There was a lot of movement going on that night at least by three individuals , there is no way that much movement accrued in quiet house while two grownups slept upstairs , any parent would have jumped and investigated any slight movement. , it could be that someone familiar was with kids in the kitchen making them snacks. While both parents or one of them is aware of what’s going down stairs , nothing out of the norm ,small kids too excited to sleep are well just being kids.

Patsy says there is no way she’d use the dinner spoon for the pineapples it’s not something she’d do, but I think that’s something we all did when we are trying to put our DCs to bed late at night and are extremely tired and suddenly they say we are hungry we want some strawberries or whatever , I certainly wouldn’t bother what cutlery I serve the strawberries with as long as they eat them and go to bed.

Well if you’d not bother what spoon you use, that must mean that the Ramseys also wouldn’t, and ergo they killed their child.

No amount of lack of sleep would ever make me serve a yoghurt with a dessert spoon and not a teaspoon. Just wouldn’t do it. I don’t think yoghurt served with a dessert spoon means anything but sometimes people eat yoghurt with dessert spoons. And nor should anyone else.

Also what was the MOTIVE if we are to believe this was an unknown assailant?

First it was a kidnapping for money, then for some unknown reason the kidnapper decided to sexually abuse and murder the child, inflicting TWO fatal attacks up to 2 hours apart, before the ransom note was even found so they obviously didn’t really want the money?

There was between 45 mins and 2 hours between the head injury and the strangulation IIRC so this person stayed in the house for up to an hour minimum practicing writing ransom notes, having already mortally wounded JonBenet (the head injury). Did the ‘kidnapper’ not think her body would be found in the basement before the ransom was paid out?

Shocking that anyone actually buys their story. They really didn’t think it out very well either. If it was supposed to be a kidnapping gone wrong, why the sexual injuries? Only possible reason could be is to cover up for when JonBenet’s body was checked for sexual injuries (which she would have been as a murder victim) and evidence of historic sexual abuse would be seen.

Yes. Why would an unknown assailant want to abuse a child? Let’s think.

This is utter rubbish though, isn’t it? It wasn’t staged. She haemorrhaged because she was slowly strangled.

What is utter rubbish? Why would a kidnapper spend some time in the house writing a lengthy ransom note wanting John’s bonus then inflict two fatal injuries at least 45 minutes apart (the head injury was unsurvivable but didn’t kill her immediately IIRC) and spend further time sexually abusing her causing severe genital injuries, then leave her body to be found in the house?

Surely you’d take her with you so you could get the money before it was discovered she was dead?

If you were disturbed trying to get her out of the house during the kidnapping so left her there, why stay there to strangle her and sexually abuse her? You’d leave immediately.

Was the motive kidnapping for ransom or sexual abuse and murder? There always a motive and the Ramsey went to some lengths to convince the police it was a kidnapping.

What do you mean about the haemorrhaging? There was haemorrhaging proving she was still alive when she was strangled yes as the head injury hadn’t killed her yet. Are you saying she didn’t have the head injury as well?

We shed around 400,000 skin cells per day. We shed DNA, cough DNA and flush away DNA constantly. Police need fewer than ten of these cells to analyse them as trace DNA.

And how do they get on a child’s underwear and under her fingernails?

No, I’m saying that the people who claim the head injury killed her and the rest of it was staged are talking bollocks - because the strangulation killed her as evidenced by the haemorrhaging.

Where is the evidence the head injury and strangulation were 45 minutes apart?

There was clearly no kidnapper. Just someone playing for time, who could’ve well been in the house for hours.

The motive? Paedophilia.

This is untrue.

Of course it's true. There is a link to an open letter to the Grand Jury posted by one of the couple friends of the Ramseys who were there that night on this thread. Read it.

Firealarm1414 · 02/12/2024 20:16

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?

Edited

Note clearly written by the mother. She clearly was a co- conspirator as there would be no need for the note otherwise. Also , this note is war and peace ! Not the panicked actions of a kidnapper trying to get in and out with a child.

