The White Pineapple Bowl

With PR's prints on the bowl, it pretty much rules out that BR took the bowl out of the the fridge.
Now there is one other consideration- PR was described by her housekeepers as sloppy, untidy, messy. She and the kids were known for never putting anything back where it belonged. That pineapple could have been out on the table for days. JBR COULD have helped herself to it that night without her parents knowing it.
However, if that were the innocent explanation for how it got into her stomach, why didn't the parents simply say so? Why didn't PR say that she never put the pineapple away, and so that's how her daughter probably got to it. It's the fact that she LIED about even owning the bowl (at first). It's the things the Rs lied about- things that didn't need to be lied about- that make me believe they are guilty something.
Even the tea bag in the glass doesn't necessarily mean that it was drunk at the same time as the pineapple was eaten. And it doesn't mean that tea was actually IN the glass. Many times when a cup or mug of tea is steeped, the tea bag is put into another container on the table, and an empty glass would be a likely place.
Again, its what they try to distance themselves from. So someone made tea. So BR handled the glass. So what? Why lie and deny?

I thought it was the other way round, and Burke's fingerprints WERE on the bowl. Burke's and Patsy's, both.

We need a tie-breaker here- can anyone find this? I've read both.

I seem to remember that both Patsy's and Burke's were on that bowl, too.

I know that it was reported in the last documentary about the case. It said new evidence and I believe they reported that Burke's fingerprints were also on the bowl and also the glass of tea.

You should see a screengrab of the paperwork from the Schiller documentary which states:

Breakfast room #415 & #417
a. Pineapple bowl
i. Patricia and Burke's fingerprints
b. Glass on the table in north dining room
i. Burke Ramsey's fingerprints

Thanks so much Why Nut. Thank you.

The listing is a bit confusing: so the breakfast room is the same as the north dining room?
