The tape was a recent run - made just a few weeks before Christmas that year.

Once it is actually put together - the adhesive joined to the fabric - it still has to be packaged and shipped to a distribution warehouse where it is divided up and sent out agaon.... I don't see how it could have gone through the manufacturing plant and a distribution plant and a doll factory and a store to the Ramsey house...

and I still don't know what the BORG thinks the killer was doing with a doll? He was looking for tape and started stripping dolls rather than looking in drawers where the family might keep tape?

The piece of tape was rather long - ugly black tape. I can't imagine an expensive doll being held together with black duct tape. I think the BORG is simply going over the top with this one.
