Fingerprints, you ask? Yes, they did dust for that, thank goodness! On the bowl were found PRs and BRs fingerprints. On the glass were found only BR’s fingerprints. Some have taken PR’s fingerprints as evidence of probable guilt. We demur. For the woman of the house to have fingerprints on any dish or setting is not surprising and should raise no alarm bells. But BR’s fingerprints are another matter. It seems more likely that this was a BR contrivance for reasons unknown. We say that because of the presence of his fingerprints, his age which indicates that he didn’t understand the proper role of each of the dishes and that he possessed knowledge required to know what to serve as a favored treat to both persons. The light to the family breakfast room where this occurred was off the morning the police arrived. If it remained so during the night, it could easily go unnoticed by someone moving about in the kitchen and basement. So, did PR and/or JR know about this? If you will recall from the autopsy, we know that JBR consumed some of the pineapple. For these reasons we know that PR and JR were either; not truthful, ignorant, or mistaken regarding this matter. We shall see later however that evidence of attempted deception by BR regarding this event exists. This is because he claimed he could not recall the event despite its occurrance that night and despite his fingerprints on the dishes. But additional information suggests that our initial hypothesis may be incorrect due to the constraints given by three events. First, it appears unlikely to us that BR would have turned the light off if no adult were present. Second, after extensive actual experimentation, the passage rate for the pineapple to its known location at death could not have exceeded 30 minutes, contrary to the time frames usually put out (and it thus seems unlikely that JBR’s death would occur within 30 minutes of the pineapple event without others involved in the event not also being involved in the attack). Third, the pineapple was actually a milk and pineapple mix, something a 10 year-old child would not likely put together. We think it more likely that BR was asked to set the table by an adult and that the adult prepared the food. See the screen capture below (credit to WHY_NUT and courttv): 
A motion picture frame capture of the fingerprint result for dishes on the family breakfast room table on 26 December, 1996 Since the presenting question is whether or not we can determine if any of the Ramsey’s were up later in the night, we will shortly see that we do in fact have the information needed to decide which of the three alternatives we should choose; deception, ignorance or oversight on the part of the Ramseys. The caveat is that we can only resolve that in a statistical sense: for all the statements made and the evidence available, how many instances do we have of evidence indicating that someone was up that night? If there are many (we’ll define that shortly) then it is more likely than not that the proper choice is “deception”. That takes us to our second inconsistency in the list. 2.) A neighbor witnessed lights and movement in the kitchen area between 12 and 2 a.m. the night of JBR’s murder. Someone was up. It seems unlikely in the extreme that an intruder or non-family member would be making such a racket if JR, BR and PR were not aware of their presence. This is the second piece of evidence suggesting deception in the JR/PR version of events. 3.) BR stated that JBR walked up the spiral staircase under her own power after they returned home. JR stated that he carried her to bed and that she never woke up. This is the third inconsistency in the JR/PR version of events. BR was interviewed on multiple occasions regarding the question of whether or not anyone was up during the night. 
Second floor plan layout with comments, note audible isolation of BR’s bedroom Detective Steve Thomas of the Boulder City Police department wrote: “With his legs pulled up and his chin on his knees, Burke said he played some Nintendo on the afternoon of December 25. When showed a photograph of the pineapple and bowl, he recognized the bowl. That showed it belonged in the house and not brought in by an intruder. He recalled nothing unusual at the Whites' party other than getting a mild shock from the electric deer fence outside. He said his sister fell asleep in the car on the way home but awakened to help carry presents into the house of a friend. When they got home, JonBenet walked in slowly and walked up the spiral stairs to bed, just ahead of Patsy. That was quite a difference from the initial and frequently repeated story that she was carried to bed. I felt that this poor kid was confused and that he really had no idea what had happened that night.
