Hi, SunnieRN,
bbm
I would disagree. To me, it says that the Ramseys were lying. They knew who wrote the novelette and why.
They stated on numerous occasions that JonBenet was asleep when they arrived home. Hmmm, but now people are talking about the fact that Jon Benet had a different hairstyle than at the party, we know she had pineapple in her digestive tract, that matched the pineapple on the table and her brother Burke says she walked into the house helping to carry in Christmas presents.
The Ramseys had the opportunity to have easily written the ransom novelette and I truly believe they did.
As far as a 'build-up to jealous hate', there was also someone in the family, in the house that night, that if he was a normal American child, would have had several reasons to perhaps be jealous of his baby sister, what was he capable of?
Let us not forget that the Rs visited a few friend's homes on the way home from the party, to deliver Christmas presents.
That point also is significant regarding the statement you attribute to BR ... JBR did indeed help deliver presents .. to the Rs friends they visited on the trip homeward.
The Rs skipped going to the Fernie's house because by that time JBR had fallen asleep in the vehicle so they decided to head directly home from their last visit since JBR was not awake to visit along with the rest of the family.
JBR or PR or a friend had opportunities during the visit sequence / trip homeward to reset JBR's hair .. if JBR's hair was not changed by an intruder.
Of course the Rs had "opportunity" to concoct an RN, but where is the evidence indicating they had to do so?
As for "normal", yes, siblings sometimes do react with jealousy but "normal" does not include for to the point of murder.
How many "normal", "jealous" 9-year olds act out on a sibling with procedures typically associated to adult
ritualistic murderers .. craft and apply a garrotte-style erotic asphyxiation device, incorporate bondage, possible burning or stun-gun use, abusive manipulation of sex organs, etc.?
Or, do you mean to indicate BR accidently or intentionally murdered JBR with a blow to the head and the Rs attempted to cover it up by staging a crime scene?
I do not believe the Rs would nor could immediately decide to deface and degrade the lifeless body of their young daughter whom was just accidently or intentionally murdered by their young son.
