JR would have had to know she was dead. She was in rigor and ice cold. So why the innocent act and looking to LA to confirm she was dead after he brought her up from the basement? Just more Ramsey BS I guess.
Exactly! John asking Linda Arndt about his daughters condition is absolutely ludicrous, when you take into account that White and Arndt both knew she was dead. Arndt even stated it was obvious Jonbenet had been dead...for a while. John held his own daughter from the cellar, up the stairs and to outside the kitchen hallway with her only inches away from him before he put her down. John questions the detective if Jonbenet is dead, when only seconds before, he remarked on his way up the stairs "I don't think he meant to kill her, because she was wrapped in a blanket." What happened between walking up the stairs to laying her on the floor that made John suddenly undecided about her state?
I remember seeing where JR blathered in one of his interviews that he gave her CPR. Of course, he was lying- just as he was when he said her hands were "tightly bound" and he untied them.
The coroner swabbed JB's mouth. His saliva would have been detected. Also, the smear of mucus/vomit on her cheek extending from her mouth would have been disturbed. It was not. AND- rigor had frozen her head cocked to the right. To perform CPR, he'd have had to twist her head to the front, which he wouldn't have been able to do without breaking rigor, which as I have explained- will NOT reform. So it would have been very obvious if rigor was broken in her neck.
I know that I'm new here, and do not possess the extent of facts regarding, not just the case in general, but much of the knowledge related to whether or not John performed CPR on finding Jonbenet. I've seen it brought up on this site just a few times, though I don't understand what the questions are for.
Since Jonbenet had her mouth tested for DNA and there was nothing found, wouldn't this just go to show John did not perform any CPR on her whatsoever? DeeDee gives a very strong argument in her post about this.
BBM This is something I've only heard about recently. I don't remember this in ST or JK's books. I'm presuming he claims to have done this in the WC after FW ran upstairs yelling for someone to call 911? I don't think FW ever confirmed this did he?
While it seems to have mostly been determined there was no CPR given by John, as stated above due to evidence and also witness Fleet White. Another point I'd just like to make, let's not kid ourselves here, Mr. Ramsey wasn't the dumbest guy and he knew Jonbenet was dead. In the state she was described, I think it would be difficult for anyone to put their lips on a body with blue lips from being dead for 12 hours, covered with dried caked on snot or vomit, in a state of rigor mortis and smell of decay, if it weren't absolutely necessary...even if (God bless her) she was your daughter.
How are we to believe John would have attempted or even performed CPR?
Only seconds after she was found, Fleet ran up the stairs, John was supposedly trying to untie Jonbenet's wrists, only he followed Fleet up the stairs almost immediately. Arndt hurried over after hearing Fleet call for an ambulance, and by the time she got there, John was already almost up the stairs. Besides, there would be no point in CPR for Jonbenet, as rigor mortis had already set in. And also, no point for John to do CPR either. Why would John go to the trouble? Fleet had hurried up the stairs and John was in the basement alone with his dead daughter...he had no audience.
