I disagree. Jonbenét is at peace - her suffering has ended. period.

Victory here - finding her killer and bringing him to justice - will not give her peace but it could save another child from a similar end.

As for Jonbenét and her scream, it would appear one person DID hear her scream - and chose to ignore it. Melody Stanton.
