Don't know about him being in the boy scouts. The more I think of Burke as the prime suspect, the more sense it makes. I'm not looking at the handwriting style, but the content. It makes sense of the phrase directed at John to use his Southern blah blah. Burke would have heard that ad nauseum. The opening "Listen csrefully" is something his mother might have said to him, and he is throwing it all back at them.
At one point in the Larry King interview, JR says he can't imagine anyone hating him enough to do this to him. Ten years later he would have the insights, he would know the truth, and with the spotlight once again focused on the case, his instinct with what he must know by now, would be to take Burke and get to a country that will not extradite to the USA because Burke would be tried as an adult and could be given the death penalty.
The garrotte's intricate wrappings also make sense with this theory. Making that weapon would take a lot of time. Why not bring one if it was an intruder? Burke had already made it, and used it to torture and kill small animals. He took the animals to the basement area where he lured JBR. He was full of rage having been almost completely ignored at the party, where JBR had tons of attention heaped on her, and was in reality the brightest star shining there.
He had had it. His parents clearly favored Jon Benet. Yet he was a brilliant child. If she was gone, he would be the center of their world. They would be even more protective of him. He had already sent JBR to the hospital with one swing of his golf club. He could do it again and hide the club.
The d.a. shouldn't have been worried about JMK getting away. They should be worried about BR and JR absconding.
Where did you get these "facts"?
Do NOT agree with one word you have said.
