Sparrow: Regarding your questions. I wish I knew the answers to those questions --- even to a single one of them. All I think any of us can do is speculate about them. My impression has been that this perpetrator would not confess to authorities unless it was obvious to him that it would be in his best interest to do so (overwhelming evidence of guilt). My impression of why he chose JonBenét rather that Burke is fundamentally that he is predominantly or completely heterosexual. If not, I think he would have chosen another family with a somewhat prominent son. My impression has always been that this perpetrator is on the periphery of the family --- knows them, but is not a close friend of the family.<P>Any or all of these impressions could easily be completely erroneous. Unlike some members of this forum, I am not psychic; I am sixth-sense disabled.<BR> <BR>
