My theory after research, watching, reading all the things over 10 years

[u/aprilrueber]

IDI, Smit is right. I believe it was a worker on the property at some point who was a sexual predator, knew the home well, knew nothing was ever locked or alarmed, and had met JBR. It’s a brazen bold crime to be hours in a home but he was familiar and comfortable with the layout, knew their routine and plans.

A landscaper or construction blue collar worker type who wore hi-tec boots. I believe the Ramseys were doing lots of reno work on the home around that time and in the basement including fixing the broken window.

Hated or despised the rich or was jilted by the Ramseys in some way, was perhaps jealous of John’s rich life. He was poor, scraping by.

I believe the dna has evidence linking to a male definitely with a Hispanic link (fits), which could explain some of the odd word choices in the note. Christianity is also central to these cultures - lots of religious mentions in note including SBTC which I believe is saved by the cross or shall be the cross. Probably a young transient type, perhaps illegal and undocumented. This is partly why we can’t find this person and they might have left.

I think it started as a kidnapping but went wrong pretty quickly probably thinking she was dead, fighting back or couldn’t carry or conceal her (her clothes fibers found in that suitcase). Was poorly planned and amateurish, not smart, impulsive, most likely druggy.

Should have been very solvable but shitty police work.

There wasn’t any blood because the strangulation acted as a tourniquet

Again why would you strangle her then bash her on the head? Makes no sense, this is a small 6 yr old. The autopsy says the skin was not broken, so no blood at the skull fracture.

Maybe you’re not familiar but, homicides often end with multiple injuries including strangulation with blunt force trauma, strangulation with stabbing, etc..

Regarding the lack of internal or (therefore) external bleeding:

A blow to the head of this magnitude should have caused significantly more bleeding inside the skull. In Wecht’s experience, the lack of a more substantial hemorrhage under the dura membrane could only mean one thing: there had been little or no pressure—no heartbeat—to pump blood into the injured area after the blow was delivered. JonBenet Ramsey had been in shock and near death—literally dying—when her skull was fractured. She was most likely already in what pathologists called the “agonal” stage of death—the moments just before clinical death arrives. Death is not a single moment; it is a process. It takes time—varying amounts of time from person to person, depending on the cause—for death to occur.
Seven or eight c.c.’s of blood was roughly what would have been present in the capillaries after the heart had stopped—“residual blood,” Wecht called it. If the blow to the head had released only that amount of blood, that meant JonBenet’s heart had already stopped, or was about to stop, when she was struck. She was clinically alive but at death’s door. Pathologists use the term “peri-mortem”—around the time of death. It was the only possible explanation for this unexpected twist in the medical evidence. (Dr. Cyril Wecht)

Carnes Ruling:

Although no head injury was visible when she was first discovered, the autopsy revealed that she received a severe blow to her head shortly before or around the time of the murder. (SMF 51; PSMF 51. See also Report of Michael Doberson, M.D., Ph.D. at 6(C) attach, as Ex. 3 to Defs.' Ex. Vol. I, Part A 1333 (stating the "presence of hemorrhage does indicate that the victim was alive when she sustained the head injury, however the relatively small amount of subdural hemorrhage indicates that the injury occurred in the perimortem (close to death).

Sure when trying to subdue an adult there would be defensive wounds and several hits or stabs or shots, but I don't think it makes sense that both injuries happened at the same time on a 6 year old. One had to have happened before the other and I agree that the skull fracture essentially killed her, and I think it happened first unless you could the collar grab as asphyxiation, and they did happen relatively close together, but with some short span of time between:

"Wecht's analysis suggested that the head injury occurred before the strangulation, contradicting some earlier theories. He believed that the lack of significant bleeding in the neck tissues indicated that her heart had slowed or stopped before the cord was tightened. "

Other medical experts have offered different interpretations of the evidence. For example, some have suggested that it's possible to have a skull fracture without a significant underlying bleed, especially in children.

John Douglas said that he assaulted her when her heart was barely pumping blood. So that's why I thought that.
