The killer preplan and monitored the family before the crime.
An neighbor seen a white male walk up to the north side of house near the Butler door around 5:00 p m just after the family left for the Christmas dinner. This door was found open the next morning.
The ransom note takes 30 minutes to print with a hard to write water base Sharpie marker. This marker that was out of production for many years was left in a orange can place under the kitchen phone were other family pens and marker are kept.
In the back hall way was a counter, one of many white writing pad were stored, hand place for the family to make every day notes. Any one could seen this pad and use it as they did.
Profile:
The killer mover around the house as the family was at the Christmas party. He see and take the note pad from the inside counter and prints the ransom note. Page one is scrap and he starts over.
The killer has a art background and he is prod of his work, like the use of the art safe water base marker keep in a new unused condition. He know this note will be seen by many and will be very importance in the crime, he has a art background and wants his work of at to look the best for display.
Page one of the ransom note was Dog Ear at the bottom left side of the page. This tell us more about the killer. Instructors and art teachers, and trail guilds do this in the every day work.
The note is printed , This tell us more about the killer and how he thinks.
The page uses to print the note was taken from the middle of the unused note pad, new, flat as what a arties would uses, not folded and damage. He an arties and prod of his work.
The Dog Ear help him find page one when he need them at the time of placement, it will be dark he predicts. The note pad was found in it kept location by John and the police, so the killer replace the note pad back before he left the crime scene.
To keep everything in place, not disturb the house, he keeps the ransom note safe out of site next to were the note will be place, by the back stairs and id next to the counter were the note pad is stored.
The family come home and walk right by the ransom note kept inside the middle of the note pad. Flat, un damage, and in plane view out of site, next to where the note will be place, fast and easy for the killer.
At the time the killer needs to place the note for the crime, he simply find the Dog Ear page and tears out the three page from the note pad on the counter that was there by the killer for safe keeping. This pad location is a arm length from the placement of the ransom note. Flat and un damage, this is his art work.
Simple and quick placement of the ransom note, ready and easy to find in the dark at the time the killer need it.
Specal notes:
The black Sharpie marker, the orange can under the kitchen phone, the white note pad on the counter, the steps to the back stairs and placement of the ransom note as well as a view into Jonbenet bedroom could all be seen and monitor from one property location. The South/West side of the yard. This would be a place of interest.
That said, the silver spoon used was all so stored in a case next to the back steps and could be seen form this side yard location. A place for preplanning the crime.
The kitchen glass table could all so be seen from this location too. Pineapple and tea cup placement was in full view too. What does this tell us.
The killer simple reaches over to the counter and locates the Dog Ear page and removes the three page ransom note, flat and in a new condition, stored very close to the placement location of the back steps. Very smart and preplanned by the killer. Kept in plan site when the family walk by but printed in side the middle of the note pad. Out of site.
The items left at the house set up the family as police check for clues.
