These are all good questions.I believe there are some key points that should be touched on in this case. I often look at the estate sales in my area and there more times then not: golf clubs. This may seem beside the point but hear me out. In looking at the clubs it seems to me that is exactly what JB was struck with. The size and angle fits like a piece to a puzzle. JR requested PP retrieve a bag of golf clubs from the basement. Why would a father be concerned about going golfing when his daughter had just been murdered? I for one would not be concerned about Extracurricular activities.
Also, why did DP take a standby flight on the 24th? He had plenty of time to book his flight before hand. DP is where the “fat cats” club came from. He and Nedra babysat both kids. DP built the good ship lollipop float that JB rode on. He was also in attendance for the R’s Christmas party on the 23rd which the first 911 call was placed. I predict PR was sexually abused. According to NP all children are “a little abused”.
How did BR know exactly what happened to JB? The knife, the strangulation, the hit on the head to days after the murder. Long before the autopsy results were in?
ST asks:
How was the investigation botched from the beginning-and why did police so carelessly allow the crime scene to be tampered with?
Why were John and Patsy Ramsey protected from early questioning and any lie-detector tests, even though their stories and behavior were erratic, suspicious and inconsistent?
Why was crucial evidence ignored, why were certain key witnesses unquestioned by detectives, and why were the Ramseys privy to sensitive information about the case and even police reports?
I ask:
What happened to the phone records of the R’s? Why did the R’s have to change their stories so many times if they were innocent?
I do think the golf clubs are a part of what happened, and it is very likely that a golf club was used to inflict the head blow. The fact that JR asked PP to retrieve a bag of clubs from the basement is certainly suspicious. I have long wondered if there was a piece or pieces of evidence that were hidden in that bag.
Agree that is is odd that DP flew standby on the 24th. But then again in those days, air travel was much different than it is now. It was much easier then. Could be an innocent explanation, but this is yet another detail that was not well investigated.
I think two things impacted the investigation from the very beginning. The inexperience of LE, as well as LE thinking they were investigating a kidnapping. As such, they only roped off JBR's bedroom to preserve any potential evidence and searched the house looking for entry and exit points. Hence the explanation of why Officer French did not try to open the wine cellar door. Once it became a murder investigation, the crime scene was already severely compromised. Worth noting that the ransom note served its purpose well in that regard.
The speed and manner in which the R's lawyered up is key to everything that happened from then on. The disappearance of the phone records leads me to believe that JR was on the phone in the wee hours of the morning getting advice and circling the wagons, and that's when covering up in addition to the cover up that was in play inside the house began. Methods of protection for the R's and to hide the truth were put in motion well before that 911 call. Given the relationships between the lawyers and the DA's office and some powerful people in Colorado politics, I think a fix was in immediately, and LE's hands were tied to a certain extent. We also now know that Team R's private investigators got to several witnesses before LE did.
