I hear what you're saying and so much of what seems to have happened makes no sense, which gives ammunition to the IDI folks, but like I said in an earlier post, we look at this murder in the light of day, with clear heads and the ability to go over it in detail and determine what would be the...

But why write the ransom note if you intend the body to be found in the house? Why is it even necessary? This case ALWAYS comes back to that ransom note-- Why not just call the police, say your daughter is missing, and let the police come over and find the body? Why write the ransom note...

Not sure if you are familiar with all the facts of the case, but you do realize that the police did not find the body in the house, don't you? Ramsey himself discovered the body in the early afternoon, after the police had already been in the basement, Fleet White had been in the basement, and...

I think it's Steve Thomas's influence on how the evidence is interpreted. It is, after all, his theory that it was "toilet rage" or whatever you want to call it that led to Jonbenet's murder. I asked a question on another thread about why so many people believe John is not guilty of the...

No, I disagree. It was too risky to move the body. Remember, neighbors noticed what lights were on in the house that night when questioned by police. You'd be surprised at how much neighbors pay attention, and certainly a garage door opening at 4am or 5am the day after Christmas may not cause...

I don't know if the phone records disappeared--I may have missed that piece of information. What I have read before is that the Ramseys would not release the phone records to police, and the Boulder DA would not authorize a subpoena for the records. Phone records, as you may recall from the...

Let's not forget also that the very people they called over to the house that morning are people that they soon began accusing of the crime. If your child is kidnapped, do you call over people you believe could be capable of the crime? I usually try to avoid all the "The Ramseys are guilty...

Sorry--I'm not even sure what you're referring to in the post (I haven't read the entire thread), but I just wanted to point out that baby girls are born with all the eggs they will ever have. At puberty, ovulation begins, but the eggs have been there all the time. Karen

I dunno--hate to defend the Ramseys, but I have a five year old daughter, and I don't think if I found a ransom note saying she'd been kidnapped, I wouldn't search the house for her. I mean, if she were just MISSING, then yes, of course I would search for her, but if she's not in her bed and...

I think there's probably a large group of people (including myself) here that believe, they did not plan for the body to be found in the house originally. Rather, the Ramseys planned to fly away shortly after no ransom demand was made, and the body would be found somewhere outside the home some...

Great post. And it does explain the point of entry mystery. Karen

Ouch! That's going to leave a mark. I agree with you that a lot of the reluctance to accept the Ramseys as the culprits stems from an unwillingness to believe that this kind of crime could occur among the white and the wealthy. For what it's worth, I believe the death was actually an...

I think that if there was just a single issue occurring by itself (say, just the vaginitis, or just the torn hymen, or just the abnormally large vaginal opening) that one wouldn't automatically assume sexual abuse, but the fact that they all occur together in one child makes it hard to explain...

If there were evidence of an intruder, I could almost believe that the Ramseys were innocent of the murder but guilty of the sexual abuse, and decided to create all the deceptions not to hide the murder, but to cover up the sexual abuse. In this scenario, Patsy discovers John is abusing...

I thought the practice note was found (was it ever revealed what was written on the practice note? I thought this was the possible 'unknown evidence' that might link Karr to the crime). Weren't there also pages missing from the pad, between the practice note and the ransom note that were never...

Yes, if the United States has an extradition treaty with Thailand. Not sure if they do or not, but I assume they do. There's all sorts of exceptions to the treaties, of course (there are usually requirements that have to be met: seriousness of crime, the act committed is a crime in both...

Short of a confession from someone who actually had the opportunity to commit the crime, this case won't be solved. Without a confession, there has been too much doubt raised about every piece of evidence (and the Boulder authorities handling of it) to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt...

There's all sorts of ways to destroy paper so that it won't be found. I know this is one of Smits points--why weren't the other practice pages found? Aha! The intruder must have taken them away with him! What would you do with a paper that you didn't want found? Think about it for a...

I don't think they thought it would ruin their lives. I don't think they thought they would be suspects, or that their lives would be scrutinized. They were wealthy and certainly John Ramsey, at least, was not used to having his word questioned. I think they thought they would fly off to...

Agreed--my husband and I were talking about this at dinner, and how we fight every year about where to spend Christmas, with his family or mine. There's no way I would spend Christmas with my in laws without my husband--it makes no sense. If he weren't there, I would be with my family. Karen
