I think it was nothing more than something JonBenet was told about the trip to Michigan or the cruise. Such as Melinda or some other relative who would see her after Christmas made an innocent, "And Santa will be visiting after Christmas, too," etc. to explain why she would be getting presents...

There was an episode of the tv series M*🤬🤬S*H once. In it, a soldier was brought in on Christmas Day. One of the doctors, B.J., worked frantically at saving the guy even though there was no hope. When asked why, he said he found a photograph of the soldier's kids in his pocket and that he just...

FWIW, James Ellroy is now distancing himself from Steve Hodel's theory. He said Hodel convinced him (thus his preface to Hodel's book) but that Hodel has gone off the rails in recent years. Ellroy particularly cited Hodel's theory that a minion of his father killed Ellroy's mother, a theory...

It sounds like a typical Christmas card. I'm sure the Rams got as many cards and newsletters as they sent out themselves, which must've been dozens and dozens. The "you all" sounds like a letter addressed to the family, definitely not JonBenet alone, and "Friend" is totally generic.

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.

The evidence is that Patsy wrote the note and Patsy's fibers were found in the paint tray and intertwined in the garrote, as well as it being Patsy's art supplies. In terms of psychology the crime fits more with a female closely related to the victim. I don't disregard John in terms of the...

Patsy wrote the note. It's too close to her style and her handwriting. It's too much of a coincidence that so many of her hallmarks exist in a long, phony ransom note and she was in the house. That's not to say that John may not have thrown out a few ideas while Patsy was writing it, but if John...

Not if you had to think on the fly that night. The crime and staging were done that night, and were not very well-thought out.

That would be easily coverable by crying during/after the 911 call before the cops got there, and also throughout the morning. No one would be able to tell if her eyes looked puffy from that crying or crying the night before. It was noted, perhaps by Arndt, that it struck her as odd that when...

The autopsy report shows that she ate it only a couple of hours before her death. Her crab meal that she ate at the Whites had been digested and turned into fecal matter. There was another post that I can't find that broke down the entire timeline and rates of digestion to show that it was...

[/color] And that person would've had to have an intimate knowledge of the Ramseys' lives and their home and thus be known to the Ramseys. But I've yet to see an IDIer pinpoint anyone close to the Rams would could have feasibly done this: the intruders are always strangers, like Helgoth or Karr.

Fantastic line by line analysis, Plenum7. It certainly does demolish the theory that the note was written by a kidnapper. Compulsion was also a (very well-made, IMO) movie which is aired on TV occasionally. I saw it recently on AMC late one night.

I don't think that the time is that important as John and Patsy's inability to give a consistent accout of JB's actions that night. I knew a man who lost his daughter to a carjacker. He said he had gone over a million times in his head the last time he saw his daughter, what she was wearing...

There's evidence that the Ramseys, or at least John, were very surface Christians. I think Patsy probably was into it more, but could very easily convince herself that she was forgiven by God and did God's will.

So you don't think the same person who removed the nightgown put it next to her body? Then who did remove it and where did they put it? Some place else in the house? How did it get next to JonBenet's body then? Again, what is YOUR theory? You could avoid any confusion from your statement if...
