Burke reminds me of a young woman who many years ago smiled like that as she told me how her mother left her and her two little brothers on Christmas eve. They woke up to find that not only had Santa not come but their mother was gone and they were alone in the apartment. She never saw her mother again. I can still feel the chill that her expression did not fit the horror story of her childhood.
Burke also reminds me of a person I know with schizophrenia, inappropriately smiling at no one, in a dream world or his own private place. I can't even talk about Jonbennet without choking up but no one in that family ever chokes up.
Patsy actually cursed on the footage they showed of the police interrogation. Cursed.
