Who Killed Jon Bonet Ramsey

[Itsonlybridgetagain]

Anyone watching it on Netflix? Half way through the 2nd episode.

not a shred of evidence against the family so far but that ransom note is so so odd

that poor poor girl 😔😔

*ransom note

Or what sort of scary kidnapper writes 'use some of your good southern common sense'. Ridiculous. Patsy wrote the note.

A known pedo making it look like ransom ?

Because they brought up the 2016 documentary and dissed it without explaining why it was incorrect.

If you want to change people's minds then you need to give them more than just threats to sue.

By not discussing the pineapple when a lot of people see that as crucial evidence speaks volumes.

Which podcasts, please? I’d like to give them a listen

This is a very well summarised article across all points

Patsy wrote the ransom note 100%. Look at the handwriting comparison. In the sample she even slips up on a few occasions by writing the letter a in the unusual way the ransom note does, when she was clearly trying not to do that. Despite what this documentary claims, she wasnt ruled out by handwriting experts, they just couldnt say categorically that it was or wasn't her. Why would you write a note to throw the police off the scent if someone in the house wasn't involved?

This case has captivated me since I was 9 years old. I remember reading about it during 'free computer time' at school.

If I had to choose between knowing the secrets of the universe or how JBR was really killed I'd probably go for the latter.

I've listened to every podcast, watched every documentary, I go over and over it in my mind.

It's evidence JB had a snack after being put to bed. She is more than capable of walking down some stairs and opening a fridge door.

Complaining that this doco doesn't reference and address every piece of evidence used in other docos or the dozen plus books on the case is really missing the point of putting forward an alternative that shows up instead the plice bungles, missteps, and the dogged pursuit of the Ramseys by an unexperienced lead detective who was previously on the drug squad. It was a homicide from Dec 26 and should have been led by a homicide detective with experience of such cases.

Except John wasn't from the south. He was born in Nebraska and raised in Michigan.

Not only that but who would risk life in prison or the death penalty for a meagre $118,000. Even in the mid-90s that was nothing, for a "small foreign faction" to survive on. How would that small amount advance some sort of revolutionary cause, or whatever?

John worked for a gigantic, powerful defense contracting firm whose major client was and is the US government. Surely it would make more sense to kidnap HIM and ask the employer for ransom, than to be bumbling around a suburban house on Christmas Day evening trying to kidnap a six-year-old for a small amount of money.

It's ridiculous. Burke accidentally injured her, dragged her around by the "garrotte," the parents realized it and being as image-conscious as they are, and wanting to keep their son from a life of being stigmatized as 'the kid who killed his sister with a torch' created this cover-up scenario. It was their good fortune that the cops who were dispatched on Boxing Day morning had the IQs of overripe bananas.

Wow! I actually mistook her sample for the letter

Not only that but who would risk life in prison or the death penalty for a meagre $118,000. Even in the mid-90s that was nothing, for a "small foreign faction" to survive on. How would that small amount advance some sort of revolutionary cause, or whatever?

There was never a small foreign faction. That is an adolescent-brained fantasy of what a ransom note would say. The entire thing is either culled from or influenced by movies.

Who is "he" who "even dedicated 20 minutes to people who were apparently suspects but have been ruled out."

You seem to be confusing Amy's father with Joe Berlinger.

I am talking about John Ramsey in the Netflix documentary he made backed. The third episode goes off down a rabbit hole bringing up all sorts of random suspects long since ruled out. But it helps keep the ridiculous intruder theory open to a whole new audience.

Well, I'm talking about Amy's father who was interviewed by reporters in 2022 (as per links provided).

This is ridiculous. A nine year old bashing his sister’s head in, fashioning a garotte, and slowly strangling her, and sexually assaulting her with a paint brush? A nine year old? Who wouldn’t have that much more strength than a six year old.

I do not understand why people keep referring to the family ‘staging it’ after JonBenet’s death. She was slowly strangled to death and haemorrhaged as a result. She was sexually assaulted with a paintbrush. This isn’t an accident gone wrong. It’s the work of a psychopath.

$118,000 then is worth $237,000 now, so quite a lot of money, but maybe not to the Ramsey's.

Mentioned already on this thread, but some theorists have said that if there was an intruder then the intruder saw the bonus figure of $118K in John's paperwork in John's desk and decided he'd that amount. But as people have said here, that would be a usually thoughtful kidnapper / sicko paedophile. The note also refers to dialogue from some films, including the Mel Gibson film Ransom.

So the amount makes me think that Patsy or John may have written that note, to suggest one of John's disgruntled colleagues wrote it.

Yes, dialogue from Dirty Harry, Ruthless People, Speed, Nick of Time, and Ransom, among others.

The Consult (FBI profilers) and the Prosecutors

Why would they write the note?

To deflect from them.

Then again, I was just reflecting - would this middle aged couple really know dialogue off by heart from the films listed above?

So they jointly slowly strangled and sexually assaulted their child?

I think that’s unlikely, but more likely one of them killed JB, the other covered, and Burke sexually assaulted her.

So now we’ve got one parent covering for the other killing their daughter? Why would they cover it? And a nine year old comes across his dead sister and instead of feeling deeply distressed he sexually assaults her body?

Absolutely bat shit.
