I have never heard anything about flaking paint and wood.

Can you explain the suitcase and the smudge on the wall underneath the window? And the broken glass?
Steve Thomas, the idiot investigator, claims that the guy who was with John when they found the body put the suitcase there and just doesn't remember doing it.

Steve Thomas is pushing his book. I have seen him on two shows and he came across as nasty, lacking in objectivity, and illogical, especially in his comments regarding the DA Mary Lacy. Apparently he would have wanted John Mark Karr just to be left free to run around. At least now Karr's face is known and people can keep their children away from him.

You've been hanging around Jamesons too long. By the way, she's already named a "new" suspect, today. :-)

Good grief. John Ramsey broke the window the summer of 1996 when he was locked out and Patsy was in Charlevoix. It had never been fixed and he was said to have used it again when locked out again.

It's likely *his* scuff mark on the wall, where he eased himself inside. Anyone could have put that suitcase there at any time.

John tried to make Fleet White think the window had just been broken that night and the suitcase just appeared out of nowhere, so the the "intruder" could get a leg up to go out the window. Fleet admitted he moved it to look more closely at the broken glass.

The windowsill was undisturbed of its layer of dust and flaking paint. Anyone going in that window would have had to sit on the sill to get in. No one had done that since John Ramsey had done it last.
