That's an interesting photo of the chair blocking the train room, which I don't think I have ever seen before.
The strange thing is I don't think Fleet White was ever asked about that chair blocking the train room during his deposition, or it's a part of his deposition I have never seen.

Fleet White was the first person down to the train room that morning. My own opinion is that Fleet delibeately blocked that train room door in order to mislead the Boulder cops into thinking the room was not relevant during the initial search.
John Ramsey was candid about the matter in saying he was a bit mystified about the chair, as well he might be.
There is some background waffle about the chair on the Miss Marple website:
"Chair Blocking Door
•John Ramsey's Report. John Ramsey reported finding a chair blocking the door to the train room when he was in the basement on the morning of December 26. In his 1998 police interviews he stated (p. 155:lines 7-13): "I went in this room here. This door was kind of blocked. We had a bunch of junk down here and there was a chair that was in front of the door. Some old things. I moved the chair, went into this room, went back in here. This window was open, maybe that far." It is clear from the last sentence that John is referring to the train room.
•Why Didn't Fleet White Report a Chair Blocking Door? Internet poster Athena has pointed out that Fleet White, who had searched the basement that morning prior to John (6:06 AM), did not report this chair blocking the door even though he reported seeing the train room window. One possibility is that he simply forgot. A second is that to get into the train room, he may have moved the chair in front of the door leading to the wine cellar room. Since he also reports looking inside the wine cellar room that morning, he may have simply moved the chair back in front of train room door to unblock the door leading back to the wine cellar room, which was immediately adjacent (floor plan).
•Why Didn't Officer French Report a Chair Blocking Door? Many believe that Officer French inspected the basement immediately on his arrival at the house around 5:59 AM (chronology). But according to Steve Thomas's account, French did not search basement until after 8:10 AM (chronology). This is likely after John Ramsey searched the basement (in the 7:00-8:00 AM range), hence John presumably had moved the chair by that point.
•Could Intruder Leave Door Blocked? But this raises a question of how an intruder could get through that door to escape out the window and leave the chair blocking the door. Internet poster Tricia has elaborated on the isssues raised by John's evidence."

My point is the chair was not blocking the door. It was just inconveniently placed and likely weighed all of 2 pounds. You’d push it aside with your foot.

18 MIKE KANE: Okay. And then I think you
19 said you did go in the basement to see how
20 (INAUDIBLE) Could you like just picture that scene
21 again and walk me through it?
22 JOHN RAMSEY: Well, when I came down, I
23 mean, one of the things I noticed, okay, that DOOR
24 IS STILL BLOCKED?
25 MIKE KANE: What do you mean it was
0172
1 blocked?
2 JOHN RAMSEY: Well, THERE WERE SOME BOXES
3 and there was like a BARSTOOL KIND OF THING
4 SITTING THERE. IT WASN'T OBVIOUS TO ME THAT
5 ANYBODY HAD GONE THROUGH BECAUSE I HAD TO MOVE THE
6 CHAIR TO GET IN, which I did. And then I came back
7 in here and I noticed the window was broken, which
8 fits from when I did it. But the window was open
9 slightly.
1) That picture "moonjack" posted was definitely not a "bar stool."
2) The door to the train room opened inward. That explains how the chair could be pulled back in front of the door before closing it...but the question is WHY would an "intruder" do that? Why would such a thing even matter to them? How would/could that be some kind of "clever little clue?" A clue about WHAT? I think JR got just a little TOO defensive when Smit questioned him about that chair. And, as usual, Smit just let it go. Yeah. Hellov a great detective, that Smit. LOL

Not only that, how could an intruder who LEFT via the window pull that chair back in front of a closed door like that?

<quoted text>*** Bill Ramsey. is a small (135 lbs.), thin male who has had years of Karate training at numerous schools. He is very agile, aggressive and he has an explosive temper. His last girlfriend had beat marks about her upper body and cigarette burns as well. She was found dead. The local authorities stated Jennifer had a seizure! We all know about Sgt. Drew Peterson's wife who was found in her bath tub. The local authorities said it was an accidental drowning. She was murdered by her police officer / husband.* His friends / co-workers helped cover it up. He is now in jail. Back to Bill Ramsey---Did Bill ENTER the house via the lower, ground level window? The iron grate was moved and replaced. The grass was under the grate vs. along both sides of the grate. This indicated that the grate was lifted up and then returned to it's original position. Bill had many ways of LEAVING the house. IE. unlocked doors. Remember---He said he made routine trips every Christmas to retrieve his INHERITANCE. This year---HE WAS TOLD---NO MORE MONEY. JonBenet paid the price. I had grates at my last home. We also had snow on some ares of the property, but not on other areas of the same property.
