Jon Benet and her brother slept on different floors than the parents bedroom. There was a door leading to the basement where the body was found, and the light switch at the top of the stairs was in an unusual place inside the door leading to the basement. The stairs were completely darkened and you could not navigate them, especially carrying a child, if you weren't familiar with the layout, which is one of the reasons why they suspected the parents. Also, Jon Benet and her brother had a dog which slept near them and the dog never barked, which you would have expected which would have awaken the parents, had there been an intruder. The ransom note was written in longhand and believed to be Patsy's handwriting even though she tried to disguise it and a draft of the note was found in the trash. Patsy had on the same clothes that she had on the day before, although she had said that she had gone to bed and slept in nightcloths, and put on the same outfight she had worn the day before when she woke up that morning. Detectives did not believe that story.
