I wouldn't doubt it if Burke had done it all...hit her over the head, tied that thing around her neck and wrists...and then, at some point, poked her back with the train track to see if she were still alive.

@Daisy Sunflower, exactly, clearly the person who said no one said Burke did it all hasn't read the thread.
I believe Burke did it all, hit her, strangled her twice with the cord, and pushed the train tracks (hard) into her skin.
At that point either Patsy or Patsy and John together did the following:
wiped clean the flashlight and the batteries (which is a huge clue)'
wiped her her body clean
re-dressed her in her favorite nightgown and the size 12 panties (JB was a size 6) Patsy had bought her niece for Christmas (and in crime scene photos you can see some of the gifts are ripped open haphazardly)
put the doll next to her
maybe made the fake garrotte that was not secured to her arms or maybe not
wrapped her in the blanket;
wote the ransom note after practicing a few times and ripping out those pages not knowing the police could read the writing through them anyway (some think John dictated it to Patsy, the one sure thing is it's Patsy's handwriting)
called their lawyers
called their friends
called their Reverend
called 911 and you can hear them talking to Burke who they said was asleep at the time and John says to him "We're not talking to you" and Patsy says, "Sweetie, what did you do? What did you do?" and it's debatable whether Burke says, "They're gonna arrest me" (which they could not have done and the Ramseys already knew that) and then the phone is put securely on the cradle
had their friends clean up and victim's advocates clean up making it impossible to dust for fingerprints
BUT:
what was left alone -- because the Ramseys did not know JonBenet ate the pineapple that is the single most damning evidence in this case -- what was left alone on the counter in plain sight and without fingerprints removed like the flashlight, was the bowl of pineapple with Patsy's and Burke's fingerprints
Patsy told LE she never saw that bowl
Burke told Dr. Phil he couldn't remember their favorite snack and when prompted by Dr. Phil/their mutual attorney mentioned the pineapple
then instead of talking to LE like every other parent of every other kidnapped or murdered child, they hustled Burke out of the house (where Fleet White would see him demonstrate to his son how JonBenet was hit on the head)
flew to Atlanta and gave an interview not to the police but to CNN
negotiated for months and months and months to talk to the police and were given the questions in advance by pals at the DA's office and higher up in government
refused to produce evidence. fibers were found on JonBenet, especially under the duct tape on her mouth (staging) (and hello, Casey Anthony evidence) but Patsy refused to produce the jsweater jacket. when she finally "complied" she gave them a brand-new one that had never been laundered and still had the folds on it
on and on and on and the grand jury confirms it and frankly Burke's interview with Dr. Phil had the opposite effect intended
