At the risk of crashing the salon, I want to ask about something else I've never seen an answer for. In one of the interviews (suspects are taken in for questioning; the Rams have interviews), JR describes finding JBR, seeing the cords digging into her wrists, working frantically to untie the tight knots.....
So, first....What was he smoking? The cords weren't digging into JBR's wrists; the knots weren't tight; he didn't try to undo them. In his shock and fatigue, did JR wander off into a script for a discarded scenario? Was he delusional, reinventing the discovery scene with himself as the tragic hero? Getting in touch with his inner Harrison Ford? Flat out lying?
And second, was he questioned about his bizarre statements? Did anyone happen to mention that they had no basis in reality? Was JR held to account for them in any way?
I'd love to learn more about this and hear your thoughts on it.
Boy does this open up a :worms:for me! IMO, the most glaring problem with messing up the investigation of JBR's murder was the fact that both parents were not asked to go to the police station immediately, then separated and questioned. :facepalm: By homicide detectives imported from Denver, if necessary, since we know that several of the Boulder LE officers were tied up in a meeting that day with AH, and perhaps others were not available due to holiday leave.
By the time JR sat down in interviews, he had gathered a vicious team of legal watchdogs and had them at his elbow. So had Patsy. Any time there was an attempt to really dig into anything specific, as soon as the question was fielded, if one of the R's didn't respond with some indignant retort, one of the watchdogs ran interference and shut things down. Without an arrest, LE had to tread very carefully in posing anything that the attorneys could have used later to get the charges dropped or thrown out of court by claiming the cops were badgering or coercing their clients, or considering them "guilty" before being proven innocent.
If you want to see how clever JR is at making himself the picture of perfection in everything related to the time between the Ramseys leaving the White's house on Dec. 25 until they laid JB to rest....(and even after that), grit your teeth and read his book, "The Other Side of Suffering". If you get through it to the end when he relates his humble (gag, choke) experience as a missionary at the child prostitution teaching compound in India, AND you keep in mind that there was no evidence whatsoever of an Intruder killing JBR, I have to believe you will have read several clues straight from him about his true state of mind regarding his "beautiful girls". His quote.
The best gathering of interviews with the R's, IMO, is in "Jon Benet, the Police Files". Very affordable as a used book on Amazon, and a good way to see how many times the R's dodged questions by probably all the techniques you mentioned above (BBM) carefully assisted by their legal team.
If ever the Boulder Police department should try to get JR in for questioning again, it is now.....since we know about the GJ, he's written a book "leaking" tells about himself

and the anniversary of JB's death is upon us once again.
From my heart, I offer this prayer today: Lord, in your grace this season of peace, I pray you guide someone to begin a path of true discovery for the justice deserved by your sweet, beautiful creation - JonBenet Ramsey. Amen.
