Let's not forget that the option of Felony Murder still exists as a minimal charge to be filed against a suspect in the JBR case.
I have clung to the hope that someone could put together 'reasonable cause' to indict and further investigate JR as a chargeable suspect in JB's death, and eventually put him in a courtroom based on charges of Felony Murder.
IMO, there is enough circumstantial evidence to warrant the filing of charges, and it IS possible to prosecute these cases....even bringing some of them to a guilty verdict.
Here are some of the case items that support my opinion:
JR's shirt fibers in the crotch of the Bloomies.
BR's statement to police indicating JB was awake and walked into the house, contesting the Ramsey story of her being laid down by John to be put to bed by PR.
JR's group of distortions about breaking the window, the position of the chair in the basement, taking of the suitcase to the basement, different descriptions of the toy he was working on with Burke before bed.
The report that he managed to move from the shower to the kitchen area in his underwear to read a ransom note on his knees, check on BR being in bed, then get fully dressed and presented to a police officer in the span of 8 minutes.
That he reportedly was 'joking and smiling' with people in their house the morning of the kidnapping.
That Arndt stated he greeted her cordially.
That Arndt handled her weapon after close confrontation with him and counted her bullets.
That JR disappeared and did not provide full accountability for his whereabouts at a time they were still waiting for a call from the 'kidnappers'.
That FW reported not seeing anything visible to him previously in the WC, yet JR blurted out JB's existence there AS the light switch was being flipped on.
That JR tried to schedule a flight from Boulder just after JB was brought up claiming he had 'business' to tend to in Atlanta, even though there were other plans under way to join the older kids for a trip to MI.
That JR called in Dr. Beuf later on for assistance and Patsy was medicated by Beuf, allowing for a couple of witness recounts as to Patsy's impaired physical state from that time forward for a period of time which appeared to include the time of the CNN interview.
That JR immediately brought in lawyers.....before making any solid attempts to facilitate police investigation of the R family in obtaining information that might help them determine who killed their daughter.
That the BPD initally suspected JR as the perpetrator of the crime.
That JR's military service in Subic Bay could have easily familiarized him with the fact that a garrote is a common means of criminal activity in the Phillipines and that Subic Bay is one of the world's leading hubs of child *advertiser censored* and sexual exploitation.
That Lockheed Martin should have been one of the first entities contacted by him for assistance in dealing with a SFF who made mention of his business and country in a ransom note for his daughter, with LM having the ability to provide extreme security for a man in his position with his company.
That JR quickly hired his own handwriting analysts, who excluded him first from writing the note.
That he immediately handed over THE notepad the ransom note was written on, clearly stating it was Patsy's.....though there were several other similar notepads kept handy in the house.
That he participated in writing and having published not one, but a second book about the Ramsey family's experiences related to JB's death. And the second book was written clearly to limelight his own experiences of victimization, recovery, and the disturbing account of his Christian recovery work chosen BY HIM which took him into the world of young female sexual exploitation.
I could list several more reasons why I suspect JR could be charged with Felony Murder. Bottom line for me is: he was there the night she was killed and I cannot believe even it if WAS Patsy or Burke who dealt the actions that took her life, that he was sound asleep through it all and totally uninvolved until the morning of the 911 call. I say, let him tell his story in court and see if a jury believes him.
