very well, after he took JBR, may have thought the suitcase would work...why else would JBR have fibers from the interior on her? That's when things may have started unravelling...when he couldn't figure out how to get her out of the house. <P>I wonder if they did microscopic analysis on the top of the suitcase---and found any of the mold from the cellar floor on it? How the suitcase was taken in as evidence so material on it would be preserved? <P>I don't think the perp thought past taking JBR---and the alarm stickers may have thrown him off----he didn't know if the alarm was on or not.
