That's been well-debunked. Patsy's fibers weren't on JonBenet's body where fibers would be from hugging or dressing. They were interwined in the rope of the garrote.Patsy's fibers would naturally be all over Jonbenet - I'm sure she was hugging/holding Jonbenet a lot that day, not to mention dressing her etc.

tuppence said:I don't know. There are men who tend to be verbose too. I think it's stereotyping to assume the man was the "smart" one and would be brief and the woman silly/verbose.
I think JDI is the simplest scenario that fits the evidence and the psychology of the crime.
edited to add: It's even possible that as he was trying to disguise himself he subconsciously gravitated toward phrases/writing style that someone close to him had - that he was familiar with.
Docg has a great theory on JDI.tuppence said:Simplest solution. John is abusing JB, accidentally kills her, writes the ransom note planning to get rid of the body. He places it where he knows Patsy will find it first. She screws up his plan by insisting on calling the police even though the note says not to. At some point during the morning he realizes there is no way he's ever going to get the body out of there now that the police are involved and decides to "find it".
I know handwriting experts said he didn't write the note but I think that's bunk - look at how many were sure John Karr wrote it.
In this case only one person knows what happened - easiest way to keep a secret. Patsy naturally follows John's advice/lead (and that of his lawyers) on everything to do with the case assuming he knows best
He is innocent until proven broke.SuperDave said:JDI is simple.

ahhhh.............the very stoic john is not to be underestimated. i think he is a brilliant man who is capable of anything. i mean, i can't think of patsy coming up with that garrote. as a woman, i would have never thought of that.
I used to think a garotte was a man's weapon as well...then one year my brother gave me a book called The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers. All the best known names are there, and several I had never heard of - including a woman whose name currently escapes me. She was a 19th century child murderer. She took in kids that needed watching while their parents worked - "farming", she called it. Anyway, she was strangling the children, and when caught, she told police, "You'll know mine by the tape round their necks." So women do think of it.ellen13 said:ahhhh.............the very stoic john is not to be underestimated. i think he is a brilliant man who is capable of anything. i mean, i can't think of patsy coming up with that garrote. as a woman, i would have never thought of that.
icedtea4me said:I feel that John Ramsey was, at the very least, involved in the staging, if not the actual death of JonBenet. After reading his response to Lou Smit about the basement window (the one in my sig), it's easy to see that-
a. He's lying about the broken window.
or
b. He exhibits a language impairment in the area of syntax in the usage of past tense verbs.
