    IMHO, vinyl-covered wire is the best candidate for the mystery object. It is difficult for any rope-like cord to maintain the straightness of the prong-like extensions shown in the photo unless there is something that reinforces the rigidity. Wire under the white vinyl coating would provide that.

    The Ramseys bought the house on 15th Street in November 1991 and Patsy had the ugly stucco addition put on the original Tudor brick in 1992. There was lots of re-wiring done for the remodel, and it's conceivable the mystery object was some kind of wire left over from that project.

    Clever girl, Cherokee! A good comparison!

    Thanks, Elle. Hopefully, it makes it a little bit easier to see the results of Cynic's excellent experiment. :)

    It does! You are all so good with these photos Cherokee! If I was a real detective working on this case, I would come here and copy all your posts! [​IMG]

    Oh, that Stansport cord you bought is handy! Clearly the mystery figure is much more narrow. Good job, peeps! :clap:

    You can pack up and go too KK! [​IMG] You will be of great assistance to them! I would pin a medal on you if I had one! btw
    these little string figures remind me of the little stick figures I like to draw.

    After comparing cynic's photos to the original, I'm thinking it's too small to be a straw? But you make a good point about the pinch at the top. I don't think an electrician would let a wire crimp like that, would he/she?

    Of course, if someone was using it for something else, maybe kids playing with some leftover...?

    Add this to our list of things to check out when we break into...I mean, when the case is solved....

    Oh, you're sweet, but I'd never make it in the FBI because I ask too many questions.

    I agree on the stick figures. That's why I was thinking it looked like something kids might make in a craft exercise at school or something.

    Could the white vinyl-coated wire thing have been used as a means of training a plant so that its branches grow a certain way?

    That could certainly be one use for that type of coated wire.

    It looks like a Christmas angel to me.
    If it is I wonder if they could have been making these as ornaments the night of the Christmas party when they made the gingerbread houses?
    This one obviously wasn't finished.

    Good suggestion, Karen!

    Hey, KK
    I noticed this screenshot over at WS.
    Looks like Stansport cord to me.

    Didn't we have this discussion before? :laughup:

    One would think that the crime scene processors might have collected that little piece of cord, wouldn't one?

    On the other hand, maybe it went the way of the package of size 12-14 Bloomies the Ramseys seem to have disappeared...twice now.

    Why are we back to this cord KK? Fill me in please! I have a bad summer cold and can't be bothered backtracking! [​IMG]

    I'm just ribbing cynic.

    I think his point is this is a much better photo than we've had to work with before.

    It does look like Stansport when viewed in this shot.

    At the very least it appears that someone had something very similar in their window well the night a murdered child was found nearby strangled with Stansport cord.

    Thanks to whomever got this screen shot, and thanks cynic for bringing it to our attention. I'm going to add it to the case library.

    :eek:

    Patsy blew it on that one! John came UP from the basement screaming??? OK, then, right there, we have the moment of the head blow! When else would John have screamed from the basement?? He didn't scream when he found Jon-Benet, he just brought her upstairs. OMG Patsy gave the detectives the crime and they just blew right by it!

    To me, that little piece of cord looks like packing string. Not cotton twine, but the stuff they use around packages that is shiny plastic, KWIM? It doesn't tear, but you can cut it. Does not look at all like the same cord that was tied around Jon-Benet's neck and hands, which was a matte with a texture.
