I think Burke too

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 01/10/2016 09:29

I've lost HOURS reading websluths!!

Is the recent Burke interview available on YouTube? I had a brief look but could only find snippets.

tumbletastic · 01/10/2016 09:34

I thought john Douglas was at the home within hours of the death. He was a retired FBI profiler but he was a family friend. It's in his book the 'cases that still hasn't us' haven't read it in years.
Going back to it I think but was under impression he didn't think anyone inside was responsible. I doubt that!

I believe it had to have been a Ramsey too. Most probably Burke with his parents covering up what happened.

That random note has to have been written by Patsy, the letter q's are written exactly the same way as she does them.

tumbletastic · 01/10/2016 09:48

No read it briefly it was 9th January he net them.

For those with Kindle Unlimited- a book by James Kolar ( ex detective on the case) called Foreign Faction is free to borrow.

Thanks jesus!

GladysKravitz · 04/10/2016 23:27

I'm confused - the documentary I watched (The Case of JonBenet Ramsey) only has two episodes on youtube and on the usual download sites - is the episode with the paedophile definitely the third in the series or was it a separate documentary? Was Laura Richards or the other experts in it? At the end of the second episode it didn't seem like it was continuing, and there was no trail for a third episode. I don't have the ID channel.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 04/10/2016 23:36

There were 3 episodes on the recently shown telly series.

The expert panel with body language experts etc was the YouTube 2 parter.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 05/10/2016 00:02

Jesus thanks so much. I read his reddit AMA and was interested in the book. 9 euros you've saved me. Cheers. Flowers

JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam · 05/10/2016 10:36

I just waist the Steve Thomas one was free too. £18 on Amazon for an actual book and I can't find it on kindle.

I may be a tad over invested in this case.

GladysKravitz · 05/10/2016 17:08

Thanks Dame, it was the CBS one I watched.

JesusDontWantMeForASunbeam · 06/10/2016 16:11

The Craven Silence is also free to borrow on kindle. Just started reading it but it's about the case.

HalfShellHero · 06/10/2016 21:44

I watched episode 1 on ID are the others on demand?

BeyondPolkadots · 08/10/2016 16:26

I found the cbs one on YouTube, the ID one is repeated in a few days so I'm waiting for it to record. Fell down a websleuths rabbit hole though, still reading through their threads. Read the Reddit AMAs too.

I certainly have a theory of what happened, but I know it's frowned on to elaborate. I'll go as far as saying I'm team RDI though

I've just watched the most recent documentaries about this. I've always been so incredulous about the claim an intruder broke into the house. It's just so unlikely to happen. The Ramsey's were very rich - they would have had a burglar alarm in any case. It would have been very risky.

I didn't know all the stuff about Burke but it sounds as if he definitely resented his sister having hit her with a golf club the year before. I can understand the parents wanting to cover for him though. At Christmas a lot of kids behave out of character because of all the excitement and it would have been very late. How sad for Jonbenet though. The main impression I got from the documentary is that the case wasn't solved because the Ramsey's distanced themselves and a smoke screen was created.

Manumission · 26/12/2016 10:01

Finally managed to watch the second episode.

I don't know what the answer is (the intruder theory has never made sense and the ransom note was always obviously melodramatic nonsense) but large chunks of that programme seem tenuous to me.

The picking over of the tapes of the child's interviews with the psychologist and the investigator was really uncomfortable. Especially as the two doing the picking have no expertise in child psychology or development.

Traumatised behaviour can look 'odd'. Once you get to the stage of resorting to "aye he's a queer bird that one" as part of your analysis, it's all a bit barrel-scraping and I'm not sure using video of a 9 year old taken in those circumstances is very ethical anyway.

The "recovery" of lost audio from the 911 tape early in the first episode also seemed like ink blot staring to me. Could anybody hear what we were being told was there? It sounded like static to me.

I don't know. It didn't feel like quality broadcasting to me. I feel a bit grubby now.

BertrandRussell · 26/12/2016 10:09

Yep. Because nothing says "entertainment" quite like the unsolved murder of a child........

Manumission · 26/12/2016 10:12

Well it certainly wasn't a Panorama, a Dispatches or a Rough Justice.

CalmItKermitt · 26/12/2016 12:25

The audio "enhancement" was laughable. Comparable to hearing phrases in a song played backwards, or finding "words" in white noise.

Manumission · 26/12/2016 12:37

Yes Kermitt! That's exactly what it was like. Bizarre.
