I agree.
I don't pretend to know who killed JBR and why.
I only know from the evidence presented to me (or available)it was not a R.
I really don't think FW did it but I find him a very suspicious character. I do think its more likely FWDI then RDI.
Zman, every time I mention that I think FW acted suspiciously people seem to immediately think I mean that I think he is either the or one of the killers of JonBenet. Sorry Zman I don't mean to imply that you are one of them, I'm just taking this opportunity to have a go at those who do think this.
I DO NOT think that FW was present at, or involved in the murder of JonBenet and have never thought so. I DO think he was involved in the coverup, in fact I think he was the mastermind of the coverup. I think as a fellow pedophile it was in his interest to cover up for other pedophiles in the Boulder community who were involved in her murder.
I think that was why, after giving instructions by phone at around 3 am to the killers to hide JonBenet's body and write a ransom note to make it look like a kidnapping, he raced around to the Ramsey's as soon as he received the phone call from Patsy. No-one seems to think it strange that he, together with his wife as well as one of his house guests arrived within minutes of the early morning call. They all arrived so soon after they must have been fully dressed and waiting for the call.
Then almost immediately after he arrived he went straight downstairs to the basement, not a priority thing to do as a concerned man rushing over to console his best friend and his wife I would have thought. Rather it seems to me that he was very anxious to check that all was in order in the basement, that all the evidence had been cleared away and that the body was well hidden.
Back upstairs, he indulged in all the frantic note taking, very likely keeping a record of everything people said and did so that he could weave it all into a plausible story. I think he was very worried because the police were not supposed to be there, I think he had tried to stop the Ramseys from calling the police with the threats included in the note, but Patsy hadn't done as she was instructed so right from the beginning his coverup plan didn't go too well making him very nervous.
Another bit of behaviour that first day that I think was suspicious, was just after John found the body, FW came racing upstairs apparently in a panic and went straight to the phone and dialled a number. He then changed his mind, hung up and yelled for someone ELSE to call an ambulance. So what number did he call? Not the ambulance number it seems. Was it his special connection in the BPD that he wanted to alert to the new development? Whoever it was it seems he suddenly became aware that everyone would overhear the conversation and realised that it would be a mistake to make the call.
That is all according to my theory
