Oddly, Patsy and John were supposed to leave for Michigan on a flight leaving 6:15. They got up at @ 5 am - not sure how that was supposed to work out. None of the video or crime scene photos show that there were suitcases at the ready (especially for the kids). The one suitcase in the basement was not readied for travel.
How were they supposed to make that flight?
Then, yes, John calls his private pilot and changes destinations from Michigan to Atlanta, but then Fleet (sensing what a bad move that would be?) calls and cancels that order.
Jon Benet is found at around 1 pm. The Ramseys depart the house in separate vehicles about 2:30 pm when the police and detectives are still arriving. John Ramsey signs a consent for a visual search of the house, but does not accompany the police on that search. It's not a search warrant and despite the crime scene and the appeal to the FBI (because of the note), no search warrants were obtained. Patsy's sister stops by (the next day?) and removes many things from the house, unfettered.
Much has changed since those days. There was no Websleuths then, and MSM didn't know where to begin. Many changes to SOP in LE since then, at least in very public cases. There's no way that an ordinary family in most of Colorado would have gotten the same treatment. Nor would Alex Hunter's refusal to accept the Grand Jury's indictments be so easily accepted as an ending point for the investigation.
