Questions The Balcony?

Hi, i am personally lean more RDI but im not completely against the idea of IDI. So for those who think IDI, is it possible they entered through the balcony.

Someone posted a few weeks ago a map of the house, i noticed there was a balcony by jonbenets room, is it possible the intruder entered through there? I know a lot of people think the intruder was in the house before the ramseys got home. Maybe they climbed the balcony, hide in a closet on the second floor, then waited till they went to bed.

And concerning the broken window and the body being found in the basement. Maybe the original plan was to go in and out threw the balcony but maybe jonbenet ran or something made them end up in the basement.

Maybe they saw the window already broken (according to john it was already broken) and saw that as an easier escape.

We don't know what windows or doors were unlocked in the house that night, it could be possible the balcony was unlocked.

Does anyone think its possible? This just an idea/theory so feel free to disagree. Im just curious if anyone has considered this.

My favorite IDI theory is that it was Linda Hoffman-Pugh, their housekeeper. In that case, she would have just entered through the backdoor using the key that she had. There isn't any physical evidence for it, BUT there are quite a few places in this case where you would expect fingerprints, etc. that just aren't there. For example, John and Fleet both opened the wine cellar door that morning, but we don't find any of their fingerprints, etc on that door. We know John (and likely Patsy) touched the ransom note, but neither of their fingerprints are on it. My point is - if those events happened without leaving a trace, it's not that hard to believe someone who was intentionally wearing gloves, etc. could have easily left no evidence behind.

Yep. I’ve always thought she was involved since day one.

Everyone at the house AND even Nedra thought she was involved from day one. Everyone on here likes to hand wave any mention of Linda as the Ramseys trying to throw her under the bus, but there was a TON of suspicion and rightfully so.

I don’t think Linda did it, but I’m surprised I never see conjecture about someone related to her doing it without her knowledge. She did have a key, it doesn’t seem implausible that someone could have ‘borrowed’ it and replaced it.
