I think that even if we knew what happened thered still be a thousand whys. There are too many things that dont make sense in any scenario.
Ive spent some years trying to convince myself that the Ramseys arent guilty because I dont want them to be. Its easier to believe that an intruder/stranger abused JonBenets body before, during, after. As it is, Ive never been able to convince myself of that.
Here are a few things that wont allow me to think they didnt do it:
The lies this is not anything new to anyone here, so there has never been a reason to mention it for the millionth time. Lying is hiding always.
But, now Im going to mention a couple of things that are so small that theyll likely sound silly to others, and Im sorry, theyre some of the things I cant move passed, and are things I was going to mention in Daves Insane Thread, eventually, but changed my mind.
Their book The Death of Innocence. This book was so boring, so poorly written and poorly edited that I couldnt finish it. Ive tried to force myself to read on more than once, but the arrogance and pride outweigh any sorrow. I've read enough.
Much of the time I would think John was speaking it was Patsy, and vice-versa.
Too much ink was wasted with them trying to convince readers of how successful and smart they were and how it came to be. Most of it was irrelevant to the subject, to JonBenet. I would summarize what I read as John and Patsy patting their own successful, egotistical backs. Remember I did not finish reading this book.
Anyway, so many opportunities were wasted by their arrogance. Arrogance should not outweigh sadness.
They took advantage of a horrific situation to congratulate themselves of course, this doesnt make them guilty.
Coat and shoes Unless Ive missed any comments about this Ive never heard it mentioned, and Ive looked around. This bugs me almost more than anything. Yes, its a little crazy, but it keeps me from believing in that intruder.
It was cold, it had been snowing.
If I were Patsy and thought my kid had been taken from the home Id be nuts wondering if she had a coat and shoes on. Nuts wondering if she was cold. Id tell the police if her coat and shoes were missing or not. And, if not, I wouldnt be able to focus on much more than her not having her coat and shoes. Yet, Ive never heard whether Patsy mentioned anything about these things. Her not wondering tells me she knew she didnt need them.
Does this prove theyre guilty? No. But, I think about it every time I try to think of an intruder theory. And, besides the obvious, thats what eats me alive (thread title) about this case.
:goodpost:
What a great point about the shoes & coat! I've never thought about that before but you are absolutely right!! What mother wouldn't have been obsessed with worrying about her being cold? Well, apparently Patsy. If she had ever mentioned that, LA would have said something about it. She was PR's biggest fan and I have no doubt she would have been sure to talk about it if PR had ever said anything of the sort.
Yes, DOI was nauseating wasn't it? I couldn't finish it either. I also refused to give them :twocents: for it so I checked it out of the library! :floorlaugh: One of these days I'll try to finish it. I understand TOSOS is just full of revealing info on JR too. Again, some day....
