would have been an accident during a session that got out of hand.
I'm also not saying the guy is right, only that his theory is as plausible as many others.
At the time of the murder, stylized torture, rape, and simulated murder of children was readily available on the web. Her state when they found the body was as if someone performed the murder according to these photos.
Are there other child rape/murders of this sort? I suspect there are, but we do not here much of them. That is also why there is much speculation about the Polly Klaas murderer corresponding with the man that has confessed this crime. It begs many questions about who else might have been corresponding and why the police were not interested in following these leads at the time.
Are the police protecting someone? Are they afraid of someone? Are there many people involved?
