This discussion is so interesting! I tend to think that the staging was not disorganized, that it was actually a little 'overplanned.' The reason it seems disorganized to us is that IMO the crime scene was staged three different times, and each time the scene was 'restaged' some elements of...

Praying for Tricia and her family.

BlueCrab, thanks for finding my theory interesting! Just want to clarify something: I don't think I refer to the vaginal wound as having been inflicted by the paintbrush; I just call it the 'sexual wound' and refer to its having been 'inflicted,' that is, it's obviously not something that...

Nehemiah, that's an interesting comment. Of course, ST could have thought that PR was guilty, but if he still thinks so I wonder what he might know that hasn't been released publicly. OTOH, if I were in LE, and I thought one of these two did it and the other helped cover it up, I'd try to...

So what happened? This is all just my opinion, and pure speculation of course. I think that, in the days leading up to the murder of JBR, JBR herself was making someone very, very uneasy. If someone, and for the moment I think JR is the most likely person so we'll go with that for now, if JR...

Sure. I've posted it before. I've never been IDI except when my whole familiarity with this case was what I heard on the news. Once I started looking into the case, and particularly when I read that bizarre ransome note, I became an RDI. Initially, I thought that while either of the adult...

I appreciate your efforts, BlueCrab. As I said somewhere way above, I respect all posters and their theories, which show lots of effort and creative thinking. All due respect, then, but I don't find your theory particularly plausible without some corroborating evidence that a) BR was extremely...

Again, BlueCrab, I'd like to address your points one at a time. 1. Do you have children? I'm not looking for personal info about you; it's a rhetorical question. I can't imagine anyone with kids asserting that they're 'good at faking sleep.' Maybe 12, 13, 14-year olds, but before that...

BlueCrab, I'd like to take your points one at a time, if I may. 1. I agree that there was no intruder. But why would an exhausted six-year-old willingly accompany her nine-year-old brother down to the kitchen for a pineapple snack in the middle of the night? The children would have had to...

BlueCrab, Hi! It's just 'Dru;' I'm not a Dr. of anything. :) But an objection, sir. You say, "just about everything...actually occurred..." but it's the 'just about' that I'm quibbling about, so to speak. The murder happened. The staging happened. The RN happened. The children waiting...

UKGuy, I think one of the most frustrating things in discussing this case are the sheer number of things we don't know. That said, by 'forensic evidence' on the turtleneck I guess I was thinking that if JBR had worn it at the time of her death, and it had then had to be removed from her dead or...

I tend to think the red turtleneck is a red herring. If it had been used to manually strangle JBR, the collar would have been twisted out of shape, and there might have been other forensic evidence recoverable on it as well. It seems like the turtleneck's importance hinges on the fact that PR...

...you could have a situation where JR does it, creates a first 'staged' crime scene designed to do just one thing, which is convince PR that BR did it, and then count on PR's desire to protect her son to obtain her cooperation in assisting with the staging, writing the RN, and generally going...

UKGuy, what do you think of this? It's from a 1997 CNN article about the Ramsey case: "Police also confirmed that they sought the insight of former Miss America, Marilyn Van Derbur Atler. Atler admitted publicly in 1991 that she had been sexually abused by her father, and has since become an...

No, coloradokares, I haven't. Is there a link to it? Thanks. And JMO8778, I think PR really did try to put the blame on LHP. Question is, why weren't she and JR on the same page on that? Why did JR a) bring up the disgruntled employee and then b) much later, the 'mysterious van' he'd seen...

This is a good point, JMO8778, but I think the main reason he'd tell her to 'throw on some clothes' is that a basement room in Colorado in the middle of the night in the dead of winter is going to be pretty darned cold. A mere nightgown, even a flannel one, even with a robe and slippers, is...

Laini, you ask some very good questions, IMO. Rather than answer them specifically, I'd like to give you my theory of what happened. I think my theory may fit some of your questions. IMO, this crime was committed by someone abusing JBR, who did not want that abuse to be discovered. And in...

Solace, this is one of the many little things that to me points to JR more than PR, even though JR may have instructed PR on what to put in the ransom note and she may have written it. JR, at first, kept trying to pin the blame on a disgruntled former employee. Someone who might at some point...

This is pretty much what changed me from PDI to JRDI. Not that mothers can't, and don't kill. Not that they can't be just as brutal or violent as fathers. But because the only theories that really make sense in the PDI focus are the 'accident' theories; it was rage, she didn't mean to do it...

JMO8778, I definitely agree that both participated in the cover up. In fact, I think JR staged the initial crime scene to fool PR, and then they staged the second scene together.