I have always believed this child was being abused (sexually or otherwise) Some of the photos of her are pretty sexualised and show her as an “adult” in the make up and stances etc. I know this happens in pageants, but there is something about this child behaving so impeccably that’s it’s not natural for her age, like she has been conditioned. The family dynamics are weird here, and it’s always felt off to me. The note is absolutely the mother’s, also, so for whoever killed that little angel, her mother was covering for them.

Because we touch things and then touch other things and it moves around.

Are you ok? You seem very, very heated by people not agreeing with you.

DwarfBeans · 04/12/2024 08:10

I have to agree with this to the point where it's not really a discussion thread anymore so it's pointless contributing.

The bottom line is that no-one knows for certain what happened. You can take every bit of 'evidence' and argue opposite view points.

For example some say the garrotte was tight. Others say it was tight due to the corpse swelling. I'm not an expert so I've no idea. And I've watched enough true crime documentaries to know that even experts get it wrong.

What I do know is that had the parents been poor we probably wouldn't even know who JBR was. A pp made a good point about the Menendez brothers.

dayswithaY · 04/12/2024 08:51

The Menendez brothers are alive and can talk about the abuse they suffered, JonBenet can’t.

Also, at the time of their trial the media ridiculed them and few people believed that they had been victims of sexual abuse and instead, saw it as a desperate excuse to avoid jail. It’s hard to believe that those attitudes now.

I agree. The case is like a kaleidoscope, the same fragments forming different patterns every time you turn it. You can take every piece of known evidence and arrange it in a different pattern, and suddenly it's clear it was XYZ who did it.

DelphineFox · 04/12/2024 10:08

Could the pants have been brand new and handled in the factory and got onto her nails by her handling the pants?

whathaveiforgotten · 04/12/2024 10:56

@XelaM

Also their friends who were in the house that night all turned on them and tried to get the police and DA's office to actually do their jobs because it was so obviously a cover up.

Is this true? I can't remember reading this - can you share the source?

Pointless contributing ie. the continuous allegations that one of JonBenet’s family killed her are being challenged and I don’t like it because none of the evidence stacks up against them.

It was the DNA of a white man and they followed the entire supply chain back to China and no white man was involved.

No it isn’t true. It wasn’t ‘all’ their friends. They didn’t ’turn on them’. They do not accuse the Ramseys of murder in that letter.

I'm actually starting to think you're one of the Ramseys. How can you say there is no evidence against the family?! Just because they weren't caught on camera and the evidence is circumstantial doesn't mean that there is no evidence. The intruder version of events is the one that absolutely does not stack up at any level. Apart from all the other impossibilities, the ransom note simply could not have been written by an intruder. The ransom note is very strong evidence of no outsider being involved. So if the starting point is that the ransom note was written by Patsy it could only have been one of the family who killed her.

But that isn’t the starting point. People like to think that that note was written by Patsy, because they were able to rule out John or Burke having written it, and therefore people have decided Patsy wrote it. But why would she?

If an intruder was in that house whilst the family was out on Christmas Day, they had hours undisturbed to write that note.

Some of the world’s leading experts on forensics and criminal psychology agree that it was not perpetrated by an intruder. Others disagree.

Don’t let it wind you up so much.

Pootle40 · 04/12/2024 12:26

You are being ridiculous @O6bftdff to say there is not a single shred of evidence pointing to the Ramsey's. Your position appears to be based only on what the Ramsey's say or from their experts. Anything that doesn't fit - you are saying isn't true. The 45 minutes (at least) between head blow and death is not a disputed fact by any side you just won't hear the Ramsey's make much comment on this except something like 'it was someone with a sick mind'. I kind of gave up on this thread because I wondered if you were Lin Wood the way you were reacting. Very blinkered.

Gosh, what do you think an intruder with an interest in little girls might be doing in the 45 minutes or however long it was between head blow and death by slow strangulation?

Pootle40 · 04/12/2024 12:33

Probably getting lost in a large messy house in the dark looking for objects to make some sort of weapon out for his kidnapping because he forgot to bring anything with him despite stalking the house out for weeks to get familiar with it.

No idea who Lin Wood is. Where is this evidence that points to the Ramseys? There is never any given. Real evidence I mean. Not ‘JonBenet ate pineapple so her parents must have killed her’ or ‘there was no footprints in the snow so her brother obviously killed her in a fit of temper’. There is no evidence.
