The document says PARACHUTE CORD!

This is the best so far, I think. I found a site that lets you zoom in on their photo.

 

Here's the cord around JonBenet's neck again (I refuse to call it a garrotte).

 

I call it a 'garrotte' (with the quote marks to show that is what they are calling it).

 

I hate to repeat this, and I guess it's just a matter of choice, but if you look it up in the dictionary, this cord used to strangle JonBenet is, in fact, a garrote.

It's a much broader term than just a cord with two handles.

In fact, it was used last century in some cultures to deliver the death penalty. I've seen historic pictures, once online, where the device was actually built into a chair, with a large rope that was encircled around the condemned's neck, attached to a mechanism that in fact twisted it by a handle, like a tourniquet.

So I will always, for brevity and accuracy, call it a garrote.

And until someone can show me the evidence that the bruises under the garrote are not proof that JonBenet was breathing and alive when the garrote was tightened around her neck, I'm going with what all the experts have stated without one exception: she died by strangulation from the cord around found around her neck.

 

Okay, fine, it's a garrotte!! But look at the weave of the last cord photo I put up and compare it to the one in the autopsy photo. oke: oke: Tell me that's not the same kind of cord, I dare ya!

 

I'm thinking it's looking the best match I've seen HM, so far. Thank you for these photos.

Merriam Webster spells garrotte both ways garrotte, garotte, so don't get your panties in a twist. girls. It's not a contest. British spelling, same deal. according to Britannica.

http://www.answers.com/topic/garrote

A garrote (a Spanish word; alternative spellings include garotte and garrotte) is a handheld weapon, most often referring to a ligature of chain, rope, scarf, or wire used to strangle someone to death. The term especially refers to an execution device, but is sometimes used in assassination because it can be completely silent. The garotte was allegedly employed by Thuggees. A garotte can be made out of many different materials, including ropes, tie wraps, fishing lines, nylon and iron wires. Due to its small size, it is easily concealed, and can, if made out of non-iron parts, bypass a metal-detector.

 

Sheesh, a bit touchy today? The RST propaganda shows do that to us, I know.

I would not say it's not the same cord. I think it could be, and now that we've seen it in black and white on DeMuth's original report, I think it probably is. They did a lot of work on that cord, and DeMuth was still in the middle of the case working it when he wrote that report, in May of '98, did he say? He wasn't taken off the case until four months later, he said. That's a year and 9 months after the murder. I simply can't imagine he'd have pulled "parachute cord" out of the air for his report.

HAPPY NOW? Or did somebody steal your crack pipe again?

 

I once looked up the spelling of garrote and it was pretty much any way you wanted to spell it: garrote, garote, garotte....

 

Oh, KK, I wasn't upset! It takes a lot more than that to get me riled up. Last night, that's another story...

We can talk about the cord all we want to, in whatever form, whatever it's called, wherever you can buy it, and nothing is going to change. We can't affect the outcome. And that is sure enough to drive me to drink, if not the bloody crack pipe! And, I think someone's stolen my Oreos...those black helicopters must have beamed them up... :beammeup:

 

I don't want to be a snitch or nothin'...but...I did see Zotto with black crumbs all in her teeth today....

 

:fishslap: That's for Zotto!

:eat: I just found an Oreo under the couch.

 

Me too, KK. More in life to worry about. I now fluctuate between British and American spelling, because I find myself now using both. Canadian spelling is closer to the British spelling. Most Americans know the British spelling from all the British books they come across.

 

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall this in Steve's book that they traced the cord and found identical cord being sold in McGauken's or whatever that hardware store was right in Boulder.

 

Just a tad insensitive pet...those black crumbs might be cavities...seeing as how certain divas haven't been pulling in the big bucks lately for their agents, so said agents can AFFORD to go to the dentist......

Drop that oreo RIGHT THIS MINUTE Heymom....I said DROP IT.....you obviously didn't read your contract small print when you signed on here which states VERY CLEARLY that I get 82% off the top of any past present and future earnings, benefits, wages, superannuation, Christmas pressies, gratuities, inheritances, AND OREOS!!!

It's lucky I'm one of those agents with a genuine heart of gold and I'm prepared to overlook such MINDLESS IGNORANCE....this time

 

Zotto,

I'm jealous of your kanga's little punchbag. I want one! :-(

 

::yes::
In the Sporting Goods Department.
And, even though the cash register receipt did not give enough detail to verify that Patsy had bought cord, it did have enough information to show that she did buy an item in the Sporting Goods Department earlier in December that was the same price as the cord.
That was from Steve's book.

 

Yeah Elle, it's probably appropriate with the way everyone's feeling today...we probably all want to punch a few lights out!!

 

OH, dear Zott...I only am on a temp hiatus. I'll be back bringing in the big bucks as soon as I get out of rehab, right after I get into rehab...which is just after I finish turning all the tricks I have to turn to support my crack habit for the next year....

And don't worry about those rotten teeth. It's the IN thing this year. All the Hollywood stars are doing it. They just use fake teeth for their movies, but in LA, it's Fight Club all the way, and they all look like us: :fight:

We're always ahead of the fashion curve, doncha' know, here in the guttah....

 

:couch: :runaway: :gottarun: already et the Oreo but you can have the 5-year-old Raisinette I found under the chair.

 

This document with the Parachute cord on it...

When my husband has to fire someone or they resign, company policy is that the person must be escorted off the premises immediately...they have to hand over ALL documents, files, ANYTHING that relates to the company and the job they were doing. This is to protect the company from intellectual theft or sabotage by a competitor.

Now can someone please explain why a detective in a murder case is allowed to leave the investigation with a cache of documents relating to that murder including crucial documents, photos, files etc...that eventually end up on a trashy tabloid style program? After the fact, why is this man not charged with any crime including perverting the course of justice? What if 'Parachute cord' was one of the things they held back?

Can anyone explain?
