so loosely around JonBenét’s wrists that they left no telltale marks or abrasions on her skin.
Another piece of similar looking cord was embedded in JonBenét’s neck. The loop around her head was determined to be configured with a slip knot, with the trailing end leading from the midline of the back of her neck and wrapped around a splintered stick. The stick measured approximately four and a half (4 ½”) inches in length, and both ends were splintered. The word “Korea” was printed on the stick.
The trailing end of the cord extended approximately four (4”) inches beyond the slip knot, and the end of the cord was frayed. The length of cord departing the portion of the slip knot encircling JonBenét’s neck to the stick measured approximately seventeen (17”) inches. The end of the cord that had been wrapped around the stick was observed to be burned / melted.
The cord around her neck was situated in a horizontal fashion with a slight vertical cant as it reached the back of her jaw line. This position indicated that the cord had been applied manually and was not consistent with a death caused by a vertical hanging.
Hair from JonBenét’s head was entangled in the slip knot, and it appeared that force had been applied by pulling on the end of the cord with the wrapped stick, embedding the cord in the flesh of her neck. Dr. Meyer had to clip some of JonBenét’s hair in order free the ligature from her neck.
The stick was later determined to be a portion of a broken paintbrush handle found in an art tray near the entrance to the Wine Cellar. The slip knot was situated at the rear of her head, so it was presumed that JonBenét had been facing away from the perpetrator as they had tightened the noose around her neck.
Dr. Meyer carefully cut, marked, and removed the garrote from JonBenét’s neck. The remaining furrow was dark red in color and revealed how deeply embedded the cord had been buried into the flesh of her neck.
An examination of her eyelids and the conjunctiva of her eyes revealed the presence of petechial hemorrhages, pinpoint blood vessels that had burst when JonBenét had been strangled. These hemorrhages indicated that JonBenét had been alive when the garrote had been applied and tightened around her throat.
A triangular shaped bruise was observed on the front of JonBenét’s throat and below the line of the embedded cord. It was approximately the size of a quarter and located left of the midline of her throat.
Dried mucous from her nose had been smeared down the right lip and cheek. Marks from the straight edge of the duct tape that had once been placed over her mouth appeared visible, suggesting that the mucous was already in place before the duct tape had been applied.

There was an orange-red colored circular shaped mark on JonBenét’s right cheek, between her ear and jaw line of undetermined origin.
Paper bags had been secured over JonBenét’s hands before she had been removed from the living room of her home the previous evening. These were removed and the fingernails of each hand were carefully clipped into envelopes with the hopes that DNA, epithelial cells, or trace blood evidence would be there to help identify her attacker(s).
A heart drawn in red ink was observed in the palm of her left hand.
JonBenét’s clothing was removed and bagged for the collection of other trace fibers and evidence that might be present. Obvious items of trace evidence, fibers, hair, were collected from the clothing before they were removed from her body and bagged.
Upon their removal, the underwear and long-johns were observed to contain dried, yellowish colored urine stains and the underwear contained two
