Thank you so much for your response. I apologize for coming on and being so lazy not to look this all up myself but I know from experience that the people on the thread are usually knee deep in the details and it's often just easier to ask. Thank you again.
Anyone on here that has 'known' me for a time knows how big I am on watching body language and facial expressions. Again all I can say is when BR answers why he didn't draw JBR in that family picture it sent an absolute chill down my spine. This is not the reaction I would be looking for then or now from someone who's little sister was just found murdered in their own home.
I see children of my own friends and those kids are writing letters and drawing pictures of sunshine and happy times written to grandparents who have passed, I just can't quite grasp the affect this young man has. It's scary to me for sure.
It's so interesting to me that so many people label Burke as socially awkward or on the autism spectrum but nobody seems to wonder if he is a devious sociopath or psychopath.
Not all psychopaths go on to become serial killers.
Something is seriously wrong with Burke if he DID commit this murder and something is seriously wrong with him even if he didn't! IMHO either his mother or father or both are responsible for the murder or he is- there was no intruder.
Either way- something is not right with Burke and I mean NOT RIGHT.
I am not a huge fan of Dr Phil anymore- he's gone Hollywood... corporate, whatever... however you want to look at it but one thing I'll give him is he is no dummy- nor is he easily fooled. Oprah saw something in him that I still see- he is smart as a whip- natural smart, street smart, intuitive and he can read people... see through people and he is nobody's fool.
I'm so surprised at all the poo-pooing of the show... nothing to see here folks, same old same old, rehashing of old lies and BS. Wait. What?
Seriously, this one interview alone is manna from heaven as far as I'm concerned- that almost 30 year old MAN wouldn't even talk with the Boulder PD!
This is no longer about sheltering him from the media circus- 20 fricking years later- GMAB- because no family I know who are victims of an unsolved crime of their loved one would turn any chance at publicity away- especially this many years out. Victim families are usually DESPERATE for the attention NOT TO GO AWAY- they hope for the media never to forget them... They are typically desperate for updates whenever and wherever they can get them from the police who are still (hopefully) investigating their loved ones murder or disappearance. That is, at least, the ones who had no hand in the crime. This is not normal- the Ramsey's are not normal- Burke is not displaying one iota of normal behavior towards the loss of a baby sister- THEY ARE NOT VICTIMS. I do believe James Kohler. I believe the only true victim in that house is dead and maybe I should be thanking my lucky stars that she was taken out of that hell hole sooner rather than later. I believe wholeheartedly that JR was molesting his little girl and I believe his son was following in his deviant footsteps.
So, IMOO- Dr Phil is NO fool- so what if he gets ratings and makes money for his network he GOT the interview with Burke and John (the more John talks the more the blatant lies get told for us (or others) to see and put together). He HAS Burkes interview tapes with the investigative psychologist and WE get to see BURKE watch them too and then answer any of Dr Phil's questions on top of it! Boulder PD gets to see this too and I can only imagine what DP thinks- he makes it pretty evident (IMO)!
Like most of us here who have no problem believing any parent or child could be capable of doing the very things that went on in the house that night and from what I know of DP (I do have some insights) he knows damn well that the Ramsey's story of all that occurred leading up to, during and after the murder is complete and utter BS. You can't BS a BS'er and he's seen it all- that man may be a lot of things to all of us but one thing is certain for me- he does not suffer fools lightly- he sees right through this dog and pony show and he's doing his damndest to unmask it while staying neutral enough to not get himself or the network sued!
He has a legal mind and the network has a legal person going over each show with a fine tooth comb before it is ever signed off on to go to air. He's covered- while doing the public at large a service that might never have occurred had there NOT been money involved. I choose to see it as the gift that it is.
I'll tell you something else too- what I know of Robin is she's a smart cookie too- the yin to his yang and she has a mind of her own- she knows just as well as I do that Patsy's stories are full of more holes then Swiss cheese. She's a fierce and loyal mother and grandmother but on the right side of the law- like her husband. She was probably more instrumental in him doing this show then anybody. She gets it- I'm telling you.
I have so many things written down about the Day 1 interview but this post has gone on long enough. I'll post my thoughts and observations on the show later. Thanks to eveveryone who has posted- I've been obsessed with reading here and so impressed with all of the insights- even the ones I disagree with.
Justice for Jonbenet- it's all any of us here want really.
