burke snuck downstairs

since burke snuck downstairs to play with a toy that night, i feel like it only makes sense that the family was involved. burke said he remembers sneaking downstairs after everyone went to bed. how did he not see anyone or hear anything? i think it happened like this: burke went downstairs to play with toys, made himself a snack (pineapple and milk), and JBR heard and came downstairs. she tried to eat his pineapple and he got mad and hit her with the flashlight he was using. then the family covered it up.

edit: i’ve done a lot of research involving this case and the netflix documentary doesn’t do it justice. i’m open to all theories! it’s such a complicated case.
