Are there photos of the night stands? The parent's bed room? If there are we ought to be able to see if the book existed in them. I don't think I've ever seen any of these photos posted if they do exist.

I guess I can't see this, even if true, as being incriminating. If the book was there, and the Ramseys had read it, why would they use it as a "go by" to stage a murder scene? I mean, 'let's see here...in chapter 15 it tells how a staged crime scene looks so let's copy what they did so the detectives will know right away that we are guilty'...'Good plan, John".....

Fortunately, my theory involves a strong element of framing and the leaving of "props" which would account for someone leaving a copy of this book there. I can see a perp leaving it as a clue for the FBI...to help them get on the right trail...."why we hurt the ones we love.." it would answer so many questions: why the body was left in the house but hidden, why wrapped, why Christmas stress, why the gown placed close by, why, why, why...Why would the parents be so helpful in pointing out these answers?

I know what the perp was up to and this fits right in. I wouldn't be surprised if it is true.

But if it is true...what happened to the book? Where is it now? If Wickman saw it, it would still have been in the house after everyone left that afternoon.
