"John claims he carried her to bed that night. If he was wearing a shirt that shed fibers, one would assume that those fibers would be all over the outside of whatever she was wearing. Were they?"

Hmm, let's see.

John Ramsey lifted his sleeping child out of the car. One can assume that since the temperatures were rather low on the night of Dec. 25th, 1996, that he wore a coat--possibly buttoned/zipped. We know JonBenet was wearing a coat--possibly buttoned/zipped because John Ramsey stated he removed her coat and shoes once he had carried her up to bed.

Theoretically, some of the fibers from John Ramsey's shirt could have transferred to JonBenet's outer clothing at that time--except
nowhere does John Ramsey state he set JonBenet down, took off his own coat, and then picked her up again to carry her to bed.

Given that Kane did not say the fibers found on JonBenet were "consistent" with John's Israeli wool shirt, but only intimated that they were 'associated with' same shirt, I'd say Kane was fishin' for an admission and got zilch.

The majority of the dark, unsourced fibers were found on JonBenet's genitals--leading Meyer to assume she had been wiped down. I believe some of those same dark fibers were also found on her outer clothing--but my memory plays me false too frequently to state that as fact. Had those fibers found on JonBenet's genitalia been 'consistent' with John Ramsey's Israeli wool shirt, John Ramsey would most likely be sitting in a jail cell.

The name of Kane's game was still--nail the parents for this crime because the FBI says it is most often the parents who kill their kids--except Dr. Keppel's (et. al.) research study does not bear out this 'fact,' nor are there any indications of prior abuse (sexual or physical), mental illness or other history which precedes murder by parent.
