Please excuse my ignorance, but I haven't followed the JBR thread as closely as others. So, do most people on here think that JBR parents killed her or were somehow involved? What was the motive? Were her parents abusive to her?
I do remember the bogus ransom note and how the writing resembled Patsy's known handwriting. This, to me, seemed to implicate the parents, but I really don't know all the facts of this case.
Thanks for your time and don't hate on me too much because after all ..........
I am a newbie lol
We were all newbies once. Welcome.
Yes, most people here are RDI (Ramseys Did It). But there are also some IDIs (Intruder Did It) I encourage you to make up your own mind.
IMO, the motive will not be known until the killer is caught. Even then, it may not make much sense. It's always nice to know the motive, but it isn't essential. Murder cases have been solved w/o knowing the motive.
There is evidence of prior sexual abuse, but it can't really be linked to the parents.
The RN is bogus, and that is what made me RDI. Kidnappers don't leave the body in the house if they want to collect ransom. Kidnappers don't ask a very wealthy man for $118K. Kidnappers don't have any reason to go into the basement if they took the girl from her upstairs bedroom.
Small Foreign Factions do not harm the United States by killing 6 year olds.
Parents who pretend to take seriously the RN where it says she'll be beheaded if the instructions are not followed exactly, should also pretend to take the rest of the RN seriously and not call police, their reverend, friends, and neighbors, despite instructions to the contrary.
Parents don't call to arrange flights to Atlanta shortly after their daughter's dead body has been discovered.
The Rs tell the cops Burke was in bed the whole time, yet Burke is heard in the background when Patsy makes the 911 call.
The Rs claim JBR was in bed around 10pm, but we know she ate pineapple about 2 hours before she died.
There is no evidence of anyone breaking into the house that night. If it was an intruder he'd have had to come through a door or window that was unlocked, or he had a key.
If it was an intruder he was strangely prepared/unprepared at the same time. He didn't bring a RN with him, preferring to use pen and paper from the R's home. Yet IDI theorizes that he brought rope and tape with him.
IDI can't decide if the flashlight was brought by the intruder or not. If so, why didn't he take it with him? The flashlight has the fingerprints wiped off - even the batteries are wiped off. The R's were known to have a flashlight like the one found in the home.
The list of things that don't add up is very long. I haven't even hit all the highlights.
But seriously, I encourage you to look at IDI theory with an open mind and decide for yourself. Obviously I'm only presenting the RDI theory (and only the tip of the iceberg at that)
