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 😔😔

Not watched the documentary.

I have never been able to get past the ransom note. That just can't be explained.
And, as pp said, some experts do not believe there was conclusive sexual abuse and think the foreign DNA was minute.

I think the family did it.

Patsy was ruled out by the handwriting experts, actually.

If she wrote the note, why did she ignore her own note and immediately call the police?

You think Scott Peterson is innocent???

@TENSsion my thoughts exactly ! Of course he did!

I mean........ how can anyone think Scott Peterson was innocent?

@monkfruitmartini patsy couldn't be ruled out actually but nobody could say it was definitely her handwriting

It was definitely an inside family job, if her brother didn't do it, he knows something.

@monkfruitmartini it's a good point I always thought WHY did they phone the police if they had been told not to because their child would be killed. They didn't seemingly hesitate to phone the police so I actually thought that was odd as in they knew the letter wasn't serious.

Omg 😦 you think Scott Peterson is innocent?!? WHAAAAAAT?!? Is this you Scott?

I’ve watched it all on Netflix now and I thought Ramsey was very convincing! but it did feel like they glossed over things, they didn’t mention parties they’d had in the days previously for example.

The note and the theory of an intruder just doesn’t seem to add up. I think the DNA they have is corrupted, and I wonder if with newer techniques and re-testing they might get somewhere.

The same people who think that ransom note was written by an intruder

Why do you think that of Burke? He was only 9 years old at the time. Are people forgetting what 9 year olds are actually like?

She wasn't ruled out by ALL handwriting experts by far. Again, the political and business connections in Boulder absolved the Ramsays where others would have been prosecuted.

She ignored the note because she knew it was fake, and bodies decompose.

Why did she not change clothes all night?
Why did she tell John the note said not to call the police when her own testimony to the police said she just glanced at the top page of the note and rushed to John?

The list of questions goes on.

I would suggest that anyone truly interested in the case go to Websleuths.com; there is a vast archive of material there.

Also this is interesting: http://www.acandyrose.com/s-evidence-ransom-note.htm

And they call.

Remember, there was no phone call received. And John was on the phone trying to summon his private pilot to whisk the family out of state, leaving his little daughter's dead body behind.

The body that was covered with a blanket, something few real killers are likely to do. Even as unlikely as hiding her in a dark part of the house that few people knew existed.....

I would suggest that anyone truly interested in the case go to Websleuths.com;

Websleuths is full of absolute dodos! There are numerous well-researched books and several reputable documentaries about the case, but pretty well all of them have an angle. It was interesting to see one with the intruder did it slant.

They had just been at a party with lots of other people. Of course there was likely other persons DNA on her. Playing, hugging, holding hands, etc.

He was 9, as they repeated multiple times in this recent documentary. But he was about to turn ten in one month's time.

Here's an interesting read: (long) https://www.westword.com/news/jonbenet-ramsey-how-the-investigation-got-derailed-and-why-it-still-matters-6053856?showFullText=true

Interesting that their close friend observed that Patsy conciously changed her handwriting after the murder of JonBenet.

People like Lou Smit, who unlike Steve Thomas had a long history of working on and solving homicide cases. And people like John E Douglas, who worked for the FBI for 25 years, who inspired the tv show Mindhunter, and who effectively invented criminal profiling.

Lou Smit who became very close, personal friends with the Ramseys? Lou Smit who spoke about how emotional it was to share prayers with the Ramseys?

That Lou Smit?

You really are reaching now. The DNA from a male unrelated to the family was found in her underwear and fingernails which doesn’t suggest ‘hugging, playing, holding hands etc’.

Doesn't erase his successful history investigating and solving homicides.

It proves his opinion is compromised and he acted unprofessionally in this case.

It is interesting you single this out as the seemingly lone unprofessional police act in this case!

No, not necessarily. I just think the evidence he was convicted on was very very weak. If he did it, the police didn't prove how he did beyond any reasonable doubt.
