Bringing this older post forward here, as I think the last sentence is such a salient point. Aside from the handwriting, the cultural references and other things that point to Patsy, the anger at John is such a give-away. This is the kind of personal relationship of a wife to husband, not some "small foreign faction" or group or anyone else.For me, the fact that the Ramseys stalled behind lawyers for four months before talking to LE was highly suspect from the beginning. Legally, they weren’t obligated to speak to LE, but IMO they were, morally and ethically. Their child has been killed. Why wouldn’t they want to do everything in their power to help with the investigation. Unless, of course, they’re guilty. I always felt it was Patsy who killed JB accidentally in anger. And I think the ransom note reflected anger at John.

Thanks for posting this. As you probably realise, I think the autopsy report needs re-consideration. Two issues stand out to me.Someone requested a link to the original autopsy report. I prefer this one because it is in the form of photos of the original rather than an unknown retyped version. This link has been provided and used at WS years ago so is hopefully still approved.

Do you think the garotte was actually a restraining device, used to sexually violate her which caused her to scream, then came the blow to quiet her. This is how I imagine the sequence. Do you think the garotte was entirely used for staging? If it was only the blow to the head, I think it would have been sold as an accident.Thanks for posting this.

The first is that JBR had been in a prone position before being turned over onto her back (supine) many hours after her death and before she was 'discovered'. Do you know whether this has ever been discussed before? This is unlikely to be in the report but may already be known by law enforcement. Once you realise this, it explains many of the aberrant findings in the report. It also makes a stranger abduction/murder highly unlikely.
The second is that there is an alternative explanation for the Autopsy findings, based on updated scientific knowledge. There has been a lot more published research on post mortem petechial haemorrhage. This information would not of been available at the time of the original JBR Autopsy. I don't think she was garrotted to death btw. I think the 'strangulation' occurred many hours after her death based on this autopsy report.
I think the Coroner released her body too soon. The case would have benefited from a re examination and further collection of samples. JBR was moved from Colorado to Georgia for burial creating a jurisdictional impediment for further forensic examination.
I am currently writing a report/letter to the Boulder Police setting out my reasons for this belief. In the same letter/ report I will also present my credentials and expertise. Once I have confirmation the letter has been received, I will post this document on this site pending any further action by Law Enforcement in this area. If I am asked not to circulate, I will not.
What I think is that JBR died after suffering a catastrophic head injury from a blunt instrument. She would have been knocked out instantly given the severity of that head injury. She was face down in a prone position. She died quite quickly.Do you think the garotte was actually a restraining device, used to sexually violate her which caused her to scream, then came the blow to quiet her.

What if an attempt to restrain her was made. She realizes what the perpetrators intentions are and screams. Then the blow to the head. The restraints are on but not tight. If she falls foward and is prone, would there be pooling of blood around the ligature around her neck even if it wasn't tight enough to asphyxiate her? Was there damage to the tissues of the neck or just pooling of blood?What I think is that JBR died after suffering a catastrophic head injury from a blunt instrument.

She was then moved 3-4 hours after she died, which is when I think the garrotte and ligatures were applied. She was placed on her back at this stage.
The sexual assault theory is by no means clear cut. I am not convinced there was any sexual assault the night she died.
That's all I will say at this stage.
Thank you for clarification on impact the garrotre had on the neck .No I don't think so. The garrotte was way too deep around her neck, it would have killed her within minutes if she was alive when applied. It would have also caused other findings that are simply not present in the autopsy. The findings have been misinterpreted because it has not been recognised that she had been turned over is my best guess. I cover this in the letter I have written but I don't want to share it at this stage. The Boulder police need to reply first.
I am unsure who LHP is. As I have said , I am not convinced of any sexual assault on the night she died.
You are welcome, I think as you do that her parents did not murder her.Thank you for clarification on impact the garrotre had on the neck .
Linda Hoffman Paugh .She was the housekeepers who witnessed the children playing doctor. I believe this is not disputed.
I look foward to reading the rest of what you present.You are welcome, I think as you do that her parents did not murder her.
