Quick Info about the Garrote - Summer Dawn - 03-09-2017
Were Knots Sophisticated?
NO evidence suggests the Ramseys knew how to tie any knots
RE: Quick Info about the Garrote - searchinGirl - 03-09-2017 The Ramsey's are innocent victims...of BPD. RE: Quick Info about the Garrote - jameson245 - 03-10-2017 If this killer has an interest in bondage (as Mike McElroy did) he might have links to bondage sites on his computer - - the Ramseys did not. If he had that in his mind a lot, and I do think this man did, he may have enjoyed playing with string and cord, practicing knots. There may have been knots left in his living space and someone might remember that as being a bit strange. That is the kind of information the investigators should be told about. Anyone who could have been in Boulder that night - - who COULD have been, has no alibi to the contrary - - who has some history of mental disorder and/OR history of violence or abuse of children - - they should be considered as under the umbrella. RE: Quick Info about the Garrote - jameson245 - 03-18-2017 From the Boulder DAs office, official records on the DNA - this was under HISTORY OF ITEMS SUBMITTED FOR DNA ANALYSIS. Garrote: Composed of white colored cord, Olefin (polypropylene) braided, wrapped 6 ties around a paintbrush handle (about 4 1/2 inches in length) to form a knot. This know was located at the back of the victim's head. The end of the cord attached tot he paintbrush handle was singed. The opposite end was formed by making a loop then tying an overhand knot with a left hand chilarity. The loop could then be tightened by pulling on the standing part, thus forming a loop that encircled the neck/throat of JonBenet. The knot holding the broken paintbrush in place was about 17" from the knot forming the loop encircling the victim's neck/throat area. Head hair matching the victim's head hair was found entwined in the knot at the back of the victim's head or the knot affixing the broken paintbrush handle to the garrote. A knot expert with the Royal Canadian Mounted police analyzed the formation of the knot. Two (2) areas of stain o the cord were cut out ad the CBI analyzed the cuttings for DNA. The DNA from the two stains matched the victim's DNA. Other than the two cuttings, no other portion of the garrote cord has been analyzed for DNA. The cord did not match any similar cord located in the Ramsey home. snip then No DNA was developed from the paintbrush handle. no fingerprints either. |
