Hi I am new to the forums. I haven't followed the JonBenet case because it depressed me. A couple of weeks ago I watched the movie "Perfect Murder, Perfect Town" and then read a lot about it and I have formed my own theory.
I pretty much agree with Steve Thomas' theory about what happened.
I think that someone living inside the house killed JonBenet in a moment of rage. I think it involved the stress of the holidays, and JonBenet's bedwetting. I do not think that John Ramsey killed her or was abusing her. I think that the killer is now also dead, Patsy Ramsey. She was about to turn 40, that can be a scary age for an ex-beauty queen. She seemed to be a perfectionist, and was punishing JonBenet and only exacerbated the problem. It must be difficult to have a child who is in the public light, and who is not potty trained at six. No matter how perfect a family the Ramsey's seemed, there are always things that even best friends and relatives don't know about the internal family dynamics. About how they are dysfunctional.
First of all, I try to pay attention to only the initial reports and not a lot of speculation that came after the fact that muddies perspectives. I think it is clear that the family tried to cover up the murder. The staging seems apparent to me. Loose cord on wrists. The attempt to sully the murder scene by moving her, covering her, inviting many people in to contaminate the site as much as possible. The avoidance to be interviewed. Keeping evidence away, in some cases, forever. Money talks, pure and simple. You and I would have been in jail. End of game.
The biggest question that I find is this...
Why would a kidnapper who fumbles a kidnapping attempt by murdering the child, leave the ransom note, when the mere act of taking it with them shifts the blame onto the family and away from a kidnapping attempt? It would be silly to leave the note. The Ramseys wanted to divert attention away from themselves and the note did that for them. Pretty simple. They NEEDED that note to clear themselves.
The only other alternatives for me would be that the son killed her and then hid her until later, but was found out by the parents who in a panic covered him with an elaborate staging. But I think the evidence points to Patsy.
I read in a couple of articles that Patsy allegedly gave her attorney a letter to be read after her death that JonBenet committed suicide because she felt too fat for her new designer dress. If that is true, Patsy was a scary deluded person even to the end.
